Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

The pause ends.

Players from both sides came back, the score was 29:20, UCLA led by 9 points, and the first half was already halfway through.

After this timeout, both sides conducted personnel rotations. UCLA replaced power forward David, small forward Muhammad, and guard Adams.

The University of Colorado also replaced Hughes and Hart, replacing Jeremy and point guard Kessler. At this time, their lineup on the field became the two main players of Hughes and Hart with three substitutes. players.

Hart got the ball in the backcourt, advanced to the frontcourt and looked at Hughes.

Sure enough, it was not Muhammad who guarded Hughes, but Zhuang Yu. Muhammad was facing off against small forward Blake, and Adams was in front of Hart.

"As expected..." Hart frowned slightly, and just as he was hesitating, he saw Hughes running back and asking for the ball.

Already 9 points behind at this time, with only one goal left to reach double digits, so Hughes, as the core player of the team, must step up and score this goal.

Scoring this goal can stabilize the morale of the army.

Hart distributed the ball and passed it to Hughes. After receiving the ball, Hughes turned slightly sideways and raised the ball to avoid being cut off by Zhuang Yu. He first shook his shoulders and made a confusing movement, but Zhuang Yu remained unmoved. Then Hughes suddenly bent his knees, aimed at the basket, and looked like he was about to make a move.

However, Zhuang Yu still didn't move.

"How did he see through my fake moves?" Hughes felt depressed in his heart. He finally gave up - it was impossible to deceive Zhuang Yu with fake moves.

"Pick and roll."

However, Hughes did not give up the offense. He winked at his teammates, and the center came up to pick and roll. Hughes immediately moved, and after the pick and roll, a defense switch was formed, and it became Lamb to guard him.

Hughes immediately changed direction and accelerated, but Lamb's lateral speed was still a little slow and failed to block it, allowing Hughes to pass by.

These are not things that happen during the game, but they will affect the game invisibly, and they are also areas that team leaders need to pay attention to.

......

UCLA offense.

After Hart reached the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Zhuang Yu, preparing to play a "UCLACut", but he did not succeed. Afterwards, he passed the ball several times and gave it to Muhammad.

At this time, in the UCLA lineup, Coach Holland has made it clear that Zhuang Yu is the defensive leader, and the offense is left to his teammates, mainly Muhammad.

I saw Muhammad taking the ball and hitting Hughes alone.

At this time, it was not Hughes who was guarding Muhammad, but substitute small forward Blake. Zhuang Yu was ambushing outside the three-point line in the left corner. Hughes stood in front of him and did not dare to take it lightly - after all, Zhuang Yu had already made the shot. He didn't dare let go of three three-pointers.

Although Zhuang Yu hardly participated in the offense at this time, he had played very well before and still contained the defense well.

An accurate three-point shooter plays a great role on the court, especially under FIBA ​​rules, as it can open up space for teammates.

Swish!

"Damn it."

Hughes was annoyed, passed the ball to Blake, and then ran by himself, asking his teammates to cover him, still trying to get rid of Zhuang Yu.

Yet it failed.

Zhuang Yu was too fast and his judgment was too accurate. When Hughes received the ball, Zhuang Yu had already pounced on him. Although it was difficult to block Hughes, it was enough to cause interference.

boom!

There was a muffled sound and Hughes struck.

UCLA got the rebound and quickly launched a counterattack. Hart reached the frontcourt and passed to Muhammad. Muhammad broke through and was blocked by the opponent. Zhuang Yu had an opportunity outside the three-point line at a 30-degree angle on the right side, but Muhammad did not pass the ball and chose to do it himself.

The ball didn't go in, but the referee blew the whistle and gave a defensive foul.

"This ball should be passed."

"That's right, Zhuang Yu shot so well before, making 4 out of 4 shots. His hand felt hot. He also had a chance just now. He should be given a three-pointer."

"Muhammad clearly believed in himself more..."

The home fans whispered.

Assistant Coach Wesley looked at Coach Holland and found that Coach Holland had a helpless expression, so he couldn't say anything.

After all, although the goal was not scored, it caused a foul on the opponent, and the result was not bad.

It's just that Muhammad stepped to the free throw line and only made one of the two free throws. Fortunately, he made the first one, otherwise according to NCAA rules (the NCAA's free throws are 1+1 rules, the first one who scores will be two free throws, and the first one who doesn't) If it goes in, the second free throw will be automatically canceled) and the foul will be in vain.

This free throw was made, and the point difference between the two sides came to 10 points.

In the next two rounds, Zhuang Yu, the "defensive leader", made it difficult for Hughes. He defended so well that Hughes could not find a good shot.

What's a little pity is that UCLA also made continuous efforts and failed to further widen the point difference, which was still 10 points.

"Requesting a substitution."

At this time, the University of Colorado made substitutions, replacing Jeremy, White, and Sweat, and returned to the main lineup.

UCLA also made a substitution.

Zhuang Yu and Lamb were replaced and replaced by Powell and Latvis.

When Zhuang Yu was replaced, the fans in the audience applauded and gave their warmest applause to Zhuang Yu, because Zhuang Yu's performance was obvious to all.
