Chapter 148 Villanova University
After reaching an agreement with his parents on the issue of running for the election, An Luo felt a lot more relaxed.

But the next opponent brought them a lot of pressure.

UCLA's [-]-to-[-] opponent is Villanova University, which is a veteran team.

维拉诺瓦大学从1920–21赛季开始征战NCAA，共30次打进NCAA全国锦标赛，次数名列全美第8。四次杀进锦标赛四强。1985年获得现今为止的唯一一次NCAA冠军。

This season, Villanova swept the league with their fiery perimeter touch.In the first two rounds of "March Madness," they shot a staggering 51 percent from three.In the last game, they blew the University of Maryland with 38 points, and the team shot 76.3% from the field.The flawless performance made the fans see a bit of the shadow of the NBA Warriors.

As far as outside firepower is concerned, Villanova ranks second, and no team dares to say that it is the first.

Although UCLA is also famous for its outside offense in the NCAA, most of that is supported by An Luo alone.Although the other few can shoot some three-pointers, they all remain around the NCAA average.If An Luo can maintain the three-point shooting rate he played against Connecticut in the last game, then he can almost exchange all the opponent's outside offense by himself.

But that was too difficult.The three-pointer is as strong as Curry, and he can't be accurate every game.

Alford carefully studied Villanova University's games this season, and in the end he looked solemn.The opponent's offensive firepower is too strong. The head star Josh Hart, the backcourt master Ryan Arcidiacono, and the all-around wing Chris Jenkins are all players who can shoot suddenly. Divide the ball.Inside, Daniel O'Sheafu, who has overcome injuries, provides rebound protection, and the lineup is perfectly matched.

Of course, UCLA still has their advantages.Most notably, their defense is better than Villanova's.Especially the perimeter defense is much better than the opponent.So, this game is interesting! The NCAA's strongest perimeter defense against the NCAA's strongest perimeter offense is simply a battle of spears and shields.

The game is still played at UCLA's Paley Field, which can be regarded as a slight advantage.

On the 3th of the 25rd, the UCLA Bruins were all geared up to face Villanova, a powerful opponent.It's a tough game, but they have to get over it.Otherwise, this will be the last game of the season.

The audience at the scene were very excited.Although UCLA was out of shape in the last game, it was only because of this situation that they witnessed a crazy An Luo.In this game, they are looking forward to a more exciting performance from UCLA.

However, there are still some people who really understand the ball, and they are sweating for UCLA.

"Today's game will be very difficult for us to play! Villanova's firepower is too strong, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold back."

"Don't worry, Ann will solve the battle! That's what he did in the last game." Probably, all the "brain fans" should view this issue in this way.

"Two fists are no match for four legs. Ann has only one person. It is too difficult to face the entire perimeter of Villanova!"

"Don't worry bro, there is only one Ann, but there is only one basketball. As long as Ann can make shots, what about the number of opponents? Ann's shots have never let us down!"

……

An Luo entered the stage amidst the shouts of the DJ. After he high-fived his teammates, he began to warm up.

He wore headphones, and after two sets of stretches, he started shooting threes.In today's game, he must maintain extreme concentration.Alford gave him a heavy task, and he also wanted to challenge the so-called strongest three-point team.

It's not that An Luo is conceited. Since he played until now, no one can absolutely beat him in terms of three-pointers.

His usual training is similar to the NBA's three-point contest.All five shots were within one meter of the three-point line.Twenty balls are thrown for each point, and five points are counted as a group.

An Luo practices at least five sets of three-pointers every day. He must ensure the rhythm and posture of his shots.Of course, on the day of the game, An Luo will not finish his shots during the warm-up, and there is not enough time.But the time to cast two groups is still more than enough.

Everyone else is doing their own thing too.Alex and Holiday are practicing layups, the big black Tony is practicing free throws at the free throw line, and Bryce is also shooting three-pointers.

Alford and his assistant coach kept discussing something.Although he had studied it thoroughly before, Alford was still a little worried.After all, his pressure is the greatest.In the two years before this, their lineup was also very good and they played very well.But they all lost in the sixteen-eight competition.If he loses again this year, he may have to look for a job again.Regardless of whether his work is not in place, as long as there is no result, the blame is his.

While shooting, An Luo stared at the Villanova players in the other half.It can be seen that the three-pointers of those guys on the opposite side are very good.

Soon, the game began.

Alex jumped a few times in the middle circle, and in every game, the first focus was on him.

Villanova's Daniel O'Sheafu met Alex on the jump ball.He came across basketball almost at the same time as Alex.Although his take-off speed is a bit slow, his height and wingspan have an advantage.Fortunately, it was Alex who was quick-witted and took the lead to slap the ball towards his frontcourt.

But the basketball was stolen by Villanova's Josh Hart.An Luo quickly posted it, and he followed Hart all the way across the midfield, keeping a distance of half a body from the opponent.But Hart didn't hold the ball much, passing it to Ryan Arcidiacono at the top of the key.The latter rushed into the inside under the cover of his teammates. Just when everyone thought this attack was over, An Luo saw Jenkins slipping back to the bottom corner at a glance.

But he was too far away.And at this time Alex has chased Arcidiacono into the inside.Holiday also understood what the opponent wanted to do, but was blocked by the opponent, which slowed down the speed of changing defenses.

"It's going to be bad!"

An Luo is very familiar with such tactics, and they often use them themselves.Holiday yelled at him and stretched his arms, but it was just trying to interfere.

But it didn't work, and the ball went through the rim of Paley Field with precision.

Villanova University took the lead in the away game and played exquisite cooperation from the beginning.
