NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 7 Regional Semifinals
When it came to the regional semifinals, the attention of the NCAA Tournament soared again.

In the Midwest, the University of Kentucky crushed all the way, winning the first round of Jose State by 1 points and the second round of Virginia Tech by 42 points.

Such a huge point difference has made many media and commentators who pay attention to the NCAA look down.

What's even more outrageous is that the University of Kentucky scored 110 points in the first round and 2 points in the second round!
This kind of score is almost catching up with the NBA game. Such a violent attack caused many media reporters to follow and shout:

"The Kentucky Wildcats show brutal dominance!"

The team that has received attention in the Midwest is also Wake Forest. Almost all NBA teams have thrown money at Tim Duncan's face.

The scouts of each team are almost yelling "come in your arms" every game
However, compared with the University of Kentucky, Wake Forest's first two rounds were not easy. In the second round, they narrowly beat the Texas Longhorns 2:62.

Fans who like individual heroism are looking forward to the final in the Midwest.

Antoine Walker of the University of Kentucky played against Tim Duncan of Wake Forest. The semifinals have not yet started, and the media has already begun to help the two.

One of the two is a small forward and the other is a power forward. Even if the positions are different, no one cares about these details. Star players, just do it!

In the Southeast Conference semifinals, the game between the first-seeded University of Connecticut and the fifth-seeded University of Mississippi also attracted much attention.

The Mississippi State Bulldogs are considered this year's dark polo team. The regular season record is not outstanding, but after entering the championship, it is impressive.

Center Eric Dampier's draft market is getting better and better. He is 2 meters tall and weighs 11 kilograms. He has shown excellent rebounding ability and blocking ability in the championship.

This is an era of big men. Although Li You teased the future "No. [-] Center in the West", in the NCAA, this player's strength should not be underestimated.

Coach Calhoun said don't stress, but since the team arrived in Lexington, Kentucky, they have been watching a lot of tape every day.

Ray Allen doesn't talk much, and he has started to practice more in recent days.

As a talented player, he always hoped that he could get an invitation letter from the University of Kentucky in high school, but was tragically ignored, and was finally recruited by head coach Calhoun to Connecticut.

The most perfect script is that he avenges Kentucky in the finals, blows up his opponents, and wins the championship. For this reason, Ray Allen is full of motivation and does not need to be mobilized by the coaching staff at all.

Without the Internet, without quick news, Li You didn't know that the New Mexico State Roberts team had been eliminated by Georgetown until he arrived in Lexington.

At the beginning, he almost accepted the invitation and chose the university closest to his home. Li You was a little lucky, and he didn't shiver when he hugged his thigh. No wonder the brother basketball will be popular in the future.
After the tactical training session on the afternoon of the 21st, the players can move around freely, and just return to the hotel before 22:[-].

However, the beautiful knife on Li You did not allow him to go out in style, so he chose to stay in the training hall for additional training.

At present, he is still getting used to [Allen Iverson's excellent sense of the ball]. This is the first time that Li You has felt the top talent, and now he can easily grasp the moves that he could not complete in the past.

Ray Allen looked enviously at Li You dribbling with both hands while wearing gloves without any influence.

Talent sometimes means that you can do whatever you want. Ray Allen has been strengthening his control ability, but the effect is not ideal.

"With your physical condition, you don't need fancy dribbling at all, and you don't even need too much shaking. It's enough to break through without dropping the ball!"

Li You, who received the ball, immediately gave advice, but Ray Allen shook his head, and then used Coach Calhoun's set of rhetoric:
"Not just scoring, I need to do more, just like Michael Jordan!"

Li You helplessly threw the ball to the opponent. These days, everyone likes to imitate Jordan.

In the regional semi-finals, some TV stations also began to broadcast the game.

At 22:21 on the evening of the 40nd, the Mississippi State Bulldogs and the Connecticut Huskies officially started the battle.

This is the third game of the day, and CBS TV commentator Jim Nantz went mad at the top seed University of Connecticut after the opening.

Even if this senior sports reporter sees Ray Allen hitting the iron, he will follow with a compliment:
"What a beautiful shooting position!"

At 8 minutes and 01 seconds into the game, Calhoun's head coach frowned, unable to move the inside line, and suddenly missed the outside line.

This round, Mississippi State gave the ball to Eric Dampier, who asked for the ball in the low post on the left, and the latter took the ball with his right hand and then hit hard.

He hit the basket abruptly, and put Travis Knight on the basket with a strong defense!

Under the interference, the ball hit the basket and missed, but Eric Dampier took off for the second time, caught the rebound, put the basket again, and smashed the ball in again.

With such a strong score, cheers immediately erupted in the Rupp Arena.

This arena is also the home court of the University of Kentucky. Ray Allen looked ugly, perhaps because he wanted to express himself too much here, and he only scored 4 points so far.

At 18:9, seeing that the point difference was approaching double digits, head coach Calhoun had no choice but to request a timeout.

Eric Dampier was very proud of stopping his opponent. He laughed and raised his head and punched passionately in the direction of the Mississippi State University fans in the arena. There was another round of cheers.

The commentator Billy Parker was a little disappointed. Ray Allen's performance at this time was not as good as the opposite Daryl Wilson.

The diminutive black Mississippi State guard opened the game with four 4-pointers and played exactly what he was:
"Maybe Mississippi State will continue to play the role of dark horse tonight. They are the better team so far."

The team's star player was off the mark, and this was the worst case scenario. Instead of replacing Ray Allen, Calhoun replaced Dorrent Marshall, who performed quite well.

The inside cannot be moved, the two big men must be on the field, and Kirk King cannot be replaced on the front line, and the height on the field must be guaranteed.

Only position 1 could make adjustments. When Li You, who was wearing a white jersey, appeared on the field after a timeout, the UConn fans cheered loudly.

Head coach Richard Williams frowned on the sidelines. Through a large number of game videos, they also noticed that Li You's style of play is different.

In the first offense after his debut, Darryl Wilson did not take the initiative to lead the defense like the small men of other teams, but kept a small step away.

This kind of space also allows Li You to dribble the ball calmly, dribbling the ball with his left hand across the half court, approaching the left flank, and suddenly circling the ball behind his back quickly.

After switching to the right hand, he immediately lowered his center of gravity and pretended to accelerate. When he noticed that the opponent was sliding, Li You immediately changed direction in front of him, and then accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.

Darryl Wilson is only 1 meters tall, relatively short in stature, but his feet are very flexible. He adjusted his center of gravity and slid quickly, sticking tightly to Li You's side.

When he came to the three-point line, the acceleration of the left-handed ball broke through to Li You's sudden stop, and while vigorously blasting the ball on the spot, he actively leaned towards the opponent.

After the collision, Li You retreated and returned to the three-point line. After a little space for shooting, Li You immediately joined the ball, ignoring Darryl Wilson who was defending, and quickly shot a jumper from the left wing!
"Shua!" Three-pointer hollow net!
"God! That's too fast! This is Clay Lee, a sophomore at UConn!"

"Going into the tournament, Lee has been the primary scorer off the UConn bench!"

The commentator Jim Nantz exclaimed first, and then briefly introduced Li You.

The cheers from the University of Connecticut fans at the scene made head coach Richard Williams look a bit ugly on the sidelines. Looking at Li You who was smiling and retreating, he cursed inwardly:
"This bloody play!"
