The rest of the people in Memphis saw anxious looks on their faces when they saw Li Kaiming choosing to shoot directly from outside the three-point line!
My teammates are going crazy. How to solve the problem? It’s very urgent to wait online!
However, the ball thrown is like the water thrown out, which can never be taken back.
So I could only watch the basketball fly towards the basket.
Under the basket, Witherpoons, Williams and others rushed from the bottom corner, and they had already started an anxious physical confrontation with the Butler University players to get the best position to grab the rebound.
But Butler University has a tall insider like Andrew Smith guarding the penalty area. How could Witherpoons and Williams steal the former? They tried their best and did not let Andrew Smith leave the basket an inch.
Instead, the latter pushed his butt lightly, and Witherpoons and Williams were bounced away from the basket.
After the battle to decide the winner, Li Kaiming's unconventional three-pointer also flew to the top of the basket, and then plunged into the basket under the astonished eyes of a group of people under the basket!
70:71!
Memphis has only 1 point left to catch up!
If there were special effects, a crow would have flown over the commentary box at this time, leaving behind a string of ellipses.
Koslov was slapped in the face so many times by Li Kaiming in this game that he was beaten to the point of being autistic.
Sharp on the side coughed awkwardly, and then said, "Li Kaiming's touch was very good tonight, but what we evaluate is his choice. As an insider, facing outside players who are a head shorter than himself, what is the best plan?" It must be hitting inward!”
Sharp's evaluation is actually very fair, but tonight common sense met Li Kaiming who didn't play according to common sense.
Koslov gritted his teeth and said, "Tonight, God favored this guy so much that he could score even though he was playing so hard? Why would God allow such a person to enter the basketball field? This is simply a stain on basketball!"
Black lines flashed across the faces of Sharp and Matt Bullard on the side...
As a commentator, your butt is a bit crooked...
Beside the bench at Butler University, Stevens's face no longer looked calm at the beginning.
Although he still maintained a calm gaze, his frown showed that the current situation seemed to be somewhat out of his control.
The confident Stevens may not have expected that at this point in the game, both sides would become more and more anxious!
I don’t know why, but the Chinese boy opposite me not only felt hot tonight, but also had extremely strong physical strength. It was clear that the fatigue was visible on his face during the Midwestern finals. Why did he come to the national semifinals where the intensity was stronger? In the final, this guy felt more relaxed?
Stevens couldn't figure it out.
The game on the court is still going on, and Butler University still chooses to believe in Hayward at critical moments. After all, he is the reason why Butler University can always lead tonight.
Besides, it's now this time. If you don't give the ball to your best player, will you give it to role players?
Star players are born for this moment.
In order to save energy, Hayward once again chose to receive the ball from inside the three-point line to initiate the attack.
But this time after he got the ball inside the three-point line, he hit it hard and found that Williams behind him was not moving at all!
Hayward was a little surprised!
what's the situation? Is it possible that Williams went to the gym to gain muscle after just one round?
As a result, he looked back and saw that the person blocking him behind him had suddenly changed from Williams to Witherpoons!
It turned out that when Hayward was running inside to gain position, Li Kaiming winked at Williams and Witherpoons. After more than a month of training and competition, Li Kaiming and the two men's cooperation It can be said that there is a tacit understanding.
With just one look, Williams and Witherpoons changed positions, allowing Witherpoons to guard Hayward in the paint.
Now Hayward has no way to use his height to bully Williams, because Witherpoons, who is facing him, is not only taller than him, but also heavier than him. The idea of using his back to bully the mismatch is completely in vain!
But the players at Butler University are also very well coordinated. Since Hayward is not in position, then Matt Howard must be out of position.
Williams used the 2 position to defend Howard at the 4 position, creating a larger mismatch than defending Hayward.
It's just that Howard is outside the three-point line at this time.
So Hayward immediately passed the ball to Howard, and then pulled Witherpoons out to clear the inside space for Howard.
The miserable Williams once again faced a mismatch, and Howard was not polite at all. After getting the ball, he started to turn his back.
He suddenly arched from outside the three-point line to near the penalty area.
Feeling that the distance was almost there, Howard turned around, faced Williams' defense, and shot a fadeaway jumper.
Howard was already taller than Williams, and the shot was at a slightly backward angle. Now Williams could only watch the former shoot and pray in his heart that the ball would not go in.
It seemed that Williams' prayer worked. Howard's jump shot hit the front of the basket and was collected by Li Kaiming under the basket.
Originally, Andrew Smith wanted to challenge him and grab a frontcourt board from Li Kaiming. Unfortunately, although his strength level is better, Li Kaiming's wingspan and reach are obviously stronger than him, plus [rebounder crazy] With the bonus of the badge, Andrew Smith had to return in frustration.
With less than two minutes left before the end of the game, the audience once again began to cheer in unison to help Butler University's defense.
This time, Andrew Smith learned his lesson wisely. He followed Li Kaiming wherever he went, leaving no room for the latter at all.
Hayward and Howard are also eyeing it. As long as Li Kaiming gets the ball, the two of them will pounce on him instantly, whether Li Kaiming is on the outside or inside.
Under this defensive strategy, there is enough space left for other Memphis players.
Williams once again received the ball through running. This time he took advantage of Butler University to focus on Li Kaiming and dribbled directly into the penalty area!
Without Andrew Smith's frame protection, Leandeker couldn't stop the speeding Williams. Not only was the ball scored by the latter, but Leandeker was also fouled!
Memphis overtakes!
Stevens couldn't bear it anymore and dropped the tactical board in his hand with a bang!
He didn't believe how he could lose to Pastner!
The audience on the field was already a little discouraged. For several rounds in a row, Butler University failed to defend even a single goal from Memphis.
The team that claims to be the strongest defensive team in the entire NCAA was actually beaten and looked defenseless!
Faced with the boos of tens of thousands of people, Williams took a few seconds to calm down at the free throw line and made a solid free throw!
73:71!
The initiative has come to Memphis!
Hayward's eyes were already red. This time he shouted directly to Andrew Smith who was serving from the baseline, "Give me the ball!"
At such a moment, as the team leader, he naturally has to stand up!
And this time, he chose to beat Li Kaiming again.
Because Li Kaiming missed none of his shots in the past five minutes, he is Memphis' arrowhead.
As long as they can hit the ball under Li Kaiming's defense, it will greatly boost the team's morale. Coupled with the home court advantage, the balance of victory will once again tip to Butler University!
