Chapter Eighty-Eight: Ben Holland's Strange Tricks (II)

The game against Xavier University was at the Arco Arena, home of the Sacramento Kings, and the Kings have been in a bad year since 2000-2001, and the boss's stingy character has not attracted big stars! Even if you bring in a star who is in charge, it's just a matter of stabilizing fans, and entering the playoffs is a luxury.

Since it is the battle for the top 16, the fan atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger! The game hasn't started yet, and the cheers are already around!

There is no Westbrook in the starter, and the impact on the interior is much less, but the team's basketball operation is more, Westbrook holds the ball and attacks either this ball must be passed, he will give you a signal, but if you want this ball, you are forced to pass it! It's not a mistake, it's a wonderful pass!

But to be honest, there are many mistakes in this thing! Although Westbrook can pass the ball, it is a question of whether the inside can play a second attack or the outside can receive the ball.

Before going on the court, Ben Holland said that there are no strong people on the opponent's inside, so there is no need to kill inside, it is enough to have Jones and Love on the inside, and if the shooting rate is good, then shoot Xavier University, Jones and Love on the inside can completely guarantee the offensive rebounds of the Bruins!

If the outside line can't be opened, then it doesn't matter, the combination of Huang Yu and Lefou's high-status offense can also make Xavier University vomit blood! The long-range shooting percentage is a matter of luck, so the hole card of this lineup is the low-post attack of Huang Yu and Lefu! As for the high position, it is when the opponent's one-on-one defensive ability is too strong, and the inside line will cooperate with the blocking!

----------

Ben Holland's plan was very good, but Huang Yu and Darren Collison scored completely unorthodox, and they blinded Xavier University in the opening game! More than 2 meters of scoring guards are not nothing! But this is the first time that Xavier University has seen such an accurate battery!

Huang Yu shot 3 of 3 three-pointers in the opening game, and with UCLA's active defense, the opening game was 9-0! Then Darren Collison and the inside line Lefu also let go! Constantly attacking Xavier's basket! Although Darren Collisson's three-point shot is not as accurate as Huang Yu, he also maintains a 50% shooting rate, and Lefu is even more cool, Xavier University can have an interior line that can go one-on-one with him, he is simply Nezha who is turning the river and the sea!

Xavier University's Coach Screams Bag Clip! Bag clip! But Lefou's passing site is there, and the basketball easily goes into Jones's hands with a flick of his wrist, although he doesn't shoot, but the speed and height of the arm span are enough, and it is a strong dunk when he pulls it up! It would be better if someone went over to make up the defense, and Jones could pass the ball too! Although it took a little effort to receive his pass, the vacancy came out!

Even Bamot took advantage of the vacancy to make a few mid-range shots! Soon the score was stretched to 20 points! At this time, just ten minutes have passed in the first half! Ben Holland looked at Westbrook who was scratching his ears and cheeks below, although he saw that the momentum was good, he didn't let him play, it was not good to rest a game to let his teammates win the game, and the next game was sad, if he didn't take advantage of the current time to adjust the team, there was still time for the next day.

But Ben Holland really couldn't stand Westbrook's pitiful gaze, like an abandoned pet, so he had to wave his hand, three times and three up! With Huang Yu, Darren Collison and Love in place, Westbrook comes on with Randy and a Turret-type substitute! Jones and Bamot were very happy when they saw that they were not replaced by themselves, after all, they had the opportunity to brush the data, and there was one less brush!

----------

Also happy is the coach of Xavier University, Nima finally waited for this stunned young man! Glared at the captain of his own side!

Next, two Xavier University guards began to take turns to provoke Westbrook, knowing that he was only the captain of the Bruins, but today he came on as a substitute!

As for the provocation, this is given by the coach of Xavier University, watching the basketball continue to pass around, Westbrook's patience is exhausted little by little! The defensive end was played like a monkey, wanting to vent on the offensive end, but the opponent's assistance defense was very timely, Westbrook could only pass the ball in the face of the bag, but the backup point guard who played with him had a higher shooting rate, and he couldn't face the defense, and Bamot could only score in his own one-acre three-point field! Xavier University has succeeded in severing UCLA's internal and external connections.

Soon Westbrook exploded, attacking the interior with the ball directly! But Xavier University's big forward is constantly making small moves in the process of constant interference! Although Westbrook offense failed to get free throws! But Westbrook, who had a childish temper, played a bull with the opposing big forward when he was not satisfied with the argument with the referee!

As a result, I ate a T, and the 2 points that I could have earned became 1 point! Now Xavier University has successfully opened Westbrook's single offensive mode! Constantly attacking the inside, Xavier University power forward, who took advantage just now, although he really wants to repeat his old tricks! But because Westbrook ate a T, the referee focused on the physical contact between the two!

After all, Westbrook is the star player of this NCAA, and the referee may not be unaware of it, and the T just given is nothing more than to maintain the dignity of the referee! I didn't give you a foul with me, you make trouble, if you don't give T, then the player will think that the referee's scale is very low! It's unscrupulous on the field, they're all adolescent children, and over-the-top physical contact can easily cause a big disaster! So it's also what the referee needs to do to calm them down in time.

So in the state of the opponent's convergence, Westbrook hit the inside line like playing, and played one after another, not to mention making a foul by the opponent's center!

But soon Xavier University changed its strategy and did not give Westbrook a chance to rush up at all, double bag clip! Although Westbrook has the ability to break through, the success rate is very low! As a result, there were frequent mistakes, which gave Xavier University a chance to successfully close the score to 10 points!

Ben Holland couldn't sit still at this point and called a timeout.

"Russell, if you are headless and brainless to hit the inside line, then you can go down and calm down, the brain of this brown bear on the field is you, but you have fallen into the trap prepared by the opponent, although this trap will not bring you great damage, but the wounds that continue to cause you will also make your strong body weak...."

Ben Holland used a metaphor to express the situation facing the current Bruins.

Huang Yu on the side rolled his eyes, what you said was so vague, it's strange that Westbrook can understand it, you might as well tell him that the other party is stabbing you with a knife, and wants you to bleed to death! It's even better if it's so straightforward!

"I got the coach....!"

..............................

Although I don't know how the two people in the distance communicate to reach a consensus! But Westbrook didn't make a mistake for a while before halftime! Feel at ease doing the work of a point guard, constantly connecting the team!

At the start of the second half, Ben Holland returned to the court with the exception of Jones! Promoted Lefu to the center position, Bamot became a power forward, Darren Collisson, who had a good shooting percentage, played as a scoring guard, and Huang Yu returned to his familiar small forward position! Westbrook continues to serve as the team's brain-brain point guard.

But once again, when Xavier University tested Westbrook, he found that the other party didn't pay attention to your provocation at all, and Westbrook played more reasonably on the offensive end! It's like a traditional point guard!

They knew that in the first half, because of their own impulsiveness, the great advantage was recovered! With the addition of Ben Holland's nudge, Westbrook was already very guilty, although his teammates didn't say anything, but the game that was able to end early was forcibly prolonged by his brainless attack, although he was not angry, but no one would be happy! The atmosphere in the air is naturally serious!
