Chapter 11: The Last Step to Flip North Carolina

At the beginning of the second half, North Carolina and the University of Texas changed people.

On the one hand, Taylor Hansblu, who performed poorly in the first half, pressed the bench, and on the other hand, Damien James replaced A.J. Abrams.

Both substitutions did not attract attention. After all, after watching the whole first half, whether it was Hansblu or the Texas defender double-short, it was long time to adjust.

Then, the game started and North Carolina's offensive round.

Li Ke was a little confused when he couldn't see Taylor Hansblu.

Fortunately, Xiao Du reminded him immediately: "Your current opponent is Rayshaunterry!"

So Li Ke rushed to Rayshaunterry quickly.

Li Ke was still a little confused when changing the defense of Rayshointerri, because compared to Hansblu who had studied several nights, his understanding of Rayshointerri was just a few words from the coaching staff before the game, as well as some of Rayshointerri's performance in the first half of the game.

As a result, Li Ke made a mistake in the first round of defense change.

Rayshauntery penetrated from the left side and entered the penalty area. After relied on Alex Stephenson's cover, he suddenly ran away from Li Ke, received a pass from Lawson, and jumped with one step and made a layup.

At the basket, Archieley defended Stephenson first, and then turned around and then made up for Ray Seanterry, he was already a step slower.

Seeing Rayshaunterry scored, the gap in the score widened by 2 points, Archili shouted: "Whose person!?"

Li Ke spread his hands unfairly: "No one told me that this guy is still empty-handed..."

Indeed, throughout the first half, Rayshointerri's style of playing was to catch the ball and shoot the ball from the outside. He was just watching Rayshointerri's three-pointer. He never expected that this guy would cut in the air, and even more unexpectedly, he was thrown away with just one cover.

Looking back at the attack, Li Ke still played soy sauce like in the first half, and occasionally cut a few times, and under the joint defense tactics, it seemed to be no threat.

Augustine and Du picked and rolled the ball and fell into Du's hands. Du directly shot a two-pointer from a long distance, and with a bang, he missed the frame.

Back at the defensive round, Li Ke became careful.

Rayshaunterry has been in NCAA for many years. It is indeed impossible for him to be just an outside shooter. If you cut the space, you are probably just this guy’s most basic scoring method. It would not be surprising if you take out any special offensive method next.

Li Ke stared at Rayshauntery honestly, and finally no more trouble happened.

North Carolina did not score either, but this was not good news for the University of Texas, because they did not score in the subsequent offense.

By the time they scored, North Carolina also scored.

At the beginning of the second half, the University of Texas was like a fixed backwardness, always 7 points.

Rick Barnes also called a timeout during this period, and even changed people. He replaced Augustine and replaced Abrams.

The University of Texas changed people, and the more they changed, Li Ke became more and more uncomfortable.

He hasn't been with Damien James much, so when Damien James comes up, he takes up the space that originally belonged to him, and he is unable to move. Now, the University of Texas' offense is very frustrated, and Li Ke has also added some attempts to cut.

But after fighting like this, the University of Texas' offense became even more chaotic.

Rick Barnes called another timeout and replaced Li Ke.

In North Carolina, Roy Williams immediately took this opportunity to change Taylor Hansbree, who had been sitting off the court for a long time.

After going around, the balance on the court was immediately broken.

Without Li Ke's restrictions, Hansblu, who appeared on the field, only looked for the state in two rounds of offense, and then his firepower was fully activated.

At the University of Texas, after replacing Li Ke, the attack that was gradually taking shape was also leveled by Hansblu's outbreak.

Off the field, looking at Taylor Hansblu who was facing Archieley's defense and asking for help, Li Ke didn't understand it anymore.

"This guy is neither in a bad name nor in a bad state. So why did he beat me so miserably..."

Seeing Hansblu's condition slowly turning red, Rick Barnes couldn't sit still.

Replace Li Ke, attack is urgent, replace Li Ke, defense is urgent.

Can't there be one without any hassle?

The two evils were the least. After thinking about it, Rick Barnes couldn't stand Hansblu's consecutive scoring, as if he was about to take over the game, and he called Li Ke from the bench again.

"Sheldon, it's your turn to get on!"

Li Ke immediately stood up and stood beside Rick Barnes.

"Go up and do the trick Taylor Hansblu like in the first half!"

Although Hansblu scored repeatedly and his condition was very different from the first half, Li Ke was still full of confidence at this moment.

"Don't worry, coach!"

Back on the court, Li Ke faced Taylor Hansblu again.

"Hi."

Li Ke said hello as if he had seen an old friend.

Hansblu curled his lips, as if saying that he is different now.

Immediately afterwards, he started and rushed out two steps.

Tylawson gave the ball over, not to make Hansblu get revenge in the first half, but during this period, Hansblu, who has regained his offensive feeling, has become the core of North Carolina's offensive.

Hansblu received the ball and played a single.

Then, after regaining his confidence, he encountered the same problem as in the first half.

"Taylor Hansblu's frontal breakthrough, Sheldon Lee stood in front of him, like a wall!"

There was nothing he could do, Hansblu had to make a jump shot.

A bang!

Basketball smashed the frame, and Taylor Hansblu felt that the hot touch had abandoned him and left him.

Connor Archile grabbed the rebound, and Rick Barnes shouted on the sidelines: "Give the ball to Kevin!"

Durant received the ball as he wished, but North Carolina was very strict in defense against him.

Damien James, who had no space on the court, started to cut off again when the team was hit by the offense.

In the first half, Li Ke had two experiences of scoring by cutting through empty cuts, and Ray Seanterry, who was defending him, followed closely.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Ray Seanterry, Li Ke thought of the goal that Ray Seanterry threw away at the beginning of the second half.

He circled the penalty area like a copy, and then suddenly turned back.

Rayshaunterry's reaction was slower, and a gap immediately appeared in front of Li Ke. He stretched out his hands and shouted: "kd!kd!"

Durant, who was looking for an opportunity with the ball, found Li Ke.

With a pass, Li Ke received the ball and made a layup!

"Ray Seanterry should think this goal is very familiar. Yes, this is the goal he scored just at the beginning of the first half. Sheldon Lee seemed to have copied the same goal!"

On the court, Li Ke, who scored the goal, and Du, who assisted him, brigades.

The buzzing noise in my mind:

"The level d empty cut has been upgraded to level c..."

The empty cut has been upgraded?

From D to C, Li Ke narrowed his eyes, and he felt that he had found the last step to overturn North Carolina's tar heels!

On the defensive end, Taylor Hansblu still failed to break through Li Ke's defense.

Tylawson completed the offense for the first time, but his throwing shot slightly missed the basket.

Augustine, who was following the defense, won the rebound, and the University of Texas ushered in another opportunity to tie the score. This time, Rick Barnes on the sidelines did not clamor and asked Augustine to give the ball to Du.

The University of Texas' offense seemed to have returned to the first half, and while each performs its duties, Li Ke's empty cut run was smoother.

He rushed straight for a few steps, then suddenly ran back, and then made a 45° turn like a light of inspiration.

Rayshauntery, who was following behind him, felt that his opponent's running suddenly became erratic and sharp. In short, he couldn't keep up.

"It's empty again! This time it's DJ Augustine's pass, Sheldon Lee's throw hit!"

"This is his fifth scoring in this game. Five times were two-pointers, and his scoring suddenly became double-digit!"

"Defense, empty cut score, Sheldon Lee, who suddenly appeared, stood up twice and solved the crisis facing the University of Texas!"

Off the field, Rick Barnes also waved his arms and shouted.

“Beautiful empty cut run!”

Next to him, Russell Spliman seemed to be unable to wait to claim credit for himself: "I said it long ago, Rick, I'll recruit him. Defense is just the foundation, and more importantly, this guy's empty cut, hey, you should see it now, right? This guy is just a top puzzle!"
