It turned out that Elliott Williams took advantage of this space to rush into the paint in a 4-on-3 situation, and then finished with a one-handed chop!
The two players guarding Li Kaiming were very aggrieved. It was obvious that the guy you were talking about had to follow me when he went to the toilet. Why did you turn your back on him when you followed him to the three-point line?
But they didn't dare to talk back to Gary Williams, not only because the coach has supreme authority in the NCAA, but even if they did, the latter would have something to say to stop them.
I told you to follow me, but I didn’t tell you to follow me out! I want you to eat Xie Te, will you go? Aren't you able to adapt to changing circumstances?
So they could only break their teeth and swallow it, and remember this lesson in their hearts. Next time No. 34 on the opposite side runs to the outside, they don't have to double-team.
Elliott Williams' dunk brought the deficit back to double digits, and Memphis once again had a chance to breathe.
In Maryland's offensive round, Vazquez took the ball to the three-point line and reached out to signal Jordan Williams to cover. The moment the latter blocked Elliott, a tall figure suddenly enveloped him!
At the same time, there was a huge roar, "Elliot, come here quickly and pinch this girl to death!"
Who else could be such a tall figure besides Li Kaiming!
The reason why Pastner was not allowed to call a timeout at that time was because he had already thought of a way to deal with it. Since Maryland didn't let him score, then Vazquez on your side can't even think about scoring!
Because Maryland only has Vazquez as its offensive core, and the other players are about the same as the Memphis players. Not to mention Elliott, he is far ahead of the others!
In addition, the system's task required that his score should not be lower than Vazquez, so he naturally thought of this trick!
I'm disgusted, right? Then I'll retaliate in kind, and you won't even think about it easy!
Facts have proved that when one person goes to great lengths just to disgust another person, the latter will definitely feel as uncomfortable as eating Shet!
This is what Vazquez is like at this time!
Under the siege of two villains, Li Kaiming and Elliott Williams, he was caught off guard and the basketball in his hand was instantly stabbed out of his hand by Li Kaiming's long arm!
Then he could only watch as the guy made a fast break and then dunked!
It wasn't that he was unwilling to defend, but that in addition to Li Kaiming, there was a Memphis player next to him. When Elliott saw that Li Kaiming succeeded in stealing the ball, he immediately blocked Vazquez's return route.
After dunking, Li Kaiming looked up to the sky and roared!
To be honest, Gary Williams's strategy really affected him, otherwise he wouldn't be so aggrieved.
After finishing the buckle, my depressed mood finally felt better.
But on the way back to his own half, when he saw Vazquez's face as if he had eaten shit, the depression in his heart was completely gone!
Gary Williams on the sidelines also turned pale instantly!
He didn't expect that the big man on the court had already figured out a way to deal with it before Pastner on the opposite side took any action!
His move is indeed vicious, but the disadvantage is that if Memphis uses the same move against Maryland, Maryland will not have any countermeasures, and may even end up worse than Memphis!
After all, even if you lock Li Kaiming, Memphis still has Elliott Williams who averages 17 points per game. This guy who is expected to be selected in the first round is not a vegetarian!
But on Maryland's side, once Vazquez is strangled to death, most of Maryland's tactics will basically be useless!
Because Vazquez is not only Maryland's top scorer, but also the team's top passer. In other words, he is the real core of the entire team. Apart from him, the other players are just the Maryland team. Just parts on the machine!
But Memphis, which lost Li Kaiming, just lost a core on the offensive end. They also have another core who can take on a big responsibility!
And Maryland, which loses Vazquez, will be completely reduced to a fish belly!
Gary Williams' move truly illustrates what it means to shoot oneself in the foot!
Originally, he was complacent that he could come up with such a targeted double-teaming strategy, but he didn't expect that this sharp weapon would hit him in the blink of an eye!
At this time, he was about to cry without tears!
When Pastner next to the Memphis bench saw this, he had an idea and immediately signaled the referee to call a timeout.
Why shouldn't such an effective tactic be put to good use so Maryland can enjoy it?
Listening to Pastner's defensive arrangement against Vazquez, even Li Kaiming couldn't help but pray for the latter.
I didn't expect that Pastner, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also feel bad water flowing in his heart!
After the game came back, Vazquez, who rushed forward with the ball, noticed something was wrong in the first round!
Because he found that when the guys on the opposite side saw him, they were like a wolf seeing a little white rabbit, and their eyes glowed green!
At this time, he was obviously sweating profusely due to the heat, but he shivered involuntarily!
After a skillful dribble from outside the three-point line, he was about to start a pass. When he looked up, he was instantly frightened and almost out of his mind!
Three big men headed by Li Kaiming rushed towards him fiercely!
He could even imagine the lewd laughter of these three guys.
Why is this unexpected? So he could only pass the ball to his seemingly open teammates, but Memphis' double-team was not a brainless double-team, but a purposeful attempt to clear Maryland's out-of-range inside line, not giving their shooters space!
With Li Kaiming's strong defensive ability, even if Jordan Williams is given a certain amount of space, he can still defend back within a second!
Unless the latter chooses to shoot, of course, this is what Li Kaiming is happy to see!
Vazquez's pass this time was lobbed to Jordan Williams, but Williams looked confused when he received the ball. What happened? Why is no one guarding me?
Then he immediately took three steps and attacked towards the basket!
But Pastner has already anticipated this situation. A center like Williams has no ability to handle the ball at all. As long as he delays his layup appropriately, Li Kaiming, who comes over from defense, will finally protect the frame. That’s it!
There is no need to worry that he can pass the ball!
And the fact is exactly as Pastner expected. Weatherpens on the side took a step inward, slightly blocking Jordan Williams' pace.
After that, Li Kaiming, who rushed from outside the penalty area, rewarded Williams with a spicy hot pot!
What a coincidence. After the block was blocked, it hit Jordan Williams. The referee at the bottom line immediately signaled that Memphis had the ball!
The on-site commentator also sighed, "After watching the first half, I thought it was a wonderful showdown between strong players. Unexpectedly, the second half turned into a mutual feeding game to see who couldn't resist being sick first!"
The commentator's description is extremely appropriate, because in the first half, you can still see exciting offensive and defensive rounds, but in the second half, the duel between the two sides turned into an iron fight in a strange atmosphere!
This contrast caused the entire arena to fall into speechless silence!
