Chapter sixty-six strike hard
The University of Texas found an unsolvable way of playing, and Li Ke and Xiao Du's pick-and-roll were not bad.
The Ohio State opposite is not much bigger, and they have found an unsolvable way of playing.
Greg Oden ruled the penalty area, and Connor Archile's single defense was not enough.
In front of Oden, Archieley was like a ball of air that didn't exist at all.
Oden scored consecutive points, supporting Ohio State's big offense and leading the team to kill the score.
Rick Barnes was not satisfied with the status quo, so he tried to change the single defense to pinch attack, but the result was greater loopholes and trauma on the outside.
There are too many big outside shooters in Ohio State. As long as you get an open position, you can always hit one or two long shots, just like Li Ke at the beginning.
"A shot with large open space can be made as long as it has a bit of range, and you can shoot with your hands!"
Director Zhang's commentary seems to be different, but no one cares about this.
Three-pointers are always one more point than two points. It seems that it is better to defend alone than to knock down by a single strike.
In the second half of the first half, the University of Texas changed its defense back and they allowed Oden to play singles.
As we fight, it has a bit of Jordan's rules.
Oden was so fiercely that it was surprising-
"Greg Oden, turn his back and hook the ball into the basket!"
"He's here again, Oden, the ball is in the runner!"
"It's still Oden, the gorgeous Sigma turned around and made a layup!"
“…”
Li Ke was replaced and rested for a while. Off the field, he looked at Oden's rampage and said secretly: "This guy is so perverted. His steps and the little skills under the basket look much better than Howard..."
Even Howard, a rough guy, has shown his potential to dominate the NBA penalty area. A healthy Oden will definitely be able to do it, and he will even do better.
This may be what many NBA executives think.
Although Bill Simmons thinks that Du Xiao is unique, even the NBA will find a second Du Xiao Xiao, and Dirk Nowitzki is just getting close.
But sometimes, uniqueness also shows that Xiao Du’s uncertainty is too great and he does not have a fixed template.
In contrast, Oden has many mature templates. At the beginning, Bill Russell, Bill Walton, later David Robinson, and Hakeem Olajuwon, each of which is a terrifying name.
It seems that choosing Oden is much safer than choosing Xiao Du.
"Even if Xiao Du wins this game, the No. 1 pick will probably be Oden."
Li Ke shook his head. This game was not only a final four battle to determine the outcome in one battle, but also a head-on battle between Du and Oden.
Who is the real No. 2007 pick seems to be determined by the winner of this game.
But after half of the game, Oden's performance was too terrible and seemed to have made the winner insignificant.
At the end of the half game, the score difference was only 6 points.
This is exactly the same as the University of Texas's lead after Li Ke scored three-pointers in a row at the beginning.
In other words, in the subsequent games, the University of Texas failed to widen the gap in the scores.
"Greg Oden is too strong. He is simply fighting against Sheldon and KD of the University of Texas..."
At the end of the half, Shannon Sharp, in the commentary seat of CBS, sighed at Oden's strength.
Bill Simmons reminded him: "Shannon, don't forget, you thought Ohio State had the upper hand before the game, but now the University of Texas is the leader."
Shannon Sharp was stunned for a moment, but Maricarillo, who was beside him, relieved him: "No, Bill, most people think Ohio State has the upper hand before the game."
He then acknowledged the correctness of Bill Simmons's point of view: "But the result of the first half proved that you are right. The University of Texas's outside line is indeed comparable to the Ohio State's inside line."
"To be precise, Sheldon joined forces with KD, which is comparable to Greg Oden..."
The arguments in the commentator seemed to be at the back, and Oden was promoted higher.
The NCAA's halftime break is the same as the NBA, and it is 15 minutes long.
In the first half, the University of Texas led by 6 points. The game continued like this and the University of Texas could also accept it.
But in fact, neither the University of Texas nor Ohio State want the situation on the field to continue like this.
For the University of Texas, Oden has been rampant in the inside for too long. No matter how much Connor Archile controls, he has already committed four fouls in the half game. Dexter Pittman, who has been on the bench for a short time, also had a foul.
For Ohio State, Oden is fighting with injuries and his endurance is not that strong. If he continues to fight like this, he will always be exhausted.
So, both sides are seeking change, especially in Ohio State, who are eager to change.
In the locker room of the University of Texas, Li Ke, who had been running for almost the entire first half, wanted a bucket of ice and soaked his achesy calf in it.
Rick Barnes slashed at the tactical board and looked at the TV.
The coaching staff moved very quickly and had already obtained the video tape for the first half. The video tape was being played in the TV.
"Do you have any good ideas, about Greg Oden?"
Rick Barnes seemed to be asking his coaching staff members, but his eyes inevitably looked at Li Ke.
Li Ke did not disappoint him and raised his hand: "Coach, I can provide information."
"Tell me," Rick Barnes's eyes lit up, and everyone in the locker room looked at Li Ke.
"Greg Oden, he has an injury to his right hand."
...
In the second half of the game, the two teams did not change much from the lineup.
On Texas, center Pittman, power forward Du Jr., small forward Li Ke, shooting guard Damien James, and point guard Abrams.
Ohio State, center Oden, power forward Ottori Hunter, small forward Dae Quin Cook, shooting guard Ron Lewis, point guard Mike Conley...
The opening ball rights belonged to the University of Texas, and Abrams controlled the ball to the frontcourt, or the pick-and-roll.
The big pick-and-roll turned into a small pick-and-roll, and Ohio State's defense was still a mess. Compared with the first half, they were just more purposeful.
"Don't give him a three-pointer!"
Li Ke returned to the three-point line, but Ron and Lewis remained unavailable and directly let down Xiao Du.
Xiao Du rushed into the penalty area and made a layup.
"The difference between 8 points, see how Greg Oden scored this ball back!"
Shannon Sharp's commentary was as if Oden had already scored a goal.
Pittman guarded the penalty area, and Oden quickly received the ball. He knew that Pittman was different from another center at the University of Texas.
Connor Archieley's advantages are flexibility, fast speed and quick response, but Pittman wins in tonnage and is solid and stable in the lower market.
So, facing Archieley, Oden crushed with his body and strength.
Facing Pittman, he has to use his big dream steps.
He leaned against Pittman, and Oden turned to his right side for a false turn, but Pittman did not react at all and actually let it go.
Oden did not doubt that he was there, so he turned around and made a layup with his right hand.
At this moment, Pitman pounced on him fiercely.
Bang!
The thick black hand hit Oden's right hand heavily.
With a beep, the referee whistled.
Oden grabbed his right hand and frowned.
Sadmata on the sidelines also changed his face. He wanted to say: Referee, that guy's foul was intentional.
But Pittman made it clear that he wanted to commit a foul on purpose.
It is obvious that the University of Texas saw Oden's reality and Oden's right arm was injured!
Although, Oden used protective gear to cover it.
Even if the referee knows what the University of Texas wants to do, he will not stand up and stop it, because everything that the University of Texas does is within the scope permitted by the rules.
"Greg Oden is indeed fighting with injuries. We won this game!"
Off the field, Rick Barnes made a simple judgment: Oden covered his right arm, which was already very obvious.
Then, what the University of Texas needs to face is Greg Oden with only one arm.
The original hard mode game immediately became a simple mode.
"Let Matt go up and play for a while later, defend Greg Oden's left side and put him on the right side. If you can't stop it, you will be fouled. Remember to take a little more ruthless..."
Although it is a bit unfair to take advantage of Oden's injuries like this.
