Seeing Smith easily crushing Mike and scoring, Stevens looked at Pastner with a hint of demonstration in his eyes.
If you want to use me to prove yourself, you have to crack this tactic of mine first!
Pastner did not have any expression on this. For him, it is more important at this time to stabilize the mentality of the players.
The game continued on the court. Kemp dribbled to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Williams again. Just when Williams was about to break through, the small forward Hayward in the bottom corner on the same side suddenly let Daniel go. Mike, rushed over to double-team Williams.
His movements were so fast that even Williams didn't react for a moment. He was double-teamed and his breakthrough was blocked in an instant. He hurriedly retrieved the ball and was almost intercepted.
Williams' ability to handle the ball is still a bit poor, and he can only score as an attacker. His ability to drive his teammates is not as good as some of the better swingmen.
He protected the ball from beyond the three-point line to prevent it from being stolen by the two opponents.
Seeing that Williams had lost his offensive rhythm, Hayward immediately returned to the bottom corner to prevent Daniel Mack from leaving a big gap.
He still remembers what Stevens told him before the game that Daniel Mack can let go at critical moments, but he still can't let it go easily during regular times. After all, three-pointers are what he eats.
After such a sudden attack, Memphis' entire offensive rhythm was disrupted, and Williams could not continue dribbling. Others were also tightly guarded and unable to catch the ball.
Seeing this, Li Kaiming jammed Andrew Smith with his body, then opened his hand and asked Williams for the ball.
Under tight defense, Williams reluctantly passed the ball to Li Kaiming.
Seeing Li Kaiming get the ball inside, Andrew Smith immediately put roots under his feet, pressing his chest against Li Kaiming's back like a huge pillar.
This guy has almost all the excellent qualities of a white center, with a stable lower body and strong strength.
He even weighed more than Li Kaiming, so the latter exerted force on his feet and after a few tentative pushes, he found that Smith was not moving at all.
Seeing that Li Kaiming was in the embarrassing situation of not knowing what to do with the ball, the commentator Koslov immediately said impatiently, "Li Kaiming's choice is too stupid. He should catch the ball slightly outside and then take advantage of his speed. , attacking Smith facing the basket, what Smith is least afraid of is him hitting like this!"
Stevens smiled disdainfully when he heard Koslov's words.
If he can get the ball facing the basket in that position, he won't be facing Smith's defense alone!
It turns out that Li Kaiming received the ball at this position and beat Smith one-on-one. This was a trap left by Stevens for Memphis!
This seems to be a relatively good opportunity, but in such a small space, Li Kaiming's speed advantage cannot be used at all.
In addition, the opposite Andrew Smith is also a 211 full-sized center, so even if Li Kaiming can accelerate and get rid of the former by a short distance, Smith can use his long arms to interfere!
If it were the previous Li Kaiming, he might not have been able to counterattack. However, the current version of Li Kaiming has the [Hook Hand Master] badge. How can he be easily restricted by this formation?
There was not much time left to attack. Li Kaiming swatted the ball and then leaned back hard. Smith was suddenly exerted by his force and took a step back on the ground, leaving him a little space to make moves.
Smith was also a tough guy. He endured the severe pain in his ribs and immediately pushed forward again.
But how could Li Kaiming let the shot opportunity slip away after finally getting it? He immediately used his left foot as the axis to rotate his body while protecting the ball on the right side of his body. When his body was facing the basket, He took the ball with both hands and drew an arc, then left the basketball with his left hand, used his left arm to push away Smith's slapped palm, flicked the wrist of his right hand at the highest point, and completed an old man-style hook in front of everyone!
Seeing Li Kaiming's clumsy move, the whole audience burst into loud laughter!
"What is this? Does he think this is a baseball field?"
"Is this the hook of an old man who is as famous as carrying a urinal?"
"Such a handsome guy actually uses such an ugly posture? God, if it were me, I would definitely find a pillar and hit him to death!"
…
But then they stopped laughing, because Li Kaiming's hook, which looked very "grounded", flew out of his hand, flew past Smith's fingertips, and finally fell into the basket!
[System]: Mission progress 1/5.
At the commentary table, looking at Koslov with a dull look on his face, Sharp snickered in his heart, and then took over the task of explaining, "Hahaha, Li's hook made people feel very strange, as if they were being tricked. of!"
Koslov immediately reacted and repeated Sharp's words, "Yes, it must have been tricked in!"
Stevens frowned, wondering whether to change his defensive strategy, but ultimately chose to stay put.
Before the game, he watched Li Kaiming's game video over and over again. In his opinion, this guy's face-to-basket skills can be said to be impeccable, but his back-up skills are almost non-existent.
Although he scored one just now, there is still a small chance that this kind of thing will happen. Looking at Li Kaiming's movements, it doesn't look like he can master the hook skillfully.
But Pastner was very surprised. I haven't seen this guy practice the hook before? When did you secretly master this trick?
Immediately everyone forgot about this ball, because this time Butler once again played an exquisite cooperation. The pick-and-roll between Hayward and Howard created a vacuum inside for a moment, and Howard, who is skilled in passing, certainly did not. He would miss such an opportunity. After a casual throw, Andrew Smith rushed over from the baseline and caught the ball for a two-handed dunk!
At this time, Li Kaiming was standing in the penalty area, preparing to defend Hayward's throw.
This guy is so difficult to guard against! A solid lottery pick indeed!
The first dunk immediately made the atmosphere in the arena more lively. By the way, some people thought of Li Kaiming's goal just now.
"This is basketball! Quick dunks and elegant shots. What was that Chinese boy's goal just now?"
"Brother, I bet that after this guy enters the NBA, the team's box office will plummet! Haha!"
…
But then Li Kaiming told these guys to shut up, because this time after Williams' shot missed the basket, he looked at the landing point of the ball, rushed up, and rode Andrew Smith to dunk the ball in !
Seeing Smith being knocked several steps away by Li Kaiming, the entire arena fell into a deathly silence!
The home fans of Butler University obviously didn't realize how violent the guy in front of them was playing, so they said such words without shame.
So they paid a price for this, but the price was borne by Andrew Smith.
Andrew Smith: Who the hell did I mess with?
