Chapter 21: Danny Granger
Coach John is only talking about theory, and Coach John doesn't know how to do it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But Coach John's judgment based on Sean's physical talent is to start with shooting, first, most of the superstars shoot very well, second, players who rely on their bodies to become superstars, physical talent must be perverted to the point of unbelievable, Sean is obviously not so powerful, even if Sean is not afraid of injury and breaks through with all his might, it is impossible to do as well as Wade and other superstars.
What Coach John said was only for reference, but it was a lot of inspiration for Sean.
I don't know how to enter the NBA in the future, but now in the NCAA, the defense Sean encounters is not very perverted. At least in the last game against Kentucky, Sean wasn't without a chance.
The opposing point guard is only 185, 10cm lower than the current Sean. With such a height gap, Sean can shoot directly, coupled with Sean's sharp breakthrough, the opposing point guard has a lot of energy to harass Sean and defend Sean's breakthrough, Sean actually has a lot of opportunities to make quick three-point shots.
But......
The terrible shooting sensation directly made Sean confused, burying the Trojans with a glimmer of hope of winning, and if Sean had been as accurate as Redick's three-point shot, the outcome of that game would have been completely different.
Of course, Redick's three-point shots are mostly open shots, which is completely different from Sean's own single-handedness and quick shots.
Having found a short-term goal, Sean has a much simpler thing to do.
Practice your three-point shooting ability.
Exercising a skill is very difficult for ordinary people, but it is not difficult for semi-professional players, for example, for Sean, Sean's previous breakthrough is very sharp, and he also plays with the dribble behind him, so it is easy to create shooting space for himself, but at this time it is a little difficult to combine it with the three-point shot.
If combined, Sean's offense will be taken to the next level.
In the past, Sean's three-point shooting ability was weak, so he could defend and break through with all his might, but now if the three-point shot is shot alone, it must be defended three-pointer.
If you want to defend the three-point shot, you have to get close to Sean and defend closely, but if you defend closely, Sean will be easy to break through.
This is a paradox.
Someone who can break through and shoot will have a hard time defending.
If you add Sean's ability to run without the ball and shoot when receiving the ball, Sean's strength will naturally increase greatly, but it is not a simple matter to really practice to make it instantly on the court and ensure the hit rate.
At the beginning of the practice, Sean made a quick stop to fight back, dribbled behind his back and stepped back to shoot, and made twenty three-point shots, only one of which went in.
This hit rate ...... Sean himself blushed.
Shooting at rest in the open position and shooting suddenly in the process of movement are different feelings, different concepts, Sean knows his gap, and will slowly improve.
Four days later, the Trojans played New Mexico State University away.
This game is typical of rookies pecking at each other.
The Trojans used to have the same dish as the State University of Mexico, and only one player on the team was slightly more adept, and the core of the State University of Mexico was called Danny Granger, who was very famous in high school like Nick Young, but did not go to a well-known university.
The two teams were originally evenly matched, but after Sean came, the gap widened instantly.
Mexico State University put the defensive center on Sean, and Nick Young was happy, and the defensive pressure was much less.
Sean performed averagely, hitting one of the four three-point shooting opportunities, but hitting six shots from mid-range and under the basket, scoring 17 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steal, and only 1 turnover, such statistics are good enough and quite efficient.
Danny Granger is doing well, very versatile, shooting, passing, breaking, defending, Danny Granger is doing well in his position. It's just that Granger looks like a projection-type all-rounder, unpretentious, and not too talented. From the point of view of the draft, the ceiling is very low.
Throughout the game, the Trojans were crushed.
The gap in absolute strength, Danny Granger is helpless.
After this game, the Trojans received much more pertinent evaluation.
It may not be the favorite to win the championship at all, but it still has some advantages over most NCAA teams.
If you work hard this year, you will have no problem getting to the round of 64.
As for how far it can continue, it depends on the performance later.
After this game, the NCAA regular season began to become more frequent, and USC faced teams from the University of Kentucky, Marquette University, College of the Holy Cross, Virginia Tech, Texas Tech, the University of Pennsylvania, and other schools.
Although USC's form is not necessarily very good, with wins and losses, overall, USC's win rate is already very impressive.
Sean scored a maximum of 34 points in these games, but led the team to defeat.
There were 8 turnovers in a single game, but the team won easily.
Steady and steady, the half-time soft grinding and hard bubble consumed the opponent.
Quickly attacked, and hit the opponent by surprise.
Although the USC Trojans are not very exciting, they are one of the dark horses in the NCAA. In particular, the performance of the three freshmen of the Trojans has attracted a lot of attention.
Sean Lee, currently the only Chinese-American point guard in the NCAA Division I League, has an excellent pass, a sharp break, and a passing shot, which makes a deep impression.
Nick Young, a former well-known high school student in the United States, has sharp jump shots, all-round scoring, can shoot, pass, defend and grab rebounds, and can be called an all-round warrior.
Gabe, the representative of a new generation of monsters under the basket. Maybe the offensive ability under the basket, Gabe is not strong. But Gabe's rebounding and rim protection ability under the basket are unique in the NCAA, USC may be slightly weaker without Sean and Nick Young, but without Gabe, USC will definitely be a weak team, with Gabe under the basket, USC has hope of turning the tables.
USC's inner and outer trio has received a lot of attention and a lot of praise.
In the midst of increasing frequency, USC finally welcomed a strong rival, the University of Illinois. The University of Illinois was not a strong team before, and although there were excellent players, it was far worse than Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, Kansas and other universities on the whole.
But in this year's NCAA rankings, the University of Illinois ranks in the top five, almost the same as North Carolina and Kansas, and the University of Illinois has three of the best players. DeBron, Deron Williams, Rutherhead, these three are known as the Three Musketeers of Illinois and are very famous.
In addition to this, there are also strong players such as Roger Powell, James Augustine, etc.
In the past two years, the University of Illinois has skyrocketed and become the favorite to win the championship, and in the face of such an opponent, all members of the Trojans feel Alexander.
