On April 7, local time, the Alamo Dome in San Antonio. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the UCLA team locker room, there was a tense atmosphere. Everyone sat in the center of the room, making final preparations and listening to the coach's tactical arrangements. They didn't have any clashes with Kansas during the warm-up period, after all, there were already spectators in the stadium when they first arrived at the stadium, and their every move would be exposed by the media to fans all over the United States. And trying to provoke your opponent by making small moves before the final will only reduce your own compulsion, not to mention that there is basically no significant effect. In the game related to who won the championship, both sides can only fight hard.

Holland glanced at Shipp with some concern, but the latter didn't react in particular, and still sat there silently arranging his knee pads. He took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Okay gentlemen, please pay attention to me, okay?" Now let me announce the starters for this game. Westbrook muttered under him, "Isn't it just the five of us?" Need to say it again solemnly? Could it be that it was because of the finals that he deliberately wanted to be more solemn? ”

Holland ignored his whining and said slowly, "Point guard, Russell Westbrook." "Most of the players have the same mindset as Westbrook and don't feel like there's anything in the starting line-up that needs to be read over again, and the first name seems to prove that. But soon Holland said, "Shooting guard, Bob Enrique." This stabbed the hornet's nest, and the whispers in the locker room suddenly became louder, and many players involuntarily looked at Ye Feng, Ye Feng was also surprised, but he could only shrug his shoulders to his teammates, saying that he didn't know anything.

Holland coughed lightly and sped up his speech: "Small forward, Ye Feng; power forward, Luke Richard Bamot; Center, Kevin Loew. "When the names of the last three starters are announced, it cannot be said that a hornet's nest has been stabbed, but an atomic bomb has been detonated in this small space! In this way, no one looked at Ye Feng, but focused on Shipp, everyone didn't expect that it was this veteran who had been in the team for four seasons who was deprived of starting, even if they didn't have credit but they also had hard work, such an important game was pressed on the bench, this is not appropriate, right?

Looking at everyone's weird eyes, Holland's old face turned red, and he was about to explain, but Shipp stood up first. He bowed deeply and pretended to be relaxed, "The coach discussed this matter with me, and he thought that my switch to the bench was very important for the victory over Kansas, so I accepted the arrangement." But just because I'm on the bench doesn't mean I won't kick you in the ass, if you act like a rookie on the pitch. Maybe I can play another year next year, but this year is the closest I've gotten to a championship in a few seasons. So I ask you to win this championship for the team! ”

Westbrook stood up without hesitation and said: "Don't worry, Josh, Kansas is strong, but we are not weak either, I think the coach must have a reason for letting Bob replace you, we will do our best to bring a championship to the team, your sacrifice is definitely worth it!" As soon as he took the lead, the rest of the team responded, "yes, trust us, we're going to kill Kansas!" "That's right, what is Kansas? We even killed the Memphis that defeated us, and we are still afraid of them? "This year's NCAA championship is definitely ours, don't think about the other teams!" Among all the players, Enrique was the loudest, after all, he was technically the starting XI leader, and it was necessary to take advantage of this time to show determination.

Shipp looked at his teammates and finally smiled. It was only then that he really accepted the fact that he was playing as a substitute, because from those young people, he saw the hope of winning the championship. In fact, he is not too old in terms of age, but the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the NCAA team will always belong to the young people, as for the old guys, they can give up their positions to the younger generations after they shine, so that the team will accumulate more fresh blood.

Holland clapped his hands, stopping the players from further turning their determination into a pledge meeting, and he still had some arrangements to talk about! After everyone quieted down, Holland said: "After removing Josh, we are equivalent to giving each of the opponent's strong points a comparable opponent, of course, Kevin's advantage on the inside is still incomparable, and I think the opponent's center has a certain disadvantage in defense." On top of that, Russell and Bob's backcourt will definitely have a fight against Chalmers and Rush, but judging from your performance, you may only be able to blow each other up rather than completely suppress them. Needless to say, Jackson and Arthur are both small forwards, and you don't have to suffer against any of them. ”

"So what I want to say is that in this game, we have to blossom together inside and outside, the inside line is given to Kevin, and the outside line is handed over to Ye. With the backcourt complete and Richard on the wings, the two of you have to take on the responsibility of building a siege for the team. Holland nodded at Ye Feng and Love, and continued: "Relatively speaking, maybe Kevin is a little easier, Arthur and Jackson, no matter who is against Ye, still have some defensive ability. I'm sure Ye can finish them off, but the initial offense should start from the inside, and everyone should try to leave the ball to Kevin to handle. ”

There is no opinion on the arrangement of the coach. Usually when they encounter problems, the coach asks everyone to give their opinions, and when it is time to be more serious, they still automatically and consciously play according to the coach's arrangement. Whether it works or not, at least it seems to be fine, and if it doesn't work out as expected during the game, the players will automatically adjust themselves on the field. But in fact, the biggest guarantee for them is that Ye Feng's participation in the offense has increased significantly, Holland will not let such a big killer just be the team's fixed-point shooter, he needs Ye Feng to use more of his scoring ability and ball control skills to bring substantial help to the team, which is also the fundamental reason why he believes in Ye Feng.

Ye Feng himself is not used to it, after all, he has been the player with the most shots and the highest score in the team in the last two years of high school, so it is okay to relive the feeling of leading the team alone to the world at that time. He had a vague hunch that the most critical point in this game may be himself, although Loew will not have too much pressure on the defensive end, but it is difficult to say on the offensive end. Kansas' starting center, Cowan, is a Russian, standard interior meat shield, and his substitute Aldridge is also a similar player, so it can be said that Kansas completely abandoned the offensive ability of the interior and adopted a lineup of one big and four small.

This is also the reason why Holland had to transfer Shipp out of the starter, put Enrique in, and then let Ye Feng and Bamot swing upward, which is also a big and four small lineup, and Kansas is completely-for-tat. It's not that Holland is unwilling to play other lineups, in fact, if he wants to play, UCLA's five-small lineup also has rich experience in cooperation, but in this way, it wastes Loew's super ability to finish the basket, which is equivalent to self-defeating martial arts, and this kind of loss-making deal Holland will definitely not do.

After explaining everything, there was not much time left until the game started. The players have long been dressed neatly, and their faces are a little flushed, and it is all false to say that they are not nervous or excited at this critical moment. However, their desire to fight is also unprecedentedly strong, and they all have flames in their eyes when they look at the University of Kansas, and their expressions are as if they want to tear each other apart completely. The players of the University of Kansas Jays were not good boys, and Chalmers, led by Chalmers, glared back fearlessly, and both sides held back their strength like cockfights, both trying to overwhelm each other before the opening kickoff. Ye Feng clenched his fists tightly, the meaning of the NCAA championship and the state championship in high school is completely different, according to his performance this season, if the team wins the championship, he will be 100% a high rookie in this year's draft.

After the two teams entered the field, the coaches of both sides hugged each other on the sidelines very graciously, uh...... Maybe it's okay to be fake, but the atmosphere of the game is definitely not as friendly as their expressions suggest. The two sides have met once before the warm-up invitational before the start of the season, but most of the teams in the invitational tournament are looking at the team's lineup and are not so obsessed with winning or losing, but in the final analysis, it was UCLA who won that game, so Self took the lead in starting to talk harshly.

He smiled and said, "Coach Holland, it was a surprise to see your team in the final. I think that through a season of running-in, the strength of your school should improve, but I have to regret to say that we are stronger than you, and the game before the season was just an inconsequential little fight. Hopefully the Bruins can do a little better and not make the audience bored. ”

Holland's eyes flashed with a cold light, the smile on his face did not decrease, but his voice suddenly became cold, and he said word by word: "My player performance is definitely quite good, it will be a good game." As for the result, only God knows! ”
