Chapter 155 Final Four
In a basketball game, referees play a very important role.One of their penalties is likely to change the trend of a game.
Holiday was a little unwilling. If the game was ruined because of one of his mistakes, then his crime would be too great.He continued to chase the referee, explaining non-stop.
An Luo saw that the referee's expression was a little bit wrong, so he ran over and pulled Holiday away.He put Holiday's head in his right arm and leaned into his ear and said, "It's okay, Aaron! We'll just keep this ball down! That's what we've always done."
University of Kansas throws the throw. UCLA sent the tallest man, Jock Goloman, to guard Wayne Selden, who served the ball.This is a relatively good arrangement. The big man has a large defensive area and can have the best interference effect on the server.The others are each following an opposing player.
Anlow followed Devonte' Graham, but he didn't think Wayne Selden would pass the ball to this guy.An Luo has always believed in his intuition, so he turned his attention to Perry Ellis on the side.This guy has farther range than Devonte' Graham and has a better handle on the ball.
With a whistle, the Kansas players scatter in different directions and start running.Wayne Selden held the ball with both hands, shook it a few times, and suddenly threw the ball in the direction of the middle circle.At this time, Devonte Graham in front of An Luo had already run over to block Alex who was following Perry Ellis.And the latter is approaching the middle circle at a very high speed.
It's a perfect sideline tactic, but An Luo has already prepared it.He popped the second Wayne Selden threw the ball.The feet seem to be equipped with springs, and the speed is very fast.
So, a lot of times you have to trust your instincts.
An Luo touched the basketball before Perry Ellis, and then hugged him in his arms.Without waiting for the opponent to come up to press, he threw the ball directly to UCLA's frontcourt.
Alex's reaction was also very quick, the moment An Luo jumped out, he understood.This is the tacit understanding between players.He ran forward quickly, knowing that An Luo would pass the ball.
At this time, the University of Kansas players, like a [-]-meter sprint, struggled to return to defense.If the opponent scores this goal, then this game will be really difficult to play.
Devonte' Graham was fast, with hot wheels on his feet, and rushed in front of Alex, and then managed to stop his fast break.But Alex still bit the bullet and rushed into the penalty area.Devonte' Graham controlled the distance between himself and Alex, blocking the opponent's layup route while avoiding being called for blocking fouls.
But Alex wasn't trying to actually go for the layup.Just when he was about to make a layup, a long pass suddenly sent the ball to An Luo at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line.Facing the big open space, An Luo naturally took off and shot without hesitation.
Hit a three-pointer very easily!
The University of Kansas made a mistake in its busy schedule. At that moment, everyone thought that Alex could not score the ball, and missed An Luo, who had been following behind, very cleanly.
So, no matter how anxious you are, don't lose your cool.
This time and again, the score did not equalize, but the opponent opened up again.The University of Kansas players are very frustrated!Especially Devonte Graham, he should have been staring at An Luo.Although Alex's fast break was blocked, the result was not good.It's better not to guard against it!
Of course, it's not his fault.All these changes were caused by the mistake of that sideline kick.The University of Kansas' sideline tactics were seen through by An Luo, which was the direct reason for their predicament.But it is undeniable that in the final analysis, it is because they are not strong enough!If they are strong enough, there is no need to rack their brains to design any sideline tactics.
Of course, the game is not over yet, and it is not yet time to make a conclusion.Although the University of Kansas is now 6 points behind, they did not give up. The NCAA is a place where miracles are born.Others can create, and they believe they can too.
With 40 seconds left, the University of Kansas is ready to grab one.Wayne Selden advanced quickly with the ball, and then, with the cover of his teammates, made a strong three-pointer and scored!
I have to say that the player Wayne Selden is really confident.Of course, he also has that ability.
With his three-pointer, the University of Kansas regained hope of winning.
Alford quickly called a timeout.He was very dissatisfied with the defense this time.He could see that An Luo and the others were slacking off on the court.Young people just can't stand still, so they have to raise something by themselves!
Alford pointed out the problems of An Luo and others very directly. This critical moment must not be ambiguous.Then he made the necessary arrangements.He asked Alex to hold the ball next, because the University of Kansas is likely to use foul tactics, and Alex has the highest free throw percentage and the most stable.
The second is to strengthen the shooting defense outside the three-point line.Alford's request is: he would rather let the opponent hit two points, and never let them shoot three points.
Back from the timeout, Alex was hugged by the opponent as soon as he caught the ball.The University of Kansas really used foul tactics!
This tactic is actually a very helpless method.The lagging team took the initiative to foul and fought desperately when the game time was not much.The difficulty is very great, but if it succeeds, it will be great!Can be blown by people for years!For example, McGrady scored 35 points in a row in 13 seconds and reversed the game.It's a classic case of foul play.
But Alex didn't give the opponent a chance to be a hero.In the last 20 seconds or so, he got to the free throw line six times and made six of six shots, ruthlessly destroying the last hope of the University of Kansas.
In the end, UCLA narrowly beat the No. 86 seed University of Kansas 83:[-] and advanced to the semi-finals of the national championship!
When the referee's final whistle sounded, An Luo, Holiday, and Alex rushed to the middle circle excitedly and hugged each other.They defeated the mighty University of Kansas when most people were not optimistic about themselves.They will head to Houston in a week.Where to compete with the champions of the other three divisions for the final NCAA championship this year.
As a loser, the University of Kansas can only return to Lawrence sadly, preparing to fight again next year.As the team that has occupied the top of the AP-25 list for a long time this season, it should have passed all the way and rushed to the finals to compete with a strong opponent.Unexpectedly, he failed to even make it to the semi-finals.What a pity!
But this is the cruelty of the NCAA "March Madness" and its charm.
