Chapter 7 Playing with Life
Xie Kai focused all his attention on the court, regardless of how the fans on the sidelines scolded him. Since coming to the United States and joining the high school basketball team, he has often heard scoldings from those who looked down on him.
Several years have passed, and he has heard all kinds of unpleasant things, and he has become accustomed to them.
If he hadn't come to the United States to pursue his basketball dream, he really wouldn't be interested in coming here. It's not as civilized as those "cents" boast, but he has experienced all kinds of discrimination and violence.
The game continues.
Chalmers dribbled the ball across half court, and Arthur came out for a pick-and-roll.
Xie Kai moves without the ball and takes away the defender.
Chalmers broke through and passed the ball to Rush outside the 3-point line on the left wing.
Rush feinted and then scored again, and the ball went into Arthur's hands.
Arthur missed the hook, but Xie Kai grabbed the rebound from Dorsey without risking his life!
The on-site commentator exclaimed: "Kaneshe is playing with his life!"
Xie opened the pass to Chalmers on the outside, who shot a 3-pointer - still nothing!
Rose collected the rebound and started sprinting from the backcourt.
Kansas returned to defense very quickly, and Rose did not find an opportunity to play more in the frontcourt than in the frontcourt. He immediately slowed down, slowed down the offensive rhythm, and slowly organized.
"Derek is really a good point guard and can reasonably adjust the team's offensive speed!" the on-site commentator praised.
CDR reached for the ball and Rose passed it over.
cdr held the ball and faced Xie Kai's defense. It was obvious that he wanted to force the ball. He was quite unhappy when the opponent blocked the ball just now. He never took the opponent seriously, and even felt that Kansas coach Self
Letting such a role player defend you is a slight on yourself.
After cdr held the ball and made a fake move, he changed direction and walked in. What surprised him was that Xie Kai's lateral movement speed was quite good, and he was not able to get rid of the opponent easily.
What surprised CDR even more was that Xie Kai did not defend passively, but kept putting pressure on him. The defense was extremely oppressive and he did not hesitate to use any force.
The on-site commentator said in surprise: "Kainshay's defense is very tight. He doesn't care about his physical exertion at all. With such defensive investment, can he last until the end of the game?"
Of course Xie Kai knows that his defense is very energy-consuming, but he doesn't care. He is just a substitute. He doesn't have to think about playing the whole game or the number of fouls. Anyway, he just burns when he comes on the court. He just does it. If you are afraid of this or that, then just
It's going to hold the team back, so it's better to go home.
The cdr face frame was almost broken, so he immediately turned his back, trying to use his strength and height to forcefully eat Xie Kai.
Xie Kai resisted the opponent's attack without giving in at all. His tough performance shocked the University of Memphis wing star CDR.
cdr is not good at strength, so facing Xie Kai's desperate defense, he really doesn't have much advantage. But in this situation, if he doesn't fight, he will be embarrassed to participate in the draft. His heart is crossed
, he forced himself inside, then turned around and prepared for a jump shot.
An unexpected scene appeared for him. Just now, he was desperately holding on to his own strength, but he suddenly lost his strength without any warning.
cdr never expected that Xie Kaihui, who had been fighting for his life just now, would suddenly make a move. He suddenly lost his center of gravity because he could not use his strength. In order to prevent himself from falling, he couldn't help but walk a few more steps...
"Beep beep——" the referee's whistle sounded, go!
Calipari, the head coach of the University of Memphis, complained to the referee that Xie Kai's small move should be a defensive foul, but the referee still insisted on the penalty.
Coach Self of the University of Kansas applauded. He was very satisfied with Xie Kai's move of "removing the stool." In his view, an excellent defense should not just confront the tough and "show weakness" at the right time. Sometimes it can achieve
Better results.
At this moment, the University of Kansas made a substitution, and Arthur was replaced by Russian hunk Sasha Cowan.
Kansas ball!
Chalmers dribbled the ball across half court, used Zhu Kao'en's pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and broke through Rush in the right corner.
Rush cut in from the baseline and passed to Darnell Jackson in the high post.
Darnell Jackson encountered a double attack and was given to Xie Kai outside the 3-point line on the left wing.
Xie Kai feinted a gun, swung his CDR, and made a sudden jump shot - still nothing!
"Kainshe missed the open shot again, man, stop taking shots, you have no shooting talent!" the on-site commentator said.
Dojier collected the rebound and handed it to Rose to advance.
On the University of Memphis Tigers' side, Ross forced his way to the basket, causing Cowan to foul.
Rose steps to the free throw line.
Rose made two free throws to help the team lead the opponent by 5 points at 19:14.
The on-site commentary said: "Kansas is in trouble now. Since Cainshe came on the field, Derek has been indirectly liberated, and they are now 5 points behind."
Coach Self, the head coach of the University of Kansas, doesn’t think so. Although Xie Kai missed both shots, he had opportunities. Under such circumstances, as an outside shooter, it would be unacceptable if he hesitates to take action.
.
Kansas continues to attack!
Through movement without the ball and cooperation with blocking and cutting, the ball was transferred and reached the hands of Xie Kai outside the 3-point line on the left.
Because the first two open shots were missed, Memphis didn't take him seriously, thinking that even if he took the shot, he wouldn't be successful. CDR, who was responsible for defending Ei, even thought that this handsome East Asian thin man
, he probably couldn’t withstand the pressure and would choose to pass the ball.
In this case, CDR did not try his best to pounce out. He wanted to see if this man who was like a wolf on the defensive end was still so confident and like a tough guy when he encountered a cold touch on the offensive end.
Unexpectedly, Xie Kai didn't hesitate at all. He didn't even make too many adjustments. When faced with an open opportunity, he shot a 3-pointer without hesitation...
The 10 players present, including the bench players on the sidelines, members of the coaching staff, and the fans at the scene, all watched the ball. This ball is important to both sides, and it is even more important to Kansas, which is lagging behind.
"Wha—" The ball hit the net hollowly!
Xie Kai finally opened the pot!
Not only did Xie Kai breathe a sigh of relief, but Coach Self on the sidelines also felt a lot more comfortable. He liked this young man Xie Kai very much. Such a hard-working kid and such a tough player should not be so lucky.
Difference.
You know, Xie Kai's 3-point shooting percentage this season was close to 40%!
With Xie Kai's 3-pointer, Kansas closed the gap to only 2 points!
Xie Kai's 3-pointer put more pressure on Memphis on the defensive end. They didn't dare to let him shoot 3-pointers easily anymore. The 3-pointers were too lethal. They worked hard to kill the basket.
If you play, you can only get 2 points, but if you use a cold gun, you may get 3 points!
"Kaneshe finally made a 3-pointer! Memphis is still too negligent. I know that players from East Asia are good at shooting!" The on-site commentator began to justify himself.
The University of Kansas fans at the scene began to cheer. They looked at Xie Kai instantly and were not so disgusted now. You know that they just saw him miss an open shot and was counterattacked by the opponent. They really wanted to throw him into the Pacific Ocean to feed the fish.
