Chapter Forty-Seven: Little Jordan Bursts, and the Brown Bears Are in Crisis!

Texas A&M University, a world-class public research university and a well-known American public university system, was established in 1876 and is one of the world's top 100 universities and the first public university in Texas.

Many high-ranking American graduates have graduated here, and the famous George W. Bush Memorial Hall is located on the campus of A&M University.

Meanwhile, Texas A&M University, which is part of the Southeastern Conference, is also a second-round rival for the UCLA Bruins, who will compete for a spot in the Sweet Sixteen on March 22 at Honda Center in Anaheim.

Compared to the first game against the weak Mississippi Valley State University, the team's head coach Ben Holland's seriousness has risen several notches significantly.

Before the game, Lin Mu and others were specially pulled to do a detailed player analysis.

"Donald Sloan, a 6-foot-3" starting guard, has a strong body that can push defenders to complete layups, has a certain scoring means, and has decent organizational skills, and is a standard two-way guard."

But his shortcomings are also very obvious, the outside line crosshairs come and go, and they are often covered; Lack of defensive energy makes it difficult to mark fast point guards. ”

"As the outside core of A&M University, Donald Sloan's playing time must be very long, Russell and Darren have to play more aggressively, and don't give the opposite side any respite against Donald Sloan's defensive weak link!"

Ben Holland said with a serious expression to Wei Shao and Collison.

It's clear that UCLA will change lineup again for this game, with Darren Collison returning to the starting No. 1 position and Josh Shipp on the bench.

Lin Mu is extremely disapproving of Ben Holland's continuous substitutions, in Huaxia, changing generals on the spot is a taboo for soldiers, and when the team's strength allows, there is no need to adjust the starting candidates on the existing basis.

When Wei Shao came to the No. 1 position and Josh Shipp topped to the No. 2 position, UCLA was obviously able to play a more efficient three-dimensional offense, with a three-point shooter on the outside and an offensive strength on the inside.

Wouldn't it be better to wait until Josh Shipp's physical strength decreases and the opponent's physical strength also declines, and then replace Darren Collison with extremely strong impact ability?

You know, Darren Collison's breakthrough is indeed strong, but the weakness is equally obvious, you will target Donald Sloan, won't people target you Darren Collison?

The teams that can reach the top 32 are not fools, and the game between coaches and coaches cannot be summed up by 800 hearts.

In the case of abundant physical strength on both sides, Collison's offensive efficiency has not been high, when the offensive focus gradually tilts towards the front line and the inside line, Collison is more of an organizer, but obviously, in terms of organization, Wei Shao is stronger than him!

Unfortunately, he is not a head coach and is not qualified to line up, Ben Holland, as a conservative coach, in this kind of tournament, he still trusts the former ace players more than relies on changing the lineup to win.

The way to win is a safe way to win, and the old-fashioned personnel combination is ingrained in the thinking of the classical coaches, and most of them, except for a few who can keep up with the times, believe in the formula of the stadium that they once won games.

It's no wonder that UCLA has missed the NCAA championship for three consecutive years with a strong roster, and the reason may not be as simple as it appears on the court.

Under the premise of not being able to change the general environment, Lin Mu can only play harder, at least in his opinion, Texas A&M University does not pose much of a threat to the Bruins.

However, when March 22 came, the score at halftime greatly exceeded Lin Mu's expectations, and UCLA fell into an extremely passive scene!

At halftime, Ben Holland appeared in the lounge with a gloomy face, and the first half of UCLA was a disaster, with the Bruins playing a terrible start to the half with Love unable to attack, Collison being frantically taken care of, and Bamot being plagued by fouls.

On the other hand, Texas A&M University played an extremely tough performance under the subjective factor of lack of hard power, and Donald Sloan defeated Collison in a one-on-one battle, hitting many difficult shots, blowing the firm determination of A&M University to go down.

Not only that, the X factor of the University of Agriculture and Industry, the player Lin Mu was a little worried about before, and one of the overlords of the empty city in the future: Deandre Jordan broke out of his own small universe and played a phenomenal performance that can be called an explosive species!

That wasn't the case in previous lives, although at the start of the 2007-08 season, Deandre Jordan hit 16 goals in three games, breaking the 12-zone record held by Mickey Moore at the University of Nebraska in 1998.

But since then, Deandre Jordan's rough technical nature has been revealed, and he has gradually lost his main position, and it is even more difficult to get a chance to play in the knockout stage.

In the game against UCLA, Deandre Jordan came off the bench for 15 minutes against Kevin Love, but he was completely underdogged, scoring only 6 points and making 4 turnovers.

I thought that the little rough man Deandre Jordan would not have many dazzling performances, but the reality is completely the opposite!

Jordan Jr., who started the game, built an iron wall on the inside of Texas A&M University alone, relying on extremely outstanding physical talent to keep out UCLA's breakthroughs again and again, Wei Shao and Darren Collisson's continuous impact had no effect, and when the outside offense could not be opened, the opposing head coach Mark Turkin found the right time to cut off the connection between UCLA and the inside and outside in one fell swoop, forcing Love to stay away from the paint area and unable to get the basketball in a comfortable position.

Not only that, when Lefu wants to sink to the bottom one-on-one singles Little Jordan, there will always be opposing players to pinch the ball, passing is not Lefou's strength, in the case of Josh Shipp as a substitute, UCLA outside line does not have a stable shooting point, the opponent can unscrupulously shrink the inner line, as long as you dare to use the speed to break through, what awaits you is the spicy hot pot presented by Little Jordan!

After two defensive periods, how could little Jordan, who thought that he would only awaken in the Clippers, suddenly become so violent?

Lin Mu couldn't have imagined that when he was reborn as a member of UCLA, many teams were already studying the weaknesses of the Bruins day and night.

The conclusion reached by Texas A&M University is very simple, as long as Little Jordan plays extraordinarily, the A&M University, which has acceptable comprehensive strength, will be able to fight!

What's the best way to block the impact?

In 2008, an era that was still dominated by the inside line, when there was a strong big center in the team, the opponent was given a hundred guts, and he did not dare to hit the inside line unscrupulously.

Spicy hot pot is not so delicious!

Despite Jordan's rough technique, his 2.11-meter height, combined with excellent bounce and excellent reach, is more than capable of confined Willis and Collison to the paint zone.

In the case that the shot can't be opened, the breakthrough doesn't work, and the interior line can't attack effectively, there is not much time left for UCLA!
