NBA: No. 1 Forward

Chapter 62: The overall situation has been decided

Barkley continued.

What he appreciates about Lian Dao is that he can give full play to his own advantages and not be swayed by his opponents.

When encountering double-teaming, Lian Dao has always created opportunities for his teammates in his own way, passing the ball, defending, and making three-pointers!

In college games, the top is the most likely to appear. In many games, players will be double-teamed and layup.

Of course, most fans like to watch this kind of difficult goal, and the opposing coach also likes to watch it.

Because the reason why it is called high difficulty is because his chance of scoring is small and consumes a lot of energy.

For 40 minutes a game, you can't be so accurate all the time.

And once the shooting rate drops, this kind of behavior will lead the team to the abyss!

This means winning the data and losing the game!

At halftime, the camera pans to the Louisville Cardinals bench.

The difference of 15 points is not small for the NCAA.

You must know that the NCAA is divided into two halves, each with 20 minutes, and each attack has 35 seconds.

If the Louisville Cardinals can't catch the score within 10 points in the first ten minutes of the second half, then the Louisville Cardinals are likely to fail in this game!

Rick Pitino was also constantly rubbing his temples with his hands at this time.

Headache, uncomfortable!

The last game against the Kansas Jayhawks was a difficult win. I thought this game would be easier against USC.

Unexpectedly, they fell behind by 15 points in the first half.

A small forward with a height of 206 centimeters, his agility and speed are not inferior to defenders, but the key is defense, three-pointers and passing.

He shouldn't be in the NCAA, he should be in the NBA.

Rick Pitino really wants to yell at the USC bench now: This is a foul!

Back from the halftime break, USC still had the previous lineup. They didn't use the "run and gun" lineup in the second half like they did in the previous game.

Mainly, USC has established a 15-point advantage, and the Louisville Cardinals will definitely come up with a stronger defense in the second half.

The Louisville Cardinals took the lead in the second half.

The Louisville Cardinals no longer continue to attack the inside, they still choose to attack on the outside.

After all, under the 2-3 zone defense, it is too difficult to play inside.

The two excellent defenses of Lian Dao before also showed that it is too difficult for the 2-3 zone defense to attack the inside.

Jerry Smith took a shot from outside the 45° three-point line against DeMar's supplementary defense.

Jerry Smith is not JR Smith after all, nor does he have a nerve knife.

Jerry Smith's three-pointer was blocked by DeMar.

Three-point strike.

Vucevic protected the defensive rebound.

But at the first moment, Earl Clark jumped up and interfered with Vucevic's pass.

Then the rest of the Louisville Cardinals quickly dropped back on defense.

With Lian Dao's support, Vucevic passed the basketball.

But by this time the Louisville Cardinals were in defensive formation.

The Louisville Cardinals' defense also explains why USC didn't play small-ball lineups.

The Louisville Cardinals didn't give their opponents any fast break opportunities at all.

"Rick Pitino really deserves to be a champion coach. He doesn't give the opponent a chance to counterattack at all. This excellent defense shows Rick Pitino's tactical quality and the tactical execution of the Louisville Cardinals. !” Barkley was very touched when he saw the Louisville Cardinals retreating in a smooth manner.

"Kenny, as long as Rick Pitino is coaching the Louisville Cardinals, I believe the Louisville Cardinals will win the NCAA championship sooner or later in the future!"

Although Barkley has a big mouth, the sentence he added below was hit by him.

In the 2011-2012 season, Rick Pitino led the Louisville Cardinals to the national semifinals, although they lost to the Kentucky Wildcats; but in the second year of the 2012-2013 season, they maintained the original lineup , and finally defeated the Michigan Wolverines in the NCAA Finals and won the NCAA championship that year!

The University of Southern California had already predicted this kind of defense of the Louisville Cardinals, so it also played a positional battle with the opponent.

Rick Pitino continued to double-team Ryan Rice on the perimeter with Jerry Smith and Terrence Williams.

What Rick Pitino means is that even if DeMar is let go, Lian Dao cannot make a three-pointer from the outside.

DeMar, who came back in the second half, was no longer depressed.

After receiving a pass from Lian Dao, he dribbled the ball to avoid Jerry Smith's return defense, and then directly hit a mid-range jumper!

Although DeMar's three-pointer is not good, the mid-range shooting feels really terrible.

DeMar's layups and mid-range shots are now trying to be confronted. This way of scoring can get more free throws and is more lethal.

The risk of injury is also greater, and it is impossible to play without excellent physical fitness.

Bryant hit the free throw line every 4.9 minutes on the court during his career, while DeMarr hit the free throw line every 3.9 minutes in his all-time peak season.

In this regard, he will do better than his idol in the future!

Of course, DeMar is far from reaching that level now, but like now he has been training himself to draw fouls under confrontation and score under confrontation.

DeMar's first mid-range shot also gave USC a shot in the arm, although one ball was not enough to declare the Louisville Cardinals' tactical failure.

Then DeMar kept hitting mid-range shots~www.mtlnovel.com~ and one of them scored 2+1, which directly made Rick Pitino call a timeout.

Rick Pitino is really weak now, and he doesn't know how to limit the two hot players on the opposite side.

But he had to call a timeout. If he didn't call a timeout, the score would only get bigger and bigger.

He can only hope that this suspension will make USC's hand feel less!

However, wishing and man-made, the feeling of USC, who came back from the suspension, still remains undiminished.

Moreover, USC, which came back from a suspension, also activated Gibson.

But there is no way, Rick Pitino can't do anything now!

So the second half became DeMar's CIC show and Gibson's cake feast!

"Kenny, who do you think is the draft template for sickle?"

Barkley's commentary is here, he can basically be sure that the overall situation of this game is basically set!

The Louisville Cardinals have no chance of a comeback, so I brought up a topic that everyone is interested in!

"Magic Johnson?" Kenny asked tentatively.

Buckley shook his head and looked at Kenny Smith with disdain.

"Don't put a magician's template on his head for passing the ball."

"Lian Dao's physical fitness is superior to that of a magician. Don't let some commentators in Los Angeles fool your eyes."

Kenny also nodded. He had read some newspapers before and analyzed that the draft template for Lian Dao was Johnson.

So this time I said it without thinking carefully.

"I think Tracy McGrady should be!" Kenny thought for a while, and said the Hugh City Lance!

This time Barkley pondered for a while, and did not refute Kenny's words.
