In the opening 5 minutes, Lian Dao held the ball from the outside, and Danny Green immediately stepped forward to defend, and Lian Dao dribbled the ball one after another to make a breakthrough posture. Not only did this guy not retreat, but he kept stepping forward to defend closely.
Lian Dao wiped it away with a simple acceleration and change of direction, and went straight to the hinterland of the University of North Carolina.
Accelerate, pass, join the ball, take off!
Lian Dao's speed is very fast, Tyler Hansbrough was still in the paint with Vucevic to grab rebounds.
He really didn't expect that Lian Dao would go straight to the inside line.
At this time, he was also powerless and could only stretch out his upper hand for the final struggle.
But Lian Dao can even buckle the 221cm Thabeet, not to mention the 206cm Taylor Hansbrough.
After the jump, Lian Dao slammed the basketball into the basket with a one-handed dunk after gliding.
And the entire basket was shaken by Lian Dao's strong dunk!
The fans of the University of Southern California immediately stood up from their seats, waved the flags in their hands frantically, and shouted loudly for Lian Dao's goal!
"The Tyrant Comes!" "The Tyrant Comes!"
Lian Dao's dunk is always full of power.
After Lian Dao hit the chest with his right hand, he pointed his index finger at all the fans above the auditorium.
This is also the first time that Lian Dao has shown his arrogant and unruly side to the audience!
It also indicates that he will have no reservations in this game!
"Oh, although I missed watching Sickle's dunk against Thabeet live, but from this dunk I can see that his strength can definitely stand firm even among NBA centers."
Barkley also commented on Lian Dao's dunk.
Kenny Smith nodded in agreement this time.
"Indeed, and Charles, I found that his dribbling is more flexible, reducing a lot of redundant movements, and his breakthrough is smoother and more efficient!"
Kenny still pays close attention to the improvement of agility, and the biggest feeling for Lian Dao is that his dribbling is more flexible and smooth.
Moreover, he is now constantly abandoning some fancy moves, trying to make his breakthroughs simple and efficient.
And in the commentary seat of CCTV.
Zhang Lili couldn't help but marvel when he saw Lian Dao's dunk: "This physical fitness is really good. Look at the palm, it almost covers half of the basketball. That's it. If you give more **** to Lian Dao, he can also play the key." It’s reasonable to drive teammates at the right time!”
Ten minutes have passed.
The score of the two sides: 22:21.
The scores between Southern California and North Carolina were tight, and Southern California scored 14 points in 10 minutes thanks to the combination of Lian Dao's surprise shots.
But after Lian Dao missed a shot, Southern California has not had a stable second scoring point.
After the opening, the University of Southern California mainly relied on Lian Dao to launch the offense, and the University of North Carolina relied on Tyler Hansbrough to bite the score tightly after the opening.
I have to say that Taylor Hansbrough is really at home in the NCAA.
He gave full play to his all-round advantage, and hints of offensive methods emerged in endlessly.
Mid-range jumper, hook, rebound, even this guy can make three-pointers.
Vucevic is indeed not as flexible as this guy in terms of flexibility.
And as a senior, this guy is very smart in playing. He knows that compared with Vucevic, his height is a disadvantage, so he uses flexibility to bully Vucevic on the offensive end. Vucevic receives the ball.
Watching Tyler Hansbrough's inside line at USC topple the river, Tim really couldn't bear it, and took advantage of the official timeout.
He replaced Vucevic, let Dwight play to the third position, and Lian Dao came to the fifth position.
The biggest impact of Lian Dao's arrival at the fifth position is that the strength of Southern California's perimeter defense has decreased.
Danny Green also calmed down, and because Lian Dao missed two consecutive three-pointers before, he also mainly defended Lian Dao's breakthrough.
Roy Williams also believed in Danny Green, and made Danny Green a single defense against Lian Dao.
Lian Dao caught a good opportunity, of course, no longer obsessed with breakthroughs, and began to call Gibson frequently to play pick-and-rolls, and shot whenever he had a chance. As long as North Carolina switched defenses or double-teamed, he would have a chance to assist his teammates.
Although Danny Green also worked hard to interfere with Lian Dao's shooting, but he was not tall enough to reach Lian Dao's shooting at all.
The University of North Carolina is still very passive on the defensive end. Danny Green has no way to deal with Lian Dao's unreasonable three-pointer.
Danny Green then discovered that although he couldn't interfere with Lian Dao's shooting, he could interfere with Lian Dao's shooting sight.
So this guy actually learned from Battier's experience in defending Kobe and used blindfold defense against Lian Dao.
For the first time, Lian Dao was really taken aback by this guy and missed a three-pointer.
Danny Green found that this method worked, so he wanted to implement it again.
But Lian Dao made preparations next time, aiming at the basket before shooting, according to his own shooting inertia and muscle memory.
Soon, Lian Dao broke Danny Green's blindfold defense.
The University of North Carolina began to lose ground gradually. Facing Lian Dao's defense, Hansbrough's flexibility finally lost its effect. The key is that his wingspan is not as long as Lian Dao's. So far, his two shots have been missed by Lian Dao. He was fanned out, and facing Lian Dao's oppressive defense, his shooting stability also dropped significantly.
In fact, this is also the reason why Hansbrough will not play in the NBA in the future. You must know that this kind of defensive intensity is very common in the NBA.
If you can't score in high-intensity confrontation, even if you enter the NBA, you will soon disappear.
So this is the only college player in the history of the NCAA who has been selected to the best team in the United States and the best team in the division for four consecutive years. Many media still express their unfavorable reasons for him.
In the NBA, you either have extraordinary physical talent, or you have extraordinary shooting or technical talent, both of which can gain a foothold in the NBA.
If you don't have both, you can only be reduced to a role player at best.
There are still 4 minutes before the end of the first half~www.mtlnovel.com~ Southern California kept opening up the score during this time.
35:27.
8 points difference, this difference is actually already on the verge of danger.
Roy Williams couldn't bear it anymore and called a timeout. He needed to adjust his tactics.
"Next, the University of North Carolina will definitely strengthen the outside attack. Dwight, Daniel, DeMar, you have to be careful about the outside shots on the opposite side. Come on, let go! In the last game, don't leave regrets for your career !"
Tim first reminded the opposite party of the next plan, and then cooked a bowl of steaming chicken soup.
This is also to give players with poor psychological quality a shot in the arm.
After returning from the timeout, the University of North Carolina sure enough launched an attack from the outside.
First, Ty Lawson scored a three-pointer from the outside through a teammate's screen, and then Wayne Ellington also made a three-pointer.
At this moment, the 8-point difference was chased to only two points.
At this time, USC was a little flustered. This is due to the lack of experience in the competition, and the more it goes to the end, the more likely it is to have psychological problems.
"Don't panic! Give me the ball!" Lian Dao asked Daniel for the ball from beyond the three-point line.
The opponent can't keep chasing points like this, Lian Dao must score this goal.
But because Daniel's passing intention was discovered by Danny Green, he passed the ball directly to steal before Lian Dao.
Then it was passed to Ty Lawson who was running all the way.
Lian Dao suddenly turned pale with fright, and hurriedly stepped up his horsepower to chase Ty Lawson.
But the speed is not as good as the opponent, and he can only watch the opponent score a layup.
35:35.
University of North Carolina, tie the score!
