Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound, and Rhodes' shot hit the target again.

Ucla got the rebound and launched a quick counterattack. Finally, the ball was given to Anderson, who scored with a near-frame throw.

"Request a timeout!"

East Carolina called a timeout.

At this time, the point difference between the two sides has been widened, and UCLa leads by 6 points.

From being tied once to now leading by 6 points, it was actually just a moment.

Mainly because of the decline in East Carolina University's offensive efficiency, Rhodes hit hard one after another, and other players were similar, completely suppressed by UCL.

Several players came off the field.

Seeing that Rhodes looked very unhappy, the head coach of East Carolina University comforted him: "It's okay. You have been playing for a long time and your physical fitness has declined. Just come down and rest."

Rhodes responded, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart. He knew that it was not because of his physical decline, but because the Asian boy was too good at guarding against him.

......

Here, the UCLA bench.

A group of players gathered around Coach Holland. Coach Holland looked at Zhuang Yu with a smile and praised: "Zhuang played very well in the past few minutes, especially in defending Rhodes. Powell, learn from Zhuang Yu. hehe......."

At the end of the sentence, Coach Holland laughed out loud.

Hearing the coach mentioning himself, Powell thought he was going to be trained again, but coach Holland laughed out loud, and his tone was very relaxed.

Powell breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You have to learn from Zhuang."

Ha ha......

Everyone laughed.

.......

Soon, the pause ends.

Players from both sides returned to the court and Rhodes was replaced.

There are no substitutions on UCL's side.

In the following period, Zhuang Yu's performance was still very good. He made 2 of 1 shots and scored two points. In addition, he also sent two assists and a steal.

Of course, his performance on the defensive end was still excellent. After Rhodes went down, the opponent replaced the main defender Luke, and Zhuang Yu was responsible for guarding Luke. It also made Luke uncomfortable and successfully restricted Luke's attack. Score.

In the blink of an eye, 15 minutes had passed in the first half. To the fans' surprise, Zhuang Yu still stayed on the court and played for almost 8 minutes.

Anderson, Lamb, and Adams were all replaced one after another two minutes ago.

A substitute played 8 minutes in the first half, even longer than starting guard Drew II...

Of course, this is just preseason.

It was not until 16 minutes after the first half that Zhuang Yu was replaced, not Drew II, but another defender Coster.

"We played for so long in the first half. It seems that the coaching staff values ​​Zhuang Yu very much." He Guang couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right, haven't you heard that Zhuang Yu is the first substitute defender?" Tong Qian raised her chin and said proudly. .

Zhao Yuanyang next to him opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.

In fact, he didn't really believe it at first, because he knew very well that Americans' discrimination against Chinese people was very common in American universities, and it would only be worse on the basketball team.

But after seeing Zhuang Yu's performance in the first half, he felt that he was superficial - he could only say that Zhuang Yu was too good!

Zhuang Yu didn't play again for the next few minutes.

Until the end of the first half, UCLA still led the opponent by 8 points.

After entering the second half, UCLa put on the starting lineup, and the point difference further widened to double digits.

At the sixth and a half minute of the second half, Zhuang Yu was replaced again.

This time Muhammad was also there, but the effect made Coach Holland a little disappointed. There was an obvious lack of chemical reaction between Zhuang Yu and Muhammad.

"It seems it still doesn't work, these two guys..."

Coach Holland is a little depressed.

Mohammed performed very well in today's game, and Zhuang Yu also performed very well, but why can't the two of them work together?

Or is it because the two of them have conflicts?

This may be a reason, but chemical reaction is not something that can be achieved by just picking two people together.

A moment later, coach Holland made a substitution, replacing Mohammed and replacing him with Anderson. The effect was immediate and the situation on the field became better again.

Now Coach Holland is troubled.

If Zhuang Yu and Mohammed cannot be used together, then a choice needs to be made. How to use Zhuang Yu becomes a question...

......

on the field.

Zhuang Yu played more and more smoothly. He completed another steal and quickly launched a counterattack. After reaching the frontcourt, he hit the ground and passed the ball backwards to his teammates who were following. The teammates jumped up and made a powerful move. His hands exploded.

The audience was filled with cheers and cheers.

"This dunk was so explosive that the rim was stretched out of shape."

"Zhuang's pass is also very good. Parker is very comfortable catching the ball. He can dunk it directly after getting the ball..."

Amid cheers, East Carolina University once again requested a timeout, and at this time UCLA already led its opponent by 17 points.

There is indeed a gap in strength between the two sides. It may not be obvious at the beginning, but as the game progresses, some problems will be exposed.

For example, East Carolina University's bench is not deep enough, its offensive methods are single, and it is easy to be targeted on defense, etc...

Once these problems are exposed, the situation will be one-sided.

After this timeout, East Carolina University probably knew that it could not win, so it gradually gave up resistance and began to relax and train.

......

"Beep..."

Before you know it, the game is over.

The final score was 84:66, and UCLA defeated its opponent with an 18-point lead.

Zhuang Yu played nearly 14 minutes in the second half and played more than 20 minutes in the entire game. He played the most minutes among the substitutes.

Of course, Zhuang Yu also performed very well, scoring 14 points, plus 9 assists, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals.

As a substitute player and a freshman, 14 points, 9 assists, a nearly double-double, is absolutely eye-catching.

Even if this is just a preseason game!

"Zhuang Yu is awesome."

"Zhuang Yu, good job."

In the audience, a group of Chinese students were still immersed in excitement and shouted loudly. They were very proud today.

Did you see that our Chinese players are also very good!

Zhuang Yu waved his arms and waved to his compatriots in the auditorium, which caused another burst of cheers from the Chinese students. Tong Qian even had stars in her eyes and was about to fall.

However, it was not Zhuang Yu who scored the most for UCL today, but Mohammed. He scored 20 points, plus 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

The No. 1 high school student in the United States is indeed very strong.

......

After a period of time, UCLA played three more warm-up games, one of which was against East Carolina University. After a 80-minute game, UCLA defeated East Carolina University 65:15 and faced the opponent by points. .

In this game, Mohammed still performed very well, scoring 17 points, plus 8 rebounds, 1 assist, in addition to a steal and a block.

Zhuang Yu came on as a substitute, played 21 minutes, and scored 13 points, plus 10 assists and 3 rebounds. This was no longer a "quasi-double-double", but a real double-double.

This really surprised many people.

You know, the NCAA is different from the NBA. It may not be difficult to score more than 10 points in a game in the NCAA, but it is difficult to get 10 assists at the same time.

Anderson also played very well, scoring 14 points, plus 5 rebounds and 3 assists, 8 of which came from Zhuang Yu's assists. The two complemented each other.

Ucla also won the other two preseason games easily, and the opponent was not strong.

In these two games, Zhuang Yu scored 12 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds in one game; he scored 16 points, 6 assists, and 3 rebounds in one game. His performance was stable and outstanding.

After four preseason games, Zhuang Yu averaged 14.3 points, 8 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game. The data was very good. He ranked third on the team in points and first in assists. He was better than the team's starting guard Drew. The data of the second generation is even better.

Of course, this is just a pre-season game and lacks enough gold content and persuasiveness, so Zhuang Yu is still a substitute.

But there is a difference between a substitute and a substitute.

......

In the UCL arena.

After a training match, the players sweated profusely and came to the sidelines to rest.

"Zhuang." Assistant Wesley waved to Zhuang Yu.

"Coach." Zhuang Yu came to Assistant Coach Wesley.

Assistant coach Wesley patted Zhuang Yu on the arm and said: "You have performed very well in these games, but I think you can do better."

Zhuang Yu's eyes lit up and he listened carefully.

"The first is your defense." Assistant Coach Wesley said: "Your defensive awareness is very good, but you still need to work on some details and defensive skills. For example, when to confront and when not to confront. Also In team defense, how to use your excellent defensive ability to provide defensive assistance to your teammates."

"Secondly, your passing."

"You have big hands and can firmly control the ball with one hand. Then you can be more free when passing the ball."

Assistant coach Wesley said seriously: "I suggest you practice more one-handed passing. You have such physical conditions and excellent passing awareness. There is no need to be like others. Use your advantages and try boldly. I believe the effect will be better if you pass the ball with one hand."

Listening, Zhuang Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Yes, you can control the ball with one hand, so why do you have to pass the ball with both hands?

Some coaches require players to pass the ball with both hands. The main reason is that many players have difficulty controlling the ball with one hand. The pass is not accurate enough and the force and angle cannot be controlled well.

But these are not problems for Zhuang Yu.

The advantage of passing the ball with one hand is that it is very sudden, and the ball is passed suddenly as you move.

There is no movement to combine the ball, and no preparation for passing the ball. It is difficult for the defender to predict, and naturally it is difficult to steal.

What’s more, things are changing rapidly on the court and opportunities are fleeting.

Many times when you see an opportunity, combine the ball, and then pass the ball, the opportunity may have been lost, and it may become a passing error.

At this time, the advantage of passing the ball quickly with one hand becomes apparent. If you can seize the fleeting opportunity and deliver the ball to your teammates in time, you will have a high chance of converting it into a score.

Look at some of the best defenders, who can't pass the ball with one hand?

Of course, passing the ball with one hand is not difficult, everyone can do it, but if you can pass the ball well with one hand, not everyone can do it.

"I suggest you practice more with your left hand." Coach Wesley added.

"Yes." Zhuang Yu promised.

In fact, for many amateur players, dribbling with the left hand is just okay, but passing with the left hand is not possible, let alone accurate.

Even among professional players, excluding those who are left-handed, there are not many people who can pass the ball quickly and accurately with their left hand.

If Zhuang Yu wants to strengthen his one-handed passing, he cannot only rely on his right hand. Passing with his left hand is also very important.

Fortunately, Zhuang Yu has always paid attention to the coordination of his left and right hands. Dribbling, layups, and even throws near the frame are no problem with his left hand, and he has a sufficient hit rate, so passing the ball with his left hand is not that difficult for him. .....
