NBA: No. 1 Forward

Lian Dao got the basketball from Vucevic.

He has only Danny Green by his side.

North Carolina head coach Roy Williams emphasizes oppressive one-man defense. Tyler Hansbrough, the core insider, has excellent physical fitness, defensive skills and defensive awareness. It is enough to be ready to prevent breakthroughs and air cuts near the frame at any time, which can ensure that North Carolina has a good frame protection efficiency.

At the same time, North Carolina is still one of the teams with the least fouls. Hansbrough is willing to desperately block his teammates to grab rebounds. North Carolina's defensive rebound rate is also in the forefront of the league.

As the emperor Danny Green, who was later famous for his defense and three-pointers, his defense at this time has begun to show signs of improvement.

He also asked the head coach to defend Lian Dao alone.

Solo defense, Lian Dao naturally did not touch him.

For the first goal in the game, Lian Dao prepared to attack by himself, mainly because his teammates had no chance.

Roy Williams puts great emphasis on off-ball follow-up from outside, and North Carolina players are not allowed to risk stealing and missing people.

Therefore, under the leadership of Roy Williams, North Carolina's defensive turnover rate is also the lowest in the NCAA, and they basically rarely miss people.

They rarely give their opponents open three-pointers, and the teams that have played against North Carolina have very low three-pointers.

This is why Roy Williams laughed when he saw Southern California's original lineup. Don't think about how many assists they have when playing against them. They can only solve the problem with various strong shots with the ball in the middle distance.

However, if you want to hit the mid-range, you must first break through the North Carolina steel defense formed by Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington, and Danny Green.

On the first ball, Lian Dao directly assumed a three-threat posture. For Lian Dao, the three-threat posture is the best.

Danny Green didn't get too close, he knew that Lian Dao had the ability to break through.

So he always maintains an optimal defensive distance.

This distance is enough for ordinary players, but Lian Dao...

With a fake shot, Danny Green really moved forward, then dribbled the ball and turned around to pass Danny Green.

But Danny Green reacted quickly and immediately returned to defense.

Lian Dao then pulled the ball back in a disguised form, and took a step back to shoot.

Get rid of Danny Green.

"brush!"

3:0.

Although the goal was scored, it also put pressure on Lian Dao.

Danny Green is like a piece of brown sugar, it is really not easy to get rid of him.

Lian Dao's opening three-pointer also cheered up the USC fans.

"Oh, Sickle is familiar with the opening three-pointer, which seems to be a ritual for USC." Barkley said in the commentary booth at this time.

In this game, TNT sent Barkley and Kenny Smith as commentators for the finals.

This dead fat man can be regarded as fulfilling his wish. Although he missed the commentary of the University of Southern California in the semifinals, fortunately TNT decided to let him and Kenny partner to commentate the finals!

"Charles, don't be so excited, the iron walls of the University of North Carolina are not so easy to deal with!" Ken, your favorite thing to do is to pour cold water on Buckley.

Just when they were arguing endlessly in the commentary booth.

The USC side has already set up a defensive formation.

3-2 zone defense, although it is a 3-2 zone defense, Southern California did not stick to the zone defense this time, nor did it stick to one-on-one follow-up defense like the University of North Carolina.

Instead, zone defense and man-to-man only see mutual changes.

USC's defensive focus is on the outside. Although North Carolina has Tyler Hansbrough inside, their main scoring method is to rely on outside shots.

Therefore, Tim believes that as long as they pinch the three-point line, it is equivalent to defending more than half.

But today's North Carolina offense has taken USC by surprise.

North Carolina head coach Roy Williams started today by focusing on the inside.

They want to use Tyler Hansbrough's deterrence inside to force USC to shrink the defense to create space for outside players.

Although Vucevic has made rapid progress, he can perform high pick-and-rolls and rebounds, but he really can't guard against Tyler Hansbrough, who is flexible and has a variety of offenses.

After three minutes of the game, Hansbrough successively launched attacks from the mid-range, using mid-range shots and face-up attacks to score 6 consecutive points on Vucevic. He has indeed fulfilled the team's tactical requirements. The inside line opened up the situation.

Tim also understood the opponent's intentions, but North Carolina did form an advantage in the interior, so it had to make adjustments, so Southern California began to shrink the defense to a certain extent.

Also help defend Tyler Hansbrough.

But USC didn't call a timeout.

9:6.

USC still holds the lead.

Although Vucevic couldn't defend Taylor Hansbrough inside, North Carolina couldn't defend Lian Dao outside, and Lian Dao also responded with three three-pointers: Single defense won't work .

There are only two timeouts in the first half, whoever uses it first will suffer.

Although the University of North Carolina is three points behind, Roy Williams, the champion coach, is also quite the axis.

Still let Danny Green single-handedly defend Lian Dao.

And Lian Dao's 3 three-pointers in the opening game also raised his NCAA single-season three-pointer record to 181.

"I will make the 182nd three-pointer in front of you!" Lian Dao looked at Danny Green who was following him like a brown sugar, and said with a smile while dribbling.

This sentence made Danny Green very angry. The failure to defend the previous three three-pointers was enough to make him angry.

Unexpectedly, this guy is still talking trash like Larry Bird I read the information before, but I didn't find that this guy can also talk trash.

It's not that Lian Dao can't talk trash, he never thought of talking trash before.

However, what Larry Bird said today made him think that trash talking can be a very lethal weapon if used well.

Although Danny Green wanted to fight back immediately, he had nothing to say about being shot three three-pointers in a row.

Lian Dao accelerated the dribble from beyond the three-point line, and then caught Baifo, which directly shook Danny Green, who was already frightened, and broke through.

In the same way as the first shot, Lian Dao made a false breakthrough this time, then pulled back and shot a three-pointer from the outside.

12:6

"Look, I told you that you're going to shoot a three-pointer, and you can't even defend. Your best defense is not fake, right?" Lian Dao whispered close to Danny Green when he returned to defense.

I have to say that trash talking is really useful. Although Danny Green didn't say anything, Lian Dao found that this guy's movements were getting bigger and bigger through the defensive confrontation.

To irritate the opponent, of course, is to make him lose his sanity, because the defensive strength exceeds the allowable range, it becomes reckless, and it will be counterproductive.

Moreover, Lian Dao has been shooting three-pointers from the outside to give Danny Green a sense of "I will continue to shoot three-pointers from the outside". Shooting awareness, priority defense of his three-pointers.

At this time, Lian Dao will have the opportunity to break through the defense, thereby disrupting the defensive formation of the University of North Carolina and creating opportunities for teammates.

Although it is very cool to attack opponents from the outside, this method is too easy to be restricted. He needs to use breakthroughs to disrupt the opponent's defense and activate his teammates as much as possible.
