University of Memphis starting lineup: Dornier. Mark 195cm, Terek. Evans 198cm, Antonio. Anderson 198cm, Robert. Zill 206cm, Sean. Taggart 208cm.
At the beginning of the game, the University of Memphis was the first to find the rhythm of the game. Evans scored two points on a driving layup, then Antonio hit a three-pointer, and Robert Edwards scored two points. Ziel scored two points on a layup.
USC was beaten as soon as they came up, and they didn't expect that this game, which seemed to the outside world to have no more difficulties, was beaten 8:0 at the beginning.
Charles. Barkley is partnering Kenny again today. Smith commented on the game, the big ass has always supported USC, and at the moment he hated iron and steel, and said: "It's really awkward defense, not moving your feet, not talking to your teammates, not preventing breakthroughs, I'm going to blackmail them with this game tape." ”
Kenny. Smith laughed, "You know, on average, out of ten of my friends, at least eight out of ten people believe that USC will win, and maybe even they think so themselves, if that's the case, I can tell you that this is how the so-called 'underdog' was born." ”
"It's a little tight today, you see, these players in the USC don't seem to have woken up, if it weren't for Wu Huang's help in defending just now, the University of Memphis would have dunked the ball." Master Reasonable explained the NCAA game broadcast live by CCTV for domestic fans for the first time today, but unexpectedly, the University of Southern California called a timeout just over a minute after the opening, but it didn't matter, the skilled Master Reasonable quickly threw the pot to the other four people outside Wu Huangwai.
"I think this timeout is very timely, and the USC timeout is mainly to solve two problems: the first is how to score to catch up with the score, and the second is how to stop the opponent from scoring." Master Sun's comments are loud, and this trip to the United States is his partner Master Reasonable. As soon as CCTV Erbao opened his mouth, the fans in front of the TV couldn't help but kneel.
These two masters have always been recognized by CCTV as two living treasures, but if you watch their commentary with an entertainment mentality, you will find that this kind of commentary is actually not bad. Especially Master Reasonable, this old-timer really has something in his stomach, and Master Reasonable really hopes for the rise of Chinese basketball, which is worthy of everyone's respect.
Wu Huang also met with Master Reasonable before the game. The latter was simply overly enthusiastic about him, and even gave Wu Huang a feeling of facing the four brothers.
However, Master Reason's gaze at him was more of an indescribable joy and pleasure. This kind of gaze, Emperor Wu has seen it in Su Qun, and he has also seen it in Yao Ming, maybe only those of them who have gone out can truly experience the taste of patriotism, and that is by no means a pleasant taste.
"We acted like a piece of shit, look at the fans who supported us. Did we just shout Who-We-Are? Emperor Wu was very dissatisfied after the end of the game, and asked: "Do we just want to tell them that we are a piece of?" ”
Floyd, the head coach, has not yet started to spray, Wu Huang can't stand it anymore, although he himself is a little underestimated, but these teammates seem to be even more excessive.
But then again, Freud's reprimand is not necessarily as good as Emperor Wu's scolding.
Just like in the Lakers, Kobe's words are sometimes more effective than Zen masters.
USC doesn't have much of a problem tactically. The opening was not good because of the attitude of the players, but also because of the good form of the University of Memphis itself. But anyway. Wu Huang's personal strength is clearly there, and it's hard not to let him score.
After the game restarted, Wu Huang immediately responded with a breakthrough layup, but the University of Memphis played smoothly on the offensive end today, Evans had a strong presence after the opening, and a pair of long arms and control of the rhythm made DeRozan be compared to others again. The University of Memphis, under the leadership of Evans, played successful pick-and-roll cooperation time and time again.
USC has prepared for this kind of offense beforehand, but sometimes you can't stop the opponent from scoring even if you defend well, and that's clearly the case today.
"That doesn't mean that. Is it time for me to behave? Wu Huang quickly figured out that his teammates were "stupid" to look "awesome", and now he could even hear the fans yelling at all the USC players except him, which was a good feeling.
The undefeated USC is certainly not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the defensive end is a little weak for the time being, but after a simple adjustment, they gradually found their offensive rhythm, Wu Huang and Bart scored one after another, and the University of California quickly responded with a wave of 7:2 from the University of Memphis.
At 14 minutes and 20 seconds of the first half, the score was 9:13, and the University of Southern California pulled the difference to 4 points, which was not too far behind.
After that, the two sides played inextricably together, and at the second TV timeout, the two teams were tied at 14:18, and the difference remained in place. However, after this timeout, USC began a large-scale counterattack, Wu Huang took the lead with a three-pointer to set off a scoring frenzy for the team, and then DeRozan ran back to receive a pass, and the front was strong against the bouncing but underweight Sean. Taggart, performed a wonderful slam dunk.
USC's offense regained its level and went on a 9-2 spurt to outrun the University of Memphis 23-20.
This time it was the turn of the University of Memphis to ask for a timeout, and head coach Calipari had a headache with USC's "can't prevent it, just play with you" style of play, Wu Huang and DeRozan have strengthened the ball-holding breakthrough offense, although their interior line can jump and their feet are fast enough, but their confrontation ability is really poor, especially in the paint area The deterrent is not strong enough.
"If USC plays its own offense, even if the University of Memphis scores a lot, but in the end, I'm afraid they won't be able to beat their opponents." Calipari is well aware of the gap between the two teams, and if they want to beat their opponents, they must first defend their opponents and at the same time open up their own attacks, and without either of them, they are not sure of beating USC.
After the timeout, the University of Memphis put on a two-to-three defense, increasing the number of defenders on the inside, ready to see if USC's long-range projection is in shape today?
Coincidentally. The University of Southern California also wants to try the opponent's long-range shooting skills, in this regard, the University of Memphis has not been stable enough, although it is difficult to deal with on time, but there are often embarrassments that no matter how you shoot, and there are many times.
Both teams faced the combined defense of their respective opponents, and neither team could find a suitable offensive method at first. However, after a few rounds of probing, the stars began to show their worth.
USC's elevator tactics were once again meritorious, and Wu Huang ran back to get rid of Dornier, who had been pestering him today. Mark, caught the ball and hit the second three-pointer of the game.
After ten minutes of the first half, USC used the elevator tactic for the first time, which was naturally intentional.
In the last game, Wu Huang used this tactic to break the NCAA single-game three-point record, and it is impossible for the University of Memphis not to take advantage of the four-day break to find a solution, so now this set of tactics is no longer suitable for becoming a regular tactic. Freud turned him into the icing on the cake or a desperate tactic that would only be used when it mattered most.
Evans has been missing long-range shots in a row during this time, which is his weakness, his range cannot reach beyond the three-point line, and he is heavily guarded by USC in the middle range, so he can only hold the ball and play inside. But with a Gibson in the paint area who was always keeping an eye on him, Evans soon found it getting harder and harder for him to score.
Emperor Wu's light gradually compared Evans to Evans. Compared with Evans, who is struggling more and more on the field, Wu Huang has shown everyone that he can become the champion.
Would-be champions face the same drum-like paint area. First, he scored two points from a long distance, and then used his teammates' cover to force the inside line and disrupt the opponent's defensive formation when facing the bag, and then distributed the ball.
Although USC's scoring began to decline in the opponent's defense, Wu Huang's long-range shooting and breakthrough points kept them increasing one after another. On the other hand, the University of Memphis is under the joint defense of the University of Southern California. However, it is difficult to guarantee the growth of their scores, and the gap between the two teams in terms of hard power and stars is clear at a glance, and the score begins to widen little by little.
At 4 minutes and 12 seconds of the first half, the score was 29:22, and the University of Southern California was unconscious. The difference has been widened to 7 points.
Evans broke through with the ball again, trying to use his strong body and prominent arm reach to make a layup, but in a two-to-three defensive formation, the interior was full of people, which was really not a good choice, and Gibson slapped Evans to the floor with the ball under the basket.
The referee suspended the game, not because someone fouled in this round, Gibson's block was very clean, but Evans obviously didn't think so, after getting up from the floor, the talented defender stepped forward to Gibson with an angry face and shouted a question, and the two did not give in to each other, and immediately rose to the bull.
Emperor Wu immediately stepped forward to pull up the side frame, and on the surface, he put on a posture that he knew Evans, so he kindly went up to persuade him. But in fact, as long as the two of them really made a move, he would immediately hug Evans, who would inevitably take two old punches at that time, which was Emperor Wu's innate cunning
Master Sun saw that the director didn't cut the picture, and hurriedly didn't have anything to say, and talked about the internal unity of USC: "When USC has an argument with other teams, Wu Huang usually speaks for his teammates. ”
Master Reason hurriedly nodded: "That's right. ”
The fans in front of the TV vomited blood again, and if they don't speak for their teammates, do they still speak for their opponents?
In fact, most fans want to see the game staged in the full martial arts, but unfortunately this skirmish did not make a little wave, this kind of global high-profile competition, if there is a brawl, the impact is too great, these players even if they have no brains, they also know to restrain their anger.
Wu Huang chuckled in his heart, it doesn't matter if he can't fight, this is a good opportunity, after this skirmish, the University of Memphis should have begun to have problems with his mentality.
The players at the University of Memphis did have an impatient mentality, and they had already done a good job at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but they just couldn't stop the score from being pulled apart little by little, and it was not surprising that they were impatient.
Calipari was experienced and immediately called a timeout.
But after the pause, Wu Huang still began to go berserk, first made a foul in the face of the double defense, and used the 1+1 rule to score two points. Then there was a textbook fake fall in the paint area, when the two players who were holding Wu Huang had just touched his body hair, Wu Huang screamed and threw himself on the floor, and the basketball slammed out before he fell to the ground, "bang", and smashed accurately on the opponent's inside face.
