Although Nolan Smith did not foul Li Kaiming, everyone else at Duke also expressed understanding.
This kind of ball can still be smashed in. I'm afraid only those with the physique of animals can do it.
After Li Kaiming made a free throw, Duke served to attack.
Scheer faced Kemp with the ball and continued to call Zubek to cover.
The last time Zubek's dunk was blocked by Li Kaiming, Schell thought it was his own fault and should have just thrown an alley-oop.
In this way, it would be impossible for Li Kaiming to go back and defend against the ball that must be scored.
In his opinion, the last ball was just bad luck. As long as he grasped the distance this time, he would not give Li Kaiming a chance to successfully defend again.
Zubek's cover was very solid, and Kemp tried his best not to squeeze out of the gap between Zubek and Scheer.
After the screen, Zubek moved inside while blocking Kemp.
Li Kaiming stood in the penalty area and looked at the actions of these two guys with some disapproval.
Schell's attack range was still very wide, and he had to move up a few steps to prevent Schell from using the space to throw.
Scheer felt that time was almost up and immediately threw the ball towards the basket!
Zubek, who cut into the basket and was waiting for food, immediately jumped with both feet, controlled the basketball in the air, and then dunked toward the basket.
Kemp had already rushed into the penalty area when Scheer passed the ball.
Li Kaiming turned around in an instant. The distance in the penalty area seemed a bit short compared to his speed. He took off directly in just one step, and then used a spicy hot pot to end Zubek's dunk again!
Lucas Oil Stadium erupted in exclamations again!
This yellow-skinned boy has delivered wonderful offense and defense for two consecutive rounds!
After this block, the rebound was obtained by Witherpoons on the other side.
And after Li Kaiming blocked the shot, he ejected directly to start again. He passed five levels and killed six generals by himself, going from the backcourt to the frontcourt in just over two seconds!
After the last round, Duke University was already mentally prepared.
But they still underestimated Li Kaiming's speed.
When Li Kaiming rushed to the three-point line in the frontcourt, Duke University's interception rope had just been formed. Before the other four people except Zubek could react, Li Kaiming directly broke through the defense line!
Kemp once again sent a wonderful pass. After receiving the ball, Li Kaiming took off and swung his arms, giving the audience a full-scale one-armed windmill!
boom!
Listening to the sound of the basket hitting Li Kaiming's hand, many spectators couldn't help but shrink their necks and secretly prayed for the basket on this side.
If this continues, the basket here will almost be buckled!
Coach K on the sidelines was almost pissed off!
"FXXK, how did you defend? You are so slow to retreat! Next time you take action, just return to defense. Don't hesitate for a second!"
The Duke players lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word, but only they knew the pain in their hearts.
Coach, it’s not that we didn’t guard carefully, it’s just that this guy is too fast, even if he gets a foul, he won’t be able to stop him...
In the last round, after Li Kaiming was pulled by Smith, his speed didn't even slow down, but instead he got a foul.
This left Duke players with lingering fears.
Less than three minutes into the game, Li Kaiming had already scored 7 points with a 100% shooting rate, single-handedly tying the entire Duke University team!
Although Coach K was angry, he was still as steady as a mountain. With his experience, he had never seen any situation before and there was no need to call a timeout.
Duke University continued to attack. This time, Schell learned wisely and did not challenge Li Kaiming with a head-on attack. Instead, he extended his claws to the soft persimmon Daniel Mack of the University of Memphis.
Daniel Mack is undoubtedly the weakest defensive player among Memphis' starters.
The body is thin and the speed is not fast, so it is easy for the opponent to use it as a breakthrough point.
Although his defense is actually not that bad, at least it is at the middle level in the NCAA.
But on the highest platform, the March Madness Championship, his middling defense seemed a bit inadequate.
Whether a team's defense is strong or not depends on whether it can use tactics to hide its weakest point.
If the shortcomings are being chased and exploited, it will be of no use no matter how strong the team's defense is in other positions.
This is the barrel effect.
The pick-and-roll between Schell and small forward Kyle Singler was a bit difficult for Memphis to deal with.
Schell and Singler, who play pick-and-roll tactics, are both capable inside and outside, and have superb shooting skills. There is no way to let go of a certain position.
The cover given by Singler was also very solid, and Daniel Mack had to face Schell.
Kemp versus Singler also created a small mismatch.
In this way, Duke will have a richer set of tactics.
Schell faced Daniel Mack, and with a few shakes, the latter was deceived out of his correct defensive position. Schell burst in, faced the defense and threw the ball to the outside, and it was Smith who received the ball.
Williams, who was covering up, immediately went back, and Kemp, who was guarding Singler, also made up for it at the same time. Smith moved the ball to the bottom corner and found Singler, who was temporarily open.
Singler caught the ball and hit!
11:10!
Duke's outside touch is extremely hot!
With Duke's lineup, they are not afraid of anyone playing against them!
Li Kaiming finally had the opportunity to serve from the baseline, and this time the Duke players learned a lesson and arranged a combination of two forwards and a center in the direction of Li Kaiming's movement.
Such a violent speed bump would give James a headache even when he comes.
The backcourt serves, and Duke is on defense, so there is definitely no chance for a fast break, so we can only slowly grind out the positional battle.
Kemp once again transformed into the dealer at the top of the arc, while Li Kaiming, as the center, ran around to provide cover for his teammates.
This time it was Witherpoons in the bottom corner who had a chance. He caught the ball and shot, but it ended in a blackout.
Zubek protected the rebound and gave the ball to Schell. Schell rushed forward with the ball and suddenly passed the ball to Singler who ran outside the 45-degree three-point line. Singler tonight He has a hot touch. After getting the ball, he doesn't even care if there is a defender in front of him, he just picks it up and throws it!
Daniel Mack actually defended the ball very well, but Singler was one step ahead and stopped Memphis with a chasing three-pointer!
The opponent's most accurate outside shooter had already scored 9 points on 3-of-3 three-pointers before the game had even lasted five minutes. This was absolutely unacceptable to Pastner!
Long before the game, he set the tone for the game for the University of Memphis players. Duke can score goals, but they must not miss three-pointers!
West Virginia University was beaten to death by Duke University in the last game without even making a splash. Pastner naturally didn't want to follow in West Virginia's footsteps!
Returning to the bench, Pastner directly chose to replace Daniel Mack and bring in Coleman.
Although Daniel Mack is a very important outside space point, his negative impact on the defensive end has outweighed his positive impact on the offensive end at this time.
Considering that Daniel Mack's mental quality was not very good, and his hand quality was not good today, Pastner immediately took it and replaced him with Coleman, who had explosive physical fitness.
After returning from the game, Duke also made a rotation, taking out center Zubek and replacing him with substitute Miles Plumlee.
