Chapter 153 The Rhythm of UCLA

On March 3, the game between the University of Kansas and UCLA was held at the AccuWeather Arena in Louisville.It's a matchup between the No. 27 and No. 1 seeds in the Southern Division.Both teams are very strong, and it will be decided immediately who will win.

The atmosphere at the scene was very warm, and the audience was too enthusiastic.AccuWeather Arena is much larger than Paley Field, so there will be more spectators watching the game.The sound is also louder and noisier.

An Luo was shooting the basket with headphones on.He felt a little noisy!When he entered the arena just now, he was so noisy that his heart was pounding.But today's game may be more difficult, he must calm himself down.

Whenever such a situation arises, An Luo will keep shooting.When shooting, An Luo felt that he was the calmest.Especially when he shoots three-pointers, this feeling is more obvious.So this is also a way for him to regulate his emotions, which is very effective.

Holiday, Alex and others are also warming up.They seem a little silent today, and each of them is suffocating in their hearts!I can't wait to start the game immediately, and then rush over to crush the opponent directly.

This was all due to the comments from the media before the game.Basically, nobody likes UCLA.

Kansas is a team with no glaring weaknesses.Although there is no absolute core like An Luo, their lineup is very reasonable, and both offense and defense are excellent.And they are resilient.In the previous games, no matter what rhythm the opponent played, it had little effect on them.It seems that it is always slow, but it is very efficient, and it can always take the lead unconsciously, and then take advantage of the trend to win the game.

They felt that Kansas just restrained a team with the rhythm of UCLA.Kansas's toughness is enough to withstand UCLA's crazy offensive firepower.As long as UCLA can't make a move, it will eventually be led by the nose by Kansas and lose the game.

Furthermore, Kansas players are much better than UCLA players.This is a problem. Holiday and Alex have played abnormally on the offensive end for two consecutive games!If the defense is still tough and can make a lot of contributions, UCLA may not be able to get here.

However, An Luo was not angry at all.When the high school league was played, who was optimistic about the Ninth Middle School?Besides, Kansas is really strong!However, it was far from being so strong that An Luo felt that he could not win.

An Luo is too confident in himself now!For a three-point shooter, confidence is a very important quality.Although An Luo never felt that he was just a pitcher, he did things that ordinary pitchers couldn't do.

With the whistle of the referee, the game started.

Alex got the ball on the first down for UCLA.That's a good sign. UCLA hasn't lost any of his jump ball victories.

Holiday is still holding the ball, An Luo and Alex are positioned on the left and right sides, Tony guards the basket, and Joc Goloman is near the free throw line, ready to respond at any time.

However, this attack did not succeed.The University of Kansas's defensive intensity is very large.Defending An Luo is their starting No. [-] Devonte Graham. He just sticks to An Luo, and then keeps using various extremely subtle small movements to interfere with him.

This kind of defense is annoying, but the effect is not bad!Anyway, An Luo didn't participate in the first attack.

With Alex hitting the iron from the middle distance, the offensive and defensive momentum of the two sides switched.Kansas controlled the ball and pushed quickly.But UCLA's retreat was also quick.

Kansas's offense also failed this time.Devonte Graham's breakthrough layup was interfered by An Luo, and he made a direct shot.

In this way, for as long as 3 minutes after the opening, both sides focused their energy on defense, but made no achievements on the offensive end.

In contrast, UCLA's defense is better.But Kansas is strong and provides more confrontation, which completely makes up for the gap in ability and system.

Such a game is very ugly!
When the game was close to 4 minutes, after Alex's screen, An Luo took the ball from the bottom corner and took a tentative step to shake off the Kansas forward after the defense, and hit his first three-pointer in the game, breaking deadlock.

Afterwards, both sides seemed to touch the seal at the same time, and the offensive end was opened.But the battle situation is very anxious, the two sides are biting every round, and every point is fought out.

An Luo still moves frequently on the field, he doesn't want to fight hand-to-hand with the opponent.This will greatly accelerate the consumption of physical strength.But not a few others, who have been entangled with the University of Kansas players.Especially the big black guy on the inside, who is desperately trying to get stuck with the opponent.Just to be able to take advantage when grabbing rebounds.

Before this game, most people were not optimistic about UCLA, thinking that they could not fight tough battles.But as the game progresses, they will find that they don't know this team even more.

An Luo and others showed their very tough side.The main forward Perry Ellis, who was very eye-catching against the University of Miami in the last game, played very uncomfortable under Alex's tight defense.Although the second position Devonte Graham is active, but facing An Luo's defense, his offensive efficiency is also very low.

As UCLA's main offensive point, An Luo is a little uncomfortable facing Devonte Graham's defense.But still played a very strong attack.

At 11 minutes into the first half, An Luo shot a cold arrow one meter away from the three-point line and hit the second three-pointer of the game.But this is not the point, the point is that immediately after that, he hit 2 consecutive three-pointers from beyond the three-point line.

What made the University of Kansas even more troublesome was that Holiday and Alex also made shots from beyond the three-point line.

You know, these two have not made a three-pointer for two consecutive games.But they have three-pointers, and the shooting percentage is not bad.

Holiday and Alex, who finally made a three-pointer, yelled with excitement!In the first two games, their mid-range and long-range shots were completely inaccurate. In order to win, they had to defend desperately and provide the team with the greatest help.

Even in the end, with the help of the two of them, the team reached the quarter-finals all the way, the UCLA fans didn't think highly of them.

Very aggrieved!But what can I do if my condition is not good?In this game, the positioning of the two of them is still based on defense, and they give An Luo more cover on the offensive end to help him create space.

But things are different now!Their crosshairs are back!Finally able to contribute on the offensive end.

An Luo is also very happy. The scoring ability of Holiday and Alex is very strong.Now that the touch is restored, they can finally play the familiar rhythm of UCLA!
