Chapter 207: Dissatisfied Larson
Tennessee was a little silent in March Madness, and our fans began to complain, look at the group of lads on the court, although some changes were made after the timeout came back, but because of the low shooting percentage, Tennessee small forward Tobias Harris did well, hitting two shots in a row from the free throw line, but that didn't help the team pull the score away!
Winnie the Pooh has completely become a passing tool today, and began to consciously hand the ball to Malcolm and Honeycuter when and Gordon hit the iron continuously, and these two people did not live up to the expectations of the big guys, and turned the pass into an assist!
Until the 8th minute of the first half of the game, the two sides have fought to 12:12, which is not high for the two teams that have a chance to impact the round of 16, and the two sides are drawn.
Finally, Larson made a change, replacing the Iron King with backup power forward Brendan, while Gordon Hero still sat under the basket, Michael Rohr replaced Honeycutter, and Luo Yun and Malcolm remained on the court!
Obviously, the white old man wants to make UCLA blossom on and off the court, as far as UCLA's starting lineup is concerned, and Gordon heroes can be described as two Optimus Prime on the inside, when there is a large gap in strength with the opponent's inside, you can use your body to eat the opponent hard, and blow up the opponent's inside line at the first time, but ULCA's intelligence is wrong, although the strength of Tennessee's No. 4 and 5 positions is average, but it has not yet reached the point of being ravaged, and the footsteps of the inside line have improved in recent times, But the hand jishu is too rough. In Rohr's words, this guy certainly hasn't jerked off. Otherwise, the hand-to-hand work should be very good!
At this moment, the replacement of Brendan as a backup power forward is to increase UCLA's deterrence near the free throw line. The appearance of Rohr is to limit the opponent's small forward Tobias Harris more haode, and he can also appear next to his teammates as quickly as possible when assisting in defense, after all, the word "elusive" is not given for nothing, Michael Rohr has this strength!
Back to the game, Winnie the Pooh dribbled the ball quickly, and when he came to the three-point line, he found that Brendan had pulled to the outside line and was ready to make a wall, and now they are like Luo Yun and Touqing in their freshman year, but Brendan's strength is obviously much stronger than the latter. A tacit look knows what to do!
Pick-and-roll!
This is always the best weapon to tear apart the opponent's defense, and at this moment, Winnie the Pooh is even more handy, holding the ball into the inside, and Brendan also blocked the PG Melvin Goens who defended Loyun at the first time!
"Stinky boy, your whole team is the Blacksmith King, are you going to be a savior now?" Small forward Harris sneered, in his opinion, this guy is not Winnie the Pooh at all, but a bit like a monkey jumping up and down, although the basketball court relies on jishu, but sometimes physical strength is the capital of the revolution!
Luo Yun was noncommittal. One turned past the other, and Harris hurried up to disrupt his attack. However, at this moment, the Gordon Hero suddenly gave up the basket and blocked it in front of Harris, and at this moment, Winnie the Pooh will face the center Brian Williams directly!
Is it a layup or a pass? That's the only thing Brian thinks about right now, and in the footage they've watched, whenever Winnie the Pooh rushes to the basket, there's no pattern in passing and shooting, which makes Loyun the only one in UCLA who can't figure it out, because this guy is a ticking time bomb that could shoot you in the back of your ass at any moment!
Turning around, Luo Yun's movements were as smooth as mercury, and when he detoured behind Brian, the little guy jumped directly, indicating a shot!
"Winnie the Pooh layup!" Ricardo shouted, and Reinado, the power forward who was swimming near the free throw line at the moment, immediately turned back to the basket, but he chose a clever route, just blocking the passing path of Luo Yun and Brendan, which made Luo Yun suddenly fall into a situation of being attacked on both sides, and also destroyed the possibility of Winnie the Pooh passing the ball to Brendan!
After all, this guy always changes his attention in the air, which makes people unguardable!
However, the next scene suddenly made the Tennessee players feel an urge to die, only to see that the moment Luo Yun rose into the air, Michael Rohr from the top of the three-point arc into the left bottom corner, and at this time Reinado also rushed to the basket and blocked Luo Yun with Brian!
"Pass!" The fans in the audience exclaimed, it was still a pass, this guy didn't plan to go to the basket in the first place!
"Winnie the Pooh is a heinous liar!" The coach of Tennessee was so angry on the sidelines that he scolded his mother, but what can he do!
I could only watch as Luo Yun threw the basketball back of his head and fell into the hands of Rohr!
But at the moment when Rohr received the ball, Scottie Hopson, the scoring guard who was marking him, immediately rushed over, stretched out a palm to block the opponent's shot, according to the traditional tactics and Rohr's information, he is bound to choose to shoot at the first time when he receives the ball, after all, Rohr's catch-and-shoot shot is very high, and this is in the bottom corner of the three-point area, Scottie can't think of any changes in UCLA at all!
But his good self-feeling made the next scene appear in front of the audience, and it became the biggest laughing stock of this game!
After receiving the ball, Rohr saw Scotty's big hand, but the big guy who passed the ball to him actually winked at him, and for a while, Rohr felt that his head was not enough, the big guy was really a big guy, and even the pass was so obscene!
"Smack!"
I saw that Rohr didn't shoot at all and slapped the basketball directly to the floor in front of him, while Scotty, who was defending in front of him, felt a cool breeze blowing under his crotch, and his body was instantly numb!
The audience was in an uproar, no one could have imagined that Rohr would give the ball back to Winnie the Pooh in this way, wearing the crotch, what a hatred!
However, the next scene also completely demonstrated Winnie the Pooh's control and adaptability on the court, of course, the time in the middle of the game was very short, almost a blink of an eye, but it was still seen by Reinado under the basket, Luo Yun also ran out after taking the ball, and at this time the situation on the court was getting more and more chaotic, the big man obviously forgot his original intention and found Winnie the Pooh directly, but the result was probably predictable!
"Smack!" It's another ground-hitting backpass, and there is no trace of mud and water behind the small family, because he yearns to run, so the backward pass can only be to return to the inside, and at this moment the goal of basketball is the Brendan who is out of defense!
Layups!
A beautiful turn to bypass center Bryan Williams and shoot straight away!
"Bang!"
The piercing sound of striking iron instantly poured cold on the team members, damn Brendan, he let all the cooperation go to waste!
However, just when everyone thought that UCLA's offense had failed, a black figure suddenly entered from the side, and the burly body shrouded the opponent's center Brian like a dark cloud, and then saw a big hand stretching out from the black shadow and pressing the basketball into the basket like lightning!
"Bang dang!"
The basket screams, the hand of the dunk!
And the black shadow that came out of nowhere gradually became clear!
"Gru Gordon~"
With the elongated tail sound of the live DJ, the entire Tennessee Arena was also detonated in an instant!
"Beautiful, this is the most beautiful goal I've seen in March Madness! Damn bastards, I love you guys to death! Ricciardo roared at the first moment, and the crowd did not boo again, but gave their opponents the most enthusiastic cheers!
Obviously, UCLA's tacit understanding has exceeded everyone's expectations, and this kind of cooperation is amazing, but also makes the opponent fearful!
But Luo Yun's face is also a little gloomy, if there are fans who observe carefully, they will find that Larsson sitting on the sidelines is the same, weishenme, there are too many passes!
Although the ball was beautiful just now, Larsson did not hesitate to give the players on the field a failing grade, although the execution of tactics is always necessary, but it must be converted into effective points to achieve the goal!
Winnie the Pooh's head is good, but it is drilled on offense, and it is not that the more complex the tactics on the court, the higher the success rate, on the contrary, those simple and direct cooperation are the most suitable, the ball just now is actually in the hands of Brendan It is already the end point of the offense, but this guy has a layup, if it weren't for Gordon's success in Zuihou's dunk, this offense would have been a complete failure!
However, there is one thing that Luo Yun did well, and that is that he lured Reinado away from the basket and then passed the ball to Brendan! In this way, UCLA has formed a two-on-one state on the inside, and the success rate has been greatly improved!
But this kind of offensive method is obviously not advisable, because as long as there is a mistake in one of these links, it will be no fun, just like what will happen if Rohr's crotch piercing fails, once it hits Scotty's birdie, it is a little scary to think about it!
Therefore, the simplest tactic is also the most practical tactic, and I hope that there will be a scene like the one just now in the next game, otherwise Larsson will really go berserk!
Obviously, our little guy also realized this problem at the first time, and in the next offense, he began to play and dismantle frequently with Brendan, and Tennessee also began to use small forward Harris and scoring guard Scotty to frequently impact the inside, and the offense of both sides has also accelerated significantly, although the shooting rate is still not high, but it is still steadily improving!
Finally, in the 12th minute of the first half, the two sides had fought to 22:18, and UCLA led by 4 points!
"Alright, boy, we need to give Tennessee some excitement and let them see what UCLA is really capable of!" Larsson called a timeout, looked at the players who came off the field and smiled! Damn old man, he's going to be bad again! (To be continued......)
