Rose was consuming time and also looking for mistakes in the opponent's defense. Although there was pressure on the University of Memphis Tigers, they still led by 2 points and currently had the ball.

With 10 seconds left before the 35-second attack time, Rose started. He faced Chalmers' defense without using a screen, used his super explosive power, changed and forced a breakthrough inside.

Kansas almost instinctively shrank the defensive zone.

With a fierce look in his eyes, Rose carried his bag and moved forward bravely! When he reached the paint area, he threw his body into the air, not caring about the risk of injury.

Cowan and Arthur, two big men on the Kansas side, took off vertically with their arms raised...

The fans on the sidelines can clearly hear the sound caused by the collision of muscles. The intensity of this confrontation is completely at the NBA level.

Rose's layup missed and Rush grabbed the backboard.

But - the referee's whistle sounded -

Although the whistle sounded a little late, it still sounded——

This penalty is very critical, and there is no difference in the criticality of the shooting foul that Xie made just now.

The players on the Kansas side protested the penalty to the referee, and Cowan repeatedly indicated that he took off vertically without any additional movements.

However, the referee firmly believed that his decision was correct and could not be changed.

This is Cowan's fifth personal foul, because according to NCAA regulations, he will be sent off!

Cowan's penalty made Kansas fans feel very sorry. Since he came on the court, his screens, defense, and rebounds have left a deep impression on the fans.

Taking over from Kao En was big white man Cole Aldridge.

Rose gets to the free throw line again!

"Derek used his body to carve out two free throw opportunities. This is really strong!" the on-site commentator exclaimed.

Although there was controversy, Rose still walked to the free throw line smoothly. At this time, the pressure was on him again. In the previous two "11" free throws, he failed to hit them!

Rose adjusted his breathing and took his first free throw. As a result, the ball still failed to hit...

Fans of the University of Memphis Tigers sighed. Although Rose's free throw shooting percentage this season is not at the top level, it is still relatively stable, and it is definitely not the level of consecutive misses. But there is no way, the reality is so cruel.

Fortunately, Rose made his second free throw, and the University of Memphis finally scored.

With Rose's 1 point, the University of Memphis leads the University of Kansas by 3 points at 59:56! At this time, there are 48 seconds left before the end of the game. For them, the current situation is very favorable, as long as they can

If we can defend against this wave of attacks, we will basically have the championship within our grasp.

Both teams have no timeouts, so no one dares to take the risk of violating the rules and do such dangerous things. You must know that Chris Webber of Michigan State University ended up losing because of a non-existent timeout.

NCAA finals.

Chalmers dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Arthur at the elbow.

Xie Kai moves without the ball, but he is the opponent's key defensive target. Because the point difference between the two teams is exactly a 3-point gap, and because he is currently the highest-scoring player on both teams.

The University of Kansas naturally wanted to score 3 points, but they did not refuse the opportunity to quickly score two points. Considering the opponent's poor free throws, they could have scored two points and then used foul tactics to send the opponent to the free throw line.

This is a challenge for the University of Memphis' defense, because they can't only consider defending 3-pointers. This is actually why they are paying for their poor free throws. If the free throws are more accurate and they lead by 4 or 5 points, the defense can be better.

Bold.

Kansas's weakness is obvious, that is, it lacks a ball-handling point. Xie Kai's touch was incredible in this game, but he does not have Rose's ability to resist zha yao packages, so the team can only find suitable players through blocking and cutting.

Opportunity to take action.

Here Arthur and Xie Kai exchange hands, the latter gets the ball, and the former quickly passes it down.

Xie Kai was double-teamed, but he did not choose to force a 3-point shot. Instead, he calmly hit Arthur from between the two opponents.

Arthur caught the ball, took a step forward, and dunked in through Dorsey!

Dorsey also tried his best and faced him forcefully. It felt like sparks colliding with the earth!

"Oh, y god!" the on-site commentator shouted loudly.

But Arthur's violent dunk failed. He was very unlucky. The ball passed through Dorsey's block and hit the basket!

The ball bounced straight towards the top of the arc, and both Chalmers and Rose jumped up to fight for the ball.

The situation changed so quickly that the fans at the scene felt that their eyes could hardly keep up with the changes on the screen.

However, neither player was able to control the ball in the end, and Chalmers fought hard to hit the ball to Xie Kai on the right wing.

It was such a moment of CDR's daze that gave Xie Kai a chance to shoot a 3-pointer. He barely made any adjustments when catching the ball and didn't even take aim. He quickly threw the ball based on his feeling...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, the ball traveled quickly toward the basket.

"Click--" The ball barely hit the basket!

A 3-pointer, this is undoubtedly a 3-pointer! Xie Kai was still more than half a meter away from the 3-point line when he shot, so there is no dispute at all.

The Kansas fans at the scene almost fainted with excitement. Unexpectedly, at the last moment of the game, the home team miraculously equalized the score! And the person who helped the team achieve all this was actually the under-popular yellow man Xie Kai!

Even Coach Self, who has always been calm, hugged his assistant excitedly. The feeling of escaping from death was much more exciting than defeating his opponent.

Even though there was still a chance to end the game within regular time, the University of Memphis was all in tears, because for them, this was almost like a cooked duck.

Kansas did not celebrate because the game was not over yet. There were 172 seconds left before the end of the game.

In the last attack, as Rose's jumper missed, the two sides entered overtime tied at 59!

Entering overtime! The reactions of the two sides after learning the result were completely different. The Kansas side was ecstatic, as if they had won the championship; while the Memphis side was as sad as if an elder in the family had died.

.

The court took a temporary break to prepare for the more exciting overtime.

NCAA overtime is 5 minutes and the rules are the same as NBA.

Because Xie Kai hit that magical 3-pointer that tied the score, his teammates' respect and favorability for him greatly increased, as if he was the core of the team.
Chapter completed!
