Chapter 54: Three seconds, critical moment
He was very dissatisfied with the defense on the field. After the main force came on the field, he was beaten by the opponent 15:2.
This is unacceptable to Tom Izzo, who has always been known for his tough defense and rebounding supremacy!
Looking at the dejected main players, Tom Izzo was also out of breath.
But now he has to solve the first thing: the morale problem!
"Do you want to go home now? If so, pack up your things and get out!"
"The dreams of some of you are shattered!"
"If you still want to play well, be fierce. We are Spartan warriors. Even if we die, we will fall on the way to charge!"
I have to say that little old men like Tom Izzo are not only good at tactics and player training, but also very good at poisonous chicken soup.
Just three short sentences instantly filled the lifeless bench with fighting spirit.
This old man, if he is not a coach, he should be a good hand in sales!
And Southern California is not like them. Tim just let the players sit on the bench and let the players recover as much as possible.
"Run and bomb!" The physical loss is too great.
The key is to do a good job of defending against the opponent!
Now, Lian Dao is a little more considerate of Nash. It\'s not that he doesn\'t want to defend. With his small body, he is already tired enough to attack. He really can\'t put more energy on defense.
Time always flies!
Pause ends!
1 and a half minutes to win!
Michigan State served, and Carlin Lucas broke through Daniel Hackett\'s defense and was about to go inside.
DeMar hurried over to defend.
Carlin Lucas then passed the ball to shooting guard Chris Allen near the free throw line.
Chris Allen was about to raise his hand to shoot, but when he saw Lian Dao defending him, he passed the ball to Drummond Green who had just run beyond the three-point line.
This time, Lian Dao was too far away and couldn\'t catch up at all. Dwight was the closest, but he was still a step behind.
Did not interfere with Draymond Green\'s three-pointer.
Drummond Green\'s three-pointer hit the basket, which made Green\'s heart tense instantly.
But then, the basketball rolled into the basket!
This made him instantly relieved. Tom Izzo is not very supportive of outside shooting three-pointers.
He won\'t praise if he enters, but if he doesn\'t enter, he will probably start roaring!
But fortunately, the goal was scored!
There is still 1 minute left.
If nothing else, Southern California and Michigan each have a shot.
This time, Southern California served the ball directly to Lian Dao.
Because the opponent carried out a full-court pressing defense.
If it is handed over to Daniel Hackett, it is possible that he will not be able to pass the ball in the face of this defense.
Drummond Green is like Rema Morgan, since Lian Dao got the ball, he has been interfering with Lian Dao\'s dribbling.
Lian Dao turned around and accelerated to pass Drummond Green, and then slammed on the brakes outside the three-point line.
This time Drummond Green learned to be smart and didn\'t rush out directly.
But Lian Dao directly made a fake gesture of worshiping Buddha, which instantly made Drummond Green sweat coldly, and hurried forward to interfere.
Lian Dao dribbled the ball under his crotch, then turned around and accelerated for the second time, passing Green, and directly inserted into the inside to take off.
And Green turned back to defend, but found that he hit Dwight Lewis!
Durrell Summers and Goran Sutton hurried back to defend, and Lian Dao didn\'t dare to do anything wrong in the paint at this time.
The two jumped up one after another, covering the basketball in Lian Dao\'s hands with their palms.
Lian Dao made a pulling action in the air to avoid the big hand of Durrell Summers, and then immediately changed the basketball from his right hand to his left.
This made Golan Sutton hit Lian Dao\'s right hand directly, and at the same time, the basketball in Lian Dao\'s left hand was thrown into the basket!
"beep!"
The goal is valid, 2+1!
Lian Dao fell on the floor and took a few steps forward to slow down the impact of the fall.
Watching the basketball go in.
Lian Dao waved his fist excitedly, and shouted:
"Go fuck!"
Lian Dao took the basketball to execute free throws. His free throw percentage was not very high, around 60 to 70 percent!
Lian Dao tried his best to breathe, to slow down the violent heartbeat, and the heavy panting caused by physical exhaustion.
"You are tired, you can\'t make a penalty, give up!"
When Draymond Green made free throws for Lian Dao, he kept chanting.
Lian Dao, freeing his mind from outside interference, slapped the basketball hard a few times.
Then adjust your breathing, aim, and dial the ball.
The basketball bounced off the rim and went in!
"call!"
It\'s too thrilling!
77:77!
There are still 30 seconds left.
Michigan State called a timeout, and Tom Izzo wanted to arrange tactics for the team\'s final attack, and he wanted to confirm the actual grasp of the shot.
And Southern California should try to defend the ball as much as possible, and try to delay the time until overtime!
This is the last timeout at Michigan State!
The tactics given by Tim in Southern California are to be careful of the opponent\'s two-pointers!
Watch out for Karin Lucas on the opposite side!
Because, the last ball is likely to be executed by Karin Lucas!
But Lian Dao had a feeling in his heart that the last ball might not be executed by Karin Lucas!
But at this time Tim had already given the order, and Lian Dao couldn\'t say anything more.
He can only pay more attention to Michigan players.
Unexpectedly, this time no Michigan State University was full of shooters.
There are only two main players, Carlin Lucas and Chris Allen, and the rest, including Draymond Green, are substitutes.
These players all have one thing in common, that is, they all have the ability to make three-pointers from the outside.
"They\'re going to shoot a three-pointer!"
This is the idea of all USC players, and this idea also crossed Lian Dao\'s mind!
When Tim saw it, his face turned black. He didn\'t expect the opponent to play cards unreasonably.
But the timeout is over~www.mtlnovel.com~ Tim can only shout at the players:
"Be careful of the opponent\'s outside shots!"
Lian Dao still felt that something was wrong, Tom Izzo was stubborn, and he would not change his decision easily.
How he would choose to end the battle with a three-pointer is so unreasonable.
And for Michigan State University, the risk of three points is even greater!
There is a conspiracy here!
This was the second thought in Lian Dao\'s mind!
No matter what, he wants to see what the other party is going to do!
It doesn\'t work if you think too much now, you can only adapt to the situation on the field.
Sure enough, after serving the ball, they attacked unhurriedly, constantly wandering outside the three-point line to waste time.
"No, you can\'t let them waste time like this, they want to use up the entire attack time!"
"This is too bad for USC!" This was DeMar\'s first thought.
DeMar rushed forward to double-team Carlin Lucas, just as DeMar stepped forward to double-team.
"They want to score 2 points! Be careful!" This is Lian Dao\'s roar!
Carlin Lucas moved the basketball straight inside.
A green No. 23 jersey on the inside jumped up to receive a pass from Carlin Lucas, and then dunked into the basket!
As for Lian Dao being blocked by the opponent\'s pick-and-roll player.
This allowed him to tell his teammates immediately the opponent\'s purpose!
But it was still too late, and everyone turned their attention to the outside line.
Didn\'t notice Draymond Green.
Michigan State was never going to hit the 3-point shot, all their intentions were for Draymond Green\'s final dunk!
Only 3 seconds left.
