When Lian Dao returned to defense, he didn't know that he had gained a black fan.
He is now ready to step up and help AJ Price.
AJ Price didn't pass the ball this time. He kept dribbling the ball outside looking for opportunities, and finally a fake move opened up a little opportunity, and immediately accelerated to break through DeMar.
But Lian Dao hastily moved his steps to make up defense.
AJ Price flicked the basketball to the right after seeing Lian Dao.
Damn, it turned out that Jerome ran to the corner for a three-pointer, caught the ball, adjusted, and shot.
43:39.
I have to say that AJ Price does have two brushes.
But then Lian Dao immediately returned a three-pointer.
46:39.
It's not rude to come and go, and Lian Dao has never lost in responding to the ball.
UConn followed up with the same tactic, but this time it was Kemba Walker.
He broke through Daniel before Liantao double-teamed, and then passed the ball to Jerome after attracting the double-team.
Jerome is still in the same posture after receiving the ball: receiving the ball, adjusting, shooting...
Wait, when does a hand show up.
Lian Dao flew forward and grabbed the ball out of the air.
It turned out that when defending Kemba Walker, Lian Dao was always paying attention to Jerome.
Therefore, Lian Dao is just a symbolic supplementary defense against Kemba Walker.
Lian Dao is betting that Kemba Walker will pass the ball as soon as he sees Lian Dao's defense.
The first is that Jerome feels hot, and giving the ball to someone with a good feel is the team's first choice.
The second is that Kemba Walker did not dare to let Lian Dao get too close. He is far less confident in his passing than later generations, so he will pass the ball before he gets close.
If the bet is right, Lian Dao will complete the block, if the bet is wrong, Kemba Walker will complete the breakthrough, layup or assist Connecticut to score inside.
However, Lian Dao made the right bet.
From the moment he saw Jerome asking for the ball, Lian Dao knew he had made the right bet.
"boom!"
The audience erupted, and they once again witnessed Lian Dao's famous scene: grabbing a hat!
The USC bench has a new towel dance!
"Oh, what happened, didn't he go to defend Kemba Walker, why was he in front of Jerome?" Today's Lian Dao brought too much incredible to Jeff Van Gundy.
"It turns out that he defended Kemba Walker as a fake move, just to let Kemba Walker pass the ball. Oh, he is too cunning!"
"Connecticut stepped into Sickle's trap step by step, he is like an old hunter, he is too cunning!"
After watching the replay, Mike Brin couldn't help being amazed. He said "he's too cunning" twice in a row.
"Mike, UConn is stepping into the USC trap! UConn is in danger."
And while they were still talking about Lian Dao's "hunting" before, Lian Dao had already hit another three-pointer from the outside.
49:39.
At this time, USC established the biggest score advantage of the game by 10 points!
There are still 3 minutes and 23 seconds before the end of the first half.
At this time, the University of Connecticut called the last timeout of the first half.
At this time, the atmosphere of the University of Southern California reached its peak, and all the players in Southern California were full of fighting spirit.
Now Ford Field is almost becoming the home of the University of Southern California!
Jim Calhoun had to call a timeout at this time, and under the blessing of this atmosphere, the morale of all members of the University of Connecticut was low.
If the timeout is not called, the score gap in the first half may become wider and wider, which will be very unfavorable for the University of Connecticut in the second half.
Although the University of Connecticut, who came back from the timeout, recovered a lot in terms of morale after being given a burst of chicken soup by the head coach.
But the impact is still there. AJ Price's first pass to Jeff Adrian after returning from a timeout was intercepted by Gibson.
The advantage is that their defense was timely, and Southern California did not make a fast break.
Lian Dao still used the pick-and-roll this time, but this time he broke directly to the basket.
This made all the UConn a little unexpected. From the beginning, Lian Dao rarely broke through with the ball in positional battles.
So the University of Connecticut quickly double-teamed Lian Dao.
When Lian Dao walked to the basket, the players double-teamed by the University of Connecticut found that Lian Dao had no ball on him.
"Swipe!"
That's the sound of a basketball passing through the hoop and across the net.
It was Gibson, the basketball was in Gibson's hands, and he made this three-pointer at 45° from the three-point line.
It turned out that this was the pick-and-roll breakthrough pass tactic that Tim arranged for Lian Dao and Gibson during the timeout.
It was the UConn tactic before.
The biggest impression of Gibson is that he is a tough guy on the inside, and he doesn't give much impression on the outside.
But this does not mean that Gibson has no outside shots. Gibson's outside three-pointers are indeed unstable, but he still has a three-point hot spot when he is open.
That is around 45° outside the three-point line.
And Lian Dao's previous cover three-pointer has been noticed by the opponent, and if he wants to use it again, he will definitely be taken care of by the opponent.
So Lian Dao wanted to use a breakthrough to give Gibson a three-pointer from the outside, so as to catch the opponent by surprise.
Sure enough, this trick really worked. After attracting double-teams, Lian Dao threw the ball from behind to Gibson who was open outside.
And Gibson didn't pay attention the whole time, wide open, shooting hot spot, shot, hit!
52:39.
This goal also directly made UConn head coach Jim Calhoun shake his head again and again.
He knew that this game would not be won, even if Hashim played in the second half, it would not help.
It's unrealistic to expect a Hashim to save UConn with the opposing forward pinning him to the floor.
If the score can be tight in the first half, then the second half of this game will still have to be played.
but…
Sure enough, what happened next was just as Jim Calhoun thought.
The morale that the University of Connecticut finally recovered was broken by the University of Southern California.
At this time, the morale of the University of Southern California reached its peak.
All the members are extremely confident. Even if DeMar didn't have a three-pointer, he made a three-pointer from the outside.
At the end of the first half, the score was 64:41.
And Hashim, who had just played in the second half, was rewarded with two caps by Lian Dao.
This directly broke Hashem.
However, due to the frustration of the University of Connecticut's outside line in the first half, the outside shooting has not felt in the second half.
The beginning is to continue to strike the iron!
And their blacksmithing also helped Lian Dao complete a great record!
And USC's next game also showed everyone what a real no-fly zone is.
As long as they dare to take off in the restricted area, Lian Dao will treat them to spicy hot pot!
Jim Calhoun didn't want Hashim's confidence to be compromised in this game. About 8 minutes into the second half, he replaced all the main players and announced his surrender!
The University of Southern California also replaced all the main members~www.mtlnovel.com~ and put on a substitute lineup!
Just before Lian Dao left the field, Lian Dao finally completed his 10th block!
Lian Dao's data was directly displayed on the big screen: 36 points, 20 assists, 10 blocks, and 10 rebounds.
"Four pairs!"
The audience boiled directly, they did not expect someone to complete a quadruple-double performance in the championship.
This is the first time in history that someone has completed a quadruple double in the NCAA tournament!
"sickle created a new NCAA history, a new record, he completed a quadruple-double in the history of the NCAA tournament!" Jeff Van Gundy stood up directly from the commentary booth.
He is really honored to witness this moment in history.
Until some audience chanted MVP, it spread like a virus.
Everyone in the audience shouted together!
MVP! MVP! MVP!
Both USC fans and UConn fans were chanting MVP!
At this time, Lei Allen in the auditorium also shook his head and smiled wryly, and he also applauded Lian Dao.
But he also knew that his alma mater had been nailed to the background board ever since!
"Although Lester Hudson completed a quadruple-double in the NCAA regular season last season, the gold content between him and Sickle is different! Because today USC is facing the top four seeded teams in the United States This kind of difficulty is not comparable to Lester Hudson who has not even scored in the championship!"
Mike Brin couldn't restrain his excitement at this time, so what he said was a bit arbitrary.
If Lester Hudson was on the scene, he would definitely be vomited by Mike Breen!
