"It's okay."
In the 19th minute of the first half, Zuo Li once again helped Curry who was knocked to the floor. This was the fifth time he was knocked to the ground fiercely in the first half.
But more seriously, this time it was still Curry's defensive foul. On the offensive end, Chalmers made two consecutive pick-and-rolls, just to find Curry to play singles, and finally let him find an opportunity. The fierce attack knocked over Curry. Take away fouls.
This was Curry's third foul in the first half, and he's actually been in foul trouble in the NCAA.
"I'm fine, buddy, let me slow down, I can still fight." Curry stood up and supported his knees. Bean-sized sweat dripped on the floor, but he didn't even have the strength to wipe.
Zuo Li stretched out his hand to signal the off-court service staff to come in to wipe the floor, and stretched out a hand to signal Coach Bob to replace Curry to rest.
Coach Bob nodded, and even though it was only half a minute in the first half, he still replaced Curry ahead of schedule.
This move made many fans of Davidson College feel heartbroken, and the fans who supported them fell into silence.
At 43-30, Davidson was already 13 points behind.
This is the first time that Davidson has trailed by more than 10 points at halftime this season, and it is also the first time in Zuo Li's career.
All this seems to indicate that Davidson's dark horse is about to subside today, and winning seems to be so difficult.
"We see that Zuo Li did not give up. After Curry went down, he held the ball alone, singled out Kansas' entire defense line, and forced a breakthrough to cause Sasha's foul. In the last 2 seconds, Zuo Li took the final free throw of the first half."
"Huh~" Zuo Li rubbed his shoulders. Scenes like this had happened many times in the first half. As long as they found that Zuoli's singles could not be prevented, Kansas would foul very firmly.
Holding his breath, Zuo Li made two free throws, and the score difference returned to 11 points, which was also the final score difference between the two teams in the first half.
How to say this point difference, it's not that he has to play, but the first half of the game did not give Davidson the confidence to come back.
Maybe you can understand that in some games, the difference in points is not big, but there is a big gap in the actual performance.
That's it for tonight.
Pierce is not stingy in his praise of his alma mater. He believes that Kansas has played a particularly correct tactic:
"Kansas is worthy of being the most balanced team. Their offense played well and all 8 players scored. Chalmers scored 11 points. Except for Zuoli's 18 points, he was the highest in the game."
"But I want to praise their defense, they did a great job, it set an example for all the teams that played Davis, tough defense, very physical confrontation, and, they targeted Curry, I I like this tactic very much, usually people tend to ignore Curry, the guy with 25 points per game will be ignored, obviously because of Zuo Li."
"But Kansas found this out. They used a fierce confrontation to make Curry lose sight. At the same time, a determined foul put Curry's thin body to the test. Brandon Rush gave up his offense, and he stared. Curry, and on offense, they keep using Chalmers to single out Curry."
"2-of-10 from 4 at halftime, missed one 3-pointer, and 4 turnovers and 3 fouls. Obviously, Curry is limited to death, which is why Davidson is behind by double digits."
"As long as he continues to play like this in the second half, Davidson will have no power to fight back."
"OH, SHIT! My little brother seems to be in a bit of trouble." Rasheed Wallace shook his fist from the bench and seemed to know his habit. There was no one sitting next to him...
"Almost, you can't expect one person to save a team. It's good for Davidson to get there. That kid is already very good at playing. He can still score 18 points on 65% of his free throws. The opponent looks at him. Too dead, he still needs to grow." Billups is indeed the brain of the court, and the situation in the first half was analyzed in a few words.
"Yes, Chauncey is right, it's just one game, you don't really want to drag that kid to our team, give it up, it's impossible, even if he loses, he can't fall behind." spread hands.
"I still don't know, I just admire that guy very much, and who said that there will be no chance to cooperate in the future." Rasheed Wallace also felt that his teammates made sense, and sat down to watch and leave for a while.
I just didn't expect that, in one sentence, he and Zuo Liwei would actually work together in the future.
But that's all for later. Zuo Li doesn't know what the outside world thinks, but he obviously can't give up.
"Stephen, you did a good job. You rest first in the second half. When you come back, I will block it for you. As long as you have a chance, don't be soft-hearted. If you can't make a shot, I will help you rebound!"
"Anthony, you can't watch them run wild on your head, be fierce, be fierce, they will foul, and so will we!"
"Jason, except Curry, it's your three-point accuracy. Go to the two corners or stay in your comfortable position. I pass, you shoot, understand!"
"They are a good opponent, but they have already used their milk-feeding strength. They will not be much better than us. In the second half, we will hit them hard. UU Reading "
"Do you want to go home? Do you want to graduate with regrets? If you don't want to, then do your best!"
Zuo Li roared loudly in the locker room, they haven't given up!
And Zuo Li's words were obviously effective. In a blink of an eye, their fighting spirit was rekindled. At the beginning of the second half, everyone rushed upwards screaming.
There was fire in his eyes.
Perhaps it is to describe such a moment.
And Zuo Li also proved everything with practical actions.
Holding the ball at the top of the arc, it opened 1-4, and Sam Goude made a strong surge. The moment Sasha pounced, Zuoli directly rose up, collided in the air, and the unbalanced Zuoli still threw the ball!
brush!
"2+1! Zuo Li scored a key goal, he hasn't given up yet!"
On the defensive end, Kansas had already run out of space, Zuo Li was stunned to chase the defense in three strides, and pressed Chalmers' layup on the backboard.
"This is the no-fly zone!" Zuo Li even took off the rebound before he landed, smashed it forward, passed it to himself a second later, dribbled the ball away from the defense, and scored two more points!
5-0, Kansas was stopped!
After coming back from the timeout, Chalmers continued to open the gap with a three-pointer, while Zuo Liqiang dashed the ball, and Jason responded with a color from the bottom corner!
Zuo Li assists +1!
And Brandon Rush scored a 2+1, left standing behind the basket and asked for the ball and scored a 2+1, and also beat Sasha for 4 fouls!
In 7 minutes, Zuo Li personally scored 9 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 assists, keeping the point difference at around 8 points.
Violent fouls and collisions could not shake Zuo Li's will to score.
Pierce was a little moved: "Zuo Li, he carried Davidson on his shoulders, a real man, I'm starting to like him."
