Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Inside Line Opens the Hu

Neither Holland nor Calipari did anything new in the lineup, starting with the same five guys from the regular season. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But Calipari didn't expect that Holland had jumped out of the trap of the outside line, but played the inside first, you must know that this has basically not appeared in all the games of UCLA this season, playing Beasley once, but that is because the players decided to help Loew brush a league's No. 1 interior line, and it was not a tactical arrangement that the head coach prepared from the beginning. It can be said that the Memphis University Tigers are the first team in the entire NCAA to try the complete strength of the Bruins inside.

As the team's starting centre-forward, Loew fought hard from the start. In the face of Dorsey's "black and hard", he squeezed the opponent in mid-air and directly dialed the basketball in the direction of Westbrook, who also got the ball steadily, and then slowly dribbled to the front court. Of course, Westbrook doesn't want to be slow, and with his fiery temperament, it's okay if he doesn't jump straight to the basket. But this time the team has to play the inside first, and it is only the first round of the opening game, and it is not good for him to do something that ignores the overall situation, so he can only suppress his speed and wait for the inside line to fall into a good position before starting to attack.

Westbrook is not very cool, but Ye Feng feels good, because although the current tactics are not the most original inside-out, if the inside line really has no chance, the ball will still be passed out, and he is now standing leisurely in the bottom left corner, occasionally running and running according to the situation on the court. But at the end of the day, it's so effortless, and it also takes away Rose, the Tigers' strongest outside defender, which doesn't feel too cool. Bamot also felt very happy, Rose himself followed Ye Feng, he was playing against the relatively weak Dozir in the opposite formation, and he also saved a lot of energy, and he couldn't wait to shout "Thank you, Lord Longen".

Loew and Shipp don't have that many ideas, their only thought is to play well for the team. Loew stood near the free-throw line, while Shipp was free from the left elbow, ready to catch the ball. Now it is Roberts who is defending Westbrook, this white guy has a good shooting level, but when it comes to defense, he has to be blind, and at this time, in the face of a violent point guard like Westbrook, he can only go up and interfere, and it is absolutely impossible for him to completely suppress the opponent. Westbrook didn't feel any pressure at all, and gave the ball to Loew with a small change of direction.

Loew didn't dribble after receiving the ball, but just stood there and passed the ball with one hand. Westbrook and Ye Feng hurriedly started to run outside the three-point line, attracting the defense of Rose and Roberts, as for Dozel, as the team's starters, the strength is either the first or the second from the bottom, just stay out of the system with Bamot. When the outer line has opened up the space, the inner line seems empty. Because Dorsey has more rim protection than Taggett, it is the latter who pulls up the high post to defend Loew closely, while Dorsey is safe under the basket.

Who is Taggart? An all-blue-collar player who averaged 5.9 points and 4.2 rebounds per game in the regular season this season, his stats are many levels worse than Loew's double-doubles per game. In the face of his defense, Loew turned directly and stuck him behind him, and the whole person directly faced the basket. This is Dorsey can't help it, and Loew's mid-range is not easy to mess with, so he can only leave the basket and come up to help defend. As a result, Shipp was empty, and Loew took advantage of Dorsey's bag to pass the ball directly from the back of his head, and Shipp received the ball steadily, and there was no one within two meters of him.

That can't be helped, Loew held back the two insiders, and the other three took three people away from the three-point line one-on-one, so Shipp was only let go. He didn't waste a chance either, helping Loew brush up an assist. Calipari's eyes were straight on the sidelines, he always thought it was just an inside-out tactic, the Terminator was still on the outside, but the Bruins made him confused in this round, what kind of interior line do you play? Guarding such a strong backcourt combination and not playing on the outside? But he soon woke up: Nima's inner line is not bad, one Loew can top two!

The Tigers didn't care so much about the players on the field, they just felt offended, and now all they have to do is hit back hard and let the other side know that they are good. Dorsey didn't grind, and he wasn't even affected by the goal just now, even though a large part of the responsibility for that goal was on his head, but he quickly stabilized his mood and turned to serve the ball. The Tigers still gave the ball to Rose, and Rose did not control the ball as gently as Westbrook, you must know that the Tigers' tactics are guard-oriented, and the center just grabs the rebound.

But this time it was not Westbrook, or even Ye Feng, it was Prince Bamot of Cameroon. Whether it is height, weight or arm span, Bamot has all advantages, and even in terms of movement speed, he does not suffer. What's more, as the team's number one outside defender, Bamot has a lot of experience, and some small moves have not been noticed by the referee. Under Bamot's close defense, Rose felt very uncomfortable, not to mention whether he could play the ball smoothly, even the ball in his hand felt a little dangerous, as if he could be directly stolen at any time. But Bamot is also miserable, this guy's man-ball combination ability is too strong, and he is full of feints, if the feints have no effect, he will forcibly rely on changing direction to gain space, and his own pressure is also very high, okay?

Bamot's defense is very strong, yes, but Rose itself is a fucked attribute that gets stronger and stronger, and in the face of Bamot's close defense, Rose almost showed 12% of his strength. This blow was unbearable, and Rose used a continuous change of direction to shake him and rush into the interior like a sports car. Love's face changed, he didn't expect Bamot to be able to lock Rose, and let the other party burst in directly, but now there is no way to complain, blocking this opening is the right thing. So Loew didn't hesitate to let go of his defender and turned to defend Rose.

Loew's defense isn't great, but it's barely average, and his height and pace have a big impact on Rose, making it difficult to find a good spot if he's covered, let alone attacking directly. However, Rose was very old as a freshman, and he made a small throw directly when Loew was still one step away from him, which made Loew's defense useless. Although Rose scored, Loew was not frustrated, which was expected before the game began, after all, the opponent has the name of the NCAA's No. 1 point guard, how can it be so easy to defend him?

Loew doesn't care about the other people, let alone the others, it's just the beginning, it doesn't matter. Westbrook still dribbled the ball slowly, but this time he made a more complicated one, calling Bamot to come over and do a pick-and-roll. Of course he didn't dare to call Ye Feng, if Ye Feng came to block and dismantle, after changing the defense, he would become Ross who defended him, and a fool would do this kind of loss-making business. Facing Dozil Westbrook was not as easy as facing Roberts, after all, the opponent was a small forward, but it didn't matter, Westbrook forced the opponent to the three-point line.

This stabbed the hornet's nest, Westbrook didn't know that his lethality was also at the level of a weapon of mass destruction, not only Dozir was nervous, but the two on the inside were also nervous, Dorsey and Taggart glanced at each other, and decided that the latter would go up, and the former would continue to guard the basket. But there was another gap, and Loew immediately pulled out of the basket and appeared in the gap. Westbrook saw the ball quickly and quickly passed the ball to Loew, who hit it with ease, and Dorsey, who was just about to come out of the basket, was so black that he could squeeze out the ink. At this time, he even wanted to ask Cang Tian speechlessly: I am especially a defensive insider! So many opponents who can shoot are going to die? Isn't this a forcible slap in the face? Wouldn't it be all my fault if I lost?

It is not known if it will be lost, but it is clear that Dorsey suffered greatly for the next 10 minutes. He couldn't understand why the Bruins came up with a completely different routine than the last time they played and started to play inside. You must know that the shooting percentage of the inside line is far higher than that of the outside line, and the closer the opponent is to the basket, the easier it is to score. On the other hand, they are not scoring masters on the inside, and the reason why they can brush up points is to rely on secondary offense or something, which is not comparable to the two interior lines of the Bruins who can dominate the ball and attack on their own.

Jokes, if you fight like last time, you might lose again! Loew and Shipp quickly gained the upper hand on the inside, forcing the Tigers to get on every catch. When the outside line also began to selectively enter the interior to help the defense, Holland shouted from the sidelines, signaling that it was time to move on to the next stage. Of course, the Tigers don't know what he's going to do, but the Bruins players do, and that's enough. It's clear that Loew and Shipp have forced the opposition to face up to their team's advantage on the inside, and they also have to send players forward to pack up so that the outside can get opportunities through continuous coverage and running, and the offensive ability of the backcourt combination of Westbrook and Ye Feng is not vegetarian.

Hearing the coach's instructions on the sidelines, Westbrook glanced at Ye Feng with a smile, and everyone knew the subtext: "Then it's time for the two of us to show our talents, this time I must kill Rose and let him know that beating us in the regular season was just an accident!" Ye Feng shook his head and mouth-tossed at him word by word: "Don't drop the chain!" ”
