The 15-minute halftime quickly slipped away amid the cheerleaders' hot dance. Li Kaiming followed the coach and teammates to the Tigers' bench, watching the cheerleaders jump and dance as they exited the field. His smooth thighs under the short skirt made him feel a little beautiful.
In the commentary box, Calvin and reporter Bruce Jackson from CBS are paying attention to this year's draft market.
"Bruce, how many people in this field today do you think can enter the NBA in June's draft?" Calvin asked.
Jackson blinked, rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then said calmly, "Based on my understanding and what was shown in today's live game, I think Elliott Williams is basically Starting from the middle of the first round, there is also the possibility of entering the Little Green Room. Randy Culpepper is an excellent scorer and can lead the team to victory, but due to his physical fitness and age, he may not Drafted at the end of the second round, his teammate Eugene Calact is a very physical forward player, and if I were the manager of the team, I would probably use my second-round pick to give him a chance."
After saying this, Jackson stopped to take a sip of water. When he turned around, he found Calvin staring at him without saying a word.
"What's wrong?" Jackson asked confused.
Calvin asked tentatively, "Are you done?"
Jackson was stunned, "It's over!"
Calvin was also stunned for a moment, "Isn't Li Kaiming on your list?"
Jackson suddenly understood, laughed, and then shook his head, "Man, it's not that I look down on Li. He is a very dominant player. He only started two games and was able to produce extremely good data. This gave me, including myself, Many people have unlimited daydreams. However, my friend, the NBA and the NCAA are not the same game. The NBA has greater intensity of competition, a more intensive schedule, and a longer season. Those guys in the NBA are not as gentlemen as the NCAA. They will Tear apart everything that stands in their way..."
Calvin interrupted, "Are you saying that Lee can't adapt to NBA competition at all?"
Jackson nodded, "The competition between the NCAA and the NBA is not at the same level at all. Except for those freaks with extraordinary talents, such as Jordan and O'Neal, most players will lose efficiency after entering the NBA, so basically everyone enters the NBA." One thing is to build muscle, because the competition in the NBA is nothing like what they've faced before."
As if he wanted to prove that he was not targeting Li Kaiming, he explained a lot before talking about Li Kaiming, "Li is a very good player, but the injuries he suffered almost doomed him to have no hope of entering the NBA! Even if he can barely enter, In the NBA, he will also encounter many difficulties. First of all, under the huge intensity of confrontation in the NBA, his damaged Achilles tendon may be injured again; secondly, even if his Achilles tendon can withstand repeated pulling, it cannot be ruled out. Excessive compensatory pressure in other parts, leading to injuries, such as ankle ligaments, knees, etc..."
Under his detailed account, Calvin, a loyal fan of Li Kaiming, also began to become a little pessimistic. Could it be that such a talented player could only stir up trouble in the NCAA?
——
On the court, the second half of the game started with the referee's whistle!
In the first round, the Miners had the ball. As soon as Li Kaiming came up, he found that everyone on the opposite side looked like a different person. Their faces were heavy and aggressive, and even their movements were much louder!
It seems that the coach of the Miners was very dissatisfied with the performance of the players in the first half and gave them a proper provocation during the halftime break.
The opposite point guard dribbled to the frontcourt and handed the ball to the team's core figure - No. 3 Culpepper. Culpeper held the ball outside the three-point line. Facing Williams' defense, he After three threats, he suddenly raised his hand and shot a three-pointer!
Uh-huh!
The basketball fell into the basket!
36:31! The Miners are closing in on 5 points.
The Tigers served, and after Li Kaiming passed the ball to Kemp, he slowly ran to the frontcourt. He stood at the top of the arc and blocked Kemp, and then quickly moved down the line.
When he turned and ran into the three-point line, all the Miners players focused on him and involuntarily took a step inside.
Kemp dribbled the ball expertly and broke into the inside. When he looked up, he found that the three people on the opposite side had shrunk into the penalty area and surrounded Li Kaiming, but there was no one in front of him!
It seems that the Miners changed their defensive strategy against Li Kaiming in the second half, from catching the ball and double-teaming to preventing the ball!
Just watch your teammates fight. If your teammates have the ability, beat me to death!
Kemp made a throw from the edge of the penalty area, but his physical talent was so poor that even though the opponent's defensive pressure was almost all on Li Kaiming, he still couldn't score! Just giving him a little interference, his throw deviated from the predetermined track in his mind.
The thrown basketball hit the neck of the basket, making a crisp iron sound!
boom!
Li Kaiming looked at the rebound and the wall of three big men in front of him, and could only sigh helplessly and return to defense.
Although he is blessed with the epic [Rebounder Madman] badge, his basic attributes of strength and speed are still at the NCAA level, and he is simply unable to win offensive rebounds in a three-man team.
Only O'Neal can do that kind of thing.
Standing in the penalty area, Li Kaiming scanned the opposite formation.
The Miners gave the ball to Culpeper again, and this time Williams learned from the experience of the previous possession and immediately moved up to deny him any space to shoot.
But you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder. As the best player in the C-USA League this season, Culpepper naturally has two brushes. His eyes signaled his teammates to come up for the pick-and-roll, and then with the help of center Britton The wall changed direction and passed Williams, and then went straight to the inside.
When Li Kaiming saw this, he immediately defended him. This Culpepper was not the kind of scorer who only knew how to break through, so you absolutely couldn't stand in the paint and watch him shoot.
He stretched out his long arms and followed Culpepper's footsteps with his sliding steps, shrouding the opponent within his defensive range.
But Culpepper is not stupid. He had already experienced Li Kaiming's abnormal frame-protecting ability in the first half. How could he still head-on against the latter? Isn't that looking for a hat?
As he was walking, he suddenly blasted the ball with his right hand, then quickly changed his feet and took a large step back to the right, instantly widening the distance between him and Li Kaiming.
Li Kaiming's heart trembled, and he shouted that something was wrong. He immediately raised his hands in the air and pounced with the soles of his feet!
Culpepper took advantage of the hard-earned space and quickly took off. The basketball spun out of his hand, brushed Li Kaiming's fingertips, and then landed accurately in the basket!
Uh-huh! 36:33, the Miners narrowed the point difference to 3 points!
Li Kaiming clapped his hands regretfully, indicating to his teammates that he did not defend well.
However, after scoring the goal, Culpeper also had a trace of shock in his eyes, calling it a fluke in his heart. His side step-back jump shot has always been a stunt he was proud of, but just now, he was almost given up by the No. 34 on the opposite side. Hat arrived!
He could even hear the sound of Li Kaiming's nails scraping the surface of the basketball!
How could there be such perverted people in the world!
