Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"Damn it, how come the other party knows so much about our tactics? What is the problem in that link?"

Back in the locker room, Coach Holland was still depressed.

This game is not unwinnable, and the opponent is indeed very strong. What makes him depressed is that he lost like this.

If the players don't play well, that's fine; but this is obviously a tactical problem, and then it's his problem as a coach.

"Coach Holland." Assistant Coach Wesley advised: "The game is over. The most important thing now is to prepare for the next game. We must win the last regular season game."

"Yes, we must win." Coach Holland nodded.

They lost to the University of Oregon and failed to reach sixth place, but at least they were still seventh. They couldn't lose the next game against Arizona State University.

If we lose again, we will drop to eighth.

A group of players were silent just now, because Coach Holland was obviously angry, and everyone was not stupid, so naturally they would not get into trouble.

Seeing that Coach Holland had calmed down at this moment, the players spoke one after another: "Coach, don't worry, we will definitely win the next game."

"Yes, I must win the next game."

"Arizona State University is not as strong as us, and they have no hope of entering the knockout round. It doesn't matter whether they win or lose this last game. I believe that as long as we are tougher, it will not be difficult to win the game."

Everyone spoke one after another.

But Muhammad didn't speak, he just curled his lips inconspicuously and showed a sneer. He secretly muttered in his heart: "It's a pity that Arizona State University is too weak, and the final win or loss doesn't mean much to them. , even if you reveal the information to them, there is no point."

He didn't know that his subtle movement was seen by Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu's heart moved. Could this matter be related to Mohammed?

This seems...not impossible.

But he had no evidence and said nothing immediately.

......

One day later, UCLA ushered in its last regular season game.

This was their last regular season game of the season, and it was at home, attracting the attention of many fans and filling the sidelines.

"It's a pity that we lost the last game, otherwise we should have been sixth." Tong Qian also came and was chatting with He Guang and Zhao Yuanyang.

"Yes." He Guang echoed: "I heard that the University of Utah lost yesterday, and like us, the record was 12 wins and 9 losses. If we could beat the University of Oregon in the last game, our UCLA should be 13 wins and 8 at this time. If you lose, you’ll be sixth.”

As he said that, he suddenly changed his tone: "Qianqian, are you free today? I'll treat you to dinner after the game is over."

Zhao Yuanyang glanced at He Guang, and before Tong Qian could speak, he rushed to say: "It's already late when the game ends. We have to rush back to school, so let's not eat." He called Tong Qian to He Guang. Qian "Qian Qian" was disgusted.

Hearing what he said, He Guang's face darkened.

At this time, Tong Qian said at the right time: "Okay, the game is about to start. Let's wait until the game is over to talk about eating and other things."

The two fighting cocks looked at each other unhappily before giving up.

......

On the court, the game has begun.

UCLA's starting lineup is still Latvis, Parker, Zhuang Yu, Powell, and Drew II.

After a period of training and the baptism of several games, the starting lineup has matured a lot and its combat effectiveness has also improved.

From the beginning of the game, Arizona State University focused on guarding Zhuang Yu, and Zhuang Yu was not in a hurry to score, but organized the offense and created opportunities for his teammates.

Several teammates also performed very well and seized their opportunities.

For a time, UCLA played "more flowers". Although Zhuang Yu didn't score much, UCLA clearly had the upper hand in the score.

A few minutes later, Arizona State called a timeout, made some adjustments, and began to strengthen its defense against Drew II, Powell, Parker, and Latvis. As a result, Zhuang Yu turned on the scoring mode again and scored points continuously.

The first half lasted more than six minutes, and UCLA had established a 7-point lead.

Entering the rotation time, Zhuang Yu was replaced, which made Arizona State University breathe a sigh of relief.

But when switched to a rotation lineup, UCLA still had the upper hand. Anderson performed very well, not only with assists and points, but also with excellent defense.

Suddenly, the score difference widened further.

"Well, Anderson is also improving very quickly." Coach Holland nodded happily, with a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with Anderson's performance today.

After a few games, Anderson went from being unfit at the beginning to his outstanding performance now. Although he is a little slower than Zhuang Yu, he is actually very fast.

Now Anderson has the appearance of a "sixth man" on the court. At least he dares to shoulder the responsibility during rotation time, and he plays more proactively and confidently.

......

In a blink of an eye, the first half was over.

When the first half ended, the score was 43:32, and UCLA led its opponent by 11 points.

For Arizona State University, winning or losing this game originally meant little because they were already destined to fail to enter the knockout round.

If they can take the lead in the first half, maybe they will be more serious and try to win the game, which can be a good end to the regular season.

But when they continued to fall behind in the first half and fell behind by 11 points at halftime, Arizona State players lost their fighting spirit.

So the intensity of the game began to decline after entering the second half, and Arizona State University was obviously ready to give up.

Halfway through the second half, Arizona State University simply replaced its main players and replaced them with substitute players.

Seeing that the opponent was like this, and UCLA was already leading by 14 points, coach Holland also made a substitution, replacing Zhuang Yu, Latvis and others.

The game entered garbage time.

Some players who had not had a chance to play before, such as Carl Johnson, Carroll Porter, and John Coster, were sent on.

Only Mohammed is still missing.

"Huh, it's already garbage time. I won't do it even if you fuck me." Mohammed curled his lips and sneered in his heart, "Just wait, you will cry sometimes."

"Beep..."

The whistle sounded at the end of the game, and the score was fixed at 83:74. UCLA defeated Arizona State University by 9 points and won the last regular season victory.

The game was uneventful and not too intense.

Zhuang Yu only played 20 minutes and scored 15 points, plus 4 rebounds, and also sent 8 assists.

安德森拿到17分，外加5篮板，3助攻；德鲁二世7分，2助攻；帕克8分......

After this game, the UCLA Bruins' regular season record reached 13 wins and 9 losses, ranking seventh in the standings.

Although he didn't make it into the top six, Coach Holland was quite satisfied with the result. After all, he made it to the knockout rounds, and he wasn't in last place.
