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

During the first timeout, although Pastner was dissatisfied with the performance of the players, he was still relatively calm.

He drew a big circle on the tactical board, covering almost the entire half court, "Boys, Hayward on the opposite side feels very good tonight, don't retreat when defending, put pressure on him, and enter this range Then go to post defenses, remember?"

The Memphis players all nodded.

On the other side, Stevens chose to switch to the substitute lineup and began to save energy for the starters.

From the current point of view, it is almost impossible for Butler to kill Memphis in one wave, so winning ultimately depends on whether his physical strength is sufficient.

After the timeout, Memphis continued to use a half-starter and half-substitute lineup, while Butler University replaced four substitutes, and Hayward was the only starter still on the court.

It seems that Stevens saw that the former felt hot and let him lead the team to play for a while.

The effect of the timeout has not been reflected on the offensive end, and Butler University's bench defense is not vegetarian.

After Williams cut in from the right baseline, facing the defense of backup center Gordon Ford, he made a drop shot.

Gordon Ford is a short black center in his early two meters, with fast movement, good physical fitness, and excellent running and jumping ability.

Although Williams' ball was not blocked by Ford, it was also affected by the defense and bounced above the basket.

Ford's supplementary defense left a large area under the basket. Li Kaiming saw the opportunity and plunged into the basket, and got stuck under the backboard before the basketball fell.

Without the center of Butler University, facing Li Kaiming, who has a height of 210, almost no one can prevent the latter from taking this rebound.

When Li Kaiming got the rebound, Butler's three men all defended him.

He first feinted with the ball, pretending to layup.

A center makes a layup under the basket, but Butler's short men will naturally not stand and watch.

Hayward, who rushed to the front, jumped up immediately, and at the same time slapped the ball in Li Kaiming's hand hard with both hands!

Just when Hayward thought he would give the big man a blood cap, the guy under him suddenly put away the ball.

Seeing this scene, Hayward's heart suddenly turned cold!

Oops!

But he is not a bird, he has wings and can adjust his position in the air.

Although he tried his best to avoid Li Kaiming's cylinder, he still couldn't dodge it in the end.

After Li Kaiming swayed, he took a small step forward, and hit a reverse basket with a small hook.

At the same time, his body also made contact with Hayward in the air!

beep!

The referee immediately blew his whistle, signaling Hayward to foul!

Hayward knew he was wrong, and obediently raised his hand.

After the basketball collided with the backboard, it also fell into the basket.

2+1!

At the same time, a holographic screen of the system appeared in front of Li Kaiming's eyes.

[System]: Congratulations to the host, you have completed the b-level basic task, obtained 15 attribute points, and 140 points!

Double happiness, no, triple happiness!

The ball scored 2+1, made a foul on the opposite No. 1 star, and completed the task!

Standing on the free throw line, Li Kaiming laughed silly.

Until Williams on the side reminded him to make free throws loudly, if he didn't make a free throw, it would be timed out!

He just woke up from the excitement, and then shot a free throw in a hurry.

Basketball doesn't lie, Comrade Li Kaiming's joy gave birth to sorrow, but he didn't score in the extra penalty!

This made Pastner, who was watching the game from the bench, itchy with anger!

What the hell is this guy doing?

Butler's counterattack came quickly, and Hayward was the absolute core after he was replaced as a substitute.

As soon as he arrived in the frontcourt, the backup point guard gave the ball to Hayward and asked him to organize the offense.

Facing Sally's defense, Hayward did not choose to call a screen this time. In his opinion, playing Sally on the outside may be a wiser choice than challenging Li Kaiming in the penalty area.

And the fact is true, Sally's defense, against a star player like Heyward who is proficient in all sudden passes and shots, is almost no different from Malu in the early morning.

After throwing off Sally's defense, Hayward made another mid-range shot!

This time Li Kaiming kept an eye out and took a few steps outside the penalty area before Hayward made a move.

It was the gap of these few steps that made this defense interfere with Hayward.

The mid-range shot misses the basket.

Under the basket, two beast-like figures, after a fierce physical confrontation, finally Coleman won and took the rebound.

Coleman is not good at shooting, but he does this kind of dirty work very well.

……

Taking advantage of the fact that the opposite center was not on the court, Li Kaiming was overwhelmed inside, like a dragon, all kinds of defense, board and offense.

Finally, before the end of halftime, he scored 18 points with a tip-up.

At this time, there are less than 5 minutes left before the end of the first half.

[System]: Congratulations to the host, complete the b-level advanced task, and get three badge upgrade times!

Li Kaiming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the system prompt.

……

A few minutes later, the whistle sounded at halftime, and the scores of the two sides were displayed on the big screen at Lucas Stadium.

Memphis trailed Butler by 35 point at 36:1.

The first half of the game, where you come and I are evenly matched, made the fans watching the game very enjoyable.

Although their home team did not have an advantage in the first half, it was a worthwhile trip to enjoy a wonderful game.

Besides, Butler University still has a great chance of winning this game.

In the commentary booth, Koslov looked at the statistics table in his hand and said to the audience, "At the end of the first half, the scores of the two sides were very close. There are players who performed well in both teams. Butler's sea Ward played 15 minutes in the half, scoring 16 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, while Li Kaiming on the opposite side performed just as well, playing 16 minutes in the half, scoring 18 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks!"

At the same time, the heads of Li Kaiming and Hayward were also released on the big screen, and the data of the two were listed below.

Koslov looked at the two Sharps beside him, "You two, who do you think will win this game?"

Matt Brad and Sharp obviously lost the firmness at the beginning of the game. After hesitating for a while, they slowly said, "This game may be like Memphis playing Tennessee, playing to the last second, so who can play now?" Win, we can't see it."

After hearing this expected answer, Koslov lowered his head and glanced at the statistics table, and then said to the two Sharps, "I have a different opinion!"

Sharp and Brad curled their lips in disdain, what else do you have to say?Apart from belittling Li Kaiming mindlessly, what other convincing words can he say?

But what Koslov said made the two of them immediately fall into silence, "Memphis still has physical problems today. Although it is not as serious as the last game, their dual-core playing time reached 15 minutes at halftime. But Butler on the opposite side, using the substitute in the second half, can fight back and forth with Li Kaiming and the others, isn't that the problem?"

It was rare for Koslov to say something human.

Even the two of Sharp couldn't find the problem with Koslov's point of view for a while.

In other words, this is the truth and cannot be refuted!
