After Li Kaiming's big block, the basketball bounced on the backboard and was picked up by Witherpoons who came over from the other side to defend.
It's not polite to reciprocate, Memphis immediately responded with a fast break to Duke University!
Li Kaiming galloped on the right side and reached the three-point line in the frontcourt with three strikes and five divisions.
Kemp dribbled behind him and saw that Li Kaiming had already rushed to his position. He immediately passed the ball and the basketball crossed half the court and flew into Li Kaiming's hands.
Duke University was heavily guarded against Li Kaiming's fast break. The moment the latter caught the ball, two Duke players formed a defensive wall at the edge of the penalty area!
But this is the real physical world, not a game. You can stop whenever you want.
Li Kaiming saw two defenders from Duke University, but at this time he was moving at high speed and could not stop the car in a short time!
So, he could only run into the human wall like an out-of-control tank!
Completing the wall are power forward Lance Thomas and shooting guard Nolan Smith.
These two are the quickest for Duke to return to defense.
The two of them had just stood in the penalty area, and the next second they felt like a train was rushing in front of them. Before Li Kaiming arrived, the strong wind had already hit the faces of Smith and Smith!
Smith was still muttering in his mind that this guy probably wouldn't hit him directly.
But he never expected that at this time, Li Kaiming couldn't stop even if he wanted to!
boom!
Three people bumped into one person and he fell over!
Fortunately for Li Kaiming, he took the initiative and was only bounced back, and then he fell and squatted on his butt!
Because Lance Thomas was heavier and his position was relatively far back, he only slid on the ground for a few meters after being knocked down.
But Nolan Smith was miserable. Not only was he light in weight, he was also the most stressed part of the collision. After colliding with Li Kaiming, he was directly knocked out!
As luck would have it, there were some broadcast equipment on the bottom line. Although these equipment were equipped with anti-collision protection, they couldn't stop Smith from flying too fast!
As a result, the miserable Smith hit the corner of a piece of equipment and passed out!
At the same time, the referee's whistle also sounded, indicating that Li Kaiming committed an offensive foul.
Li Kaiming stretched out his hand obediently. He knew in his heart that this must be a foul.
Just as he was running back, he suddenly heard the referee's whistle!
It turned out that the bottom line referee saw Smith lying there unresponsive and immediately stopped the game urgently!
The on-site logistics medical team immediately intervened and began to examine Smith's body...
"Holy shit, what happened? Smith was knocked unconscious by Li Kaiming?"
"What kind of animal body is this..."
The audience at the scene did not see Smith's condition, but saw him being knocked out by Li Kaiming and then never getting up again.
As a result, discussions started at the same time as online fans.
"What's going on at the scene? I heard that Smith fainted?"
"I was at the scene. Smith wanted to commit an offensive foul on Li Kaiming, but he was knocked unconscious..."
"This is too outrageous. How much impact will it have?"
"This Smith's body is too fragile. If I were to hit Li Kaiming, Li Kaiming would kneel down on the spot and beg me not to die..."
…
Li Kaiming was actually a little uneasy. After adding some strength and speed, he was actually a little uncertain about his physical fitness.
It wasn't until he knocked Smith out that he knew that he was now a bit of a supermodel for NCAA college students...
Within minutes, Smith was carried off.
The on-site commentator explained Smith's condition to the audience, "Smith withdrew from the game because his head hit the broadcast equipment after flying out. The possibility of concussion cannot be ruled out!"
Nolan Smith unexpectedly withdrew from the game, which made Duke University's situation a little worse.
In fact, even without Smith, Duke's lineup is not necessarily worse than Memphis.
But even though there was Smith, Li Kaiming suppressed him. Now that there is no Smith, I am afraid that it is Li Kaiming who has the final say on who will win the championship...
After the emergency timeout, the game continues.
The three outside shooters are without Smith, and the remaining firepower will naturally have to be made up by Sher and Singler.
Coach K did not replace Smith as a substitute, but asked Singler to play the 2 position and let Mason Plumlee and Lance Thomas play forward.
This lineup is more than a little bit larger than the original size.
Schell was responsible for controlling the ball, and Singler started running around the screen to catch the ball.
Lance Thomas is swinging to small forward and can easily use his body to single-handedly pick up Daniel Mack.
Singler's movement took away the help defender near Lance Thomas. Schell passed the ball to the former. Thomas singled out Mike and turned around to score.
70:65!
Kemp held the ball for half the game, and Li Kaiming stepped up to cover. At this time, he had activated the [Key Scorer] badge, and the familiar feeling came from his hands again!
He caught the ball outside the three-point line on the right side, faced Zubek's close defense, raised the ball and made a fake move, shaking Zubek.
Then he batted the ball, took a step to the side, picked it up and threw it away!
With the double blessing of [Key Shooter] and [Buddha's Light], this seemingly difficult ball didn't even touch the basket!
Uh-huh!
73:65!
Zubek covered his face with his hands. He was so nervous that he was shot away by Li Kaiming with a fake move!
But I can't really blame him. In the second half, Li Kaiming faked a shot and even the dogs passing by were fooled into jumping!
Duke served, with more than three minutes left before the end of the game.
Scheer still gave the ball to Thomas in the low post. After Thomas took the ball, he arched his back twice, then suddenly turned around and faced Li Kaiming under the basket for a hard layup!
He still remembers Old K’s teachings to consume Li Kaiming in both offense and defense.
Li Kaiming's defensive badges are almost at full level. With no physical limitations, he easily blocked Thomas' layup!
Get the rebound, pass the ball, go down quickly!
Among the group of people, Li Kaiming was like a supercar in the taxi queue, driving at full speed, passing players one after another!
Finally, one step away from the penalty area in the frontcourt, he took off, received Kemp's long pass in the air, and then dunked it in with both hands!
Another top-ten dunk!
When Old Coach K saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat.
Looking at this situation, Li Kaiming's physical strength seems to be quite sufficient, but the physical strength of the Duke players seems to be unable to hold on...
Duke University's next offense just confirmed what coach K had in mind.
Because after Sher broke into the penalty area, without anyone defending him, his throw was actually short!
He hit the front edge of the basket and almost lost his touch!
Throwing is a compulsory course for academic guards, so there is no possibility that Sher is not able to throw such a ball because of his poor touch.
The ball bounced off and fell right into Li Kaiming's hands!
He passed the ball again and launched a fast break!
The Duke players wanted to defend, but their legs and feet no longer obeyed their command. They wanted to foul and pull the ball down, but Li Kaiming did not hold the ball.
By the time the latter received the ball again, it was too late for the Duke player to foul.
Because their fouls did not stop Li Kaiming's offense at all, but Lance Thomas paid another foul!
Li Kaiming, on the other hand, directly caught the ball, took three big steps, and then performed a one-handed dunk, easily scoring two points!
77:65!
Li Kaiming also imposed additional penalties!
There is one kun minute left in the game (two and a half minutes).
The on-site commentary has already begun to congratulate the University of Memphis.
Coach K, on the other hand, sat down on the bench...
