If so, it is very suitable for certain occasions.

Outside the court, Li Ao heard the phrase 'make the Trojans great', and his sense of shame exploded.

But at 6:30 p.m., he entered the main arena of the Memorial Stadium and heard more than 20,000 fans chanting in unison, "Make the Trojans Great," and his feelings were completely different.

He felt like he was about to burn, as if the blood was boiling all over his body, and he had to adjust his emotions with all his strength to avoid being too excited.

Not only him, but everyone in the entire Trojan team was excited.

The enthusiasm of the fans made their fighting spirit even higher.

The frenzied atmosphere of the scene shocked the visiting Cardinals players.

Is this really that Trojan shame?

It's just an 8-game winning streak, isn't it?

The atmosphere also made them feel uncomfortable.

When they played other away games, they felt the atmosphere was worried and scared, and they entered the away stadium and they were greeted by heavy boos.

And the fans in this stadium don't seem to see them.

For the Cardinals, who are traditionally powerhouses, they can't understand what an eight-game winning streak means to Trojans players and fans.

After all, they won 11 in a row last season, and they have averaged 13-5 in the last 20 years of the PAC10 League's civil wars, with only the Wildcats being better than them and the Bruins being slightly inferior.

Shelby Jordan rushed to the court, snatched the microphone from the presenter who was mobilizing the fans, and yelled, "Only basketball and fans can't live up to it!" ”

A deafening scream suddenly sounded at the scene, as if it was about to pierce the ceiling!

Li Ao was dumbfounded.

On the show, it has to be 'Little Lambir'!

A certain No. 0 player quietly leaned up to Shelby Jordan, grabbed the microphone and asked, "What about your girlfriend?" ”

Shelby Jordan spewed out a "Vaco" on the spot, and the big screen shot showed the back of the Trojans bench, where his girlfriend was.

His girlfriend is also a very expressive person, and immediately put on a 'my mother is very angry' expression, Shelby Jordan quickly snatched the microphone back, and added a sentence of "Honey is on top of basketball", and the scene erupted into laughter.

This little episode eased the overly exuberant emotions of the Trojans players.

Henry Bibie, who wanted to say something to calm the players down before the bench, took out a piece of chocolate and ate something sweet to ease the bitterness in his heart.

After playing a little trick and saying hello to Vivian, Liam, and Dean Teng, who came to watch the game, Li Ao returned to the bench, turned on the system, and looked at the analysis report of the players opposite.

This opponent is really special!

It's fair to say that none of the teams he played against were the same.

They have three very clear strong points in the Trojans, such as Granville, Shelby Jordan, and White Mamba.

The Bruins are full of talents and take the high-end combat power flow.

The Wildcats have top talent and a well-balanced and strong roster.

The Sun Devils, with the ceiling of the Divisional Fighting Strength Eddie House.

And the opposite cardinal team, with a record of 7 wins and 1 loss, does not even have a player who has reached the first-class level in comprehensive evaluation!

The strongest Casey Jack Buson, with an overall rating of 84, is a freshman, the 18th in the nation in '99, a tall pitcher-type white point guard of 198 cm, and has averaged 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game so far this season.

The second strongest is Mark Ma Desheng, a senior prospective graduate nicknamed Mad Dog, with an overall evaluation of 83 and an average of 12 points, 9 rebounds, 1 steal and 1.5 blocks per game.

The overall evaluation is above 80, as well as the 193-centimeter tall point guard David Moseley, a senior with a comprehensive evaluation of 81; A 24-year-old super-mature 201-centimeter small forward Ryan Mendes, a senior medical major, has an overall rating of 80; Junior but 24-year-old backup point guard Michael McDonald, 185 cm, has an overall rating of 80.

Li Ao looked at the opposite head coach Mike Montgomery.

He has an impression of the legendary coach of the Cardinals, who is a famous college coach who has not adapted to the situation after going from the NCAA to the NBA, and after leaving the NBA, he was listed as one of the top ten worst head coaches in NBA history.

He had seen the Cardinals' scouting report before and understood why.

In college, the coach likes to use the players most are those who are older, more fully developed and more technically mature.

The Cardinals' five elite players, except for Jack Buson, who is a day older, are all 22 to 24 years old.

Of these 4 people, except for Mark Madsen who is expected to play professionally, the other 3 are basically the end of college is equal to the end of their basketball career.

And the coach's strongest joint defense in college was not popular in the NBA in the first decade of the 21st century, and he went to the Warriors, who were strong in offense and weak in defense.

Regardless of age, the lineup structure of the Cardinals team really made Li Ao feel numb.

How do you want to attack!

We can only hope that Bai Mamba's three points can tear apart the opponent's defense.

On the 22nd of last month, the Bruins were able to beat the Cardinals, and Capono's 25 points made a big difference.

However, what this opponent makes Li Ao most afraid of is not the five players with a comprehensive evaluation of 80+, but the twins!

Jason Collins and Jalen Collins.

Looking at the two people who looked like a hair opposite, he fell into deep thought.

Who can't the back be directed to?

…

At 7 p.m., the Trojans' home game against the Cardinals kicks off.

The Trojans started the lineup, with the Cardinals fielding the starting lineup of David Moseley, Jack Busson, Mendes, Mark Madsen and Jalen Collins.

The Trojans players knew that this opponent was defensively good and difficult to play, but after the actual fight, they still played crazy.

Mark Madsen defends like a mad dog, although his defensive skills are not as good as Shelby Jordan, his physical fitness is NBA-level, his defensive attitude is no worse than Shelby Jordan, and his defensive performance is even better.

Jalen Collins, David Moseley, and Mendes are also on the line, and although Jack Buson's single defense is poor, he has a high ball quotient, and he is not a hole when playing joint defense.

In the first 4 minutes of the game, the Trojans scored only 3 points!

But the Trojans are going crazy, and the Cardinals aren't much better.

They already know that the Trojans are not as soft as they have been in previous years, and they have played extra tough this season and they are prepared.

But the Trojans' defensive toughness still exceeded their expectations!

Granville has found his way of defending – gambling pressing.

The back is handed to the teammates, and the teammates help Granville through the joint defense, and when the Granville gambling steal is successful, he counterattacks directly, and when he fails, he immediately turns around to make up for the opponent's vacant person, and puts himself into the joint defense, blocking the opponent around the front to receive the ball.

An important reason why the Cardinals have struggled to go far in the Crazy Three is that they lack attacking players, that is, they don't have top-level individual power.

It is true that there are advantages in terms of technique and tactical understanding with older players, but there are also quite a lot to lose.

Their flaw was exposed again tonight.

They limited the Trojans to just 3 points in 4 minutes, but they also only scored 5 points!

It's time for the Trojans to attack again, and the white mamba, who was pinned on high hopes, opened the pot after hitting two irons in a row in the opening game, and hit a three-point shot!

6 to 5, the Trojans overtook the score!

The White Mamba threw away, and the Cardinals' defense suffered a huge blow.

Mark Madsen is good at defending single-player forwards, and he also does a good job of supporting defenses and rebounding ability, but he is not good at defending outside shooters.

Mendes is good at defending breakaways and cuts, and can even guard some point guards, but the big problem on the defensive end is that he is used to staring at the ball, and outside shooters without the ball often miss people.

Jack Buson has a good attitude and awareness, but his ability is insufficient.

After the white mamba made a three-pointer, he hit two of the next three offensive shots, a long two-point and a top-arc three-pointer, scoring eight points and tearing apart the cardinals' defense.

Fortunately, Jack Buson stepped up in time, scored a three-pointer, and gave a flight attendant to the cutting Mark Madsen to press the ball with both hands, and the Cardinals were able to stabilize the situation.

The score came to 11-10, and the Trojans still only led by one point.

And compared to the Cardinals, who played an outside pass, the Trojans relied purely on the White Mamba to score points, and from the perspective of the field, the former was the one who had the upper hand.

Running and shooting, Jack Buson is not as good as the white mamba, with similar talents, and the difference between freshman and sophomore is still quite big.

But passing, Jack Buson, who averages 3+ assists per game, is obviously stronger, and in the case of tearing apart the opponent's defense, Jack Buson performs better than White Mamba.

Henry Bibby called a timeout to make adjustments and replaced Lee Ao to defend Jack Buson.

The fate of top college pitchers such as Capono and Eddie House was repeated in Jack Buson.

Compared to those two, Jack Busson is a lot weaker.

After Li Ao came on, it was as if Jack Busson was back to that nightmare night on the 22nd, and that night, he met Matt Barnes.

Li Ao's defensive pressure was not as strong as Matt Barnes's, and the confrontation was not as fierce, but Jack Buson played harder.

Flexible pile-wrapping, more sticky pursuit, and that endless stream of small movements...... Jack Busson hits the streets......

Mendes was badly defended by Shelby Jordan, Jack Buson went into stealth, and the Cardinals' offense was completely crushed.

The Trojans, for their part, took advantage of the White Mamba's threat and scored 15 points in the next 10 minutes and limited the Cardinals to nine.

At 17:06 of the first half, the score came to 26-19, and the Trojans led by 7 points!

The Cardinals called a timeout to make adjustments.

The five-man duo of David Moseley, 196cm Kyle Rogan, Mendes, Mark Madsen and Jason Collins were substituted.

This is the strongest defensive lineup of the Cardinals!

Jason Collins, who has a comprehensive evaluation of 79, is the strongest center on the Cardinals, and his younger brother Jalen Collins has a comprehensive evaluation of 76, which is not as good as Jason Collins, and his data performance is stronger than his brother.

Draft expectations don't lie, and the 2000 draft predictions of major media outlets, if Jason Collins participates in the NBA draft this year, it is a lotto anticipation, and the younger brother is a second-round anticipation.

It's just that Jason Collins always has a motherly doting on his younger brother and has been used to his younger brother since he was a child.

The two played in the same position and were always on the same team, and he always gave up his starting position to his younger brother.

Henry Bibby also made personnel changes and tactical changes.

The White Mamba and Shelby Jordan were substituted, and the combination of Granville, Trepagnier, Li Ao, Brushenthal and Evanisco was replaced.

The ability to start the game to the advantage was expected by Henry Bibby.

Cardinals are characterized by a strong and stable defense, but the disadvantage is that they can't handle the top big shooters on the perimeter.

It's not like they can't take on pitchers, they don't defend Eddie House well, they can't hold down the shooting percentage, but their players are tall at every position, and they do a great job of cutting Eddie House from his teammates.

But it's no problem when you meet big pitchers like Kapono and White Mamba, who are more than two meters tall, and their teammates on the inside and outside can always see where they are.

This is actually the reason why big pitchers are very popular in the NCAA joint defense.

Next, it's the critical stage!

The White Mamba was not there, there were no other long-range shooters on the inside, and the Cardinals did a very good job of defending the pitchers on the guard line.

Whether the Trojans can withstand the cardinals' counterattack at this stage will play a decisive role in the outcome of the game.

After returning from the timeout, the Cardinals had David Moseley and Mendes on the offensive end, as Henry Bibby had expected, and the success rate of the individual was actually average, and they focused on defensive counterattacks.

It's not a difficult thing to analyze, the Cardinals' style of play has always been like this, and nothing has changed much in 20 years, but their overall strength is too strong, and most teams are useless even if they know how to play.

However, the situation did not turn out to be the same as he thought, and the advantage did not tilt in favor of the cardinals.

After David Moseley came up and hit an emergency pull-up jumper to meet Granville, Li Ao hit a long two-point shot with a one-step catcher inside the arc to stretch the gap to 9 points!

In the first 10 minutes, Li Ao only had 1 board and 1 assist, and he didn't shoot, and the first shot of the 'perfect warm-up' on the court was still there!

The cardinals' hand was lost in the opening stage, and it was another iron to fall into the positional battle.

This is actually normal for them, and their main scoring at this stage is counter-attacking.

But when the Trojans attacked, the Trojans scored again!

It's still Li Ao!

He hit the ball on the left side of the three-second zone and turned to shoot again!

With a base shot of 77 and the bonus of 'Catch and Shoot Expert Level 2', he has reached an excellent level of 80 in his catch-and-shoot shot!

The Cardinals really gave Li Ao a chance, and he made both shots that were open.

This is actually the advantage of the Cardinal team, although Li Ao soared 33 points in a single game when he played the Wildcats, everyone understood that it was just a special situation, and it was clearly an explosive performance, and the playing style was not shaken by the explosive performance of a certain player of the opponent, which was the embodiment of the defensive stability of the Cardinal team.

Before playing the Wildcats, Li Ao could shoot in the middle, but he could also shoot.

Defending Granville from breaking, defending Trey Pagnier from catching and shooting, and preventing Brusenthal from scoring inside are the focus of the Cardinals' defense.

But Li Ao scored two goals in a row!

At 30-19, the Trojans' lead came to double digits!
