Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"Is everything okay?"

In the 19th minute of the first half, Zuo Li once again helped up Curry who was knocked to the floor. This was the fifth time in the first half that he was knocked to the ground violently.

But what's more serious is that this time it was still Curry's defensive foul. On the offensive end, Chalmers made two pick-and-rolls in a row, just to find Curry for a single. In the end, he found an opportunity and knocked Curry over with a fierce attack.

Take away the foul.

This was Curry's third foul in the first half. In the NCAA, he was actually in foul trouble.

"I'm fine, man, just let me slow down, I can still fight." Curry stood up and propped up his knees. Big beads of sweat dripped on the floor, but he didn't even have the strength to wipe them away.

Zuo Li stretched out his hand to signal the service staff outside the court to come in and wipe the floor, and extended a hand to signal Coach Bob to replace Curry and take a rest.

Coach Bob nodded and even though the first half only lasted half a minute, he still replaced Curry early.

This move made countless fans of Davidson College feel heartbroken, and the fans who supported them at the scene fell into silence.

43-30, at this time Davidson was already 13 points behind.

This is the first time this season that Davidson has trailed by more than 10 points at halftime, and it is also the first time in Zuoli's career.

All this seems to indicate that Davidson's dark horse status will fade today, and winning seems to be so difficult.

"We saw that Zuo Li did not give up. After Curry went down, he held the ball alone and singled out the entire Kansas defense. He forced a breakthrough and caused Sasha's foul. In the last 2 seconds, Zuo Li took the last 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 they couldn't guard Zuo Li's singles, Kansas was very determined to commit the foul.

Breathing steadily, Zuo Li made two free throws, and the score difference returned to 11 points. This was also the final score difference between the two teams in the first half.

How can I put this point difference? It's not that there is no need to fight, but the first half of the game did not give Davidson the confidence to make a comeback.

Maybe you can understand that in some games, the score difference seems to be not big, but the actual inside performance is very different.

That's it tonight.

Pierce did not hesitate to praise his alma mater. He believed that Kansas played particularly correct tactics:

"Kansas is indeed the most balanced team. Their offense was impressive. All eight players on the field scored. Chalmers scored 11 points. Except for Zuo Li's 18 points, he was the highest in the game."

"But I want to praise their defense. They did a great job. This 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 who scores 25 points per game is not taken seriously. Obviously this is because of Zuo Li."

"But Kansas discovered this. They used fierce confrontation to make Curry lose his sight. At the same time, their determined fouls put Curry's thin body to a great test. Brandon Rush gave up his offense and he stared hard.

Curry, and on the offensive end, they continue to use Chalmers to isolate Curry."

"At halftime, he made 2 of 10 4-point shots, missed a three-pointer, had 4 turnovers and 3 fouls. It was obvious that Curry was restricted. This is why Davidson fell behind by double digits."

"As long as we continue to play like this in the second half, Davidson will not be able to fight back."

"Oh, shit! My little brother seems to be in some trouble." Rasheed Wallace shook his fist on the bench, as if he knew this habit, and there was no one sitting next to him...

"Pretty much, you can't expect one person to save a team. It's already good that Davidson has come this far. That kid is already very good at shooting. He shot 65% from the free throw line and scored 18 points. The opponent respects him.

It's too bad, he still needs to grow." Billups is indeed the brains on the court, and he analyzed the situation in the first half in just a few words.

"Yes, Chauncey is right. It's just a game. You don't really want to drag that kid into our team. Just give up. It's impossible. Even if he loses, he can't fall behind." Hamilton said.

Spread your hands.

"I don't know, I just admire that guy very much, and who says there won't be a chance to cooperate in the future." Rasheed Wallace also felt that what his teammates said made sense, so he sat down and prepared to leave after watching for a while.

I just didn't expect that he and Zuo Li would actually work together in the future.

But that's all for later. Zuo Li doesn't know what the outside world thinks, but it's obviously impossible for him to 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 there is a chance, don't be soft. 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 for Curry, it is your three-point accuracy. Go to the two corners or stay in your comfortable position. I will pass the ball and you will shoot. Do you understand?"

"They are a good opponent, but they have already used their strength. They will not be much better than us. In the second half, we have to attack them hard."

"Do you want to go home? Do you want to graduate with regrets? If not, then go for it!"

Zuo Li roared loudly in the locker room, they haven't given up yet!

Zuo Li's words obviously had a great effect. In the blink of an eye, their fighting spirit was rekindled. At the beginning of the second half, everyone rushed up screaming.

There was fire in his eyes.

Maybe it’s a way to describe moments like this.

Zuo Li also proved everything with practical actions.

Holding the ball at the top of the arc, 1-4 opened, Sam Goad made a strong push. At the moment Sasha pounced on him, Zuo Li directly pushed up and collided in the air. Zuo Li, who lost his balance, still threw the ball!

brush!

"21! Zuo Li scored the key goal and he hasn't given up yet!"

On the defensive end, Kansas had already run out of the open space, but Zuo Li took three giant strides to pursue the defense and pinned Chalmers' layup on the backboard.

"This is a no-fly zone!" Zuo Li even picked up the backboard before landing, smashed it forward, and passed it to himself one second later. He dribbled the ball with his hips and shook off the defense, scoring two more points!

5-0, Kansas was stopped!

After the timeout, Chalmers continued to widen the gap with a three-pointer, while Zuo Li made a strong breakthrough and Jason fired back from the bottom corner!

Zuo Li assists 1!

And Brandon Rush scored 21 with a sudden attack. Zuo Li stood under the basket and turned around to get the ball, which also scored 21. He also beat Sasha for 4 fouls!

In 7 minutes, Zuo Li had 9 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 assists, keeping the point difference at around 8 points.

Brutal fouls and collisions could not shake Zuo Li's will to score.

Pierce was a little moved: "Zuo Li, he put Davidson on his shoulders, what a man, I started to like him."
