Li Kaiming started with full fire. In just three rounds, he hit all three of his shots. On the other hand, Tennessee attacked the inside like a steelhead. All the shots either deviated from the basket due to Li Kaiming's interference, or ended up in a dead end. A solid spicy hotpot!
The on-site commentary immediately lost its composure!
"What is Tennessee doing? Are you watching Li Kaiming rule his own restricted area? Is Bruce Bohr asleep?"
No one answered him and the game continued.
Strong doubts arose in everyone's mind. Has Tennessee given up?
But looking at Bruce Bohr's confident look, it seems that there is still a chance to win this game.
In the next round, Tennessee's offense was again blocked by Memphis. This time Kemp had just brought the ball to the frontcourt and called a timeout at Pastner's signal.
beep!
The live commentary was completely messy!
"What are these two coaches doing today? Those who should call timeout should not be called, and those who should not be called should be called by the opponent! What a pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes!"
Listening to the commentator's criticism of himself, Pastner smiled and shook his head. It seemed that today's commentator didn't understand football at all!
Li Kaiming came off the field and came to the team's bench. Pastner looked at him with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, "Li, haven't you seen it yet? Bruce Bohr is consuming you! He just wants you to Use up all your energy in advance!”
Li Kaiming smiled and explained, "Coach, of course I can see it, but the defense on the opposite side is obviously targeted. Almost all the easy scoring opportunities come from me. Can I still see the opportunity and not take action?"
Pastner was stunned, yes! Bruce Bohr's plan will definitely not be that simple. Since he wants to consume Li Kaiming, he will try his best to get the ball into Li Kaiming's hands!
There was an anxious look on his face, "Then if you do this, isn't it equivalent to falling into the trap of the other party?"
Li Kaiming shook his head and said, "Coach, Bohr dared to do this. In addition to my weakness in physical strength, there is another reason. Has he ever thought about how they can catch up if the point difference widens after I break out?"
Pastner was stunned!
Grass! Why didn't he think of this? Bruce Bohr dared to do this because he was confident that when Li Kaiming came off the field due to lack of physical strength, the substitute could recover the points difference!
Memphis' substitutes are obviously the worst among the eight remaining teams. No wonder Bohr is so confident, watching Li Kaiming dunk all kinds of times without calling a timeout!
So, this is a conspiracy!
The only solution is for Li Kaiming and other starting players to fill up their playing time and not give the opponent a chance to play Tian Ji's horse racing!
Moreover, Tennessee's main target is Li Kaiming, so let Li Kaiming take priority as much as possible, and then use less effort on the defensive end to reduce consumption!
During a pause, Memphis came up with a response strategy. In fact, this is not a response strategy. If you want to win this game, this is the only way. After all, Memphis has been able to get to this point almost entirely because of its strength. starting lineup.
It’s good if the substitutes don’t hinder the team. Li Kaiming and Pastner didn’t expect that after they came off the field, their substitutes could play back and forth with Tennessee’s substitutes. Just think about it and you will know that this is not true. Possible things!
After returning from the timeout, when he saw that Memphis had no replacement players, Bruce Bol raised his eyebrows and looked at Pastner on the other side of the court.
The young man is very brave. He is going to be the starter and challenge me, right...
Bohr, who had been coaching for many years, naturally saw Pastner's plan at a glance, and he also felt a little disdainful.
Basketball is a team game. The rookie coach relied on Li Kaiming's personal ability to reach this point, which is already considered good. But today, I will teach you a lesson and let you see, in the face of perfect team tactics, the so-called A powerful individual can only be cannon fodder!
Memphis continued to attack. At first, the players tried to run a tactic to see if there was any chance from the outside, but the Tennessee players were like candy. Even if the Memphis shooter ran to the midfield, someone would follow...
Sure enough, I still have to do it!
Li Kaiming was stuck in position again, stretched out his hand, and Kemp's pass came to him in an instant.
Wayne Chim immediately posted it, although the coach clearly told him when formulating the strategy before the game that this game basically relied on him to defend alone, and it was impossible for him to defend it.
But how can a twenty-year-old young man listen to someone saying that he is not as good as another person?
Even if this person is a coach who knows him very well!
He pushed his chest against Li Kaiming's back, then used his legs to push against the latter.
"You can't score this ball! You'd better pass the ball out!"
Hearing this childish trash talk, Li Kaiming almost failed. He shot the ball. The moment the ball left his hand, his left-arm ball protector got stuck on the left side of Wayne Chim, and then used his left foot as the axis, a small Gyro turned around and passed Qim at lightning speed.
Now it's a one-on-one session with the center. After passing the center, there is naturally an open penalty area behind.
Li Kaiming took off and made another one-handed chop!
In less than five minutes after the start, he had already scored 10 points!
On the opposite side, Tennessee failed to score a point, and Li Kaiming temporarily led the opposing team!
After dunking, Li Kaiming turned around and retreated, shouting at Wayne Chim who was serving from the baseline, "Your trash talk is too inoffensive, just like your skills!"
Qim immediately blushed, and with his dark complexion, his entire face turned purple. His head looked like a huge purple cabbage from a distance.
In Tennessee's offensive round, as soon as they came to the frontcourt this time, their point guard Mize realized something was wrong!
Why are Memphis' outsiders like they've taken aphrodisiacs? They all pounce on them with red eyes!
This is of course Pastner's instruction. Since outside players don't have good shooting opportunities, then give me all your energy and use it on defense!
The Tennessee players obviously didn't expect that during a timeout, Memphis' perimeter defensive intensity would directly rise to a level!
So before they even reached the stage of consuming Li Kaiming, they were directly intercepted by Kemp and Williams from the outside!
Williams dribbled to the empty frontcourt, then took off with the ball in both hands. After spinning 360 degrees in the air, he slammed the ball into the basket with a bang!
"Oh! Elliott, a beautiful dunk showed his physical talent! Teams with lottery picks, why don't you hurry up?"
In the commentary box, the commentators and guests suddenly became confused. They were completely immune to Li Kaiming's dunk, but Williams' fancy dunk hit their G-spot again!
Bruce Bohr, whose face was ashen on the sidelines, yelled at the players on the court, "Hey! What are you doing? Be serious!"
The players were also aggrieved. It’s not that I’m not serious. The looks in the eyes of those guys on the opposite side were really scary!
