Chapter 32: Metamorphosis

18 to 10.

After Xu Yong completed this dunk, the Devils pulled the score away again.

And I can clearly feel the momentum on the field, and I was also snatched back by the devil team.

Xu Yong's performance in this segment is crucial.

The pressure is back on the Bruins, or head coach Howland.

Haolan's expression was very serious at this time.

So far in the game, his active adjustment has not only not had the desired effect, but has handed over the initiative of the game.

It's a pity that he hasn't read "The Art of War", otherwise he should have understood the truth of "causing people but not people".

But at this point, it was useless to regret it, he was ruthless and made a decision that went against his original intention.

He turned around and called out to both Love and Collisson, who had just finished playing.

The sideline whistle blows, and Love and Collison come on at the same time.

Haolan sacrificed the ultimate Dafa of the coach: the main force of death!

This shows Howland's determination, UCLA have been in poor form lately and they need this win too badly to get back on their feet.

At times like these, he doesn't have time to scruple so much.

This trick can be described as a ruin, but the effect is also immediate.

UCLA's talent is undeniable, even if their recent form hasn't been too good, but the hard power is there.

In the first round after the substitution, Love hit a key three-pointer from the outside.

And after retreating to the defensive end, Love successfully blocked Albert's layup and protected the defensive rebound.

Then, the familiar quarterback made a long pass, and this time it was Collison who galloped to the front court for a layup to score two more points.

At this moment, a whistle blew on the sidelines, and Harden and Ayers came on the court.

Sandek's reaction wasn't actually slow, and he was already shouting at the two after Love hit that three-pointer.

In the blink of an eye, the difference was only 3 points.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The Poly Arena once again resounded with the shouts of the home fans.

The Devils were under a lot of pressure, but they quickly showed their improvement.

Harden and Ayers blocked and killed to the basket, and gave the ball to Xu Yong on the outside, Xu Yong shook off the defensive breakthrough to attract Love to defend and then split Ailes, who wiped the basket to end the offense.

What stands out for this round is a fluency.

The last time they met, the Devils' offense was more like a hammer deal for Harden, and he could open it if he burst in, and he couldn't finish it if he didn't break in.

But now there is Xu Yong as the second point of possession, which can not only share the defensive pressure of Harden, but also tear the opponent's defense continuously like just now.

Although it doesn't have the same mature system as the Bruins, the Devils' offense is also very disciplined and the improvement is visible to the naked eye.

And the change brought about by this improvement is that the Devils can score the ball on the offensive end and will no longer be constantly beaten back like they were in the last game.

Coupled with their defensive efforts, the two sides entered a stalemate.

And this stalemate has brought about the fact that the two sides dare not easily change people.

The main players are always on the field, and the physical consumption is very large.

The NCAA whistle blows looser than the NBA, don't look at the game is only 40 minutes, but the confrontation consumption is not small, plus the physical fitness of students is not as good as that of professional players, the game played in the second half, and slowly shifted from offensive to defensive warfare, from technical tactics to willpower competition.

Seven minutes were left before the end of the game, the score was tied at 41, and there had been nearly four minutes without scoring on the field.

During the Devils' timeout round, the players were panting violently.

Harden, in particular, looked like he was overdrawn from his kidneys, although his dark face couldn't be seen as pale.

"Are you alright?" Xu Yong was concerned that Harden's physical fitness was not very good, and he still knew something before he was reborn.

"James, you get off the court and take a break." Sandek also noticed and said to Harden.

"I can still hold on." Harden blurted out that now at the critical moment, the side that makes the first substitution will immediately fall into a disadvantage.

Just look at the start of the Bruins, there are only a few NCAA teams that can play on each team.

Sandike looked at Harden when he heard this, and then realized that Harden in front of him has changed a lot from when he first came to the team.

Even compared with the last time they met, if it was Harden at that time, there was a high probability that he would still choose to back down.

The timeout came back and the game continued.

Xu Yong began to attack more with the ball.

After the physical fitness of the players on both sides was sharply depleted, and even bottomed out, Xu Yong's physical advantage began to be revealed.

After a change of direction directly past Bamot, his breakthrough attracted multiple people to help the defense.

And after sensing that Harden had an opportunity, he quickly distributed the ball.

After receiving the ball, Harden saw Westbrook pounce on him, a fake shake, and a steady shot from mid-range with the ball.

Although his physical strength was exhausted, his gaze was unusually determined.

"Huh!"

Basketball hollow pocket.

There was a lot of turmoil on the pitch, and it was the first goal in nearly five minutes on the pitch, which was very crucial.

And after retreating to the defensive end, it was Harden again, who misplaced the opposite Lefou, and was stunned to interfere and destroy Lefou's offense.

In the stands, DeRozan's expression was stunned.

Harden naturally understands it as his junior, but the toughness shown by Harden's offense and defense just now, or the desire to win, made him a little unrecognizable.

In less than a year in Tempe, Harden has changed so much, no, it is a transformation, which is really incredible.

At this time, Willis on the side was even more ruddy.

When Harden said about growing a beard yesterday, she just smiled indifferently and thought it was child's play.

But seeing her son's willpower on the field today, she knows that her son has really grown up and matured.

Then she unconsciously looked at Xu Yong, although Xu Yong did not answer her question positively yesterday, but not denying it was acquiescing, her son's transformation is inseparable from this new friend.

The game on the court continued, and after the intense consumption of physical energy, the Bruins also made mistakes in passing and cutting, and Xu Yong made a quick break directly after completing the steal this time.

The Bruins showed top tactical literacy, although they made mistakes, although they had a lot of physical exertion, but all five of them retreated at the first time, and even the distance between their respective positions in the retreat was about the same.

The essence of the ten champions is vividly displayed at this moment.

Seeing this, Xu Yong took the initiative to slow down a little, and then suddenly accelerated again when he passed the middle circle.

This is slow and fast, and the players of the Bruins are already very tired and some can't keep up with the rhythm.

Xu Yong seized the opportunity to quickly go straight to the basket from the side, entered the three-point line and took two big steps, then pulled the ball high with his right hand and took off directly into the air.

Love is the furthest in UCLA's passing position, and when he retreats, he is the first to go to the backcourt.

After seeing Xu Yong's intentions, he jumped almost at the same time, and his right hand stretched out hard to press Xu Yong's dunk directly to the rebound.

As Xu Yong and Harden saw when they "spying on the military" a month ago, don't look at him fat, but he can jump.

And he jumped up and faced Xu Yong's front, and the difficulty of Xu Yong's dunk went straight to a step.

Unless, Xu Yong gave up the dunk and changed to a lever.

Xu Yong's choice is to face Lefu's strong buckle!

After seeing Lefou, he directly glided in the air for a while, waiting for Lefou's blocked men to fall behind......

"Bang!"

Hit the ball into the basket again .gif!

History: Forever see the blessing of the cover, ride the horse and the blessing in the enemy's formation, behead its head, the generals can not be the one!

The last time Xu Yong fought against Lefou, he wanted to block Lefou, but in the end he couldn't do it, and then, he did it today!

The fans froze.

The scouts were dumbfounded, too.

Xu Yong's bounce, no, this is in the air, no, this physical fitness, this ......

The first person to come back to his senses was already preparing to collect more information related to Xu Yong.

If they only knew that there was such a person as Xu Yong before, but now, they really have a great interest in Xu Yong!

Holan glanced up at the score at this point.

45 to 41.

In such a high-intensity game, the past wave of 4-0 offensive is enough to decide the outcome of the game.

He let out a long sigh.

He didn't regret his pre-game adjustments, but marveled at the changes in the Devils.

This former belly team is about to be their toughest opponent in the Pac10 league this season!

In the end, the score on the court was finally fixed at 48-43.

After a fierce battle and even a bloody battle, the Devils finally became the winner of this battle of focus.

Harden was so tired that he sat on the ground at this time, and Xu Yong walked over to help him up from the ground after seeing it.

Harden collapsed in Xu Yong's arms.

"Devils! Devils Team! ”

The substitutes rushed to their side and shouted the slogans of the Devils.

Xu Yong also had a smile on his face at this time.

While winning or losing a game doesn't mean they're better than UCLA, they have proven what they're capable of.

They are also a team that can compete with strong teams!
