Chapter 15: Manufacturing pressure


   The next game.
  University of Connecticut players performed the tactics of the bishop very well. After a timeout, the lineup was fine-tuned. A seven-foot center replaced the power forward on the field, and the lineup became two big and three small.
  According to the head coach of Connecticut...
  A center can't do Li Shengli?
   Then I will be two!
  As long as Li Shengli's rebounds are suppressed, Dongka is the tiger with the teeth pulled out, and the rest is the hit rate competition, they are enough to strangle Dongka!
   had to say that this arrangement caused a lot of trouble to Li Shengli.
   Although the two centers of the University of Connecticut are not Li Shengli's opponents in the one-on-one situation, two-on-one successfully suppressed Li Shengli, one is responsible for the card position and the other is responsible for the rebound. Li Shengli is very upset.
   This is the first time Li Shengli feels so aggrieved inside.
   In the final analysis, it is still his hoops skills, but facing the targeted deployment of the University of Connecticut, he has no way to deal with them alone.
   Until half time in the first half.
   score 20:12, the University of Connecticut led by 8 points.
  In these ten minutes, Li Shengli only got 3 rebounds, which is a huge contrast with the 13 minutes of 13 minutes against Tulane University. And coach Eddie called for a timeout, and Tom replaced Li Shengli.
  ……
   "It's over, it's over, this game is estimated to be lost. Our rebounding monster was completely suppressed by the University of Connecticut."
   "Whatthefk! Without Lee's rebound, our outside line is simply a group of pigs. If you go on like this, you will definitely be dragged to death by your opponent!"
   "What is Lee doing? He hasn't shot a few times in these games. Is he really an offensive idiot? I thought he was the savior of Dongka, and now it seems that it is just a deformable monster that can't be scored."
   "Shut up! Li only played four games. He still has a lot of room for improvement. We should support him so that Dongka can go further."
  As much praise as there will be as much slander.
   Seeing the poor performance of Dongka University, the fans were very indignant. Some people even pointed their finger at Li Shengli, who was targeted by their opponents. They completely forgot how Li Shengli took Dongka to win four straight victories before.
   But don't blame these people.
   The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
  In their eyes, Li Shengli should be a crazy and brutal Dongka monster, but what he sees now is just an ordinary center that has been repeatedly suppressed by his opponents and is completely unable to play.
  ……
  However... different from the fans.
   All the players of Dongka University did not care about the current situation. It seemed that they had predicted the result in advance. His face could not see any anxiety behind the big score, but he was a little... excited?
   "Oh, God, look, our Li is going to be angry!" Looking at Li Shengli who was replaced, Mark scratched his head.
   "It's too bad, I won't dare to say if I won or not, but I feel... this game will definitely frighten the opponent." Brooke also stared at Li Shengli.
"It's almost time, and we'll get together. We have to pave the way for the first half. Now we are 8 points behind. Before the end of the first half, we must not let the score fall more than 8 points." Alan encouraged another Four teammates, and the teammates collectively gave him a glance.
   "How is 8 points enough, we have to be at least 10 points behind. Otherwise, Li's pressure is not enough!" George, a small and quiet forward, also made a joke.
   "Relax, I will release the water for a while, I believe we will be 16 points behind." The new startled head Tom Qing is confident.
   "Don't... Tom, you don't need to put water, you can be 16 points behind when you play normally." Mark's poison tongue didn't miss Tom.
  ……
After the pause, the game continues.
  After Li Shengli got off the field, in order to maintain the physical strength of the inside players, the University of Connecticut also found an opportunity to replace the center that restricted Li Shengli from the bench.
   But the calm conversation at Dongka University left the opponents in a daze.
what's going on? !
   Don't worry about being 8 points behind? !
  Being under pressure by 16 points? !
  Do they have any cards? No, it's impossible... Even their ace centers are suppressed by us, what other way can we compete with us?
   This group of guys must be crazy!
  ……
   The game continues.
  Although Dongka University is still at a disadvantage, but the head coach Eddie did not have any anxiety and anger.
   In fact, from the beginning, he did not plan to win, because the current level of Dongka is still very difficult to compete with the University of Connecticut, and it is completely unexpected to be hung up.
  Li Shengli only played 10 minutes, but the discerning person can feel that his offensive is a short board. Without excellent shooting ability, he cannot pull out the opponent's inside and create opportunities for teammates to break through the restricted area.
   What's more, he was also very blunt in dealing with opponent cards and double-teams. Obviously, he lacked the experience of confrontation under the basket, and he had a strong body but could not fully play.
   But Eddie did not say it, he hoped Li Shengli could find the problem himself. This game is the touchstone of Li Shengli, winning or losing is not the focus of his attention, Li Shengli's growth is what he values ​​most.
  ……
   beep!
   The first half of the game was finally over.
   Tom's crow mouth is obviously over, the score of both sides is 30:46, the University of Connecticut leads by 16 points.
   Just 16 points in the first half?
   Such a competition, UU reading www.uukanshu. If there are no surprises in com, there will be no suspense in winning or losing, and even some of the audience have already started leaving early.
   than offense?
  University of Connecticut's outside bombing completely crushed Dongka, and the players felt more and more comfortable.
   than defense?
  University of Connecticut is even more true. The inside Tom was eaten to death, unable to form an effective killing, and the outside did not even have a decent mobile phone.
   This is the crushing of hard power, and no one can do it.
  ……
   Intermission 15 minutes.
  Li Shengli once again returned to the field, and the University of Connecticut seemed to have expected it in advance, and once again came out with two big and three small lineups.
   Eastka's offensive round.
  Li Shengli set the inside line and demanded the ball from the high position, but Alan, who had the ball on the outside line, passed it without thinking.
   "This guy wants to... eat me alone?" Seeing Li Shengli asking for the ball, the opposing center was stunned for a while, and then there was a trace of sneer, because his teammates had rushed to wrap up.
  One-on-one, I can't beat you!
   But two to one, do you have the courage to shoot?
  However... Li Shengli didn't consider these at all. After hitting his opponent back and sinking his center of gravity, he completely demonstrated his brutality, his lower limbs exploded in strength, and his opponent was unable to parry and was pushed back again and again.
   Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Shengli turned and jumped, holding the ball with both hands and hitting the basket with all his strength, while another defending center had already guessed Li Shengli's intention. He took the first step and planned to forcibly block Li Shengli.
   "Give me... Get out!"
   A roar almost scared his opponent. Li Shengli drove the ball into the basket against the opponent's center. Even if the opponent couldn't seal it, he didn't pull it back by pulling his arm.
