In essence, competition is about comparing who is better or worse.
Therefore, the victory or defeat of the game can be obtained from two aspects: offense and defense. One is to work hard to make our offense better than the opponent's offense. Then at the same defensive level, I can rely on offense to kill you. The other is to work hard to defend. The opponent's offense makes the opponent's offense worse than ours.
Both of these methods are ways to win, but the first one will be more entertaining to watch, while the second one can also win, but it will feed shit to the audience.
No one wants to pay to come to the arena to watch players play!
But from the moment Gary Williams double-teamed Li Kaiming like crazy, it was destined that the game would develop in this direction!
No one knows how to disgust others better than Li Kaiming!
Gary Williams stood on the sidelines with a dull look on his face, while the players on the Maryland bench also had their heads lowered, dejected, in a daze, gnawing their nails, but no one was paying attention to the game.
The Memphis bench at the other end of the court is not much different, but fortunately the team is ahead and the players will look up at the court.
The commentator in the commentary box has begun to tease the beautiful guest next to him, and occasionally intersperses two sentences of game commentary to show that the game is not over yet.
At this time, there were still 5 minutes left before the end of the game, and the score between the two sides became 47:58. In other words, a full 15 minutes had passed in the second half, and Memphis only scored 12 points, and Maryland was even more outrageous. Scored 9 points in 15 minutes.
The basket in the arena is almost smashed!
Fortunately, this is an NCAA game. If it were an NBA game, the boss would have fired these two coaches as soon as he saw it!
If you do this, who will come to watch the game? How to sell tickets?
On the court, Li Kaiming scored another rebound with a bang!
Just now, another addition was added to Maryland's blacksmithing record.
Not surprisingly, Maryland's two defenders came up again. Li Kaiming was already used to this. He passed the ball with a flick of his wrist and then came to the frontcourt.
He led his two followers to move around constantly, providing pick-and-rolls and screens for his teammates from time to time.
Finally, the hard work paid off, and with the unremitting efforts of the Memphis players, Weatherpens at 45 degrees was released again!
The ball was passed to his hands immediately. Weatherpoons caught the ball and jumped up to take action, as if he were a robot that had been trained thousands of times!
The ball had already been released, and Maryland's defense just rushed over. Although it was a huge open three-pointer, Weatherpoons' touch today was as if he hadn't washed his hands after using the toilet - it stinked ridiculously!
boom!
There was another dull sound of hammering. Li Kaiming looked at the two big men in front of him and the backboard in the distance, and sighed helplessly!
This game was so frustrating! It’s hard to win!
Before Maryland double-teamed him, he could still rely on the epic badge to get into the paint like a loach, and then unexpectedly pull down an offensive rebound.
But all this became impossible after Maryland's double team.
Gary Williams would rather let others in Memphis grab the rebound than let Li Kaiming grab it!
This is determined to disgust him!
Fortunately, he still had all the backcourt rebounds on his side. Thanks to his opponent, his rebounds increased more than his points in the second half!
However, Vazquez on the other side is even more uncomfortable. He can only run around and get rid of defenders on the court, and he can occasionally find an open space once in ten times, but this time it is also fleeting, and there is a gap in the blink of an eye. Two or more Memphis players come over.
He would rather let his teammates shoot than never give him a chance to hold the ball!
Although his passing skills are very solid, his passing skills will only come into play when facing a main defender and a helper defender. But now Memphis often uses three people to double-team, and they are all taller than him. Yes, that long arm was covered, and the sky was darkened instantly!
Vazquez wants to die!
On Maryland's side, as soon as Vazquez was strangled, everyone else was like headless chickens. Even though they ran to the position required by the tactics according to the training, they reached out and found that the ball was in the hands of another person, but That person is not good at shooting from that position!
So they can only reluctantly become workers in the steel factory, working tirelessly on the iron!
…
beep! The referee couldn't wait to blow the whistle to end the game and took a deep breath!
I won't brag about this kind of competition even to death! too disgusting!
The commentator who was teasing the female guest on the sidelines realized the end of the game belatedly, yawned and said, "The wonderful game is over. In the first round of the NCAA Midwest Division, Memphis defeated the University of Maryland 61:50 and advanced to the third round. Top 12. Elliott Williams of the University of Memphis had 23 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Li Kaiming had 19 points, 23 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks and 3 turnovers. The two stars performed well. For Maryland, Vazquez had 18 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. 2. Although the steal is defeated, it is still an honor..."
At the same time, the system's beep sounded in Li Kaiming's ears.
[System]: Congratulations to the host for completing C-level basic and advanced tasks, earning 8 attribute points, 50 points, and two badge upgrades!
He let out a long breath!
so close! Just one point more than Vazquez, almost failing the mission!
Under Gary Williams' disgusting tactics, he only scored 4 points in the second half, 2 of which were free throws, but he scored 15 rebounds and made a rare 3 turnovers!
The cost of double-teaming him is also obvious. His teammate Elliott Williams seemed to be a wolf among the sheep, entering and exiting the Maryland formation seven times, killing Maryland without leaving a single piece behind!
After the game, it is customary for the players and coaches of both teams to shake hands.
Vazquez held Li Kaiming's hand with a look of reluctance, "Li, you are really strong, I believe you will shut up those who look down on you! It's so unpleasant to lose to you for two consecutive years!" I will participate in the NBA draft this summer, and we will fight again in the NBA! When the time comes, I will not show mercy."
Li Kaiming smiled and nodded, "Do you think I'm a loose person?"
Vazquez was stunned, thinking of Memphis' inhuman double-team tactics today, and a trace of fear flashed across his face.
He suddenly regretted it. Should he let Li Kaiming go out? This guy's revenge is crazy!
The coaches of both sides also shook hands in a seemingly friendly manner, and Pastnappi said with a smile, "Gary, your tactics are very effective."
Gary Williams tried his best to move the corners of his mouth, hoping to show a generous smile, but no matter how hard he tried, the smile on his face was like crying!
He really couldn't laugh!
