Chapter 22 Hole Cards
To Li Ran's surprise, it wasn't Chalmers, Ty Lawson or Brandon Rush who were most active after the game started.

The soul of North Carolina, Tyler Hansbrough scored 5 points and 6 rebounds in just 5 minutes.

Although there is no comparison between Hansbrough and his old senior Jordan in terms of achievements in the NBA, in the school history of North Carolina, Hansbrough is undoubtedly comparable to or even surpassed Jordan.

He is the pinnacle of this year's North Carolina school team.

The highest total scoring record of the three major players in ACC history, the scoring leader in North Carolina school history, the record of NCAA player career total free throws, and the 6th in the history of the NCAA tournament scoring list. A total of 2872 points and 1219 rebounds in four years of college. The only college player in NCAA history who has been selected to the All-American Team and the best team in the ACC Division for four consecutive years.

This series of honors allowed him to leave a strong mark in the history of the entire NCAA.

Under his leadership, North Carolina actually led the University of Kansas in the first half.

But in the second half, Kansas stepped up its defense on the inside, and North Carolina had to shift its offensive focus to the outside, preparing to rely on Wayne Ellington and Danny Green to support the scene.

Unexpectedly, under the defense of Kansas, North Carolina's shooters were collectively inaccurate, and Ty Lawson, who had the strongest breakthrough ability, was firmly defended by Chalmers.

In just 5 minutes of the second half, the University of Kansas tied the score and pursued the victory.

North Carolina played more and more anxiously, and the more anxious the players were, the worse their shooting touch was, forming a vicious circle of despair.

In the end, Kansas, which was behind in the first half, scored a big score.

They 84-66, sent themselves to the final with a beautiful reversal victory.

In the second half, Hansbrough still scored 13 of 6, 6 of 5 free throws, and scored 17 points and 9 rebounds in the second half.

泰劳森8中2，韦恩-艾灵顿21中8，丹尼格林13中6，三分球9中3.。。

On the other hand, University of Kansas small forward Brandon Rush scored a game-high 17 points on 11 of 25 shots. He not only performed efficiently on the offensive end, but also locked up Wayne Allen, one of North Carolina's outside cores, on the defensive end. Killington.

Seeing the Kansas players excitedly embracing and celebrating their entry into the finals after winning, Li Ran stood up with his hands on his knees.

"It's almost time for us to play."

He patted Rose on the shoulder with a faint smile on his lips.

After watching such a wonderful game, Li Ran is also full of desire to perform in the upcoming game of his own.

"Good luck to you guys, I'll cheer you on off the court."

Duncan waved his big hand back and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Tim! If I get the MOP, I will thank you when I announce the award." Li Ran and Duncan clapped their hands together, then put Rose on the shoulder, and the two brothers walked to the player tunnel together.

"It's time to come up with something new. If you don't take it out, it will be too late. You can't hide the champion because of your clumsiness." On the way to the locker room, Li Ran suddenly said to Rose.

Rose froze for a moment: "Feel the pressure?"

Li Ran shook his head: "No, just thinking about the expression on the opponent's face, I will find it very interesting."

At this moment, the UCLA players had assembled in the locker room, listening to their head coach Ben Horan's speech.

"Our focus for this game is still Derrick Rose and Chris Douglas Roberts."

Holland's first words set the players ablaze.

进入疯狂三月之后，孟菲斯大学那个闪电一般的华夏球员已经进入了所有人的视野，而他上场之后场均24.2分5篮板3.2助攻2.1抢断1.8盖帽的疯狂表现迅速为他带来了一大批粉丝。

As for the former Memphis scoring leader, CDR has gradually widened the gap with Li Ran and Rose in scoring due to the reduction of the ball.

In this case, the focus of defense should be on Rose and CDR. Isn't this digging your own grave?
"Today, Russell, you are in charge of defending Li Ran."

Huo Lan ordered again to Westbrook with a green face.

Mbappe's half-brother, Westbrook who looks like Donatello looks confused.

"You just have to remember that Li Ran's biggest shortcoming is that he has no outside shooting ability, nor does he have the vision to break through the ball. You only need to block his breakthrough route to lock him up."

Holland said confidently.

This is the conclusion he came to after studying all the videos of Li Ran in the knockout round.

In the previous four games, Li Ran took 55 shots in total, and hit 29 of them. Although the shooting rate was high, as many as 55 of his 49 shots were taken within the three-second zone, and 27 of them were hit. He only took 6 mid-range shots and three-pointers and hit 2 goals.

This surprised Holland extremely.

Although the NCAA allows zone defense, for Memphis, which has breakthrough madmen like Rose and Li Ran, there is only one end for zone defense, and that is to be broken into a sieve.

Therefore, the opponents of Memphis in the first few games all adopted a man-to-man defensive strategy.

Holland is no exception.

After much deliberation, he chose Westbrook, who had the most athletic ability, as the candidate to defend Li Ran.

Although Westbrook is nearly ten centimeters shorter than Li Ran, as long as he is not afraid of Li Ran's shooting, Huo Lan believes that Westbrook can still complete the task of defending Li Ran very well.

This kind of misplaced defense has a taste of Kaliapa letting Li Ran defend Love.

Entering the final four, all the teams no longer held back, and all showed their cards.

After a detailed explanation, the players suddenly realized that Westbrook grinned and patted his chest to promise that he would be able to complete the task.

In his mind, he was three meters away from Li Ran, mocking him by letting him shoot.

What Shao Wei didn't know was that this kind of image would accompany him for a long, long time in the future. . . .

On the other hand, Cariapa didn't tell the players too much.

This season's Memphis lineup is the strongest since he coached. In his opinion, it can even be compared to the Detroit Five Tigers.

Therefore, Cariapa has a mentality of sitting on the Diaoyutai and waiting for the heroes of the world to come and challenge him.

Two hours later, the Alamo Dome ushered in another climax.

The fans screamed and cheered wildly as the penultimate NCAA game at the Alamo Dome was also the penultimate NCAA game of the season.

Wearing the No. 0 jersey, Li Ran took the lead and strode out from the player tunnel.

Behind him are the members of the Memphis Tigers who are smug and high-spirited.

These young kings are only two steps away from lifting the final crown.
