NBA: No. 1 Forward

The next day, the results of the NCAA penalty for the last game came out.

Both Southern California's Vucevic and Siena Saints' Alex Franklin were flagrant second-degree fouls by the NCAA committee.

Vucevic was suspended for one game.

When the news reached USC, the players and coaches who were still discussing tactics fell silent for a moment.

The previous tactical arrangements were about to be overturned, and Vucevic was suspended, so it was necessary to propose a person from the bench to fill Vucevic's position.

Thiem scanned all the players on the bench, but none were suitable.

At this time, Tim looked at Lian Dao and made a decision.

"Sickle, you go to the 4th position, Dwight, you start the next game at the 3rd position. Ty, you go to the 5th position"

"Let's try this lineup first!"

Seeing the surprised expressions of all the players, Tim didn't make a decision immediately, but chose to train and try it out first.

The next game is on March 27, plus today, they still have 4 days before the next game.

The most important thing is that Tim doesn't know what Lian Dao thinks, although Lian Dao was in the fourth position in the second half before.

But this is the whole game after all.

Dwight has played the three before, and returning to the three is not a problem for him.

But moving Dwight into the starting lineup would sacrifice USC's depth.

In particular, this season's Michigan State Big Spartans have a bench bandit on their bench: Draymond Green.

From the performance of Draymond Green entering the NBA in the future, it is not difficult to see the style of the Michigan Spartans: fierce, tough!

If the University of Southern California wants to win this game, it must be more fierce and tougher than them!

Gibson nodded. He said that he has no problem with being the fifth position.

"I can!"

Lian Dao has no problem in the fourth position.

He's just worried about his inside offense.

Especially since he has not yet developed the inside footwork, he is not sure whether his offensive method can be used inside.

But then I thought about it, who said that playing the fourth position must score inside!

In fact, this tactic is also the previous "run and bomb" tactic.

It is very similar to the future "Five of Death" of the Warriors, but it is different!

The initiator of Death Five is Draymond Green. The initiator of USC is: Lian Dao.

All of these require inside players to have outside shooting ability.

At the same time, other players must have certain shooting ability on the outside.

In the University of Southern California, except for DeMar, other players with outside shooting ability are not bad.

After all, the NCAA's three-point line is closer than the NBA's!

But it is impossible to reach the level of the Warriors.

And the pressure of outside firepower output came to Lian Dao again, which is also the biggest difference from the Warriors.

After Lian Dao returned, he called up Rema Morgan's game video.

Rema Morgan is the starting power forward of Michigan State University. He is 203cm tall and weighs 104kg. This height and weight are about the same as Lian Dao.

Rema Morgan averaged 11.3 points per game; 6.2 rebounds per game; 1.8 assists per game and 3 fouls per game.

It is not difficult to see from the video that he has limited athletic ability, lacks speed and flexibility, and averages 3 fouls per game, which shows that Rema Morgan is prone to foul crises.

There is a single scoring method, most of which rely on dunks after catching the ball!

His advantage is that he has a good low-post defense, has a certain ability to block shots and has a good rebounding ability.

With the same weight and height, Lian Dao's strength and wingspan are better than Rema Morgan's.

Therefore, Lian Dao can still do it for restricting Rema Morgan inside.

On the offensive end, Lian Dao felt that he could knock him down.

Lian Dao's outside scoring ability is bound to bring Rema Morgan's defense down near the three-point line.

As long as he is pulled to the outside line, he is equivalent to a pig on the cutting board, ready to be slaughtered.

…

In the next few days, USC spent most of the time honing the lineup.

Lian Dao is the starting No. 4, and Lian Dao is facing Kathy Cunningham.

From a training point of view, the effect is still possible.

Casey Cunningham lacks strength, so he is at a disadvantage in confrontation, and he is at a disadvantage in terms of speed and flexibility against Lian Dao.

So every time he attacks Lian Dao, he can be pulled near the three-point line.

Once Casey Cunningham is pulled out, there's basically no going back.

Of course, whether Kathy Cunningham can achieve the effect of Rema Morgan is still a question mark.

All this needs to be played to know.

…

On March 23, the Rockets played away against the San Antonio Spurs. The Rockets beat the Spurs by 87:85 by two points.

So far, the Rockets have a record of 47 wins and 26 losses, ranking second in the West, second only to the Los Angeles Lakers with 56 wins and 14 losses.

To be honest, this record is beyond the expectation of all the media, and it also fully demonstrates Yao Ming's excellent leadership ability.

Everyone is happy when they win.

"Artest, why are you so focused on watching?"

Yao Ming came back from the interview and saw Artest staring at his phone again, so he asked curiously.

"I was looking at the bookmaker team I bought earlier."

"You still pay attention to football?" Yao Ming was a little puzzled. He hadn't heard that this guy likes football.

"Oh, no, it's an NCAA team!"

Suddenly, Yao Ming remembered that March Madness had already begun.

It's just that the game process is a bit tight during this period, and McGrady's knee injury recurred and he was reimbursed for the season. Everything was on him alone. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Although Yao Ming is usually humble, Yao Ming is still very annoyed by the media's general negative view of the Rockets.

He wants to prove that even without McGrady, he can bring the Rockets into the playoffs.

Therefore, during this period of time, he was so busy that he forgot everything that had nothing to do with the competition.

"Yao, there is a Chinese player playing in the NCAA this year!" Artest suddenly thought of a player with the same skin color as Yao Ming.

This reminder instantly reminded Yao Ming of Lian Dao.

He had heard of this fellow countryman before.

Originally, I wanted to find time to watch a game, but because all the burdens were on him alone.

causing him to forget.

"Did they make it to March Madness?"

"Of course, Yao, I bought USC." At this time, Brooks also came over.

This directly aroused Yao Ming's interest.

Yao Ming opened his locker, took out his mobile phone, and searched for content about Lian Dao.

Yao Ming watched the reports about Lian Dao and the video of the game, and the more he watched, the happier he became.

He very much hopes to see China can have outstanding outside players.

And Lian Dao gave him hope, excellent physical fitness, accurate outside shooting, and elusive passing.

"Artest, can I still buy it in the next game?"

"Of course, Yao, are you still watching? Hurry up and get dressed, we're leaving!" Artest reminded Yao Ming as he saw that Yao Ming was still paying attention to the messages on his phone.

"Oh, oh, okay!" Seeing that everyone has almost changed their clothes.

Yao Ming casually used his mobile phone to buy a $100 game from USC’s options.

Then I put my phone in my pocket, changed my clothes, and followed the team to the bus.
