Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Snapped!

beep!

Fighter, the referee whistle blows.

Jim stomped his feet depressedly. He wanted to block the shot, but Zhuang Yu changed hands in the air. Instead of being able to block the shot, Jim hit Zhuang Yu's hand.

Moreover, the goal was scored.

"pretty."

"What a 2+1."

A group of UCLA players cheered loudly, and some UCLA fans in the audience also excitedly shouted Zhuang Yu's name and cheered for Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu stood on the free throw line and made the extra free throw steadily.

But he turned around and the University of Oregon scored one.

I have to say that it is no accident that the University of Oregon is ranked second in the standings. They are very strong.

When the strategy was changed, it was no longer what it was before, and their second-place strength in the standings was also brought into play. On the offensive end, they had Wood as a strong point. Parker was somewhat unable to match up. Wood has outside shooting and low-post footwork. Parker It's hard to guard him.

Moreover, several other players at the University of Oregon are not weak either.

Once UCLA double-teams Wood, there will definitely be gaps in the defense of several other University of Oregon players, and they can always score the ball.

Fortunately, UCLa's offense is also good. Zhuang Yu can't match Zhuang Yu. Jim can't guard Zhuang Yu.

And besides Zhuang Yu, Anderson also played very well.

For a while, the two sides came and went, and time passed quickly.

"Requesting a timeout."

Oregon called another timeout.

After a few minutes, they only reduced the score by 2 points, which made Coach Monk very dissatisfied. He began to make substitutions and replaced the other two main players.

......

Here at UCL.

"Substitution." Coach Holland also made a substitution, replacing the main players, and then spread out the tactical board and said: "Now we are in the lead and the opponent is chasing points. How can we make it difficult for the opponent to catch up with the score? In addition to our offense In addition to fighting well, you must also defend well.”

"This is critical."

"If the defense is not good and the opponent's offense goes smoothly, or even a shock wave occurs, the ten points difference may be overtaken in an instant." He paused and emphasized: "Remember, we must Defend well and don’t let the opponent score continuously.”

Listen, Zhuang Yu is convinced.

If you only score goals intermittently, it will be very slow to catch up with the points. Maybe you just scored one but didn't score the next one, but someone else did.

When is the fastest time to chase points?

That is naturally when you score consecutively, such as scoring several goals in a row, hitting a wave of 6:0, 8:0... Then the ten-point difference is gone in the blink of an eye.

Coach Holland just wants the University of Oregon to chase points intermittently and not give them the opportunity to score consecutively.

Firstly, it will not be easy for the opponent to catch up with the score; secondly, it can also kill the opponent's spirit and fighting spirit.

If they cannot catch up with the score for a long time, the University of Oregon players may become impatient and feel discouraged...

After some arrangements, Coach Holland clapped his hands and emphasized again: "Remember, defense, defense, defense!"

"Yes."

Zhuang Yu and others agreed in unison.

......

The game continues.

Oregon offense.

At this time, both sides were in the starting lineup. Walter advanced with the ball. After reaching the frontcourt, he still looked for Wood, gave the ball to Wood, and launched the attack from this point.

Wood got the ball in the high post, first made a fake shot, and then lowered his center of gravity to break through. Ucla reacted immediately, quickly shrinking the defense line and surrounding Wood.

"Humph."

Wood snorted and passed the ball out to the three-point line.

However, before taking action, UCLA's defense had already arrived. The two sides were almost close to each other, a direct pressing defense.

On the sidelines, Coach Monk frowned. UCLA had obviously strengthened its defense, and its defensive intensity had gone up to a higher level than before.

After several passes, it was finally given to Wood. Wood took a tentative step after receiving the ball, and then directly pulled up, with a little backwards.

Swish!

The ball was scored and the score difference was 8 points.

Ucla fights back.

Drew II came to the frontcourt and called a pick-and-roll, and then passed the ball to Latvis, who passed it hand-to-hand to Zhuang Yu.

Jim on the opposite side quickly bypassed Latvis and returned to Zhuang Yu.

After taking a look at the defensive situation, Zhuang Yu gestured for his teammates to pull away. He then singled out Jim, first dribbling the ball from his hips, then suddenly accelerating and breaking through to the left.

"Left." Jim moved quickly.

But at this moment, Zhuang Yu dribbled the ball behind his back, switched the ball to his right hand, and moved his body to the right, instead breaking through from the right.

Jim secretly yelled that Zhuang Yu was too fast.

Wood couldn't help but frown when he saw this situation. He immediately took a step forward, ready to defend at any time. Jim also turned around quickly to avoid being passed by Zhuang Yu.

But Zhuang Yu didn't really break through, but took a step back.

Swish!

Hit a step-back jumper and the score difference was 10 points.

"Let this guy score again." Coach Monk frowned, "This Chinese kid is indeed very powerful. It's hard for Jim to guard him one-on-one."

He was thinking about whether to flank Zhuang Yu later. Otherwise, if he scores a goal and Zhuang Yu immediately returns one, how can he still chase points?

But Coach Monk soon discovered that the problem was not just defensive.

When the University of Oregon attacked again, it failed to score. UCLA's defense was very fierce, all pressing defense, which caused a lot of interference to the University of Oregon.

Moreover, although the University of Oregon also scored goals in the following period, they were not able to connect them together and were always intermittent.

Watching the time passing quickly, and the score difference between the two sides always remaining at about ten points, Coach Monk frowned, and he realized the problem.

"The opponent just doesn't want us to score consecutive goals. Even if it's a foul, it will interrupt the continuity of our offense to prevent us from chasing points." Coach Monk frowned. He picked up the tactical board and started writing on it. ...

......

Soon, the first half was over.

At this time, the score was 38:29, and UCLA still led by 9 points.

In the first 11 minutes of the first half, UCLA's offensive efficiency was very high. In the next 9 minutes, the defensive intensity increased and the offensive efficiency dropped.

Fortunately, it is not only UCLA's offensive efficiency that has declined, but the University of Oregon's offensive efficiency is not very high either. The scores are scattered and there is no continuity.

During halftime, the University of Oregon players returned to the locker room.

A group of players gathered around Coach Monk. Coach Monk was holding a tactical board in his hand, with a somewhat solemn expression on his face, and said, "Let me double-team the banker later. We must strengthen our defense in the second half. Can't they defend? So can we."

He tapped on the tactical board: "Defend, protect the backcourt rebounds, and then quickly launch a counterattack. We need to counterattack quickly so that we can catch up with the score as quickly as possible and then take the lead. Do you understand?" "

"Yes."

"clear."

A group of players responded in unison.
