super heavy artillery

Chapter 61

Four days of rest flew by.

On November 11, UCLA played against the Pepperdine University Waves at home.

This is their only game of the week, which may also be a reason why Alford chose to change the team's starting lineup at this time.Once a problem is discovered, he still has enough time to adjust.There will be no such good opportunities in the future.Next week, from November 11th to 24th, UCLA will welcome three consecutive teams from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Kansas and Wake Forest.Except for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, the other two teams are not weak.Even the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, started the season with two consecutive victories.

These well-known Christian universities are not strong, and they are just used to hone the lineup.

The entry of NCAA players is still not as good as that of the NBA. DJ briefly introduced the players, and then began to warm up.But that doesn't mean the atmosphere at the scene is bad.On the contrary, these UCLA fans who had been waiting for four days could no longer hold back the excitement in their hearts.Days without games are less fun.

In DJ's introduction, the audience has already discovered the change of the team's starting lineup.

Center: No. 40 Thomas Welsh;
Power Forward: No. 0 Alex Olesinski;

Small Forward: No. 14 Jock Goloman;

Shooting guard: No. 10 Isaac Smith;
Point guard: No. 3 Aaron Holiday.

But after two games, these freshman players have been recognized by UCLA people.So there is nothing unacceptable to everyone. Of course, for those who have a good relationship between Kenner and Loya, this is not good news.But that is a minority after all.

As for Pepperdine, there aren't any notable players.Of course, to An Luo, these foreigners are all the same.

An Luo sat on the bench, he was helpless, and he didn't know how long he would sit here.Not far from him, Kenna Okrawabi and Loya Allen were more depressed than him. They fell out of the starting lineup, as if they had returned to the previous season.

The whistle sounded and the game officially started.

UCLA, which sits at home, has become more active, especially Holiday and Alex, two first-time starters, are even more eye-catching.

The first ball was owned by Pepperdine, but they missed it.Alex took off the rebound over the opposing center's head, and Thomas, he's still behind someone else's ass!Holiday took the ball to the frontcourt, used his speed to easily get rid of the defender, and then under the cover of Alex, he made a layup.

2:0
UCLA took first blood.

Looking back, Pepperdine's small forward also used the cover of his teammates to enter the inside line, and as a result, he really ate a big hat from Alex.

"Hey man, this is UCLA. Not LAX."

The taunt must be done in time. Only one block and one shot can be considered a perfect defense.

The basketball was picked up by Thomas, who was following up, and hugged him in his arms.Finally played some role.

The ball was naturally handed over to Holiday, which was strictly required by Alford.People are still watching from the sidelines!
Holiday advanced with the ball and quickly entered the penalty area.However, the opponent's inside defense is very tight, and his chances are not good, so he can only distribute the ball to Isaac, who is in a better position.The latter hits mid-range, which is something he is good at.

4:0
Looking back, Pepperdine's center finally overpowered Thomas and scored their first goal of the night.

Alford seemed very dissatisfied with him, and yelled loudly on the sidelines: "Thomas, haven't you eaten? You have been squeezed to Hawaii!"

Next, the two sides fought back and forth. UCLA led Pepperdine by 7 points at 20:16 seven minutes into the first half.

According to the usual practice, Alford will start to make substitutions at this time.But An Luo has nothing to do, he always goes up in the last two or three minutes.

He sat on the bench, watching the game intently.In fact, the game was not very intense, but watching the game on the spot will add a lot to the visual experience of the audience. UCLA's strength is obviously stronger, but the tacit understanding between players is still not enough, causing many opportunities to be missed.

"Ann! Go warm up."

Suddenly, a slightly blunt voice reached An Luo's ears.He stood up immediately, then turned his head to look at Alford.

"I need you to shoot a few three-pointers, can you do it?"

Look at the words!Shoot some threes!It seems to have the same meaning as "pour me a glass of water".But he likes it!

"Of course! No problem." An Luo nodded.

"Good boy!" Alford seemed to have plans.He turned his head to look at the bench and said, "Tony, Price, you two also go to prepare."

An Luo was delighted when he heard it, this arrangement is interesting!If you don't even practice, you can beat and run away.

Sure enough, Alford called a timeout.He said very seriously to the five of them: "You know how to fight, Aaron, everything starts with you; Ann, Alex, ends with you. Tony, Prince, you have to provide them enough Help, rebounds, screens and scoring. Got it all? Just remember, run! Keep running! Don't let me see you walking on the court! GOGOGO..."

"Guys, it's time for a hearty show! Yay~"

"GOGOGO..."

Pepperdine's players saw that UCLA began to replace the bench, and they were all a little glad that they could finally have a soft persimmon.But who would have thought that the next ten minutes or so would be so difficult.

As soon as he came up, An Luo made a super long three-pointer.At a 45-degree angle, at the limit of his range, he strikes with precision.

Pepperdine's defenders never imagined that An Luo would be so confident that he would shoot the ball as soon as he caught it.He only took An Luo half a step, and he was still outside the three-point line.Unexpectedly, it was this half step that started An Luo's wonderful performance.

The defensive end did not cause too much trouble for Pepperdine, especially An Luo, the opponent's offensive player easily broke through him.He didn't keep up, and kept swimming near the three-point line.

How can this kind of person let him play?
There are quite a few people who have such thoughts.They can tolerate the poor ability of their team's players, but they must not tolerate bad attitudes.But soon, this idea was thrown out of the sky by them.

"Bang!"

This is the sound of a basketball hitting the rim. It happened during the opponent's offensive round, and An Luo thought it was particularly pleasant.

At the same time, he is like a cheetah, running towards his own half.If it weren't for the basketball flying over from behind, it would definitely be perfectly cut into a comedy movie.

Holiday followed closely, but he stopped at midfield.Because the ball has flown to the basket.And the person who threw it out is already running back.
