Chapter 9 Coach Self's Limit Adjustment

Because this unplanned man suddenly showed off his power in the first half, Memphis coach Calipari was a little unexpected. In order to prevent the East Asian young man from disrupting the situation again in the second half, he paid special attention to him during the halftime break.

cdr: "Don't let No. 22 Kaneshe get an easy shot. I don't believe he is really strong enough to ignore the defense. You are responsible for beating him back to his original shape!"

cdr suffered a lot in the first half, and he was very angry. The coach's meaning was exactly what he wanted: "Don't worry, coach, I won't let this person score another 3-pointer in the second half!"

The second half of the game finally started amidst the cheers of the fans. Morey and other NBA team managers in the stands were also very interested in this close game and watched intently what would happen on the court.

The lineups of both sides in the second half remained consistent with their respective starting lineups.

cdr was still a little disappointed. He hoped that coach Bill Self would let Xie Kai come on the field at the beginning of the second half so that he could play against him and take the opportunity to defeat him.

Of course Xie Kai wants to start the second half, but the problem is that he can't disrupt the team's normal rotation just because of his personal preferences. Besides, coach Bill Self won't listen to him.

The fierce and important second half of the game has officially begun.

At the beginning of the second half, Derrick Rose, the backcourt core of the University of Memphis Tigers, began to show his strength. I wonder if it was because of his sluggish performance in the first half that he was holding back his energy and wanted to prove in the second half that he was the biggest of the two teams.

Brand star.

With Ross's sudden shots, CDR and Dojier also scored, and the University of Memphis instantly hit a wave of Chao Chao to catch up with the score in one fell swoop.

Kansas' senior guard Russell Robinson has solid basic skills and is not weak in physical confrontation, but he is only 185, not even close. Mario Chalmers is also only 185. The two of them have to fight against Rose, who is 191 meters tall.

, the No. 1 pick with excellent physical fitness is very popular, but they seem to be struggling on the defensive end.

The on-site commentators also frequently lamented: "Derek's talent is so outstanding. If he is one-on-one, it is really difficult for Russell and Mario to limit him!"

Fortunately, Kansas is not a weak team. Through teamwork, they quickly responded on the offensive end, and Rush and Arthur also scored consecutively.

The two teams then entered the anxious stage, the score was tight, and no one could easily open the score.

After the first TV timeout of the second half, Memphis exploded completely. Rose was omnipotent, with breakthrough layups, three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and long-range shots off the board. He scored 9 points in a row!

During this period, Kansas requested a timeout, but still could not stop Rose's fiery touch.

Under Rose's crazy attack, the University of Memphis took control of the situation on the court and widened the point difference to double digits {10 points}. At this time, there were 13 minutes and 32 seconds left before the end of the game.

The game entered the second TV timeout of the second half.

After the timeout, Coach Self of the University of Kansas made a somewhat unexpected adjustment: he removed Darnell Jackson and replaced the Russian giant Cowan to increase the height of the inside;

Serge Robinson replaced Xie Kai, who performed well in the first half.

When everyone thought Coach Self was going to play a small lineup with many guards to chase points, unexpectedly he did the opposite and replaced the big inside man Cowan and the forward and swingman Xie Kai, which increased the average height of the team.

The on-site commentator joked: "Kane Shee and Sasha Cowan, who were not optimistic before the game, were actually sent on the field by coach Bill Self when the team was in the most critical moment. I really don't know what Kane and Sasha can do.

How can you catch up with such a huge score gap!"

At this time, there are more than 10 minutes of game time left before the end of the second half. For Kansas, a 10-point point difference is not an insurmountable gap in theory. But the problem is that the strength of the two teams is almost the same.

In a large case, in the NCAA with 35 seconds of attack time, a 10-point difference is not a small number.

This does not include the fact that the University of Kansas does not have a star like Rose on paper. You must know that at this kind of moment, stars need to step up, score continuously, and use their personal abilities to help the team get out of adversity.

The fans of the University of Kansas in the arena were in a low mood. They were looking forward to the arrival of their heroes, but looking around, it seemed that the team did not have a star like Rose. Is the team really going to lose this game?

?

The timeout ends and the game continues.

When the players from both sides were on the field, CDR passed by Xie Kai, glanced at him, and said provocatively: "You are about to lose. Don't even think about getting any more points from me!"

Xie Kai immediately hit back: "The game is not over yet. It is not certain who will lose and who will win! How can you be so sure that I can't score points in front of you? I will score hard. We will see, Brother Antetokounmpo!"

"You..." CDR didn't expect this guy to be so unforgiving.

Chalmers dribbled over, facing Rose's defense, it was a little difficult to protect the ball. Rose's physical condition was much better than him. At this time, the No. 1 pick was in the excitement, and he was also full of passion on the defensive end.

He was almost leading the entire defense.

Cowan came out to cover, but was called a screen foul by the referee...

Coach Self shook his head slightly. He was so slow to memorize words that his teeth would choke even after drinking cold water.

Memphis attacked, Rose took the ball to the frontcourt, and his teammates pulled away, allowing him to beat Chalmers one-on-one.

Chalmers defends well, but when facing Rose, his physical condition is still a bit inferior. Rose's physical condition is too strong. If you want to lock him one-on-one, it is really not easy for a defensive champion to do so.

of.

Rose forced the start, crossed over while moving, and attacked hard from the middle.

Chalmers stuck close to him, trying not to be completely thrown away by the other party.

Kansas insider Cowan is holding the post high, guarding the basket, ready to be used as a cushion at any time.

Rose was in high spirits at this time. When he saw the opponent's big center standing there, he wanted to challenge this impossible. Just as he was about to start, suddenly, a man wearing a blue jersey No. 22 suddenly appeared on the edge of the penalty area. This man

Standing firmly, his breakthrough route was blocked from the front.

Ross couldn't stop at this time, so he ran straight into it, knocking the opponent upside down. Because the inertia was too great, the opponent flew directly out of the bottom line...

The referee's whistle soon sounded - offensive foul!

The person who caused the offensive foul was Xie Kai. The moment Rose broke through, he was already ready to let go of his defender and block the opponent. Seeing that the opponent was charging so hard, he changed his mind and caused the opponent an offensive foul.
Chapter completed!
