Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"Is this Chinese boy so popular?"

"Huh, what's the point of shouting loudly? I'll shut you up later."

A group of USC players sneered secretly and stared at Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu is the core of UCLa, and their first task today is to restrain Zhuang Yu. As long as they restrain Zhuang Yu, they will not only silence the fans in the audience, but also put UCLA at a disadvantage and then defeat UCLA.

On UCL's side, a group of players are also sizing up their opponents.

Lamb curled his lips and sneered: "These people probably think we are the same as during the regular season. It's ridiculous."

Anderson squinted his eyes and scanned the opponent's players. Today's opponent was not the University of Oregon, and they were not the same UCL as before.

After a period of running-in, the team's lineup understanding is far from perfect, but it is much more mature than at the end of the regular season.

Moreover, after several regular season games and one knockout game, the players have also improved.

Especially the game that defeated the University of Oregon, the morale of the UCL Bruins was boosted, and the players' confidence also increased.

Now facing the University of Southern California, they are not afraid at all.

"Come on and warm up." Zhuang Yu said.

The players began to warm up.

As the players warmed up, the fans in the audience were whispering and discussing how the game would unfold.

......

After the warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the sidelines.

A group of players from the University of Southern California gathered around head coach Klieman. Coach Klieman spread out his tactical board and said: "The first is defense. We must guard against Zhuang. His three-pointers are very sharp and he also has excellent breakthrough ability. He will definitely Stay close to him and don't let him shoot easily."

"Sharp."

He looked at Sharp, the team's starting small forward, and said: "You will be responsible for guarding him later and giving him a confrontation. His confrontation is a disadvantage."

Sharp nodded: "Yes."

Coach Klieman added: "In addition, we must not relax our defense against other players. This is the knockout round. Please be more aggressive and defend more fiercely."

The players agreed in unison.

"On offense, we have to be patient, use our advantages, pass the ball more, be careful not to make mistakes, and hit the basket more." Klieman drew tactics on the tactical board, "Defense is the foundation, and offense is also very important. It’s important that everyone gets involved…”

at the same time.

On UCL's side, Coach Holland is also making arrangements.

"Everyone is no stranger to the University of Southern California. They are a team team. They do not have particularly strong players, but they are relatively balanced in each position." Coach Holland said: "So on defense, we have to focus on defense. Whoever has the ball, we focus on guarding."

As he spoke, he drew tactics on the tactical board: "We play a 2-3 zone defense, focusing on the ball holder. Where the ball moves, our defense also moves there. We must pay attention to assisting defense and supplementary defense. We must not Make it easy for the opponent to shoot."

"In terms of offense, Zhuang Yu still takes the lead."

"Drew II, when you get to the frontcourt, give the ball to Zhuang Yu and let him launch the attack. But the opponent will definitely focus on guarding him. The rest of you can't wait there. You all run for me, cutting, screening, pick-and-roll. , You must actively look for offensive opportunities. As long as you have a chance, Zhuang Yu's ball will definitely be given to you as soon as possible."

Finally, he looked at Zhuang Yu again: "If you have the opportunity, you must attack resolutely without any burden."

Zhuang Yu nodded and exchanged looks with his teammates.

Coach Holland put away the tactical board: "Let's go!"

......

The game officially begins.

The starting lineup for UCL is Latvis, Parker, Zhuang Yu, Powell, and Drew II.

南加州大学上的也是他们的常规首发，中锋莱特（210cm）、大前锋奥斯汀（208cm）、小前锋夏普（200cm）、得分后卫迪伦（194cm），以及组织后卫里德（191cm）。

It was a jump ball first. Although Latvis was slightly shorter than the opponent, this time he touched the basketball first and shot the ball into the backcourt.

Drew II controlled the basketball and advanced quickly.

Several USC players also retreated quickly, quickly returned to their own half, and set up their defensive formations.

They adopted a defensive strategy of man-to-man + zone defense, using man-to-man against Zhuang Yu. Sharp pounced directly outside the three-point line, right next to Zhuang Yu.

The others positioned themselves in accordance with the zone defense. Defender Reed stood a little inside the left three-point line, staring at Drew II.

Drew II couldn't help but frown when he saw the opponent's formation. He hesitated to give the ball to Zhuang Yu immediately. But before he could hesitate, Zhuang Yu had already accelerated, and then asked Drew II for the ball. Drew II immediately stopped hesitating and passed the ball.

Zhuang Yu caught the ball outside the three-point line, and Sharp quickly followed him, raising one hand and placing the other at his side. He was less than half a meter away from Zhuang Yu, and was waving his arms up and down, constantly disturbing Zhuang Yu. It's very simple, just force Zhuang Yu to pass the ball.

However, Zhuang Yu did not pass the ball. Instead, he shook his shoulder, slapped the ball on the floor, and accelerated to the right.

"right."

Sharp reacted quickly, immediately moved laterally, and at the same time moved his body forward, actively creating physical contact and putting Zhuang Yu in a confrontation.

This is a knockout round, a life and death battle, and both sides will study their opponents.

Coach Klieman has also studied Zhuang Yu. He found that Zhuang Yu has very comprehensive skills, accurate three-pointers, stable mid-range, and very fast. His movement control skills and breakthrough skills are very good, and he also has excellent finishing ability after breakthrough. .

However, confrontation is one of Zhuang Yu's disadvantages.

So he ordered Sharp to provide confrontation to Zhuang Yu. Under strong confrontation, Zhuang Yu would definitely not be that comfortable. He just wanted Zhuang Yu to suffer.

Indeed, when Sharp approached and the two of them physically confronted each other, Zhuang Yu couldn't help but frown, and his movements were affected.

Sharp is two meters tall, has excellent fighting ability, and has long arms. When the two bodies are close to each other, it is difficult for Zhuang Yu to pick up speed.

"Is this trying to target my weakness?" Zhuang Yu immediately realized the opponent's intention and shouted to his teammates, "Pick and roll."

The next moment, Latvis mentioned the pick-and-roll.

In this case, calling a pick-and-roll can give you space to get up to speed, and you can also use your teammates' pick-and-roll to get rid of the defender.

Zhuang Yu accelerated laterally and used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Sharp. However, USC reacted quickly and immediately switched defenses. Center Wright had already pounced on him, raising one hand high to delay Zhuang Yu's attack. Don't let him shoot.

laugh!

Zhuang Yu changed direction and accelerated so fast that Wright couldn't react at all. He was passed by Zhuang Yu in an instant, and he quickly turned around to catch up.

At the same time, USC tightened its defense line and surrounded Zhuang Yu.

And this is exactly the effect Zhuang Yu wants...
