Chapter 18: coach, let me play
Next, the University of Oklahoma then double-teamed Lian Dao. This time, Willie Warren and Tony Crocker double-teamed Lian Dao. Willie Warren was very flexible. Lian Dao was careful about Lian Dao's three-point shot, while blocking Lian Dao's passing route.
If Lian Dao's passing route is so easy to block, then the vision with a score of 93 and the pass with a score of 79 will also be useless. Ball, that is like a tiger with wings added.
Lian Dao continued to make large dribbles, and Willie Warren and Tony Crocker also continued to step forward to compress Lian Dao's dribbling space. Finally, when Willy Warren took a step forward, Lian Dao Slam the basketball backhand into the floor under Willie Warren's crotch, and then watch the ball pass through Willy's crotch and bounce into DeRozan's hands in the corner of the court. After receiving the ball, DeRozan didn't need to adjust at all, and made a direct shot.
Next, because of too many fouls, Wilkinson was also shy in defending at the basket and couldn't let go at all. Gibson stepped forward to defend, Blake Griffin passed the ball to Taylor Griffin, Lian Dao stepped forward to assist Defense, he passed to Tony Crocker to shoot a three-pointer from the outside.
The number of fouls by Wilkinson caused USC's inside defense to be messed up. Finally, Wilkinson was defending again and slapped Blake Griffin, who was a low-post turnaround jumper, with four fouls.
Blake made two free throws.
When Tim saw Wilkinson get the fourth foul, he smashed the can, didn't call a timeout, and put him on the court. Then, he gestured to Lian Dao with a finger.
Lian Dao knew what it meant, and he raised **** to show his teammates the second set of tactics.
Then Daniel Hackett is responsible for organizing the pass, and Lian Dao and DeRozan are involved in running without the ball. Only one of the two has a chance, and that is whoever has the opportunity to pass the ball to whom.
Gibson and Wilkinson run the pick-and-roll.
In this way, Lian Dao passed the cover of his teammates and ran out of the opportunity at 45 degrees outside the three-point line. Daniel passed the ball in time.
Oklahoma point guard Willie Warren also made a three-pointer from the outside.
In turn, Lian Dao ran out of space, Daniel passed the ball a little slower, Taylor Griffin made up the defense in time, Lian Dao did not stop the ball after receiving the pass, and directly gave the racket to DeRozan who cut to the right baseline , DeRozan dunked directly after receiving the ball.

At the same time, the outside line strengthens the rhythm of return visits to prevent the opponent's fast break. Under the smooth offense and tight defense of USC, USC played a wave before the end of the first half: 26:15
The score between Oklahoma and USC at halftime was: 32:49.
USC ended the first half with a 17-point lead.
Lian Dao scored 17 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 turnover in the first half. The highest score in the half; Blake Griffin scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist in the half; DeRozan also scored 9 points and 2 rebounds after adjusting back to the state; Captain Gibson scored 6 points and 5 rebounds...
When Lian Dao left the court, he felt his legs cramp a bit, which was a reaction to his physical exhaustion. Panting heavily, he hurriedly sat on the bench, and kept lightly pressing the acupuncture points on his legs with his fingers to relieve the fatigue of his legs.
At this time, he played the entire first half for the first time, which was really not easy for Lian Dao whose physical fitness was only 64.
In the second half, Lian Dao and Wilkinson sat on the bench, DeRozan came off the bench, and the University of Oklahoma still made an all-starter appearance. Jeff Capel knew that Lian Dao had a physical crisis, and he would not play immediately in the second half , He took advantage of the absence of Lian Dao to let the main force chase points.
The fact is exactly as he wished. Without Lian Dao on the court, Nanga's outside defense has dropped a level, and its organization and offense are very chaotic.
The University of Oklahoma made a touch from the outside and made three-pointers one after another. In front of the three-pointer, the point difference of 17 points is really not much, even in the NCAA with 35 seconds of attack time.
This is no longer a headache for Tim. As long as the opponent's three-pointer is strengthened, it is impossible to be so accurate all the time, but USC's inside line has been blown up, and it has been blown to pieces. Leonard Washington, who replaced Wilkinson, was only 2.05 meters tall, and he couldn't guard Blake Griffin at all.
Although Wiljiansen is often blown up, Gibson's continuous defense can still limit Blake Griffin. But in his end, Griffin seemed to become a shark entering the water, turning the river and sea in USC's interior.
Let alone defending Blake Griffin, Leonard Washington is constantly being hit 2+1. What makes Tim the most angry at this time is that if you foul, foul hard, don’t let your opponent There is a chance to score 2+1.
In just over 4 minutes, the opponent scored 17:7, and the total score became: 49:56. The University of Oklahoma directly narrowed the point difference to 7 points.
Finally, when the ball was dead just now, Tim replaced Leonard Washington with Wilkinson. Wilkinson has now fouled 4 times, but there is no way. There is really no one available in the center position of USC.
Lian Dao watched his teammates being chased for points, and he was also very anxious. This game has already been fought for this kind of sake, and he doesn't want to hand over the victory.
So go directly to Tim for a fight.
"Coach, I've rested, let me play."
Tim looked at Lian Dao's legs that had just relieved some fatigue, shook his head, and did not agree.
"Coach, I can really do it. My leg is fine. We can definitely overturn this wrecked ship." Lian Dao saw that Tim did not agree to his challenge, and was making him a little anxious.
"Sickle, you have to believe in your teammates, you are a team. Besides, this is just a preseason game, you have to know that this game has an insignificant role in the entire series." Tim looked at the University of Oklahoma on the field The physical strength of the team members also had problems, but Lian Dao's challenge made him a little irritable.
Tim admires Lian Dao's game attitude very much. Only those who are extremely eager for victory will go to greatness. This kind of person will be very paranoid about success, and it is this paranoia that will promote the continuous growth of players. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com
But Tim knows he can't compare a preseason game to an entire series, and he's even less likely to put his players' health aside for a game. This is inconsistent with his professional ethics.
Although Tim is very strict, he also knows that all the players have tried their best in this game. Of course everyone is happy to win, but he will not blame the players for the loss. On the contrary, the problems exposed in this game can allow them to make up for it before the start of the regular season. This is good for going further in the national championship.
"Sickle, your current physical strength has not recovered to the level of playing. If you are allowed to play now, you are likely to be injured. Compared with your Jiang Kang, this game may not even be as good as shit."
Lian Dao was also very moved when he heard that, and slowly sat on the bench, no longer arguing with Tim to play, he carefully read the offensive and defensive rounds on the field, and tactical moves. He looked calm on the outside, but in fact there was a warm current in his heart.
Tim is not Lian Dao's first basketball coach. Lian Dao joined the basketball teams of different schools twice in four years of high school. The first time he put Lian Dao on the bench indefinitely because of the coach's distrust; The second time, although he got a chance in the senior year of high school, it was because the team was full of crooked melons and no coaches were available, so Lian Dao was allowed to play.
Tim is the third basketball head coach he has contacted since he came to the United States, and only Tim believes in himself. He did not permanently put himself on the bench because of his race.
Even though Lian Dao in his previous life was not as good as he is now, he still got a lot of chances to play. At the same time, this is also the first head coach that Lian Dao has seen so far, who puts the health of athletes first.
This moved Lian Dao, who was used to being ridiculed with cold eyes.
