040 Best Assists
As the USC singing and dancing girls pose for the last dance pose, the background music "I Kissed A Girl" in the venue suddenly ended, and the fans on the scene applauded and then the whistle sounded, and the second half of the game officially started.
The Trojans are still controlled by Hackett, Li Zhe is the main attacker, and the other three are responsible for providing unball covers and ensuring defensive rebounds. The Sequoia team is relatively evenly distributed on the offensive end, and the defensive end is marked by people.
Li Zhe's touch has decreased but is still efficient. However, Stephenson and Mamadu have poor single defense effects, and other points will be missed when arranging assisted defense. Therefore, although the Trojans are ahead, the score difference has never exceeded 5 points.
After the first TV pause, coach Tim replaced Li Zhe with a rest and prepared to fight for the last 10 minutes.
I thought that after the substitution, the Sequoia team gave up man-to-man and turned to double-teamed ball holders.
Hackett was difficult to adapt. Marcus, who came on the bench, had a poor offense and his offense was stagnant many times. Coach Tim's timeout adjustment was of little success. The Sequoia seized the opportunity to play a wave and quickly tied the score and completed the overtake.
Taking advantage of the free throw, Tim waved to the bench, and Li Zhe stood up and took off his coat and walked towards the technical table.
In the commentary seat, Hammer held a data sheet, "The game is over 10 minutes to finish, Jamie Lee has scored 37 points, and there is a high chance of scoring 50 points. We are witnessing the birth of the legend."
"Haha." Perry tilted his head and curled his lips. "This style of play is very deformed and it is difficult to win the game. He himself took a break for nearly five minutes, but other players kept playing and his physical strength was obviously overdrawn."
Hammer shook his head and sighed: "It was originally three substitute players who played, and the effect of substitutions would be worse. Moreover, Stanford only had three short-term substitutions. This game was destined to be a tough battle."
After the words came to his voice, Hackett received the ball in the backcourt and advanced to the top of the arc to pass it to Li Zhe.
The Sequoia temporarily gave up double-teaming, Guz blocked the right and left, Will and Lawrence guarded the basket, Fields and Mickey circled forward to defend others to stop the pass, and the team cooperated very closely.
Li Zhe held the ball with the right wing and set up three threatening postures, and continuously tried to adjust his body's face and center of gravity. Seeing that Guz had a large deviation from the left, he immediately pushed the ground and dribbled the ball to the right, rushed to the free throw line and stopped and jumped to the jump shot.
The basketball was hollowed into the net, 51 to 53, and scored 39 points alone.
DJ shouted loudly at the 'Best Player', and the fans agreed in unison.
Li Zhe landed and retreated quickly, rushed to the front three-point line and stopped, and carefully observed the running of the Sequoia players.
Fields rushed to the right bottom corner, Mickey rushed to the left short corner, Will stood at the basket, Lawrence stopped on the right wing, and finally Guz brought the ball to the top of the arc, raised his hand and stretched out three fingers with his left hand.
A large number of offensive videos flashed quickly in Li Zhe's mind. After filtering through the three finger marks, it was quickly recognized that this was a bottom line cross-blocking without the ball. As long as the running was successfully completed, three catch points would appear.
Considering that his teammates are exhausted seriously and are easily distracted or lost in defense, they must not give the Sequoia team time to run, Li Zhe hurriedly took a step forward and pressed like lightning.
Guzra dodged the ball and rushed to the inside line. The Sequoia's tactics came to an abrupt end.
Li Zhe turned around, stretched his left hand and raised his right hand, always keeping chasing.
The two of them came to the free throw line in the blink of an eye. Guz collected the ball and started the layup, and Li Zhe jumped.
But the basketball did not fly to the rebound, but flew to the left sideline and fell into Mickey's hands.
Guz was afraid, and landed on the ground and went back to the top of the arc to catch the ball, and redirected his teammates to run.
He could not observe the position of others with his back to the ring, and it was difficult to determine that it was the tactic. Li Zhexin continued to press on his fingers.
Guz changed hands behind his back and avoided the ball and rushed to the inside line, while Li Zhe moved to chase him horizontally, with no speed or slowness and calmness.
The two came to the free throw line again, and Guz stopped and jumped out, his body movements were a little distorted due to interference.
With a clang, Li Zhe scored a rebound and turned around and advanced.
When he reached the center line, he turned his hand and dribbled the ball from behind his back, passing through Mickey and Lawrence's double-team, and then pulled the ball forward twice in a row with one-handed body and shaking away Fields. Finally, he rushed to the basket and hit the one-handed buckle!
Scored 4 points in a row, tied 53-53, and the Sequoia requested a timeout.
In the commentary seat, Hammer clenched his fist hard, with an excited expression, "It's still 9 points away from getting 50 points, and the game just ends with 9 minutes. It's very easy to get 1 point per minute, unless Stanford uses the three-person double-team tactic."
Perry shrugged, "Stanford's defense this season is relatively poor, and overall strength is relatively weak. Moreover, Jamie Lee occupies 90% of the USC's ball rights, and getting 50 points is just a little luck."
Hammer frowned, "It can at least show that his future prospects are bright."
Perry shook his head, "Although Adam Morrison has not scored 50 points, he averaged 28.1 points per game in college. He can quickly slide down after entering the NBA, and there are many other examples."
Hammer turned a deaf ear and suddenly looked up at the high-rise stands. "It seems that Jamie's rampage attracted many people to watch the game. The director just told me that the stadium, which was originally only half full, now has zero empty seats."
On the field, after the two teams tied, their respective strategies changed one after another.
On the Sequoia, the offensive action was concentrated on Fields and Lawrence, and the defensive end was double-teamed in advance, while the Trojans changed to Li Zhe as the main controller, Hackett attacked, and the other three continued to cover without the ball and ensured defensive rebounds.
The two teams led the scores alternately, and they played until the last 25 seconds, with a score of 69 to 68.
After a timeout, the Sequoia attacked.
Guz dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, raised his left hand and stretched out three fingers, and tried the line cross-blocking tactic again.
Li Zhe tried to press, but Guz frequently dodged but did not rush into the inside, so he could only retreat and command the defense.
Unfortunately, the speed was a little slow. Fields had already rushed to the basket and crossed Mickey without the ball to cover it. Then he used Will to set the point when the pick-and-roll rushed to the left bottom corner, while Mickey rushed to the right wing with the help of Lawrence's cover.
Seeing that the two were in place, Guz immediately passed the ball to the right wing, and Li Zhe slid and rushed.
Then he thought that Mickey did not take action, but passed the ball back to Guz, who raised his hand with the opportunity.
Mamadu hurried forward to block the cover, but the basketball had already flown to the ring.
Hollow into the net, 69 to 71, with only 8 seconds left before the end of the game.
Coach Tim asked for a timeout, and the fans who cheered the whole game were speechless. Do you want to lose?
Perry clapped his hands and laughed, "Perfect! Mickey's legend can be counted as the best assist in this game, and even the Pacific League's Big Ten this season, with great significance and great impact!"
Hammer looked coldly, "The game is not over yet. If Jamie Lee scored 50 points in three-pointer and scored a final goal, can he be selected as the best goal in the United States this season?"
Perry raised his head and laughed, "Three people surrounded Jamie Lee, two people surrounded Hackett, give it as much as 2 points!"
Hammer didn't know how to refute it and was speechless for a moment.
On the bench, Tim handed the tactical board to Li Zhe, "You draw a tactic yourself."
The players were shocked, and could they still let them draw tactics? But Li Zhe decisively received it.
Since there is a high-difficulty shooting bonus, you can definitely try it!
In a few words, Li Zhe finished the tactics and then repeated the explanation.
The sound of the whistle sounded when the pause ended. Mamadu stood on the left side line, Hackett stood on the bottom corner on the left, and Li Zhe stood on the right side line.
The Sequoia team guarded Hackett one by one, surrounded Li Zhe, and stood on the top of the arc.
The referee blew the whistle, the technical desk began to time, the audience stood up and shouted, and Li Zhe bent down.
Five/He doesn't move at all, four/He faces to the left, three/He kicks off the ground, two/He accelerates and sprints, one/He stops and runs backwards.
At the same time, Hackett rushed to the left wing with the help of Case and Stephenson's double cover, received a pass from Mamadu to the top of the arc, and passed the ball hard to the unguarded Li Zhe.
With only 3 seconds left, Fields and Mickey chased each other in a blink of an eye, and there was a Guz in front of him, but Li Zhe ignored him and directly pulled the ball and jumped horizontally, drifting in the air to shoot!
Fields and the other two flew to cover the cover, Li Zhe fell to the ground with a bang, and the basketball flew quickly in the air.
Scarlet! The basketball is hollowed into the net, with a 72-71 win!
Hammer threw away the headphones one by one, clenched his fists and roared, "Best assist!"
In the Grand Central Arena, the cheers were like walking at the intersection of Chunxi Road and suddenly took off the BOSE noise-cancelling headphones. The sound poured into the eardrums from all directions, as if suddenly entering another world.
Li Zhe got up with a carp and opened his hands to rush towards Breer who was drinking juice. He thought that Breer actually pulled Natasha over and blocked him, and Natasha also hugged and kissed him.
Seeing this, the fans at the scene booed with kindness. Before Li Zhe came to his senses, he thought that Blair rushed up to kiss.
The Gran Center Stadium exploded, and several crazy female fans in the front row thought it was a benefit, so they rushed towards Li Zhe.
Chapter completed!
