Hayward's idea is very good, Hahn's screen quality is also very high, and Kemp also successfully faced Hayward.
But when Hayward hit Kemp from the outside and hit the inside, just as he was about to take action, Li Kaiming suddenly rushed over.
Seeing Li Kaiming's vicious look, even Hayward, who had experienced many battles, was a little frightened.
But despite being frightened, he still made the best choice in an instant.
Li Kaiming made the save, and the inside line must have been empty, so Hayward passed the ball to the ground and passed it directly into the hands of Andrew Smith at the bottom of the basket.
After Smith received the ball, he looked at the empty basket. He originally thought it was a must-goal. He was just about to jump up and dunk with two hands when suddenly a tall figure rushed out from his side.
Who else could it be if it wasn’t Li Kaiming?
Li Kaiming rushed the ball to the neck of the basket before Smith dunked!
Smith's movements are too slow. In front of Li Kaiming, who has NBA-level speed, his layup speed is like a slow-motion movie.
After a big block was not enough, Li Kaiming immediately jumped up and grabbed the rebound.
As for Andrew Smith, he is still lying on the ground at this time!
Li Kaiming, who got the ball, immediately passed it to Williams who was about to leave.
After Williams switched to guard the opposite point guard, he stayed on the outside. Seeing Li Kaiming get the rebound, he used all his strength to run toward the half court behind him.
Zach Hahn's physical fitness is not at the same level as Williams'. The moment the two started at the same time, he was pulled away by Williams.
When Williams received the ball, Hahn could only follow the former from a distance and eat dust.
After Williams got the ball, he went 1-on-0 in the frontcourt and easily dunked in with one hand!
53:59!
Stevens remained unmoved, keeping his eyes on the situation on the court.
Butler's mistake was quickly made up for in the next round.
Hayward held the ball and called a pick-and-roll. Facing Li Kaiming's defense, Hayward suddenly made a side step-back jumper.
Li Kaiming's perimeter defensive attributes are too poor, especially his lateral speed, and there is no difference between him and the opposite big center Andrew Smith.
So he could only watch as Hayward stepped back and made a three-pointer.
Seeing Hayward single out Li Kaiming and score, Koslov in the commentary box was even happier than the Butler fans at the scene.
"Wow, Hayward hit a beautiful step-back jumper. Li Kaiming seemed to have no way to defend him!"
The two Sharps on the side also nodded in agreement. After Hayward retreated, there was almost no defense in front of him. Li Kaiming's outside defense seemed to be unexpectedly poor.
On the bench of Butler University, the corners of Stevens' mouth slightly raised. With his sharp eyes, he could naturally tell where Li Kaiming's destiny was.
In the previous regular time, you don't need to target Li Kaiming, but at the critical moment of the game, Li Kaiming's weakness will become the key to determining victory or defeat!
Although Pastner was a little surprised, he was not panicked.
As Li Kaiming's coach, he naturally knows the latter's strengths and weaknesses.
The role of a coach is to help his players hide their weaknesses and bring out their strengths, otherwise what's the point of having a coach.
Pastner immediately made a gesture to the players on the court, meaning that next time Hayward wants to call a pick-and-roll against Li Kaiming, he will use delay tactics.
The time at this time has reached 4 minutes and 50 seconds, within 5 minutes!
With 5 minutes left in the game, Li Kaiming, who was serving from the baseline, felt a stream of heat flow through his arms and then stay on his hands.
The arrival of this heat flow made his hands swell slightly, and his perception of the ball also increased a lot.
Li Kaiming, who was still running, shook his hand gently and felt the wonderful feeling coming from his hand. He was both curious and shocked.
Is this the effect of the [Key Shooter] badge?
After Memphis served, Kemp dribbled to the frontcourt and directed Li Kaiming to pick and roll according to tactics.
Li Kaiming ran to the top of the arc, exchanged hands with Kemp and then received the ball.
Kemp took advantage of Li Kaiming's cover and suddenly changed direction and ran back, running from Li Kaiming's right side to the left side.
At this time, according to the tactical design, Li Kaiming should hand the golfer to Kemp and then take the ball himself.
But when Li Kaiming got the ball, he felt the touch of the surface of the basketball on the inside of his palm, and an unbearable desire to take action arose in his heart!
He glanced up at his opponent, Andrew Smith, and found that the latter was standing one step away from him. At the same time, all his attention was on Kemp, who was still running around Li Kaiming. He only used it occasionally. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Li Kaiming's activities.
Seeing the look in Li Kaiming's eyes, Andrew Smith was a little confused. Why, you still want to shoot. Even if you shoot from this distance, I can interfere with it!
Stevens' coaching team conducted an all-round investigation of Li Kaiming, and of course they discovered that Li Kaiming's three-pointer can only be regarded as a response to a short shot, and the hit rate cannot be guaranteed under interference.
That's why Andrew Smith let Li Kaiming go, and then focused most of his attention on point guard Kemp.
At this time, Kemp has already run to Li Kaiming's left side. Logically speaking, he can receive the ball and continue to play according to the tactics.
Kemp looked at the ball in front of him, stretched out his hands and was about to catch it, when the huge basketball suddenly disappeared from his eyes!
Damn it! Where is my ball?
Kemp almost shouted these words!
At the same time, Pastner’s expression suddenly changed on the sidelines!
Li Kaiming suddenly took the ball back, shook Kemp, then raised the ball, aimed at the basket, and shot a three-pointer!
Pastner's mouth was open enough to fit two eggs!
Damn it, don’t!
Kemp was stunned on the spot.
Who am I, where am I, what should I do next?
Andrew Smith, who was guarding Li Kaiming, did not expect that Li Kaiming, who had handed the ball halfway, would suddenly take the ball and shoot. By the time he reacted and stretched out his long arms to block the ball, the basketball had already flown out of Li Kaiming's fingertips!
Seeing Li Kaiming's unexpected three-point shot, Koslov immediately criticized, "This ball was not chosen well..."
Before he finished speaking, a crisp sound of brushing the net rang out at Lucas Oil Stadium!
56:62!
answer ball!
As soon as Pastner said "fuck", his jaw was shocked by the goal, and then he said with trembling lips, "Okay, good goal!"
In the commentary box, Sharp and Matt Howard looked at each other and smiled, and then Howard said, "Looking at the expressions of the people on the court, no one expected that Li Kaiming's three-pointer could score! This guy always brings us surprises!"
Kemp's hands for catching the ball were still in mid-air. After seeing the ball go in, he put away his hands in a dignified manner, and then awkwardly said to Li Kaiming, who was looking at him, "Okay, okay..."
