Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

One day later, UCLA ushered in the second game of the regular season.

Because there are many teams in the Pac-2 Conference, and there are knockout rounds after the regular season, a team has to play at least more than 3 games on average, so the schedule is quite tight, with - games a week. .

In other words, on average, we play every other day, or every two days.

This time UCLA's opponent is Stanford University.

Similar to the NBA, the NCAA regular season is also home and away, but the two teams do not compete continuously. There will be an interval in between, and there will also be an interval between home and away games.

For example, the last game was UCLA's home game, and this game became an away game.

Of course, there are also times when there are consecutive home games and consecutive away games.

The UCLA Bruins rushed to the away game early, and after repairing, they ushered in the match against Stanford University.

......

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the game officially started.

Stanford University is a school that focuses on academic performance and is not outstanding in sports. Their basketball team has an interesting name, called the Cardinals. Although his name is very domineering, his strength can only be regarded as mid-to-lower.

There is a big gap in strength between the two sides. UCLA had the upper hand from the beginning of the game. Muhammad played very aggressively. In just a few minutes of the first half, he had already made 6 of 4 shots and scored 8 points.

Soon, UCLA replaced Zhuang Yu.

"Zhuang, you replace Drew II and play the No. 1 position." Coach Holland ordered. The opponent did not have any star players, so Zhuang Yu was not needed to be a "defensive leader." He also wanted to try to let Zhuang Yu Play the No. 1 position and try to get in touch with Muhammad as much as possible.

"Yes." Zhuang Yu responded.

However, Coach Holland soon became disillusioned.

At the beginning, Zhuang Yu played very decisively, organizing the offense after arriving in the frontcourt, and also gave the ball to Muhammad, using Muhammad as the core of the tactics.

But when Zhuang Yu had a chance, Muhammad always seemed to be unable to see him. Only Zhuang Yu fed him the ball, but Muhammad did not pass the ball to Zhuang Yu.

After doing it once, twice and three times, Zhuang Yu also became popular.

Mader, you are not such a bully. I don’t argue with you. I should feed you the ball or I should feed you the ball. I even follow the coach’s instructions and use you as the core of the tactics. But you use me as air. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?

In the following rounds, Zhuang Yu was no longer used to Muhammad.

Now Zhuang Yu can be regarded as the sixth man of the team, and his status is not lost to the main players. Why should you bully him like this?

When Muhammad asked for the ball, Zhuang Yu simply ignored it, then broke through to score the ball. Taking advantage of the defender's attention on Muhammad, he jumped inside and then made a hidden underarm pass to pull the ball from the opponent's center. Tevez, assisted Latvis to score.

The goal was scored, and it was justified, and Mohamed could only shut up.

Not only this, but Zhuang Yu will no longer feed Muhammad the ball later. He will pass it to others, and Muhammad can only get the ball from other people.

This is obviously not a good phenomenon for the team.

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Holland called a timeout with a dark face, and then replaced both Zhuang Yu and Muhammad, or even replaced them at all.

However, coach Holland did not blame Zhuang Yu. The more he looked at Zhuang Yu, the more he liked him, and it was clearly Muhammad who started the trouble. If you criticize Zhuang Yu, it is obviously wrong. But it's inappropriate to criticize Mohammed. After all, he is the core of the team.

They simply didn’t say anything, but they were all captured.

"Hey..." Coach Holland smiled bitterly. After the players took the field, he summoned the assistant coaches and asked: "What should we do now? It seems that Zhuang and Muhammad really can't integrate together."

"It's such a pity." Assistant Coach Hayes said with regret, "Why don't we have a good talk with the two of them. If the two of them can become harmonious, that would be the best."

Assistant coach Wesley smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid this is difficult. In fact, the main thing is Muhammad. I think Zhuang still has an overall view of the situation. He is willing to put aside the unpleasantness with Muhammad for the benefit of the team, but it is obvious that Muhammad is not willing."

Everyone was speechless, because this was a fact and they saw it.

At this time, Coach Holland even had some regrets in his heart. He regretted being too good to Muhammad. Because Muhammad was the number one high school student in the United States and many schools were rushing to recruit him, so Coach Holland joined the team without letting him try out. With full scholarship, promised main position.

Even before the new season has begun, he has established Mohammed's core position in the team and formulated tactics specifically around him.

This turned Muhammad into a special being and spoiled him rotten.

"No." Coach Holland sighed: "Even if the two of them seem to be in harmony on the surface, they will pass the ball to each other on the court, but can they really produce a chemical reaction?"

"The answer is no!"

The three assistant teachers looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

This is indeed the case.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in basketball teams. There are many similar things in the NBA. Two players look like each other but don't like each other. Although they follow the qualities of professional players and can play well on the court, without chemical reaction, the effect will be greatly reduced. .

"Hey..." Coach Holland sighed again and said, "Let's use them separately as much as possible. This is the only way."

......

In the following time, coach Holland consciously used Zhuang Yu and Muhammad separately, trying not to let them play together.

Muhammad looked pleased with himself.

In several warm-up matches, plus the last match, Zhuang Yu's performance became more and more outstanding, which made Muhammad fearful of him.

This result at this time was actually intentional by Muhammad. Anyway, he is the main force and the core of the team. If the two play separately, Zhuang Yu's playing time will definitely be compressed.

......

"drop......"

When the game ended, UCLA defeated Stanford University 72:61.

Muhammad scored 17 points, plus 5 rebounds, and 2 assists, while Zhuang Yu only scored 10 points, plus 4 rebounds, and 4 assists this time.

But just two days later, UCLA ushered in its third regular season game. The opponent was the University of Oregon, and Zhuang Yu once again performed wonderfully in limited time.

Zhuang Yu played 18 minutes in this game, which was not a lot, but he contributed 16 points, including 5 of 3 three-pointers, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds.

Scored 18 points in 16 minutes, amazingly efficient!

Although Muhammad scored 18 points, his playing time was only 28 minutes (although coach Holland used the two separately, it is obviously impossible to completely separate them, there is still overlap). Compared with Zhuang Yu, who is more efficient? It’s clear who is higher and who is lower.

After three games, Zhuang Yu averaged 13.7 points, 6.3 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game. For a freshman and a substitute player, he is already very good.

Zhuang Yu even made it onto the Pac-12 League's "Best Sixth Man" list and directly entered the top three.

In fact, with Zhuang Yu's data, he is already a strong contender for the "Best Sixth Man". However, the regular season has just begun, and he is still a freshman, so he is only ranked in the "Best Sixth Man". "People" ranked third on the list.

......

In the next two games, UCLA's opponents were not very strong.

Zhuang Yu's playing time in these two games was less than 20 minutes. His playing time was indeed compressed a bit, but he still delivered an excellent answer, contributing 9 points, 6 assists, 5 baskets, and 3 steals in one game. ; Scored 12 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds in one game.

Although the data has dropped slightly compared to the first three games, it is still very good. It can be said that Zhuang Yu has firmly established himself as the "sixth man".

UCLA also successfully won these two games and achieved five consecutive regular season victories. It looks like the situation is great.

At this time, UCLA ushered in a strong enemy-the University of Arizona.

......

UCLA.

Today is UCLA's home game against the University of Arizona. It is also a focus game because both teams are strong.

The University of Arizona is a strong team, and its overall strength is not weaker than UCLA. Some players on the team are considered to have a chance to enter the NBA.

For example, the team's small forward Solomon Hill is 198cm tall and weighs 100kg. He is a senior. In last season, the 11-12 season, he was selected to the Pac-12 All-Pro First Team.

It is said that Solomon Hill will participate in the NBA draft after this season and is predicted to be selected at the end of the first round. The future is still very promising.

There is also Grant Jarrett, who plays power forward.

This is a freshman, but he was highly regarded just after entering the University of Arizona. He is 208cm tall and weighs 105kg. He has a very good height and weight. He is an excellent rebounder and is very good at rebounding.

In addition, he also has a good three-point shooting. He is a big player who can not only grab rebounds but also open up space.

It is said that Jarrett also hopes to enter the NBA. As for when he will participate in the draft and with which pick he will be selected, it is difficult to predict.

There is also the team's main guard Nick Johnson, who is also considered to be capable of playing in the NBA. He is a sophomore who entered the University of Arizona in 11 and was successfully selected to the Pac-11 League's All-Rookie Team in the 12-12 season. .

These three are all considered to be able to enter the NBA. As for other players, even if they are not as talented or strong as them, they are not weak...

There is no doubt that the University of Arizona is strong, very strong!

Some people even believe that the University of Arizona will be the most favorable contender for the Pac-12 Conference championship this season, and even hopes to make a difference in "March Madness". I dare not say that it can win the championship, but it can reach the top . The chances are great.

Such a team, in the eyes of many people, is actually stronger than UCLA.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, players from both sides had arrived.

It was the University of Arizona players warming up. Small forward Solomon Hill had his hands hanging from the frame and had just performed an explosive dunk.

Immediately afterwards, someone grabbed the ball and picked it up, wreaking havoc on the basket, and slamming dunks sounded one after another, as if they were demonstrating against UCLA.

But this is UCLA’s home court!

For a moment, the home fans gave up and the audience burst into loud boos...
