Chapter 12: play
After the halftime break, the USC lineup is: Marcus Simmons, DeMar DeRozan, Lian Dao, Ty Gibson, Keith Wilkinson
Missouri Tigers lineup: JT Tiller, Kim English, DeMarre Carroll, Matt Lawrence, Leo Lyons.
Soon, the game restarted, and USC served in the backcourt after halftime.
After Marcus scored the ball, he dribbled just past half court.
At this time, Lian Dao stood at the logo in the middle circle and asked Marcus for the ball. Marcus passed the ball without hesitation.
Although the opponent's forward Carroll knew that Lian Dao had three-point skills, he didn't know the attack range of Lian Dao's three-point shot. He just stood up and defended near the three-point line.
Lian Dao saw that the opponent's defensive distance was two or three steps away, so he directly raised his bow and arrow, and shot a three-pointer directly at the logo.
Seeing this scene, Smith in the commentary kept shaking his head and said: "Oh, this is not a good choice. USC's No. 1 shot is really bad. Did they give up the game? This is the best choice. Poor shooting method!" He was still shaking his head after speaking, and suddenly looked at the court with a stunned expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, the basketball happened to make a perfect straight line through the air and dive into the hoop.
Watching Lian Dao raise his right hand high and stretch out three fingers to celebrate his first three-pointer in the field.
Smith was so embarrassed that he was able to pick out three rooms and one living room with his toes. He didn't expect the face to be hit so suddenly, so he changed his words and said: "Oh, what a wonderful boy, but I think his ball is just luck, It's just that God has favored him today." After finishing speaking, he spread his hands like his old partner.
At this time, the fans of the Trojans team in the USC Arena burst into screams and shouts.
"It's a good job, just shoot like this, kill them." The fans in the auditorium waved towels and shouted at the top of their voices.
"Oh, don't you think the posture of shooting three-pointers is very handsome?" At this time, a female fan of USC.
I have to say that since Lian Dao joined the team, the number of female fans in USC has skyrocketed. Every time they see Lian Dao score a goal and pass, they scream with excitement. It made his teammates look at Lian Dao with a depressed expression on their faces.
It doesn't matter what you look like.
This ultra-long three-pointer in the second half directly improved the performance of the entire team. Everyone shouted and actively defended, as if the small universe of the body was burning.
After the Missouri Tigers point guard took the ball across half court, he saw Carroll asking him for the ball. JT saw his boss asking for the ball, so he didn't hesitate to pass the ball directly.
Carol was dribbling the ball on the outside, talking trash to Lian Dao: "Boy, you're just a jerk, you're a lucky jerk, let's see how I hit you with a big bamboo pole."
Lian Dao just smiled when he heard it, and then took a step forward, blocking his passing route.
As if to say again: Come, let me see how you knock me down.
"Boy, you will die ugly."
Carol bent down, dribbled the ball slowly, and spat trash talk at Lian Dao. In his eyes, the Asian kid in front of him defending him is no different from a thin bamboo pole. It is impossible for him to block him. As long as he bumps lightly, the opponent will fall to the ground.
At the moment when Carol was about to step forward and hit him, Lian Dao directly leaned forward.
Lian Dao greeted him directly.
In fact, there is a big gap between the two people's stature. Although Lian Dao has been gaining weight every summer vacation, but with his current height of 203cm, his weight of 90KG still seems too thin, while Carol's 201cm has a weight of 105kg. The weight difference between the two people is 15kg.
So when many people saw Lian Dao going up to him, they felt a little bit like hitting a rock with an egg.
But in the middle of the auditorium, a man wearing glasses and holding a notebook lit up his eyes. He admired Lian Dao's defensive attitude very much. In his opinion, it doesn't matter whether he can defend himself, but whether he dares to step forward to defend Most importantly, if a player doesn't even have the courage to fight, then no matter how good his physical fitness is, he won't go too far.
Weaknesses in body can be made up for through training, but weaknesses in character are difficult to change.
Carol obviously didn't expect that the thin bamboo pole in his eyes would come forward to meet him, which made him feel a bit like a provocation to himself.
Immediately, he turned sideways, his right shoulder sank down, and then with all his strength, he directly bumped into it... bang.
At this moment, the sound of the body bumping, Carol felt a pain in his shoulder, but then he found that Lian Dao's footsteps were not moving at all.
At this time, he realized that he had underestimated this kid. Although he was thin, his lower body strength was not weak.
But because of the rebound from the previous impact, the dribble was missed.
Seeing the opportunity, Lian Dao stretched out his long arm and slapped the basketball in his left hand hard, then took a step forward in an instant, and controlled the basketball he shot with his right hand.
Then pass a long pass directly to DeRozan who is about to come down.
DeRozan knows Lian Dao's strength and defense, and he hasn't benefited from him throughout the summer vacation. So he knew that Lian Daokeng would be able to put the ball down, so he waited for a quick counterattack.
Sure enough, when he saw the ball was broken by Lian Dao, he ran towards the frontcourt.
When the ball arrived, DeRozan didn't need to adjust at all after receiving the ball. He took three steps directly and then jumped high and dunked the basketball in his hand towards the basket with one hand.
Grabbing the basket hard to reduce the impact of the dunk, after jumping off, with his hands hanging on his chest, he pointed at Lian Dao with his fingers and roared.
It seemed that all the grievances accumulated in the first half were vented.
The fans who had just stopped before exploded in an instant, screaming and whistling, feeling as if they wanted to lift the dome above their heads.
Carol had a surprised expression on his face. He really couldn't imagine how this skinny kid like a bamboo pole could have such great strength.
"Facts have proved that you are the softie, ah, you are not even as good as a softie, you can't protect the ball at all." Lian Dao is not a good person, he didn't talk trash before because he sprayed after stealing Trash talk is safer, less likely to be slapped in the face, and more enjoyable.
Carol looked angry, but he didn't say anything more, who let himself be robbed just now.
In competitive sports, losers have no right to speak.
"Omika, Smith, have you seen that this kid's confrontation is not as written in his report, he is very tough, and his body is also very strong, he is just obviously thin on the outside, in fact he His strength is not bad." Hasko was a little excited when he saw Lian Dao's backhand steal, and hurriedly said to his partner.
"Uh, yes, but it's possible that Carroll wasn't ready. One ball doesn't mean that this kid has excellent physical fitness. Harsco, we can't make a conclusion with one ball, but what we have to say is that this kid's arm It's really long." Smith still didn't want to admit Lian Dao's physical strength talent, so he argued, but he was surprised by Lian Dao's arm span. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
"OK, let's wait and see!" Harsco saw that he couldn't convince his partner, so he turned the topic back to the court.
At this moment, Lian Dao once again took a good position on the three-point line. Carroll was a little overwhelmed. Just after halftime, it seemed like his own point guard wanted the ball. JT hesitated this time, not knowing whether to give it or not.
"JT, what are you doing, give me the **** basketball." Carol was a little impatient.
JT saw that his boss was a little anxious, and he didn't dare to hesitate, and passed the ball directly.
Carroll stopped talking trash this time, and kept dribbling the ball on the outside, only to take a step to the right with his right foot, making a fake breakthrough to the right.
But Lian Dao was not moved by it, because he saw that Carol's center of gravity did not shift to the right at all.
Sure enough, Carroll took the ball back again, and this time he took a step to the left, with his shoulders and center of gravity facing away. This time, Lian Dao knew that he was going to break to the left, so he slid to block his breakthrough route.
Carol saw that the two breakthroughs were fruitless, and knew that Lian Dao's defense was really weak. Seeing that the breakthrough from the front was fruitless, he turned around and attacked with his back, preparing to dig in a little bit.
But when Carol hit back, he found that he couldn't chisel at all. On the contrary, the force reacted by Lian Dao made his steps chaotic.
Since he couldn't get in, and he was not as strong as the opponent, and seeing that time was running out, he pulled up and shot directly.
Just as he made the shot, a pair of big hands covered the basketball.
It was Lian Dao, who had long been guarding against Carol's shot, put his hands in front of his chest, and waited for Carol to give him a spicy pot when he shot.
Marcus Simmons controlled the ball that slapped Lian Dao upfield, but the Missouri Tigers retreated quickly.
