Ye Feng still thought about things a little simply. Where is the www.biquge.info team facing a tough battle? Judging by the situation on the field, there is a good chance that they will suffer their first defeat of the season in Ames City!

Even though Westbrook came on in the last two minutes, UCLA still didn't improve, and he could only rely on him to support himself. Fortunately, Collison still continued his fiery touch, and Westbrook did not fight alone on the court. However, it is impossible for him alone to keep the score close, even if he can prevent Peterson or Galette, the remaining three will be big and small when they meet him, and scoring will be easy for them.

In the end, Westbrook and Collison scored back-to-back points to prevent the score from pulling the score any further, and at the end of the first half, UCLA trailed by 15 points at 45-60. At halftime, everyone in UCLA had a bad look on their faces, and although Iowa State University did not belong to the same division as themselves, and their record against them would not normally have an impact on the competition for the division title, no one wanted their unbeaten streak to be broken like this, especially against such a team without stars.

But now they can't think about it, it's a fact that the team has to face. Holland's look was very grim, but he still took the tactics board to lay out the tactics for the players in the second half. The black three minutes of the first half made him realize that he could no longer easily put Westbrook and Loew off the court, and that they might not be able to win on the court, but if they didn't play, they would definitely suffer a defeat.

While writing and drawing on the tactical board, Holland said loudly: "In the second half, we will continue to play around Russell and Kevin, Richard and Josh, you two should intersperse and run more on the inside, and don't give the opponent a chance to pinch Kevin." Michael, even though you're not very accurate with three-pointers when you're being marked, you have to run more on the perimeter without the ball, find the space to shoot, Russell will get the ball to you in time, and the only thing you have to do is shoot the damn ball to the basket for me. ”

And all the people shouted yes. As Holland explained his tactics, everyone took the opportunity to rest, especially Westbrook, who gulped down a sports drink and was almost completely soaking wet with a towel. The pressure on him was really high in this game, the opponent's movement was very rigorous, and the tactical coordination was quite good, and he had to look for the opponent's flaws while taking into account his individual attack. And as the captain of the team, in the case that Ye Feng can't play, all the pressure is piled on him alone, and if the team loses, the spearhead of public opinion will be aimed at him.

Holland talked about a few points that need to be paid attention to, then signaled everyone to replenish their energy, and instructed the team doctor Marshall to massage a few players who were fighting harder. Looking at the lonely looks of the players, Holland sighed secretly: the twenty minutes of the second half will be more difficult than the first half, although the hope of victory is very slim, they must also shed the last drop of blood on the field!

As the fifteen-minute break was about to pass, Holland looked at his watch, strode to the middle of the locker room, and said loudly, "I know everyone is very aggrieved now, and to be honest, I am more aggrieved than you are by being oppressed like this by the Iowa state." But that's not a reason for us to raise our hands and surrender! Gentlemen, it's time for you to give it a go, I don't think anyone wants our undefeated run to end here, right? Iowa State is a respectable opponent and I don't know the final outcome, but we have to put in our best performance to defend our glory! ”

Holland's words suddenly enlivened the dull atmosphere in the entire locker room, and the eyes of Westbrook, a militant, seemed to have flames beating, and everyone else was screaming, eager to go out and fight their opponents to the death immediately. Seeing that everyone was a little more excited, Holland nodded approvingly: instead of surrendering directly, it is better to fight vigorously!

When the players were ready to enter, Ye Feng deliberately pulled Westbrook to the back. Westbrook was a little confused, and he looked at Ye Feng with inquiring eyes. Ye Feng whispered: "Russell, have you ever thought about why the other party's coach never dared to remove all the starters, but at least left three or four people on the field?" ”

Westbrook shook his head, he did find it strange, but he didn't think much about it, and the situation on the team didn't give him time to think about it. But Ye Feng has been sitting on the sidelines, it can be said that he is a bystander, Westbrook's eyes lit up, and urged: "Ye, you must know why, tell me quickly, time waits for no one!" ”

The corners of Ye Feng's mouth raised slightly, and he said word by word: "It's not just us who have a lot of pressure in this game. Westbrook groaned and smiled, "I know what you're trying to say, thanks, I'll take advantage of that later." Ye Feng also laughed and patted Westbrook's shoulder hard.

After the start of the second half, the ball was on the UCLA side, and Westbrook dribbled across the half court while carefully thinking about what Ye Feng had just said. Obviously, Ye Feng can see that Iowa State is also very nervous, even if they are leading by fifteen points, but many times the instant outburst of stars can change the outcome of a game, they are afraid that Westbrook or Loew will suddenly score consecutive points to directly lead the team to equalize or even overtake, but at this time their nervous psychology can be exploited.

The team was still down by a big score, but Westbrook was not in a hurry, he found an angle to pass the ball to Loew, and he began to run empty-handed. Loew sat back, but Hubalek was solid and didn't retreat from Loew's hard top, while Blagins on the other side was ready to help. Loew hesitated for a moment, he didn't find a good spot, but if he continued to hold the ball, he would definitely be trapped.

But at this time, Westbrook suddenly got to the free throw line. After passing the ball to Loew, he ran along the baseline to the weak side and cut diagonally into the middle with Shipp's off-ball screen. Loew was overjoyed and stuffed the ball directly to Westbrook. The defenders also reacted very quickly, Brightins gave up Loew, turned and rushed towards Westbrook, while Wesley, who was defending Bamot on the other side, had also arrived, and the two were one in front and one on the side, forming an airtight encirclement, and UCLA's offensive opportunities were gone.

Westbrook was not the slightest fear, which was expected by him, and it could even be said that he had caused this situation. Faced with the two-man bag, Westbrook took a step and pulled straight away, the shooting position was already set, and almost at the same time, Wesley and Blings also jumped up, doing their best to interfere with the shot.

"Beep!" The whistle blew, but the basketball still stubbornly crossed a somewhat distorted arc in the whistle, bounced twice on the basket, and slowly rolled into the basket, and the referee signaled that the goal was valid and that a penalty would be added. That's right, that's Westbrook's response: make fouls.

As the Iowa State players are equally nervous, that means they are very sensitive to the moves of the two star players, Westbrook and Loew, and will overreact a bit to prevent them from scoring. Westbrook took advantage of this mentality to resolutely deal with the double bag and cause damage. As for playing 2+1, it was just incidental, his original intention was just to get the opponent into foul trouble, and this goal was a surprise.

Westbrook calmly stepped onto the free-throw line. "Huh!" The basketball penetrated the basket again. Although his shooting is a bit nerve-free, as a very impactful point guard, free throws are a basic skill, and this time he didn't waste the opportunity, and the difference returned to 12 points.

In the next round, UCLA's five players defended desperately at all costs, and the tactical coordination was as strong as the Iowa State University did not find a good opportunity, and it seemed that every hole was blocked by the opponent. In the end, Wesley's reluctant three-point shot from the outside smashed directly to the back of the basket, Loew blocked the opponent's interior with his body, and Westbrook took the rebound with his own passing bounce.

This time, UCLA's point of attack was replaced by Loew. Loew, who has very solid interior skills, received the ball in the elbow area, and after turning to the frame, he actually played the guard tricks, and after two crotch dribbles, he broke through Hubalek. And when Blings made up for the defense, Loew's continuous turns and feints completely stunned the opponent, and Hubalek, who came back to his senses, was fooled when Loew made a shooting feint and slapped Loew's arm. However, Loew didn't have the same quick reaction time as Westbrook before, and only made two free throws.

After two free throws and two hits, the difference was finally reduced to 10 points. O'Neal quickly called a timeout, he didn't expect UCLA to seize the opportunity to cause defensive fouls on his own players in a row, so that the team's five starters would be difficult to stay on the court for too long due to the excessive number of fouls. He said to himself, "Then I will treat others the way they do." So he quickly took out the tactics board and drew tactics for the players.

The UCLA bench was swept away, and everyone had a smile on their faces. Holland complimented: "Russell, Kevin, you two are very good, you can even think of using such a method to pursue, it seems that you have been able to judge the situation for yourself on the court, which is very good." ”

Westbrook smiled awkwardly and said, "Coach, Kevin and I don't dare to take this credit." Kevin used his feet to play the opposite side is right, but it was Ye ...... who analyzed the opponent's psychology and made the two of us make the opponent foul."

Suddenly, everyone looked at Ye Feng, who was sitting on the side wrapped in a coat. Ye Feng smiled and said, "I'm just a bystander, now it seems that this method works very well, doesn't it?" ”

Holland nodded: "This method is indeed feasible, and if the other party does not make an obvious response, the two of you will continue to make each other foul, understand?" ”

“YesSir！” Westbrook and Loew replied loudly.
