super heavy artillery

Chapter 98
An Luo's outstanding performance made another Chinese who was struggling in Los Angeles very excited.

This person is the reporter of Basketball Weekly, Lin Xi.

The report he wrote about An Luo a few days ago has been published in China. According to the feedback from the market survey, the response from readers is very good.

In the past two years, Chinese basketball has been at a low ebb, and everyone desperately hopes that there will be another "Yao Ming"-style player who can enter the NBA.After all, there have been no Chinese in that place for several years.

In this case, people have extended their vision to the American College League.In recent years, many talented teenagers have been sent to the NCAA to play, but there are almost no ones who can really make a name for themselves or perform as expected.This disappointed everyone.

Now, An Luo, who was not particularly optimistic about them, suddenly made a big splash in the top NCAA league like Pacific Ten.It was so overjoyed and exciting.It is conceivable that when the report of this game comes out, it will cause such a big response.So Lin Xi felt that the interview about An Luo should be done quickly.Because soon, everyone will pay attention to An Luo, and he must complete this matter before other media.

On the second day, An Luo and others still spent time in the training hall, because on January 1, they will usher in their next opponent, another team from Arizona.Arizona State University Sun Devils from Phoenix.Compared with the University of Arizona Wildcats in Arizona, the Sun Devils look mediocre.

Although both belong to the Pac-12, the Sun Devils are at the same level as the Washington State University that UCLA has played against before, and they have never even played a good season.You know, the last time they won in "March Madness" dates back to 2009, when the team leader was James Harden, who was the 2009 Pac-[-] Player of the Year.

For UCLA, there is no pressure in this game.After all, whether it is strength or venue, they have the absolute upper hand.

Alford did not underestimate his opponent because of this, he still studied his opponent very seriously, and then made targeted training arrangements.He is now focusing on the national championship, so he will spend a lot of time thinking about all possible disadvantages, and then combine the characteristics of these players himself to find a solution to the problem.He'll even use the game as an opportunity to experiment with his ideas.Although they are all carried out without affecting the outcome, it often makes fans who don't know what's going on nervous.

For example, the current game should have been won with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, but because Alford himself was too much toss, there were many twists and turns.

At the beginning of the game, UCLA played their signature fast break.

Holiday advanced with the ball, and the Sun Devils' defense was not good. He rushed into the penalty area with an acceleration, and then hit the bar.

However, the opponent is still relatively strong on the offensive end. Their guards and forwards played a perfect match at the top of the arc.An Luo was firmly blocked by the opponent's big man, and the defender with the ball faced Alex, who was coming over from the defense, and decisively raised his hand to push and hit a three-pointer.

3:2, the sun devil responded.

An Luo stared at the guy who shot the three-pointer, very confident.The other party seemed to have sensed An Luo's gaze, turned his head to look at him, then stretched out his finger and pointed at An Luo, making a provocative gesture.

This is where it gets interesting!But when it comes to three-pointers, he has never been afraid of anyone.In terms of three-pointers alone, An Luo is not even afraid of Curry. Their fight at the Oracle Arena was a mixed success.

"Aaron, give me the ball!" As soon as he crossed the halfway line, An Luo waved to Holiday.The latter threw the basketball directly.

An Luo took the ball forward and continued to push forward. One meter beyond the three-point line, he raised his hand and shot.The guy who provoked An Luo had a good three-pointer, but the defense stinks!Now no one dared to take An Luo a big step so casually.

"Shh!"

The basketball hit the bull's-eye, and there was a burst of cheers from the audience.In the current Paley Stadium, as long as An Luo hits a three-pointer, there will be cheers.Everyone likes to watch this guy's three-pointers. The slightly arrogant feeling makes them very enjoyable to watch.

"Damn it, is this being underestimated!" An Luo shook his head and quickly returned to defense.

I thought that the opponent would continue to fight, but I didn't expect them to die down.The Sun Devils' offense played patiently, and they started giving the ball to their own paint.Compared with UCLA, their inside line has a high degree of advantage, and their finishing ability is very strong.

Even so, the gap in strength can still be made up. UCLA's outside offensive firepower was perfectly displayed in a game. A wave of 18:8 opened the point difference to double digits.

Just when everyone thought the game had set the tone, Alford stepped forward.As if he had received money from Arizona State University, he began to adjust his lineup.In fact, he experimented with his own lineup.

In the 8th minute, Alford replaced An Luo and Holiday, allowing Alex to play with the rotation for a few minutes.After the lack of organizational and offensive strengths, especially after the lack of An Luo's containment, the Sun Demon's not strong defense actually played a big role. They used their fierce physical confrontation to force UCLA to appear several times. A few mistakes, successfully close the score.

Finally, Prince and Alex responded in time, and with their sudden inside and outside shots, they finally kept the score at a safe distance.At this time, Alford replaced Prince and replaced Holiday.He transferred Alex back to the basket and played a long-lost offensive position.

This ruined UCLA's big situation.The cooperation between the players is too jerky!Especially Holiday and Alex, who have become accustomed to creating opportunities through running positions and continuous screens, are almost completely out of the system.

If you can't cooperate, you can only fight alone.Holiday singles, and then Alex grabs the rebound and throws it out to continue the singles.

An Luo was sitting on the bench, wondering, wouldn't it be good to win the game easily?Why bother.It's not about the players, they played very well in the first half, they played until the end of the half, and they can almost clock out.

Alford was pretty steady.While watching the game, he talked with his assistant coach, unaffected by the passive situation on the court.
