Chapter 326: Tenacious Nevada (Short Chapter)
In the second quarter, Nevada's spirit was renewed.
They decided not to look at the scoreboard for the entire second quarter, forget about the point difference, and focus only on offense.
There are no stars in the team, or all the "stars" in the team, and the five people present are likely to shoot to end the attack, which has caused a certain pressure on UCLA's defense, and no one dares to relax easily.
There are no particularly good scorers in the University of Nevada, but their scoring ability is very balanced, there are no obvious shortcomings, and the shooting rate is maintained at around 40%, which is a level that cannot be shot.
Nevada's smooth passing really tore a hole under UCLA's excellent defense, and the ball carrier certainly didn't let go of this opportunity, and he scored a three-point shot.
Nevada finally hit the second open goal of the game, and it was a three-pointer, which came a little later, but it gave the team a lot of confidence.
At least in this section, they are ahead of UCLA.
"There's something about their team basketball." Damian commented on Nevada's team basketball, and it is not easy to tear apart UCLA's defense, especially when it is a three-point shot, which is even more difficult.
"Well, everyone pay more attention, the other party does not have a clear point of attack, and anyone can make a move." Oscar reminded his teammates.
"Yes." The crowd responded in unison.
Just after the opponent scored a goal, UCLA held a small meeting on the field to discuss, which is enough to see how rigorous this team is, even in such a game with a huge disparity in strength, they will not relax, and solve any problem immediately, which is the resilience and execution that only a strong team has.
UCLA came up with a strategy to deal with it, but it didn't work, Nevada was always able to find holes in UCLA's defense, and this time, they actually found Oscar's head.
Oscar's defensive ability is well-known in the NCAA league, and there will be no problems under normal circumstances, but under the opponent's targeting, Oscar is also a little tired, and the speed of movement is obviously unable to keep up with the speed of the ball, making him lose his defensive position.
Nevada's team members are like cobras, seizing opportunities and killing them with one blow.
UCLA's side was the first to respond, with smooth and skillful dribbling skills connecting three people, hitting a layup, and the whole set of movements was brisk and crisp, and the audience cheered.
The scores of the two teams were tight, and the Nevada players really managed not to look at the scoreboard, so that they always kept themselves in a state of high concentration, and only when the whistle blew at the end of halftime did the players raise their heads and press the scoreboard.
The bright scoreboard showed a bright red score of 70:33, and the difference was still huge, but compared to the 38-point gap in the first quarter, the difference in points after the second quarter did not widen, but narrowed by one point.
The score doesn't lie, the University of Nevada scored 1 more points than UCLA in the second quarter, and they were the team that performed better in the second quarter.
The players couldn't believe it was true, they were just thinking about their game, thinking only about how to get the basketball into the basket, but they never thought that they would lead UCLA in scoring.
Nevada played a near-perfect second quarter, and when they played the team basketball they were good at, they could even wrestle with the defending champions, a young team that still needs to be experienced and grown, but their offensive performance conquered the crowd in the first quarter, and with more training in the future, they will definitely make their mark in the NCAA.
