Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

After Anderson scored a layup from an air cut, Powell also hit a mid-range jumper. However, UCLA was still at a disadvantage inside.

Latvis and Parker were completely at a disadvantage against the combination of Johnson + Randall. Even on the offensive end, Parker was clearly higher than Randall, but he was still beaten to death.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound, and Parker's shot missed.

Parker cursed dejectedly, with a look of helplessness on his face. He didn't suffer a disadvantage in terms of height against Randall, but he suffered a huge disadvantage in terms of physical fitness and athletic ability.

Whether it's strength, speed, jumping and explosiveness, the two are not on the same level.

Even if it is a one-on-one situation in the low post, it is difficult for Parker to single out Randall. On the contrary, when Randall gets the ball and singles him out, he can only call on his teammates to help defend.

Especially when Randall rushed up, Parker couldn't stop him at all. Even if Latvis was on defense, he couldn't stop him.

"Go."

After guarding the ball, Randall got the rebound by himself and did not pass it to his teammates. Instead, he pushed for a counterattack. After reaching the frontcourt, he hugged the ball and went straight to the basket. He jumped up towards Latvis, and the two In the mid-air collision, Latvis was knocked away and could only watch Randall score.

This is talent.

In terms of talent, except for Zhuang Yu, UCLA's other four starters, including Anderson, have no advantage at all compared to the opponent.

"Randall is too strong."

"Yeah, no one at UCLa can match up with him. Once he is given a chance to go one-on-one, Parker can't guard him at all. What's more, Randall is not the kind of guy who only knows how to post up in the low post or receive passes from his teammates. He is a great power forward. He can hold the ball and attack. Once he rushes, Parker can't stop him at all. Even my players who are behind me can't stop him. He will either foul or watch others score."

"In terms of absolute talent, the University of Kentucky is better..."

In the auditorium, fans were discussing.

The first half lasted for six minutes. It can be said that the University of Kentucky became more and more courageous. Although UCLa had Zhuang Yu, Anderson and Powell also scored successively, it was still not as good as the University of Kentucky.

For a time, the score difference between the two sides widened again.

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Holland called a timeout.

He also felt a little helpless in his heart. The more this kind of competition comes, the more talent will be tested.

This is somewhat similar to the NBA. In the NBA regular season, you can see some teams that lack stars and talent. With their excellent tactical system and tacit cooperation, they can still achieve good results and even enter the playoffs.

But when it comes to the playoffs, against teams with outstanding talent, it will be difficult for these teams without talent to play.

After all, the playoffs are a best-of-seven game. You are studying your opponent, and your opponent is also studying you. Later, everyone has studied each other almost, and the tactics have been figured out by the opponent. If you want to rely on tactics It is difficult to win by relying on the tacit understanding of the players.

At this time, especially when entering the critical moment of the game, you still have to rely on the stars and absolute talent.

Compared with the NBA, the NCAA is slightly different. After all, the NCAA is not a best-of-seven system.

But your opponents will also study you, your tactics, playing style, players' habits, etc...

When it comes to the field, when the competition is intense enough, there will be problems with your tactical coordination. Without absolute talent, sometimes you just can't win.

This is why Coach Calipari likes to "stack talent."

After several players came off the court, Coach Holland began to make substitutions, taking out Powell, Anderson, and Latvis and replacing them with substitute players.

Zhuang Yu and Parker are still on the court, because UCLa is still 7 points behind at this time, and the opponent will definitely make substitutions, and the restrictions on Zhuang Yu will be reduced, so Holland hopes that Zhuang Yu can play for two more minutes to try to win. The score difference narrows a bit.

......

Sure enough, when the timeout ended, both sides changed players.

The University of Kentucky also replaced Randall, Johnson, and Harris, replacing backup center Willie Cauley-Stein, forward Alex Poyceres, and another forward Carlos -Frere.

Despite replacing three substitute players, the University of Kentucky did not decrease in average height and still maintained a considerable height.

The game continues...

UCL replaced Lamb, Adams, and LaVine.

At this time, Adams plays the No. 1 position and is responsible for organizing the offense. Zhuang Yu plays the No. 3 position. He no longer organizes the offense, but focuses on scoring.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Adams immediately passed the ball to Zhuang Yu, and then pulled him away. Zhuang Yu took a look at the opponent's defense, called a pick-and-roll, and got rid of Harrison.

The opponent's defensive player pounced on him, and center Cauley-Stein came up with a delay. Zhuang Yu lowered his center of gravity, shook his shoulders, and tried to change direction to break through. Cauley-Stein subconsciously stopped.

However, Zhuang Yu didn't really break through and just went straight for it.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

"nice shot."

"It's so beautiful. Zhuang Yu is still stable."

"Come on Zhuang Yu!"

In the audience, UCLA fans cheered loudly.

Tang Wan also cheered Zhuang Yu loudly at the top of her voice. An Xin and Li Huilan were a little reserved at first, but when they saw the fans in the audience, both male and female, shouting at the court without any image or baggage, they also let go opened.

This goal was scored and the score difference became 5 points.

......

Kentucky fights back.

After several passes, it was given to Cauley-Stein. The sophomore Cauley-Stein is 213cm tall and has excellent physical fitness. He was also selected to the Southwest Division All-Rookie Team last season. He is also very talented. players.

After getting the ball, he played a post-up single. His technique was not exquisite and a bit rough, but his victory was due to his outstanding physical talent. He forced Lamb away and then hit the board.

Ucla attack.

When Zhuang Yu came to the frontcourt, Adams passed the ball and Zhuang Yu broke through.

Cauley-Stein's delay was very fast this time, but Zhuang Yu did not shoot this time. Instead, he broke through directly and entered the three-second zone, forcing the opponent to shrink the defense, and then passed the ball outside, giving it to LaVine. , LaVine catches the ball and shoots.

boom!

But didn't make it.

......

Although the University of Kentucky has changed to a rotation lineup, the height is still there, and the talent of the substitute players cannot be ignored, which makes UCLa very uncomfortable.

Whether it was LaVine, Adams, or Lamb, their performance was not very good.

First, Lamb was singled out by Cauley-Stein, then LaVine made a shot, and then Adams' pass was almost intercepted by the opponent...

"Unfortunately, just a little bit." Carlos Freire almost succeeded in stealing the ball, which was a bit regretful.

Adams was startled and quickly passed the ball to Zhuang Yu.

However, there was not much time to attack at this time. Zhuang Yu had no time to waste after getting the ball. He just broke through and hit the basket.

There wasn't enough time to attack this time, so he didn't have any more options. He played extremely resolutely. After entering the three-second zone, he didn't care about Cauley-Stein in front and jumped up directly.

"Asshole, do you think I don't exist?"

Cauley-Stein growled and jumped up. He waved his arms and slapped Zhuang Yu across the face...
