The competition was indeed as Li Ke expected, and it was going smoothly.

First, Xiao Du kept scoring. He successfully entered double-digit numbers just over 6 minutes into the game, scoring as many as 11 points.

Second, Li Ke's move to replace Mario Chamos in defense achieved miraculous results.

In the previous match between the two teams, Li Ke faced against Brandon Rush.

As a result, Rush played too reasonably and did not take action without a chance, so he handed over the ball to his teammates.

If you play like this, you won't hurt the team.

As long as the teammates are normal, the team will not have any trouble.

This time Li Ke changed to guard Moss, but Chamos was not so reasonable. Li Ke guarded him. He did not care whether he had the opportunity or not, and he would shoot as long as he should, and he would not care whether he entered or not.

Or, Chamos simply believed that he could make an incoming every time he made a move, and occasionally he didn't make an incoming time, that would mean bad luck.

Anyway, this is a pitcher who is not afraid of the world, and it is considered a weird thing in Kansas.

In 2008, Chamos made an indelible contribution to Kansas being able to defeat the University of Memphis led by Derek Ross to win the championship.

He scored a tied three-pointer in that game, dragging the game into overtime. Only with the fierce battle in overtime did Kansas win the NCAA championship.

Chamos took it for granted that he became the MOP in the semi-finals.

Of course, Li Ke appeared. Perhaps, his little butterfly would wipe out all this from Chamos.

After halftime, Chamos made a 3-of-10 shot and scored three goals, which didn't look that bad.

But if you compare the scoring efficiency of the University of Texas-

Xiao Du made 8 of 13 shots in the first half, scoring 20 points, Li Ke made 4 of 7 shots, and the score happened to be in double digits. Even Augustine made 4 of 8 shots in this game and scored 11 points...

With the three players scoring in double digits at halftime, Texas led Kansas by up to 12 points.

Kansas' pace is already slow, and the 12 points behind in the first half is equivalent to a 20-point fall.

"After halftime, the University of Texas has locked in the game."

Shannon Sharp was very sure, and Maricarillo agreed. Even the magician Johnson, who joined temporarily and always sang opposite them, did not think that Kansas had a chance to turn the tables.

In the second half, Bill Self began to take a desperate bet.

"Kansas is on Sasha Cowan, the junior center, from Russia, 6-foot-11, and weighs 250 pounds..."

Shannon Sharp introduced the substitution for Kansas, then frowned: "What do Bill Self want to do when you change to Sasha Cowan at this time?"

"Bill Self is going to change his strategy." Maricarillo had obviously guessed what Bill Self is thinking:

"As we all know, the University of Texas is top-heavy this season, outstanding on the outside, but extremely weak on the inside. Even hopeless NBA centers like Longa Longa can rage the German penalty area."

"Sasha Cowan was still the main player of Kansas last season. The draft market once entered the middle of the second round. If it weren't for injury in the new season, he would not have lost his main position. In the case of being completely healthy, his strength should be higher than Longa Ronga."

According to Carillo's guess, Magic Johnson also interjected:

"So, in the second half, Kansas will focus on the inside..."

In the second half, Li Ke appeared and found that he could no longer find Chamos.

Kansas's main control became Sheron Collins, Rush took the second position, and Julian Wright was also mentioned to the third position...

This time, Li Ke rushed to Rush without reminding him.

The game started over, as Maricarillo said, Kansas changed its style of play, they pulled the formation very wide, leaving enough space for the inside.

Xie Long Collins, who was in possession of the ball, found the right time and passed the ball in.

Darrell Arthur, who received the ball, singled out Du, scored 2 points in a small throw, which seemed to be a good start for Kansas.

Rick Barnes is not a slow-responsive coach. When Cowan came on the court, he already had the same reaction as Carillo.

But he did not make adjustments directly, but wanted to observe one or two rounds.

Now, after the first round, he began to command the team: "The next defensive round, shrink the defense line!"

Since you want to play the inside line, I will shrink my defense line.

This is a fixed response routine, nothing special.

During Texas' offense, Li Ke scored a free cut and got the two points back for the team.

But then, De Da shrinks the inside line.

Kansas made an inside pass and Abrams took the ball too hard, and Julian Wright scored a three-pointer.

On the sidelines, Rick Barnes shook his head: "No, I have to transfer back."

In the next defensive round, Texas' defense was transferred back.

But Kansas began to explode-

Darrell Arthur scored another 2 points in a single shot. The NCAA's Xiao Du was just as defensive, and his thin body was naturally hard to resist when defending the No. 4 position.

And when Texas moved the center of defense, Sasha Cowan broke out immediately.

When Kansas handed the ball to Sasha Cowan, he kept playing with the incompetent Connor Archile in the inside.

With 6 points in a row, Kansas scored a climax of chasing points.

"Sasha Cowan scored his third consecutive goal, Kansas scored an 11:6 goal chasing pace in four minutes, and they were only 6 points behind."

If the 12-point trailing at the end of the half was enough to sentence Kansas to death, then at the beginning of the second half, Kansas, who had been chasing 6 points in a row, had already regained the situation.

It’s not that Kansas is leading the way, they are still 6 points behind, but the situation has reversed and the one that needs to be adjusted has become the University of Texas.

"Now, Rick Barnes needs to think about how they can solve the Twin Towers in Kansas."

Rick Barnes called a timeout, holding a tactical board with frowns.

While the trio in the commentary seat was still struggling with Kansas' offense, Rick Barnes had already thought of the follow-up.

"Now, it's not just the two-tower offenses that threaten us. After the timeout, Kansas will definitely strengthen its joint defense. They now have the inside line to rely on..."

Turning back, he returned to the starting point: "But the first thing we need to solve is Sasha Cowan's attack."

Texas's defensive focus will be on Arthur's side, so Arthur is not worth worrying. The problem now is that no one in Texas can single-proof Sasha Cowan.

Rick Barnes glanced at Dexter Pittman on the bench.

Pittman is the 51st high school student in the United States this year. He was originally supposed to be one of the introductions to the Longhorn Heavyweight.

He is indeed heavy, but he is only weight.

Pittman, who just arrived, weighed as high as 366 pounds. The first task given to him by the team's physical coach Todd Wright is to lose weight.

In the words of the coaching staff, if you don’t lose weight, Pittman can only play six or seven minutes per game.

But obviously, weight loss is a long time, and at least this season, Pittman can't count on it.

This is how the so-called "De Da" insider is weak.

After hesitating for a moment, Rick Barnes shook his head and decided to find a way from the offensive end.

When he turned his head, he found that Li Ke was holding his hand up.
