Chapter 138 Early March
In March, there was nothing special about Ben.But for all the teams participating in the NCAA league, it looks different.Of course, for most teams, participating throughout March is a bit of a luxury.
As of the end of February, there were only a handful of teams in each league who were sure of having a chance to participate in that feast.Such as the University of Kansas, such as the University of Oklahoma, such as UCLA.
With UCLA's current record, even if they lose the remaining two games in March, they will never lose their qualifications to enter the national championship.
So in the next game, Alford began to reduce the playing time of An Luo, Alex and others.First, you can accumulate strength for the championship; second, you can properly protect your players.After all, for the next few opponents, except for Oregon State University, the other two are in the same situation, and they will definitely do their best to fight.At this time, accidents are most likely to occur.
Therefore, for this week's game, An Luo felt that he went to watch the game live.
On March 3, UCLA played against the University of Oregon at home.
In this game, Alford still put Jock Goloman in the starting four position, Alex in the third position, An Luo in the second position, Holiday in the first position, and Hei Da in the fifth position. Little Tony Parker.He likes this lineup more and more now, he doesn't suffer from height, and his speed is not slow.Most importantly, both offensive and defensive ends are excellent, especially the perimeter defense, which is simply airtight!
However, these first halfs only played 8 minutes.Prince and Bryce played the remaining 12 minutes with a group of substitutes.
However, even if UCLA lacks the main force, it is enough for the University of Oregon to drink a pot.
Prince played the second position in the second team, and his strength was not weaker than the opponent's starting shooting guard at all.Of course, the defense is still worse, but his task is just to score.In every game, he only needs to bite the score when the main players are resting.
In this game, Prince turned into an all-around fighter.The sudden inside and outside shots caused great damage to the University of Oregon.Due to his outstanding performance, An Luo sat on the bench until the end of the game.
However, Holiday, Alex and others didn't play long in the second half.They felt as if they went up to show their faces and then returned to the sidelines, waving the towel with An Luo.
Thanks to UCLA's "mercy", the University of Oregon won a precious victory in the away game.
At the press conference, Alford answered questions from reporters with a flat face.In his mouth, the University of Oregon seems to be a team with superior strength, and it is very natural for UCLA to lose.
Regarding the appearance of these main players, he did not give a positive explanation.I just kept praising Prince, Bryce and other substitutes from the side, praising their outstanding performance in this game.The implication is: the substitute has played well enough, so I don't bother to change.
An Luo only played 8 minutes in this game! The data of 10 points and 2 assists created a new low for him in the official NCAA competition.He actually wanted to continue playing, but Alford was determined.Alex and others only played for 13 minutes, and didn't sweat a few drops.
But compared to the game against Oregon State two days later, that's pretty good.
On March 3, UCLA played against Oregon State University at home. An Luo and Alex sat on the bench in casual clothes.They are a little reluctantly sick!
For professional players, injuries are not uncommon, but it is an unavoidable thing in every player's career.Even if you don't encounter any major injuries, your body will inevitably experience discomfort during the long season.
So some smart old guy invented the practice of resting players when they're healthy.And caused many head coaches to follow suit.
Take the NBA as an example. Many active players like to take turns.On the one hand, they want more rest time, and on the other hand, they want to get enough time to adjust their state, and continue to maintain their state, and stay in the playoffs to play.
Alford is also resting his main force now.In the last game, Prince and others played well, so he can rest assured that the main players An Luo and Alex.
In fact, it's not very good for players who are going to enter the draft this year.Now is the time to show yourself to everyone, one less game, one less chance.
Fortunately, it had little effect on An Luo.He no longer needs to prove himself to everyone!If he wants to continue to add points, he can only perform in the national championship.
In the game against Oregon State University, although An Luo and Alex were absent, UCLA still staged a wonderful matchup for the audience.
Even more exciting than when An Luo played.
Alford once again took Prince at the third position, Bryce at the second position, and formed a weakened version of the starting lineup with Holiday, Jock, and the big black man.
Oregon State is still those players, but they had their best game of the season.
In many cases, after letting go of everything, you will perform even better.Anyway, I don't care about winning or losing, so there are no expectations and accusations. The players seem to be relieved, and it is natural to perform supernormally.Just like in the NBA, those teams that are bad early are often very strong when they play strong teams.
Like Oregon State in this game.They played very flexibly on the offensive end and were extremely efficient.The players cooperated very well and played the tactics arranged by the coach.The defensive end is also very tough, especially the restrictions on Holiday and Prince, doing a good job.Throughout the game, although the two brothers frequently shot from the three-point line, their shooting percentage was not high.As for the breakthrough, the opponent's five players all shrank to the inside, which was even worse.
As a result, UCLA once again lost to the Oregon team at their home court.They won their only two-game losing streak this season, and it was a two-game losing streak at home.
But no one questioned them for that.Whether it is the audience who came to watch the game or the cloud fans on the Internet, no one thinks that the UCLA Bruins are not strong enough because of the defeat of these two games.They have spent a season impressing these people: UCLA is strong!
After playing these two home games, UCLA's regular season in the 2015-2016 season is all over.Some are not perfect, but for UCLA, this year's schedule has not officially started yet!
