Kansas's defense was broken by Zhang Luo's two three-pointers.
The scores of the two teams entered a state of anxiety again.
At the end of the first half of the game, Ross, who was in an average state, made a series of mistakes and was intercepted under the opponent's high-intensity pincer attack. Kansas continued to fight back.
By the end of the first half, the score was 35 to 40, with Kansas leading by five points!!
In the locker room, Calipari readjusted his tactics and made changes with Zhang Luo as the main point of attack with the ball.
Ross and Robert's performance in the first half was a little bad. The two of them made a total of seven mistakes and played Zhang Luo together.
This made Zhang Luo's 18 points in the first half useless, while Ross and Robert only scored nine points.
In addition to Dorsey, Arthur's defense was also not good. Arthur scored 10 points and 3 rebounded on 5 of 8 shots.
In the second half after the change in tactics, Murphy started the counterattack!!
Zhang Luo used the cover to force his way forward to cause Arthur to foul and score the ball at the same time. Two plus one!
On the defensive end, Zhang Luo intercepted Rush's pass to Arthur and converted to a fast attack!
Zhang Luo scored five points in a row to equalize the score again!!!
Zhang Luo's hard work finally woke up Ross and Robert, and they both scored. On the other side, their offense also exhausted the defense of the University of Pennsylvania. Rush and Chalmers also kept making long shots.
When the TV went into its first time out in the second half, the score was 48 to 49, with Kansas leading by one point!!
After the pause, both sides had a wave of iron hitting. For nearly three minutes, neither side had any movement battles!!
After the second TV pause, Zhang Luo exploded!!
Zhang Luo was omnipotent. He broke through dunks, three-pointers, jump shots, and converted fast breaks to make fouls!!
Zhang Luo's hand felt hot!
Zhang Luo's outburst helped the University of Miami take a seven-point lead, 60 - 53. The University of Kansas 'offense was very fragmented during this period, and only Rush scored four points.
However, Kansas was obviously unwilling to lose just like that. Arthur and Chalmers continued to break out, and the two of them continued to chase points!
In the last minute of the game, the score became 70 to 68, with the University of Pennsylvania leading by only two points!!
The game went into a pause in Kansas City once again!!!
Coach Sheff needed a more secure way to get into the next round!
Kansas quickly finished setting up their tactics.
The core point guard, Chalmers, stared at the University of Morris.
Chalmers clearly remembered that a long time ago, during the National Junior High School Sports League's junior high school finals, his team, Alaskan, fell behind by 12 to 14 in the final moments of the game.
The audience felt dizzy for a moment. The children's banter was filled with layups, missed free throws, and mistakes. People just wanted the game to end early so that the children could take photos with their opponents and go back proudly to tell their parents how actively they participated in club activities!
In the end, it was Chalmers who stood up and made a three-pointer. It was 15 to 14, and they beat Miami.
Chalmers 'three-pointer made the children's game instantly look like the cruelty of professional basketball. The children from Miami opened their mouths wide and wanted to cry, but there were no tears. The children from Alaskan surrounded him and cheered.
Chalmers enjoyed this feeling!
That was the first time he enjoyed the joy of a last-minute kill. From then on, he practiced his skills.
Since high school, he had played with his father, Lionel Chalmers, who was a basketball coach. Under his father's leadership, Chalmers won the state championship two years in a row. He also broke the record of winning the state player of the year three years in a row.
Then, he came to Kansas and reached the finals!!!
Chalmers was the brightest player in Kansas tonight!!
He paused and returned.
The University of Memphis 'defensive focus was on Chalmers and Arthur. Their performance tonight was the key to the state of Kansas!
As for the scoring champion of the Kansas team, Aussel, he didn't need to be considered. Tonight, he was completely frozen by Zhang Luo, and his personal score was only two points.
The University of Pennsylvania's overall defense was relatively expanded. What they needed to focus on was their three-pointer from the outside.
Even if they scored two points, they would not be passive. The initiative was still on their side.
Chalmers brought the ball across the front field and called for Osel's cover.
This tactic was used frequently by the University of Kansas. It looked like a pick-and-roll attack between Chalmers and Osel, but many times, Chalmers would give it to Arthur, who was in the low post. Arthur had a lot of experience playing against Dorsey.
Chalmers and Aussel completed the pick-and-roll, and Zhang Luo also changed his defense in time.
Chalmers did not follow his previous tactic to pass the ball to Arthur, who was stuck in the low post. Instead, he chose to simply use the cover and retreat to the top of the arc to shoot a three-pointer!!
According to old-fashioned tactics, this kind of three-pointer shot was not a reasonable tactic!
Even Kansas would not have designed such a tactic, but this was Chalmers 'personal choice!
Zhang Luo was very sensitive to the three-point line. He accurately judged the way Chalmers shot!!
He did not hesitate at all!
He jumped up and waved his long arms to block the attack!!!
Zhang Luo's flying ball touched the basketball with his fingertips.
Chalmers was dumbfounded. Zhang Luo's arm span and speed had once again exceeded his expectations!!
The ball was blocked, and the trajectory of the basketball changed. Dorsey jumped up in the paint and grabbed the rebound.
43 seconds!
Dorsey immediately passed the ball to Zhang Luo. Zhang Luo dribbled the ball across the half court and shouted to stop the game!!
The moment the call for a time-out was called, the substitutes rushed up to hug and high-five Zhang Luo. This block was too crucial.
Calipari was also very happy. As long as he could hold on to the last round, the key would be within reach.
"Oh yeah!"
"Beautiful!"
"Three-point block."
"Hey, Zhang Luo's block was too beautiful. Chalmers 'shot was very sneaky, but he didn't dodge the block.”Miller shouted.
On the field, Chalmers was panting heavily. He was still different from before.
The head coach of Kansas City, Sheff, did not scold Chalmers. Zhang Luo could only be blamed for his abnormal defense.
