Chapter 54: Modifying Tactics
"UCLA's twin stars have come out of nowhere, and the combination of inside and outside has won two consecutive victories, full of momentum, and the goal is to win the division? No! The goal is to win the league! β
The day after the victory over USC, UCLA once again dominated the headlines, and after two games, UCLA even ranked third on ESPN's Power Index, behind last season's champion, the University of Kansas, and runner-up, Georgetown University.
But the test came so quickly, UCLA's next opponent is the University of Oregon, which is now tied for the top spot with UCLA, which is also two consecutive wins, and the same is Eddick's university.
"Xiaohao, you and Eddick have been opponents, teammates, or friends, what do you think, how is Eddick playing?" During training, Coach Chris asked Meng Xiaohao.
Meng Xiaohao hesitated for a moment and looked at Sarid, "Well...... this" Meng Xiaohao paused, "Edik, whether it is offensive or defensive, is the top in my opinion, and his basket is almost very good, although it is a bit of a prestige to say this, I have to say that Edik is not much different from Sured." β
Everyone was very surprised when they heard Meng Xiaohao's words, "Oh my God, you mean to say that Edik can have a five-five fight with Sarid?" β
Meng Xiaohao nodded, "Although Sarid may have some upper hand, it is very likely to play a five-five, after all, Eddick is also a guy who can enter the McDonald's All-Star, and he is not a bone to gnaw." β
"If this Edik is really as Meng Xiaohao said, his strength is good, then it will be difficult for us to play this game!" Coach Chris said lightly.
"After all, the University of Oregon, and a Sirud!" Sarid said from the side.
"West Luther?" Meng Xiaohao read the name over and over again, "Is it that very good small forward?" β
"Yikes! You know him! Sarid was very surprised when he heard Meng Xiaohao's words.
Meng Xiaohao nodded, "I still know a little bit about this person, I saw him in a sports magazine before!" β
"This guy is amazing!" Sarid smiled, "If he hadn't been injured at the end of last season, whether we would have been the first in the division or not would have been ours is another matter!" β
"So powerful?" Meng Xiaohao was very surprised, "That is to say, Oregon is already very strong, so it now has Eddick's help, so isn't this bone difficult to gnaw?" β
Sarid nodded, "If that Edik is really that strong, then this game will be a bad fight!" β
Unexpectedly, Meng Xiaohao smiled "hehe", "I just like evil battles!" Playing with excitement! β
"You're terrible!" Rivers, who was on the side, said coldly, "We all want to fight lightly, and you want to fight evil!" β
"Huh! Rivers! At this time, Coach Chris suddenly scolded, "Pay attention to your attitude!" β
Coach Chris was very unhappy with Rivers' attitude, "You need to change your attitude, fighting evil can raise a person's ceiling and stimulate potential potential!" β
was scolded by Coach Chris like this, Rivers naturally didn't say anything more, just lowered his head.
"Alright, I've said all that needs to be said, now I'm going to revise my tactics!" As he spoke, Chris pushed out the whiteboard from the side, "Come, come and gather, and then sit down and watch me lay out my tactics!" β
The crowd came to the whiteboard and sat down......
"The University of Oregon, last season was a team that was both offensive and defensive, they were at the top of the division in offense and defense, and Sivier was the core of their offensive playmaker, although he was a small forward, he was very versatile, you can't imagine it! With a height of 2.02 meters, there is also a dribble that has not been weakened because of his height, excellent physical fitness, excellent ball quotient, and the existence of being able to play from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position! β
At this time, Sarid nodded below and said in a low voice: "You can even call him a man who can really play from the No. 1 position to the coach's seat!" β
"But Sivir also has shortcomings!" Coach Chris added, "Siwell's biggest shortcoming is the free throws, although he is a small forward, but his free throws are really criticized!" The free-throw instability has been evident since he was in high school! β
Coach Chris paused, "His three-point shooting is not very good, he played a total of 15 regional games last season, and the three-point shooting rate was 30 percent, which is not particularly bad but not excellent." β
"Now that the University of Oregon has brought in Edik, there will be a qualitative leap on both offensive and defensive ends, and now there are some very good 3-and-D players who are good at shooting from the outside in the bench at the University of Oregon, which will test our offense and defense."
(3-and-D player: A player who has excellent defense and accurate shooting ability from the outside, and is usually the target of a championship team.) οΌ
At this point, Chris tapped on the whiteboard behind him......
"So, we're going to change our defensive strategy!" As he spoke, Coach Chris took out a pen from his pocket, "Our characteristic is that whatever team we encounter, we will use whatever tactics and strategies we encounter!" β
Just look at Coach Chris writing on the whiteboard......
"Our defensive strategy is simple, man-to-man!"
"Human-to-man?" Everyone looked at each other.
"Coach!" At this time, Li spoke, "Coach, if you mark people, if the opponent has a super inside line or a player with outstanding ability, it is difficult to be restricted!" Like Sivir and Edik! β
Chris listened to Lee's words and nodded, "It's true that the man-to-man tactic will indeed be difficult to restrain Sivier and Edik, but if you use the joint defense tactic, it will leave an empty space, which is easy to be spotted by the opposite side and then carry out targeted attacks." β
"But!" Chris smiled slightly, "Although Savis may not be able to restrain Sivir, I believe that you Sarid will definitely restrain Edik!" With that, Coach Chris looked at Sarid with a smile.
"Thank you coach for your trust!" Sured smiled at Coach Chris's smile as well.
"But Sivir is still a problem with this." Coach Chris continued, "So I'm going to play another defensive tactic against Sivir! β
"What tactics?" Li asked curiously.
"Meng Xiaohao!" At this time, Coach Chris called Meng Xiaohao's name.
"Yes, Coach!" Meng Xiaohao looked puzzled, he didn't know what the coach told him to do.
"A difficult task for you! I'm going to wrap up Sivir when you're playing! Coach Chris said,
"Huh?" Meng Xiaohao was stunned for a moment, "I wrapped up Siwell?" β
"That's right!" Coach Chris was very resolute, "The players opposite you are not very good, I think you should pay more attention to it, when defending the opposing players, keep an eye on Sivir more, and go up at the right time to carry out the bag!" β
When Meng Xiaohao heard this task, he obviously hesitated, but finally nodded, "I know the coach, I promise to complete the task!" β
"I know it's going to be hard, but I'm sorry for you!" After hearing Meng Xiaohao's agreement, Coach Chris smiled with relief.
"That's it! Defensive tactics are like this, offensive tactics we don't change, we still maintain our characteristics, improvisation, more flowering, dazzling! β
The crowd nodded.
"Okay, that's all for today, let's continue training!"
βUCLAοΌβ
"Never give up!"
β¦β¦
Meanwhile, the University of Oregon basketball team training hall ......
"Edik, you know Meng Xiaohao, tell me what kind of person Meng Xiaohao is!" The University of Oregon is also doing the same thing as UCLA, revising tactics.
"Meng Xiaohao?" Edik thought for a moment, "Meng Xiaohao is very strong!" His strength can be understood not only by looking at the data of these two games, after all, the first point of attack in UCLA is still Surid, if Meng Xiaohao becomes the first point of attack, then Meng Xiaohao's data will grow explosively, so we must not take him lightly! β
At this time, Edik's eyes became very serious......
"I've known him for so long, and the people who underestimate him can't eat and walk around......"
