NBA: No. 1 Forward

At the end of the program, the host announced that CCTV 5 will broadcast the NCAA round of 16 and subsequent games.

This directly made the boy jump up excitedly, anticipating in his heart, wishing that the round of 16 would start now!

"Crack, click, click!"

The sound of the key turning the door woke the boy up instantly.

It must be that my dad is back. If I let him see how dirty I was just after playing, I guess I really want to eat fried pork with bamboo shoots tonight.

With the fastest speed, the teenager rushed to his bedroom with the basketball in his arms, and then rushed to the bathroom with the basketball still in the bedroom.

Well, it seems that the speed is not bad!

However, this similar phenomenon occurs in most families.

"Basketball Park" is only broadcast every Friday, and many fans who like basketball will lock in this time immediately.

However, due to the pressure of adults to go to work, as well as work reasons, most of the channels locked for the first time belong to teenagers.

It was this day that Lian Dao gained countless fans in China.

After the Su skirt "Basketball Pioneer News" was released, it was also sold out, and many people also realized that there was a teenager playing basketball in the NCAA.

…

Lian Dao didn't know what was going on in the country. After he accepted Su Qun's interview, the two of them had a meal together, and then Lian Dao returned to the hotel where he was staying.

Because the next game was still at the Hubert Humphrey Dome, Lian Dao asked the assistant coach for the game video of the Michigan State University Spartans after returning to the hotel.

Lian Dao originally thought that he would miss the game against the Michigan State University Spartans in this life, because USC has a very good record this season and is the second seed.

But Lian Dao forgot that the Michigan State University Spartans were the second seed this season in history, and this time they were squeezed out by the University of Southern California.

But the squeezed Michigan State University Spartans also won the third seed. They eliminated the North Dakota Bison and Dayton Flyers in the round of 32 and round of 16.

And the two teams will be the opponents in the next 16-to-8 games.

The 16-to-8 game is the most exciting start of the NCAA tournament, because its intensity and attention have reached the maximum.

For this reason, many fans gave it a nice name called "Sweet Top 16".

This year's Arizona Wildcats are not as lucky as in history, although they still defeated their opponent Wake Forest Demon Deacons in the first round.

But they encountered a strong opponent in the second round, which is 32 to 16: Kansas State Jayhawks.

There is a saying in the NCAA league, called: Never underestimate the Kansas Jayhawks, even if their players look mediocre.

The Kansas Jayhawks have an excellent history. They have won three NCAA championships in the past games, and the most recent one was last season.

Moreover, they have won the NCAA third place three times in their history, reached the Final Four 13 times, reached the Elite Eight 19 times, and reached the Sweet 16 24 times.

Oh, plus this one is a 25-time, 38-time NCAA Tournament pick!

This is not a bunch of data. The history of the Kansas Jayhawks at this time reveals the word "excellent" from players to coaches.

In team history, more than 50 players have been selected by the NBA. Among them, the famous Chamberlain is from the Kansas Jayhawks. Now there are nearly 20 active players in the NBA.

It can be described as the blood transfusion station of the NBA.

And coach Larry Brown is the champion coach who went out from this university.

And it was this famous team that lost to the Michigan State University Spartans in a 16-to-8 game this year in history.

Therefore, this season's Michigan State University is really strong, and the devil's schedule belonging to the University of Southern California has really begun.

In addition to Lian Dao watching the game video at the University of Southern California, assistant coach Tim is also watching the game video.

"What do you think are our chances of winning?" Tim asked the assistant next to him, smoking a cigar.

To be honest, he doesn't have much confidence either. The opposite coach is Tom Izzo, so he wants to hear the assistant coach's opinion.

"Michigan State is known for its great guard play, tenacity and rebounding. So this game is actually the game that tests us inside the most.

And if we can't keep our inside advantage, we may be defeated directly! "

TAs give their point of view.

Tim thought for a while, then shook his head.

"We need to have an advantage on the outside. Only by expanding the advantage on the outside can we force the opponent to increase the defense on the outside, which can also reduce the pressure on our inside."

The teaching assistant also nodded.

To say that this season, USC's strongest point is definitely its perimeter defense and scoring ability.

Especially Lian Dao and DeMar, the two of them are called "Southern California Double Guns".

In terms of inside, Gibson does not need to worry, the old players are talented, the more powerful and experienced they are.

What Tim is most worried about is Vucevic. Vucevic has a strong shooting ability and is a space-based center.

But this is Vucevic's first season, his physical gain has not been completed, and the inside confrontation is still weak.

If it is a university that is not strong inside, then USC does not need to worry at all.

The performance of Lian Dao and Demar made Tim very relieved to the outside line.

But it just so happens that Tom Izzo's team is an inside meat grinder.

Izzo is known for his "War" rebounding drills, in which players don football helmets and shoulder pads.

His motto is "Players Game - Tough Players Win".

His other coaching philosophies include "he doesn't decide the minutes, the players decide" and "teams coached by players are better than teams coached by coaches".

Tom Izzo is also known for planning an extremely tough non-conference schedule, known as the preseason, to prepare for the NCAA tournament in March.

And later in 2013, Izzo was named the fifth furious coach in college basketball by USA TODAY Sports, an honor he cherishes.

…

Same as USC Tom Izzo is also watching USC games in the conference room.

He also had a headache for the University of Southern California, watching DeMar's dunk after the breakthrough, Lian Dao's tough defense, and a successful dunk against the defender.

He didn't take Lian Dao's "three-pointer" seriously. He always believed that scoring from outside was always the worst way to score.

He didn't think Lian Dao would have a good shooting space under Michigan State's tough defense.

But he was very worried about Lian Dao's breakthrough, and he saw that Lian Dao's breakthrough was not only based on skills.

Instead, it focuses on physical strength and speed, supplemented by skills, especially in the two games of the championship.

"Why didn't you find out that he still has the ability to break through?"

Tom Izzo was also very puzzled when he looked at Lian Dao who was tossing and turning, because when watching the previous regular season games, Lian Dao's speed was always his criticism in the third position.

But in the blink of an eye, it was the championship game. Unexpectedly, the speed of criticism would grow into a scoring weapon on the field.

"And this kid's wingspan and strength are too dominant, a natural genius in the fourth position."

"It's ridiculous that the USC head coach would put him at the three."

Tom Izzo watched the video with a sneer from the corner of his mouth.

"We'd have a real problem with the kid at the four, but at the three, he's going to enjoy the gift from Michigan."

"We are not the soft-footed shrimp in your regular season. Let me teach you how to play basketball!"

After talking to himself, Tom Izzo put the chocolate in his mouth directly into his mouth.

He really enjoys the feeling of "bitterness before sweetness", because in Tom Izzo's view, the process of victory is bitterness before sweetness!
