Chapter 32: rising draft pick
As USC continued to increase its defense against Collison and Holiday, Collison's mistakes continued to appear.
No way, Holiday and Collison are their outside cores, and Collison is still the point guard, the brain of the team.
As long as these two people are controlled, it is basically equivalent to controlling the brain of the university.
And once the team's brain is controlled, his turnovers will continue to rise.
Lian Dao and Dwight continued to assist in defense, which made him suffer a lot.
The NCAA's basketball three-point line is shorter than that of the NBA, which will be more conducive to Lian Dao and Dwight's defense.
After they double-team Collison, they can quickly move to their defenders.
Moreover, Gibson is also a defensive gate on the inside. When Lian Dao goes out to double-team Collison or Holiday, he can help defend the inside.
On the offensive end, Lian Dao is also constantly attracting double-teams, which makes DeRozan and Gibson continue to eat cakes.
"This game can be declared over."
"Whether it is on the defensive end or on the offensive end, it is not an opponent of USC."
Van Gundy shook his head and opened the death certificate.
"USC's run-and-gun tactics are too lethal. Sickle fully utilized his advantages under this system."
"This tactic completely conceals Sickle's lack of low-post skills, and multiplies his physical strength talent and passing and shooting talent."
Mike Brin also agreed with his partner's opinion, and also analyzed the USC tactical system.
Head coach Ben Howland also knew that there was no way to recover, so he called a timeout.
All the main players except Holiday were replaced.
Tim saw Howland was so witty, so he also replaced Lian Dao and the others, but only came on the bench.
What is really exciting about this game is the fans of USC. They did not expect that their school's basketball would also have a great day.
"Aren't you a famous basketball school? Why do you feel so weak?"
Hadland turned his head to look at it when he heard it.
This is a cute-looking white girl who accompanied her best friend to watch the game.
There was a girl next to her before. The two of them came together at the time, but they are not here now. They should have gone to the bathroom.
Harland is very invisible to this cute girl's best friend. If he had to use two words to describe it, it would be: **** and charming!
Haaland remembers the white girl sitting next to her with dyed red hair, blue eyes and wearing a red USC No. 1 jersey.
The wide jersey looked amazing on the red-haired white girl!
It can be seen that the white girl is not only a fan of the University of Southern California, but also a female fan of Lian Dao, but I don't know if it is a fan of beauty or strength.
And it happened that this girl's words were heard by Harland who was sorting out the manuscript materials.
Hadland shook his head and explained to the girl: "It's not that we're weak, it's that USC is too strong. They have Sickle, and he's a player who can perform miracles."
"Their tactical system is more complete, so it makes you feel weaker."
"As a famous basketball school, they have won two consecutive victories in the regular season just like USC. From the preseason to the present game, they have also achieved a record of 12 wins and 3 losses."
"Are you a USC fan?"
This sweet-looking white girl looked at Hadland's dancing and expressing, so she asked curiously.
"Of course, I'm a USC fan, and I'm even a fan of Sickle. Don't you think his shooting is very accurate, and he has a pass that is elusive, which is like magic. It's wonderful."
"Hmm...!" Listening to Hadland's promotion of her idol, the white girl held her chin and looked at Lian Dao who was sitting on the bench.
As if thinking about Hadland's words.
"I think he is quite handsome, with the beauty of an oriental man."
Hadland rubbed his brows helplessly.
Heh, women are indeed visual animals.
Seeing that this cute-looking girl is like this, it is estimated that her best friend is similar to her, and also belongs to the beauty party.
Harland also admitted that Lian Dao is indeed handsome.
It can be seen from the last "Sports Illustrated" sales.
Most of the buyers of "Sports Illustrated" were sports enthusiasts, and they were mostly boys. This kind of customer group has almost been fixed for them.
But the last "Sports Illustrated" sale broke their sales record.
And the key to breaking the record is those girls who didn't like the sports section before.
The previous article directly put "Sports Illustrated" out of the circle, so it can be seen that being handsome can really be eaten!
No wonder those handsome players in the NBA are so popular with some brand endorsements.
With the timer beeping once, the game is declared over.
At this time, the University of Southern California wins big!
The score was fixed at 76:88!
Under the leadership of Holiday, the score was chased from 28 points to within 15 points in the last ten minutes.
At the same time, Lian Dao scored 28 points, 14 assists, 8 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
Only 2 rebounds away from getting a triple-double.
In the last quarter, Tim wanted Lian Dao to play to get 10 rebounds.
But Lian Dao rejected Tim's proposal.
It's just that there are many opportunities to get a triple-double in the future, so I won't waste time on data.
Holiday on the field felt that someone was calling him, but he didn't find it after looking back.
Tim patted Lian Dao on the shoulder, a smile formed on the corner of his mouth.
Now he appreciates this disciple who was left behind because he couldn't recruit players at that time.
He has excellent physical talent and skills, and works very hard. What is even more rare is his maturity, stability and overall view.
Tim believes that as long as Lian Dao has no injuries, he will definitely be the best player among the NCAA players in this session, and he must also be the one who has gone further.
"Let us congratulate USC, for winning this game!"
"Let us thank the players on both sides for giving us a wonderful game!"
"Sickle scored 28 points and 14 assists in this game. He also scored the highest points and had the highest assists in the game!"
"I believe that after this game, his draft prediction ranking will improve!"
"Top 20 in the draft, even the lottery is not out of the question, and he showed everyone his scoring and playmaking talent in this game."
"If he has speed or he can develop a stable mid-range shot, and he only needs to practice one of the two, then he will definitely break into the top ten in the draft!"
The 2009 draft is definitely a big draft year, but everyone expects that 2009 will be a small draft year.
Because there are many central defenders in this year's class, it is estimated that none of them thought that the 2009 generation would perform brilliantly later.
The players in the 2009 class are underrated players!
It can be said that the 2009 draft is not inferior to the 2003 draft.
Especially Harden and Curry, both of whom have won scoring titles in later generations, and both have won the regular season MVP.
The cute elementary school student Curry has redefined the status of the three-pointer in later generations!
Griffin and DeRozan are also All-Stars in later generations.
Among other players, Rubio, Juho Ledi, Jeff Teague, Gibson, and Beverly are still active in the league even in 2022. Unfortunately, players such as Jennings, Ty Lawson, and Evans have also been brief brilliance.
Judging from Lian Dao's current potential and speed of progress, he has clearly surpassed most of them.
