The lineups of both teams are the previous starting lineups.
There are still a few minutes of preparation ti before the start of the ga.
UConn Hall of Fa head coach Jim Calhoun smiled as he watched the USC lineup.
He saw that Lian Dao was playing as a small forward, so Jim Calhoun was still going to play inside tactics.
Give the ball to Hashem as best he can.
And once Southern California plays a 2-3 zone defense, it will give the ball to the outside shooter. The University of Connecticut is known as the training base for talented shooters.
So he wasn't worried about UConn's outside shots at all.
After Jim Calhoun told all the players, the ga also started.
"beep!"
With a whistle from the referee on the sidelines, Hashim turned the ball back to the half court by virtue of his height advantage. This was one of the few tis that Vucevic failed to get the ball.
Lian Dao ca to the restricted area imdiately.
Hashim looked at Lian Dao on the inside and was a little surprised, but he didn't care.
When Lian Dao approached Hashim, he realized that he was half a head shorter than him.
And this guy looks very thin in the video, but he didn't expect that he has a lot of muscles.
There are two schools of thought for Hashim's practical future in the NBA.
One is that he missed the best period of ball growth. Many people think that it is the stacking of the Grizzlies inside, which has ruined this genius.
The other is that this guy is fundantally unable to adapt to the NBA, and he is the second place in parallel imports.
Lian Dao was also the first to face Hashim, and he also wanted to see how far this guy's confrontation could go.
Lian Dao first took out 6 points and took the initiative to fight off the ball.
There was no jacking, but Hashim started to struggle.
So two more points were added, and this ti Haim's footsteps were a little ssed up.
Lian Dao knew the extent of Hashem's power.
Then Lian Dao was easy to deal with, and he directly used his strength to push Hashim out of the penalty area.
Lian Dao's height is much shorter than Hashem's. If two people of this height are in the penalty area at the sa ti, then Lian Dao will suffer a lot in blocking and defending.
If Hashim is allowed to receive the ball in the paint, the defense basically fails.
And pushing Hashim out of the penalty area, Lian Dao can do more things.
This is how Hayes defended Stoudemire alone.
As long as the strength is sufficient and the defense is flexible, it is absolutely possible to deal with Hashem and the lack of confrontation.
AJ Price also discovered the problem at this ti, and his defender beca DeMar.
Facing DeMar, who was taller, stronger and with comparable speed, he didn't have a good chance to attack for a while.
So, the ball was passed to Hashim who was leaning against Lian Dao.
After Hashim caught the ball with Lian Dao, he wanted to turn around and attack the penalty area.
But imdiately found that he had no room to turn around.
His turning route was stuck by Lian Dao.
So, he quickly changed his offensive thod and played with his back, but then he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stand Lian Dao.
And at this ti, he found that no matter how he moved around, Lian Dao could always keep up with him, so that he had no chance to enter the inside line.
Seeing that he had no chance to attack, Hashim wanted to pass the ball back outside and let them reorganize the attack.
But his passing was not good. Looking at AJ Price, who was closely followed by DeMar, he had no chance to catch the ball, which made him wonder who to pass the ball to for a while.
And during this hesitation, the ball was snatched by Lian Dao, who was quick-handed and quick-eyed.
That's right, snatching.
Because the mont he grabbed it, Hashim was directly pulled to the floor by the force of the pull.
"Oh, at this ti, Hashim is like a child with a robbery steal, and he has no power to fight back at all."
At this ti, Jeff Van Gundy was very excited about Lian Dao's quick steal.
After Lian Dao made the steal, he passed the ball directly to DeMar, who was going down quickly. There were two players in Southern California going down at the sa ti, except DeMar and Gibson.
Because Gibson defends the opponent's small forward, the position is outside.
The UConn Huskies' only quick return was AJ Price.
DeMarre looked at AJ Price, who was neck and neck with him, and threw the ball back without looking at anyone.
Imdiately after Gibson received the ball, there was a dunk.
Jim Calhoun was taken aback when he saw USC's defensive counterattack.
He was stunned not because of this move and change of defense, but because he really didn't expect that Lian Dao's strength would be so great, and Hashim had no chance in the inside attack.
Jim Calhoun wanted to call a tiout right away, but held back. This was just the beginning, and calling a tiout at this ti also had a great impact on morale.
Jim Calhoun refrained from calling a tiout, and now he can only wait and see if Hashim can make a breakthrough in the next attack.
But Jim Calhoun was obviously thinking too much. This ti, Hashim wanted to get rid of Lian Dao and enter the penalty area to receive the ball.
But no matter how he moved, he found himself with no chance to escape the defense.
At this ti, AJ Price saw that Hashem really had no chance, so he shot DeMar from the outside.
Because of DeMar's interference on this ball, AJ Price's shot point was very high.
"Wow!"
Sure enough, the ball hit the basket's neck directly.
Hashim saw it and wanted to turn around and grab the board.
But then he found that he couldn't jump at all.
That's because Lian Dao was close to Hashem, and the entanglent of his arms and body made most of his strength hang on Hashem.
It would be weird if he could jump.
Vucevic easily grabbed the rebound over Jeff Adrian.
Southern California defended the opponent for two consecutive rounds.
But this ti the defensive fast break is impossible.
The main reason is that Vucevic's movent speed is a bit slow.
Lian Dao reorganized the offense after receiving the ball from the outside.
The University of Connecticut Huskies did not send Hashem to defend Lian Dao, and they did not dare to let Hashem defend Lian Dao.
Because that is equivalent to the UConn Huskies' inside line being empty It is Jeff Adrian, their power forward, and small forward Jero Dyson who defend Lian Dao.
The opening is double-teaming, and Jim Calhoun attaches great importance to Lian Dao!
In fact, Jim Calhoun also wants soone to be able to defend against cheap rice alone.
But the conditions are not allowed, neither Jeff Adrian nor Jero Dyson has the ability to defend cheap rice alone.
Jeff Adrian 201cm, Jero Dyson 190cm.
If either of these two n defended Lian Dao alone, Lian Dao would dare to make a three-pointer directly from the outside.
Double-teaming, as long as you can pass the ball, you will have a chance.
And Lian Dao's passing is not bad.
Lian Dao passed the ball directly to Gibson from outside the three-point line.
After Gibson received the ball, Hashim hurried forward to defend, and Gibson did not stop and passed directly to Vucevic under the basket.
Vucevic scored an easy dunk.
4:0
The opening was a crushing score, which made Jim Calhoun a little restless.
He can't control so much now, he needs soone outside who can score.
So a tiout was called imdiately.
The University of Connecticut's lineup this season is very similar to the Magic in Howard's ti, shooting all stars.
As long as USC can single-handedly limit the one-star Hashim, then basically half of the ga is won.
As for the shooter, it is the other half. If the University of Connecticut feels full on the outside, then the probability of USC winning the ga will be very small.
This is why Jim Calhoun now has to make the University of Connecticut play on the outside to reduce the pressure on the inside.
