Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

The second half started quickly.

When the players from both sides came back, Coach Jones clapped his hands and said: "Let's play well later. Just do as I said, guard against the banker and let Muhammad play. Don't be afraid, it doesn't matter even if you let Muhammad score some points."

During halftime, the OSU coaching staff studied the first half of the game and believed that Zhuang Yu might start in the second half.

After all, UCLA adjusted its starting lineup in the first half, so it doesn't seem surprising that it didn't follow the same rules as before in the second half.

Mainly because Zhuang Yu played so well in the first half.

As for Muhammad…

Coach Jones believes that he will come back. As the core player of the team, he is not injured or anything. He may not be in good condition, but he is also the core of the team if he is not in good condition. It’s fine if he doesn’t start in the first half and he won’t start in the second half. ?

If Mohammed is not allowed to start in the second half, it can only be said that coach Holland does not want to use him in the second half at all.

Because as long as you still want to use him in the second half and he is the core of the team, then you should give some face in the second half and let Mohammed start.

There is no mention of letting a core player of the team come on the bench in the first half and then in the second half. Isn’t that nonsense?

Based on this, Coach Jones made some special arrangements.

The first thing is to guard against Zhuang Yu, because his performance was so outstanding. Zhuang Yu had already scored 15 points in the first half.

Secondly, let Muhammad play in singles.

Judging from previous UCLA games, although Muhammad can score, his efficiency is not high. Most of them are individual singles. As long as the defense exerts enough pressure on him, his shooting percentage will drop below the average level.

Just like the previous UCLA games, Muhammad scored high points, but the team lost the game.

So it's not scary to let Muhammad score points.

Comparing the two, Coach Jones would rather score points for Muhammad than let Zhuang Yu score more!

"what?"

However, when he saw several UCLA players on the field, Coach Jones was dumbfounded. You Hollander really planned not to use Muhammad in the second half!

Latvis, Parker, Powell, Zhuang Yu, Drew II, these are UCLA's starting five in the second half, which is different from the first half.

This time Anderson did not start, but Zhuang Yu.

It is equivalent to a "three-back" lineup. This is the first time in UCLA's game this season.

Not only was Coach Jones surprised, but the home fans were also surprised.

Instead of playing Muhammad, he still has a "three defenders". Coach Holland is completely letting himself go and not playing according to the routine, right?

......

The second half begins.

The fight between the players on both sides continued, and assistant coach Wesley came to coach Holland on the sidelines and whispered: "Isn't it too risky to play three defenders?"

This is the first time after all.

Coach Holland did not shy away and nodded: "It's a bit risky, but Zhuang Yu's height is not a disadvantage compared to the opponent's small forward Lawson, but he used to rotate in the 1st and 2nd positions and did not play. It may be a little uncomfortable to play as a swingman."

Assistant Wesley smiled bitterly, "So you are still like this?"

This is actually an attempt by Coach Holland.

In the first half, he started Anderson and found that the effect was pretty good. Anderson's performance made him shine, and he felt that Anderson could actually be the starting small forward. However, he preferred Anderson to play the "sixth man". He did not let Anderson start in the second half because he wanted to let him play the "sixth man" later.

He took another look at the situation on the court and saw that the game was developing smoothly. Coach Holland signaled to Assistant Coach Wesley, and the two of them moved to the side, a little further away from the bench. Then he lowered his voice and said, "I'm right." Muhammad is completely disappointed."

Ok?

What do you mean?

Assistant Coach Wesley raised his eyebrows.

"He will never have the chance to start again." Coach Holland said solemnly: "I decided to change the starting lineup."

Hearing this, Coach Wesley's eyes lit up. He had long thought that it was time to adjust the starting lineup.

Just listen to coach Holland continue: "Yesterday, Muhammad's absence from training made me determined, so I started Anderson in the first half and found that the effect was pretty good. Although Anderson's scoring ability is not as good as Muhammad, he has comprehensive skills and excellent awareness. With his height and long arms, he is actually fully qualified for the starting small forward position."

"But if he is allowed to serve as the starting small forward and combine with Drew II, Powell, Parker, and Latvis, then the bench lineup will be another problem."

Assistant Wesley nodded to express his understanding.

If Anderson is allowed to start and Zhuang Yu still plays the "sixth man", then both Zhuang Yu and Muhammad will be in the substitute lineup, which will only become more incompatible.

Assistant Wesley asked tentatively: "What if Zhuang Yu is allowed to start and Anderson continues as a substitute?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly came to his senses and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the field - isn't this the situation on the field at the moment?

"Haha..." Coach Holland smiled slightly, "I have thought about it too, but if Zhuang Yu is to start and Anderson is the substitute, what about the 'sixth man' position? Muhammad has no problem scoring, but organizing Series connection doesn’t work.”

"I also thought about simply letting Anderson and Zhuang Yu start, and Muhammad and Drew II come on the bench. This seems to be possible."

"It seems a little inappropriate to just adjust two starters to substitutes, two substitutes, or freshman players to starters all at once."

As he said that, Coach Holland paused.

He turned his head and glanced at Muhammad on the bench, then withdrew his gaze, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and said: "In the end, Muhammad dared to threaten me and refused to play in the second half. Oh, this way I don't have to worry about it, since he doesn't want to play. , then don’t fight.”

Bang...

Listening, Assistant Coach Wesley couldn't help but feel his heart pounding, and looked at Coach Holland in shock. What does "if you don't want to play, don't play" mean? Does it mean don't play this game, or don't play in the future?

Coach Holland did not explain this and continued the previous topic: "How about letting Zhuang Yu start and play a three-guard together with Powell and Drew II? Although Zhuang Yu played the No. 1 position before, he was opposite The small forward actually doesn't suffer, first of all defensively, he is the best defensive player on our team."

"Secondly, he has a height of 196 centimeters. He is not at a disadvantage when facing the opponent's small forward on the offensive end. Moreover, he is very fast and can shoot three-pointers, so he is no problem one-on-one."

"So, it seems good to let Zhuang Yu become a swingman. His main task is to score, and sometimes he can also organize connections."

Just as he was talking, a "swish" sound came from the stadium.

The audience suddenly burst into loud cheers, causing Coach Holland and Assistant Coach Wesley to look over, only to see Zhuang Yu with one hand raised, his wrist drooping, standing on the three-point line, obviously he had just made a shot. Score a three-pointer.
