At the beginning of the second half, the University of Texas changed players, Damien James came on the field and replaced Augustine.

Li Ke reached the fourth position and met Tagibson.

The previous opponents of USC are different from those of Texas. They are not stupid. Perhaps it is because they have learned in advance, or perhaps it is because they are planning to resume their original style of play in the second half.

After Li Ke changed defense, Tagibson lost his position in the interior and wanted to wait for the ball to catch it.

The ball was handed over to the outside line again. First, Gabi Pruitt, facing his new opponent Abrams, he asked for a pick-and-roll.

It was not Tagibson who brought the cover up, but center Abdu Ndiaye.

From this detail alone, we can see that the University of Southern California is fully prepared.

If Tagibson brings out cover, Li Ke can directly switch defenses and let Abrams defend Tagibson's bottom, and the pick-and-roll of the Southern Californians will be no threat at all.

But now that Ndiaye went to cover it, Achili's defense would be too short of trouble.

"Gabby Pruitt got the opportunity to misalign through cover, and Connor Archile couldn't keep up!"

Damien James couldn't bear it and rushed over.

Pruitt reacted quickly and stuffed the ball behind his back.

Nick Young received the ball, glanced for a while, and then he steadily and stably before he threw the basketball in his hand.

Swish!

The crisp sound of rubbing the net seemed to trigger thunder, and the entire Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Stadium shook.

"The opportunity to get a big open space, three-pointer hit, and Nick Young just started the second half, swept the decline!"

"By relying on this three-pointer, NanCai scored only 2 points away."

Li Ke secretly said that it was not good, Young Master Yang meant to be in power.

At this time, he wanted to find Rick Barnes on the sidelines and asked to replace the defense. Even if the defense is replaced, it would be better to allow Tagibson to rage the inside again than to let Young Master Yang get up.

On the sidelines, Rick Barnes did not have the idea of ​​changing the defense back, but just scolded Damien James.

On the court, Li Ke also performed the duties of the head coach and took pictures of Damien James, who was not interested in him: "If you are optimistic about you, don't meddle in other people's business!"

Compared with Gabi Pruitt, Nick Young who gets crazy is even more terrifying.

The University of Texas' offense was in danger, so Du had to stand up and beat Tagibson alone, and made a quick stop to widen the gap in the score to 4 points again.

In the subsequent defensive round, Damien "although he didn't want to listen to Li Ke's words, he was forced to be the tyranny of the head coach on the sidelines." James stood tightly in front of Nick Young.

And Nick Young, who had just scored a goal, seemed to have regained his confidence, hit the three-point line to catch the ball, and then started a single.

Test steps, then take the real first step, break through...

Nick Young instantly appeared in the three-point line, followed by an emergency stop, shook Damien James half of his body and made a jump shot.

Swish!

"Nicky Young's touch is back!"

The competition seemed to be heading towards the direction that Li Ke didn't want to see.

Two minutes later, the Trojans equalized the score.

Five minutes later, the University of Texas fell behind and Rick Barnes finally transferred the defense back.

Ten minutes later, the University of Texas took the lead again with Du Xiao scoring consecutively.

Another minute later, Nick Young ignored Li Ke's defense and made a three-pointer.

The game entered a tug-of-war.

"Nanca's preparations are too well prepared. They have seized Deda's weaknesses to death."

"If you continue to fight like this, the University of Texas may fail..."

In the stands in the middle of the sidelines, Chinese reporters who could not get the broadcast rights of NCAA in a short period of time, but still wanted to learn about Li Ke's NCAA career as soon as possible sat in a row of seats and communicated with each other as the game progressed.

The situation was tense at this time, and they became anxious.

"I heard that CCTV contacted the NCAA official. It was too late before the semi-finals. You can broadcast it after the semi-finals. Don't negotiate the interwebs. De University has not entered the semi-finals..."

Su Qun, who came from China, naturally had his channels to learn about these gossips.

As compatriots, as long as they still have a conscience, they don’t want to see Li Ke’s team be eliminated. It’s best to play all the way to the finals and win the final championship trophy. After all, they have always been looking forward to Li Ke being able to play in NCAA.

Of course, if Deda really gets out, they have also thought of a word:

"Either come back next year or go to a bigger stage to show yourself."

But no matter what, they never thought that the German conference was eliminated in the knockout round of 16 to 8, which was unacceptable.

"At least you have to reach the final four."

If you reach the final quarterfinals, CCTV will broadcast it. At that time, domestic audiences can watch Chinese players and make their first appearance in the NCAA field.

The stands were very anxious. On the court, as the game slowly entered the last moment, Li Ke felt the temporary bonus from the system.

"The big heart is here, and the competition I just got was temporarily activated. After all, it is a life-and-death battle..."

"It's just the steel will."

The score is 66:67, and the lead is the University of Texas, and USC holds the ball.

The last 2 minutes left in the game.

Gabi Pruitt controlled the ball, and time walked minute by minute.

Li Ke always felt a little powerless when he pressed Nick Young who had already cast his touch.

Nick Young took a break and received the ball from the left side of the arc.

Li Ke followed closely behind, without giving a slight space.

"For USC, the key offense, the key defense for the University of Texas, but Sheldon's defense seems to be unable to do anything to Nick Young now..."

With the two characteristics of Big Heart and the competition, Li Ke's defense suddenly became flawless.

But Young Master Yang still turned over and faced Li Ke's defense and made a difficult central shot.

"Central shot hit, Nick Young, his performance is incredible!"

"The first half was mediocre, but the second half was completed. Southern California took the lead, and Nick Young, who made consecutive jump shots against the sky, made great contributions!"

Li Ke wanted to spread his hands to express his helplessness. He still couldn't defend himself from the bonus, but he held back.

Looking back at the offense, the University of Texas played a baseline and quickly sent it. Augustine, who received the ball, quickly rushed to the front court.

Li Ke started running from the bottom corner and suddenly braked sharply to the middle distance.

Nick Young, who was following the defense, also kicked. The emergency stop at this position was not beyond Nick Young's expectations.

Then, Li Ke suddenly activated again, and Nick Young subconsciously shrank two steps in, but unexpectedly, Li Ke's goal was outside the three-point line.

By the time he realized it, he had been two steps slowing down.

When he reached the three-point line, Xiao Du passed the ball over.

Nick Yang arrived with a slap, Li Ke took this three-pointer without hesitation.

Swish!

Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Stadium was instantly boiling.

"The ball has entered!"

"Oh my god, Sheldon, he withstood the pressure!"

"This three-pointer is too crucial!"

Commentary Seat, Shannon Sharp, Maricarillo, and Patrick Ewing were all marveling.

In the stands, journalists from China were cheering.

"Those three points are big heart!"

"The 1-point trailing becomes a 2-point lead. Now the University of Texas has an advantage!"

In the front seat, Michael Jordan clenched his fists. He knew his identity and he couldn't cheer, otherwise it would be too obvious.

But deep down, he was still applauding Li Ke: "The big heart is the big heart that is the superstar!"

At this moment, Michael Jordan seemed to have forgotten that he once had a teammate named Steve Cole who hit the free throw line in the finals and defeated the Utah Jazz, helping him win his fifth championship trophy.

The last minute of the game is left.

Nanca, who holds the ball but is 2 points behind, wants to control the time and give himself the ball to the last attack.

Li Ke was close to Nick Young who was out of the ball. At the last moment, Nick Young was at a loss. He ran around and wanted to catch the ball and shoot the shot at this critical moment.

Li Ke chased after him until Nick Young passed by Gabi Pruit, who was holding the ball, and Li Ke, who was following closely behind, suddenly took action!

boom!

The fans on the sidelines noticed Li Ke's small movements and screamed one after another.

With a snap, the basketball was cut off.
