Chapter 61 A truly outstanding person cannot be restricted
"Vucevic, come on, contain the opponent's center and protect the rebound."
"Ty, you return to the fourth position and restrain Earl Clark. You are the same height and your weight is an advantage."
Then he turned to Lian Dao and said: "Sickle, go back to position three and pay attention to Terrence Williams' breakthrough."
"Demar, when sickle is double-teamed, you need to step up and score! Focus!"
Demar nodded when he heard Tim's request. His shot suddenly had no feel before, and when he broke through to the basket, he was likely to be defended by the opponent's forward.
Therefore, the offense has not been going well just now, but this is indeed his own fault, and Demar has nothing to say.
"Where am I!"
Lian Dao patted Demar on the shoulder.
After returning from the timeout, Lian Dao asked for the ball directly from outside the three-point line.
After receiving the ball, Lian Dao made a drag step with the ball 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 back from his hip.
Then reset the steps to connect the double phase.
This directly confused Terrence Williams' defensive focus, causing him to focus on Lian Dao's breakthrough from the left.
But then Lian Dao turned around and passed Terrence Williams directly.
Then he took a big step, pulled the lever to avoid Earl Clark's defense, and scored a layup.
After Lian Dao scored, he directly grabbed the jersey with his hands and roared at Terrence Williams.
Lian Dao doesn't want to put all the offensive pressure on Demar alone. At this time, he needs to step up and score to help Demar share the pressure.
38:28.
USC re-establishes 10-point advantage!
In the Louisville Cardinals frontcourt, Terrence Williams backs up Lian Dao at the three-point line.
Lian Dao made a direct cut and chose to defend sideways, thus limiting Terrence Williams' ability to catch the ball. If he was lucky, he could also make a steal.
But I didn't expect that Terrence Williams, who is 198 centimeters tall, is very flexible. He leaned directly on Lian Dao and turned to the other side to ask for the ball.
However, he underestimated Lian Dao's flexibility, and Lian Dao followed him to the other side.
Whenever Terrence Williams moves, Lian Dao moves with him.
Earl Clark on the inside was also restricted by Gibson and had no chance to catch the ball.
Preston Knowles found that neither the forward nor the post could score, so he passed the ball to shooting guard Jerry Smith.
Jerry Smith caught the ball and drove to the basket.
He was very fast and turned around to pass Demar. Seeing this, Lian Dao just moved over to cover his defense.
Jerry Smith saw Lian Dao's defense and directly passed the basketball to the outside.
However, Lian Dao reached out and cut it off.
When he accelerated his inside rush in previous periods, Lian Dao sensed something was wrong.
Jerry Smith's physical fitness is not very good, and it is impossible for him to dodge the defense inside and make a successful layup if he breaks into the paint.
But he still broke through inside as always.
Why, because he wants to attract double teams and create opportunities for his teammates.
If Gibson is on defense, he will pass the ball directly to Earl Clark, so Earl Clark can directly score a layup.
Lian Dao made up the defense and passed it back to Terrence Williams on the outside.
Sure enough, Lian Dao was guarding against his outside pass when he was defending.
After cutting it off, Lian Dao threw his hand and made a long pass.
It's DeMar again. After he was the first to rush out and get the ball, he ran like a wild horse. He needs to be the second scoring point!
His speed is so fast that others can't catch up.
Later generations were called "Jordan is an enhanced version of DeRozan without three-pointers." Although it is a bit exaggerated, it can be compared with braised eggs.
That shows that this player is very strong, even if he is a weakened version of Braised Egg.
In the blink of an eye, DeMar had reached the frontcourt, soared directly into the free throw line, and then followed with a tomahawk dunk!
"bump!"
I have to say that if you have good physical fitness, you can do whatever you want!
This dunk once again ignited the enthusiasm of USC fans!
40:28.
USC re-establishes a big score advantage!
When returning to the defensive end, Demar found Lian Dao and gave him a high-five!
He understood the help Lian Dao had given him in this round.
When defending, Terrence Williams no longer chose to ask for the ball, but firmly stayed in his position, preventing Lian Dao from having a chance to help defend.
The purpose of this is to create opportunities for Jerry Smith to score or pass after cutting.
But this time DeMar followed Jerry Smith directly on the outside.
Preston Knowles received the ball from the other side and drove for a layup.
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 is a little surprised!
Shouldn't Lian Dao be near the three-point line? Didn't Terrence Williams block Lian Dao?
Why is he near the basket?
Those are three questions that race through Preston Knowles' mind.
Terrence Williams did block Lian Dao just now, but it was Lian Dao who deliberately blocked Terrence Williams.
This is also for the Louisville Cardinals outside players. Otherwise, how could they get an unguarded layup?
When he saw that Preston Knowles had been fooled, Lian Dao turned around and got out of Terrence Williams' position.
Lian Dao's speed and flexibility are not inferior to those of Terrence Williams, and his strength is dominant. It is not easy to get out of Terrence Williams' position!
"bump!"
With a slap, the basketball hit the backboard hard.
If you take a close-up of the basketball at this time, you will find that the moment Lian Dao hits it, the basketball deforms sharply.
Moreover, Lian Dao quickly took off again after landing and collected the basketball before Samardo Samuels.
After returning from the timeout, the Louisville Cardinals failed to succeed in two consecutive attacks.
At this time, there were still 10 seconds left in the first half.
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 the pass and there were 5 seconds left in the attack time.
A behind-the-back dribble escaped the hands of Terrence Williams with 4 seconds left.
Then he stopped suddenly in a cross step, looked at the basket, and made a tentative step diagonally forward with his right foot.
Terrence Williams takes a somewhat uncontrolled step back.
There are 2 seconds left.
But then, Lian Dao pulled the ball back and took a side step for a three-pointer.
There is 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 advantage.
Kenny looked at Barkley with a smile.
Buckley's eyes dodge, not daring to meet Kenny Smith's gaze.
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 embarrassed by Kenny.
"Okay, I admit, I was wrong. Truly excellent people cannot be restricted!"
Buckley laughed to hide his embarrassment.
"He's smart and he always plays to his strengths!"
