Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Although Luke's dribbling skills were very good and Zhuang Yu could not easily grab the basketball, Luke was very depressed at the moment. He tried twice in a row and failed to get rid of Zhuang Yu.

But not being intercepted by Zhuang Yu is obviously not what Luke wants to pursue. What he wants is to get rid of Zhuang Yu, pass Zhuang Yu, and then complete a beautiful attack.

However it failed.

"Damn it, why can't you deceive this guy with fake moves?" Luke was confused. The redirection misdirection and scissor steps that had been tried so many times in the past were all ineffective now.

Why is this happening?

Seeing that Luke couldn't get away from Zhuang Yu, and UCL's Anderson also began to move closer to Luke, with the tendency of flanking Luke, Rhodes frowned and shouted to Luke: "Luke, pass the ball quickly."

Luke had no choice but to pass the ball.

After getting the ball, Rhodes glanced at the position of his teammates and found that their chances were not very good, and Powell in front of him had already posted up.

Rhodes thought about it and decided to play alone.

In fact, the reason why he stayed on the court was to score. The coach asked him to seize the opportunity when Muhammad was absent and UCLa changed into a rotation lineup to overtake the score.

Immediately, Rhodes slapped the ball on the ground, and then suddenly dribbled the ball from his hips, and then raised his center of gravity, making it difficult for Powell to judge for a moment whether he was going to break through or shoot... right there. After hesitating for a moment, Rhodes quickly changed direction again, and his speed exploded.

He was very fast, and by the time Powell reacted, he was already half a beat too slow, and was overtaken by Rhodes for most of his body.

Taking another step forward, completely leaving Powell behind, Rhodes jumped up.

Here, UCLa center Latvis also provoked, raised his big palm-like hand high, and slapped the basketball in Rhodes' hand.

However, the fan was in vain.

Rhodes suddenly retracted the basketball he raised in the air, drew in his abdomen and bent his knees, made a pull rod in the air, avoided Latvis' block, and then scored with a basket.

"There's...something about this guy," Anderson whispered.

Zhuang Yu couldn't help but squint his eyes. The physical fitness of NCAA players is indeed much better than that of domestic players.

He has never played in Cuba, but he has watched Cuba's games online. The pace, intensity of the game, and the physical fitness of the players are very different.

In the NCAA, there are many people who can do the aerial pull-up like Rhodes just now.

But in China and in Cuba, there are not many people who can play like this in actual combat - even if some people can do it, the degree of completion is a problem, and the hit rate is not high.

Of course, the gap isn't just about physical fitness.

There are also technical and basic skills.

For example, when many players face the situation that Rhodes faced just now, the first choice may be to distribute the ball, and the second choice may be to increase the arc and speed up the shot to avoid blocking the shot, instead of using the pull rod. Layup.

The score became 15:13.

Ucla had the ball, Zhuang Yu took the ball from the baseline, and then rushed forward like lightning, so fast that the East Carolina University players could not react.

"So fast."

"Quickly retreat..."

On the sidelines, several players on the East Carolina University bench shouted loudly to remind their teammates on the court.

Luke and others reacted, but it was a little too late to set up a defensive line in a hurry. Zhuang Yu had already reached outside the three-point line. He suddenly stopped and raised the ball.

"Not good." Luke rushed forward subconsciously.

But Zhuang Yu didn't take action. He made a cross pass and passed it to Anderson. Anderson took the ball and took two steps forward, attacking the basket, attracting the defense and then passing the ball to Parker who followed. Parker caught the ball and made a layup. scored.

The score is 17:13.

"nice shot."

"Well done Parker."

In the auditorium, UCLA fans cheered.

Tong Qian was also cheering, but it was a pity that the ball was not Zhuang Yu's assist or direct score.

......

ucla bench.

Assistant Coach Wesley nodded secretly. He turned to look at Coach Holland next to him. When he saw a smile on Coach Holland's lips and looking at Zhuang Yu, he knew that Coach Holland was interested in Zhuang Yu's two goals. Very satisfied with the performance.

Some fans may only see Anderson's assist and Parker's layup, but Assistant Coach Wesley and Coach Holland understand that the main reason they were able to score so easily was because they caught East Carolina University off guard, and Zhuang Yu's Speed ​​is the key.

But just a few dozen seconds later, Rhodes scored again, and it was a three-pointer, rewriting the score to 17:16, and the difference between the two sides was only 1 point.

"The guard at East Carolina University is very strong. He seems to have scored 11 points."

"Well, the score has reached double figures. He is currently the highest scorer in the game."

"This guy has a lot of scoring methods. He can break out and shoot. He is really troublesome. I feel like Powell can't guard him..."

In the auditorium, fans were talking.

Coach Holland on the sidelines frowned slightly. He was satisfied with the team's offense, but was not satisfied with Powell's defense.

Let Rhodes score too many points.

Another minute passed before Roode singled Powell again.

Although he failed to make a shot this time, it caused Powell's foul. Rhodes went to the free throw line and made one of two free throws. He had already scored 12 points.

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Holland called a timeout with a straight face.

During this period, his arrangement worked. Under the pressing and pressing defense of UCL, East Carolina University's team offensive efficiency dropped significantly, but Rhodes' personal offense supported East Carolina University's success. Score.

So much so that at this point in the game, UCLA not only failed to open up the score, but was even tied by the opponent.

Several players came off the field.

Seeing that Coach Holland's face was not very good, several people's hearts trembled, especially Powell, who only dared to lower his head, like an ostrich.

"Powell out, Adams in."

Coach Holland did not rebuke Powell, but when he read Powell's name, his tone became obviously more serious, "And Latvis, Parker, you two also come down to rest. Lamb, David, you two come on."

After the substitution, Coach Holland looked at Zhuang Yu and Anderson and smiled: "You two performed well."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Then, Coach Holland spread out the tactical board: "I'm not sure if the opponent will continue to play Rhodes later. After all, this is only the preseason. If Rhodes continues to play later, Zhuang, you go to guard him, your The defense is very good, guard Rod well and don't let him score easily."

Zhuang Yu was slightly shocked and replied: "Yes."

After that, coach Holland made some arrangements for the tactics...

......

Soon, the pause ends.

Players from both sides returned to the field, but Rhodes was still there.

This is actually not surprising, after all, it is only a preseason game.

If it is the regular season, the competition will be more intense. In order to ensure Rhodes' physical fitness, it is time to change and rest.

But this is a preseason game, the intensity of the game is not that high, and the consumption is not that high. The key is that winning or losing in the preseason is not that important. Even if Rhodes consumes more physical energy and his condition is affected in the second half, it actually doesn't matter much.

Another point is that Rhodes is in very good shape now, but if the team cannot develop team tactics, it depends on Rhodes.

However, in addition to Rhodes, defender Luke and center Hank were all replaced.

It's like Rhodes is the main player and has four substitutes.

......

Ucla's possession of the ball.

The five players on the field at this time were Lamb, David, Anderson, Adams, Zhuang Yu, and several freshman players, except Muhammad.

Obviously, coach Holland did not take this game too seriously. He mainly focused on practicing tactics, cultivating tacit understanding, and observing new players.

Zhuang Yu still played the No. 1 position. After getting the ball in the backcourt, he quickly advanced, came to the frontcourt, took a look at the defensive situation, and gestured to his teammates.

Several people started running, Lamb mentioned the pick-and-roll, Zhuang Yu moved to the left, and then immediately passed the ball to Anderson, and he also started running...

One reason why Zhuang Yu can quickly integrate into UCLa's system is his super adaptability, and the other reason is that he has played in the MANK system for a year.

When I came to UCL, Zhuang Yu discovered that the playing style of UCL was different from that of many domestic teams.

The Bruins require every player to move on the court. If any player stands still for more than three seconds, the coach will yell at him.

Moreover, UCLA's tactical system and the MANK system have one thing in common, that is, players do not have to play according to fixed tactics.

Of course you have to use tactics, but you have to judge the opponent's defense first.

After the defender arrives in the frontcourt, the first thing he does is not break through or pass the ball, because he can take his time in 35 seconds.

So what’s the first thing to do?

It’s about observing the defensive formation.

And adopt appropriate tactics according to the opponent's defensive formation.

For example, at this moment, Zhuang Yu came to the frontcourt to observe the opponent's defensive formation, and then made a gesture to tell his teammates what tactics to use, and their teammates moved quickly.

Of course, the game changes and so does defense.

Some domestic teams are not doing very well in this regard. The tactics are too rigid. The coach asks them to play the bull's horns. When they get on the field, the players don't care what the opponent's defensive formation is and whether they are suitable for the bull's horns. Anyway, they will run a bull's-horns tactic first.

Does this work?

No.

And once there is no opportunity to run around, the players don't know what to do.

Moreover, after running down a meaningless tactic, there is not much left in the 24 seconds of attack time. If you want to reorganize, the time is too hasty, so what should you do?

It can only be given to a player with strong ability, and then it becomes a one-on-two, or even one-on-three fight; or it can be passed a few more times, and finally with the last two or three seconds of the 24 seconds, choose You can imagine the effect of forcing a shot against the defense.

Tactics, what are tactics?

Zhuang Yu remembers coming to UCL. On the first day when the coach explained the tactical system, he told them that useful tactics are tactics, and useless tactics are just running around.

So what are useful tactics?

It's very simple. If it suits the situation on the field and the opponent's defensive strategy, and the players can execute it, this is a tactic!

Of course, even if these three points are met, there will be no problem in tactical execution. Whether or not the team can score in the end is still related to the player's ability.

But anyone who has studied statistics knows that when the tactics are reasonable and well executed, the final success rate is definitely higher than playing blindly.

ps: I originally planned to write three chapters for this game, but it turned out that I couldn’t finish it, which was embarrassing.
