The two previous coaches did not pay attention to Lian Dao's technical and physical talents at all. In their opinion, yellow people are not naturally suitable for playing basketball. Basketball is a sport for blacks and whites.
Even the scripts written by Lian Dao, who was a screenwriter in his previous life, were not favored by people in Hollywood. They thought that Chinese people could not write scripts well. At that time, Lian Dao was marginalized everywhere, and some directors did not even read Lian Dao's scripts.
He shook his head and said: NO. This sense of superiority deeply hurt Lian Dao's heart. In the end, he proved to the world that Chinese people can write scripts that affect the world.
Based on Landao's family situation, he actually does not need to play basketball to obtain financial resources. Based on his high school grades, he can choose an Ivy League school, choose business management that his parents want him to study, and then return to China to inherit the family fortune.
But he didn't. He didn't choose Stanford University, which is also in California and has a stronger academic atmosphere. Instead, he chose the University of Southern California, which has a relatively stronger basketball strength. This is because he wants to break the inherent concepts of Americans and he wants everyone to know
Basketball is not a sport only for blacks and whites. Chinese people of yellow race can also become the world's top basketball players.
…
Although Tim replaced Wilkinson on the court, because he had already received 4 fouls before, he was still timid in defense. The players of the University of Oklahoma also saw this, and they continued to
Breaking through to the inside, constantly looking for physical confrontation on Wilkinson.
Wilkinson didn't dare to move too far, which made Wilkinson, who was pretty defensively good, the biggest defensive slot on the field.
Players from the University of Oklahoma continued to drive inside, driving layups, dunks, jump shots, etc. against Wilkinson.
Finally, about 10 minutes into the second half, Blake Griffin dunked after a breakthrough, resulting in Wilkinson's blocking foul.
The score was 2+1, with the total score tied at 66:66. Griffin made an extra free throw, and the University of Oklahoma took the lead by one point at 67:66.
Wilkinson also received his fifth foul, which made him return to the court in frustration. Lian Dao patted his shoulder comfortingly.
"You've done a good enough job buddy, don't do this, leave the rest to us."
Wilkinson forced out a smile, nodded slowly, held Lian Dao's hand, and the two bumped shoulders.
"Come on, I believe in you, kill them, we will create the best start in the history of USC." Wilkinson was in a better mood and encouraged Lian Dao.
At this time, Tim saw that Lian Dao had recovered some strength, so he moved Lian Dao to the fourth position on the court, and misplaced him to defend the opponent's fifth position Blake Griffin. Lewis played the small forward position 3, and Gibson
Play center.
Although the height advantage of this lineup is lost, the flexibility has been enhanced, and the defense of this lineup has not declined. With Lian Dao and Gibson, both of them are now on the inside, and the defense on the inside is unprecedentedly strong. In addition,
The opponent's main player has been fighting on the court for 30 minutes and is already exhausted.
Lian Dao and the others might be able to launch a defensive counterattack.
As for USC, Lewis, as Lian Dao's substitute, did not play in the first half. He has only played for about 10 minutes now. His physical condition is still very good. Coupled with his height of 196cm, Lian Dao has not been promoted to the leader.
Before his career, he had been the starting small forward at USC.
In addition, the opponent's No. 3 Tony Crocker is not very good, so Lewis still has an advantage against Tony.
In addition, Lian Dao also rested for more than 20 minutes and recovered a lot of physical strength. At this time, he can also be used as a new force when he comes on the court.
This is indeed the case. After Lian Dao came on the field, his physical advantage soon became apparent after the break. Previously, Tony and Willie Warren double-teamed to defend Lian Dao's breakthrough, but now Lian Dao directly uses his physical strength.
The dominant player rushed to the basket. Although Blake Griffin was very tired at this time, he still gritted his teeth and came up to fill the position and rushed towards Lian Dao.
Lian Dao made a flexible 180-degree turn and went around Blake's body, preparing for a dunk. At this time, after Blake Griffin landed, he turned around and jumped directly. This physical quality is really worthy of being the best in the league in the future.
The white monster jumped very fast for the second time. He came up and greeted Lian Dao's injured basketball from behind. However, he found that although he jumped very fast and high, because he was one body away, he found that he
His short hands couldn't reach the basketball in Lian Dao's hand, and then...
"Pa"
"Bang"
"beep"
Griffin's short hand could only reach Lian Dao's wrist, and then he slapped his wrist. Lian Dao's slap caused the basketball in his hand to be unstable. He originally dunked with one hand, but he immediately stretched out his left hand to stabilize it.
After holding the basketball in his hand, he dunked instead of dunking with both hands.
Lian Dao also used his full strength to hit the ball and hit the basket hard. The entire basketball stand was shaken by Lian Dao's huge force.
The audience on the field was silent for a moment. They couldn't imagine why the thin bamboo pole of the opposing team had such great power. This was not consistent with common sense. Even their beast, the University of Oklahoma, couldn't be stopped.
"Shhh"
But then there were boos everywhere. Although they were shocked by the goal for a while, it was impossible to cheer for the opponent's players. After all, not every fan has the kind-heartedness of the Madison Square Garden fans in New York.
Lian Dao endured the boos and clapped the basketball in his hand hard. After adjusting his condition, he took the shot and scored.
Lian Dao was happy for his smooth breakthrough with the ball just now, and he couldn't help but smile on his face after making the free throw.
That’s what it feels like!
In this shot, he seemed to have caught an opportunity to combine flexibility, speed, strength, and skills, which made him a little excited. Although these talents had reached their current upper limit, he had not really exerted them.
He had the strength he deserved. He had only used the strength of a single talent before, but the individual talents were separate. Strength was strength, and speed was speed. It was like an open hand. Although it hurt to hit someone, he did not tighten it.
The fist is more powerful, and the coordination between talent and skills is a clenched fist.
In fact, this is also a sequelae of his individual talent improving too quickly, because not everyone has both a system and an inside skill. Even those basketball superstars took two or even several seasons to reach a certain height, and it is impossible for them.
A sudden improvement in strength can be achieved in two or three months. It is easier to solidify the foundation of a slowly growing strength through competitions.
Lian Dao cannot be like those talented superstars. They can grow slowly because their talent ceiling is high, and NBA teams are willing to gamble for those talented players.
But Lian Dao is different. He was a little transparent in high school. Only a small number of fans in California know him. Some NBA scouts and media have never heard of Lian Dao's name, so Lian Dao has to use the shortest term in college.
Use your time to reach the upper limit of your talent value, because only in this way can you get more attention.
Only in this way can he get a better ranking in ESPN's NCAA rankings, which is related to Lian Dao's NBA draft.
But what Lian Dao didn't know was that it was precisely because of his smile just now that it was captured by the director's camera and played on the huge screen above the stadium. This made all the male fans in the audience irritated because they felt that this smile
It was a mockery of his booing just now. Why were there only male fans? It was because the female fans were drunk on Lian Dao's smile. Their wolf-like eyes wanted to rush to the field and take Lian Dao directly to the small black room.
,Then……
Lian Dao's smile and the reaction of the female fans next to him caused the male fans of the home team to boo even louder.
Lian Dao was also startled by the boos, but he looked up at the screen and shook his head. There was nothing he could do about it. He was handsome and attracted hatred wherever he went.
