Chapter 56 The invincible me at the critical moment(1/2)
"Big heart, big heart!"
In the stands, Su Qun breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, with the advantage of 3 points in hand, the University of Texas is the one closer to victory.
Even if USC really hit a three-pointer with a devastating hit and equalizes the score, the University of Texas will have a chance to defeat the final shot.
"Li Ke's goal is very important."
"It's not just this goal, but Li Ke will explode at the end of the game."
"Yes, in the Big 12th League, didn't he win both Kansas? After playing a few simple mode games in March Crazy, I forgot that he is a famous big heart?"
"This kind of player is a precious asset. The more critical the moment comes, the more awesome it is!"
“…”
The praise and discussions of domestic peers were heard, and everyone was relieved. The game was about to be won, and the final four was still expected.
The game was paused, and Tim Floyd held the tactical board and determined the next strategy without much hesitation:
"No matter what, we have to score a goal first... Then just play a double pick-and-roll... Nick, this goal is yours..."
On the other side, Rick Barnes also nervously arranged the defense.
He first took down one of the two defensive colanders from the outside, leaving only Augustine to continue on the court, and the one who replaced it was Damien James.
In addition, he replaced Connor Archley and joined Dexter Pittman.
The last defense has been confirmed to be a positional battle, so Pittman's speed is not a problem. With Pittman on the court, the University of Texas's inside line will be safer.
Then there is the counter defense: "Sheldon, Nick Young is still yours, Kevin goes against Tagibson."
Finally, he knocked on the tactical board: "Be careful, the opponent will definitely choose to shoot a three-pointer, and they have no choice."
Amid the referee's urging, the two teams completed the last moment substitution one after another.
With a whistle, the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Stadium became quiet, and even the slightest noise was gone.
"Hu..." Su Qun took a deep breath. "I don't know why, I'm a little nervous."
"It's normal to be nervous, this is March crazy, one game determines the outcome, and if you lose, you will lose nothing."
Beep!
Another whistle sounded, and the sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor was heard on the court. After a while, Nick Young on the sideline drove the ball out, and Gabi Pruitt was still the one who received the ball.
Nick Young, who successfully served the ball, stepped into the court and then faced Li Ke's defense.
On the other side, Gabi Pruitt, who was holding the ball, quickly found Tagibson who brought the cover. After one cover, Du Xiao replaced the defense.
Anyway, with his speed and explosion, he would not suffer any loss when he was defending against a small man. Tagibson could not make three points, and giving him a chance to play small is useless.
It seems that there is no problem with Deda's defense replacement.
However, this cover from Southern California was a hand-in-hand cooperation, and the basketball appeared in Tagibson's hands.
He immediately turned sideways, and Nickyang flew over, and the second cover was also handed over.
Li Ke followed Nick Young, but was blocked by the huge Tagibson. With a bang, Li Ke snatched the collision and then took cover.
At this time, Li Ke had already understood that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Augustine was forced to replace defense and faced the three-point shot that Young Master Yang pulled out directly, Augustine panicked.
He pounced on it, but couldn't stop the car and took pictures of Nick Young.
Doudou!
The referee blew a rushing whistle and the audience was in an uproar.
"Foofed, d.j. Augustine made a mistake, he fouled at the last moment, which will give Nick Young a chance to step onto the free throw line!"
"Nick Young will execute three free throws for a foul outside the three-point line, and the score is likely to be equalized!"
Augustine was ashamed and made a big mistake. If he really lost the game, he would be the sinner of the Longhorn.
On the side of the court, the Longhorn fans looked in disbelief, while the Trojan fans made huge cheers, and they were overjoyed.
"Nick Young's free throw shooting percentage averaged 78.6%, which is not particularly accurate, but it is not low."
Li Ke stood on both sides of the free throw line, frowning. To be honest, he was wrong with the ball just now. He did not identify the cover in time and bypassed it with the fastest speed.
Of course, no one will blame Li Ke, he was just blocked by a high-quality cover.
Even so, as long as Augustine defends well, Nick Young's three-pointer is likely to not make the score. He is so desperate. Who would have thought that Augustine would give him a three-point foul?
"Nick Young, the first penalty..."
Swish!
Young Master Yang's first free throw was steadily hit.
"I'm in!"
Standing on Nick Young's right, Li Ke could clearly see that Young Master Yang took a deep breath.
He was nervous...
"The second penalty..."
It was still a swish.
Nick Young clenched his fists, then took the referee's pass, ready to continue his efforts and make a concerted effort.
"The third penalty..."
Aim at the basket, in familiar frequencies and postures…
Li Ke spoke at this moment: "Nick, I admit that you are better than Kevin Durant!"
Nick Young glanced at Li Ke and still shot the last free throw steadily.
Swish!
"I've entered, the score is tied!"
Li Ke covered his head. His interference tactics failed. Nick Yang did not respond at all. Instead, Xiao Du frowned, as if he had been affected.
Beep!
The referee blew the whistle and Rick Barnes called for a timeout.
Pause, Augustine, who made a mistake, wanted to apologize: "I'm sorry..."
Li Ke interrupted him: "Don't say sorry, dj, we still have a chance."
Rick Barnes nodded, "Yes, we still have a chance."
I looked up and looked at the time. 21 seconds, it was plenty, enough to organize a winning goal.
However, it is a question of who will give this ball to.
Rick Barnes looked at Li Ke, then looked at Xiao Du.
Xiao Du raised his hand: "Coach, I'll do it."
"No, I'll do it!"
Li Ke didn't give in at all. He had two fixed-triggered qualities of competition, as well as the randomly triggered steel will. Li Ke felt that he would be more reliable for this final kill.
Rick Barnes frowned. He had to make a decision as early as possible.
"In this way, we will play a double-choice tactic..."
The pause ended soon, but the tension kept permeating.
"I don't know who will shoot the winning goal of Deda..."
Su Qun thought, on the court, Damien James had already stood outside the sideline.
With a beep, the referee blew a whistle.
Pittman brought up and gave a cover, and Du Zao successfully caught the ball.
Li Ke was at the bottom corner and there was no movement.
The little Du arc top that received the ball took time, minute by minute...
Until the last 8 seconds, everyone started to act.
"On the right, DJ Augustin and Damien James crossed the run, in the middle, Kevin Durant started playing singles, his opponent was Tagibson who was completely defending, and Sheldon also started to move on the bottom corner of the left, and he cut into the penalty area..."
B-level empty cut, relying on two fixed trigger characteristics, it received a bonus of 40%. Then, the steel will suddenly trigger, the b-level empty cut became A-level, and Li Ke suddenly turned back!
The speed of s-level has become ss-level, the explosion has been increased to level c, and the bounce of level a has also become s-level, and everything is improving...
"Pass!"
Bang!
The basketball hit the ground, and the huge sound touched everyone.
Shannon Sharp roared in the quiet and empty arena: "KD passed the ball..."
To be continued...
