Chapter 299: The Best Return

Damian and Marley were in full position, legs open, hands on chest, and dead.

"Ironclad defense!" Gatlin saw at a glance that the two Rao defensive positions were the most solid defensive positions, and it was with this style of play that UCLA limited Duke's core Mason and crushed the opponent in one fell swoop.

That's what is known as an impossible defense.

Larry and the two collided head-on, and Larry, who was sprinting at full speed, was stopped by force.

"Stronger?" Larry clearly felt the increase in the strength of the two through the impact, and the lower plate was very stable, and Larry's strength was unexpectedly difficult to shake.

The two of them are like a barrier deep in the ground, impregnable.

Larry's offense was temporarily paused, and before he could get into his offensive threat zone, he had to return to Gatlin.

Gatlin turns straight with the ball and faces Oscar.

"It's not easy." Gatlin lamented that Larry was still a freshman after all, and he was helpless in the face of tough defense, but he didn't expect UCLA to use this trick against Larry.

"Let's give Xinrao a greeting gift." "The NCAA wasn't as simple as he thought. ”

"It's good to have a lesson." Gatling said, "But is it really okay to show your cards so early?" Those shots have been recorded. "There are a total of eight cameras around the corner, which are recording the players' every move from all angles, including the tactical play of the two teams in the game.

NCAA teams have strict requirements for the secrecy of their tactics, and generally do not easily expose their tactics to others, but they still cannot avoid being "spied on", after all, the media is the object that every team does not want to provoke.

Forced them into a hurry, and wrote everything.

"What does it matter to expose a little bit of tactics." Oscar was not worried about tactical exposure and acted calmly

Gatlin smiled, UCLA really hid the tactics, and the ones that were played were ordinary tactics that everyone knew, and they didn't hurt.

"Gatlin vs Oscar, it's going to be well documented." The cameras are aimed at the two people, the PK of the top stars of the two teams, and Mars hits the earth.

In the last matchup, Oscar scored 42 points, Gatlin scored 45 points, and UCLA won by 3 points.

The two have been battling for four years in the NCAA and have faced each other 13 times, with Oscar winning nine of them to lead in win percentage, but Gatlin is the one with the better stats.

In the NBA mock draft, Oscar was the first pick in the first round, and Gatlin was third.

Of the 14 data items in the physical test, Gatling has 9 data to crush the Oscars.

"Oscar is a player who can revitalize the team, and Gatlin is a little bit more individual."

The two scouting reports tell the story, which is why Oscar has been crushing Gatlin in his draft predictions.

But at this moment, Gatlin attacked with the ball, and Oscar was a little difficult to defend in front of absolute physicality, and after struggling, Gatlin still scored the ball.

Turning around, Oscar responded by assisting Leo to hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner.

The two are helping their team in their own ways.

Midway through the second quarter, Gatlin completed the scoring overtake over teammate Larry and became the leading scorer of the game.

Larry's score hadn't risen in a while, and his threat was minimized under the limits of the UCLA's twin towers.

Oscar dished out seven assists in less than half time, while also recording 10 points and six rebounds, and the mini-triple-double statistics were very beautiful.

UCLA also slowly caught up with the score, and the difference was only 2 points before halftime.

In order to maintain the lead, Kentucky's defense increased its intensity again, focusing on guarding Oscar, and in the last attack, Oscar was completely outside the tactical system and did not participate in the offense, while taking away two Kentucky defenders.

Oscar's approach made Kentucky miscalculate, wasting two defensive forces in vain, and forming a situation where there is less defense and more defense, and the remaining three must stare at each other four people at the same time, and no matter how they defend, one will be missed.

"Joint defense!" Kentucky can only put on a local joint defense, shrinking the defensive range and preventing UCLA from hitting the inside.

The UCLA's four players used wide, fluid passes to tugg the Kentucky defense, and their center of gravity changed with the direction of the pass.

UCLA is deliberately stalling for time, and they want to use the last attack to run out of game time and not give Kentucky even a second to attack.

According to the original chance, the basketball would end up in the hands of Felix on the weak side.

After 8 transmissions, the basketball really fell into the hands of Felix, and there was only enough time left for one shot, and there was no time to even dribble once

Felix had to catch the ball and shoot first.

"Don't think about it." Larry's attention was all about timing, he had moved ahead of Felix before he received the ball, and by the moment Felix received the ball, his defense was in place.

Larry straightened his body, his arms stretched as far as he could, blocking Felix's shot head-on, completely blocking his shot line.

If Felix follows the trajectory of his current shot, a block is inevitable.

"Ah~" Felix kicked hard with his right foot to the side, his body flashed to the other side, successfully avoided Larry's block, and shot in the process of drifting sideways, the basketball flew towards the basket with a side spin, the flight trajectory of the basketball in the air was not straight, but cheap, due to the existence of side spin, the basketball continued to correct the flight trajectory in the air, and when it came to the falling stage, the trajectory was corrected and passed through the basket.

A brilliant drifting three-pointer helped UCLA take a one-point lead at halftime.

The score wasn't much, but it was crucial, and it meant that UCLA played a better half than Kentucky.

Larry played a staggering first quarter, Gatlin took over the game in the second quarter, took the game apart, and the two each played a perfect quarter, but combined with the entire first half, only Gatlin's performance was normal, and Larry was invisible for a whole quarter, which is why Kentucky was overtaken.

Also a freshman, Felix's performance is more memorable than Larry's, and although his stats are not as good as Larry's, the goal that he overtook in the end is as precious as gold, and it also shows his courage.

"Good shot!" His teammates came over to celebrate Felix and give the newcomer encouragement, and few people really could do it if he was able to hit the over-the-top whistle on Kentucky's head.

Some people rejoice, and some people worry.

Compared with the excitement on the field, the end of the bench was much more deserted, and Mu Chenfeng did not show a trace of joy.

"So that's the gap." Mu Chenfeng was clearly aware of the gap between himself and Felix, and before Felix made a move, Mu Chenfeng also tried to imagine what choice he would make if he faced Larry, he should shoot directly, and then be blocked.

Felix, on the other hand, calmly made the most accurate judgment, and scoring a goal was his best reward.

"Welcome to NCAA, newcomer."
