Chapter 115 Fighting Washington Again

Playing at home is always fun.Especially if the opponent is relatively weak, it will be more relaxed and enjoyable.If the opponent who was defeated by him some time ago is relatively weak, then don't be too relaxed and happy.

It's not just An Luo who thinks this way. When training resumed on January 1, the entire UCLA Bruins players seemed relatively relaxed.

It was a kind of worry from the bottom of my heart.After all, how can you speak bravely when you are defeated?
Still, Alford was the same.No matter who the opponent is or how strong he is, he always looks like he is facing a formidable enemy.

Actually, that's a good thing.As the head coach of a team, anyone can float, but he must not.

He still arranged training tasks for everyone, and then stood on the sidelines and watched with a cold face.On this day, Alford's roar echoed again in the training hall!

January 2016, 1, 29am, Parley Stadium.

There is still an hour before the start of the game, but the fans are already there. UCLA has not played at Paley Stadium for half a month, so these fans are very excited.Driven by the on-site director, these people danced awkwardly under the camera, and several audience members fought and danced under the care of the director. The funny movements caused bursts of laughter.

The atmosphere of the entire venue was pushed to its peak when the home players entered the field.

"The first one to play is our super scorer, a great guy from China——An~ Luo!"

With a shout from the DJ, An Luo rushed out of the player tunnel, and then waved to the audience under the spotlight.

"An Luo!"

"An Luo!"

……

"The last one to play was our starting point guard, Aaron Holiday from Ruston!"

"Aron~"

"Aron~"

……

Familiar names were read out by the DJ at the scene, and the audience also shouted in unison.This is not the NBA. Most of these viewers are from UCLA. In their hearts, these players are children of UCLA.

An Luo stood on the court, hearing the shouts all over the sky, feeling a little excited in his heart.He hasn't heard such cheers for half a month!In the away game, even the friendly fans will not cheer for an away team player like this.

Only the best form and victory can repay these fans who have worked hard to cheer and cheer for them.An Luo turned his head, glanced at the visiting team players who were warming up, and grinned. He still remembered the overwhelming boos the last time he was in Seattle.This time, it can let the other party see and see.

Dezhangtai Murray is also looking at UCLA's side. The last failure made him very unwilling.

It just so happened that the two people's eyes met, and they both saw each other's determination.An Luo nodded towards the other party, and then thought silently in his heart: Although you are strong, we are stronger!Since we were able to win last time, it will be the same this time!
"Coach, let me guard that UCLA shooting guard."

"Oh?" The head coach was a little puzzled.But as the best defensive player among perimeter players, it is also reasonable to defend the opponent's strongest offensive player.So he thought for a while, agreed to the request, and then said: "That guy is very good at three-pointers, but he is also good at mid-range shots and post-ups. You should pay attention!"

"Don't worry, Lorenzo!" Murray nodded, indicating that he understood.

Soon, the game began.

The scrimmage was between Alex and Marquese Chriss of the University of Washington, both tall and explosive.Marquez didn't win the last time, and he won't lose again this time.The referee's whistle sounded, and the two jumped at the same time, but Alex made a bad move. He hit the opponent with his butt in the air, and then slapped the ball to his frontcourt.

Prince, who was closest to the basketball landing point, was like a cheetah, grabbing the ball before the University of Washington players.Then he patted forward hard and passed it to Holiday.Alex was a little slower. He made an off-ball screen for An Luo at the top of the three-point arc, blocking Murray, who had been pestering An Luo, on the left side, and An Luo used This time the cover rushed directly to the right 45-degree angle.

Holiday had sharp eyes and quick hands, and sent the ball directly to An Luo from behind.The latter draws his bow and nocks an arrow, which is a three-pointer.

"Drip~"

Murray, who squeezed over from Alex's side, slapped An Luolian with the ball, and the thug fouled!
It was obvious that he was in a hurry.

The first ball was sent to the free throw line, An Luo was very helpless.In his mind, the only difference between shooting from beyond the three-point line and shooting from the free throw line is that one counts as a three-pointer and the other counts as one.For him, this kind of open three-pointer is not much different from free throws!
One of three free throws!

No surprises, this is his normal free throw level, which has been maintained at around [-]%.

It stands to reason that shooting from the free throw line can be counted as a mid-range shot, but his mid-range shooting ability does not affect free throws.Fortunately, his shot speed is fast enough, and he doesn't need to hit the basket, so he doesn't worry about opponents using this to target him.

In any case, An Luo can be regarded as the first team for the home team.

Next, An Luo felt Murray's defense.A pair of long arms can cover the space around An Luo, making it difficult for him to catch the ball every time.

But An Luo is not weak, his defense is even more oppressive.He knew that Murray's confrontation was not strong. As soon as the opponent received the ball, he pressed up, constantly confronting his body, forcing him to make mistakes.

In this way, two core-level guards were entangled.In the first half, the two basically did nothing on the offensive end.Instead, Alex and Marquez Chriss played very fiercely.You make a hook, and I wipe the board; you make a mid-range shot, and I make a three-pointer.

It's rare for the UCLA audience to see big men competing with each other.It's very novel, so they are very excited.

By 12 minutes, both sides began to replace the substitute players.

An Luo sat on the bench, panting heavily.During this period of time, he was really tired. He had been switching between getting rid of Murray and blocking Murray, and his physical confrontation was also very intense.Probably because it is not in the category of running without the ball, this bracelet is a terrible guy, the abilities inside are all limited in scope, and it is almost not nosy.

Fortunately, from the point of view of the situation, UCLA has the upper hand.After exchanging an offensive and defensive core with each other, UCLA's players are still stronger.Until the end of the first half, UCLA still maintained a 5-point lead.
