Since the victory over the University at home, the yers of USC have cooperated more and more tacitly with each other, and the overall strength of the team has also improved to a higher level.
The tactical cooperation between the yers has be more and more mature.
Especially after Lian Dao''s speed increased, although he still suffered a bit against the nimble small forward, he was able toplete most of the defense through strength and positioning.
Although the 69-point CIC is not very stable, it also ys a big role at critical moments.
Lian Dao can be regarded as taking off thebel of "no CIC" and recing it with thebel of "CIC is unstable".
From January 14th to February 14th, the team yed against the Arizona Sun Devils, Arizona Wildcats x 2, Washington State Pumas x 2, Stanford Cardinals, and California Golden Bears.
In those eight games, USC has a record of 6 wins and 2 losses.
Among them, they defeated the Arizona Wildcats and Washington State Cougars at Galen Center at home, and lost the game by a small margin in the away game.
The second game against USC''s arch-enemy was held at Pauly Arena, USC''s home court. USCpleted its season double y.
Coach Ben Hond was on par with USC in the first half, but in the second half, Lian Dao mentioned the 4th position, and after ying a defensive counterattack, he directly entered a state of defeat.
In particr, Lian Dao developed a mid-range shot in the fourth position, which made Ben Hond shake his head again and again.
Aside from colleges, the biggest problem for USC is the Arizona Sun Devils.
Except for James Harden and the Arizona Sun Devils, only Jeff Ayers was a yer who entered the NBAter.
There are no other outstanding yers.
And it is such a team that, under the leadership of James Harden, actually yed a 14:2 start record.
Looking at James Harden without a beard at first, Lian Dao was a little ufortable, but Lian Dao could tell that he had started to grow a beard.
There was already a circle of not particrly long down on his face.
But looking at James Harden now, he doesn''t feel like a college student, but a bit like a high school student.
If he actually went to nightclubs with his current face, I guess all the nightclubs in Arizona would not let him in.
This guy didn''t grow a beard to go to nightclubs, did he?
USC didn''t underestimate James Harden just because of his looks.
Last season, he led the Arizona Wildcats to a record of 21 wins and 13 losses. This year they retained the lineup from the previous year, and they have run in even better.
USC is all about the Arizona Wildcats for a few years.
But in the end, he still suffered from this guy. With his breakthrough and shooting fouls, he got 6 free throw opportunities in the first half.
In the second half, Lian Dao and Demar switched defenses. Lian Dao relied on his height and wingspan to give him a wider defensive range.
But Lian Dao''s speed was at a disadvantage against Harden.
As a result, this guy keeps breaking through and drawing fouls.
In thest ten minutes, Vucevic was put on the bench because he hadmitted five fouls.
At this time, the scores of the two teams were evenly matched. At thest moment of the game, Lian Daopleted the lore with a super long three-pointer.
And the University of Southern California also created the best start, 17 consecutive victories!
Although the winning streak at the beginning made all the yers very excited, the pressure on all the yers is also obvious.
All the team members were already tired, but they all held their breath and dared not rx.
After training, everyone will stay in the training hall for additional training!
The head coach Tim is both happy and worried. What he thinks about is that everyone is working hard to expand the winning streak; what worries him is that once the team loses, the yers will be discouraged, which will lead to the team losing streak.
Finally, against the Washington State Cougars with y Thompson, the prolonged pressure and the opponent''s defense made the USC team feel nothing in the first half.
y, a freshman, is far less powerful than he was when he was in the Golden State Warriors inter generations, and he has not yet practiced the Buddha''s light.
But at this time, his three-pointers had begun to take shape, and what impressed Lian Dao most was not his three-pointers, but his running position.
At this time, y has developed his own way of running.
He can use the screens of opponents and teammates to run out of space, and then shoot cold arrows from the outside.
Except for y and their point guard, the main yers of the Washington State Cougars are all over 203 cm tall.
In the game at Freer Court, USC had no hands.
Especially the Washington State Cougars double-teamed Lian Dao at the beginning of the game. Their team has a three-point shooter, and they are too aware of the power of a three-point shooter.
This also caused Lian Dao to have no good shooting opportunities outside the three-point line. He forced two shots and found that the confrontation consumed most of Lian Dao''s physical strength, which caused him to have no shooting touch.
Lian Dao is not obsessed with getting back his touch, but keeps assisting his teammates by passing the ball.
But in the first half of the game, it seemed that all the pairs had been cut off from the shooting sights, and everyone''s shooting percentage was terribly low.
At the end of the first half, they were directly behind by 26 points.
It was hard to find the shooting feeling in the second half, but the hole dug in the first half was too big.
And when both teams have three-point shooters, the point difference depends on the shooter''s shooting percentage.
Unfortunately, Lian Dao''s shooting percentage in the first half was really low.
So the game lost to the Washington State Cougars on the road by 7 points.
After losing to the Washington State Cougars, USC lost to the Arizona Wildcats.
Two consecutive defeats!
And against the Stanford Cardinals, the California Golden Bears and the Arizona Wildcats at home, the University of Southern California stopped the losing streak and went straight to a three-game winning streak.
And when they yed against the Washington State Cougars at home, Southern California led by a big score and achieved four consecutive victories!
On February 14th, the second game between the University of Southern California and the Washington State Cougars, this time the University of Southern California yed at home, with revenge and full of fighting spirit.
At the beginning of this game, Lian Dao yed without the ball, and got open opportunities through teammates'' screens or opponents'' screens. Daniel Hackett was also always ready to pass the ball to Lian Dao.
As long as Lian Dao has a chance, Daniel Hackett will pass the ball in time.
In this way, the University of Southern California, ying at home, established a 13-point advantage in the opening 10 minutes.
In this game, Lian Dao also showed his powerful scoring ability to everyone.
Three-pointers, breakthroughs, mid-range shots, and dunks.
The Washington State Cougar forward of the same height couldn''t prevent Lian Dao from breaking through in disguise.
Every time, Lian Dao''s fake dribble moves out of his position.
Lian Dao, who has a feeling of shooting, even the CIC has a good shot The University of Southern California maintained a big lead in the game until the end of the game.
In this game, Lian Dao got the highest equal score so far.
42 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds.
He made 12 of 18 three-pointers.
The three-pointer is also only three points away from tying the NCAA single-game record for the highest three-pointer.
In 1996, Keith Pooh set the record for 3-pointers in a game between Marshall and Morehead State: 15 of 25.
At the end of the game, y Thompson stopped Lian Dao.
"Can we swap jerseys?"
Exchange jerseys? Wish it was the second NCAA yer besides Griffin to exchange jerseys with Lian Dao.
"Of course, I''m honored!"
"Don''t think that I was defeated by you, I just want to beat you in the next match!"
y Thompson worried that Lian Dao might misunderstand the purpose of exchanging jerseys, so he exined to Lian Dao while taking off the jersey.
"Of course not, I''m waiting for your challenge, but the premise is that you will enter the yoffs of the Parker 10 League."
"I''ll be waiting for you in the yoffs!"
It is believed that the Washington State Cougars can enter the yoffs, but it is not known how many rounds they can survive.
The two unfolded each other''s jerseys in front of each other, looked at each other andughed.
Probably the sympathy between the shooters!
And it was this scene that Hand captured with a camera, and it became a photo that waster talked about by fans of the two.
College basketball is like this, passionate and pure; it is possible that two strangers who have never met before will be sympathetic friends because of a basketball game!
