Chapter 73 Death I, Brother Du(1/2)
"After the half-time game, the University of Florida is indeed very strong. They have the upper hand on both offense and defense. Relying on the integrity of team basketball, they have been compressing the space of the University of Texas."
"But the University of Texas is only 7 points behind, so there are still opportunities."
In the live broadcast room of Yangwu, Director Zhang and Yu Jia are not interested.
After all, the University of Texas has always been behind, and Li Ke did not perform much throughout the first half.
Such a final is very different from what they originally expected.
"I hope that the University of Texas can make some changes in the second half, at least, give Li Ke a little more chance, and believe Li Ke..."
Fifteen minutes later, amid the cheers of more than 70,000 people in the Georgia Dome Stadium, the second half of the game restarted on time.
Xiao Du served from the bottom line in the backcourt. After Augustine received the ball, she handed it over to Xiao Du who stepped onto the court.
In the frontcourt, the University of Texas has a special position. Except for substitute center Dexter Pittman standing at the top of the arc, Li Ke and Damien James both shrank in the bottom corner.
Even Augustine stood by the side when she arrived in the frontcourt.
In the entire half, there were only four players in most areas, Du Junior, Pittman, and Cory Brewer and Al Horford who were facing defense.
Because De Da's offensive formation was very wide, Fo Da's defensive formation was also forced to be opened, and it is basically unlikely that any joint defense would be played.
Xiao Du controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and then there was a regular pick-and-roll.
Fo Da continues to adhere to the defensive strategy of delaying the obstacle and returning, but this time the pick-and-roll is very different.
Dexter Pittman's pick-and-roll is of a ridiculous quality, after all, this is a shark weighing more than 300 pounds.
After the cover, Xiao Du immediately accelerated, regardless of whether the opponent's defensive strategy had changed.
It is not realistic to continue to delay the rebate, because Cory Brewer can no longer keep up, so Al Horford had to bite the bullet and change defense, and faced Xiao Du.
With three or two quick steps, Horford could not keep up with Xiao Du's breakthrough speed.
The Buddha's defense line was just drilled through.
"Kd rushed in, no one could stop him!"
With a bang, a light buckle.
"At the beginning of the second half, the University of Texas made a very high-quality pick-and-roll attack. KD rushed into the basket and dunked, and the score gap narrowed to 5 points!"
"Look at Billy Donovan's adjustment, it's not appropriate to delay the rebate."
On the sidelines, Billy Donovan shouted: "Next round, pincer attack!"
To attack and defend, it means to let Pittman go. Pittman is huge, slow, and has no medium and long range. He can indeed let Pittman go.
Billy Donovan's reaction was still very fast.
For Fo Da's offense, they gave up the singles tactics in the second half of the first half and returned to the pick-and-roll offense at the beginning of the game.
It's still a duo of Tolling Green and Al Horford, which seems to be able to withstand a delayed return.
But a low-post pick-and-roll was added on the wing. Lee Humphrey took advantage of Noah's cover and threw away the defense of Augustine, and made an emergency stop jump shot without any confrontation.
Swish!
The gap in the scores has returned to 7 points.
"The strong side pick-and-roll with low pick-and-roll, players without the ball can hit the ball when they catch it. The University of Texas can copy this style of play."
It’s not that Rick Barnes doesn’t copy, but De Da doesn’t have that condition. Buddha has two big men with extremely high pick-and-roll quality. What about De Da?
Even Pittman, who now gives high-quality pick-and-roll, has no choice but to pull it up.
Xiao Du controlled the ball to the frontcourt without copying it.
Coach K began to shake his head. He was not optimistic about the current Decameron University, or to be precise, since the beginning of the game, he had not been optimistic about the Decameron University.
"A simple pick-and-roll can no longer break through the Buddha's defense..."
Cory Brewer was forced to Pittman's side. He was ready. At the first moment when the pick-and-roll began, he rushed towards Du, together with Horford.
Xiao Du took a step forward, then suddenly retreated. In this way, under the gaze of surprise, he pulled out a three-pointer on the heads of Pittman, Cory Brewer and Horford!
"Damn..."
"Kd voted directly!"
The shot was too sudden, and no one thought that this shot could be scored except Li Ke.
The moment Xiao Du took action, Li Ke raised his hands. He saw Xiao Du's confidence and knew that the ball was sure to enter.
Swish—!
The Georgia Dome seemed to have an explosion, making a loud noise.
"Oh, I bought it, this ball actually went in!"
When Shannon Sharp was amazed, Li Ke was already clapping the high fives with Xiao Du.
"Beautiful job, Kevin, we're only 4 points away!"
"Defense, we are going to start chasing points!"
In the defensive round, facing the repeated pick-and-roll, Li Ke unexpectedly changed one defense and the other made a very spiritual change.
He let Horford go, let Du change the defender's ball, and suddenly jumped out and blocked Li Hevrey who came out of the low post.
Foda did not respond at all. Taoling Green's pass choice was not good, which was mentioned by Chris Price, and now, it has become a reality.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, Li Ke slapped the original flight trajectory of the basketball.
Stealed!
boom!
"Li Ke! He rushed out and cut the ball. This was a steal, a very critical steal!"
Yangwu, who lasted for most of the time, suddenly became passionate and unrestrained. Yu Jia spoke quickly and was very excited.
Director Zhang then shouted: "Boat, pass the ball..."
Xiao Du was the first to rush to the frontcourt, and he received a pass from Li Ke.
Immediately afterwards, under the defense of Taolin Green, he directly chased a three-pointer!
Swish!
"Catch up and hit a three-pointer!"
"God, is this Kevin Durant? His score is so explosive!"
"Durant scored 8 points in a row, only 1 point away from the score!"
"This ball is entirely due to Li Ke! His steal is too crucial. Of course, Durant's performance is also very explosive. As soon as the second half began, the University of Texas had a tendency to start..."
The broadcasting camera shook sharply and swept across the audience on the sidelines.
James, Wade and Bosh, sitting in a row, raised their right hands and pointed at the sky above the court, which was playing back over and over again.
Then there was Kobe further away, and he raised his hands high, a little excited...
This game is exciting!
On the court, Li Ke and Xiao Du celebrated with a chest bump. He didn't care about anyone's credit.
All he knew was that Durant had a thrust and suddenly he went crazy.
When the team needed to score the most, it was not Li Ke who stood up, but my brother Du.
The first dunk was just the beginning, and the next three-pointer was like a sickle harvested by Death, one after another.
The gap in the scores is gone...
Right, this is Kevin and Brother Du!
This is the future Kevin Durant known as the God of Death!
Especially the three-pointer that pulled from outside the three-point line reminded Li Ke -
In the 2018 finals, when the score was still tense at the end of the game, Durant made a move directly, and he hit the long-distance three-pointer.
It was a desperate three-pointer, which directly killed the game and killed LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers!
Everyone knows that the University of Texas has a key gentleman named Sheldon Lee.
Throughout his NCAA career, Li Ke has had three finals, all of which are impressive.
Li Ke's existence makes Brother Du's big heart attribute unable to be exerted. No one knows that Brother Du is actually a key gentleman.
In this game, Fo Da easily strangled Li Ke who had no ability to hold the ball with the joint defense.
For Brother Du, who is excellent with and without the ball, all they can do is to block multiple defenses and defend successfully, but at the beginning of the second half, they still failed.
Xiao Du, who scored 8 points in a row, is no longer Xiao Du. Now, he is the god of death, my brother Du!
Buddha University can no longer restrict him!
