NBA: No. 1 Forward-Chapter 23: regular season begins
In the next two days, everyone also recovered their state.
At this time, the regular season of the Parker Ten League is about to begin. The first game is not against USC's sworn enemy University, but against the Oregon Ducks.
The USC game is an away game, and the game is held at the MacArthur Court Arena, the home of the University of Oregon.
Since the Oregon Ducks won the championship in 1938-1939, they have not reached the National Final Four so far, and the Oregon Ducks have rarely reached the national championship.
Therefore, their overall strength is not strong. If there is no accident this year, they will still be rejected by the NCAA tournament. Their 12 preseason games have achieved a record of 6 wins and 6 losses. This record is for one of the top leagues in the United States. A little underwhelming for "Parker Ten League".
On Friday, January 2, 2009, the game was held at MacArthur Court Arena.
Lian Dao and other team members entered the MacArthur Court Arena. In fact, Lian Dao came to the MacArthur Court Arena once in the morning, but it was because of training and familiarity with the venue, and there were no spectators in the auditorium at that time.
Looking at the stadium now, the audience in the stands is crowded with people. Although this is the home of the Oregon Ducks, you can still see some fans wearing USC red jerseys. Among them, Lian Dao saw some fans wearing their own jersey numbers , holding up the cheering slogan in his hand.
After entering the arena, Lian Dao still waved to the fans who supported him first. These fans are his parents, and some of them may have saved pocket money for several months to watch one of his games.
Lian Dao did not want to disappoint the fans who supported him.
During the warm-up, Lian Dao made several ultra-long three-pointers as usual, and DeRozan performed two 360-degree dunks through Lian Dao's pass, which made the atmosphere very lively.
The starting lineup sent by Southern California for this game is: point guard: Daniel Hackett; shooting guard: DeMar DeRozan; small forward: Lian Dao; power forward: Taj Gibson; Cevic.
At this time, Vucevic made his debut for the first time, which made him both nervous and excited, and he kept breathing heavily on the sidelines to relieve his inner tension.
Lian Dao saw Vucevic's tense expression, so he walked forward and patted him on the back.
"Relax man, I'll help you attract the defense, you just need to put the basketball I pass you in the hoop. Believe in yourself man!"
Hearing Lian Dao's comfort and concern, Vucevic relieved his inner tension a little, and then nodded heavily.
Seeing this, Lian Dao didn't say anything more. Everyone came here like this. If he wants to go further, this is a step he must take.
At this time, the Oregon Ducks also sent their starting lineup: point guard: Tajuan Porter 168cm, shooting guard: Garrett Sim 188cm, small forward: Lakendrick Longmire 196cm, power forward: Joe Wan Cutron 198cm, center: Michael Dunigan 206cm.
The overall height of the Oregon Ducks team is lower than that of the University of Southern California. Whether it is a striker or a guard, Vucevic is 2.13 meters tall, Gibson is 2.06 meters tall, and Lian Dao is 2.04 meters tall. Daniel Hackett on the guard line is 1.96 meters tall, and DeRozan is 1.98 meters tall. In fact, DeRozan's registered height is 2.01 meters.
This game truly interprets a sentence: Basketball is the sport of giants.
Players on both sides jumped the ball, and the opposing center Michael Dunigan didn't want to jump. But there is no way for him to be the player with the highest starting lineup at the University of Oregon, and he has to jump if he bites the bullet.
As soon as the referee threw the ball over the court, Vucevic slapped the ball at Daniel. And the highest point of Michael Dunigan's fingers, who jumped together, reached Vucevic's wrist.
This goal also made the fans understand: Talent is so **** important to basketball!
With the first goal in the opening game, Daniel passed the basketball to Lian Dao after he dribbled the ball for halftime. As long as Lian Dao was on the court, he was the core of the team’s offense. It is determined by the fluency of the organization's passing. When Tim identified Lian Dao as the core of the offense, all players also expressed their approval.
For the first time, Lian Dao made a three-pointer directly against Lai Kendrick Longmir. Lian Dao's super long wingspan made Lai Kendrick stunned, and the envy in his eyes almost overflowed.
On the other hand, the opponent originally wanted to take advantage of their small size, flexibility and speed, but since USC replaced Vucevic, their defensive speed has also been fully improved.
The opponent's point guard Tajuan Porter saw Lian Dao and his team retreating quickly and didn't give them a chance to play a fast break at all, so he began to slow down on the outside and organize dribbles.
But to be honest, Tajuan Porter's speed is very fast, and God is fair to him. His height of 1.68 meters gave him a speed as fast as lightning. I saw him stepping into the lightning fast One step, he passed Daniel's defense directly, rushed to the basket and layup.
Then he was slapped on the rebound by Vucevic, and then Vucevic directly used his height advantage to control the rebound. 𝐟r𝑒ℯ𝘄𝐞𝙗ｎov𝚎𝙡. 𝑐𝘰𝘮
This is the legend, the layup posture is very beautiful, and a big cap is given for nothing.
Vucevic passed the basketball to Lian Dao, who was playing fast, and the opponent's speed advantage was also reflected at this time, that is, the fast retreat speed.
After Lian Dao received the ball, the opponent immediately double-teamed. Oregon Ducks head coach Ernie Kent knew from previous game videos that Lian Dao's three-point shooting percentage reached a terrifying 52.3%, and he also had a pretty good shot. pass the ball.
But he would rather let Lian Dao choose to pass the ball than let him shoot three-pointers, but single defense has little impact on Lian Dao's three-pointers.
So this time, he made a gesture directly on the sidelines, meaning double-teaming. He would rather bet on the poor hand feeling of other USC players after Lian Dao passed the ball than let Lian Dao take a three-pointer.
Lian Dao saw that the opponent's coach sent double-team tactics, so he stopped shooting three-pointers. Instead, he made a three-point shooting posture to attract double-teams, and then passed the ball directly to DeRozan who was open and cut in. After receiving the ball, Zan took off and jumped directly across the defense. The opponent's power forward Jovan Catron dunked. After the dunk, DeRozan looked at the fallen Jovan and hung his hands on his chest after the dunk. . It seems to be demonstrating against Qiao Wan.
Qiao Wan didn't even think about whether the kid who buckled him ate a spring or something, how could he be so fierce.
Since the ball was blocked by Qiao Wan, DeRozan scored "2+1".
DeRozan made the free throw steadily.
Just one minute into the game, USC scored 6-0, which made the opponent's head coach Ernie Kent a little restless. Although he expected to lose, he didn't want to lose too badly. If the home game is marked as the largest point difference in history, then he will directly be nailed to the pillar of shame at the University of Oregon.
On the other hand, the irascible old man Tim looked like an old god, and he almost made him a cup of coffee and let him watch the game like a fan on the sidelines.
No way, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com also wants to be anxious, but the team's strength and talent don't allow it.
Next, the Oregon Ducks missed an outside shot and was directly grabbed by Gibson for a defensive rebound. At this time, USC was not in a hurry to play a fast break, and directly handed the ball to point guard Daniel.
Advance slowly.
Daniel saw that Lian Dao didn't ask for the ball, and there were too many defensive teammates around Lian Dao, so he didn't pass the ball, and directly attacked by himself, passed Tajuan Porter directly through DeRozan's pick-and-roll, and then went directly to the basket After throwing the basketball at the backboard, Lian Dao, wearing a USC No. 1 jersey, cut inside and jumped up, stretched his arms to control the basketball, and dunked directly.
Although Lian Dao's dunk was less elegant due to the lack of jumping height, but the power of pulling mountains and rivers also made this dunk full of violent aesthetics.
It was this dunk that silenced the fans, and then suddenly remembered the cheers and admiration.
The cheers made Lian Dao a little astonished!
You should know that this is an away game, not at the Galen Center Arena in USC.
Did this ball turn the fans of the Oregon Ducks into a mutiny!
Although Lian Dao's dunk only scored two points, the morale damage of the Oregon Ducks was too great.
The head coach of the opponent, Ernie Kent, really didn't dare to let the training go on like this, so he quickly added a timeout.
The players of the Oregon Ducks walked off the court full of disappointment. They really didn't expect that the fans at their home court would betray.
This is really a big blow to them!
Ernie Kent poured chicken soup on the lost players, trying to awaken the fighting spirit of the players, but the gap in overall strength cannot be made up by two or three bowls of chicken soup; on Tim's side, the players and the coach are very close to each other. Happy talking and laughing.
