At this time, the old students made a mistake in their offense, and Lian Dao predicted in time that Marcus Simmons would pass the ball to Dwight Lewis.
This time, Laosheng learned the lesson from last time and returned to defense very quickly.
Lian Dao considered that it was impossible to counterattack on a fast break, so he passed the ball to Donte Smith.
Lian Dao immediately started running, and through the pick-and-roll of his teammates, he finally found a three-pointer.
Donte also saw Lian Dao's vacancy and passed the ball directly this time.
Lian Dao was about to take a three-pointer with his hand, but because the pass was a little slow, Gibson jumped up to interfere. After seeing Gibson jump, he faked a shot, then dribbled and moved sideways quickly.
Take a three-point shot.
Continuous scoring brought the morale of the freshmen team to a peak, and then it continued to defend against the attacks of the old students.
Looking back, as Lian Dao attracted the defense from outside the three-point line, DeRozan continued to attack the Laosheng team's basket through pick-and-rolls in the next two rounds.
20:22
The freshman team achieved a lead for the second time.
"You old guys got your butts kicked by a rookie. Are you a garbage dump on the road?"
He stood up and yelled at the players on the field.
NCAA coaches rarely have a coach, and even if they do, it won't be Tim. Although he is not the most grumpy among them, he definitely can't be called a coach.
Coach Tim's words were like a slap in the face of the senior team.
This immediately improved the offense and defense of the Laosheng team.
Taj Gibson directly caught the ball and dunked into the basket through Vucevic.
Vucevic has the ability to score in the low post, but because he is too thin and has insufficient confrontation ability, if he wants to go further, he needs to improve his strength and confrontation.
In turn, Lian Dao made a precise pass and assisted DeRozan to score a mid-range shot. DeRozan is a traditional defender and is very accurate in mid-range shots. Many of his mid-range shots are directed at defenders, even if they are against him.
His shooting rate could still be maintained at 42%, which is a bit impressive. But his three-point shooting was so bad that the defender directly blocked his breakthrough and mid-range shot and let three-pointers go.
The trend in the NBA in the future is indeed to score from the outside, and even the center must have a good three-pointer. Therefore, DeRozan is destined to have a very difficult road in the future.
The freshmen have Lian Dao's passing and three-pointers, as well as DeRozan's mid-range shots and breakthroughs; the seniors have Gibson's defense and the experience of the seniors.
This made it impossible for either side to open up the score.
Tim looked at the confrontation between the two camps with a satisfied expression.
45:43
In the last attack of the freshmen team, this time Lian Dao dribbled the ball. He did not pass it to Donte, but dribbled the ball one meter outside the three-point line to press the time. Lewis had suffered a loss in stealing before and did not step forward to steal. He just kept
A distance that can be blocked.
Lian Dao bowed to Buddha, but Lewis was not fooled. He just stretched out his hand to press the defense; but then he dribbled the ball under his hip and stepped back. When the opportunity appeared, he raised the knife and dropped it, making a super long three-pointer close to the center circle.
"brush"
three point hit
"A few blind throws... are beautiful!"
What Tim originally said, he changed his mind when he saw the three-pointer and clapped his hands excitedly.
45:46
The moment the ball was scored, the freshman team immediately became excited.
I saw Vucevic hugging Lian Dao excitedly, and Washington also stepped forward to stroke Lian Dao's head, but Lian Dao instinctively moved away, as if a spur's bald head flashed in front of his eyes.
Washington didn't think much about it, just thinking that Lian Dao was not used to others touching his head, so he put his arms around his shoulders and celebrated excitedly.
The freshman team is not as experienced as the senior team, but they represent hope. They are just like the senior students who just entered college, they are easily satisfied and will be excited after achieving results.
Tim left time for the freshmen to get excited. In fact, the one who surprised him the most today was Lian Dao. He did not expect that Lian Dao's three-point shot would be so fast and his attack distance would be so far; the key is that he still has a hand.
Excellent organization and passing. After feeling that it was about the same, he signaled to Jim.
"drop"
It was assistant coach Jim Saiya who blew the whistle for the assembly. In addition to head coach Tim Floyd, the basketball team also has an assistant coach and a physical coach, physical coach Bob Cantu, a handsome white guy.
.
"Lewis, is there shit in your head? Just rush forward and you can't see your teammates; Simmons, where are your passes? O'Neal's grandma can pass the ball better than you; DeMar, you think you are Kobe
Is it? They are almost fucking surrounding you, and you still come up...Vucevic, I'm sorry your name is a bit long, is it made of paper? It floats with a gentle push." Tim came up and started driving.
No one except Captain Gibson, he was the best of them all, and he was in his fourth year playing for the Trojans. "Also, sickle, your defense is too soft.
You can't ask your teammates to wipe your butt during the game."
After finishing speaking, Tim brought assistant coach Jim and physical coach Bob aside. The three of them should discuss and formulate a training plan. There are still more than two months before the game. If this time is fully utilized, the team's tacit understanding can be improved to a higher level.
.
The players rested for a while, and Tim took out the training plan that he had prepared and handed it to all the players. The Trojans' coaching staff knew the strengths and weaknesses of the old players well, and there was no need to focus on which aspects of training they should focus on.
After careful inspection, the only ones who changed the training content just now were those of Lian Dao, DeRozan and Vucevic.
From high school leagues to the NBA, they have their own set of mature standards for selecting basketball players. They begin to be exposed to systematic training in junior high school, then high school, and then college.
The coaching staff and professional equipment of some prestigious schools in the NCAA are no less than those of the NBA. They also have better training plans and can train players in the most advanced methods, such as North Carolina, Duke, Georgetown University, UCLA, and Kansas.
Universities and other prestigious schools.
This is why Lian Dao wanted to join UCLA at that time, but they didn't take a fancy to him at all.
As a first-level team like the University of Southern California, there are many benefits for players. The first is a full scholarship, which is a unified standard; then there is player insurance; and there are nutritional supplements.
Don't think that these universities are contributing to the cause of basketball. If you think so, you are too naive.
There are salaries like the NBA, but their schools earn a lot of income from selling jerseys, sharing tickets, etc.
A team that can reach the "March Madness", which is the top 64 competition, will bring at least more than 20 million US dollars in revenue to the school a year.
The revenue that the top 32 teams bring to the school is more than 40 million U.S. dollars, and the revenue that the top four teams and above bring to the school is at least 100 million yuan.
The revenue of USC, which was in the first round of the NCAA tournament last year, reached more than 40 million US dollars.
The key is that they do not pay players as high salaries as the NBA, so it is understandable that in order to recruit talented high school students, the benefits provided by these universities are only a drop in the income.
…
In terms of training, most of the plans designated by the coaching staff are still basic skills, but the amount of training is different according to each person's differences and physique.
What Lian Dao should focus on at this stage is strength and speed. Strength is the basis of speed, take-off, confrontation, defense, explosive power, and dribbling. Without strength, it is difficult to shoot breakthroughs in fierce confrontations, and it is also difficult to defend opponents.
, it will also affect the speed of the first step when breaking through. Speed is also Lian Dao's current shortcoming. Lian Dao can control the ball now, but his speed cannot keep up, resulting in low efficiency for each breakthrough. The most important thing for a small forward is to attack difficulties.
Ability, but without the ball to attack, the small forward's ability to attack tough situations will be greatly reduced.
But now Lian Dao has decided to focus on strength first. The goal he set for himself based on the team's current situation is to become a 3D player with the ability to pass and control the ball.
In addition to these two things, Tim will strengthen his jumping and mid-range shots depending on the situation, both of which are abilities that he should have at this position.
Of course, Lian Dao's training plan will not be limited to the training plan designated by the team. There are still two unused training effect bonus cards in his system warehouse. After using them, he can obtain several times the effect at the same time.
Especially strength training. He also has training stamina recovery potions, which saves time for stamina recovery after training.
But he must be careful when using it. He doesn't want to be regarded as a monster and sent to the laboratory to be dissected as a guinea pig.
