NBA: No. 1 Forward

USC\'s first-round opponent is the Stanford Cardinals.

In the regular season, when the University of Southern California played against Stanford University, it was very easy to clock in the second half for ten minutes. In the previous two games, USC expanded its lead at the beginning of the second half. All put on substitutes.

Although the strength of the University of Southern California is indeed much stronger this season, but the head coach Tim will emphasize before each game that we must pay attention to our opponents and not underestimate them.

There is never a second chance in a single-elimination match, and underestimating an opponent is tantamount to suicide.

"Single knockout matches have always been the cruelest competition system. There is no retreat at all. If you want to win the highest honor, you must always be prepared. This kind of preparation is not only an advantage in your own strength, but also an advantage in your heart. Do it well Be fully prepared and don\'t let yourself leave regrets on the field!"

As soon as Tim\'s words came out, the effect was still considerable, and the contempt of many players subsided.

It was also what Tim said that made USC go all out in the game.

And here comes the first victim of Tim\'s words.

At 82:53, when USC played against Stanford University, it was playing the game like a championship finals, and it was less than 30 points ahead by one point.

This game also put Stanford University in a trance. When the game ended and shook hands, the faces of Stanford University players were dull.

Lian Dao was also very helpless about this. He just patted the opponent\'s player on the shoulder when shaking hands, and said comfortingly: "Your strength is good!"

Lian Dao didn\'t know if there was a deviation in the understanding of the Stanford University players. When they heard his words, the Stanford University players looked at Lian Dao with strange expressions.

On March 13, it was the league\'s playoff semifinals, and USC\'s opponent was the Arizona Sun Devils.

That\'s right, it\'s James Harden\'s team.

In addition to Harden, the Arizona Sun Devils also have a good center: Jeff Ayers.

Lian Dao remembered that this player would be selected by the Sacramento Kings with the 31st overall pick in the second round of this year\'s draft, and then traded to the Portland Trail Blazers.

After that, he was reimbursed for the season due to a torn cruciate ligament in the preseason of the 2010-11 season.

Portland Trailblazer deserves to be called the "Tear City"!

In this game, Lian Dao switched defenses with DeMar at the beginning, and Lian Dao misplaced to defend James Harden at the beginning.

James Harden saw that the defender was Lian Dao, just like in the regular season, he wanted to use his speed advantage to directly break through.

But what he doesn\'t know is that Lian Dao is not what it used to be.

Every time James Harden makes a breakthrough, Lian Dao can always move quickly to keep up with his breakthrough.

This surprised James Harden.

He didn\'t think that Lian Dao\'s speed increased in a short time, because he felt that it was unrealistic.

He just thought that Lian Dao had been playing him in the previous games.

"This **** is an old 6."

This was Harden\'s first thought.

However, when he was thinking wildly, there was a flaw in the dribble in his hand.

Lian Dao looked at the right time, and scooped out the ball as soon as he looked back.

Immediately after that is a fast break with all its strength.

At this time, James Harden also reflected it and tried his best to catch up. Now Harden has not been promoted to "Master of Eye Defense".

But he soon found that even if he chased Lian Dao who was dribbling empty-handed, he couldn\'t catch up with him for a while.

At this time, James Harden was even more convinced that Lian Dao was the old 6.

He held back for so long, just wanting to catch other teams off guard in the playoffs and the following March Madness!

Of course, Lian Dao didn\'t know that James Harden had already completed a brainstorm in just a dozen seconds.

Now Lian Dao just enjoys the feeling of running with all his strength to chase the wind.

Dribble all the way to the three-point line, and take three steps directly. The height of 206 makes Lian Dao have a pair of long legs. Lian Dao\'s one step is almost catching up with others\' one and a half steps.

Jump directly inside the free throw line and smash the ball into the basket with one hand.

James Harden looked at Lian Dao with a complicated face under the basket.

After he saw Lian Dao take off, he didn\'t follow the jump to block the block because he knew that he was not as strong as Lian Dao.

Even if he takes off to block the shot, he probably won\'t succeed, and there is a high possibility that he will be scored 2+1 by Lian Dao!

Sure enough, he deserves to be the "Son of JDZ" who will dribble with one hand and flip the league rules with the other in the future. He will not only make fouls, but also know how to avoid unnecessary fouls!

So, just watching Lian Dao defend and counterattack and successfully dunk the whole court.

And the next James Harden also learned to be smart, he no longer blindly used speed to break through.

He began to use small moves to attract Lian Dao to defend, thus trying to cause a foul on Lian Dao.

Lian Dao was too aware of this guy who hadn\'t grown a beard yet.

In terms of familiarity with the rules of foul-making, Lian Dao is ashamed.

Because this guy has a hard time for the defenders of other NBA teams. When defending him, his hands are behind his back.

It\'s almost turned into a "ha" color change.

I still remember that when I was watching the game, Lian Dao was stunned and said directly: This is outrageous!

But you have to admit that James Harden\'s study of basketball rules is definitely a master.

Although Harden has been tempting Lian Dao, Lian Dao is not fooled.

What\'s more, Lian Dao deliberately put one foot backwards, making a look like "I want to defend you from breaking through."

Sure enough, James Harden saw that Lian Dao was focusing on his own breakthrough, so he directly sent his signature: a step-back three-point jumper.

And when he took a step back, Lian Dao shifted his center of gravity back, and when he took off, Lian Dao followed closely.

If you look at James Harden\'s eyes again at this time, you will find that his eyes are full of astonishment, surprise, and shock!

"I\'m **** by this old 6 again." That was the final thought that came to James Harden\'s mind.

Relying on his height and wingspan, as well as his take-off time at the same time, Lian Dao slapped James Harden\'s basketball out with a single slap.

After DeMar picked up the ball, he ran all the way, and also had a one-stop dunk.

Losing two back-to-back offenses **** Herb Sendek of the Arizona Sun Devils.

Shouting at James Harden: "Don\'t blindly play singles, remember to pass."

James Harden just nodded silently.

However, the members of other positions of the Arizona Sun Devils are inferior to USC in terms of talent and strength.

So when James Harden is strangled at this point, then the result of the Arizona Sun Devils can be imagined.

James Harden passed the ball to his teammates, but the teammates were also stared at by other USC players, and there was no room for a good shot at all.

And the forced shot is either taken off or missed.

You know, the strength of USC this season is because of USC\'s strong defense.

Except for Daniel Hackett, the main players, the other members have excellent defensive skills.

Let\'s put it this way, USC ranks first in the Parker Ten League in the proportion of defensive counterattacks and success rate this season.

So in the face of the impregnable USC, which has an excellent offense, Herb Sendek of the Arizona Sun Devils is also jumping on the sidelines.

But no matter how anxious they are, can only see the team\'s lagging score being stretched a little bit in the end.

By the end of the game, USC vs. Arizona Sun Devils: 83:59.

USC took a 24-point lead.

In this game, Lian Dao also scored 28 points, 14 assists, 8 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.

When the players from the two teams shook hands, Lian Dao found that James Harden was looking at him with resentment.

Lian Dao thought it was James Harden who was stimulated by the loss of the game.

There is still some emotion in my heart: Deng Ge is still very pure at this time, and has not yet become a nightclub in the future.

You see, after the team lost, he still blamed himself!

But Lian Dao never imagined that Harden was just intimidated by Lian Dao, the old 6.

Moreover, in Harden\'s heart, he always felt that there must be something hidden in Lian Dao now.

Just wait for March Madness to give other teams a hard time!

DeMar also looked at Harden with a proud face, and Harden not only rolled his eyes when he saw DeMar\'s triumphant appearance.

The two have known each other since they were young, and DeMar was born to the abusive Harden in junior high school.

However, since entering high school, Harden\'s body and game skills have grown by leaps and bounds in the past three years. James Harden has changed from a short and thin man who was randomly ravaged by DeMar to a fat man with a strong body and sharp breakthroughs.

By the time he was a senior in high school, DeMar found that he could no longer guard against his childhood friend.

And this time the University of Southern California\'s triple play against the Arizona Sun Devils can be regarded as revenge for DeMar\'s senior year shadow!
