Odom said that this is the first time he has played so well in the NCAA, and the opposing defender is a head shorter than him to be negligible, and the opponent seems to have his head in the water and is not in the bag. Although he will encounter more stubborn resistance when he is under the basket, at least in the middle distance, he can fire with impunity.

But the manager's roar from the sidelines quickly pulled him out of his complacent: "Fuck me! Lamar, can you pass the ball to your teammates? Give me a good look at the numbers on the scoreboard, and don't want to go it alone! ”

Odom was still a little unconvinced, and all the stars had similar thoughts: I'm the best on the team, so I should play the ball for me. However, when he raised his head and glanced at the scoreboard, he was stunned by the numbers on it, why did the team suddenly fall behind by 8 points at 12-20? Aren't we evenly matched on the field?

The difference of eight points is not huge, especially after less than five minutes, but Odom is a little unacceptable to the fact that his team is behind. According to his logic, he obviously showed an extremely good state in this game, and his hand was unprecedentedly good, and the leader must be his own team. However, he seems to have forgotten that the University of Colorado is a team with strong three-point shooting ability, and they spend much less time per round than the University of Rhode Island.

Just look at the stats to see that almost all of the University of Rhode Island's scoring is concentrated in Odom alone, and the others add up to only 2 points, not even athletic goals. Colorado State, on the other hand, has almost everyone scored, and Palesio and McCans on the outside also hit three-pointers, so it can be said that this is a team that has no dead ends on the offensive end, although there is no star like Odom, but their overall strength is not weak at all.

Looking at the manager's eyes as if he was about to breathe fire, Odom nodded reluctantly and began to look for teammates in the high post, waiting for an opportunity to pass the ball out. But he hesitated in place for more than ten seconds, and didn't see his teammates run out of a single open spot, and the Colorado players stuck to their side like kraft candy, simply cutting off Odom's passing route. Seeing that the offensive time was approaching, Odom could only dribble a few times and then hit a jumper.

As soon as the basketball was shot, Odom confidently turned around and prepared to return to his half, but the boos of the fans made him realize that something seemed to have happened. When he turned around, he saw Ford pocketing the rebound with ease, followed by a pinpoint long pass across the court, and McCans, who had started early, scored a layup without any pressure.

The teammates all ran back in frustration, but Odom was left alone. Before this shot, he didn't miss any shots in this area this game, but just when he threw the basketball as usual, the ball hit the front of the basket directly, which is obviously a lack of strength, if this is not accidental, it is a terrible situation: his physical strength began to alarm, and now the first half is not even half the time, this is not a normal situation.

Odom overlooked one thing, and although he was easy and happy with Goodwin's defense, the latter never gave up on physical confrontation with him, which undoubtedly took a huge toll on his physical strength. And his teammates were all playing soy sauce on the side, and they didn't provide him with more help, which made his physical condition even worse.

By the end of the first half, Odom had scored 28 points alone, his highest score in an NCAA half, but the rest of the University of Rhode Island had only 10 points combined, which led to a 38-54 deficit. No one in Colorado has scored more than 15 points, but four players have scored in double figures, and the scattered firepower has left head coach Harrick at a loss, and one-on-one marking has no way to guard against ghostly passes.

Although Harrick kept asking Odom to pass the ball to his teammates more in the first half, as long as he is not a fool, he can see Colorado's big defensive strategy. And the rest of the University of Rhode Island players weren't very competitive, and the few shots they didn't take well, and they all ended up being defensive rebounds for Ford and Goodwin.

Harrick sighed silently, then what else could be done? Let Odom continue to play with the ball on his own! He knew that this was just in the hands of his opponent, but he was now also a clever woman who could not cook without rice, and only Odom could win this game, so he could only pin the hopes of the whole team on his individual performance.

In the locker room, Harrick could only repeatedly ask others to give Odom space to play singles, but at the same time, he had to constantly run for open shots. Everyone promised in their mouths, but they didn't have much confidence in their hearts, the players in Colorado State were too fierce in the first half, they couldn't avoid their bites wherever they ran, and what kind of empty shots were they talking about?

The second half was almost a replica of the first, with Colorado State in full bloom, and the high shooting percentage made Harrick, who was sitting on the sidelines, look gloomy. The University of Rhode Island still relied on Odom to score points alone, and other players scored piecemeal, but it didn't help the overall situation at all.

At the end of the day, Odom is still relatively weak, and if you can score 100 points in a single game like Chamberlain, or 40 or 50 points like Jordan, you still have a chance to win. But Odom's physical energy quickly depleted in the solo fight, even if he slowed down for a while at halftime, and couldn't hold it anymore after more than 8 minutes of the second half, shooting and hitting iron, and he couldn't even get stuck in the position when grabbing rebounds.

Odom's slump allowed the Colorado State to quickly pull the score away, but seeing that no one else could score, Odom gritted his teeth and continued to shoot with a miserable shooting percentage. However, his behavior looks more like a broken jar, and his low hit rate still occupies most of the shots, which is simply a crime.

In the end, Harrick couldn't stand it anymore, and he replaced all the starters and threw in the towel. Odom's stats are fixed at a big double-double of 36 points and 14 rebounds, but no team has scored in double figures except for him, compared to Colorado State, where two have 20+ points and four players have double-doubles. The final score was 88-62, which meant that Odom alone accounted for 58% of the team's scores, and many of his teammates' points came in the final garbage time.

At least judging by this game, team basketball scored a crushing victory against superstar basketball.
