Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

When the USC players tightened their defense, Zhuang Yu accurately captured the opportunity. He grabbed the basketball with his right hand and flicked it hard in the air.

The basketball drew an arc and flew beyond the three-point line in the left corner.

"what?"

"No, bottom corner..."

The USC players were shocked. Zhuang Yu's pass was too sudden and too fast. It was a one-handed pass. They couldn't react at all.

By the time someone pounces on the bottom corner, it's too late.

I saw Drew II arriving outside the three-point line in the bottom corner at some point. After receiving Zhuang Yu's pass, he jumped up and flicked his wrist.

Swish!

Three-pointer hit, score 3:0.

"nice shot."

"It was a nice throw."

"Zhuang's pass was also very beautiful. It looked like a casual throw, but it was accurately passed to Drew II's hands..."

The home fans cheered and cheered loudly.

Drew II turned around and high-fived Zhuang Yu while running back.

Several USC players frowned slightly, looked at each other, and then started to attack.

The University of Southern California is a team that emphasizes teamwork. They do not have a so-called "ace player" and their offensive tactics do not revolve around one person. Instead, they pay attention to tactical coordination, quick ball transfer, and combination with screens and air cuts. wait.

Moreover, their final endpoint is often not fixed.

There are many changes in their tactics. Who will have the ball in the end and who will finish it depends on who is in a better position and who has a better chance.

It has to be said that it is not luck that USC can achieve the third place in the regular season. Although there are no star players, several players cooperate very well. The ball is passed very quickly, and the players are constantly interspersing, running, and cutting. ...

Coach Holland's defensive strategy at UCL is to defend the ball carrier, because you can't tell who the opponent will play.

But there is also a problem, that is, the speed of human movement can never keep up with the speed of basketball flight.

Therefore, after USC passed the ball several times, UCLA's defense still had loopholes. It was unable to keep up with the transfer speed of the ball in time, allowing USC to find an opportunity. Finally, defender Dylan made a layup with an air cut.

The score is 3:2.

In the next round, Zhuang Yu still used himself to attract the defense, and then created opportunities for his teammates. The ball was given to Parker, who hit the board.

In the next few rounds, both sides went back and forth, and their respective scores increased, but UCLa was still in the lead.

On the sidelines, Coach Klieman frowned and said to himself: "Although Zhuang did not score, he has sent out two assists, and he used himself to attract defenses and created many opportunities for others. Moreover, others also grabbed Seized the opportunity.”

This was not the effect Coach Klieman wanted. They had no problem with Zhuang Yu's defense. Zhuang Yu did not score, but other UCL players stepped up to score. They actually played "more flowers", so the score went to Southern California. Universities will fall behind.

At the same time, Coach Holland was frowning.

"There is no problem offensively, everyone is playing well, but defensively we still allow the opponent to score too many points." Coach Holland thought to himself, "But the opponent does not have an ace player, and we cannot target any of the opponent's players. Players. It seems that we still have to find a way to disrupt the opponent's tactical coordination."

If the opponent has an ace player, he can also ask Zhuang Yu, the "defensive leader", to defend the opponent, thereby limiting the opponent's offense.

But not USC.

However, it is not impossible to do anything. The opponent has no offensive strong points, but it can still play an excellent offense. It depends on tactical cooperation and the tacit understanding between the players. If you want to limit the opponent's offense, you naturally have to start from this aspect.

......

A few minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the score became 13:11, with UCLa leading by 2 points.

It seems that UCLA is only leading by 2 points, but you must know that Zhuang Yu has not scored yet. He only took one shot at this time, a three-pointer at the buzzer, but failed to hit it.

What if Zhuang Yu starts scoring?

"ball."

Zhuang Yu ran back, asking for the ball from his teammates, and then called a pick-and-roll. Sharp quickly pushed forward, trying to bypass the pick-and-roll and continue to pursue Zhuang Yu. At the same time, USC center Wright also quickly stepped up and blocked Zhuang Yu.

The next moment, Zhuang Yu broke through and rushed towards Wright. Wright quickly retreated, but several USC players hesitated. They thought Zhuang Yu was breaking through again.

Once they shrink their defense, Zhuang Yu will pass the ball outside.

Just such a hesitation gave Zhuang Yu a chance. He quickly changed direction and passed Wright, then jumped up, glided forward, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and made an underhand layup. Wright, who was behind, wanted to catch up with Risk, but ultimately failed to do so.

The ball scored, 15:11.

"Request a timeout!"

Seeing Zhuang Yu score, Coach Kliman's heart skipped a beat and he immediately called a timeout.

In the auditorium, fans cheered and gathered together in twos and threes to discuss.

"This ball is so beautiful, Zhuang finally scored."

"In those few minutes, it was obvious that Zhuang didn't want to score, not that he couldn't score. Didn't USC call a timeout immediately? Because once Zhuang started to score, the point difference would widen."

"Yes, have you noticed? It seems that the starting players cooperated very well today, and their scoring was very reasonable..."

A group of home fans were very happy because it was obvious that UCLA had the upper hand and the players played very well today.

Not only Zhuang Yu, but Drew II, Powell, Parker, and Latvis all played very well, and the cooperation between them was also very smooth.

Even fans can feel this.

Klieman, who is the head coach of the University of Southern California, naturally feels it too.

After several players came to him, Coach Klieman first changed, replacing defender Reed and replacing substitute defender Conard, and then said: "We need to improve our defense and not let the opponent score easily. Wait a moment We must pay attention to defending other UCL players and cutting off the connection between Zhuang and them."

At this time, a player asked: "What if the banker plays by himself?"

Coach Kleiman replied: "Be on guard against his three-pointers. Wright, please be careful not to step forward too much when delaying, lest he pass you by in one step."

"Yes." Wright responded.

In fact, it is better to defend Zhuang Yu from the outside and shoot a three-pointer, forcing him to break through, and then try to have the center to cover the defense and use height to restrict him.

As for the effect, Coach Klieman was not sure.

......

Here at UCL.

Coach Holland spread out the tactical board and said: "There is no problem on offense, but Zhuang Yu, you can do more personal offense later, and the opponent will definitely change their defensive strategy."

"The main thing is defense."

"The opponent does not have an offensive core. We just defended the opponent's ball carrier. This is no problem, but we did not do enough."

"We have to try our best to disrupt the opponent's tactical coordination, delay the opponent's passing, make the opponent's tactics lag, and cause coordination problems... As long as there are problems with the opponent's coordination, the offensive efficiency will definitely decrease. "

......

After some arrangements, the pause ended.

Players from both sides return to the field.

UCL also made a change, Drew II was replaced and replaced by Anderson.

As soon as USC came here, they felt the defensive changes of UCL. Everyone in UCL pounced very fiercely, waving their arms constantly to interfere with their passing.

When the pass was delayed, USC's offense was inevitably affected, and this offense failed to score.

Ucla counterattacked with a rebound.

At this time, Zhuang Yu returned to the No. 1 position. When he came to the frontcourt, the defender pounced on him. He was no longer Sharp, but became Conard.

After all, if this lineup is still Sharp's defense against Zhuang Yu, then who will be against Anderson?

Both Dylan and Conard are at a disadvantage against Anderson's height.

Seeing that Conard was guarding him, Zhuang Yu immediately signaled his teammates to pull away. Zhuang Yu did suffer a lot in the physical confrontation against small forward Sharp, but not against Conard.

Zhuang Yu first dribbled the ball from his hip, trying to break through to the left, and then suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back and switched the ball to his right hand. Fearing Zhuang Yu's three-pointer, Conard defended very forward, which also made it difficult for him to adjust his steps at this time.

After dribbling from behind, Zhuang Yu passed Conard by half his body. Conard could only shout to his teammates: "Take up the defense."

Wright stepped forward, raising his arms high, but did not dare to pounce too far forward. Zhuang Yu was too fast, and he would be passed by if he pounced too far forward.

Seeing that Wright was still a little far away, Zhuang Yu chuckled, and instead of rushing to the basket, he jumped up and took a pull-up jump shot.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

"Shet." Wright cursed depressedly.

Coach Klieman frowned, feeling a little helpless. There was nothing wrong with his response, but Zhuang Yu had too many scoring methods.

When a player can shoot three-pointers, has mid-range, can break through, and has excellent passing ability, then you have no other choice but to double-team him.

But in the past few minutes, UCLa's Powell, Parker, and Latvis played so well that Coach Klieman did not dare to double-team Zhuang Yu.

Once Zhuang Yu is double-teamed, several other players will be given opportunities.

......

Another three minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

In these three minutes, UCL's Parker, Powell and others scored less points, but Zhuang Yu turned on the "scoring mode" and scored consecutive points, making USC's defense useless.

At the same time, on the defensive end, UCLA's defense also made it difficult for USC, and their tactical execution stagnated.

Although he can still score points, his offensive efficiency has dropped a lot.

For a time, the point difference between the two sides further widened, with UCL leading by 8 points.

"Requesting a substitution."

With a smile on his face, Coach Holland replaced Zhuang Yu, Latvis, and Parker, and replaced them with Drew II, Lamb, and David.

"Hey, UCLa is indeed much better than in the regular season." Coach Klieman sighed, and soon replaced the main players with a rotating lineup.

Originally, Coach Kliman hoped that the rotating lineup might gain the upper hand. After all, UCLA's bench lineup during the regular season included Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu was still the "sixth man" at that time. Now, UCLA's bench lineup does not include Zhuang Yu.

The result made him depressed. Although Zhuang Yu was not in UCL's rotation, there was Anderson.

Of course, Anderson is still not as good as Zhuang Yu, which doesn't give UCLa much of an advantage, but it doesn't suffer at all...
