Chapter 67 Advance to the finals!
The University of Texas insider was on the verge of confrontation.
Whether it is Dexter Pittman who is present, Connor Archley who is present before, or Matt Hill who will play later, the defense is no longer restricted.
Because Rick Barnes told them that the foul is OK, but the attack must be heavy.
Of course, it is not the kind of unlimited heavy, malicious foul or something, which is still undesirable.
In other words, even if it is a foul, it must be within the scope permitted by the rules.
But for Archili and the others, it is enough to let them foul, at least, their defense is no longer limited.
According to Rick Barnes's instructions, stare at Oden's left side. Once Oden takes the opportunity to attack to the right side, it will immediately be a fierce foul.
In this way, Dexter Pittman lost his fifth foul. Rick Barnes waved his hand and replaced the third center Matt Hill who had hardly played this season.
The injured right arm was repeatedly targeted, and the one who was bound to become Greg Oden.
Although he longs for an NCAA championship, the latter is more important than the subsequent NBA draft.
You should know that drafts are not only the difference in rankings, but also the difference in salary behind the rankings.
At about 2007, the salary of the No. 1 pick could reach about 4.7 million US dollars, but the second pick was only 4.2 million US dollars. The difference between one pick was a full 500,000 US dollars.
For poor blacks and not wealthy rookies, it is no longer a small number.
Oden didn't want to see his injury worsen, which would affect subsequent draft picks.
In addition to this game, the University of Texas has always been in the lead, with little lead, and Ohio State has always had a chance to turn the tables.
But it’s just a chance. The opportunity is big or small, and the big Ohio State, which has been suppressed by the rhythm, is obviously slim.
Holding his right arm that was already a little red and felt more and more intense, Oden gradually had only one arm left, and he tried to avoid using his right arm as much as possible.
Li Ke continued to perform a variety of pick-and-roll cooperation with Du Xiao, and made continuous mid-range shots and three-point shots, and the offense was as smooth as ever.
Ohio State's big offense stagnated a little, and the score gap almost widened to double digits in the blink of an eye.
The situation was on the verge of collapse, and Thadmata immediately called for a timeout.
"KD's mid-range shot hit, the score gap reached 11 points, and Ohio State suddenly burst into a breath."
"But Sardmata hasn't given up yet. He called for a timeout and should adjust and show some trump card."
After a pause, Xiao Du hooked Li Ke's shoulder and walked to the sidelines with a happy pace.
The score leads and the situation is very good. They are only a dozen minutes away from the final.
"Try harder and don't let go of your guard and make sure that we are still the leading side at the end of the game!"
After pausing, there was nothing to emphasize. Rick Barnes said some nice words and ended the pause.
By contrast, Ohio State is very nervous.
Sardmata has indeed not given up on this game, and he spent a minute adjusting his offense and defense at the same time.
One minute was not enough, and the referee urged twice before Sadmata let go of Mike Conley's shoulder and patted his favorite player: "Go, Mike, we still have a chance!"
"The game has started over, see what OHS has trump cards..."
There is no trump card, some are learned and sold on the spot.
Ohio State's big offense, Dai Quinn Cook rushed to the top of the arc and gave Conley a pick-and-roll.
Then, the University of Texas, who was not prepared, changed defense directly.
Li Ke faced Dai Quinn Cook, Conley faced D.j. Augustine again, and shot a one-on-one shot and jumped.
"It's actually a pick-and-roll, but the quality of Dai Quinn Cook's pick-and-roll is average, and Sheldon should choose to cover the screen."
It’s not that Li Ke didn’t go around to cover the cover, but that Augustine changed defense directly. If he wanted to go around, his teammates would have to cooperate.
Rick Barnes saw this and stood on the sidelines and angrily scolded Augustine: "DJ, don't change defense!"
Turning his head, he also cursed in a low voice like Sadmata: "This guy has no ac at all. He knows he can't help but change his defense even though he doesn't know he can't help!"
The University of Texas was not in a hurry to get a ball stolen on the defensive end, because at this moment, their most stable is the offense.
"Sheldon and KD's pick-and-roll cooperation, and after blocking, he broke back, but Ron Lewis rushed towards KD? This... has shelton been empty?"
In the commentary, Shannon Sharp was puzzled by Ohio State's sudden change in defense strategy. Then, he saw Mike Conley appearing in front of Li Ke.
"Mike Conley made up, Ohio State's big defense was concentrated on the strong side, and now the weak side d.j. Augustine is released!"
Xiao Du jumped up a pass and found Augustine who was not far away.
A three-pointer in the open space, d.j. Augustine naturally would not miss it. He raised his hand and hit the ball successfully with a swish.
On the sidelines, Sardmata frowned. Such a defense was very risky, but he had no choice but to defend himself like this.
At least, this way of preventing you from strangling the two people to kill Li Ke and Xiao Du.
Whether you can seize the slim opportunity to complete the turnaround depends on the next attack.
It was still a pick-and-roll that was imitating, Augustine was scolded and stopped changing her defense.
Li Ke decisively took cover and met Kangli again...
"Sheldon was too fast, so I said that the quality of Daequen Cook's cover was very poor and could not stop Sheldon at all!"
The pick-and-roll effect was too poor, and Kang Li stopped and failed to hit the ball when facing Li Ke.
Ohio State just now has a little improvement in the offense and it is gone...
Attack, you can't attack; defense, you can't defend; Ohio State has the only advantage that Oden has left at the basket, and it has no other use except to grab a little more rebounds.
The score gap is like an avalanche, and it cannot be stopped.
"After persisting, Ohio State finally collapsed."
Next, Ohio's big dying struggle was coming.
Ten minutes later, when the game ended timer beeped, the University of Texas ensured that they were still the lead in the score.
CBS's commentator also shouted and announced the victory of the University of Texas:
"The competition is over!"
"The University of Texas Austin President Horns won the semi-finals. They were completely at a disadvantage in public opinion before the game. After the game began, they completed a counterattack!"
"They got their first ticket to the 2007 NCAA Finals!"
The Zhongwu Live Room, which has a completely different style, is in the same situation this time.
Yu Jia shouted in a rough voice: "It's over, the game is over. The University of Texas where Li Ke is located won the game. They entered the finals and had the opportunity to compete for the highest honor of the American College Basketball League!"
Then there was a voice of Director Zhang who was not too slow but also a hint of excitement: "In this game, Li Ke's performance was quite good. The score of 34 points was the highest score in this game!"
Li Ke scored 34 points because his opponent always let him go in the second half of the game.
However, Xiao Du was the one who was always being taken care of by his opponents. Despite this, he finally scored a 29 point, only 5 points lower than Li Ke.
On the opposite side, Oden blocked the God of Killing in the first half of the time, but shrank 30 points in the second half, which was the highest in the Ohio State team.
In the semi-finals and the top scorer, Li Ke, the dark horse, rushed out and snatched the highest-scoring championship in the game.
Of course, if you count the other data carefully, Li Ke would be very unsatisfied. He grabbed 5 rebounds, sent 3 assists, and completed 3 steals.
But the other two protagonists, Du, grabbed 11 rebounds, sent 10 assists, plus 1 steal and 1 block, and each scored.
Oden is not bad at all, with 17 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 5 big hats, which is simply a living meat grinder in the penalty area.
But the live broadcast room of Yangwu completely ignored the other four data.
Director Zhang even sighed: "If you continue to play like this, Li Ke is expected to win the mop in the semi-finals!"
"Oh by the way, let's explain the mop in this semifinals. It is the same as the mvp in the NBA finals. It only counts the two games of the semifinals and finals. The best performance is the mop."
Yu Jia explained, and Director Zhang spoke a strange accent and read the full name of mop: "Muste, Ultras calm, Pulai's son, this is what the most outstanding player means."
On the court, Li Ke, the person involved, could not have thought that far away.
At the moment the game ended, his brain was blank, leaving only a completely overflowing excitement, excitement, and uncontrollable emotions.
He raised his hands high, enjoyed the cheers of 30,000 to 40,000 fans in the Georgia Dome for a while, and then hugged the excited little Du.
"We're in the finals!"
"NCAA champion, the longhorn is here!"
