Chapter Forty-Four: Dismounting

"Russell Westbrook! another great score!" the impactful point guard made the commentators go crazy. www.biquge.info Just now, Westbrook dodged Anjie's block with a beautiful pull-up layup. The small guard, who is only 1.91 tall, is not afraid to challenge the interior power of the Whirlwinds. Mike Taylor was completely unable to stop his breakaway, and Angel was unpredictable with the dexterous point guard.

The score on the big screen had become 6-0, and the opening two minutes were out, and the Whirlwinds had not scored a point, and UCLA had relied on Westbrook and Kevin Love to widen the difference.

"This is the end of the Whirlwinds' dark horse road, they have done well enough this season, I hope they can cherish this opportunity to play against the strong, and don't have any illusions about the rest. ”

If Ricard had heard the narrator's words, he would have rushed straight to the narrator and thrown him at the person who said it. Only two minutes into the game, the group of commentators acted as if they had seen through the future.

The Whirlwinds attacked again, and UCLA's players didn't dare to let up a bit because they were leading by six points.

An Jie received the ball on the inside, and the big white man named Lefu posted it again.

All-American First Team, Pacific 10 Conference Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year. This season alone, Kevin Love has won more accolades than many other players. Don't look at this big white man's lack of athleticism and back-to-back skills, but he does have his own set of methods to dominate the game.

In the last round, UCLA met the old rival of the Whirlwinds, the Texas A&M University Farm Kids. In order to deal with Kevin Love, the Farm Boys had to bring DeAndre Jordan to the court. They wanted to use Jordan Jr.'s strong body and perverted athleticism to contain Lefu on the defensive end, but the audience saw a full seven brutal blocks.

Oh, make no mistake. These seven blocks are not made by Jordan Jr., Kevin Love uses Jordan Jr.'s favorite abusive method to return the color. The power forward, who is only 2.08 meters tall and lacks jump, almost covered Jordan Jr. with a psychological shadow, and in addition to the block, Kevin Love also got a double-double of 19 points and 11 rebounds. After this confrontation, DeAndre Jordan once again "succeeded" in dropping his rank quite a bit.

Therefore, even if An Jie is facing a big forward, he is not easy. Angel didn't want to replicate DeAndre Jordan's failures on himself.

Holding the ball and playing it inside, An Jie intends to solve the problem in the most primitive way. UCLA knows that the biggest threat to the Whirlwind team is not Anjie, but the whole! Therefore, in this game, UCLA did not use the trap tactics against Anjie, but used man-to-man defense to maximize the difficulty of the Whirlwinds' passes. But from another point of view, it also shows the absolute trust that the UCLA head coach has in Kevin Love's defensive ability.

After a few collisions, An Jie has stepped into the three-second zone with one foot, and An Jie began to hold the ball in both hands, and he was about to attack the frame!

Kevin Lefu did not underestimate the Chinese in front of him, you must know that Kevin Lefu was very embarrassed in the confrontation with the Lopez brothers, but this Chinese single-handedly defeated the two twin brothers.

He followed An Jie closely and didn't dare to leave any space for An Jie.

However, in terms of footsteps, how can the slow Kevin Lefu compare to Anjie.

After shaking his back a few times, Anjie easily turned around and wiped past Kevin Love. With a low-handed layup, the Whirlwinds finally scored their first point after the opening game.

"We won't be surprised by Anjie's performance now because that's his normal level. Michael Beasley, DeAndre Jordan, D.J. Augustin, Brooke Lopez...... Listen to these brilliant names, they are all Anjie's defeated men! He is a star! He is no worse than Kevin Love!" Not only Paul Philips, but now many TV commentators appreciate this big man from China.

If Anjie and Kevin Love had gone head-to-head throughout the game, the Whirlwinds would probably have a better chance of winning than UCLA. But alas, basketball is never a confrontation between two people.

Almost every UCLA game was different, with 21 points against Darren Collison in the round of 64. Bamot had 13 points and 13 rebounds.

In the round of 32, Westbrook had 17 points and 11 rebounds, and Kevin Love had 19 points, 11 rebounds and 7 blocks. The Whirlwind can't just look at one person, and they can't watch two people, UCLA is a team that will always have someone to stand up and lead the team out of the quagmire.

Westbrook clearly inherited the excellent form of the previous round and became the first sword to be unsheathed by UCLA today. Mike Taylor was afraid of Westbrook's breakthrough and let him go. Westbrook has shot just 33.8 percent from three-point range this season, and Mike Taylor's selection doesn't look like a problem.

But Westbrook is a guy like him who still has the highest right to fire even if he can't shoot a few shots in a row. Dribbling to the three-point line, Westbrook jumped straight high.

"What!?" Mike Taylor didn't expect the opponent to shoot directly from three, his three-point shooting percentage was not high, where did this confidence come from?

Westbrook will always be confident in his offense, even if he is shooting just 33.8 percent from three-point range this season, so what?

Soaring into the air, his body tense and straight, such a shot is beyond the reach of Mike Taylor.

The basketball shot was very flat, and Kevin Love and Anjie fought to the death under the basket, vying for the rebounding position.

"Whew!" But the two of them did nothing, and Westbrook's basketball flew into the hoop with precision.

After the goal, Westbrook raised his right hand and made three fingers. Don't think that you can limit me by defending against breakthroughs, my attacking pace will never stop.

"Damn!" Rickard thought his head out, not knowing what to do with the defender. Some players are like that, there are no tactics that can limit them. Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal..... You've seen a team that can't keep them from scoring just by relying on tactics, and now Westbrook has become a terrifying presence in college basketball.

With the exception of Angel and Kevin Love, the rest of the Whirlwind team is not on the same level as the UCLA players.

9 to 2.

11 to 2.

13 to 2.

13 to 5.

After six minutes of play, the Whirlwinds scored in single digits, and they only scored five points thanks to Anjie's two attacks. UCLA gave the Whirlwind a dismount as soon as it came up!

UCLA fans cheered in the stands singing the Bruins anthem and chanting the names of the players. The Sweet Round of 16 is not their destination, only the champion can be worthy of this group of excellent players.

Ricard was forced to call a timeout as the UCLA players celebrated with a relaxed face. The players on the Whirlwind side hung their heads one by one, they had never played such a humiliating game.

"Give the ball to Angel!" Rickard shouted as the players sat down.

Don't talk about others, even An Jie looked surprised, he stared at Ricard with a serious expression. Ricard has always asked his players to play team basketball, and he has demanded aggressive movement and pick-and-roll, precise passing and coordination. Playing the ball to one person? The Whirlwinds have never done that this season.

"We have to get UCLA to focus on Anjie first, and then others can have a chance. We're too spread out right now, and UCLA's man-to-man defence is just the right way to keep us at bay. Don't hesitate! Anjie, let Kevin Lefu taste your awesomeness!"

Is the best player in the Pacific Ten League? Facing a strong opponent, An Jie was a little excited in his heart. Fighting against the strong and then making yourself stronger, this is what An Jie desires the most now.

"Hey boy, Kevin Love is a guy who plays his duty. I think those tricks will work well on him. Divac patted Anjie on the shoulder before coming on the pitch, revealing his trademark wicked grin.

Little did Kevin Love know that the guy who was now following Divac's teachings would be one of the most hated opponents of his career. The feud between Kevin Love and Anjie began in college.
