Chapter 17 Are you a softie who can only shoot threes?
Oklahoma's home fans were directly ignited by this ferocious dunk, and the entire arena fell into a frenzy. The enthusiastic fans waved their banners wildly, and tsunami-like cheers filled the entire arena.
Wilkinson is worthy of being a senior player. He has seen big scenes and has excellent psychological quality. Although he was frightened by Griffin's beastly dunk, he was still not frightened. After Lian Dao and Gibson got up, he directly Striving hard to return to defense. If it were Vucevic, he would definitely have psychological fluctuations and even be hit.
Lian Dao didn't feel anything about this. Before his rebirth, he had seen too many players with outstanding physical talents, such as future Zion Williamson, Antetokounmpo, etc. These players' physical fitness was even better than Griffin.
On the USC side, the point guard dribbled the ball across half court and handed it to DeRozan. DeRozan accelerated past the defender and jumped to shoot.
His technical movements were smooth and his breakthrough shot was completed in one go. However, the ball went too far after the release and hit the neck of the basket directly.
This ball is also the epitome of DeRozan's next three rounds. In these three rounds, DeRozan seemed to be wearing gloves and couldn't make any shots.
They were beaten 8:0 by Oklahoma City.
The score directly became: 11:3, 8 points behind.
Lian Dao thought that if he continued to vote like this, the game would basically be over.
"Hey, DeMar, calm down, leave it to me, you adjust first." So, he patted DeRozan on the shoulder and asked him to calm down.
Tim also noticed something was wrong with DeRozan and called a timeout. This time, instead of reprimanding him, he told DeRozan to reduce his offense with the ball and made a bowl of chicken soup for all the players before going on the court.
Lian Dao actually guessed where DeRozan's problem lies. Many media reporters and NBA scouts came to this game today. DeRozan made a super long three-pointer when he saw himself coming on the court, which made him also He was a little anxious to express himself, but everything was too much. After he missed the first shot, he became a little anxious.
Then the more anxious DeRozan became, the worse his touch and shooting form became. On the fourth ball, he directly took the shot against the blockage of two defenders. If this kind of ball could be scored, then he would directly become the star of the Bulls dynasty that year. Braised eggs.
Pause and come back.
Lian Dao took over the ball again. Although Lian Dao made a super long three-pointer before, the opponent didn't seem to be very worried about Lian Dao's scoring method. In the current NCAA league, this kind of super long three-pointer The way the points are scored is unreasonable, it's too tactile, and it's impossible to keep advancing.
Indeed, the current NCAA does not shoot super long three-pointers as crazy as later generations. Even Davidson's elementary school students only occasionally shoot super long three-pointers.
But Lian Dao's crazy scoring next told all NCAA coaches: traditional thinking kills people.
In the next game, Lian Dao shot 3 long-range three-pointers in succession and hit 2 of them. In addition to the three-pointer he hit in the opening, Lian Dao shot 4 three-pointers in the first 8 minutes and hit 2 of them. 3 shots.
In the previous rounds, his teammates defended several attacks from the University of Oklahoma, especially DeRozan. This guy saw that he had no feel for shooting, and then he put all his energy on defense, twice in a row. Stealing the pass from opposing point guard Willie Warren to Austin Johnson. Gibson also gave Griffin a solid block on one of the possessions.
And DeRozan, who had adjusted well, made a mid-range shot and a layup after a breakthrough.
Other teammates also made good gains.
In these rounds, USC directly played a wave: 18:6, rewriting the score to 17:21.
USC achieves lead.
At this time Lian Dao once again held the ball outside the three-point line.
Tony Crocker glanced at the head coach Jeff Capel on the bench, as if asking whether to double-team. Jeff Capel was also very confused. He came from the previous games of USC.
We know from the video that the kid is not only accurate in three-pointers, but also very good in passing. Compared with unreliable three-pointers, he is more worried about Lian Dao's passing.
So, he shook his head at Tony Crocker, meaning: continue to defend alone.
Tony understood what the head coach meant, and at this time he was also very angry after Lian Dao's three-pointer.
"Are you a weakling who can only shoot three-pointers?" Although Tony stared nervously at Lian Dao's dribbling, he was not idle.
Lian Dao just smiled slightly when he heard this. This kind of rubbish was even more ridiculous than a primary school student shouting that the other party only knows how to punch after being punished by fists.
Lian Dao calmly slapped the basketball in his hand. Tony didn't dare to step forward to grab it. He knew from the video that the kid opposite him was very good at dribbling and had certain breakthrough abilities. If he took the risk and stepped forward to steal it,
It's easy to miss a tackle and get breached.
This was indeed a trap set by Lian Dao, but Tony didn't expect to fall for it.
So, he directly made a large-scale disguise and faked a breakthrough. Tony remained unmoved and just moved his feet quickly to block Lian Dao's breakthrough route.
Lian Dao didn't feel it was a pity. He quickly took a step back with his outside foot to distance himself from Tony. At the same time, he dribbled backward with his outside hand and raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer.
Lian Dao didn't even think about breaking through. He was quite confident in his ability to break through with the ball.
Tony saw that Lian Dao's previous breakthrough was a fake move. In fact, he stepped back to open up space and then shot a three-pointer. This shocked him and he quickly stepped forward and jumped to stop it.
Bang, Tony Crocker hit Lian Dao on the wrist with his right hand before Lian Dao could take action.
Lian Dao also threw the basketball in his hand before the whistle sounded. Lian Dao's hand was hit, and he did not control the force of the basketball well when he shot it, and the ball hit the inside of the basket and bounced out.
"Beep", the referee's whistle was very timely.
"Look, I can not only shoot three-pointers, but I can also draw fouls." Lian Dao smiled and spread his hands towards the small forward, showing a helpless expression on his face, and he was in need of a beating.
"FUCK", Tony Crocker also hated Lian Dao with itch.
Lian Dao went to the free throw line and made 2 of 3 free throws.
At this time, University of Oklahoma head coach Jeff Capel couldn't sit still and directly asked the scorer for a timeout.
Tim patted the players coming off the field on the shoulders as always.
After Lian Dao came off the field, he sat down on the bench and took large gulps of mineral water into his stomach to replenish the lost water, breathing heavily.
In order to prevent the University of Oklahoma from playing defensive counterattack, Lian Dao basically sprinted 100 meters every time he returned to defense. On the offensive end, he also had to organize attacks and struggle to get rid of defensive shots. In this fierce game mode, he directly
Lian Dao, who was not in good physical condition, felt very tired.
The opposing head coach Jeff Capel also saw Lian Dao's physical problems, and then directly sent out double-team tactics, forcing Lian Dao to make mistakes.
"What's going on? Can you still hold on? Why don't you take a rest first?" Tim couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Lian Dao panting heavily with sweat.
"It's okay, I can hold on, it's better than being too close." Lian Dao gasped and tried to speak as little as possible.
Tim also knew what Lian Dao meant. The score was now 17:23, a 6-point lead. This lead was not very safe.
Return from pause
Lian Dao caught the ball outside the three-point line.
Tony decisively called Taylor Griffin to double-team Lian Dao. Lian Dao did not stick to the ball and directly threw the ball through the seam and cut back to Gibson who was under the basket. Gibson received the ball and jumped up to dunk.
"Don't even think about it"
At this time, Griffin saw Gibson's loss and hurriedly stepped forward to cover the defense. He stood up and wanted to give Gibson a big block. As a senior, Gibson was very experienced in playing. He did not force a dunk, but directly threw the basketball in his hand.
After a pass from the basket, Wilkinson caught the ball and dunked directly.
This time, the tacit double-teaming and dunking after two passes basically proved that the opponent's double-teaming on Lian Dao was Liang Shanbo's strategist - useless.
But in the next offensive attack of the University of Oklahoma, Taylor Griffin made a layup and caused Wilkinson to foul. In addition to the previous two fouls, Wilkinson had already committed 3 fouls. The number of fouls in the NCAA game reached 5.
Will be sent off once.
Tim also had a headache when he saw Wilkinson's foul, but he didn't dare to take Wilkinson off the court now. He is currently the tallest player on the field. Although he moves slowly, his huge physique can still give him a big blow.
Some pressure on Blake Griffin.
Coupled with Wilkinson's departure, USC currently has no one available at the center position.
Tyler Griffin made two free throws very accurately.
