NBA: No. 1 Forward

The timeout always seems to pass very fast. When Lian Dao watched the game in his last life, he always felt that the timeout was too long, which was not enjoyable to watch.

But after playing as the main player for a long time, I found that the timeout time passed really fast!

It was Darren Collison who launched the attack. Daniel Hackett couldn't defend Collison at all, and was directly passed by Collison with a disguised acceleration.

Then Collison rushed inside, pulled the bar directly to avoid Gibson's block, and then hit the board to score.

I have to say that Collison's physical fitness is really good. When avoiding Gibsonson's block, his body almost folded into a skinny shrimp, but he can still throw a basketball into the basket with his strong physical fitness.

After coming back, he strengthened his defense against Lian Dao. It was much more difficult to connect the ball than before, but fortunately, Lian Dao has a height advantage.

Daniel Hackett transferred basketball to Lian Dao.

As soon as Lian Dao received the ball, Josh Shipp immediately went forward to stick to Lian Dao. Lian Dao used his back to lean against Josh Shipp, then used his butt to hit a little space, then turned around with the dribble and retreated back step.

But at this time Holiday had already double-teamed.

The basketball in Lian Dao's hands didn't stop at all, and directly passed the ball to DeMar who was open.

After receiving the ball, DeMar directly made a jumper and hit a mid-range shot.

"DeMar DeRozan! His movement is so critical!"

"The cooperation between the two of them is too tacit, and Demar runs resolutely. He firmly believes that Sickle will definitely pass the basketball!"

The commentator Mike Brin was also fanned by the twin stars at this time.

Van Gundy also added at this time: "DeMar is indeed an indispensable part of the perimeter offense! In the previous few games, every time Sickle encountered double-teaming, DeMar could stand up and help Sickle clear the siege .”

"There is DeMar on the outside, Gibson on the inside, and Lian Dao is like a combination of a commander and a killer. He not only sorts out the team's offense and defense, but also can use three-pointers to cause damage to the opponent."

"The most important thing is that the defense of these three players is very good. Sickle and DeMar support USC's perimeter defense, and the interior has a defensive champion like Gibson."

"Other players only need to cooperate with this complete system, then this year's USC will definitely go a long way!"

The difference from high school is that Lian Dao has great strength, combined with his height and wingspan, he can basically dominate the NCAA players on the defensive end!

And Demar's defense has also grown very rapidly in the usual confrontation with Lian Dao; of course, Lian Dao's offense has also been continuously improved in the confrontation!

Collison made a breakthrough to attract DeMar and then gave the ball to Holiday. Holiday was about to shoot, and DeMar rushed over.

"Snapped!"

DeRozan slapped the ball to the center line, but Collison, who was twice as fast, controlled the ball.

Lian Dao clearly saw that DeRozan jumped after Holiday, but the excellent jumping height and speed directly made up for the time gap.

This volleyball-style hat instantly ignited the atmosphere of the fans in the audience.

After Collison got the ball, he was not in a hurry to attack. There were still about 15 seconds left in the 35-second attack time, which was still plenty of time.

Collison is still experienced, and after stabilizing, he still broke through and scored.

This time it was given to Josh Shipp, but when he was shooting, Lian Dao touched him with his finger.

Through body blocking, Gibson controlled the basketball.

Gibson passed the ball straight to Daniel Hackett.

USC directly played a defensive counterattack, and at this time Lian Dao had already run near the center line.

Hackett passed directly to Lian Dao.

At this time, Lian Dao rushed forward after receiving the pass from the center line.

Lian Dao's height was very impressive.

Josh Shipp is also close behind.

Lian Dao slammed on the brakes and then made a beautiful turn, bypassing Josh Shipp and heading straight to the inside.

After rushing inside.

Except for Josh Shipp, only Holiday came back to defend.

Lian Dao's layup directly attracted the defensive attention of the two men, and then passed the ball directly behind his head to DeMar.

DeMar took off directly after receiving the ball.

Holiday reacted at this time and wanted to interfere.

The two were directly pressed by DeMar and dunked the ball into the basket.

At the same time, because of Holiday's interference, Demar scored a 2+1!

On the free throw line, DeMar directly made the free throw.

At this point the score becomes

11:26.

USC extended its lead to 15 points.

If this trend is followed, then this difference is definitely not the end.

Coach Ben Howland then hurriedly called another timeout.

Only 4 minutes have passed since the last timeout.

There are only two timeout opportunities in a first half, and after this timeout is over, there will be no more timeout opportunities.

Unless USC proposes a suspension.

In fact, he didn't want to use the second timeout so early, but there was no way, if the timeout was not called, the game might be declared over in the first half!

And because of DeMar's dunk, the momentum of USC has reached its peak.

This suspension is also to slow down the momentum of USC.

In fact, Howland made a lot of tactics against USC before the game.

On the defensive end, Lian Dao was constantly defended from outside the three-point line and even double-teamed, and Demar was mainly defended against mid-range shots and breakthroughs.

At the same time, on the offensive end, use the advantage of the outside line to make sudden points or shoot shots, and try to avoid falling into positional battles as much as possible, thereby weakening the weakness on the inside line.

Howland's arrangement is actually very reasonable, and it is also a tactic that can maximize his strength.

From a tactical perspective, Ben Howland is still very good.

But he still underestimated Lian Dao. Although Lian Dao didn't have a middle distance, he passed the ball accurately, and Josh Shipp couldn't defend Lian Dao with a single defense.

And once the defense is assisted, Lian Dao will pass the ball. The most important thing is that the shooting percentage of all USC players is quite good today.

After the timeout, Lian Dao did not play. The head coach Tim replaced Lian Dao with Dwight Lewis, and Gibson was replaced at the same time.

Ben Howland and Josh Shipp were relieved to see Lian Dao and Gibson replaced.

Ben Howland breathed a sigh of relief because of the end of the two main players, the score was able to catch up in the first half.

And Josh Shipp really didn't want to match up with Lian Dao. This height, wingspan and three-pointer against him were bugs.

No solution!

But the reality did not develop as head coach Ben Howland hoped.

Lian Dao's end did drop USC's outside organization ability to a level, but it completely released DeMar in terms of scoring.

Now DeMar basically has unlimited shooting rights.

Breakthroughs, mid-range shots, and dunks.

He followed his powerful scoring ability to the audience.

And here Collison also continued to assist his teammates to score.

Due to DeMar's lax defense, Holiday also showed excellent scoring ability, breaking through the mid-range, three-pointers and so on.

It was impossible to catch up with the score for a while.

At this time, Howland directly sent out double-team tactics.

It wasn't until this time that Demar really misfired. Demar, who was caught in a double-team, couldn't play the ball for a while, and even made two mistakes.

One was intercepted by Holiday, and a double-teamed fadeaway was blocked by Josh Shipp.

The two turnovers did give some momentum, but time didn't give them much time.

Tim yelled at DeMar from the sidelines to steady him.

Knowing that it was his own mistake before, DeMar also slowed down his offense and no longer obsessed with singles.

The slowing USC can better play the role of Vucevic.

Just like that, at the end of the first half, USC firmly controlled the 11-point lead.

"I didn't expect USC to be so strong this season. Today is going to be a disastrous defeat!" Odom didn't know when he focused on the game.

Kobe also gave Odom an angry look.

Odom was baffled by Kobe's stare, and he didn't know how he provoked his boss.

"It's not enough. The score is around 11 points. If we can find a way to break USC, then the second half will be the beginning of the real game."

Kobe was angry when he saw Odom's blank face, but he still expressed his opinion.

"Then what if there is no way to crack it?"

Odom didn't know that the string in his brain was wrong, so he asked such a question.

I regretted it as soon as I said it, but it was too late.

Sure enough, he saw Kobe's "Death Eye" again! So he was so scared that he dared to shrink his neck, and turned his eyes to the cheerleaders on the field.
