Chapter 12
The on-site commentator agrees with Coach Self's timeout: "The game is in a state of anxiety at the moment. For Kansas, which is behind in the score, some changes need to be made to have a chance to break this situation. Who will be the one from Kansas to stand up Who broke the situation? Is it Mario or Brandon? Could it be Kane Xie?"

Kansas coach Bill Self looked a little serious. He said to Mario Chalmers, who was playing point guard: "Why didn't you pass the ball to Kane suddenly? Now he feels the best, so he should shoot. Is this the truth? Don't you understand?"

Of course Chalmers knew this truth, and he couldn't explain that it was because Xie Kai was strictly guarded against, or because they didn't believe that a man of yellow race could maintain such a fiery touch in such adversity.

"Coach, I got it!" Chalmers respected Coach Self, who had a high reputation in the team, and absolutely obeyed the coach's arrangements.

Coach Self didn't talk too much about tactical issues during the timeout. At this point in the game, it's unrealistic to play any subtle tactics.When it comes time to fight the bayonet, what to see is who is more resilient and who can persevere to the end.And, at this time, who can really stand up and take points.

——In basketball games, defense is very important, but in the final analysis, you still need to put the ball into the basket. This is an eternal truth under the rules of the game.

Before playing, coach Self asked Xie Kai: "Is the state still there? Can you handle the pressure?"

Xie Kai nodded seriously: "I will do my best!"

Coach Self smiled. He likes Xie Kai's short and direct answer, which is far more true than promising a lot.

The game continued, and it was less than 5 minutes before the end of the game. The University of Kansas was still 5 points behind the opponent.

Kansas Attack!
Chalmers dribbles the ball across the half.

The University of Memphis is ahead, so they are not as fierce on the defensive end as they were when they were chased just now. First, their physical fitness has gradually bottomed out. Second, the coach Calipari told the players not to foul easily. Don't give the opponent the opportunity to easily chase points at the free throw line.

Xie Kai moved without the ball in the frontcourt, and CDR was still entangled with him.

"I said Chinese boy, what's the use of you running so desperately, they won't pass the ball to you!" CDR seized the opportunity and began to use psychological tactics to distract Xie Kai's attention. If you start a dispute, then the other party will become more chaotic.

Xie Kai didn't miss him, and still frequently used cover to look for opportunities.

The University of Memphis is man-marking. They don't want to give the opponent an easy shot, but the strength of the defense is actually not that great.

Kansas did not find a good chance to make a shot. Chalmers sounded the coach's instructions and distributed the ball to Xie Kai who was outside the 3-point line on the left wing.

Xie Kai held the ball, and CDR immediately began to provoke: "Come on, one-on-one, I welcome it very much! I want to see how capable you are!"

Xie Kai called for a pick-and-roll, and Cowen on the inside came out to cover.

CDR sneered: "Coward!"

Cowan is tall, like a wall, blocking the thin CDR tightly.

CDR originally wanted to bypass the screen, but his teammate Dojill didn't switch defenses in time, and stood in a position where he couldn't get up or down.

At this moment, Xie Kai took the ball and took a step to the right, without much preparation, he stopped and pulled up and shot...

The on-site commentator blurted out: "What is Kane doing? Does he want to shoot a 3-pointer directly?" In his opinion, Xie Kai, as a role player, is too bold. , There is a high probability that the rebound will be obtained by the University of Memphis.

Xie Kai clenched his fists confidently before the ball entered the basket!

CDR turned around in disbelief and watched Xie Kai's 3-pointer fall steadily into the basket!

3-point shot!

The fans of the University of Kansas at the scene jumped up from their seats, and the cheers sounded immediately, as if it had been agreed in advance.

The point difference was once again narrowed to only 2 points left!
The pressure is once again on the University of Memphis side!

Coach Calipari, the head coach of the University of Memphis Tigers, was very dissatisfied with Dojill's defense. He yelled at him: "****, why don't you switch defenses?"

Dojeer was indeed short-circuited at that moment. If it was when Xie Kai hit consecutive 3-pointers just now, he would definitely switch defenses decisively. Even if the opponent passed by, he would rush forward without hesitation.But in the last few rounds, Xie Kai didn't even get a chance to attack, so he kind of forgot about the Chinese kid who felt hot just now.

Xie Kai passed by CDR and said softly: "The coward scored 3 points!"

CDR was so angry that he almost vomited blood!

Coach Bill Self felt that the decision to let Xie Kai get an attacking opportunity at this time of the game was quite wise. This East Asian young man with ordinary physical fitness has unimaginable explosive power in his body, the desire for victory, and the wisdom of judging the situation , so impressive.

At this time, with 3 minutes and 34 seconds left before the end of the game, the University of Memphis still leads the University of Kansas with 53:51.

The University of Memphis felt heavy pressure.The opponent really doesn't have any stars to show for it, but it seems that everyone has the possibility of making a shot. Such a team really can't find a snakehead in defense!
Although Xie Kai hit another 3-pointer, for the coaches and players at the University of Memphis, they were unwilling to flank this man unless it was a last resort.

Rose is still awesome, and hit a jumper with an emergency stop, pulling the score to 4 points!
There was a mistake here at the University of Kansas...

The University of Memphis counterattacked, and Antonio Anderson scored 198+2 at 1cm!

The point difference was widened to 7 points!Almost instantly!

The University of Memphis bench celebrated crazily. Everyone felt that the team was close to winning the first championship in team history.

The on-site commentator also felt that Kansas's situation was over: "At this time, there are only 2 minutes and 14 seconds until the end of the game. Does Kansas still have a chance?"

The University of Kansas called the team's last timeout of the game!
The timeout ends and the game continues.

The University of Kansas quickly served the ball, and Chalmers quickly rushed to the 3-point line after receiving the ball. Under the cover of Cowen at the top of the arc, he moved laterally and tried to shoot a 3-pointer.

Relying on the advantage of his height and wingspan, Dojeer firmly locked on the 185cm tall Chalmers with the attitude of "you can break through, don't even think about shooting".

Chalmers didn't force a shot and wanted to find Xie Kai, but he didn't find a chance to pass the ball. He didn't dare to take the risk and passed it to Rush who was nearby.

Facing Antonio Anderson's defense, Rush changed direction and swayed half his body, and directly stopped and shot a 3-pointer-but no!
There was a scuffle under the basket, and Dorsey finally got the rebound!

Memphis immediately requested a timeout!

When this 3-pointer was missed, when the rebound was grabbed by the opponent, the Kansas fans felt a little desperate.
