Chapter 25 Li Shengli's Weaknesses

Intermission is over and the second half begins.

Because the head coaches of both sides gave the order to die, the defensive strength of both sides was surprisingly high.

...

UConn's famous perimeter bombing was completely misfired by Eastka's rogue defense in the second half, and its offensive efficiency dropped sharply.

And Li Shengli also enjoyed special treatment. As long as he held the ball, the players from the nearby University of Connecticut surrounded him like flies. Although he carried his opponent and scored a few goals, his physical exertion was too great, so he could only slow down the offensive. Cooperate with teammates as much as possible.

To be honest, the first and second halves of a game add up to 40 minutes. Although there is a 15-minute intermission, few people can play the whole game, especially against fierce insiders.

But there is no way, Li Shengli is currently Dongka's only stable scoring point. The teammates in other positions have rotated a circle, and he is still on the court.

But judging from the current situation...

The two sides are fairly evenly matched, and their respective advantageous positions have been suppressed to a certain extent. The University of Connecticut has a slight advantage because they have too many firepower points, while Dongka relies on Li Shengli, who is inside, for most of the offense. It is too easy to target and is slightly behind .

...

East card offensive round.

Li Shengli wanted the ball from a high position outside the penalty area, but the opponent's starting center was replaced early on the bench due to physical exertion, a big black man with a height of 210 cm.

Come on, kid, don't even try to score with me!

The new backup center frantically provoked Li Shengli, but Li Shengli didn't want to deal with this guy at all. Seeing the opponent double-teaming, he directly passed the ball back to the outside teammate.

Double-teaming indeed improves the defensive strength of a single point, but it also means short-term missed defenses in other positions...

Shit, guard their perimeter...

Don't let them do it!

The Connecticut players were a little anxious, but the Dongka backup shooting guard who received the pass from Li Shengli just made a shooting action, which attracted the opponent's defense, and decisively transferred the ball back to Li Shengli's hands.

Because the defensive players did not pull away, Li Shengli and the opposing center formed a one-on-one situation.

Get out of here! With a roar, Li Shengli seized the opportunity very well, jumped up and dunked with both hands.

Boy, I told you, don't try to score with me!

Seeing that they couldn't stop Li Shengli from scoring, the opponent could only follow suit, pulling Li Shengli's arm and forcibly pulling him down, ruining the attack.

Beep!

The referee blew the whistle and Li Shengli stood on the free throw line.

Speaking of which, after Thompson's special training in January, Li Shengli's free throw percentage can basically reach 50%.

One of two free throws!

...

The offense and defense change sides, and it's UConn's turn to attack.

This time, Dongka's rogue defense fully demonstrated its power.

Because Li Shengli is a pervert, they don't need to worry about the inside defense at all, and they put all their energy on suppressing the opponent's outside line, and the effect is surprisingly good. In a 35-second offensive round, the opponent always has to wait until the last 5 seconds to make a reluctant shot, and the hit rate cannot be guaranteed.

Finally, the opponent made a shot this round. Although it was an iron strike, the Dongka player's overly strong defense was also called a foul, sending the opponent to the free throw line.

Made two free throws!

...

At this point the second half of the game is over.

If in the first 10 minutes, both sides were fairly well-behaved, then the last 10 minutes obviously changed. The field was filled with bursts of gunpowder, and the number of fouls on both sides soared sharply.

Beep!

Beep!

Beep!

There are fouls in almost every possession, and the referee's whistle is almost blown.

According to NCAA regulations, each team has 7 common fouls in each half, and the next foul will get 1+1 free throws, and if it reaches 10 times, it will directly get 2 free throws.

For UConn, that's what they want to see because they're confident in their shooting percentages.

But for Dongka, this is very fatal, after all... the opponent's foul target is Li Shengli, who has a poor free throw.

Opponents from outside shooting are still strictly guarded. It is a troublesome thing to transfer the ball to Li Shengli's hands, and it is difficult for Li Shengli to score offensively when he gets the ball, because the opponent will commit fouls in advance, even if 5 fouls leave the field It's not false at all, the big deal is to change to the bench...

For a while, Dongka fell into a predicament, and the score was slowly widened to 8 points.

Beep!

In the last 5 minutes, the ashen-faced Dongka coach Eddie called a timeout, and Tom replaced Li Shengli.

The current record of Dongka University is good. Whether they win or lose this game will not affect their place in the quarter-finals, so Eddie directly replaced Li Shengli and gave up the treatment in advance.

On the one hand, Li Shengli is indeed too tired. After playing almost the entire game, his physical fitness has bottomed out. On the other hand, he does not want Li Shengli to continue to expose his free throw shortcomings, and he does not want this shortcoming to become a constraint for other teams. Toka's trump card.

...

Did you see it? This game has ended early! Thompson in the audience looked very happy, while Kareem frowned.

To be honest, he didn't expect that the University of Connecticut would use foul tactics to suppress Li Shengli infinitely, but he forgot the most important point, that is Li Shengli's free throw percentage, and on the other hand, he also overestimated the overall strength of Dongka University .

Damn it, these boys from Dongka University are too weak! Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was a little annoyed. In his opinion... even if Dongka had a firepower other than Li Shengli, it would not cause the current situation.

No, no, you are wrong. It's not that Li's teammates are too weak, but... Li is not strong enough! Thompson shook his head, and Kareem naturally understood what the old man meant.

Judging from the current situation, as long as Li Shengli's free throw percentage is high enough, all difficulties will naturally be solved, but obviously Li Shengli still can't do this, and his foundation in free throws is too poor.

It seems...we still need to strengthen the projection training for Li!

That's right! But that's for the future. There is no suspense in this game. You can hand over your car keys to me! Thompson smiled and held out his hand, but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was still very unconvinced.

Don't worry, there are 5 minutes left, who can guarantee that a miracle won't happen?

Hey, buddy, you really are an unwilling guy! Thompson glanced at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and said, According to the current situation, do you think East Carolina University can recover 8 points in 5 minutes? Why don't we take advantage of the time? Take your car and take you for a ride.

Shut up, I want to watch this game end!
