Chapter 63 Break the NCAA double record for three-pointers
Instead, he said the template in his mind: "I think it's Lamar Odom, the defensive three-point version of Odom!"
But then he shook his head!
In terms of offense, Odom has always been known for his comprehensive skills. He is tall as a power forward, has the ability to shoot from long range (less than 3 points), and can break through with the ball. Lian Dao is very similar to him in this regard.
But Odom can use his flexible footsteps to score in isolation under the basket, which Lian Dao cannot match.
Of course, this does not rule out the possibility of training inside moves later.
But Odom's strength is actually not dominant in the fourth position.
He knows his own strengths and weaknesses, so when he encounters opponents who are slow and strong, he will use his speed and technology to break through; when he encounters opponents who are fast and weak, he will get down to the low position and fight in singles.
But Lian Dao's strength has always been at an advantage, but it's hard to say whether Barkley will still be at an advantage at the 4th position in the NBA!
In terms of shooting, mid-range shots are a skill that Odom is good at. Although 3-pointers are not as accurate as shooters, he can always choose a more reasonable shot timing.
This is exactly the opposite of Lian Dao, who is good at three-point shooting but average at mid-range shooting!
In terms of defense, Lian Dao has always been good at defense, which is also different from Odom.
The main reason is that Odom's defense is still limited by strength and flexibility. The fourth position does not have the strength advantage, and the third position does not have the speed and flexibility advantage.
Kenny also disagreed with Barkley's answer. In comparison, Kenny's version of Tracy McGrady was more appropriate.
Including height and wingspan, Lian Dao and McGrady are really similar.
And McGrady's three-point ability is also very accurate. Otherwise, there would be no McGrady moment: 35 seconds and 13 minutes!
On the field, the Louisville Cardinals could not limit USC's scoring, and chasing points was out of the question.
The faces of Louisville Cardinals fans were full of despair. In the last 8 minutes of the second half of the game, many Louisville Cardinals fans had already begun to leave the field.
The cheers of USC fans reached its peak.
With 1 minute left in the game, USC led the Louisville Cardinals by 22 points, 103:81.
Tim also substituted all the main players. If they can come back with 22 points in one minute, then USC will admit it.
It turns out that there is no Tracy McGrady moment in the NCAA, and there is no McGrady moment for the Louisville Cardinals.
At the end of the game, the final score was fixed at 105:85.
"Sickle, did you know? You broke two NCAA three-goal records!"
In fact, when Tim told Lian Dao that he broke the record for three-pointers in a single game and three-pointers in a season, Lian Dao was confused the whole time.
If it was just a record for three-pointers in a single season, Lian Dao wouldn't be so surprised, because after the last game Lian Dao knew that he was not far away from the record for three-pointers in a single season.
But Lian Dao didn't notice the record for three-pointers in a single game.
In the last 10 minutes, most of Lian Dao's shots relied on his body's muscle memory to instinctively shoot. He has forgotten how many three-pointers he made in this game.
But when he was finally substituted, Tim told Lian Dao that he had broken a double record in this game. Only then did Lian Dao know what he had done!
At this time, the big screen also displayed the news that Lian Dao had broken both records.
USC fans did not leave the field because the game was over. Instead, they watched Lian Dao record three-pointers on the big screen and burst out with the loudest cheers in the audience.
Even the fans of the Louisville Cardinals stopped and watched Lian Dao's wonderful three-point shot clip on the screen. They also applauded and cheered for this handsome 19-year-old boy to break the NCAA double record!
Every record is remembered because whoever can break it is a legend!
Being able to witness the birth of a legend is also a source of pride in later life.
This game is another one that requires no physical strength.
Lian Dao, who was double-teamed most of the time, basically bottomed out in the last ten minutes.
However, I managed to hold on with just one breath.
It's okay during the game, but once I sit on the bench, I never want to get up again.
Effort and reward are directly proportional.
The entire game lasted for 39 minutes, which was also Lian Dao's longest playing time.
In this game, Lian Dao made 20 of 32 field goals and 16 of 24 three-pointers, scoring an NCAA career-high 56 points!
It also broke the single-game record of 15 of 25 three-pointers set by Keith Vinnie in a game between Marshall and Morehead State on December 15, 1996.
At the same time, this game also broke the single-season record for three-pointers made by Stephen Curry last season: 162 three-pointers in the 2008 season.
The record for three-pointers made in a single season has been expanded to 169. This record is not yet the final record because USC still has the NCAA semifinals to play.
Some Louisville Cardinals fans who left the game prematurely were also very regretful, because it is great luck to witness the birth of a legend in a person's life, but they chose to leave the game at this moment!
The Louisville Cardinals looked at Lian Dao with very complicated eyes. They were also written into the history of the NCAA, but they were written into the history of the NCAA in the form of a background board.
I believe that when people mention the three-point field goal record in the future, the first thing people think of is Lian Dao, and the second one is the Louisville Cardinals!
The Louisville Cardinals did not shake hands and hug the University of Southern California after the game. Rick Pitino looked at Lian Dao and shook his head with a wry smile.
This is the first time in his playing career that he has felt powerless because of a player!
After glancing at the big screen above the stadium, Rick Pitino sighed and turned towards the tunnel.
It is possible that only Rick Pitino attended today's press conference!
All the players are cheering for reaching the final four in the country and for Lian Dao breaking the double record!
It wasn't until head coach Tim reminded him to attend a press conference that all the players became quiet.
Also attending the press conference this time were Lian Dao, DeMar and Gibson.
Apart from Lian Dao and DeMar, the one who impressed everyone the most in this game was Gibson.
In this game, Gibson's rebounding, defense and offense at the basket left a deep impression on everyone, and his cooperation with Lian Dao's high pick-and-roll pass also made the scouts and media in the audience shine.
Gibson also scored a triple-double in this game with 18 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists and 5 blocks.
After this game, Gibson's draft prediction ranking will rise to around the top 15.
Because even Earl Clark, who was suppressed by Gibson, can be ranked in the top fifteen in the draft, I believe Gibson's performance will make more teams interested in him!
As for DeMar, his draft ranking has always been in the top ten before March Madness, and before March Madness, Demar's ranking has always been ahead of Lian Dao.
But March Madness also gives DeMar a chance to compete with James Harden.
In particular, his excellent physical fitness and excellent mid-range scoring ability have made many teams favor Demar.
There is no way, in terms of physical fitness, they are more willing to believe in blacks and whites. If it weren't for Dayao's outstanding record and Dayao's own commercial value, Hugh City would have a lot to eat and many teams would be very disappointed.
