I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 78 Anxiety (A few explanations about the follow-up plot)
The game is in a state of anxiety.

With 7 minutes and 13 seconds left in the first half, Darrell Arthur dunked and scored, and Kansas took a 28-23 lead.

But Rose quickly fought back. Facing a double-team, he pulled out from outside the three-point line and moved the score to 28:26.

Afterwards, under the defense of Rose, Chalmers missed a layup. The University of Memphis counterattacked. Rose broke through and scored. Antonio Anderson from the outside line made an open three-pointer and hit again to overtake the score!

Kansas called for a timeout.

After the timeout ended, Kansas still adhered to the previous defensive strategy, but became more determined.

Chalmers and Brandon Rush were almost inseparable and stuck close to Rose. From the moment he got the ball, he made a crazy double-team press and did not give Rose a chance to look up.

Coach Bill Self's exact words: "I want a complete vacuum between the two of you and Rose! Don't even leave a gap of air!"

As for Memphis' top scorer CD Roberts, others can only rotate to help defend.Anyway, as long as you don't let him come to the basket, shoot casually from the outside!
Rose felt unprecedented defensive pressure.

Although Kansas has no superstars, its execution is very strong, which is also the biggest reliance on their ability to reach the finals.

And Chalmers and Brandon Rush are the best outside defensive players in the team, and they will also enter the NBA in the future.

Although Rose is brave, he is only a first-year rookie after all. On the stage of the finals, facing such a defense, he also panicked a little.

In the next few attacks, no matter whether it was a hard shot from the outside or a barely broken breakthrough, they failed to score.

Rose tried to seek support from his teammates, but he couldn't calmly observe the situation on the field in front of the opponent's stormy defense.

While desperately protecting the ball, he observed from the corner of his eye, and as far as he could see, he could only see that other teammates were surrounded by defenders, and only CD seemed to be in the open.

No way, you have to give the ball to CD.

But the Nerve Knife CD still felt cold, and after missing two more shots, he didn't even dare to fire!

"Don't f*ck throwing in the face, break through!" Kashuai was angry and anxious, and couldn't help but swear on the sidelines.

CD has the ability to break through, but that is in normal times. Under the heavy pressure today, not only does it feel cold, but the state of breaking through is also very poor.

This is actually a chain reaction. As a standard nerve knife, if he can make those few shots under the defense of Brandon Rush at the beginning of the game, maybe he can block and kill God in this game , The Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha.

However, reality cannot be assumed.

Now, under the urging of the coach, he can only bite the bullet and go to the basket.

However, when he was in a bad state, he hesitated after all, and his indeterminate thinking caused the slow deformation of his movements.

Although the man went in, the shot was slow. A layup that was not too difficult gave the opponent enough time to adjust, and Darrell Arthur slapped the ball out.

Kashuai was already furious: "@#&$%...Be firm with me, I swear, if you are so soft again, I will definitely replace you immediately, immediately!"

Kashuai, who was furious, didn't reflect on himself, why didn't he be more determined, and replaced CD Roberts immediately and immediately.

CD wanted to cry, but his condition was extremely poor, but the coach made him do this and that, and that blind-eyed Rose desperately passed the ball into his hands!What's even more irritating is that the opponent Kansas didn't even have someone to mark him, which made him have so many open shots!

God, what mistake did I make, why is the whole world against me!

But complaining is complaining, but the ball flew into his hands again!

In the fierce competition, he was unmarked, like a giraffe in a donkey pen, so conspicuous!As long as Rose is not blind, he must be the best pass choice!

The ball is like a hot potato, making CD feel so uncomfortable in his hand.

However, he already felt that Kashuai's stern gaze was shining directly on him like a searchlight, so he had no choice but to fight.

He dribbled the ball to the basket again, facing Sasha Cowen who blocked him, this time he did not back down, but mustered all his strength to head-on.

"boom"

Body collision, the ball hit the backboard.

But the referee's whistle also sounded.

Called a foul!
CD heaved a sigh of relief, this time he can't blame himself for not getting in, it's all because the opponent fouled earlier!
He secretly observed the coach from the corner of his eye, and sure enough, he saw Kashuai's expression softened.

The big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and CD walked to the free throw line as if he had survived a catastrophe.

He took a deep breath, thinking that the free throws would not be so slow anymore.

However, when he looked up, he was dumbfounded.

It turned out that behind the basket was the stands for University of Kansas fans.

In order to distract him, the other party did everything they could, yelling, making faces, jumping around and yelling, and wriggling after taking off their clothes. Eh, why are there still take off your pants...

CD, who was already in a very poor state, couldn't concentrate at all, and missed both free throws.

The moment he missed the second free throw, Kashuai made up his mind and changed!
Will Kemp came on to replace CD Roberts.

And the game time, now only 3 minutes left.

With a score of 35:29, the Memphis Tigers fell behind by another 6 points, which means that Memphis didn't score a single point in just over 3 minutes.

However, before Kashuai's adjustments were effective, Memphis was hit in the head first.

Chalmers made a three-pointer in front of Jeremy Weiss.

The score was expanded to 38:29, and it was about to lead by double digits!
Compared with CD, except for a better state, Will Kemp's other qualities are weaker, including defense.This is also an important reason why Kashuai has been hesitant before.

But fortunately, Wil Kemp's playing can still help the team on the offensive end.

When Rose faced the double-team again, he passed to the open Will Kemp.

Kemp hit a jumper and moved back for a three-pointer.

This ball also made the Kansas people realize that other people in Memphis can also shoot.

After that, Kemp scored an open mid-range shot again.

This time, the Kansas people did not dare to double-team Rose unscrupulously. Although the main energy was still on him, Brandon Rush also had to allocate energy to guard against Kemp.

For a super player like Rose, it would be brilliant if given some sunshine. The Kansas people's attention was a little loose, and he immediately seized the opportunity to break through and score again.

And the Kansas people didn't stop, they took advantage of Kemp's defensive weakness and kept scoring.

At the last moment of the first half, the two sides were like two boxers fighting each other. You punched me and I punched you, waiting for the other to get down first.

Finally, at the end of the first half, with a score of 44:39, the University of Kansas took the lead and entered the intermission.

The more intense and treacherous second half of the game is about to start.
