Chapter 106 Fighting
Soon, the first half of the game was over.
The score of the two sides is not high, 19:16. UCLA barely holds the edge.
An Luo was not active on the offensive end.In these 10 minutes, he only took four shots and hit two goals.They were all made in the first 2 minutes.In the next 8 minutes, An Luo was mostly helping his teammates.
The most outstanding performance was Prince, who made four of six shots and scored 8 points!He has a high desire to attack today, relying on his excellent breakthrough ability to hit the basket frequently, causing great damage to USC.
After playing for another 2 minutes, the two sides began to replace their second team.Alford was cautious, keeping both Prince and Alex on the field.Although in the last few games, An Luo played very well with the second team.But Prince was better today.
Faced with USC's substitute, Prince played more resolutely.He first played a pick-and-roll with Alex and scored an air cut layup; then he shot a cold arrow from the outside and hit two three-pointers.Relying on his wonderful performance from inside and outside, UCLA pulled the score to double digits for the first time.
With three minutes left in the first half, Alford also substituted Alex and Prince.Today has exceeded their usual playing time, and now they are leading a lot, so they can take a rest.
In fact, Alford is not worried about being overtaken at all.With a point difference of more than ten points, even if your own players have no defense at all, it is not possible to catch up in two or three minutes.What's more, the defensive ability of his own substitute lineup is not much weaker.
In the final few minutes, USC really stepped up its offense.They changed again, put the most offensive player on the field, and prepared to grab points.
It's like a turn-based game. After your side sings, our side will appear on the stage. The player who re-entered USC showed his excellent offensive ability.Like Prince in the first few minutes, UCLA's defense looked fragile.Although, those players have some very good defensive skills.But it can only delay the pace of other people's attacks, and cannot stop them.
But that's enough.It's good that they can hold the game.Alford didn't expect these guys to win the game.
At the end of the first half, 42:37, UCLA still maintains a wretched lead.This was because of USC's frantic pursuit of points in the last few minutes, which narrowed the score a bit.
At halftime, the UCLA bench was elated.Although the score is not much ahead, but the situation is very good.If USC doesn't come up with something better in the second half, it's pretty much game over.
Alford was pleased with his players' performance in the first half.Today, he uncharacteristically praised his players, especially Prince. His performance today is simply superstar level.
He didn't give the lads much more to say, just keep the momentum going.The performance of the players in the first half was perfect, and the tactical cooperation arranged before the game was played out, and the effect was very good.Since there is nothing wrong with the tactics, there is no need to make more adjustments.
Of course, there may be another reason.That is, he himself is too lazy to think about it.After all, the game is still going on, and no one can tell what will happen in the second half. If there is really a problem, it will be time to prescribe the right medicine.
From the bench on the other side of the court, the head coach at USC was a different story than Alford.Don't look at him as a normal person, but he is panicked!No one can lose to UCLA!If they really lost, no one cared whether they were on the road or not, and no one cared how much pressure they were under.
And judging from the current situation, the possibility of them losing this game is very high!
In fact, they did enough in the first half, both defensively and offensively.Especially on the defensive end, it has almost reached its peak.He sent the team's best defensive perimeter player to stare at An Luo, and then double-teamed as soon as he caught the ball, resolutely preventing the opponent from shooting a three-pointer.
During the entire first half of the scene against An Luo, USC put in a lot of defensive effort, coupled with various small moves, the defensive effect was still very good.
This is also the main reason why An Luo made no achievements after shooting two three-pointers.He really can't stand this kind of poor defense.He himself is also proficient in one-man defense, but he never thinks that he can use all means to achieve defensive goals.
It's a pity that An Luo was restrained, but another Prince appeared and killed USC.
The head coach of USC has a deep understanding of what is called "a clever woman can't cook without rice".Judging from the players he has now, it is absolutely impossible to limit the opponent's two outside scoring points at the same time.There is nothing to do, and the next step is to continue to restrict An Luo, and then fight against UCLA!As for the outcome, it depends on who has a higher shooting percentage in the second half.
In the second half, change sides and fight again.Both sides sent their main players.
The first ball is USC's possession.Their point guard pushed forward with the ball, and Holiday stuck to it tightly, with a strong sense of oppression.His hands are very open, without unnecessary movements, even if the opponent wants to draw a foul, he can't do it.
There was no way to continue to attack, he tried a few times, and managed to squeeze out a little space, but he didn't dare to rush in rashly.That big white man has been eyeing himself!He still has lingering fears about the hat in the first half.
Can only hang the ball to the inside.
USC's inside players are the kind of traditional big men. After receiving the ball, they single-up the black big man Tony Parker with great strength and feel very relaxed.After the last burst of footsteps shook Tony, he made a layup.
Looking back, USC is also very tough on the defensive end.They still tightly restricted An Luo, and then blocked Prince's route to the basket, allowing him to shoot from the outside.In the first half, although he also made several three-pointers, he is not a very three-point shooter like An Luo after all.
Holiday holds the ball, watches his teammates, and doesn't rush the pass.Obviously, the opponent's defense became more active in the second half, and I should be safer.
Finally, he beckoned and Alex pulled out.After he stepped forward to cover, he went straight down and made a look of catching the ball for a layup. In fact, An Luo had already led the defender from the right to the left at this time.Alex quickly blocked the USC people who were following him halfway.After a series of running positions and coverings, there was no one around An Luo.
Holiday hit the ground and sent the ball to An Luo, who caught the ball and shot it.
