Chapter 12 Xiao Du's Solo Performance
"Another wonderful counter-run, Sheldon Lee tore open the defense line of North Carolina's tar heels!"
Swish!
Li Ke, who received the ball and was unguarded, easily sent the ball into the basket.
After scoring continuously, the University of Texas also scored 6 points in a row. So far, they were only one point behind.
Roy Williams felt the crisis. Since Li Ke came on the court, the University of Texas defense has returned to its rock-solid state in the first half. Taylor Hansblu seemed to have met his nemesis. The former NCAA offensive killer turned into a big sand sculpture, and staying on the court was simply a side effect.
On the defensive end, Li Ke suddenly started his empty cut and had already given North Carolina three consecutive heavy blows.
If you make another move, North Carolina's lead will be gone.
Although, the so-called lead is only a pitiful 1 point.
With 1 point difference, if North Carolina still cannot score in the next round, then it is hard to say who will lead the game until now.
Seeing this, Roy Williams immediately called out a timeout.
"Brendon, in the next game, your position has to be reduced inward..."
In order to deal with Du’s outside shooting, throughout the game, North Carolina’s joint defense formation was based on the outside.
But now, Li Ke's empty space forces North Carolina to shrink its defense.
With this tactical adjustment, North Carolina made another substitution, and Taylor Hansblu was replaced again.
"Taylor Hansblu sat on the bench again, which means that North Carolina has given up and Roy Williams no longer thinks that Taylor Hansblu can get back his due form."
In fact, for North Carolina, if Hansblu stays on the court, it may also be able to restrain Li Ke's defense.
After Hansblu got off the court, Li Ke's single defense was about to threaten other North Carolina players.
But there is no way. Hansblu is an offensive player with average defense. Now that he can't attack and defense, he might as well replace him.
But without Hansblu's restraint, Ray Seanterry was the one who suffered heavy losses.
After the suspension, Li Ke re-faced with Rayshaunterry.
Although Li Ke made some mistakes in defense against Ray Seanterry at the beginning of the second half, Li Ke made some observations intentionally or unintentionally even when he did not match Ray Seanterry in the subsequent game.
He has roughly understood Rayshaunterry's style characteristics, and what he does on the defensive end is to be free of water.
For North Carolina, they need to score in a desperate situation.
However, facing the University of Texas's new defense, the joint defense is not airtight, and the single defense is also not wrong.
North Carolina, which could not find the opportunity, took a full 30 seconds of offensive time. In the end, Wayne Ellington smashed the frame with a heavy iron.
Connor Archile roared and grabbed the rebound.
Back on the offensive end, North Carolina really shrank its defense, but Li Ke's empty cut was still extremely threatening. In just a few moves, North Carolina's joint defense formation was upside down.
Xiao Du from the outside quickly found a chance and hit a three-pointer that was almost undisturbed.
"kd, three-pointer hit!"
"University of Texas beat the score!"
At this time, there were only more than 2 minutes left before the game ended.
North Carolina's offense was still very struggling, Tylawson's breakthrough was blocked, and he made a mid-range shot in the middle, smashed the frame with a bang, but failed to enter.
Xiao Du grabbed the rebound and immediately made a counterattack. During the counterattack, he made another emergency stop and jumped to score 2 points.
It seems that Roy Williams' adjustment to Li Ke actually gave Xiao Du plenty of room.
Xiao Du scored 5 points in a row and took off in one go.
"Lost..."
On the court, Du scored another three-pointer, which was already the momentum of 8 points in a row.
Roy Williams shook his head, he knew very well that the victory of this game had already said goodbye to him.
There is only one thing that can’t let Xiao Du continue to score like this anymore, he has to think of a way.
I swept the five-man on the field and found nothing.
Then he swept the field again, Danny Green?
"Maybe he is the only one."
In this way, Danny Green, who was no longer worthy of attention in the new season, was replaced by Roy Williams when North Carolina lost to the court.
As soon as Danny Green came on the court, Du's shot hit hard.
It’s not that Xiao Du didn’t make the bid correctly, but Danny Green used his right hand to seal Xiao Du’s face tightly.
Such defense made Roy Williams's eyes lit up from the field.
But then, after Du Yi understood Danny Green's defensive characteristics, he immediately leaned on his long arm and scored another goal.
"Score another 2 points, Kevin Durant's NCAA debut has already scored 31 points, oh, buy it! Is this the talent of the second-person high school talent? I am already looking forward to the Ohio State game against UCL tomorrow."
Off the field, Roy Williams shook his head.
Danny Green only defended himself for one round, and then he was beaten by Xiao Du again, but this is not the fault of Danny Green. After all, Danny Green is only 1.98 meters tall. It is really a bit difficult for him to let him defend Xiao Du, who is really tall as 2.13 meters tall.
Thinking of this, his eyes were on Li Ke.
At this moment, he was a little jealous of Li Ke.
The last two minutes of the game was considered a performance by Xiao Du alone. He scored various singles and his personal scores rose to 37 points.
The game was also declared over a roar of the timer.
86:71, the University of Texas-Austin President Horns defeated the popular University of North Carolina away amid the calls for unpopularity before the game.
As soon as the game ended, the exhausted Li Ke and Xiao Du hit the palm.
Then, Xiao Du went to find Tylawson opposite him.
Li Ke didn't follow him because he could think of what Xiao Du could say, but he could think of it with his butt, nothing more than: Xiao Tai, it turns out that my choice is the right one.
He stood on the sidelines and searched for Danny Green.
"Hi, Danny, me, Sheldon Lee..."
"I know you, Sheldon, you defended Taylor in this game."
"Haha, what I want to say is that if you don't encounter a KD that is seven feet tall but pretend to be only six feet nine, but you can also defend like me."
The two seemed to be praising each other, but Taylor Hansblu, who was standing beside him, found that he seemed to have a gun.
At the same time, scouts, commentators and media reporters on the sidelines are summarizing the game.
Among them, the summary of the cbs commentary duo is just right.
"Before the game, on paper, North Carolina seemed to have won without a doubt, but at the beginning of the game, two accidents made the University of Texas lose to win."
"The first accident, Sheldon Lee, who had no ranking in high school and no star rating, suddenly defended North Carolina's top card Taylor Hansblu, and in the second half, he scored continuously by cutting through empty cuts."
"The second accident, Kevin Durant, the second man in high school, played a phenomenal personal performance in this game, and scored 37 points in his debut. He seems to be contributing the scoring performance of the greatest big man of NCAA ever..."
The most praises were given to Xiao Du, which was beyond doubt.
He made his debut with 37 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals.
Singles, three-pointers, mid-range shots, breakthroughs, seem to be omnipotent.
In this game, Xiao Du was like an offensive machine, scoring continuously.
