068 Viral Victory
The moment the referee made a gesture of forced departure for Green, the atmosphere in the Minnesota Circular stadium exploded.
"O God!"
“F**k you!”
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Michigan State University fans widened their eyes, hugged their heads with their hands, screamed wildly, and various actions showed their panic mentality to the fullest. A main substitute was expelled from the game just after the ninth and a half minutes of the game, and when the team was 11 points behind, it would be very difficult to play in the future when facing such a strong opponent.
Some of the Spartan players covered their heads with towels, some were at a loss, some were so anxious that they stamped their feet, some ran up to stop Green, who was about to fight with Li Zhe, and many staff members were dissuading each other, and the scene was very chaotic.
Head coach Tom Zoe threw away the tactical board and rushed to the referee, his cheeks flushed red, and he kept asking why.
In an elimination game, if you lose a main substitute, rotation and tactics will be affected. What's more, Morgan has already made a foul, which is very easy to become a breakthrough for the Trojans.
The referee didn't speak, but just raised his hand to point at the big screen, as if saying: Let's see for yourself.
Green's expression was very regretful, but soon turned into a fierce hatred, and the target was naturally Li Zhe.
After some entanglement, the Spartans accepted the facts and returned to the bench to discuss tactics.
In the commentary seat, Gais sighed: "Maybe it was because of the pre-match storm and the continuous suppression of this game. Drummond Green was a little impulsive in his behavior, and the provocation just now was completely unnecessary."
Moore continued: "The referee didn't want to foul, and that goal was just Green subconsciously wanted to send it to his teammates. Moreover, the game has been suspended, and it was Jamie Lee who took the initiative to provoke it."
Gais shook his head when he heard this but did not continue the topic: "Look at how the Spartans will respond."
…
Trojans bench, head coach Tim sat in a folding chair with tactical board in his hand.
"We are doing very well at the moment, and Jamie plays particularly well and continues to do so."
"The opponent suffered a continuous loss because of Jamie's singles. He may take double-teams next, and others should be prepared."
"We are now leading by 11 points, and we can take advantage of the victory and fight more fast attacks to further destroy the opponent's fighting spirit."
After Tim finished speaking, he stood up and left, and the sound of the whistle that was about to end came out.
Li Zhe and DeRozan raised their hands, the whole team gathered together and shouted in unison: 123letsgo.
The game continued in a blink of an eye, and the referee signaled to execute a technical foul free throw first.
Amid the deafening booings of the audience, Li Zhe hit a steadily.
The two teams scored 24-12, and Li Zhe also scored 20 points and 2 assists.
The Spartans attacked, Walter received the ball in the backcourt and rushed to the top of the arc to stop and pass the ball to the right wing.
Lucas received the ball, and took three threat postures to continuously test the ball, and made a fake shot and real pass to hang the ball to the inside.
Sauton took the ball from the low post on the right, played Vucevic single with his back, and suddenly turned back and threw the ball after a strong top.
Hit! The two teams scored 24-14.
The 10-point gap brings hope to Michigan fans, and cheers sound again, like a long drought and rain.
The Trojans made an attack when the side changed their sides, Li Zhe dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and continued to play Walter alone. He first changed hands under his crotch and took a strong breakthrough, then stopped the ball and turned around and swung it away, easily breaking through to the free throw line.
Lucas and Morgan rushed up instantly, double-teaming from the left and Walter also chased from the rear.
Being attacked from three sides and the situation was in danger, Li Zhe jumped decisively and divided the ball from behind.
Marcus took the ball 45 degrees from the right and aimed at the rim and threw a three-pointer.
Swish, the basketball is hollowed into the net, and the Trojans bench players collectively fell backwards like international superstars!
The goals are wonderful, but the passes are even more exciting!
The large screen shot on the scene gave the magician on the sidelines, and his face was full of pain.
The Spartans attacked, Walter dribbled the ball to the right wing and raised his hand to ask for a pick-and-roll from the side.
Morgan stepped forward and raised a wall to block Li Zhe. Walter took the opportunity to rush to the bottom line, and Gibson moved across the defense.
Morgan caught the ball down and faced Li Zhe from a low post, playing big and small, gaining a height advantage, decisively closing the ball and jumping the ball.
Hit, the score becomes 27 to 16.
Vucevic picked up the basketball, stepped out of the baseline in one step, and served quickly.
Li Zhe received the ball and rushed hard. After more than two seconds, he crossed the center line. Only Walter followed him. When he reached the three-point line, Lucas and Loo surrounded him, forming a three-sided attack on the back and left and right sides.
The stoppage will inevitably be surrounded and it is very difficult to pass the ball. Li Zhe made up his mind and decided to rush to the end.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the free throw line, but the Spartan trio chased him like a hungry dog. Li Zhe believed that he could not score against the defense, so he quickly slipped around the bottom line to the bottom corner and hurriedly passed the ball to the middle.
DeRozan, who followed up, got the ball and took three steps in a row and one-handed buckle, causing Morgan to make a second foul.
Michigan fans have broken their faces, and their predictions for the game have changed from being ‘very hard to play’ to ‘possibly lose’.
Worry turned into booing in the blink of an eye, but DeRozan made a steady hit and scored 30-16.
The Spartans requested a short thirty-second pause, and the live footage was given to the bench, and Tom Zoe gave a passionate explanation with a tactical board in his hand.
In the commentary seat, Moore clenched his fists: "The game situation is a bit difficult for Michigan, but I believe they will catch up."
Gais nodded: "For them, the first attack after the timeout is very critical, otherwise it will be easy to be discouraged."
The pause ends between conversations.
The Spartans attacked, Walter dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and the team stood in four outside and one inside.
Lucas started from the right wing, received Walter's hand-passing ball and rushed to the left 45 bet, passing the ball to the oncoming Lou, who then used Walter's second cover to get rid of DeRozan and Marcus, rushed to the right 45 degrees and pushed Li Zhe to break through.
Li Zhe was chasing and encountered a pick-and-roll behind Sorton, but even though Vucevic switched defense, he chose to chase him.
Loho was faster and rushed to the basket and took the lever. At almost the same time, Gibson took the initiative to give up Morgan, slid to the basket, and stared at the basketball and jumped high.
When we met on a narrow road, Luo Ou was timid and chose to divide the ball.
Morgan received the ball, rushed to the basket with two steps in a row, and took off at close range to hit the board.
Bang! The basketball rebounded and rolled into the basket frame. Perhaps it was too strong, and after rebounding back and forth, it actually came out of the frame.
Four people jumped and fought for the basket, and the basketball was under force and flew out of the boundary.
At this moment, the Spartans' bench stood up and pointed towards the frontcourt, while the Trojans' bench shouted the backcourt ball.
But at the same time, Li Zhe rushed out of the boundary, snatched the ball with one hand in the air, and pushed it into the field vigorously.
DeRozan received the ball from the three-point line, turned around and rushed hard, running like a wild horse.
Walter and Lucas were determined to catch up, but they were blocked by Marcus at the first time.
DeRozan rushed to the basket, slowed down and dunked the windmill!
32 to 16! Michigan fans looked extremely nervous!
The carefully arranged offense failed, Tom Zoe's expression was a little frustrated, and the Spartans' players were confused.
The game was soon as Gaes predicted, and the fighting spirit of Spartans players dropped sharply.
After the first half, the two teams scored 43 to 26.
Such a gap is not because the Spartans are too low, but the Trojans are too high.
As the game entered the second half, the Spartans were interested in grabbing three-pointers, and their shooting percentage was OK, but after they gave up double-teaming, Li Zhe's single success rate was extremely high, and his score was almost completely offset.
In the end, the Trojans defeated the Spartans 72-57 and successfully advanced to the Sweet Sixteen.
Li Zhe scored 32 points and 11 assists, DeRozan scored 18 points, and other players scored a total of 30 points.
After accepting a sideline interview, Li Zhe was about to leave, and Magic Johnsont called him.
"You played very well tonight, and the passes were very beautiful several times, and my impression of you has changed a lot. This is my mobile number. If you need point guard advice, you can call me during work."
Li Zhe took over the business card, and the legendary player in front of him who made the Lakers deeply in crisis made him slightly complicated.
There was nothing to say, so he expressed his gratitude and turned around and left.
