NBA: No. 1 Forward-Chapter 19: Create the best start in USC history
The previous two coaches didn't pay attention to Lian Dao's skills and physical talent at all. In their view, people of yellow race were not naturally suitable for playing basketball. Basketball is a sport for blacks and whites.
Even the scripts written by Lian Dao, who was a screenwriter in his previous life, were not favored in Hollywood. They thought that people from the Celestial Dynasty could not write scripts well. At that time, Lian Dao was excluded everywhere, and some directors shook their heads and said: NO even before reading Lian Dao's script. This sense of superiority deeply hurt Lian Dao's heart. In the end, he proved to the world that Chinese people can write scripts that affect the world.
With Lian Dao's family situation, he doesn't actually need basketball to get financial resources. With his high school grades, he can choose an Ivy League school, choose the business management that his parents want him to study, and then return to China to inherit the family property.
But he didn't. He didn't choose Stanford University, which is also in California with a stronger academic atmosphere, but chose Southern California University, which has a relatively stronger basketball strength. This is because he wants to break the stereotypes of Americans. He wants everyone to know that basketball is not a sport exclusively for blacks and whites, and that people of yellow race can also become top basketball players in the world.
…
Although Tim replaced Wilkinson on the court, because he had received 4 fouls before, he was also timid in defense, and the players at the University of Oklahoma also saw this. Break through to the inside, constantly looking for physical confrontation on Wilkinson.
Wilkinson didn't dare to let go of his movements too much, which made Wilkinson, who was not bad defensively, the biggest defensive colander on the field.
The University of Oklahoma players continued to attack the inside line, facing Wilkinson for layups, dunks, jump shots and so on.
Finally, around the opening 10 minutes of the second half, a drive-through dunk from Blake Griffin drew a blocking foul on Wilkinson.
And scored 2+1, the total score was tied at 66:66, Griffin made an extra free throw, and the University of Oklahoma led by one point at 67:66.
Wilkinson also received his fifth foul, which made him return to the court in frustration. Lian Dao patted him on the shoulder comfortingly.
"What you've done is good enough buddy, don't do this, leave it to us."
Wilkinson squeezed out a smile, nodded slowly, held Lian Dao's hand, and the two bumped into each other's shoulders. 𝐟𝓇eℯ𝒘𝙚𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷𝗲Ɩ. co𝓶
"Come on, believe in you, kill them, we're going to make the best start in the history of USC." Wilkinson was in a better mood and encouraged Lian Dao.
At this time, Tim saw that Lian Dao had recovered some strength, so he changed Lian Dao to the fourth position on the field, and misplaced to defend the opponent's fifth position, Blake Griffin. Lewis played small forward at the 3 position and Gibson played center.
This lineup configuration, although there is no advantage in height, but the flexibility has been enhanced, and the defense of this lineup has not declined. Lian Dao and Gibson are now both inside, and the inside defense has reached unprecedented strength. The opponent's main force has been on the field for 30 minutes and is already exhausted.
Lian Dao and the others might be able to play a wave of defensive counterattacks.
As for USC, Lewis, as Lian Dao's substitute, didn't play in the first half. He has only played for about 10 minutes now. His physical condition is still very good. Coupled with his height of 196cm, Lian Dao was not mentioned as the leader. He had been USC's starting small forward before his release.
Coupled with the fact that Tony Crocker is not very good at position 3 on the opposite side, Lewis still has an advantage against Tony.
In addition, Lian Dao also rested for more than 20 minutes, and his physical strength has recovered a lot. At this time, he can also be used as a new force when playing.
The fact is indeed the case. After Lian Dao came on the field, the advantage of his physical strength after the break soon became apparent. Before that, Tony and Willie Warren double-teamed to defend Lian Dao's breakthrough, but now Lian Dao used his physical strength directly. The advantaged student rushed to the basket. Although Blake Griffin was also very tired at this time, he still gritted his teeth to fill his position and rushed towards Lian Dao.
Lian Dao made a flexible 180-degree turn and circled around Blake's body, preparing to score a dunk. At this time, after Blake Griffin landed, he turned around and took off directly. This physical fitness really deserves to be the white monster of the league in the future. The second bounce was very fast. When he came up, he greeted the injured basketball from behind, but He found that although he was jumping very fast and high, but because he was separated by a body, he found that his short hands couldn't reach the basketball in Lian Dao's hands, and then...
"Snapped"
"Boom"
"beep"
Griffin's short hand only reached Lian Dao's wrist, and then he slapped his wrist. The basketball in Lian Dao's hand was not stable because of his slap. He was dunking with one hand, but immediately stretched out his left hand to stabilize the basketball in his hand, and changed the dunk to score with both hands.
Lian Dao also used all his strength to smash the ball towards the basket. The entire basketball hoop was shaken by Lian Dao's huge force.
The audience on the court fell silent for a moment. They couldn't figure out why the thin bamboo pole of the opposite team had such great strength. This is not in line with common sense. Not even their University of Oklahoma beast can stop them.
"shh"
But immediately followed by boos all over the sky. Although they were stunned by the ball for a while, it was impossible to cheer for the opponent's players. After all, not every fan has the kindness of Madison Square Garden fans in New York.
Lian Dao slammed the basketball in his hands vigorously despite the boos, and after adjusting his state, he made a shot and the ball scored.
Lian Dao was happy for his smooth ball-holding breakthrough just now, and he couldn't help but smile on his face after the free throw.
That's what it feels like!
In this ball, he seems to have grasped an opportunity to combine flexibility, speed, strength, and skills, which makes him a little excited. Although these talents have reached the current upper limit, he has not really played. As for the strength he should have, he only showed the strength of a single talent before, but the individual talents are separate, strength is power, speed is speed, just like an open palm, although it hurts to hit someone, but he didn't clenched it tightly The fist is more powerful, UU reading www.uukanshu. com and the cooperation between talents and skills is a clenched fist.
In fact, this is also a sequela of his rapid improvement in individual talents, because not everyone has both system and internal boxing. Even for those basketball superstars, it takes two or even several seasons to reach a certain height, and it is impossible for them to achieve rapid growth in strength in two or three months. Slowly growing strength is easier to consolidate the foundation through games.
It is impossible for Lian Dao to be like those talented superstars. They can grow slowly because their talent ceiling is high, and NBA teams are willing to bet on those talented players.
But Lian Dao is different. He used to be a little transparent in high school. Only a small number of fans in California know him. Some NBA scouts and media have never heard Lian Dao's name, so Lian Dao has to use the shortest name in college. More time to let your talent value reach the upper limit, because in this way you can get more attention.
In order to get a better ranking in ESPN's NCAA rankings, this is related to Lian Dao's NBA draft.
But what Lian Dao didn't know was that it was precisely because of his smile just now that he was captured by the director's camera and played on the huge screen above the court. This irritated all the male fans, because they felt that this smile was a mockery of their own booing just now. Why are there only male fans? It's because the female fans are drunk by Lian Dao's smile. Their wolf-like eyes can't wait to rush to the field and take Lian Dao directly to the small black room, and then...
Lian Dao's smile and the reaction of the female fans next to him made the male fans of the home team boo even louder.
Lian Dao also booed and was startled, but looked up at the screen and shook his head. There was nothing he could do. He was so handsome that he would attract hatred wherever he went.
