NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

After Li Kaiming got the rebound, he passed the ball to Kemp, and then quickly ran forward.

Andrew Smith gritted his teeth and followed behind. The other players from Butler University also ran towards the backcourt at the first time of Memphis' fast break. The four formed a wall near the three-point line.

The rhythm of the game fell into positional warfare again.

The audience at the scene began to shout "defense" in unison again.

This time, Kemp chose to play a tactic, but at this moment, the tactic should be as simple as possible, and the ball should pass through as few hands as possible, otherwise mistakes are likely to occur.

The last time Williams was used as the bait, but this time Li Kaiming was used as the bait.

Let Li Kaiming come up to the pick-and-roll, and then attract a double-team, Williams picks up the opportunity and runs, and receives the ball outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right.

The rest of the players are stretched beyond the three-point line to create singles opportunities for the core of the team.

Williams successfully received a pass from Kemp on the outside, and his opponent was blocked by Li Kaiming, who was still about one step away from Williams.

And this kind of space is already ready for Williams to shoot. Facing Ryan Decker who rushed over, he looked calm and made a three-pointer.

Li Kaiming and Andrew Smith at the basket frantically engaged in physical confrontation to determine the ownership of the rebound.

Although Li Kaiming has the [Rebounding Idiot] badge, he weighs less than Smith after all, and his strength attributes are also relatively poor in the interior.

In addition, he was grabbing an offensive rebound, so he was naturally blocked by Smith.

But Williams' ball didn't give Smith a chance to grab a rebound, and flew directly into the basket along a parabola.

63: 67!

The Memphis dual-core suddenly exerted strength and chased the score to only 4 points behind the two sides!

Stevens couldn't sit still and immediately called a timeout.

There are less than 3 minutes before the end of the game, and the gap between the two sides can be evened out in only two rounds.

No matter how calm the coach is, he has to stand up and direct the team at this time.

Besides, this is only Stevens' second timeout. Butler University performed very well in the second half, and Stevens didn't call a timeout to arrange anything. He only needed to give instructions from the sidelines.

Li Kaiming and Williams high-fived, and then sat side by side on the Memphis bench.

The water dispenser players enthusiastically handed over two bottles of energy drinks, while the team staff on the side gave each player a clean towel.

Pastner glanced at the players with big heads and smiled on his face.

"Boys, your performance is very good, keep it up, I can already see the finals..."

As a rookie coach, Pastner has experienced a lot along the way. Although he is still behind today, he is no longer at a loss as in the previous game.

In addition to players, coach Pastner is also growing.

Although Memphis didn't need to make too many tactical adjustments, Pastner habitually drew a few points and running routes on the tactical board.

The timeout passed, and before going on the field, Pastner suddenly grabbed Li Kaiming, "Li!"

Li Kaiming was a little puzzled, but still bent down.

Pastner covered his mouth with his hands, and then said something into Li Kaiming's ear.

After hearing this, Li Kaiming showed a look of surprise on his face.

But he nodded anyway, and walked onto the court.

As soon as the Memphis players came on the field, they were shocked by the boos of the fans on the scene.

Butler had the ball and gave it to Hayward after serving. This time, point guard Hahn directly became a tool man.

Hayward dribbles from the backcourt to the frontcourt, facing Williams' defense.

The entire audience was silent. Whether Butler scored or not, the trend of the game will be completely different!

In such a depressing atmosphere, Hayward started, and he chose to arch his back to the inside again and hit Williams with his back.

However, he did not dare to back hit too deep.

After all, there is also an extremely fast center Li Kaiming on the inside. With the latter's defense speed, he can completely defend against two in the narrow penalty area!

So this time Hayward hit his back to a small step outside the 45-degree penalty area, and then shook his shoulder in the opposite direction.

This post fake is a required course for all swingmen.

Williams was confused by Hayward's feint, and deviated slightly from his defensive position, and was wiped away by Hayward's turn.

In this position, after the opposing defender is passed, there is only the last line of defense left, and that is the center forward who protects the frame!

Seeing that Williams was passed, Li Kaiming immediately took two steps forward, while raising his hands high to prevent Hayward from throwing.

But Hayward didn't intend to shoot, and they all went into the penalty area. The most efficient one was naturally to attack the basket.

Although before the game, Stevens warned Butler's players not to easily try to challenge Li Kaiming's frame protector.

But at this point, Hayward has completely forgotten about Stevens' suggestion.

He is confident that even if he is facing Duncan, he can score a few, let alone a bankrupt version of Duncan's second generation.

Even if you can't score, you can make free throws!

In this game, he performed very well and had a high shooting percentage, which further enhanced his confidence.

His feet were a little faster, and he had already joined the ball after Williams' first step, and he could get it if he didn't make it at this time!

One step away from the basket, Hayward's face became ugly.

Because he found out that he didn't get rid of Li Kaiming!

That guy was nearly 10 centimeters taller than him!

How can this be?

But the arrow is on the string, I have to send it!

He took the last step towards Li Kaiming, and then he confronted the latter's chest with his left arm. He threw the ball with his right hand, and with a flick of his wrist, he made a basket.

Although Li Kaiming's power level is not very good at the center position, but in the face of the dislocation of the small forward, his strength advantage is quite obvious.

Hayward obviously didn't let him carry the ball away. Under the interference of his raised hands, Hayward's layup hit the backboard and fell over the basket!

Li Kaiming came to defend Hayward, and Andrew Smith at the basket naturally faced Williams who switched defenses.

The difference in height between the two was more than ten centimeters, and Smith easily took off the rebound on Williams' head.

But when Smith got the rebound and started again, Li Kaiming, who had defended Hayward, had already freed his hand, and swooped over to give him a big cap!

This one cap made the basketball out of Smith's control, a group of people were in a mess under the basket, and finally the ball hit Smith's body and went out of bounds!

The bottom line referee immediately signaled, Memphis's frontcourt ball!

Andrew Smith protested symbolically, then ran to the backcourt helplessly.

In the commentary seat, Sharp completely replaced Koslov as the host, and explained into the microphone, "Hayward chose to challenge Li Kaiming. It seems that it is not a good choice at the moment. If this is the case, the rhythm of the game will be completely When it comes to Memphis, as long as Memphis can score the next goal, the offensive and defensive momentum will be completely reversed!"

The audience at the scene also saw that the trend of the game was developing in a direction that was not conducive to the home team, so they became even more hysterical.

Li Kaiming on the field only felt that his eardrums were about to be shattered!

More than 6 spectators shouted "defense" in unison!

The Butler University players also looked very serious, staring at the Memphis players serving in the backcourt without blinking.
