The fans were also exclaiming with Hammer. The situation on the court turned too quickly. When everyone came to their senses, DeRozan had already received the ball in the middle line, and then passed it to Gibson at the free throw line, making a layup easily with three steps.

9-3, ASU head coach Sendik requested a timeout.

Taking advantage of this time, the fans on the scene looked up at the big screen, wanting to reminisce about the defense just now.

It turned out that Li Zhe and Hackett chased Harden all the way, one blocked the left and the other blocked the right, but after rushing to the free throw line, he deliberately slowed down, as if he predicted in advance that Harden would use European steps to break through and directly grabbed the basketball.

"Unbelievable, Jamie lives in Harden's head like a little man, and he can actually guess..."

Before Hammer could finish his sigh, Perry rushed to say, "I think this is a risky move. It is too easy to block the shot from behind and cause fouls due to invasion of the cylinder. He is just better luck."

Hammer shrugged slightly, "What do you think ASU needs to make adjustments this timeout?"

"It's obvious that USC is focusing on limiting Harden's catch, and they need to do more off-ball screens," Perry said.

The game is over and over and the game continues.

Glaser dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, pretending to cooperate with Els in a pick-and-roll, but actually went left with a fake shot. At the same time, Harden started from the bottom line and went to the left with the help of Cusco and Abbott.

The two met and handed over to cooperate. Harden received the ball and ran to the right wing, while the other players moved to the left.

In about two seconds, only Li Zhe was left in the right half, and he had to defend Harden alone.

The size difference between the two was too big, and the fans at the scene were a little worried and quickly booed and disturbed.

Li Zhe himself was not very panicked, and he still blocked the left and right.

But Harden seemed to have a calm mind pill and beat him to death without making a breakthrough. After changing hands under his crotch, he suddenly pulled the ball and withdrew his hand for three points.

With a clang, the shooting hit the iron, and Li Zhe accelerated his sprint when he heard the sound.

Sure enough, DeRozan got the defensive rebound and swung his arms very tacitly to throw a quarterback-style long pass.

Li Zhe received the ball in the frontcourt and moved to the back and passed Harden. Unfortunately, Glaser had already caught up to make up for the defense and could only slow down the speed to play the position.

The players of the two teams fell to their positions in a blink of an eye. Li Zhe raised his left hand, stretched out his index finger first and then stretched out three fingers at the same time.

This is the No. 13 fast zipper tactic that USC usually focuses on training. DeRozan immediately sprinted and rushed to the top of the arc with the help of Gibson's fixed-point cover in the elbow area, received the pass and bent down to start a single.

After Li Zhe passed the ball, he ran to the elbow area and also used Gibson's fixed-point cover to move towards the bottom line. At the same time, DeRozan made a strong breakthrough in the inside line. The two seemed to be running at the same time with a dual-core CPU, and ASU's defense was in a mess.

I thought that Coach Sendik knew his tactical intentions and shouted loudly to pay attention to the bottom line.

Cusco reacted and rushed up quickly, but Li Zhe skillfully braked and turned around like Takumi Fujiwara, and then stepped on the accelerator to accelerate to the left wing, receiving Gibson's pass to the open shot!

Bang! The basketball rebounded into the net by bounce, 12 to 3.

"Excellent!" Hammer raised his hands and cheered like a fan, while Perry looked cold.

ASU attacked, Glaser dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Harden used two unball covers to go around the top of the arc to receive the ball.

Li Zhe was still defending alone, but he still blocked the left and right, but after Harden changed hands and dribbled the ball continuously, he suddenly sank his shoulders and exerted a strong force.

The difference in core strength between the two is a bit big, like a heavy truck facing a Xiaoben, which Li Zhe couldn't stop it at all.

Seeing this, Gibson and Vucevic moved their steps to shrink to the basket, setting up a wall of iron in one second.

But Harden didn't care about this, and seemed to not hit the wall and never turned back, forcibly rushed to the basket and closed the ball and made a layup.

Bang! The basketball board missed and Gibson got the rebound.

USC counterattack, Li Zhe moved to the right after crossing the three-point line, and made no-ball cover with DeRozan in the elbow area. One ran to the top of the arc and the other rushed to the bottom corner, which was very fast.

ASU is not a strong team, and it only depends on Harden carrying it alone to get good results. Faced with this NBA-level running, their defense was instantly disintegrated, and the passing route was as well connected as a crossroad at six o'clock.

DeRozan successfully received the ball and immediately set up a three-threatening posture to pretend to be trying to hit, but in fact he passed the ball. At this time, Li Zhe had already run back and rushed to the basket, and received the pass and jumped to the spot.

Bang bang bang, the basketball rebounded back and forth and fell into the Nets.

14 to 3, the cheers in the Gran Center exploded on time like the fireworks on New Year's Day!

"Unbelievable, how did USC do it every time it attacked, as complicated and precise as it was specially arranged for tactics? They didn't have such a position last season." Perry frowned and asked.

"I have researched it after the game against UCLA. To be precise, USC did not have these tactics before the game against Riverside. If I guess correctly, the person who brought this change was Jamie Lee."

As soon as Hammer finished speaking, Harden had bent down and posed in a threatening position.

It was still Li Zhe who defended alone, always blocked left and right, and Harden chose to break through to the free throw line and rushed to the free throw line and shot in the middle.

Dang! The basketball hit the front of the ring and made a crisp sound of iron. Seeing this, the entire ASU team turned around and returned to defense.

Vucevic got the rebound, Li Zhe received the lead and walked towards the frontcourt. When he reached the center line, he suddenly closed the ball with both hands and pushed forward.

At some point, Gibson had already rushed to the basket and received the pass and dunked with both hands.

16 to 3!

Coach Sendik couldn't help swallowing his saliva, looked up at the big screen, and gritted his teeth and twisted his neck.

ASU offense, Harden played for the fourth single, but the ring seemed to have a round manhole cover alone, but still failed to hit it.

However, he seemed to have predicted that this result would be. He rushed to the low post on the right in advance to grab the offensive rebound, but just as he was about to raise his hand to shoot, Li Zhe cut the ball without hesitation.

Beep! The referee whistle sounded, and the foul was fouled by the foul, and the game was announced to be in a TV timeout.

Harden walked to the sidelines dejectedly. In order not to hurt him, Li Zhe gently patted him on the shoulder.

"You will really become an MVP in the future."

Harden's eyes wandered around for a few times and did not answer.

Back on the bench, Tim highly praised Li Zhe's defensive plan, and other players also gave thumbs up, but Li Zhe knew that this was just a little uncomfortable with Harden's sudden targeting, and it would become more and more difficult in the future.

After the timeout, ASU made adjustments to Harden's style of play and made full use of his breakthrough threat to create shooting opportunities.

Unfortunately, Glaser and others felt cold under high-intensity defense, and the number of iron balls added up to circle around the three-second zone. Fortunately, DeRozan went off the court and the score difference between the two teams did not further expand.

At the end of the half, USC led a sharp lead 32-19.

Li Zhe scored 15 points and 5 assists, and indirectly created goals and goals, while Harden scored 0 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. The data of the two formed a sharp contrast, and those who were optimistic about Harden were shocked.
Chapter completed!
