Arizona State University disrupted UCLA's defensive rhythm by temporarily changing its offensive strategy, and Arizona State University took the opportunity to start franticly closing the gap.

However, UCLA's offense was not affected in the slightest, and their offense was still very rhythmic, with Meng Xiaohao and Savis in tandem, in an orderly manner.

Just watched Meng Xiaohao break through the inside line, and then gave the ball to Li on the outside, Li threw a three-point shot, and UCLA pulled the difference to six points.

Although Arizona State University has opened up a lot of offense, positional warfare and run-and-gun tactics are used together, but the offensive efficiency is surprisingly high.

However, they were unable to prevent the attack of UCLA, which was conducted by Meng Xiaohao and Savis, and although the point difference has been narrowing, it has been pulled away by UCLA, which has forced Arizona State University to be passive again.

At the end of the first half, UCLA took an eight-point lead and went into halftime......

"Boys, you played really well in the first half!" Coach Chris was delighted, "You guys did a great job of keeping your offensive rhythm in the middle of their game when Arizona State changed their rhythm! ”

Coach Chris said, looking at Meng Xiaohao, "Xiaohao, the conduction tandem and offense in the first half were very good, I didn't expect you to play so well in the first comeback game!" ”

Meng Xiaohao smiled "hehe", "For so long, I haven't played, my hands must be itchy, I have to play with all my strength!" ”

Coach Chris praised the UCLA players and then began the second half of the game......

"In the second half, Arizona State should still keep this tactic, and their tactic is still working well, so our defense has to keep up!"

"Don't look at the eight points ahead now, but these eight points are not very conservative, you know, if the attack is not serious in a few rounds, and they attack and counterattack, those waves will erase the point difference."

All the players nodded, and Coach Chris was right, even if Arizona State University has changed its offensive strategy, UCLA still can't underestimate their offensive ability.

"In the second half, we will strengthen the defense and keep the offense, and we will not keep this lead of eight points, but we will expand the lead of eight points, expand it to ten, or even eighteen points!"

"There is no faith!"

"Yes!"

“UCLA！”

"Never give up!"

……

At halftime, the second half officially began......

Meng Xiaohao and Sarid were pressed to the bench and played a whole first half, they had to rest, and now Meng Xiaohao and Sarid are UCLA's hole cards.

If the bench doesn't pull the score away, or is equalized by Arizona State University, Meng Xiaohao and Sarid are almost rested at this time, then they have the ability to play to save the disadvantage.

As expected by Coach Chris, Arizona State's bench lineup is also following the tactical strategy of the first half, but UCLA's bench lineup does not have the offensive diversity of the starting lineup, and the point difference is slowly erased.

Looking at the smaller and smaller point difference, Coach Chris sighed helplessly, the current UCLA, the bench lineup is still a weakness and has no depth, so every time after taking the lead, it is because the substitute lineup does not play well and is caught up by the opponent.

"Xiaohao, Sarid!" Coach Chris touched his chin, "Warm up, get ready to play when the next dead ball is played!" ”

Meng Xiaohao and Sarid nodded.

……

With 10 minutes left before the end of the game, an Arizona State offense was fouled and had to make two free throws, and Coach Chris made a substitution adjustment at this time.

Meng Xiaohao and Sarid are back on the field, and the starting players from Arizona State University are also back on the field.

Arizona State University hit both free throws to tie the score to just one point, and now, the momentum is on their side.

Meng Xiaohao's first attack after returning to the court was his own single breakthrough, Meng Xiaohao crossed and shook past the defenders, and rushed directly to the inside line to make a kill.

Seeing this, the center of Arizona State University immediately came up to make up for the defense, but Meng Xiaohao did not pass the ball to Sured, but forced a layup himself.

The referee's whistle blew, the defense fouled, the ball didn't go in, and two free throws.

Meng Xiaohao walked to the free throw line, threw the ball into the basket very easily, and scored two points to stabilize the situation.

In the next few rounds, UCLA, under the leadership of Meng Xiaohao and Sured, began to widen the score again, and the score difference gradually came to eight points.

Possession of the ball at UCLA.

Meng Xiaohao dribbled to the front court and passed the ball to Li, while he ran around the weak bottom corner.

Li is also quick and quick-eyed, and directly threw the ball to Meng Xiaohao.

The defenders of Arizona State University were very fast, and they ran in front of Meng Xiaohao the moment they received the ball.

Meng Xiaohao did not panic, and directly wanted to raise his hand to shoot, and the defenders wanted to go up and block when they saw that the situation was not good.

But unexpectedly, Meng Xiaohao's action was a feint, he directly lit up the defender, and then accelerated and rushed to the inside.

At this time, the center came up to make up for the defense, and Meng Xiaohao was fearless, and he made a layup against the center......

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle again, and the defense was fouled......

But the ball thrown by Meng Xiaohao bounced off the basket and bounced into the basket......

Two plus one!

At this time, the shouts of the UCLA arena have resounded in the sky, and Meng Xiaohao's return is the guarantee of UCLA's victory.

Meng Xiaohao calmly walked to the free throw line, and the MVP's shouts became louder and louder.

Meng Xiaohao smiled slightly, and easily threw the ball out, the ball went in, and two plus one was made.

At this time, UCLA has led Arizona State University by 11 points, and now all the conditions have come to UCLA's side, both by score and time.

In another round, Arizona State University made a mistake in teammate coordination during a positional battle, and there was a slight flaw in the pass.

But this little flaw was caught by Sabonis. He directly reached out and broke the ball, and Meng Xiaohao also rushed out with a "rub" when he saw this.

Sabonis did not hesitate and passed the ball to Meng Xiaohao, Meng Xiaohao made a one-handed dunk and dunked the ball into the basket, and the difference came to 13 points, three and a half points away from the end of the game.

Meng Xiaohao tightened the difference from one point to thirteen points in only six and a half minutes......

Arizona State University had no chance of winning at this point.

The head coach of Arizona State University sighed helplessly, held his forehead, and called a timeout, it seemed that he should have given up resistance.

He didn't expect Meng Xiaohao to be in such a good state, usually it takes a while for players to find their feel when they return from injury, but it seems that Meng Xiaohao doesn't want it, he just returned, and he felt like a lot.

Coach Chris looked at his players with a grin, he knew that UCLA won this game, but he still chose to let Savis play for a while, if Arizona State has the momentum to fight back, with Savis there, it can resist for a long time.

"Well done!" Coach Chris patted Meng Xiaohao on the shoulder, "The first game of recovery from injury is in full condition, it's really yours!" ”

Meng Xiaohao scratched the back of his head, "Basic operation, basic operation!" ”

After the timeout, the University of Arizona sent its own bench lineup, and looking at the stance, it had already given up, which made UCLA play well in the next three and a half minutes.

Arizona State University gave up the resistance, which meant the game was in garbage time......

As time passed, the game was over, and in the end, UCLA defeated Arizona State University by 15 points, and Meng Xiaohao returned to excellent form after injury.

At this time, UCLA has a bright future, but if they want to win the first place in the division, they still have a big mountain in front of them, that is, the University of Oregon, which has won all eight games.

But the people in UCLA didn't think about it so much, they are still immersed in the joy of victory, and Meng Xiaohao's return has greatly increased their strength, and it is not difficult to return to the top......

UCLA powerhouse returns, Pacific Division, start trembling, a wave of winning streaks is coming!
