Chapter 158 Semifinals

2016年4月3日，2015-2016赛季NCAA锦标赛终于拉开了最终四强的帷幕。

Coordinates Houston Reland Stadium, which is the home of the NFL team Houston Texans.Against the two sides, wearing dark jerseys is the UCLA Bruins fighting all the way through the siege and gradually showing the champions.On the other side, Buddy Hield, who has one of the scoring tools of this year's competition and has been bullish in the draft, has averaged 29.2 points per game in the past three games, leading the University of Oklahoma's short-footed team all the way. Play the triumphant song.When the two powerhouses are fighting, no one wants to fall outside the gate of the finals.

The highlight of this game is still focused on An Luo and Buddy Hield.

This season, Buddy Hield averaged 35.4 minutes per game, scoring 25 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals, shooting 50.1% from the field and 45.7% from three-pointers.Hield scored at least 35 points in two games during the NCAA Tournament, leading Oklahoma to its first NCAA Final Four since 2002.

安洛场均出场32分钟，得到28分、2.3个篮板、1.6次助攻和2.3次抢断，投篮命中率为65.3%、三分球命中率为57.6%。锦标赛期间，安洛同样是两场至少得到35分，一场49，一场39。

These two No. [-] positions, no matter in person, are really too similar!None of them are the type with particularly strong bodies, both are good at three-pointers, both play the second position, and neither are Americans!Under their leadership, it was the first time in many years that they reached the semi-finals.Moreover, in the elective prediction list, An Luo is fourth and Buddy Hield is fifth.The difference in rankings is probably because An Luo is younger!

The direct dialogue between these two players with the strongest offense in the NCAA this season has surpassed the outcome of the game between UCLA and the University of Oklahoma in many people's minds.Of course, fans of the two teams certainly don't think so.They are greedy, and in the team and personal PK, they all want to win by themselves.

However, these two people probably want to help the team win!Especially Hilde, who is a senior, and he will never have another chance in his life if he does not win the championship!

As soon as the whistle blows, the game begins.

UCLA's first offense was bad.Holiday has sharp eyes and saw the big black guy Tony Parker who was emptied on the baseline while walking. He wanted to make an alley-oop with him, but the big black guy didn't catch it well. Go in, rebounded by Oklahoma's Gumney McNeesay.

Looking back, Hilde faced An Luo's defense and blew the horn of the war with a three-pointer.

Buddy Hield, who made a three-pointer, pointed to An Luo, and then made a 1 gesture.An Luo understood that this guy had sex with him.He is already 22 years old, how can he be so childish!

Let's see how I will pay you back later!

After halftime, An Luo asked Holiday for the ball.Others have clearly provoked him, and he must respond.

The two are about the same size, in their early 1.9 meters, but they have long wingspans.It stands to reason that Hilde has such a defensive talent and should have caused great pressure on An Luo.But An Luo didn't feel it.He used his shoulders to push Hilde away, and then squeezed from the opponent's right side, one step closer to the three-point line, and then directly hit a jumper, returning a three-pointer to the University of Oklahoma.

In the next 8 minutes, the offensive efficiency of both sides was very high!You come and go, stalemate, and the scores have always been evenly matched.

After the official timeout ended, UCLA took the lead in finding the defensive rhythm they are proud of.They suddenly increased their defensive intensity, which made the University of Oklahoma players very at a loss.In as long as 5 minutes, Oklahoma was scoreless.And because of their frequent mistakes, gave UCLA a chance to fight back.

During this period, UCLA's offensive efficiency was very high.An Luo, Alex and Joc Goloman all scored goals, especially An Luo, who made two consecutive goals against Buddy Hield, one three-pointer and one mid-range.

In this wave of UCLA offensive, the score became 28:18, and Oklahoma fell behind to double digits.

In the end, Gumney McNeesay, who was inside, helped his team break the scoring drought.After getting rid of Tony Parker's entanglement, he grabbed the offensive rebound, then forced a layup, hit the rebound, and caused the black big man to foul.

Although he didn't make a free throw, it also helped Oklahoma end this embarrassing cold period.

But that didn't help Oklahoma turn things around.Unlike UCLA's full efforts, the University of Oklahoma seems to rely too much on Hield's outside projection.But throughout the first half, Buddy Hield's performance was mediocre. He seemed to have lost his shooting sight while being taken care of by UCLA. He only made 5 of 1 outside shots and contributed 2 turnovers.His poor performance was a microcosm of the Oklahoma team's struggles late in the first half.

UCLA came prepared, and they had more blooming points in the first half, and they led their opponents by as much as 14 points at the end of the half.

This was barely maintained when another player, Jordan Wood, broke out.Relying on his frequent attacks on the inside and succeeding, the game was not completely overwhelmed.

Hilde is still worse than An Luo.For a player who takes three-pointers as an important means of scoring, explosive power is a must, but stability is the most critical.

An Luo is not worried about this problem.Not only does he have a very strong ability to score explosively, but he is also very stable.No matter how bad it is, the hit rate will not be lower than 40%. This is his confidence.

With a 14-point lead, everyone in UCLA can take a good rest for 10 minutes.Alford was still expressionless, and An Luo had never seen him reveal any relaxed and happy expression during the game.

Buddy Hield on the other side of the field is having a tough time!At this time, he was drooping his head, listening to the coach's reprimand.His performance was terrible!The two heroes that the audience wanted to see had become An Luo's standout, and he and his team became stepping stones for others.

In fact, apart from An Luo and Hield, UCLA is weaker than Oklahoma.But Alford arranged for Holiday and An Luo to double-team from beginning to end, which made him very uncomfortable.To make matters worse, other people in Oklahoma did not stand up, or if they did, they were not able to withstand UCLA's strong offense.

Despite Buddy Hield's poor performance in the first half and Oklahoma being on the back foot, the 14-point deficit wasn't enough to break them down.As a strong team, they are capable of recovering the score.After all, they had done the same thing in previous games.
