Derrick Rose, who is wearing the white No. 23 jersey, looks full of confidence. Although he is only in the first grade, his talent is so good. Not only does he have super physical fitness, he also has excellent passing ability. He is known as "Have...

Projection body enhanced version of Jason Kidd”.

Xie Kai, wearing the No. 22 blue jersey, seems so ordinary among the Kansas generals. Apart from his skin color and appearance, there seems to be nothing else impressive about him.

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, the much-anticipated 2008 NCAA Final Four finals were about to begin. Near the center circle of the court, Kansas' Darrell Arthur and Memphis' Robert Dozier prepared to jump the ball.

The scene instantly became much quieter, everyone was waiting for kick-off.

With the referee tossing the ball in the air, Robert Dogier beat Darrell Arthur with a jump ball, giving the Tigers their first possession and the game officially began.

Rose slowly dribbled the ball across half court, and the man guarding him was none other than Kansas University senior Russell Robinson.

Coach Calipari of Memphis advocates a local one-on-one dynamic offense. Different from the traditional play style, pick-and-rolls are rarely seen in his offensive system. The entire team's offense is almost created through the team's transfer.

Create local one-on-one opportunities and use the players' personal abilities to score points or play in singles. Moreover, the team's offense is always at a fast pace and does not give up any fast break opportunities.

At the beginning of the first half, the University of Memphis Tigers took the lead in finding the offensive rhythm. Ross, Dozier and CDR scored one after another, and soon led 9:3.

After Rush made a tip-in under the basket, the first TV timeout entered on the sidelines.

After the timeout, Kansas also found its touch. With a patient team attack, it quickly chased the score to 9:9.

NCAA games are divided into two halves, with each half lasting 20 minutes, and a total of 40 minutes. Therefore, compared with the NBA's 4 quarters of 12 minutes each, a single game has 8 minutes less game time. Not only that, the NCAA only has 20 minutes in the second half of the game.

Or the clock will stop after a goal is scored in the last two minutes of overtime.

But unlike the NBA, where the game time is shorter than the NBA, the offensive time of the NCAA game is not 24 seconds like the NBA, but 35 seconds. Therefore, their average number of offensive rounds per game is less than that of the NBA, and their average points per game are also much lower.

.

The 35-second shot time makes the NCAA's game relatively slow, but for a tactically strong team, this is not a bad thing.

The University of Kansas, which is good at man-to-man defense, launched a zone defense at the beginning of the finals against the University of Memphis. Obviously, this was to target the opponent's number one star Derrick Rose.

The NCAA does not defend for 3 seconds, so the big man can comfortably stay under the basket to protect the frame, which makes breakthrough players find it difficult to attack and defend in the zone.

Even with the opponent's zone defense, Derrick Rose was still unstoppable. His forced breakthrough made it difficult for Kansas senior Russell Robinson. Fortunately, the team had arrangements in advance, and Mario Chalmers would play with him in certain rounds of the game.

Russell Robinson changed positions and used wheel-to-wheel defense to consume the opponent.

Rose's offensive zone defense cannot be said to be difficult, but it still has an impact, because Kansas sometimes even has three people flanking him. However, he showed his side as "Memphis Kidd" at this time, continuously creating opportunities for Ei's teammates, and revitalizing

The team's offense. Of course, under Kansas' high-intensity defense, he also sent two turnovers.

In order to restrict Rose, Kansas' Russell Robinson quickly accumulated two fouls. At this time, there were 11 minutes and 39 seconds left before the end of the first half.

Because of NCAA regulations, a player will be ejected if he accumulates 5 fouls, so in order to protect Russell Robinson, Kansas coach Bill Self made substitution adjustments.

Xie Kai's name was called by the coach.

Xie was so excited that it was finally time for him to play! Today he started playing more than 3 minutes earlier than in the semi-finals. However, he also knew very well that he was able to play early not entirely because the coach trusted him, but also because

Big brother Russell Robinson has the problem of too many fouls.

The on-site commentator was a little surprised when he saw Xie Kai come on the stage and said: "Coach Bill Self replaced Cainshe and asked Cainshe to replace Russell Robinson. Derrick Rose will attack him interestingly."

?”

The University of Memphis Tigers attack. Ross holds the ball from the outside. Facing Chalmers' defense, he changes direction with the ball and breaks inside. His breakthrough attracts a flanker and immediately passes to Ei's CDR.

Xie Kai reacts very quickly, predicts accurately, and defends CDR.

The cdr feinted, but Xie Kai did not falter. He immediately faked and then broke through smoothly. In his opinion, facing Xie Kai, it would be really stupid if he didn't fight. What he didn't expect was that Xie Kai

Kai Kai seemed to be on a drug, stubbornly preventing him from breaking through, not sparing his own body at all, as if he was trying to catch the eye.

cdr is 2 meters tall, but he is not very heavy, and physical confrontation is not his advantage. Therefore, even if he has some advantage in confrontation against Xie Kai, in the face of the opponent's desperate posture, this advantage will hardly allow him to crush the opponent.

.

CDR was forced to a dead ball by Xie Kai, and had no choice but to pass the ball to EI's Ross.

The on-site commentator said in surprise: "Kainshe showed the courage to defend desperately. He strongly blocked CDR's strong breakthrough!"

Rose broke through again, but barely ejected - no!

Darrell Arthur grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Chalmers to dribble through half court.

Kansas still plays a dynamic team offense based on pick-and-cut. Xie Kai provides off-ball screens for his teammates on the outside, using his own shooting threat to create offensive opportunities for his teammates.

Rush got a chance inside, but Dorsey interfered with his layup and missed!

But Arthur tried his best to get an offensive rebound, but was quickly flanked by his opponent!

Arthur passed the ball to Chalmers on the outside in a hurry.

Chalmers feinted to attract the defense and passed to Xie Kai outside the 45-degree 3-point line on the right.

At this time, Xie Kai has an open opportunity!

The on-site commentator shouted: "Can Kane yao she le?"

Xie Kai did indeed shoot, he shot the 3-pointer, but there was a crisp sound of iron, accompanied by a long sigh from the fans at the scene.

Dorsey grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Rose for the conversion.

Kansas immediately went back on defense.

Xie Kai said in his mind while returning to defense: "I have been training day and night with my awareness, but I couldn't grasp such a good 3-point opportunity!"

The University of Memphis Tigers' transition offense is very fast. They are originally a fast-attacking basketball. How can they easily let this opportunity go by when the frontcourt has the opportunity to play more and less?

Rose suddenly hit Dorgier at the bottom of the basket, and the latter caught the ball and dunked with both hands!

The Tigers fans at the scene cheered excitedly, excited for Dojier's dunk.

Memphis leads Kansas by 3 points at 17:14!

The on-site commentator lamented: "Kainshay failed to seize the good opportunity. Kansas was counterattacked by the opponent. Five points were lost after one back and forth. It was obvious that there was a chance to lead by 2 points, but ended up falling behind by 3 points!"
Chapter completed!
