"Maybe Kevin Durant never thought that Charles Thomas, who was slow to be tall, could stop him from scoring, but he absolutely did not expect that Patrick Beverly would stand up and cooperate with Charles Thomas to make Durant now unbearable..."

"One fast and one slow, one big and one small, the Boars stocked up on defense, focusing on limiting Kevin Durant's score. Judging from the three-minute start of the game, they have succeeded."

On the court, Patrick Beverly pointed at Xiao Du with an ugly face: "I said, kd, I will make you regret it!"

The score is tied 4 to 4. It is too early to say that it is unpopular or not unpopular at this time.

But the Wild Boars' strategy has been successful, and the Longhorns are playing very hard now.

As long as Xiao Du gets the ball, he will inevitably be blocked. Beverly is like a mad dog and does not hesitate to his energy at all.

Beverly's defense against Abrams was in a bad state in this game. Even if his opponent always let him go, he missed two goals.

Of course, both opponents of the ball have made up for defense, but the defensive pressure is not that great.

Facing the under-pressed counterattack, he lost two goals, Abrams' performance was unqualified.

Off the field, Rick Barnes was already substituting, and Damien James stood up from the bench.

"The University of Texas decided to use the opponent's defensive strategy to fight. At this time, Damien James should be counting on him to take over the game..."

Standing in front of the technical stand, Damien James heard the discussion behind him.

He wanted to turn around and tell this group of random speculation commentators: No!

Rick Barnes replaced him, just letting him take over Li Ke's original offensive task, cut the score at a free cut, and restrained the defense...

As for the task of taking over the game, Rick Barnes handed it over to Li Ke.

With a beep, Xiao Du made a defensive foul on the field and entered a dead ball.

The timer beeps, and the Longhorns completed the substitution. Damien James slammed the substituted Abrams, stepped into the court, and raised eight fingers toward the other four teammates on the court:

"Next, the 35th tactic is the next one!"

Li Ke thought for a second, then became excited.

The Longhorns' No. 35 tactics have been included in the Longhorns' tactical library since Li Ke showed his talent for mid-range shots when he was training in the team, but they have never had any record of using them.

In this game, under the extremely extreme defensive strategy of the Wild Boars, Xiao Du was difficult to play, so Rick Barnes decided to use this tactic.

"Kevin, serve!"

Xiao Du went to serve with a smile. Although he would be stolen by Li Ke in the next game, if he could win this game more easily, he would be willing to be stolen by Li Ke.

"After the substitution, the Longhorn serves on the sideline..."

Xiao Du handed the ball to Damien James, then entered the court, took the basketball again, and started the singles.

On the other side of the top of the arc, Li Ke also started running without a ball.

Xiao Du attracted all the defense on one stadium, while a large number of space appeared on the other stadium.

When Li Ke came by Connor Archile's cover, he rushed over, and Xiao Du's pass also arrived immediately...

"Sheldon received a pass from Kevin Durant, and the mid-range shot was not affected by much interference..."

Swish!

The basketball undoubtedly got into the basket.

"The ball went in, 6-4, and the University of Texas took the lead."

It is actually a bit worth mentioning just a 2-point lead, but Shannon Sharp saw the changes in the University of Texas from the offense in this round.

"The Longhorns used Kevin Durant to attract defense, but their real offensive core was Sheldon..."

He seemed to have forgotten that when DeU replaced him just now, he still swears to predict that DeU's new core would be Damien James.

Poor Damien James, from the start of his appearance, has been just a tool to attract defense.

Fortunately, as a tool guy, his tasks were completed well.

Sony Wilms has been silent for several rounds in the offense of the University of Arkansas.

Fortunately, my teammates performed well and the score was seized.

It seems that Sony Wilms doesn't have to rush to stand up and score.

But helpless, Li Ke he faced today was different-

"I said, Sony, in this game, your score will not be double-digit..."

He once again faced Sony Wilms on the defensive end, and Li Ke repeated this sentence again.

Then, he added: "Of course, you can ignore my provocation, but you must admit that I did it. Until now, you have not earned even a single point..."

It's unbearable, Sony Wilms strongly wants to pass the ball.

Then, he collapsed again in the middle way.

"Sony Wilms broke through with the ball and was blocked by Sheldon, so he had to choose to pass the ball."

In the end, Beverly scored a three-pointer.

Bang!

Xiao Du took the rebound and moved forward carefully.

When he arrived at the frontcourt, he asked for a cover, and then encountered multiple defenses.

On the weak side, Li Ke once again leaned against his running position and threw away Sony Wilms.

He received the pass from Xiao Du, stopped urgently, and jumped up and pushed the basketball out.

After Xiao Du's training last time, Li Ke's mid-range shot was not that high, and it looked much smoother.

And with almost no defensive interference from the opponent, Li Ke hit this mid-range shot again.

Swish!

"The ball is in, 8-4, the score is opening..."

The University of Arkansas serves in the backcourt and Beverly advances to the frontcourt.

Li Ke continued to play against Wilms, and he continued to mock: "Sony, I really didn't expect that you didn't even have the courage to attack me once..."

Sony Wilms had already clenched his fists. Indeed, at this stage of the game, he didn't even make a single move, and the fight was too reasonable.

I still strongly wanted to pass the ball and then play singles.

Li Ke still didn't give a single chance. This time, Sony Wilms turned his back and made a very brainless backward jump shot.

Bang!

There was no suspense, the ball smashed a heavy iron and the rebound was grabbed by Connor Archile, who was successfully stuck.

The counterattack of De Da is still the same way of playing.

Xiao Du attracted the defense and divided the ball.

Sony Wilms's follower defense became extremely tight until he was blocked by toolman Damien James when he was blocked by a step inside the three-point line of the sideline.

After throwing away the defender, Li Ke appeared outside the three-point line. He received the pass, jumped up, and slowly pushed the ball out.

"This is a three-pointer!"

Swish!

"I'm in again, Sheldon, he suddenly started to have all firepower! When Kevin Durant was locked, Sheldon was always standing up!"

With two consecutive mid-range shots and this three-pointer, Li Ke has hit three consecutive goals and scored 7 points in a row.

The touch was instantly hot and he celebrating with Xiao Du.

"Give me some of your touch!" Xiao Du joked.

At this time, the head coach of the Wild Boars Stan Hays finally couldn't stand it: "Patrick, can you defend well!"

Hearing this roar, Li Ke suddenly realized:

It turned out that the Boars' radical defensive strategy was not Stanhause's idea, but Patrick Beverly's own decision.

It was also at this time, far away in Indianapolis, Larry Bird's office.

"Does he just catches the ball and shoot?"

Facing Bird's questions, Joe Henson nodded, and then he found that Bird shook his head.

He asked strangely: "Why, Larry, is there any problem with just taking the ball and shooting?"

"Of course, this means he has no ability to hold the ball, and if he does not hold the ball, it means he does not have the potential to become a star player. Which star player have you seen who has no ball at all?"

Joe Henson would like to give an example to refute Larry Bird, but it seems that there is indeed no star player who has no ability to hold the ball at all.

Even Richard Hamilton, who is recognized as the number one without the ball, has the ability to break through with the ball.

So, Joe Henson thought of refuting from another perspective: "Three months ago, this guy never took three-pointers and mid-range shots, and just now, he made two mid-range shots and one three-pointer, scoring 7 points in a row!"

"I understand what you mean, Joe, you mean, he's been growing, so in the future, he might be able to practice holding the ball?" Larry Bird laughed, "But what I want to say is, what if he had three-pointers and mid-range shots in the first place?"

Joe Henson's pupils shrank, as if he had thought of something.

Larry Bird continues: "We are not unaware of such players. They always hide some of their strength at the beginning of the season, and then take out seemingly new weapons from their arsenal one by one, giving people a feeling that his progress is too fast, but the reality is not the case..."

"Of course, I'm not saying that Sheldon Lee must be such a player, but we have to consider the possibility of this happening."

"So, using the draft pick we have determined to be at the end of the lottery, may not be a good choice, and we still need to consider it."
