NBA: No. 1 Forward

Rick Pitino's words came out of his mouth.

The eyes of both Terrence Williams and Earl Clark changed.

They not only need to win this game, but also prove to everyone that their talent deserves a better prediction ranking!

After all, it is a young man, Rick Pitino's few words, directly hit the weakness of Terrence Williams and Earl Clark!

This set the hearts of Terrence Williams and Earl Clark on fire!

And Rick Pitino's words also made the eyes of all players become focused, and the previous contempt disappeared!

…

There is about half an hour left before the start of the game.

Players from both sides enter the field and prepare for warm-up!

When warming up, Lian Dao first did stretching exercises, and then felt his body stretched and stretched.

After shooting a few three-pointers, the touch before the game is very important.

Judging from these three-pointers, it's not bad, and the touch is all there!

The training is almost over, and all the fans at the scene have finished entering the stadium!

The coaches of both sides called their players to make final preparations before the start of the game!

Barkley and Kenny Smith's commentary has begun!

"Kenny, which team are you more optimistic about today?"

Barkley looked at Kenny Smith anxiously, afraid that Kenny would say: Louisville Cardinals.

As usual, this kind of question about which team to support should be asked by Kenny.

That way Barkley can speak directly in support: the Louisville Cardinals.

But Kenny Smith must have wanted to see his own joke today, so the players on both sides have finished warming up and haven't asked yet.

Barkley couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked this question!

Kenny Smith looked at Barkley with a smirk on his face, and gestured with three fingers underneath.

Barkley had an ugly face. He knew that Kenny Smith was making trouble. Three fingers indicated that he wanted to treat him to three big meals.

Barkley gestured a finger below, indicating that there was only one meal.

"Louis..." Kenny said slowly while looking at Barkley, and at the same time signaled with his eyes: If you don't agree, I will say it.

Buckley was really defeated by Kenny's shamelessness, he stretched out two fingers, and shook them firmly.

It means a maximum of two meals, and if there are more, I will support the same team as you, and we will die together directly!

Kenny also saw that two big meals were the limit that this fat man could accept, so he made an OK gesture under the table with his hand.

"Although the Louisville Cardinals eliminated the Kansas Jayhawks in the last game, I still see Southern California more. They eliminated the favorite Michigan State University in the last game!"

"Oh, Kenny, my opinion is different from yours. I am more optimistic about the Louisville Cardinals. As the No. 1 seed, they have more experience, and their zone defense will prevent USC from having any chance! "

"No chance at all?"

"Yes, it's incredible to know that Southern California can break into the top eight in the country, but they rely more on luck!"

"Charles, the NCAA is called a place where miracles happen, which means nothing is impossible. You underestimate the University of Southern California."

"In this case, how about we make a bet?"

…

The commentary of the two famous speakers at the beginning instantly filled the program's effect.

Many viewers also had more reverie about the outcome of this game.

While the two were chatting constantly, players from both sides also started the entrance ceremony.

During the opening ceremony, fans from both sides showed the highest enthusiasm!

The University of Southern California is the only seedling of the Parker Ten League, so it goes without saying that all the fans of the Parker Ten League are cheering for the University of Southern California.

The same goes for Louisville Cardinals fans, who want to see two Big East teams reach the National Final Four together.

After the opening ceremony, the two sides sent out their starting lineups respectively.

Louisville Cardinals: Edgar Souza, Jerry Smith, Terrence Williams, Earl Clark, Samardo Samuels.

USC Trojans: Daniel Hackett, DeMar, Dwight, Lian Dao, Gibson.

Rick Pitino was a little surprised to see the lineup of the University of Southern California. You must know that Vucevic's suspension has been lifted for this game.

According to the previous lineup, Vucevic should have an advantage in their center position.

That's right, this is the "run and gun" lineup that USC put on from the beginning.

The best way to break the zone defense is to continuously output outside lines.

And this lineup is the best way USC has come up with to break the zone defense.

Lian Dao and opposing center Samardo Samuels make a jump ball.

"beep!"

As soon as the referee whistled, the basketball was thrown into the air.

Lian Dao and Samardo Samuels jumped up, Lian Dao jumped half the height of the palm to get the ball.

USC goes first.

The Louisville Cardinals played zone defense early in the game.

After Lian Dao received the ball, Gibson mentioned the high position to cover Lian Dao.

Lian Dao directly used Gibson's screen to break through to the three-point line in the left half area.

That's when Earl Clark was held up by Gibson's screen.

Lian Dao had no defense in front of him, and directly shot a three-pointer!

Got it!

"brush!"

Opening the first three points!

Southern California also puts up a zone 2-3 zone defense, zone zone defense, which Southern California has practiced before.

At this time, it is not unfamiliar to use it on the field.

Zone defense is a relatively widespread defensive method used by the NBA and NCAA.

The advantage of the zone 2-3 zone defense is that the defensive players are in relatively fixed positions and have a clear division of labor, which is conducive to organizing backcourt rebounds and launching fast breaks. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

Basically, with a little practice, a team can put up a zone defense.

Easy to use!

Of course, there is no perfect tactic, and any tactic has weaknesses, and zone defense is no exception.

Area defense is restricted by regional division of labor, and there are certain weak areas in various area defenses, and it is easy for the opponent to attack more or less in a local area.

For example, the weak point of the 2-3 zone defense lies in the vicinity of 45° outside the left and right three-point lines.

This is also the reason why Lian Dao chose this point to shoot a three-pointer before.

However, the Louisville Cardinals didn't take their chances.

Terrence Williams misses a three-point shot from the perimeter.

Lian Dao got stuck and Gibson grabbed the rebound.

The reason why Southern California plays the same defense as the opponent is because the opponent's outside shots are not accurate.

Especially their outside core Terrence Williams, his outside shooting is not stable.

And USC is to seize their weaknesses, prevent sudden attacks, and not prevent shots.

Southern California went straight to the fast break.

Lian Dao received a long pass from Gibson and threw it directly into the hands of DeMar, who had reached the free throw line in the frontcourt without stopping.

After receiving the ball, DeMar was followed by a spiral dunk.

This dunk directly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.

No way, compared to boring defense, everyone likes to watch elegant dunks!

The University of Southern California made a perfect start of 5:0!

After entering the championship, Lian Dao also spent more time in the 4th position, which made Lian Dao's low-post skills improved, especially the low-post footsteps and the inside position.

This played a big role in the wave of scrambling for defensive rebounds just now!
