Westbrook makes a throw. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

An Jie turned around and made a jumper from close range.

Westbrook brushed off Anjie with his speed and scored on an easy layup.

An Jie easily completed a hook when facing the counterpoint that was much shorter than himself.

Anjie and Westbrook dominated the whole game, and the joint defense has lost its threat to Westbrook at the moment, and the penalty area defense without Love UCLA is better than nothing for Anjie. You score a goal, I return one. The scouts were overwhelmed by the performance of the two lads and did not hesitate to write praises on the scouting report.

Although An Jie played well, the situation of the Whirlwind team did not change in the slightest. The UCLA Four are now successfully limited by Ricard's three, but the only one left is causing the Whirlwind the most trouble. At the time, Rickard thought that the biggest threat to the Whirlwinds would be Love, but now it seems that he did underestimate the power of the point guard. This guy with a lot of physical quality always has a heart to be a champion, he never makes any excuses for himself, and he gives his best every time he fights.

Westbrook broke through again and again and collided directly with An Jie, and Asakin on the side looked worried, he knew best the pain when facing An Jie. Westbrook, however, didn't feel the slightest discomfort, even though he was knocked to the ground several times by Anjie.

"Great player, just his desire to win, this guy is definitely worth paying attention to. Most pundits predicted that Westbrook's draft pick would be after Kevin Love, and I think that conclusion is about to fall short of tenable right now. ”

Mike Taylor was frustrated, and against D.J. Augustine he was able to dominate in one or two rounds, but against Westbrook, he was an all-round defeat and a huge margin. If the mindset is affected, then the performance will also fluctuate. He was tackled twice by Westbrook in the offense, as evidenced by that.

With only six minutes to go until the end of the game, the Whirlwinds were still 10 points behind after fighting for so long. However, this difference does not reflect the real situation on the field, and although UCLA has the advantage, they also play very hard.

Rickard saw Angel fall silent on the bench again, and he knew the guy was exhausted. If it weren't for An Jie's defense and offense at any cost, the Whirlwind team would have surrendered long ago.

"We continue to defend together. "There is no way, at least the joint defense can still limit the other three, if you switch to other defenses, then the four King Kongs will take turns to impact the current whirlwind team can't withstand at all.

"An Jie, you can rest below later, and I will send you to play at the last moment. ”

"No, Coach, please let me keep playing. Unexpectedly, Anjie said this sentence that surprised Riccard.

"But you haven't rested until the second half!" Ricard didn't want to let An Jie play, but he had to risk letting An Jie rest in order to exert his strength at the last moment. The NCAA's 20-minute upper and lower halves really brought a great test to the coach's strategy of employing people.

"It's okay, it's only a few minutes and I'm going to hold on. After An Jie finished speaking, he threw away the towel on his head and took a few deep breaths.

Ricard knew that it would be very dangerous to let Anjie go. Without an offensive and defensive core, the Whirlwinds are likely to be crushed by UCLA in one fell swoop. When the time comes, if An Jie is sent to play, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to the sky. But he still prefers to come according to the routine, and does not want to have even a point of strength at the last moment.

Seeing that Ricard was still hesitating, An Jie spoke again. "Don't worry, coach, our previous devil physical training was not just for show, and my physical strength is no problem at all. ”

An Jie doesn't distrust his teammates, but the facts are also in front of everyone's eyes. In the face of the powerful UCLA, the only person who can fight against the opposing player is An Jie.

Rickard finally nodded, if Anjie is not allowed to fight hard now, then he will not have a second chance to fight hard this season.

"Keep attacking the inside and causing damage!" Ben Holland saw Angel ready to play, and gave Westbrook unlimited fire in the final moments of the timeout.

After the timeout, Kevin Love was back on the court. However, when defending, Love no longer paid attention to Anjie, and Ben Holland sent others to entangle Anjie.

"Is this a way to give up the defense?" Rickard didn't know what Ben Holland was doing.

Ben Holland had just been on the sidelines for a long time, and at the end of the break Kevin Love they were no different from giving up the defense, but what happened?

Offense!UCLA's biggest advantage now is offense! Let that Asian score as much as he wants in the penalty area, and UCLA can always return the color in the next attack anyway. One Westbrook can do it, so with one more Lefou, wouldn't the offensive firepower be even stronger. Ben Holland brought Love up for offense, and if Love leaves the game with a foul for defending Angel, then they will also lose a strong point of attack on the offensive end.

The guy who defended that area was Cruze, and the height difference was so great that Love wasn't disturbed at all. Three-point shot! Kevin Love is back!

On the first strike alone, Ben Holland proved how right he was in the decision. Maverick zone defense? That's what it works with.

Man-to-man or continue to defend in the zone? Rickard also had to make a choice question.

With a man-to-man defense, then Love would be much less of a threat, but Westbrook would be dominating the Whirlwinds' half. With a combined defense, neither man can limit one, but they can keep Collison and Bamot out of the offensive system. Dilemma, Rickard, as a college grass bird coach, finally met an opponent today. Ben Holland's guy has already taken General Ricard out.

In the end, Ricard still chose to continue the joint defense, and if all the four King Kong of UCLA are opened, then the decline will not be able to stop anyway.

Love bullied the little man on the outside, and Westbrook tried to climb over the tower of Anjie again and again. He obviously found that An Jie's jump height was far less than before, and the traverse speed was relatively slow, and he knew that this Chinese's physical strength was close to overdrafting.

13 points, 15 points, 18 points. UCLA improved the score by one, and Anjie's efficiency on the offensive end was also reduced due to physical overdraft.

Wu Hua looked at the tired figure of his compatriot and didn't know what to write. An Jie has tried his best, but the Whirlwind team still can't pull off.

With 26 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks, Anjie's stats have completely crushed Kevin Love so far. But none of that made sense because he couldn't lead the team to victory. If it were Michael Beasley's kind of stat brush, he wouldn't have cared about winning or losing his stats like this. The Whirlwind team is a real team.

The miraculous counterattack did not appear. An Jie's magical lore did not continue. UCLA has caught the Whirlwinds' death hole, Westbrook has taken his first steps to become a superstar, and Kevin Love has saved face in just six minutes.

That's the reality, that's the brutal competitive sport, that's the March Madness. Anjie lost, Ricard lost, and the Whirlwinds ...... Lost.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, An Jie was still staring blankly at the score on the big screen on the scene. 65 to 82, the huge red number bloodily sentenced the Whirlwind to death.

Next to Anjie, there are all UCLA players in white jerseys celebrating wildly. The Whirlwind team in red jerseys is out of step with this sea of joy. An Jie couldn't believe that his first NCAA season ended like this.

The sweet round of 16 is full of bitterness. It stands to reason that the Whirlwind team has exceeded their mission, not only did they make it to March Madness, but they also managed to get to where they are now. But who can be happy?

Morris was just staring at the screen without saying a word, and the reporter on the TV had already called Westbrook to start the interview. But he was like a Whirlwind player on the field, reluctant to leave the field.

At the time of the loss to the University of Kansas, the Whirlwinds still had a glimmer of hope of going into March Madness. And now, it's all over, the Whirlwinds' 07-08 season, completely over.

"We ...... We don't know what to say now. The Whirlwinds were one of the most successful teams of the season, but they were eventually crushed by successive encounters with the giants. Now the rest of the NCAA teams can rest easy knowing that the air raid sirens will no longer sound again. ESPN's commentators also had to feel sorry for the exit of such a good team.

Perhaps for the likes of Asakin they have a chance to make a comeback next season. However, for An Jie, it is still unknown where he will play next season. Perhaps, this will be his last game with the Whirlwinds?

An Jie did not sit on the ground, nor did he wash his face with tears. He just stood with his waist crossed, looking at the UCLA players celebrating their victory from afar.

"What a blessing. An Jie's heart was full of envy.

Becoming the core of the team in March Madness, An Jie has unknowingly become the first Chinese person in the NCAA arena. However, he is now willing to use all the accolades to get a win for the Whirlwinds.

In the face of failure, Wu Hua can already imagine the overwhelming doubts about An Jie in China. He decided to maintain Anjie's image in his column, and whoever dared to challenge him, he would respond with the sharpest words possible. Because his heart has long been conquered by that compatriot. Now Wu Hua is not only An Jie's tracking reporter, he is also one of Anjie's many fans.

It is only in Hans Christian Andersen's story that there is a perfect ending. While the world of competitive sports is full of winners, there are also countless good losers.

The Whirlwind team and An Jie obviously did not get God's favor, and stopped in the round of 16, An Jie was only one step away from being able to tie with the best result in team history, but they fell behind in that step.

"Let's go, boys, you're no different from the winners, you never give up. "Riccard's first NCAA season was undoubtedly a success, but he still felt heartache about the outcome. But he's the manager of the team, he's the leader of this group of young people, and he can't show his weakness in front of this group of lads.

An Jie was the last to change his clothes and closed the door of the locker room, and at the same time closed the once unstoppable dark horse road of the Whirlwind team.
