Felix and Mu Chenfeng have not been able to perform as expected, and it is clear that as newcomers who have not played in an official NCAA game, they will not be able to adapt to the intensity of the NCAA competition in a short period of time.

This is a very normal thing, and even many stars who would later rise to prominence in the NBA did not perform well in their first NCAA game, but that didn't detract from their greatness and achievements.

The game is such a thing, to put it bluntly, practice makes perfect, and the more you play, you will naturally integrate into it, and with the talent of Mu Chenfeng and Felix, there is no need to worry about whether they can adapt to the NCAA, after all, there is still a big gap between the intensity of the NCAA and the professional arena, both of them have the potential to enter the profession, and the short trough is nothing.

Barton's answer was to let the two of them adjust through the game, although UCLA fell behind more and more points after Mu Chenfeng's debut, he knew very well that the team's "nuclear weapons" had not yet been played, and Oscar must have a way to recover the score.

In the end, it was FMVP, Oscar only took 3 minutes, and scored 11 points in a row, and the difference instantly narrowed to only 5 points, Duncan sensed the arrival of the crisis, so he applied for a timeout, temporarily interrupting Oscar's scoring momentum.

Duncan is worthy of being a protégé of Popovich, and the timing of the timeout is just right, if it is a round late, when Oscar chases the difference to the point of equalizing or even overtaking with only one goal left, the situation will be much worse than now.

Don't underestimate the difference in this round, its impact is as precious as gold.

The top priority was to curb Oscar's play, so Duncan removed two starters and replaced them with two players with stronger defensive ability to target Oscar, and the effect was obvious, and Oscar's offense was stifled.

This was originally Duncan's "killer weapon" that was intended to be used in the later games, but it was forced to be used on UCLA's body in advance, the two people's defensive awareness and physical strength are excellent, as long as Oscar and Wake Forest's players form a one-on-one, one of the two must appear in the best defensive position, limiting Oscar's offense, forcing Oscar to have a few unreasonable reluctant shots, and Wake Forest temporarily stabilized the situation.

However, the price of replacing the two defensive giants is to reduce the team's offense, and on the offensive end, he can only rely on "Duncan Jr." to support himself, but he can also bear the burden of the team and continue to use the board to score points.

In the NBA, there are many almost "incomprehensible" offensive methods, most of which are the signature moves of stars, with strong technical content, and ordinary people can only imitate their shapes but not their gods, and Duncan's "board" shooting is one of them.

Many stars have followed Duncan to participate in the mini-training camp held by him, the purpose of which is to be able to know a little bit about the skills of playing and shooting in the process of communicating with him, but more than 90% of the stars have failed and lost to this seemingly simple shooting trick.

Since NBA stars are accustomed to hollow shooting, few people specialize in playing the board and shooting, unless they are forced to do so.

The difference between a board shot and an ordinary hollow shot is that an ordinary shot only needs to adjust the trajectory and strength, while the board shot calculates the reflection angle of the basketball on the basis of these two factors, so the target of the ordinary shot is the basket, and the goal of the board shot is the rebound, and this technique can only be achieved by controlling the line of the board and the angle of the rebound.

This is also why Duncan's shooting has become a stunt in the NBA, and it is really difficult to master.

Such a difficult technique to master has been vividly demonstrated here in Duncan Jr., he seems to be born to play the board and shoot, the first ball he hit in his life is to play the board, the old Duncan inherited his basketball genes to the little Duncan intact, coupled with the acquired training, so that the little Duncan playing the board is even more hooligan than the old Duncan.

Although it is difficult to get started with board shooting, if you master it, it is easier to score goals than ordinary shooting.

Clang!

One more shot, this is already Duncan Jr.'s fifth consecutive hit on the board, except for the three-point line, his board has almost no dead ends, from the baseline to 45 degrees to the front, he can complete the board from any angle on the court.

"It's too hard to prevent." Marek, who is responsible for the opposite position with Duncan, is about to collapse, Duncan's height is a little taller among the big forwards, plus his shooting is a straight arm shooting, his arms are stretched straight when shooting, and he completely relies on the strength of his wrists and fingers to throw the ball, which makes his shot difficult to be interfered with, and what is even more unacceptable is that Duncan Jr.'s shooting is slightly backward compared to his father, which makes the probability of his shot being blocked is almost zero, and no one has blocked Duncan Jr.'s shooting so far.

UCLA's teammates can also understand Marek's distress, after all, it is normal for his confidence to be affected by being beaten so many times in a row, and all teammates can do is to try to appease him as much as possible and find suitable opportunities to help him with the trap.

There are two people in UCLA who are calmly observing Duncan's actions, Oscar and Mu Chenfeng, when Duncan is attacking, these two people are not bystanders, but analyze Duncan's skills and habits, and summarize the corresponding strategies from them.

"See his weaknesses?" Oscar had already seen Mu Chenfeng's thoughts, because Mu Chenfeng's performance was exactly the same as his own.

"Well, his weakness lies in his leaning." Mu Chenfeng said slowly.

This idea coincides with Oscar's, "Tell me about it." Oscar couldn't wait to know Mu Chenfeng's thoughts.

"His straight-arm board has reached the point where there is no weakness, there is no need to add a back-to-back at all, on the surface, adding a back-to-back makes his shot more difficult to defend, in fact, this is just an extra move, but when he leans back, the height of the ball will drop compared to the straight-arm, and the front is to avoid the defense, but if the defender is arranged on the side or behind, it can easily interfere with the ball." Mu Chenfeng told Oscar about his thoughts, which aroused a strong resonance from the other party.

Mu Chenfeng's feeling on the court shocked Oscar, he would analyze the current situation as the game deepened, this is something that only an excellent basketball player does, and his analysis of the situation is very thorough and in place, Oscar just thought of this, but Mu Chenfeng made the expression on his face at this time two rounds ago, which shows that he had thought of this a long time ago.

"If it is really possible to meet in the professional arena in the future, Mu Chenfeng will be a terrible opponent." Oscar silently warned himself inwardly.
