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

During this timeout, Pastner, in addition to encouraging the players to continue, also began to make adjustments in the rotation.

He took Weatherburn and Daniel Mack off the floor and replaced Will Coleman at power forward with Salley at the 3 for Mack.

The rotation in the previous game almost exhausted Pastner, so he did not intend to repeat the same mistakes in this game, but took the lead in letting the substitute players play in the first half, and let the two cores of Li Kaiming and Williams lead the rotation lineup, Presumably, even if they are behind, they will not fall behind too much. As long as the starting lineup can maintain sufficient physical strength, at the last moment of the game, they will not be as stretched as they were in the previous game.

And Pastner's active change naturally also attracted the attention of the commentator, Koslov's face became a little better, "Pastner actually started to come on the bench in the first 5 minutes, it seems that today The picture is not small!"

Matt Brad next to him smiled, "It seems that the narrow victory in the last game made Pastner learn from the pain, and came up with this trick. When the intensity of the first half of the game was still relatively low, let the substitute come up. , so that some of the starting players can guarantee their physical strength, but he is obviously not at ease about the strength of the substitute players, Li Kaiming and Williams did not rest!"

Sharp added, "I'm afraid Memphis's substitute will not be able to make a move in the semi-finals. It is not realistic to be completely on the bench!"

Stevens didn't care about Memphis' changes. He just reminded Butler's players to pay attention to protecting the penalty area, and he didn't do anything about the others.

Butler University played an exquisite cooperation when he came up. Hayward defended Sally, who was stabbed by thousands of people. Naturally, he was easy to catch. Therefore, he took two steps inside the three-point line and met Williams' help defense. But Hayward didn't panic, and a behind-the-head pass sent the basketball to Williams' defender Ryan Decker.

At this time, Ryan Decker was outside the three-point line. Seeing that Hayward was forced to stop, Williams immediately rushed towards Ryan Decker.

This guy has a three-pointer, so he can't let it go!

But Ryan Decker just swayed the ball, and Williams, who had lost his defensive position, was immediately tricked into flying. Ryan Decker stepped into the inside line at the opportunity, facing Li Kaiming's supplementary defense, and threw the ball towards the defense. Just throw it on the backboard!

Andrew Smith, who had been lurking under the rebound for a long time, stood up, and then caught the ball with both hands and dunked!

Smith, who dunked in, grabbed the basket, his body hung on it like a huge maggot, twisted a few times, and then came down with a roar!

Turning around, this time Butler has obviously strengthened the double-teaming of the inside line. When Li Kaiming received the ball inside, three people immediately covered him.

But Li Kaiming, who has experienced several double-teams, did not take it seriously. He suddenly turned around, raised the ball behind his head with both hands to prevent it from being intercepted, and then transferred the ball in a wide range, from the right 45 degrees. The waist position is passed to Sally, who is 45 degrees from the outside line on the left.

If you want to pass it on, naturally you must pass it on to the most confident person!

This is Sally's favorite rhythm. The moment he catches the ball, he jumps and shoots, and then hits the net with a three-pointer!

The point difference is still one ball!

Butler's next attack ended with Hayward's mid-range strike. Li Kaiming grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Kemp.

Coming to the frontcourt, this time he stretched out his hand to ask again. Seeing Li Kaiming's action, a center and two forwards of Butler University took a step back, ready to help defend at any time.

The position of Kemp to pass the ball directly was not very good, so he gave the ball to Sally, and let Sally pass to Li Kaiming on the same side.

Putting Sally on the same side of Li Kaiming is another tactic that Pastner came up with. As a center, Li Kaiming is very good at passing the ball among NCAA centers, but among the players in the entire league, he can only pass the ball. It is barely strong.

If the opponent uses targeted double-teaming, Li Kaiming will not be able to find the open teammate in the first time.

So let Sally stand within Li Kaiming's line of sight. This can not only ensure that Li Kaiming has a direct pass target when he is double-teamed, but also reduce his defensive pressure so that the opponent cannot double-team with all his strength.

Sally's tactic of standing on the same side obviously made Butler University a little apprehensive, and the double-teaming situation of the three of them was reduced a lot in an instant.

And Li Kaiming, who got the ball, started smoothly, lowered his shoulders, dribbled the ball and rushed towards the basket!

Andrew Smith obviously didn't expect that Li Kaiming would dare to rush inside amidst the siege of the three of them, so he was caught off guard and lost half of his body.

And Matt Howard and Hayward rushed to the inside in an instant. Stevens said that this guy must never be allowed to enter the penalty area!

The effect of the three-person double-teaming was extremely significant. Li Kaiming was forced to stop when he was two meters away from the basket, but he did not stop the ball. Stopping the ball is a taboo at this time!

I saw him take a step with his right foot to the left, shaking Andrew Smith's center of gravity to the left, but the latter is an experienced white center after all, and he did not lose his position because of this action.

Li Kaiming didn't expect to get room for his shot with this single movement. He retracted his footsteps, turned his body 180 degrees outward with his left foot as the axis, and looked up at the basket at the same time, making a fake motion to shoot.

The second fake move made Andrew Smith a little unsure, and he rushed forward. At the same time, Hayward from the other side of the penalty area also rushed over. The two men fiercely stretched out their long arms and covered them Li Kaiming.

If you don't make a move, you will be wrapped into dumplings!

At this time, Memphis' teammates and coach Pastner were a little anxious!

But Li Kaiming turned 180 degrees calmly and returned to the original position, but turned his body sideways to Smith.

When Smith saw Li Kaiming's posture and preparations, he had a bad feeling in his heart, it couldn't be...

On the other side, Matt Howard also rushed over, stretched his arms and cut towards the ball in Li Kaiming's hand.

In the commentary seat, Koslov saw this scene with a faint smile on his face, "Li Kaiming used two beautiful fake moves to attract three people to double-team for himself, let's see how he will deal with it This attack!"

Under the attention of everyone, Li Kaiming made another "ground hook" in the face of the defense of three people!

Andrew Smith, Hayward and Matt Howard all rushed towards the basketball in the air, but with Li Kaiming's height and wingspan, it is almost impossible to prevent such a hook!

Coupled with the role of the [Hook Master] badge, NCAA's defense is naturally useless.

Another hollow entry!

Grass!

Stevens hammered the tactical board hard, his palm trembling slightly because he held it too hard!

Of course he could see that Butler had completely defended the ball, to the point where there was almost no room for a shot, but the guy on the opposite side was able to hit it!

After so many years of playing basketball, Stevens felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time.

This kind of ball can be hit, which is a great blow to the morale of the enemy!

"The second update today, thank you for your support!"
