NBA: No. 1 Forward

"I can't even catch the ball, let's go home and eat milk!" Danny Green's mentality, which was fixed by Lian Dao for more than ten minutes, was finally released!

Lian Dao just smiled and was not angry. It seemed that Roy Williams had adjusted his defensive strategy. ,

In previous games, North Carolina seldom had such a risky steal.

If Lian Dao had been a little more cautious just now, Danny Green's steal would not have been completed, and he would have lost his defensive position because he took the risk to steal.

Although Tim saw that the score was tied, he still did not call a timeout. He believed that Lian Dao would adjust back in time.

Lian Dao was not affected by Danny Green's trash talk,

He still calls on Gibson to play a strong-side pick-and-roll, intending to hand over the basketball to DeRozan on the weak side after attracting enough defenses.

However, UNC has steadfastly executed their one-man defense, and the rest of USC has never had a good chance to catch the ball.

So, he could only shoot by himself, but this hasty shot missed.

Lian Dao was also laughed at by Roy Williams. This old man is really stubborn. He would rather let Lian Dao shoot from the outside than let Lian Dao have the chance to assist his teammates.

Roy Williams bet that Lian Dao's three-pointers would not be so accurate forever.

In fact, Roy Williams has also studied the tactics of Southern California in depth. He found that as long as other universities double-team Lian Dao, the game will enter the rhythm of Southern California.

Because as long as double-teaming Lian Dao is bound to release one of the two USC players, either DeMar or Gibson.

These two people, no matter who they are, have strong offensive capabilities. DeMar has a breakthrough with the ball and a stable mid-range shot, while Gibson also has mid-range shots and the ability to score at the basket.

Roy Williams found that since double-teaming Lian Dao, USC's offense could not be stopped, so why not choose single defense?

And if you choose to defend alone, then DeMar's threat will become smaller, and the threat of other players not being able to receive the pass will also become smaller!

In fact, this strategy has also appeared in the NBA. It is the "Jordan Rule". The Jordan Rule has two profound meanings. The first is to defend the opponent's core players, and the second is to let go of the core players and follow other players infinitely.

And Roy Williams is the second layer of profound meanings executed!

This is Roy Williams' defensive strategy against shooter small forwards. To be honest, if it's just a shooter small forward, then Roy Williams' defensive strategy is not a problem at all.

But Lian Dao is no ordinary shooter small forward.

In the next round, Lian Dao was no longer obsessed with connecting teammates, but played singles.

Tim also laughed next, he saw Roy Williams' tactics, but he was not worried at all, because Roy Williams' tactics completely released Lian Dao.

** Three-pointers, breakthrough dunks, and even Lian Dao made two mid-range shots. In these rounds, Lian Dao showed everyone his strong scoring ability.

During this time, the University of Southern California once again overtook the score!

At the same time, Lian Dao also caused two fouls by Danny Green.

Next, Southern California also adjusted their tactics. The other players defended with all their strength. Since there are no open opportunities, they should increase their defense.

Now Tim is also putting the banner of offense on Lian Dao.

Tim is also betting, and he is betting on Lian Dao's scoring ability.

Tim is very fortunate to have kept Lian Dao last summer, otherwise it would be impossible for the University of Southern California to enter the finals this year.

The first half of the game was basically a back-and-forth offense. Although USC maintained the lead, the lead never exceeded five points.

The score of the University of North Carolina is very average, except that the score is mainly concentrated on the center Tyler Hansbrough in the opening game, and most of the other times are scattered among the outside players.

It is also necessary to say that the tactical execution ability of the University of North Carolina is really strong, and their experience in competitions is also very rich.

The main players have basically scored in the national semi-finals before this. They have rich experience and can always seize the defensive loopholes in Southern California to score.

Apart from Lian Dao who scored the highest score in Southern California, DeMar was the second.

Wayne Ellington couldn't prevent DeMar's emergency stop jumper, and DeMar also shared some pressure for Lian Dao at the critical moment.

And the worst thing is Gibson. Since Vucevic went down, all the inside pressure on the offensive end of Southern California was given to Gibson.

Gibson got the focus of attention from opposing center Tyler Hansbrough.

With 3 minutes left in the first half, Lian Dao made another outside shot to trick Danny Green into a foul.

Although he didn't make a three-pointer, Lian Dao was very excited.

He was really tired of this brown candy.

The first half is not over yet, Danny Green, who has received 3 fouls, was finally replaced by Roy Williams.

Looking at the players on the bench, Roy Williams also had a difficult time.

Danny Green is the strongest perimeter defensive player at the University of North Carolina. He didn't completely lock and defend Lian Dao. Other players can't make the opponent sieve?

At this time, Roy Williams looked at Ed Davis, yes, who said that outside players must be used.

Ed Davis, as the No. 1 North Carolina team in blocked shots, is perfect for dealing with Lian Dao on the opposite side.

With a height of 208cm, he can limit Lian Dao's shots to the greatest extent on the outside, but his speed is at a disadvantage Roy Williams immediately made a decision to replace Ed Davis on the field, and at the same time, the University of North Carolina performed Inside offense.

The inside offense was executed because of Danny Green's end, which led to the loss of the University of North Carolina's outside advantage, because Ed Davis has no outside shooting and offensive ability with the ball!

But the guy rebounds and blocks shots really well.

After Ed Davis replaced him, Lian Dao no longer shot from the outside.

Instead, they constantly hit the basket and continuously caused damage to the players under the basket.

In these three minutes, Lian Dao went to the free throw line 3 times.

In these three minutes, he dunked and caused Ed Davis to 2+1 twice!

The remaining one was Tyler Hansbrough's hitter on a layup by Lian Dao!

And Tyler Hansbrough has already been fouled twice.

Roy Williams is also a headache for Ed Davis. The biggest shortcoming of this guy is his lack of discipline and reckless defense.

Usually as a substitute, although he is reckless, he can destroy the opponent's offense after fouling, but when he faces Lian Dao, his shortcomings of insufficient confrontation are directly exposed.

He is taller than Lian Dao, but weighs two kilograms lighter than Lian Dao, dare you believe it.

Therefore, his block is a joke for Lian Dao's dunk.

The end of the first half, USC 47:40.

USC ended the first half with a 7-point advantage!

After Ed Davis left the field, he was also slammed by Roy Williams for a while. He also regretted that his brain was broken just now and sent Pai on the field.

Looking at Roy Williams' expression, he was also very angry at Ed Davis. It is estimated that he will never have a chance to play in this game!
