Chapter 89 Whoever calls timeout first loses

Even Pastner's eyes widened with a look of surprise on his face.

Of course he could see that Li Kaiming was angry with the ball, but this guy's status in the team was relatively stable, so he was allowed to hit one randomly, but Pastner had already made up his mind, When the next timeout comes, tell Li Kaiming to calm down and stop fighting with the fans.

But what he didn't expect was that although Li Kaiming was fighting balloons, he could still get in!

And he scored two goals in a row with a skill he had never shown before.

Beside the bench at Butler University, Stevens frowned gradually.

He was both surprised and puzzled. He watched Li Kaiming's game very carefully. He had never seen him use the hook in the video. Very skilled, like a person who just learned to hook.

The question is, will this guy do it or not.

This made it difficult for Stevens, who is famous for his impromptu response.

However, he was still able to hold his breath, mainly because these two balls seemed to be caught, especially the second one, which was trembling. If the strength of the shot was smaller, it would be a three-pointer!

Andrew Smith, who received the coach's hint, also let go of his hanging heart. It seems that the guy he was facing was really lucky, and he was able to get two in a row!

As for Koslov in the commentary seat, he choked on Li Kaiming's goal, and then he laughed and said, "Li Kaiming is lucky today, this is the second one..."

The two Sharps on the side rarely agreed with Koslov's opinion, "These two balls have too much luck, I am afraid it will be difficult to shake Stevens' defensive strategy!"

Hearing that Sharp also thought that Li Kaiming's two balls were hoodwinked, Koslov immediately puffed up his chest, and a smile appeared on his face.

How, am I right!

Butler's offense was still exceptionally sharp. This time, Hayward took advantage of Andrew Smith's cover and took advantage of the moment Li Kaiming didn't pounce, and suddenly shot a cold arrow and made a three-pointer with a step back!

Li Kaiming jumped a bit late, and the basketball went into the net with a swish!

In the offensive round of Memphis, Kemp dribbled the ball to the front court, and Williams came up with a pick-and-roll screen according to the tactics, and then Li Kaiming covered his defender on the bottom line for Daniel Mack, who was crossing the corner. Butler's The defensive formation was also changed extremely quickly. Andrew Smith switched defenses with Matt Howard immediately and rushed towards the outside.

But Matt Howard stayed inside and pushed Li Kaiming out of the penalty area with both hands.

Butler's defensive rotation is a precision machine, barely getting out of the open.

Seeing this, Kemp had no choice but to hand the ball to Williams, who was 45 degrees outside, and let him play singles.

And Williams lived up to expectations. As a draft pick on the fringe of the lottery, his own strength is obviously stronger than his opponent Grant Reindeck, so the moment he received the ball, a cross step flashed past Reindeck's defense , one position ahead of the latter.

But Butler's defense is not paper. Stevens naturally knows that it is unrealistic to expect Ryan Decker to defend Elliott Williams, so he will deploy three people on the defensive line to prevent Ryan After Dirk was passed by with one step, Williams could directly enter the penalty area with one step!

So Kemp's defenders on one side immediately rushed towards Williams, and they were in a pincer attack with Ryan Decker on the other side.

Seeing that there was no chance to break in, Williams suddenly slammed on the brakes, kicked off the ground, and shot a jumper with an emergency stop!

When Matt Howard saw Williams make a mid-range shot, he immediately turned around to face the basket. By the way, he took a horse stance, leaned against Li Kaiming with his back, and at the same time pressed his body's center of gravity back so that Li Kaiming could not get close to the rebound.

It has to be said that Howard's small defense and big card skills are superb. No wonder he was able to score a rebound at a critical moment in the last game and help Butler University enter the semi-finals.

But Li Kaiming's epic [Rebounding Idiot] badge is kept here, how can little Matt Howard be able to resist it.

Li Kaiming first confronted Howard with all his strength, and when he felt that the latter's strength was about the same, he suddenly turned sideways and withdrew the stool!

Howard was exerting all his strength to resist Li Kaiming's impact from behind, when he suddenly felt that the back was empty, and his body lost its focus in an instant. In order to maintain his balance, he had to wave his arms and take a few steps back. Kankan stabilized his figure and didn't squat.

But after such an operation, there was no one who could grab the rebound with Li Kaiming, so he easily won the offensive rebound.

However, Howard was not a vegetarian either. He felt a bit distressed when he was removed from the bench in public. Seeing Li Kaiming got the rebound, he immediately jumped on him and resisted the former with all his strength.

His strength is still quite strong, at least Li Kaiming can't go straight in like hitting a defender with his back.

So he could only lean on Howard again, with his right arm stretched out, and a small top with his left foot as the axis. After his right hand rose to the highest point, he flicked his wrist lightly, and it was another "ground hook"!

Swish!

The basketball hits the net again!

[System]: Mission progress 3/5.

beep!

Stevens couldn't sit still on the sidelines, and immediately called a timeout.

Although the point difference between the two sides is still you come and go, just hovering on a ball, and neither side can widen the point difference, but the opposite center has scored 6 points in 5 of 10 in this short period of time. It seems almost unacceptable!

You know, none of the top six teams that played against Butler University scored more than 60 points in the game. In the first half of the game, within 5 minutes of the game, my inside line was nearly [-]% by the opposing center. The shooting percentage scored in double figures!

This is unforgivable in Stevens' defensive philosophy. In his basketball philosophy, the penalty area is the core of defense. If a team can't even protect the penalty area, the team's performance will definitely not be much better. !

So during this timeout, Stevens yelled at the players, and at the same time drew a big circle on the penalty area of ​​the tactical board!

"Protect our penalty area! OK? I don't want to see anyone scoring easily in our penalty area!"

On the other hand, Pastner was in an extremely relaxed mood. Before the start of the game, his heart was always tense, for fear that Memphis would be defeated by the opponent as soon as he came up, or his own attack would be blocked by the opponent!

But neither of those things happened!

Under the leadership of Li Kaiming, Memphis not only played back and forth with Butler, but also forced Stevens to call a timeout first.

Under the dual advantages of geographical location and harmonious people, Butler University couldn't stand it and called a timeout, which surprised all the fans watching the game.

After all, the side that calls for a timeout first is the one that needs to make adjustments. Most people think that Pastner will be suspended and adjusted as soon as Stevens hits him.

But life is always so dramatic that the most unlikely things will happen.

In the commentary seat, Koslov's face was about to become as dark as that of Sharp next to him. Koslov was a mixed-race black with a fair complexion, while Sharp was a purebred black...

It can be seen how Koslov is feeling at this time.

It can be said that it is like mourning a concubine!
