0055: [Number One Li Blow]
When Laneycourt was sent off, Kansas became even more passive.
Coach Bill Self quickly requested a timeout. He did not want his team to stop at the top 32. He believed that the Jayhawks deserved a better ranking.
So, he reiterated on the bench the importance of blocking Bruce from breaking into the paint, and the need to cut him off from his teammates and force him to shoot one-on-one jumpers.
Mario Chalmers finally complied with the current trend. He is no longer pursuing the pursuit of overpowering Li Zhen and becoming the protagonist of the spotlight. He now just wants to reverse the current situation and win this game.
Whoosh!
Li Zhen hit the serve with a technical foul.
Then, he received the serve from his teammate again.
At this time, Kansas' defense changed drastically. They strictly guarded against Bruce's teammates, but adopted a more relaxed defense against Li Zhen.
Michael Jordan and Isaiah Thomas on the sidelines are very familiar with this.
But...can Li Zhen defeat the so-called Jordan Rules like Michael Jordan?
They have doubts in their hearts.
But at this moment, Li Zhen quickly took a step forward and forced Mario Chalmers' defense to shrink inward. He immediately stopped, and then suddenly took off to take action... Although his emergency stop was not very fast, it was
The bounce speed is very surprising, and the bounce height has also been increased.
Therefore, when Chalmers swooped up to defend again, the basketball had already flown over his head.
His defense became futile.
Whoosh!
As the long-distance 2-pointer hit, Coach Bill Self's expression became extremely uncomfortable.
"Look at this beautiful shot. Kansas' isolation strategy is completely broken. Bruce's shot is not that bad, and... although his shot height is not too high, his bounce speed is fast! In the blink of an eye,
He has already completed the shot. I think...even in the NBA, with his ball-handling ability, speed and jumping rate, coupled with the pick-and-roll of his teammates, he can still find the opportunity to take the shot."
Kenny Smith is still working very hard to promote the little fox he misses on live broadcast platforms across the United States.
He really can't wait to see Bruce Lee enter the NBA.
In response, Charles Barkley just shrugged and said, "Wish him good luck."
Bruce is really lucky tonight.
Before the end of the game, he hit two more jump shots. One of them was a super three-pointer at the buzzer during fast movement.
He took a shot in the last three seconds of the first half, and the basketball hit the basket three meters away from the three-point line.
With a snap, the remaining confidence of the Kansas players was about to be completely destroyed.
57:42.
The Stanford Scarlet team led by 15 points at halftime.
This is an unexpected result for Kansas. Although Kansas' strength has declined in the past two years compared to its glorious history, they still believe that they are above Stanford.
Tonight, however, the No. 10 who beat the Longhorns expanded his miracle once again.
He has improved since the last game.
And there are many aspects of progress. His jump shot is becoming more and more like Michael Jordan and more and more stable. His change of direction speed and breakthrough explosive power seem to be evolving... He is like a huge sponge. Do you think after four games?
, it has been squeezed out of its water, but in fact, with a little more force, more energy can still be poured out.
"If Stanford breaks into the Sweet Sixteen tonight, their reputation will reach an incredible level. You know, twenty days ago, this was a team that even the head coach gave up on."
Kenny Smith continued to preach miracles during the timeout: "I don't think there has been any such example in the world. A player who was abandoned by the coach broke out at the last moment and led the team to continuously defeat unbeatable opponents and counterattack.
Entering the championship and successively eliminating the favorites for the championship, and competing with the traditional giants..."
Before Kenny Smith finished his sentence, Charles Barkley next to him added: "There is an example sitting on the side of the court. Michael Jordan was also thrown into the second team by his high school coach, but he soon led the second team.
The team became the pride of the whole state. You also know the rest of the story..."
When Barkley said this, a picture of Michael Jordan and Bruce Lee high-fiving suddenly appeared on the TV screen in front of him.
It turns out... when Li Zhen passed by Jordan, the basketball god actually stood up and reached out to give him a high-five.
"Wow. This is one of the few scenes! Could it be that Michael Jordan has taken a liking to this imitator?" Barkley said in confusion: "Charlotte plans to draft Bruce Lee this summer?"
"Oh! Please, don't say that, Charles. It will affect Bruce's draft stock. Everyone knows what it means to be appreciated by Michael Jordan. I would rather the person high-fiving Bruce Lee right now is Isaiah Thomas..."
Kenny Smith didn't finish his words.
Bruce had just high-fived and whispered something to Michael Jordan when he received a bear hug from Isaiah Thomas.
The former NBA legendary point guard who took charge in New York made no secret of his admiration, and as if he wanted to compete with his old rival Jordan, he actually embraced him directly.
"Well, even though the game is not over yet, this kid has already become the headline of tomorrow's NCAA news. A rookie who made Michael Jordan take the initiative to high-five and Isaiah Thomas gave him a bear hug, how can he not be talked about by those media?
I doubt any of the potential lottery picks have such high exposure these days," Barkley said uncertainly.
"of course not."
Kenny Smith told Barkley with certainty. "Didn't you see the two Disney girl idols sitting opposite Michael Jordan and Isaiah Thomas? Bruce saved Hilary Duff's life a week ago. Do you think those accurate
Do lottery picks dare to save people in front of a 500-horsepower truck driving at full speed? This is why Bruce is so charming and full of charm. He is not only a hot NCAA star player, but also a talented academic with amazing academic performance.
One of the founders of an Internet company, of course... most importantly, he has a heart of gold."
"When these fascinating qualities are combined in the same person, that's why thousands of fans at the scene cheer for him."
"Actually, it's much more than that. I believe there are more people in front of the TV who are leaning toward Bruce Lee and toward the Stanford Crimson team at this moment."
Kenny Smith’s identity as number one Li Chui is completely confirmed.
Bruce's tough performance tonight gave him the confidence to speak freely and freely outline the future of the little fox in front of his old partner.
Chapter completed!
