Faced with a less tight defense, Du made a mid-range shot, helping the Longhorns take the lead.

Immediately afterwards, Nick Young once again made a fuss under Li Ke's defense.

Now, Li Ke was sure that Nick Young was not crazy and his defensive pressure was not that great.

He defended Nick Young's singles one after another. Even the first ball he did not defend, from the perspective of the bystander, Li Ke did not make a mistake, but Nick Young was very lucky to have that ball, so he kept his head in and covered the ball.

Michael Jordan on the sidelines was satisfied with Li Ke's defensive performance: "Superstar, excellent defense is one of the necessary conditions."

He seemed to think of some superstars who started their careers in defense.

Compared to the trade to get an All-Star who is neither up nor down, Jordan still tends to use the draft to directly select the Bobcats' cornerstone of team building.

“It’s not enough…”

Only defense is certainly not enough.

Michael Jordan showed expectations...

In the next offensive round, Li Ke appeared at the bottom corner as usual.

Nick Young's attention was on the strong side of Xiao Du, not just Nick Young, but the five players on the Nanca were not only on the field, except for Gabi Pruitt, who had the ball in hand, the other four people couldn't help but look at the area of ​​Xiao Du.

Li Ke held his knees with both hands and stood at the bottom corner, looking unthreatening.

The distance between Nick Yang and Li Ke was slightly higher than his arm. He stretched his long arms and just pressed against Li Ke.

Li Ke suddenly activated and rushed into the penalty area with a quick step.

But this did not fool Nick Young. Everyone knows that Li Ke is the second scorer of Deda.

The reason why he is No. 2 is not the number one is because Decameron has a pervert who must score high scores in every game.

Such a scorer should be more careful even if he doesn't hold the ball.

Nick Young was already very careful. Li Ke started two steps and then followed.

By the time Li Ke rushed to the area on the left side of the free throw line and stopped, he had already rushed to Li Ke.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ke received the pass and shot straight, and Nick Young also disturbed him with his teeth and claws.

On the sidelines, Rick Barnes began to shake his head.

Judging from experience, Nick Young's interference is very good, and Li Ke's mid-range shot cannot withstand even a slight interference. What's more, Li Ke's shot speed is a little faster, which has an impact.

But the arc that the basketball then threw made Rick Barnes doubt it again.

Of course, everything is in the middle of a flash.

Swish!

When the basketball accurately hit the basket, Rick Barnes abandoned all doubts, stood up and applauded vigorously.

Michael Jordan was applauding in the front seats not far away.

"Sheldon's mid-range shot is very smooth. It seems that he is at least at the starting level of the NBA. But why did Larry Cooper come back last time and tell me that although Sheldon can shoot three-pointers and mid-range shots, his proficiency is very average. It is very likely that he will not adapt to the NBA's local conditions?"

At this moment, Jordan was a little confused. The first thing he thought of was: Is there really something wrong with my vision?

The self-doubted Jordan frowned, turned on the radio he carried with him, turned on the CBS Sports channel, and then brought his headphones.

He wanted to find the answer through the explanations of Shannon Sharp and Maricarillo.

On the court, Nick Young did not admit defeat in the Trojans' offense and still wanted to get the ball, but Tim Floyd's team still had strict control over the players themselves, which was different from the opponent of the Wild Boars in the last game of Germany.

Nick Young has already played two in a row, and Southern California naturally wants to turn the offensive arrows. Gabi Pruitt, who is holding the ball, hit one by himself.

Augustine's defense has always been useless, and he was passed by Pruitt in one step.

Li Ke did not dare to let Nick Young out, and Du Xiao was also entangled by Tagibson. Achiley in the penalty area was not trustworthy. Pruitt drove straight into the game and scored 2 points on the throw.

At the University of Texas' offense, Augustine held the ball, and Du Xiao stood on the left side of the arc, and Li Ke still went to the bottom corner.

The same routine was still the same, suddenly started, rushed to the penalty area, and then turned back to the near free throw line.

Nick Young was careful and continued to stick closely behind Li Ke.

But on the same route, the same catch-up shot, Li Ke once again ignored Nick Young's interference and hit the mid-range shot.

Jordan's eyes lit up. It would be no surprise that he had both consecutive mid-range shots.

"Although everyone says I have a bad vision, no one should understand the CPC better than me, right? Sheldon's CPC is obviously very proficient!"

The voice of the trio on the lecture hall sounded in his ears:

"Another mid-range shot hit, two consecutive shots!"

"Faced with Nick Young's defense, shelton still hit a mid-range shot, and she seemed to have made progress again."

Progress again...

Jordan grabbed the point.

"Shannon Sharp and Maricarillo are full-time NCAA commentators. They must have watched a lot of games at the University of Texas, and their knowledge of Sheldon may be more than many scouts..."

On the court, Li Ke made a series of mid-range shots, and Tim Floyd's reaction was not slow. He immediately shouted and allowed Tagibson's defense to expand slightly, taking care of both sides of the free throw line, compressing the space of the University of Texas.

In the next two rounds, Li Ke's running with mid-range distance as the destination was no longer a threat. The University of Texas still relied on Xiao Du's mid-range singles to continue the offensive momentum.

Unlike Germany, the offense at the opening of Southern California was a little twisted and down, but it quickly adjusted.

Gaby Pruitt's breakthrough made DeGe's defensive tendency to one side. Immediately afterwards, Tagibson, the inside, began to show his strength and scored continuously.

Xiao Du's defense is not bad, but the problem is that his real position is power forward. He is facing a big man like Tagibson who can even play centers in NCAA. His size and strength are very disadvantaged, and he always can't take advantage of the basket.

This is also the reason why the University of Texas is always unable to deal with inside star players with second-rate or above NCAA.

"Tim Floyd obviously made sufficient preparations for this battle. He was indeed aiming at eliminating the top seed. If Nick Young had not been pressed to death, the Trojans would have led the lead now."

Shannon Sharp glanced at the score: "Nevertheless, the University of Texas has only 4 points ahead."

The half-time game ended soon, and the University of Texas led the University of Southern California with Du Xiao's 16 points and Li Ke's 9 points.

On the other side of Southern California, Nick Young was pressed to death and scored only 3 points, but Gaby Pruitt stood up and scored 8 points, plus Tagibson's 12 points, and was only 5 points behind in the first half.

The difference in scores of 5 points is nothing, it is just a gap of two or three goals, which means that the situation in this game is tense and it is difficult to decide the outcome.

Rick Barnes was a little worried: "If we can't kill Nick Young and Tagibson at the same time, the scores in this game will be difficult to widen. If the scores cannot be widened, the game will be very dangerous..."

Compared with the early victory in the first two rounds of the game, the situation in this game was confusing, and Rick Barnes was a little anxious to adjust.

He looked at Li Ke: "Sheldon, in the second half, you go against Tagibson..."

Finally come!

Li Ke sighed inwardly. As March Crazy advances, he may be pushed to the inside line more and more to deal with the big men on the Crazy Three, such as: Al Horford, Jokin Noah, and even Greg Oden.
Chapter completed!
