Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"Shh!"

UCLA scored another goal, from Parker.

Coach Calipari immediately called a timeout. After several players came to the court, he spread out his tactical board and said: "We must strengthen our offense and not let the opponent score easily. We have a height advantage and can switch defenses infinitely. We have an advantage defensively and we must use this advantage.”

"Stop fighting each other."

Hearing "Don't fight with each other", several players looked a little depressed. With their talents, there are still times when they can't beat others.

If it was at the beginning of the first half, they were indeed not afraid of UCLA and would definitely have the upper hand in a head-to-head matchup.

But at this moment, the situation is different.

It can be said that UCLA's morale is high now, everyone is in good condition, not to mention that there is a player like Zhuang Yu who surpasses the University of Kentucky player in terms of talent and strength. UCLA will not lose to the University of Kentucky in a head-to-head match.

Of course, the University of Kentucky is still very strong and has not fallen behind.

It's just that in Coach Calipari's opinion, it makes no sense to continue like this. It's just a waste of time. What he wants is to catch up with the score and overtake the score, not to bite the score.

No matter how wonderful the attack is, how loud the fans cheer, how enjoyable it is to watch, how many points the team scores...

But if others are also scoring points and you are still behind them in terms of score, you will not win the game after all.

"Yes."

"understood."

Several players also knew this and agreed one after another.

......

After a while, the two sides returned to the court.

After returning this time, the University of Kentucky has changed. On the offensive end, they have slowed down and played more patiently. At the same time, on the defensive end, they have further strengthened their defense. They still combine man-to-man and zone defense. Once they need to make up for defense, then Unlimited defense changes.

This move is indeed very powerful, especially when several University of Kentucky players focus on defense, it has a great impact on UCLA's offense.

For a time, the offensive efficiency of both sides declined.

After a while, the University of Kentucky chased the point difference to 4 points. Although it was not achieved overnight and quickly caught up with the score, Coach Calipari felt a lot more at ease.

At this time, less than half of the second half had passed, and both sides began to make substitutions, gradually replacing the rotation lineups and replacing the main players.

"Coach Calipari is still very good, and he adjusted very promptly and did not continue to attack UCLA."

"Well, just play like this. Although it is a bit slow to chase points, there is enough time."

"This is the rhythm that belongs to Kentucky. We have to let the game enter our rhythm and use our talent advantages as much as possible..."

On the edge of the court, several players from the University of Kentucky were discussing.

But Rondo frowned slightly and suddenly said: "Actually, UCLA's talent is not bad either."

Ok?

Several people around him turned their heads to look.

Rondo continued: "Zhuang Yu and Anderson are very talented, and LaVine and Adams among the substitutes are also very talented. This game is not that easy to play, especially Zhuang Yu, who That’s the biggest X factor.”

For a moment, Davis, Cousins ​​and others next to him were silent.

I kind of acquiesced in Rondo's judgment.

Indeed, if they could really defeat UCLA based on talent, the game would not be like this.

The reason why UCLA was able to reverse the situation after Zhuang Yu was injured was not only because UCLA players were inspired to be bloody, but also because the gap in talent and strength between the two sides was not that big.

Maybe, but not particularly big.

What's more, not all UCLA players are less talented than the University of Kentucky. The talents of Zhuang Yu, Anderson, LaVine, and Adams are no worse than those of the University of Kentucky players - especially Zhuang Yu, whose talent and strength are better than those of the University of Kentucky. Above all the players.

It’s not that UCLA doesn’t have talent, it’s just that not all of its members have talent!

......

"Bang!"

There was a bang, and LaVine performed a wonderful two-handed dunk.

After both sides switched to substitute lineups, UCLA still did not fall into a disadvantage. Several players performed well, especially LaVine.

When it comes to competing for talent, LaVine is not afraid of Kentucky players at all.

Not to mention the University of Kentucky's substitute players, even the several starters at the University of Kentucky may not be as good as LaVine in terms of talent and strength.

Everyone is a freshman, how much difference is there in terms of experience?

Height, jumping, explosive power, speed...

These LaVine are no worse than Harris, Harrison and others from the University of Kentucky, or even worse.

The difference may only be that Harris and Harrison played as main players at the University of Kentucky, while LaVine played as a substitute at UCLA.

This is still relevant.

Anyone who is familiar with the University of Kentucky and Coach Calipari knows that the University of Kentucky under his leadership may not be very good in the conference competition, and their seeding sequence after entering the tournament may not be very high, but they always The more you fight, the stronger you become.

Just like this season.

The University of Kentucky was only the No. 8 seed in the Midwest Region, but it turned out to be a counterattack all the way, getting stronger and stronger as the battle progressed, and finally won the Midwest Region Championship and reached the championship game.

why?

It's because their main players are all freshmen and they are all very talented.

As a "talented" team, there is no doubt about the talent of the starting players Randall and Harrison. But as freshman players, what they lack is experience and the training of games, especially the training of tournament-level games.

So with the arrival of the championship, in game after game, these people are growing rapidly and getting stronger and stronger, and finally they truly grow into a championship team.

It can be said that the University of Kentucky under the leadership of coach Calipari is a typical example of "training through war"!

Due to the difference in experience, LaVine may not be able to take advantage against several starting players at the University of Kentucky, but against the bench players, there will be no problem.

For a time, thanks to the outstanding performances of LaVine and Adams, UCLA always held the lead, although the point difference was not large.

......

Before you know it, the second half is halfway through, with only a few minutes left.

At this time, UCLA was still leading by 5 points. Coach Calipari frowned slightly, called a timeout, and began to replace the main players.

At UCLA, LaVine and others came to the sidelines.

Coach Holland also made substitutions, replacing LaVine, Lamb, and Brown Jr. with Latvis, Powell, and Zhuang Yu.

After waiting for another two minutes, coach Holland made another substitution, replacing Anderson and Parker. He looked at LaVine: "LaVine, come on, replace Powell."

Raven was stunned for a moment, unable to react.

"Laven." Coach Holland called again.

"Here." Raven finally reacted, surprised and excited.
