Chapter 327: The closest team to a professional

The future may belong to Nevada, but the victory in this game belongs to UCLA.

Nevada's squad is almost entirely full of young players, and the young players have their strengths, but there is also the fatal drawback, which is that they don't know how to continue their form.

After a good quarter, the Nevada players were a little complacent, and they intend to continue this performance in the third quarter, maybe they can recover a little bit of points, and although there is little hope, it is worth trying.

It's a pity that their state still wants to be completely deprived in the 15 minutes of halftime, and they returned to the court to return to the state of the first quarter of the game, playing disorganized, the offense is often not smooth, and there are even low-level mistakes such as overlapping runs, UCLA didn't want to continue to expand the point difference, but Nevada is really giving a chance, and the point difference is getting bigger and bigger, which makes the players more and more anxious, and the team is in chaos, and UCLA has gained a 60-point victory in the chaos of the opponent.

Oscar, Mu Chenfeng and Felix played for 26 minutes, 24 minutes, and 25 minutes respectively, and the time difference was almost the same, and they hardly played in the second half.

In the end, Oscar scored a mini triple-double of 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Mu Chenfeng cut down 14 points, 2 steals, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds.

Felix had 10 points, three rebounds and three assists.

All three have been very consistent and have ranked in the top three of the team in terms of efficiency.

UCLA did not relax after the first game, and the whole team appeared in the training hall in the afternoon after the game was played in the morning, and conducted review analysis and tactical drills for the morning game.

Although the team won by 60 points, the team still exposed many problems in the game, such as unskilled tactics and leaky defenses, which are good for teams of average strength, but if they happen against strong teams, then it will be very dangerous.

In this regard, Barton also deliberately "criticized" individual players for some problems, just to make them less mistakes like this in the future.

After the meeting, the team disbanded on the spot, and UCLA's second opponent was the Holy Cross Academy, a team with an extremely fluid technical style and one of the richest shooters in the NCAA, including a mid-center who could shoot a respectable percentage from beyond the three-point line, thanks to their head coach: Stephen Nash.

This NBA historical point guard, to the Holy Cross College brought not only skills and tactics, but also to change the original Holy Cross College basketball heritage, is he constantly extended the range of the players from the basket to the outside, so that the center also has the same shooting skills as forwards and guard players, as a frequent visitor to the 180 club, Nash has special solid requirements for the basic skills of the team's shooting, from free throws to shots to the three-point line, players in various positions have different shooting percentage requirements.

The shooting percentage requirements for outside players are naturally relatively high:

85% or more free throws, 60% or more from mid-range, and 40% or more from three-point range.

The shooting percentage requirements for interior players are relatively low:

Free throws 70% or more, mid-range 50% or more, three-pointers 30% or more.

Only players who have a three-point shooting percentage will appear in his proposed playing list, and if one of the three doesn't meet the target, even if you seem to be the core of the team, you won't be able to play.

Although Nash's selection method is cruel, it is direct and effective, basketball itself is a sport that fights for state and feel, and players who are in hot form and have excellent feel will naturally get more opportunities to play.

In order to familiarize himself with the opponent, Mu Chenfeng also deliberately got the game information of the Holy Cross Academy, and carefully observed the video of their game, this is indeed a strong team, any player can shoot in any position, which is particularly terrifying, when he saw the big man pull to the outside to hit a three-point shot, his eyes widened, this is the most calm big man he has ever seen to shoot three points, and the action standard is like a guard, not at all like the feel of a center player, Steve. Nash is worthy of the name of a master, and even the players under him are so strong.

The evaluation of the Holy Cross Academy is: the team that plays the closest to the professional.

Because the centers of many teams in the NBA can also shoot three-pointers, it is completely consistent with the characteristics of the players of the Holy Cross College, especially several big men in the team, who have long been targeted by many NBA teams and teams in overseas leagues, and the draft market is bright, and the simulated draft is in the first round.

Even the domestic CBA league has teams that have followed their performance.

The entire video highlight is 30 minutes long, of which 25 minutes are shots, and the proportion of three-point shots in the shooting has reached a staggering 55%, and the number of three-pointers in the Holy Cross is even more than the mid-range shots.

Mu Chenfeng turned off the video, and all that came to mind was their accurate shooting, although the highlight video does not represent the strength of this team, but the basketball level of this person can be judged by a person's shooting action, the 15 players of the Holy Cross Academy, you can find Nash's shadow on any single one, which shows how terrifying its influence has reached.

Unlike Barton, who helped the players integrate into the team, Nash made the players himself.

Nash not only gave the players an excellent shot, but more importantly, improved their ball quotient, made them become selfless in the game, and knew how to share the ball, otherwise with the talent of the Holy Cross players, it would be difficult to reach the round of 32, and now they have reached the second round of the knockout round, and their performance has far exceeded the expectations of the outside world.

College of the Holy Cross's projected starting list:

Point guard: BL. Schumacher

Shooting guard: Al Raikkonen

Small forward: H.M. Hamilton

Power forward: GL Alonso

Center: TS Senna

A lineup that is both offensive and defensive.

Mu Chenfeng paid special attention to Schumacher, Raikkonen and Hamilton, and if nothing else, he said that he would be in opposition to one of them.

BL Schumacher has strong organizational skills, excellent defensive awareness, excellent physical condition, assist-oriented, and a combination of sudden shots.

Raikkonen is a full-time shooter who can play without the ball and with the ball, and the three-point is his regular weapon, and he has a strong ability to make key shots.

Hamilton, on the other hand, has plenty of fitness, runs tirelessly to find open space, and his specialty is mid-range, and he also has three-point ability.

No matter which of these three people is, they are a difficult bone to gnaw, and Mu Chenfeng is already ready for a fierce battle.

Among the three, the most comprehensive technique is Schumacher, and he is also the captain of the Holy Cross Academy, and the player Mu Chenfeng wants to play against the most is him.
