Even the referee was stunned by the crisp slap. He stayed at the bottom line for a while, with a spoon in his mouth and his lips moving a few times, not knowing whether to blow or not.
Seeing the anger burning in Green's eyes and preparing to rush forward and slap Li Kaiming, he decisively blew the whistle, signaling an offensive foul to Li Kaiming and warning Green not to be impulsive!
The remaining players from both sides immediately gathered around and stood between Li Kaiming and Green to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
Li Kaiming stared at the hysterical Green with calm eyes, sneering in his heart.
At first glance, this guy was pretending. He was obviously the one who made the first move, but he was able to defend himself and then counterattacked.
I'm used to taking advantage, and I can't stand it when I suffer a loss.
We usually evaluate this kind of people as: If you don’t pick up the money, you will lose it!
Green's face was full of anger, but he was helpless in his heart. He originally thought of using a dirty trick to guard this guy while the referee was not paying attention, but in the end, he was slapped in the face by Li Kaiming in public!
If he doesn't pretend to get angry, the referee won't even call a foul!
Although Williams on the side seemed to be trying his best to stop Li Kaiming, Li Kaiming clearly saw that after the guy turned his head to him, he not only grinned extremely happily with big white teeth, but also secretly gave him a thumbs up. !
Apparently he was very happy to see his nemesis being taught a lesson by him!
Seeing that the conflict was basically suppressed, Pastner on the sidelines immediately stepped forward to put pressure on the referee!
How could this ball be an offensive foul? This should be self-defense. Green's hand was obviously aimed at Li Kaiming's face. Why didn't you blow it?
In fact, it really doesn't matter whether the foul is given to Li Kaiming or not. So far, this is the latter's first foul. Judging from past game experience, Li Kaiming has done an extremely good job in controlling fouls in the game. There is no need to worry about getting into foul trouble in the second half because of this ball.
But as his coach, Pastner knew clearly that when it was time to stand up and express his opinion, he had to stand up. Otherwise, in a game like this without home and away games, if the coach does not put pressure on the referee, the referee will also find fault. More towards the opposite side.
Not surprisingly, the referee did not change the decision, but told Pastner that he would pay attention to Green's behavior on the defensive end.
Pastner sat back on the bench with satisfaction.
The game continued with Michigan serving.
Carlin Lucas received the serve from his teammate, faced Kemp's defense, and took six seconds to reach the frontcourt. Although the previous tactic was broken by Li Kaiming, the rich tactics brought by Green were obviously not as simple as driving the center.
Because Michigan actually played a pick-and-roll between Lucas and Green again!
Seeing this scene, Li Kaiming in the penalty area was a little suspicious. He was clearly guarded by me in the last round, so why come again?
There must be a ghost!
After receiving the ball, Green immediately rushed into the penalty area, but at this moment, the opponent's formation changed again. The two wings in the bottom corner started at the same time and ran to the edge of the penalty area on the bottom line, and then made a cross move to the right. Jon Crandall in the side corner blocked the pursuit of two people by himself!
And point guard Isaiah Dahlman, who slipped from the left corner to the right corner, was instantly unguarded.
Green, who was marching, had quick eyes and quick hands, and the ball in his hand was delivered to Dalman in the bottom corner as accurately as a missile.
Facing a large gap of more than three meters, even a water dispenser would have enough confidence, let alone the starting shooting guard of the University of Michigan. Dalman caught the ball and adjusted his posture, then bent his knees and kicked on the ground, his strength flowing from the soles of his feet along his body. Conduction, finally bursting out from your fingers!
The basketball spun out from his fingertips and flew accurately into the basket. It was like a stone falling into the water, and the net was set off with a wave.
New tactics!
Li Kaiming was a little anxious. It was impossible for him to let go of his defender and rush to the outside.
In fact, he has such ability, but the question is, if he goes out, can the teammates who switch defenses with him, facing the 2.13-meter-tall Herzog, be able to guard against the alley-oop passed by Green to the former? ?
Pastner on the sidelines also frowned deeply. Tom Izzo is indeed a veteran coach, he really has a lot of skills!
But this tactic must be cracked, otherwise Michigan will definitely continue to play this tactic. Wouldn't it be equivalent to letting the opponent shoot open three-pointers?
Li Kaiming immediately communicated with his two corner teammates Williams and Daniel Mack, "Can you guard against Herzog's alley-oop? If you can guard against it, then I will pounce outside in the next round!"
Williams and Mike looked at each other, then both had wry smiles on their faces, "Can't guard against it!"
Li Kaiming nodded. Yes, there is a height difference of more than ten centimeters between the two of them and Herzog, so it is normal that they cannot be guarded!
However, Pastner was not a vegetarian. He motioned to Williams and Weatherpens to switch defenders from the sidelines. That is, Williams directly faced Green, and then asked Weatherpens to stand in the bottom corner. Pence is 2.06 meters tall and can completely switch defenses with Li Kaiming!
Li Kaiming also has his own considerations. Even if he barely cracked the opponent's tactics this time, with Tom Izzo's coaching level, he will definitely come up with new tactics in the next round. In this way, they will always be led by the opponent, and they will lose. Take the initiative in the game!
He is not a passive person, he wants to take everything related to him into his own hands.
So far, the core of these tactics relies on Green's ability to handle the ball in the penalty area. Therefore, if you want to resolve Michigan's constant tactics, you only need to grasp the core of their tactics to destroy all the tactics established by relying on the core of tactics. Tactics!
As for the core of Michigan's tactics, it seems that Dream Green is naturally the current one!
Li Kaiming immediately thought of a way. Since I can't target you on the defensive end, I will target you on the offensive end and I will beat you down!
Arriving at the frontcourt, Kemp held the ball and was about to run according to the previous tactic when he saw Li Kaiming wink at him. Then Weatherpens on the side also understood the situation and immediately came over to give Kemp a cover.
Veteran Weatherpens's screen was very solid, blocking the opposing point guard Lucas so tightly that even Kemp's shadow could not be seen.
Wetherpoons' defender Green naturally made up for it immediately and completed a defensive change. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly a tall figure stood beside him again, blocking one side of his field of vision.
Green looked sideways and immediately gritted his teeth in anger. At the same time, there was a hint of wariness in his eyes. What did this guy want to do?
Seeing Li Kaiming in place, Kemp immediately took cover and charged in.
Li Kaiming's two-meter-one body stands like a pillar on one side of Green. No matter how hard the latter squeezes, he can't squeeze past Li Kaiming's cover!
Due to Li Kaiming's strong screen, Michigan had to switch defense again, allowing Green to face Li Kaiming.
Why go to all the trouble and not just let Weatherpens pick and roll, and then pass the ball to Li Kaiming.
That's because lobbing the ball inside is not as simple as it seems. It is a very technical job that not everyone can do.
Such an important task must naturally be handed over to the Tigers' best player in feeding the ball inside, that is, point guard Kemp. No one in the Tigers can match this skill!
