Chapter 44: Sixty-four into thirty-two
All Southern California players walked out of the player tunnel one after another. The old students were fine, but the freshmen were stunned as soon as they walked out of the player tunnel.
Although I knew there were a lot of spectators and fans outside the arena, I was shocked when I actually came to the scene!
The gymnasium with more than 50,000 people set off wave after wave of noise, occupying most of the red color, making Lian Dao think that he was back at the Galen Arena in Southern California.
But soon they came back to their senses, because they saw the Robert Morris Colonial team also came out, and they also looked like the USC players just now.
And compared to Southern California players, they froze for longer.
But none of the USC members laughed at the Robert Morris Colonials.
Instead, he patted the basketball and came to the court to do warm-up exercises.
The Robert Morris Colonial team also reacted, so they are also doing pre-match preparations.
Shot to the auditorium.
Fans on both sides frantically waved their flags and shouted the names of the teams they supported in the air.
Many fans of the Robert Morris Colonial team also came. In their view, regardless of the strength of the opponent, the probability of winning is 1/2, and the most important thing in March Madness is a dark horse.
There are also many scouts in these auditoriums.
The teams that are directly interested in Lian Dao have sent their own scouts to the scene to inspect.
NBA teams interested in DeMar and other players have also sent scouts.
No way, the quality of USC players this year is indeed very high.
And this year, they all think it's a young draft year, so most of their eyes are on some players they are more optimistic about!
There is no distinction between home and away games in the "March Madness" arena. Whoever has the highest seed will be the last to play, so the University of Southern California is the last to play.
The lineup sent by the Robert Morris Colonial team is: point guard: Jimmy Lanhurst (180cm); shooting guard: Betko Francisco (185cm); small forward: Jeremy Chapple (190cm); Power Forward: Mezzi Nwegui (193); Center: Rob Robinson (203cm).
Immediately afterwards, USC played, and USC still sent out the previous plastic surgery: point guard Daniel Hackett; shooting guard: DeMar; small forward: Lian Dao; power forward: Gibson; center: Vucevic.
When the two teams played, the fans of both sides gave the loudest shouts to support their favorite teams and players.
When Southern California played, the fans shouted louder and supported relatively more fans.
Lian Dao was the penultimate player to play. When he played, all USC fans shouted Lian Dao's English name.
Lian Dao also raised his hands and waved to the fans who supported him.
The opening ceremony ended and players from both sides entered the field.
The overall height of the University of Southern California is one degree higher than that of the opponent. Even the shortest player, Neil Hackett, is taller than the opposite power forward.
And this game really explained why it is said: the movement of the basketball stone giant.
From the jump ball onwards, USC dominated the Robert Morris Colonials all game.
With Lian Dao's current height and wingspan, he can directly pull up a jumper from the outside three-pointer, ignoring the defender to block the shot.
Because Lian Dao found out that even if the opponent jumped up, he couldn't reach the height of Lian Dao's shot.
DeMar also kept rushing into the opponent's penalty area, completing various dunks, and his excellent physical fitness also attracted the nods of the scouts in the auditorium.
Of course, Gibson and Vucevic also turned into twin towers inside. USC's inside line directly became a no-fly zone. In just one first half, Gibson sent out 4 blocks.
And if one word can be used to describe the entire first half, it would be: Cruel!
Because the first half was over, everyone knew the game was over.
USC scored 68 points in the first half, and the Robert Morris Colonials scored as much in the first half as Lian Dao did: 23.
At halftime, USC led by 45 points.
In the first half, the Robert Morris Colonial team was also beaten. They haven't scored in March Madness for a long time, so they lack the experience of playing against strong teams.
I didn't expect that the University of Southern California would go all out at the beginning of the game, with full firepower.
They had been trying to capture the arrogance of USC's No. 2 seed before, and they opened the game with a wave of offense to open the score.
In this way, even if the University of Southern California reacts, it can use the NCAA's 35-second attack time for each attack to fight time and position with USC.
In this way, even if they really can't play later, they will not be drawn too much. If USC relaxes, they may still win.
But they didn't expect that the University of Southern California would play this game as the finals at the beginning, and the beginning would be targeted defense.
The offense cooperates with each other and flows smoothly.
And the Robert Morris Colonials simply couldn't defend against USC's impact.
It crashed right from the start.
Suddenly, can't get in, defend, can't defend, they beat them in the whole first half, and they were a little suspicious of life.
As for? The No. 2 seed is playing against the No. 15 seed. Are you so cruel?
That's what the Robert Morris Colonial players really thought at the end of the first half.
The head coach of the Robert Morris Colonials, Mike Rice, shook his head again and again looking at the situation on the field.
He has nothing to do, when the strong are serious from the beginning, they have nothing to do.
Looking at this group of talented players at the University of Southern California, Mike Rice shed tears of envy.
"If my players also have this talent, then we can also kill the Quartet!"
At this time Mike Rice just thought. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
But immediately, this unrealistic idea should be discarded.
He doesn't want to be so frustrated next time. After this game is over, he will visit some schools and recruit his own talented players!
At this moment, Mike Rice's thoughts were extremely firm!
And Lian Dao also scored 23 points, 15 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 2 steals in the first half.
This is also the overall data of Lian Dao.
Because in the second half, except for DeMar, all Southern California players were replaced by substitute players.
At this time, the fans of the Robert Morris Colonial team looked disappointed. They really didn't expect that their favorite team would be beaten so badly. If it weren't for the waterproofing of USC in the second half, it is estimated that this game can break the NCAA single-game score The largest difference recorded.
And all the fans who support USC are very happy. They have seen the hope of USC's rise this season.
All the scouts who came to watch Lian Dao, DeMar and Gibson's game couldn't help secretly excited, they all found the potential of USC players.
Especially Lian Dao, his continuous improvement made most scouts more optimistic about Lian Dao's potential.
There was no breakthrough when he was in the third position at the beginning, but now he can directly tear through the defense with speed.
It only took half a year for Lian Dao to improve, and this speed of progress made some scouts who kept paying attention to Lian Dao gasp.
I believe that some of the data passed this time will strengthen the choice of some teams.
In the last ten minutes, Demar came down and replaced Vucevic.
At the end of the game, the University of Southern California won the game with 98:51.
The University of Southern California also entered the top 32 without bloodshed.
