In an instant, the entire stadium erupted in cheers!!
The fans of the University of Memphis cheered. Zhang Luo's first round of the game had helped the University of Memphis to open the game with a dunk.
Zhang Luo also raised his arms and interacted with the fans. He liked the feeling of being the center of attention.
"A beautiful pick-and-roll attack. This is the tacit understanding between Ross and Zhang Luo. In the previous two games, the two of them had this kind of cooperation many times.! Ross 'pass was directly fed to Zhang Luo's mouth. If Zhang Luo entered this position, the University of Kansas' defense would be very uncomfortable.”Miller said.
"Zhang Luo's height is a mystery. I think only he knows how tall he is. The 2.10-meter-tall Ossel looks much shorter than Zhang Luo when he opens his hands.”Barkley laughed.
Off the field, Coach Sheff frowned.
Ross and Zhang Luo's pick-and-roll were more powerful than he had expected in a positional battle.
Whether Zhang Luo bounced out or went down, he would be able to drag down the defense line of Kansas.
He had to pay special attention to their connection.
The University of Kansas attacked.
Chalmers dribbled forward.
Chalmers was also very experienced in handling the ball. He passed the ball to Rush as soon as he crossed the center line.
The Pine Hawks ran a lot. Everyone was constantly running and weaving.
Rush's absolute speed was not fast, but his physical condition was very good. After observing from a high position, Rush started to play with his back to Robert.
Robert's defense was a weak point. He was knocked back by Rush. Zhang Luo was defending against Aussel and didn't have the energy to defend.
Rush was on the right side of the free-throw line. After pushing past Robert, he did a mid-range flip!!
This shot gained enough space and hit the target steadily!!!
2 to 2.
At the beginning of the game, both sides hit the ball in according to the established tactics.
After that, Ross broke through and made a layup, Rush made two free throws, Zhang Luo made a long shot, and Arthur made a layup inside.
In the opening stages of the finals, both sides were on full fire, but soon, Kansas fell into a passive situation.
After four minutes, the score was 13 to 6, with the University of Pennsylvania leading by seven points.
However, as a team that had just eliminated Northern California, Kansas was not an easy character to deal with. After some adjustments, Kansas immediately found their offensive rhythm.
Rush, Chalmers, and Arthur scored consecutively, returning the Tigers with a 7 - 0 score, making the score 13 - 13.
Ossel, who had high hopes for him, was completely suppressed by Zhang Luo.
The match entered a TV pause.
After the break, Chalmers used a three-pointer to help Kansas continue to hit the climax.
The players of the University of Pennsylvania were struggling. In the face of the joint defense, Ross and Robert's offense was restricted.
Rose's shooting was not confident, and Robert's lack of breakthrough lethality was placed infinitely!!
Only Zhang Luo helped the team score through his tough individual offense.
The score was 15 to 21, with Kansas leading.
The University of Pennsylvania called for a time-out.
"Zhang, don't stand at the free-throw line. Go to the bottom corner and throw a three-pointer if you have a chance."
"Dorsey, you go to the free-throw line to pin him down. You can look for Zhang Luo.”
Calipari began to adjust his offensive position.
The defense of Kansas City gave him a headache. Zhang Luo's free throw line could break the defense, but the players from the University of Pennsylvania couldn't make the pass. Ross and Robert were too close.
"Today, Kansas's defense against Zhang Luo is very tight. Every time Zhang Luo attacks, he will face at least two pincers. Sometimes, there will be three people. This makes him have no chance to play solo in the paint. Zhang Luo's score is not as high as the previous two games.”Barkley said.
"It's mainly because the University of Pennsylvania's outside line can't shoot, so they dare to double-team Zhang Luo without any scruples. As long as there's an outside line that can shoot, Zhang Luo won't be so badly pincered in the paint. Calipari will probably make a change next and let Zhang Luo shoot.”Reggie Miller said.
He paused and returned to the field.
Zhang Luo wiped the sweat off his forehead. Kansas's defense was stronger than UCLA's. UCLA's players were strong individually, while Kansas's defense was strong. Their defense was like sticky candy, which made him uncomfortable in the paint.
However, Zhang Luo did not only have one attack method. He had other moves to deal with it.
Ross continued to organize the offense, hanging to Dorsey at the free throw line, and continued to cut inside!!
In the end, Dorsey passed the ball to Zhang Luo in the bottom corner.
There was a small gap after Zhang Luo received the ball in the corner. He immediately pulled up his jump shot!!
Not in the paint, Kansas's defense was not as tight. Rush's pounce was a beat slower, and Zhang Luo's three-point shot hit the target!!
18 to 21.
" I've finally entered!!" Calipari heaved a sigh of relief!
"Zhang Luo's all-rounded ability is that even if he is restricted in the inside, he can still find opportunities on the outside!!”
Zhang Luo didn't celebrate with his teammates. Instead, he immediately marked Aussel.
Aussel had only gotten two points in this game so far. He was also suffering from Zhang Luo's defense.
His height, arm span, weight, agility, and speed were all suppressed!!
The attack from the University of Kansas was blocked by the University of Pennsylvania. Rush's three-point jump shot was interrupted by Zhang Luo.
Dorsey took the rebound and gave it directly to Zhang Luo.
Zhang Luo motioned for Ross to run forward. He would carry the goods.
Zhang Luo dribbled the ball to the three-point line.
The University of Kansas was still in a defensive position. No defenders immediately came up to Zhang Luo.
The key to breaking the joint defense was to score a three-pointer. After Zhang Luo estimated the distance, he did not hesitate and decisively raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer!!
"Wow!"
The University of Kansas fans were shocked.
This was the finals!
Could a center forward be so reckless?
Zhang Luo had been inside the paint all this time and was mistaken by the fans as a center forward!
He couldn't help it. Dorsey was too short and didn't look like an inside player.
Swoosh!
21 to 21.
The eyes of the University of Kansas fans almost popped out.
Was there a mistake? This big guy was so far away?
Seeing the ball go in, Zhang Luo waved his fist heavily.
Ross looked at Zhang Luo enviously. Zhang Luo's touch was too good, which made his shooting look very reliable.
Ross also wanted this feeling.
Zhang Luo's two consecutive three-pointers helped Miami catch up.
The competition had entered its climax!
