Chapter 33 The score was equalized

"This guy has made progress..."

At this moment, Joe Henson was also in the Allen Arena, but in another stand.

His target is not Li Ke, but Brandon Rush. Larry Bird is very optimistic about Rush, believing that with the Pacers' record this season, the draft picks he finally got were around the middle of the first round, and he happened to win Rush to supplement the team's immediate combat power.

But now, Qiao Henson's eyes are full of glory, only for Li Ke.

"First it was defense, then it was empty cut, and now it was a three-pointer. In just two or three months, Sheldon Lee has made so many progress..."

At this time, Joe Henson even believed that Larry Bird should regard Li Ke as his main goal, rather than Brandon Rush, who made Li Ke score 8 points in a row.

"Although the draft pick in the middle of the first round is a bit higher, it would definitely be worth it if it was Sheldon Lee today!"

On the court, the game continues.

Kansas began to guard against Li Ke who was a poor three-pointer but could make it, but Li Ke's empty cut always caught Kansas off guard.

In this way, Li Ke, who had already scored 18 points in this game, forced Kansas to take the initiative to adjust its defense.

The lost Xiao Du seemed to have regained his shooting sight after Li Ke broke out.

Du Xiao made consecutive shots and took over the game again.

On the other hand, Mario Chamos also carried the banner of Kansas offense, plus Julian Wright and Darrell Arthur's successive scores.

The situation of the game stabilized again, and the two teams were entangled again. No one could decide the outcome of the game in a short period of time.

"The performance of the University of Texas has been very tenacious. Kevin Durant is in poor condition visible to the naked eye, and Sheldon Lee's unexpected outbreak prevents the game from collapsing..."

The game was in the second half, and the tenacious performance had become the University of Texas.

Shannon Sharp, who once looked down on Li Ke, also praised Li Ke with all his might: "Sheldon Li in this game is so critical. He has limited the game to only 6 points, but he scored a full 20 points in the game."

Another commentator next to him, Maricarillo reminded him: "In the past, Brandon Rush appeared around the middle of the first round in every issue of Sports Illustrated, but Sheldon Lee had never entered this list..."

"Then I can say with certainty that in the next issue, Sheldon will definitely make it to the list, and even, he may soar directly to the first round!"

With only more than 2 minutes left in the second half of the game, D.j. Augustin missed a layup and was grabbed by Kansas, and then hit a counterattack like a sudden attack.

Kansas took the lead, and Bill Self nervously directed the defense on the field.

Xiao Du broke through from the left, immediately attracting Kansas' joint formation. The tight defensive formation did not give Xiao Du any chance to score easily.

Li Ke is the second target of Kansas's key defense. He struggled to break free from Rush's blockage, and then suddenly went around the bottom line and relied on Archieley's cover to shake Rush away.

Xiao Du at the far end made a move, making a central shot against the defense.

Bang!

The basketball hit the outer edge of the basket and bounced out.

Li Ke suddenly exerted force from the right side of the basket, taking off like a rocket, holding the basketball with both hands. Even if Darrell Arthur who rushed over then hung on him, it could not stop Li Ke from trying hard to stuff the ball into the basket!

A boom!

The originally noisy Allen Arena was heavily slapped by this note and was shocked for a moment.

Until the referee blew the whistle and ordered Arthur to commit a foul.

Li Ke stood in the penalty area, beating his chest and roaring.

Only then did Kansas fans react and unbearably booed.

Amid the boo, Li Ke's additional punishment was confiscated.

This did not surprise him, or even regret it, because Li Ke has made only a handful of free throws so far in his career.

Although the score was confiscated, the score was tied.

However, in the next game, Xiao Du, surrounded by the strong men of Kansas, made an unyielding shot, but made a series of iron shots.

Kansas took the lead just by scoring Darrell Arthur's inside tip-in.

As the game approaches, this time, the balance of victory has really tilted towards Kansas.

"Kevin Durant's choice has no problem. It's just that the game is going to be at this stage. Kansas' defense is getting more and more stringent. They won't even miss a slight chance to Texas. Sheldon Lee almost made a 21-game tip-off..."

Shannon Sharp shook his head and continued: "Of course, there is no problem with Texas' defense, but their inside line is too weak. Darrell Arthur can knead Connor Archieley at will, which was unimaginable last season."

Last season, Texas' inside lineups include Lamarcus Aldridge and Tucker, which is naturally worthy of any team.

But this season, except for a small forward who plays a cameo as a power forward, Texas's only purebred blue-collar worker like Archieley, or a freshman who is still very immature and rough in his interior.

On the court, in the Texas round, facing a 2-point difference and heavy defense interceptions, Du Xiao chose to pass the ball, and he no longer felt the touch.

Li Ke couldn't get the ball either, so he could only intersperse back and forth, focusing on the basket.

"The more you get to the end, the more critical the rebound is!"

If no one can make a shot, then whoever grabs the rebound will have a chance to make up for the mistake.

Abrams received the pass. He made a sudden pass, then stopped and jumped in, and with a bang, he didn't make it.

The rebound popped up, and Darrell Arthur beat Li Ke and Achiley and grabbed the rebound.

"It's timed up, there are only 37 seconds left in the game!"

As the rebound was determined, the referee also blew the whistle, which was the last timeout of Kansas using the game.

"A 2-point lead, Kansas still has the ball rights, and the victory of the game is almost their possession."

Off the field, Rick Barnes frowned.

At this stage of the game, he no longer has many solutions. Whether it is personnel reserves or tactical reserves, Texas is far inferior to Kansas.

But even so, he still has to make good arrangements for the last attack and defense.

"We have to guard against one..."

The one-minute pause soon ended, and Li Ke stood on the court again.

His opponent was replaced by Mario Chamos, because Rick Barnes guessed that Kansas' last attack would be completed by Chamos.

When Chamos received a pass from Rush, Li Ke stepped forward and pushed up.

"I've changed defense. Texas chose to use Sheldon to deal with Mario Chamos, who had scored 28 points in this game at the last moment."

Chamos was very careful when facing Li Ke.

He knew very well that Li Ke was not a defensive colander like Augustine. He was more like a big iron pot. If you covered you, it would be difficult for you to score again.

He did not directly attack or pass the ball, but carefully controlled the ball, because the task assigned to him by coach Bill Self was to control it for 30 seconds and finally pass the ball to any teammate who came out of the bottom corner, either Rush, Julian Wright, or even Seron Collins met the requirements.

Mario Chamos controlled the ball so steadily, and time went by minute by minute.

But Li Ke suddenly attacked!

He bullied himself in front of him and forced him for a moment. Chamos immediately turned around to protect the ball.

The moment he turned around, even Chamos didn't expect that Li Ke, who was huge to him, actually twisted his body and squeezed over from him as if he had used the bone shrinkage skill...

"The B-level big heart has been triggered..."

Although the short arms were short and the upper body was long, they unexpectedly hit the basketball at that moment.

boom!

Amid the exclamation, Li Ke rushed out.

The basketball that was pierced by him also went further and further with his figure.

"Sheldon Lee, he finished the steal!"

In the commentary seat, Shannon Sharp was excited and surprised.

"What did I see when Jesus is on the horse?"

"It's so thrilling!"

In the stands, Larry Cooper and Joe Henson couldn't help but swear.

With another bang, Li Ke hung on the basket in the backcourt. Chamos, who followed, hugged his head with both hands. He obviously didn't want to believe that he was actually stolen at the last moment of the game!
Chapter completed!
