In the Dome Stadium, on the Tennessee bench, the players were jumping up and down, screaming and roaring, like a mountain of flowers and fruits!
Coach Bruce Bohr let out a long sigh of relief!
After playing a whole game, we finally took the lead, and we took the lead at the last minute!
If Connington hadn't scored this goal, I'm afraid it would have been Bohr who became the clown today. When formulating the pre-game tactics, he swore that Memphis would be physically weak!
Originally, according to his expectations, his side's lead should have been five minutes ago, but the guys on the opposite side pushed this time back by five minutes!
Thinking of this, even Bohr had admiration for Li Kaiming and others!
To be able to persist for a whole game, in his opinion, is really not something that humans can do. Memphis did not lose to them, but lost to the limits of human beings.
Being able to see what the semifinals of the March Madness tournament are like is a lifetime experience as a coach...
On the court, the faces of the Tennessee players could not hide their excitement! Going to the national semifinals! Who is unhappy?
But they still maintained their due professionalism and covered the whole court when Memphis served.
This time, Li Kaiming did not serve from the baseline, but stood in the frontcourt to help his teammates cover. The one who served from the baseline was Kemp, the point guard with the best passing skills.
It was relatively easy for Tennessee's players to defend five against four on the court, but they still arranged the defensive formation purposefully and placed two people next to Li Kaiming.
After all, this guy has thrown in a three-pointer, so he must not be allowed to catch the ball!
Li Kaiming ran to the midline and blocked Weatherpens. With the help of this screen, Weatherpens had a defensive vacuum around him for about a second!
Kemp immediately served and threw the ball into Weatherpens' arms with a through ball, then quickly ran to the frontcourt and took the ball from the latter's hands.
There are 5 seconds left!
I have to get one!
After the tactics of the first few rounds, Kemp chose not to trust Mike this time, but stretched out his hand to let Weatherpens and Li Kaiming come up to cover.
The cover between Li Kaiming and Li Kaiming was very solid, and they stuck Tennessee point guard Mize behind. However, there were two defenders beside Li Kaiming. As soon as he came over, plus Wetherpens' defender, Kemp's Three people were immediately blocked in front of him!
Tennessee has gone too far!
Daniel Mack's performance in the first few rounds caused his defender to ignore him, so the situation on the court now becomes that the four remaining men from Memphis and the five from Tennessee are crowded on the right side of the court. On the left side of the field, there is only Daniel Mack alone!
This is not treating Mike as a human being at all!
And Mike was also very motivated, standing blankly outside the three-point line and not cutting inside, which led to Tennessee double-teaming even more unscrupulously!
After Weatherpens screened Kemp, he immediately broke away and ran to the right corner with 3 seconds left!
Kemp faced the defense of three people and couldn't take action at all, so he had to pass the ball to Weatherpens!
As soon as the ball reached Weatherpoons' hands, Wallich pounced on it in an instant, as fast as lightning. If Weatherpoons chose to take action, he would definitely be greeted by a big hat!
Weatherpens also knew that this opportunity was fleeting and he needed to find another successor.
But at this time, both Li Kaiming and Kemp were under strict defense. If they wanted to pass the ball, they could only pass it to... the unguarded Daniel Mack on the other side!
There was no time, Wetherpoons couldn't think too much, he moved the ball in a wide range and passed the ball to Daniel Mack!
Seeing Daniel Mack receiving the ball, but there was no one three meters in front of him, everyone's eyes turned to him.
The last time I was a non-contact person, what about this time...
Pastner covered his face with both hands and rubbed it hard twice. With Daniel Mack's psychological quality, it would be good if the ball hit the backboard.
Bruce Bohr on the other side smiled and showed his white front teeth. In his opinion, when the ball was given to Daniel Mack, victory was already firmly in their hands.
Daniel Mack, who received the ball, didn't dare to take a breath. He only felt a mountain pressing on his back, making him unable to breathe, let alone move.
He raised the ball with difficulty, his movements were as slow as a slow-motion replay in a movie. Under the gaze of everyone, the basketball flew out of his fingertips...
The eyes of everyone in the audience were following the ball in the air, getting closer and closer to the basket...
Chim and Negedu, after seeing Daniel Mack take action, immediately came to the basket and prepared to protect the last rebound. This was the winning rebound!
Bang!
A crisp crash sounded!
The basketball hit the backboard, but it didn't hit the front of the backboard, but the side of the backboard!
Daniel Mack actually made two wide-open three-pointers in full view of everyone, without even touching the basket!
Negedu and Chim immediately smiled when they saw the ball hit the side of the backboard, but then they stopped laughing because they discovered that the ball could not be bounced at all. In their hands!
The ball hit the left side of the backboard, and Negedu and Chim, one on the left and one on the right, were guarding directly under the basket. The basketball that hit the left side of the backboard bounced back towards the way it came, completely It's beyond their jurisdiction!
The two of them suddenly felt awe-struck. This thing shouldn't be such a coincidence...
Not long after the little Jiujiu in their hearts was born, a tall figure more than two meters tall rose from the ground, shot into the sky like a rocket, roared, and with a snap of his long arms, he caught the basketball in the air. !
After seeing the person who got the rebound, the fans at the scene instantly became excited!
"It's Li! Is he going to kill him?"
"God, this game is so exciting!"
"I need oxygen, hurry, I can't breathe..."
Bruce Bohr's face turned pale, and he tried his best to shout hysterically at the two Chims, "Quick! Guard me!" His tone was full of despair!
Needless to say, Qim and the two of them pounced on Li Kaiming the moment they saw Li Kaiming grabbing the rebound. The remaining three Tennessee players also pounced on Li Kaiming in an instant!
On the big screen, the time flashed by 1 second!
Li Kaiming, last moment, 1V5!
Although the ball bounced quite far, Li Kaiming, who was standing on the edge of the penalty area, still got the rebound with his wingspan. He smiled at the two Chims who were rushing towards him, and then calmly hit the ball directly near the left penalty area line. Throw it!
A layup was unrealistic and there was no time. It happened to be close to the basket, so he directly used the center's basket skills. With a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew from his right hand to the basket.
The two Chims tried their best and stretched out their arms to reach for the basketball in the air, but the ball still barely passed by their fingertips!
At this moment, all the time on the big screen ran out, and the whistle for the end of the game sounded in the stadium.
But no one made any move to leave.
Bang!
A clear impact sounded, and in the arena with tens of thousands of people, such a small sound was clearly audible.
Li Kaiming's heart immediately tightened. He saw the basketball hit the front edge of the basket, then bounced up, then fell again, and bounced again on the right side.
The hearts of everyone in the audience trembled a few times with these two bounces!
This is not playing on the basket, but playing in everyone's heart!
