It's still the same tactic, Lian Dao still attracts double-teams and then passes the ball to Gibson, but this time Vucevic tries his best to block Hashim and prevent Hashim from helping to defend Gibson.
But I didn't expect Jeff Adrian to directly give up Lian Dao and choose to return to defense.
Gibson was not aggressive and passed the ball directly to Lian Dao. Lian Dao passed the ball to Demar who ran out of space without stopping.
A Kobe-style open mid-range jumper.
"brush!"
22:13.
This set of silky passing also shows the tacit understanding of USC.
If you just look at the cooperation of your teammates, many people would not believe that this is a team with a majority of freshmen.
"Mike, can you imagine this is a team dominated by freshmen?" Jeff looked at this set of smooth passes and was in disbelief, so he asked Mike Breen.
Mike Breen shrugged and spread his hands.
"To be honest, I don't believe it either, but their main freshmen account for three people. They are indeed the most freshmen. If they don't participate in the draft this year, then the NCAA championship in the next few years will be meaningless!"
Mike Breen supported the University of Connecticut at the beginning, but he was very impressed to see this smooth cooperation!
In turn, Kemba Walker of the University of Connecticut made a three-pointer from the outside after his teammates picked and rolled.
22:16.
During this period, the score between the two teams was still tightly locked.
Lian Dao called Gibson on the outside for a pick-and-roll, and then rushed directly to the basket for a layup.
"Crack!"
Lian Dao's layup was slapped on the backboard by Hashim who was covering the ball.
The UConn fans in attendance were going crazy.
They seemed to see the all-powerful Hashem returning.
They thought this block would directly frustrate Lian Dao.
But when they turned their attention to Lian Dao.
Um?
Something seems wrong!
His expression didn't look like he was frustrated either.
It seems a bit more serious!
Gibson originally wanted to comfort his little brother.
However, looking at Lian Dao's expression, he knew it was no longer necessary.
At the same time, I also knew that Lian Dao was getting serious.
The last time I saw this kind of look was during the off-season death training 1V1, and it left a deep impression on Gibson.
That is: Never go 1V1 with a madman, unless you are crazier than him!
That's right, some people always get stronger when they are strong, and NBA superstars all have this talent.
You are like a braised egg in Chicago, you can still win the game even if you have a bad cold.
There is also Kobe Bryant, the Los Angeles snake, and so on.
The UConn bench also shook their towels crazily to celebrate Hashem's block.
Hashim then controlled the ball and handed it over to the point guard, and continued to show off his muscles.
I gave myself the big hat before to express my surprise!
This time they gave the ball to Hashim.
Hashim also wanted to use a turnaround and fadeaway jumper, but this time Lian Dao was already prepared for him.
After jumping from the side of Hashim, watch the timing of his shot, and then directly hit the volleyball-style big block.
The basketball was like a cannonball, flying straight to the opposite auditorium.
After completing this volleyball-style block, Lian Dao did not cheer at all, but went back to defense.
The volleyball-style big hat improves morale, but there is also a disadvantage: the ball is still owned by others.
And the opponent still has 14 seconds of attack time left.
This time Kemba Walker took a hasty shot from outside the three-point line and missed the three-pointer.
Hashim grabbed the offensive rebound and wanted to confidently tip it in.
At this moment, Hashem noticed a familiar hand appearing.
"Crack!"
Pinboard hat!
God's way is reincarnation!
Lian Dao also completed two blocks in just ten seconds.
These two blocked shots made the somewhat silent USC fans scream instantly.
This is very cool. If you give me one, I will give you two right away.
In an instant, the atmosphere in Southern California reached its peak.
After blocking the shot, Lian Dao used a quick second bounce to collect the ball.
UConn retreated quickly and USC had no fast break opportunity.
Daniel passed the ball to DeMar in the low post and mid-range.
DeMar tried a breakthrough layup, but found that Hashim inside was always a threat.
DeMar also knows the strength of Hashim, who blocks shots and gets a triple-double.
After trying a wave, Demar found that he didn't have a good chance, so he wanted to pass the ball to Lian Dao and let him reorganize.
But when I looked outside the three-point line, I couldn't find Lian Dao.
Looking back, Lian Dao chose to cut inside, while Jerome was blocked by Gibson on the outside.
Demar didn't know whether he trusted Lian Dao's talent too much or underestimated Hashim's abilities.
He just threw the ball into the air.
DeMar's passing was a bit rough, but the two of them knew the basics after working together for so long.
Lian Dao didn't expect him to pass the ball like a magician.
So Lian Dao has already taken the initiative to prepare to catch the ball.
Lian Dao jumped up, took advantage of his wingspan to grab the basketball that was passed high, and then smashed it directly towards the basket.
But at this moment, a figure caught up.
Hashim jumped up and tried to block Lian Dao's dunk!
The University of Connecticut spectators became excited when they saw this. They thought that Hashim would definitely return the previous block.
This way, the morale of the University of Connecticut can be reversed, and with a bang, they might be able to catch up with the score.
"Bang!"
Not a single shot in their imaginations appeared.
And it's just the opposite!
Lian Dao smashed the ball into the basket directly through Hashim!
And Hashim dunked hard and was knocked two meters away and fell hard to the floor.
After struggling twice, he didn't get up!
"All!"
2+1!
The entire stadium of 80,000 people fell silent instantly.
Everyone opened their mouths with disbelief on their faces!
Including Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy in the commentary box!
What happened when the two of them met just now?
Fortunately, the replay was quickly shown on the big screen at the scene.
Lian Dao saw Hashim step forward to block the shot, and then concentrated all his strength to meet him. The arm holding the ball in his right hand avoided Hashim's block.
And Hashem’s hand was on Lian Dao’s shoulder.
But Lian Dao resisted the pain, and his chest hit Hashim hard. At this time, Lian Dao was also shaken by the rebound force, but he still relied on the powerful explosive power of his waist and abdomen to stabilize his body.
Then he hit the ball hard into the basket.
And Hashim was hit by Lian Dao with such force that he flew two meters away and fell to the floor.
This ball is not only a crushing of talent, but also a game of IQ!
Hashim has been trying to get back on the field because of his previous blocks. As someone who can get 10 blocks in a single game, he is too confident in his blocks.
And Lian Dao took advantage of his desire to return the favor and took the initiative to dunk at Hashim, and even avoided his block in the air.
Let Hashim foul himself and then score 2+1!
To be honest, Lian Dao really hit the ball hard.
If you want to ask whether there are smaller players in the NCAA who dunk on centers, then there are. There are still many unexpected dunks, but they rarely use force to knock a big center who is over 2.21 meters away by 2 meters.
.
And Lian Dao had this kind of courage, using his small skills to make a big difference, he dunked the ball into the basket through Hashim in the face of body collision in the air!
No one expected that the 206cm Lian Dao would dunk a 221cm center forward.
Although Lian Dao had previously dunked Edwin Ubiles and gave him a concussion, but that was a player with a height of 201cm. It is understandable that Lian Dao has a physical advantage.
Hashim is not a short center, this kind of visual impact is given to all viewers.
brutal!!
The tyrant is coming!!
Lian Dao's dunk also broke the no-fly zone of the University of Connecticut!
When the replay ended, the fans saw clearly what just happened.
But why is Hashem still lying on the ground?
At this time, the University of Connecticut also reacted and hurriedly asked the team doctor to come and check.
The team doctor first checked to see if there were any major problems, because Lian Dao had a history of deducting people with moderate concussions before.
After examination, it was found that the ribs were not broken, and there was no black eye or vomiting. Fortunately, there was no major problem.
It's just that the powerful impact caused the body to collapse.
However, there was no way to return to the field in the first half.
UConn players helped Hashim back to the bench.
Coach Jim Calhoun finally breathed a sigh of relief after checking with the team doctor again and again!
But then Jim Calhoun got a headache.
Hashem has no way to play, which is the biggest bad news for the University of Connecticut!
