Chapter 61: A truly outstanding person cannot be restricted
"Vucevic, you go up, contain the opponent's center, and protect the rebound."
"Ty, you go back to the 4, limit Earl Clark, you are the same height, and your weight is the advantage."
Then he turned his head and said to Lian Dao: "Sickle, you go back to the third position and pay attention to Terrence Williams' breakthrough."
"DeMar, when sickle is double-teamed, you need to stand up and score! Concentrate!"
DeMar nodded when he heard Tim's request. His shooting suddenly didn't feel like before, and when he broke through to the basket, he was likely to be defended by the opponent's forward.
So just now the offense has not been going well, but this is indeed my own reason, and Demar has nothing to say.
"Where is I!"
Lian Dao patted DeMar on the shoulder.
After returning from the timeout, Lian Dao asked for the ball directly from beyond the three-point line.
After receiving the ball, Lian Dao made a dragging step with his right hand and accelerated the breakthrough. At this time, Terrence Williams directly retreated to defend Lian Dao's breakthrough.
But Lian Dao made an emergency stop and dribbled the ball back under his crotch.
Then reset the footsteps to connect to the double disguise.
This directly confuses Terrence Williams' defensive focus, making him focus on Lian Dao's left breakthrough.
But then Lian Dao turned around and passed Terrence Williams directly.
Then there is a big stride, pull the bar to avoid Earl Clark's supplementary defense, and score a layup.
After Lian Dao scored the goal, he grabbed the jersey with his hands and roared at Terrence Williams.
Lian Dao didn't want to put all the offensive pressure on DeMar alone. At this time, he needed to stand up and score to help DeMar share the pressure.
38:28.
The University of Southern California re-established a 10-point advantage!
The Louisville Cardinals frontcourt, with Terrence Williams at the 3-point line with his back against Lian Dao.
Lian Dao directly chose to defend sideways, thereby limiting Terrence Williams' reception, and with luck, he could even form a steal.
But I didn't expect that Terrence Williams' height of 198 centimeters was very flexible, and he directly leaned against Lian Dao and turned to the other side to ask for the ball.
However, he underestimated Lian Dao's flexibility, and Lian Dao followed his turn to the other side.
Whenever Terrence Williams moves, Lian Dao moves with him.
And Earl Clark in the interior was also tightly restricted by Gibson, and he didn't have a chance to catch the ball at all.
Preston Knowles saw that neither the forward nor the paint could score, so he passed the ball to shooting guard Jerry Smith.
Jerry Smith drives to the basket after receiving the ball.
His speed was very fast, and he turned around and passed Demar. Seeing this, Lian Dao just moved directly to defend.
Jerry Smith saw Lian Dao make up the defense and pass the basketball directly to the outside.
However, Lian Dao stretched out his hand and cut it off.
Lian Dao felt that something was wrong when he accelerated his advance to the inner line.
Jerry Smith's physical fitness is not very good, and it is impossible for him to escape the inside defense and make a successful layup when he breaks into the inside.
But he still broke through to the inside as always.
Why, because he wants to attract double teams and create opportunities for his teammates.
If it was Gibson covering the defense, he would pass the ball directly to Earl Clark, so that Earl Clark could directly score a layup.
As for Lian Dao's defense, he passed back to Terrence Williams on the outside.
Sure enough, Lian Dao guarded against his outside pass when making up defense.
After the cut, Lian Dao threw a long pass.
It was DeMar again. After he rushed out of the perimeter to get the ball first, he ran like a wild horse all the way, and he needed to take on the second scoring point!
His speed is so fast that others can't catch up at all.
Later generations called it "Jordan is an enhanced version of DeRozan without three points". Although it is a bit exaggerated, it can be compared with marinated eggs.
That shows that this player's strength is very strong, even if it is a weakened version of a marinated egg.
In a blink of an eye, DeMar had already reached the frontcourt, soared into the air directly from the free throw line, followed by a tomahawk dunk!
"bump!"
I have to say that good physical fitness means that you can do whatever you want!
This dunk once again ignited the enthusiasm of USC fans!
40:28.
The University of Southern California re-established a big score advantage!
And when he returned to the defensive end, DeMar found Lian Dao and gave him a high five!
He understood the help from Lian Dao in this round.
When defending, Terrence Williams no longer chose to ask for the ball, but firmly stuck in the main position, preventing Lian Dao from having the opportunity to help defend.
The purpose of this is to create opportunities for Jerry Smith to score or pass the ball after cutting.
But this time DeMar directly followed Jerry Smith's footsteps on the outside.
Preston Knowles drives for a layup after receiving the ball from the other side.
And when the basketball goes up and hits the board.
A huge palm suddenly covered the basketball.
The owner of that palm is Lian Dao.
Preston Knowles was a little surprised!
Shouldn't Lian Dao be near the three-point line? Didn't Terrence Williams block Lian Dao?
Why is he around the rim?
These are the three questions that flashed through Preston Knowles' mind.
Terrence Williams did block Lian Dao just now, but it was Lian Dao who deliberately let Terrence Williams get stuck.
This is also for the outside players of the Louisville Cardinals, otherwise how could they layup without defense?
Seeing that Preston Knowles had been fooled, Lian Dao turned around and got rid of Terrence Williams' position.
Lian Dao's speed and flexibility are not lost to Terrence Williams, and his strength is superior. It is not easy to get rid of Terrence Williams' position!
"bump!"
With a slap, the basketball was ruthlessly placed on the backboard If you take a close-up of the basketball at this time, you will find that the moment Lian Dao slaps it, the basketball deforms sharply.
Moreover, after landing, Lian Dao quickly took off for the second time and took the basketball before Samardo Samuels.
After returning from the timeout, the Louisville Cardinals failed to make two consecutive offenses.
At this time, there are still 10 seconds before the first half of the game.
After Lian Dao received the ball, he passed it directly to Daniel Hackett, and then rushed towards the frontcourt.
Outside the three-point line, Lian Dao received a pass, and there were 5 seconds left in the attack time.
A back dribble out of Terrence Williams' hands with 4 seconds left.
Immediately after a cross step, he stopped suddenly, looked at the basket, and made a tentative step with his right foot diagonally forward.
Terrence Williams has some uncontrolled drop-backs.
There are still 2 seconds left.
But immediately after, Lian Dao pulled the ball back, took a side step and made a three-pointer.
There is still 1 second left.
"brush!"
Hit a three-pointer and the indicator light turns red!
43:28.
USC ended the first half with a 15-point lead.
Kenny looked at Barkley with a smile.
Barkley dodged his eyes, not daring to meet Kenny Smith's gaze.
Seriously pretending to analyze the game seriously.
But Kenny didn't believe this fat man at all, and just looked at Barkley with a smile.
Barkley was really fluffed by Kenny.
"Well, I admit, I was wrong. It is impossible for a truly outstanding person to be restricted!"
Barkley laughed to hide his embarrassment.
"He's smart, and he's always playing to his strengths!"
