Chapter 24: UCLA
Loyal fans of the Oregon Ducks looked at the atmosphere on the benches of both sides with disappointment on their faces.
In the past few years, the Oregon Ducks have made the fans who support them hopeless. It has been a long time since 2002 that they have not seen the Oregon Ducks get close to the semi-finals. In the 06-07 season, they still reached the top 8, but Since last season, a new round of hip-pull has started. Although he reached the top 64 last year, he was eliminated by Mississippi State University in the first round.
In the first game of this year's regular season, the opponent played 8:0 at the beginning. This kind of start made the fans of the Oregon Ducks full of confusion. If the game hadn't just started, these fans would probably choose to leave early up.
Although the morale of the members of the Oregon Ducks after returning from the timeout has recovered, and after returning, the Oregon Ducks chose to play more passes and cut cooperation. It is limited like Princeton tactics, but this kind of tactics requires the teamwork ability between players, and obtains open opportunities through continuous passing, running, and counter-running.
This tactic has certain requirements on the passing ability of all players on the court. Five players can pass, can shoot, love organization, and adhere to the overall basketball and team spirit.
But the current Oregon Ducks can't pass the ball.
Therefore, USC's internal and external defense is simply impregnable. It is difficult for the Oregon Ducks to get an open shot. Finally, they made a mistake in the third basketball conduction. DeRozan directly intercepted the pass and scored a fast-break dunk.
This goal also officially announced the failure of head coach Ernie Kent's tactical adjustment.
Finally, in the opening 3 and a half minutes, the opposing shooting guard Garrett Shin made a three-pointer from the outside, and the University of Oregon finally scored the first goal of the semi-synthetic game.
At this time the score has become 14:3.
After the opening 10 minutes, Lian Dao was replaced by Lewis, and the score came to 28:12.
The opposing coach did not dare to play the main players. After Lian Dao left the field, DeRozan became the core of the offense on the field. On the field, DeRozan showed everyone his talent as a McDonald's All-Star player. Emergency stop mid-range jumper, 180-degree dunk and so on.
Although Lian Dao was substituted, the Oregon Ducks have not been able to catch up with the score.
In the end, the first half ended at 49:32, and USC ended the first half with a 16-point advantage.
At the beginning of the third quarter, USC sent out "USC's five small lineups", point guard: Daniel Hackett; shooting guard: Lewis, small forward: Lian Dao, power forward: Gibson, center: Wu Cevic.
Except for Gibson, this lineup has three-point ability. Even Vucevic can pull out to shoot three-pointers, which is also the result of training with Lian Dao for a summer vacation. In fact, the hands of European players are relatively soft, and Vucevic's shooting is also very accurate, so after training his three-point ability, he can quickly grasp it.
This lineup is one word: score.
With the launch of the University of Southern California's outside three-point team, the opposing players who played directly were stunned.
In the 10 minutes of the third quarter, USC made 13 three-pointers and made 7 three-pointers with a shooting percentage of 53.8%. Among them, Lian Dao hit 3 three-pointers and Vucevic hit 2 three-pointers The ball, Daniel and Lewis each hit a record.
The score was directly tied at 77:48, with USC leading by 29 points, basically declaring USC a victory in this game.
The head coach of the Oregon Ducks, Ernie Kent, saw the lack of recovery in this game and directly replaced all the main players. Tim also replaced all the main players at USC.
The Oregon Ducks chased back some points through the bench lineup, and at the end of the game, USC defeated the Oregon Ducks 83:62 and won by 21 points.
In this game, Lian Dao scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, DeRozan scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals, Gibson scored 11 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, Vucevic scored 9 points and 8 rebounds in his first start . The four of them basically took two-thirds of the team's points.
This good start made all the team members very excited, and Lian Dao was also very happy. On the bus back to the hotel, all the team members chatted excitedly about their hobbies. The first-year school girls are beautiful, the senior school girls are very skilled, and the cheerleading goddess Shi Lina has a big butt...
The University of Southern California has recently won the Oregon Ducks and the Oregon State Beavers on the road, and has made a two-game winning streak to start the new season.
The opponent of USC's next game is the third place in the ESPN power rankings and known as the enemy of USC: University.
All the players and coaches of USC attach great importance to the university, not only because the university is a long-lasting nightmare of USC, but more importantly, this game is a game to test the true strength of USC.
Ranking third on ESPN's power rankings is definitely not only because of the glorious history of the team, but also the close cooperation they have maintained on the perimeter this season. The first two games of this season were against the Oregon State Beavers and Oregon Ducks.
That's right!
The first two opponents of the University and USC are the same!
It's just a different order.
These two games were won by a large score, and it is not difficult to see from the video that the opponent has no strength to fight back. The tacit cooperation of the players outside and the precise tactical movement seem to tell other NCAA teams: Even without Kevin Le Fu and Westbrook are still insurmountable mountains for you.
They may be very strong, but Lian Dao still sees their weaknesses from the game video. Last season, even with Westbrook on the court, they failed to defend Memphis with Derrick Rose, and they stopped in the national semifinals for two consecutive years.
And this season, Westbrook entered the NBA, and the outside line lost an offensive and defensive core.
Even with the addition of Holiday, the average score of 10.3 in the preseason and the first two regular season games does confirm that Holiday is indeed a talented high school student.
However, Holiday's lack of stability in scoring was still exposed. The team only scored 3 points, and this phenomenon ran through 12 preseason games and 2 regular season games.
This just reflects Holiday's lack of experience and his offensive ability is not as good as Westbrook's last season.
This is not the worst thing about the university. Lian Dao found that in the two games they lost in the preseason, most of them were due to the opponent's strong inside.
This is the exact opposite of their last season, where the presence of Kevin Love and Luke Richard Mbah a Moute made the interior very strong. The two of them averaged 16.6 rebounds per game last season. .
This is really an inside gate.
The key is that the two of them averaged 26.3 points and 3.4 assists per game last season.
And these two, like Westbrook, participated in the draft and entered the NBA.
This season, the inside line has become the biggest shortcoming.
Neither Alfred Aboya nor Nikola Dragovic's basketball IQ and physical fitness can be compared with Love and Mbah a Moute, which also caused the insiders to become "thousands of stabs".
But if you underestimate it because of this, you will definitely suffer a big loss in the game.
Ben Howland is the head coach. He took over from Steve Lavin in the 03-04 season. Except for the first season he joined, he did not enter the top 64. He led the team for the remaining 4 seasons. Reached the top 64, and in the three years of 2005-08, they reached the national semi-finals three times in a row. In the 05-06 season, they reached the national finals, but unfortunately lost to the "upstart" Florida Gators.
And the results of leading the team in recent years also illustrate the strength of Ben Howland, especially after losing the three main players of Westbrook, Love and Mbah a Moute this year, the preseason can still play a 10:2 regular season 2:0 record, which further illustrates the cleverness of Ben Howland's tactics.
