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

While the game was going on, online discussions about the game were in full swing.

Many people questioned the performance of Butler University.

"What's Butler doing? What's Stevens doing? What's Hayward doing? Can anyone tell me how Butler manages to play back and forth with a team that's far worse on paper of? Are you kidding me?"

"To be honest, looking at the statistics, the players at Butler University performed very well tonight."

"It's all very good, but that's just the offensive end. A team that is based on defense has abandoned its best defense and started playing against the opponent. Isn't it very good?"

"Stevens made a major mistake in his strategy tonight. How could he allow Li Kaiming to score so many points in his penalty area?"

"I still believe that Stevens can adjust. Pastner and him are not at the same level..."

And many well-known nba commentators are also paying close attention to this game.

Barkley tweeted, "Memphis can play to this point tonight, almost relying on Kaiming Li alone. This guy destroyed the restricted area of ​​​​Butler University. Stevens seems to have nothing to do about it."

Sir Ba is still unreservedly optimistic about Li Kaiming.

Of course, in addition to Barkley, a Hall of Fame star who is optimistic about Memphis, another heavyweight also participated in tonight's discussion.

No. 1 in the history of the Lakers, the number one point guard in NBA history, and Maggie Jackson, the father-in-law of all people, also rarely expressed his views while watching the game.

The Magic tweeted, "Respect Memphis, but Butler wins!"

The participation of the magician made the whole game more popular on Twitter, not only because of his status as a Hall of Fame superstar, but also his attitude of still firmly supporting Butler when Butler fell behind.

The vast majority of people are still optimistic about Butler University entering the finals.

The timeout of the game passed quickly. After the players from Butler University entered the field, all of them looked very serious, as if they had changed a group of players during the timeout.

Stevens' adjustment effect was immediate. Butler's first ball came up, allowing Matt Howard to find an opportunity in the middle distance on the left, and then Howard took the ball and made a steady hit.

Butler's bigger change was on the defensive end. When Memphis attacked in the next round, Kemp faced Zach Hahn as if he was going to eat him, leaving no space for the former.

Kemp had to call Coleman over to cover.

But the moment Coleman came over, he also brought his defender Gordon Ford.

The moment Ford and Hahn formed a cover, they surrounded Kemp tightly. Even an experienced veteran like Kemp couldn't find who was in the open space for a while.

Although Coleman is unguarded in the middle distance, this guy is a wooden pile after leaving the basket, and passing him is useless.

Just as Kemp was still thinking about who to pass to, Gordon Ford suddenly reached out and slapped him hard on his dribbling arm.

The power of this palm is not insignificant, and Kemp lost control of the ball in the next second.

However, because Ford and Hahn surrounded the referee Kemp too tightly, the referee did not see the specific process of cutting the ball at the first time, so there was no whistle.

And how could Ford give up such a fast break opportunity, he immediately rushed towards the ball, then dribbled the ball and ran to the backcourt, and a gliding dunk came!

Butler University suddenly broke out and scored two goals in a row!

The audience at Lucas Stadium once again set off a wave of cheers.

……

Time passed by, and with Stevens' timeout, Butler University suddenly made an effort in the second half. In just 10 minutes, it overtook the score again and opened the point difference to 8 points.

There are 5 minutes and 30 seconds left before the end of the game.

At this time, Li Kaiming was sitting on the bench. Pastner's rotation tonight was different from the past, allowing him to rest from 10 minutes into the second half until now.

This is also one of the reasons why Butler was able to widen the gap. Without Li Kaiming, it is reasonable for Memphis to be hanged and beaten by Butler.

And now, there are more than five minutes before the end of the game. Although Memphis is still 8 points behind, but today's starter has plenty of physical strength. Pastner believes that at the critical moment of the starting lineup, Memphis is worthy of everyone!

Isn't this a coincidence?Li Kaiming also thought so. After getting the [Key Shooter] badge in the locker room, he couldn't wait to try its effect.

After this timeout, Pastner replaced all the starters, and Stevens on the opposite side also knew that it was the last moment when the bayonet became popular, so he also replaced the starters.

This 5v5 fair competitive game ushered in the last moment to determine the winner.

The audience at Lucas Stadium also resisted the urge to urinate in their brains, because they knew that if they refused to go to the bathroom for the next 5 minutes, their bladders would not burst, and if they gave up the game and went to the bathroom, Then it is possible to miss a crucial moment.

In professional competitions, the situation on the scene changes rapidly, and anything can happen.

The score at this time is Butler 59:51. If they can limit Memphis to less than 60 points tonight, then this year's championship will basically be stable.

No team can challenge a defense like this.

Li Kaiming, who stood on the court, took a deep breath, and the Tigers teammates also had expressions of excitement and nervousness on their faces.

If he wins today, it will be a lot of money. A dark horse has been black since the first round, until the finals of March Madness!

Just thinking about it is exciting!

At the start of the game, Butler served first.

At this time, the ball will naturally be in the hands of the team's core, and Butler, who focuses on the team, is no exception today.

After Zach Hahn dribbled the ball across half court, he passed it to Hayward at a 45-degree angle, then trotted, and squatted obediently in the corner.

Pastner also made a bold change before playing.

He switched positions between Daniel Mack and Elliott Williams, so that it would be Williams on the defensive end against Hayward.

Williams had plenty of rest today, and he had enough physical strength to deal with Hayward in the last 5 minutes.

Although Daniel Mack's defense is not holding back the team, compared with Williams, it is not enough.

Hayward saw that the person facing him turned into Williams, and the expression on his face changed slightly.

Although he is not afraid of the latter, compared to Mike, it is still more difficult to single Williams.

Hayward, who plays with his brain, naturally wouldn't go hard, but beckoned to Hahn on the other side, asking him to come up to cover.

As long as Hahn's screen is successful, Memphis must switch defenses. In this case, if he uses his body in position three to bully Kemp in position one, wouldn't that be easy?
