Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

on the field.

The game started. On UCLA's side were Latvis, Parker, Anderson, Powell, and Zhuang Yu.

First there was a jump ball, and UCLA got the ball. Zhuang Yu advanced to the frontcourt unhurriedly, glanced at the opponent's defense, and then gestured to his teammates.

This is just a preseason game, mainly for training, so Zhuang Yu still plays according to the tactics step by step. He first calls a pick-and-roll, then breaks through, passes the ball to Anderson, and then walks to the right corner. At the same time, Powell cuts through and Anderson distributes the ball. Give it to him. Powell gets the ball and goes straight to the layup.

This is one of UCLA's current tactics. Zhuang Yu makes a sudden score, then circles inside and walks outside the three-point line. Anderson can pass to Zhuang Yu.

At the same time, Powell cuts, and Anderson can also pass to Powell.

If Powell has a chance, he will attack by himself. If there is no chance, he will pass it to Zhuang Yu, and then walk to the other side of the three-point line to pull people away. As mentioned before, Latvis, who was on the pick-and-roll, cuts inside at this time. Zhuang Yu can shoot it himself or give it to Latvis.

2:0, UCLA won first.

In the next few rounds, the two sides went back and forth, and the fighting was not too intense. After all, it was just a preseason game. UCLA was for training, and the same was true for the opponent.

Two consecutive sudden points + passes and cuts, Powell scored a layup, and Zhuang Yu hit a three-pointer from the outside. The opponent quickly reacted and began to consciously defend against this tactic.

But UCLA didn't just have this tactic, it soon changed to another one...

The first quarter lasted for more than six minutes, and the score was 13:8. UCLA led its opponent Indiana University by 5 points.

"Requesting a substitution."

At this time, Coach Holland made a substitution, replacing Powell and Zhuang Yu with Adams and LaVine. In the past few minutes, the main lineup was practicing tactics. Now it is time to let the substitute players come up and change to the rotation lineup. It worked.

At this time, Adams was playing No. 1 and LaVine was playing No. 2. Adams brought the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Anderson. He ran quickly and pulled the ball away. Anderson broke through and passed the ball to Parker, who pulled the ball away. Wen moved quickly, shook off the defender and cut in the air. Parker's eyes lit up and he hit the ground and passed the ball.

I saw LaVine grabbing the basketball and making a one-handed dunk.

"nice shot."

"That dunk is awesome!"

There was a cheer in the audience.

This dunk was indeed very beautiful, Zhuang Yu couldn't help but applaud, and coach Holland also showed a satisfied expression.

In the following rounds, LaVine and Adams performed well. Adams has good scoring ability, as does LaVine. The two supported the back line.

As for Anderson, Parker and Latvis, the three of them didn't take much action. As the main players, there is no need to compete with substitute players for the right to take action in games like preseason games.

The score difference between the two sides widened, and Indiana University requested a timeout.

At this time, Coach Holland made another substitution, replacing Latvis, Parker, and Anderson, and replaced them with Lamb, David, and Portis.

At this time, all five people on the field are substitute players, and they are competing with each other. They all want to perform well. Fortunately, they will get more opportunities in the regular season.

Therefore, several players are more active on the court, whether offensive or defensive, than the previous main lineup.

The same is true for the other party.

For a time, the confrontation in the game became intense, and the defense also improved to a higher level...

"Pick and roll."

Adams called a pick-and-roll, then broke through and plunged into the opponent's circle. He frowned secretly. He wanted to pass the ball out but couldn't, so he had to force the shot.

boom!

There was a muffled sound and the ball failed to score.

However, at this moment, a figure rushed into the paint and pushed the ball into the basket over the heads of a group of Indiana University players.

"Wow..."

The audience was in an uproar. People's eyes widened and they felt shocked.

This is a beautiful tip-in, and the key is that it comes from a defender like LaVine, not an inside player.

"This bounce is really amazing." Zhuang Yu admired.

Little Brown next to him was a little sour. LaVine was already shocking everyone, but he was still sitting on the sidelines waiting.

Sensing Little Brown's expression, Zhuang Yu smiled and said, "Get ready, it should be your turn soon."

Little Brown's eyes lit up and he suddenly became excited.

Sure enough, coach Holland soon made another substitution, replacing Brown, Robin, and Taylor. Among the rookies, only Conard was not on the team.

In the past three months, several rookies have been trying to integrate into the team, and the coaching staff has been observing them. In the end, they came to the conclusion that LaVine has the best talent and is the most worthy of training. Robin, Brown Jr., and Taylor are also the three. It works, but not Conard.

Therefore, Conard can basically only serve as a water cooler keeper this season, just waiting to see if there will be improvement next season, and maybe he can enter the rotation by then.

This is actually quite normal.

After all, there are 15 players in an NCAA team, and the regular rotation only has about or players. There are always one or two who can only sit on the sidelines.

How else did the term "water fountain keeper" come about?

Today's game is just a pre-season game, the purpose is to train the troops, and also to test a few rookie players.

So Coach Holland didn't care much about winning or losing, and directly sent four rookies, with only Adams remaining on the court. He intends to let Adams serve as the team's "sixth man", so he plans to give him more playing time.

After Brown came on the court, he took up the position of No. 1 and was responsible for advancing with the ball. After arriving in the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Adams, and Adams launched the attack from this point.

However, the tactics of this lineup are not fixed. Some simple tactics can be used, such as "UCLACut", "triangle-like tactics", "double cover", "pick-and-roll cut", etc...

......

"Tactics No. 3." Adams held the ball and gestured.

Suddenly, several players ran quickly. Lamb mentioned the pick-and-roll and made a "pick-and-roll cut", but he was unsuccessful.

boom!

With a muffled sound, UCLA made a shot and the opponent got the rebound. Just as he was about to counterattack, a figure swooped out and cut the ball off.

It was Little Brown.

His height is a disadvantage, but he is fast, can dribble well, and is very flexible. At this time, he successfully completed the steal, then grabbed the ball, took a step forward, and scored a layup.

"Good shot." Zhuang Yu praised.

Little Brown grinned at Zhuang Yu, showing his white teeth, and shouted, Boss, I didn't let you down.

Zhuang Yu chuckled and pointed towards the backcourt: "Quickly retreat."

In the next few minutes, UCLA still played very well. Although they fielded a pure substitute lineup, including a few rookies, the opponent also fielded a similar lineup.

Among them, Adams' performance was quite satisfactory, LaVine's performance was very good, especially the two dunks were amazing, Brown Jr.'s performance was also pretty good, Robin and Tyron were a little worse, and they were obviously not in game shape yet. There was clearly some tension on the court.

......

In a blink of an eye, there were only three minutes left in the first half.

Coach Holland made another substitution, replacing Zhuang Yu and Anderson with Lamb, David, and Little Brown.

During the game, coach Holland is constantly adjusting the lineup. He needs to find a good lineup combination.

There is nothing wrong with the starting lineup, but the rotation needs to be carefully considered.

Sometimes, starting players such as Zhuang Yu and Anderson are also required to play with substitute players, so the combination with whom must be carefully verified.
