The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 8 Crazy Buckle

Hearing the roar of cheers like a tsunami, the huge noise in the 7.2-person gymnasium made Li Ze a little excited.

Taking a deep breath, meditating in my heart that I am the boss, Li Ze entered the court with a calm face.

When the DJ called out Li Ze's name, UCLA fans cheered loudly.

For this player who had an outstanding performance last year and also performed amazingly in this year's championship, the supporters will certainly not be stingy with their voices.

Li Ze has a lot of fans, most of them are female fans, with sunny and handsome looks, three-dimensional and beautiful features, and his body is so good that many girls are greedy for his body.

Li Ze and his teammates clapped their hands one by one, and after America finished singing the fancy opening song, Ben finally began to tell his teammates.

"Let's take a look at the starting rosters of both sides. Sure enough, UCLA's inside players have not changed. It seems that UConn will take the lead!"

After Smith saw the starter, he went straight to the cannon.

"You should see UCLA's backcourt combination. With Collison and Holiday's defense, I don't think Price will organize the team's offense well. He will be strictly guarded."

Reggie Miller confronted.

With the on-site commentator talking, the game officially started.

"No suspense jump ball, haha, Thabeet is too high, I feel like I saw Yao." Smith began to brag to the star player.

"Height does not allow you to win the game, what basketball needs is to put the ball in the basket." Reggie Miller countered again.

"UConn's very simple play, Thabeet is going to be in place, wow, easy layup, I don't think he has a little interference!"

Smith exclaimed again, giving Tabbit a thumbs up.

"UCLA's defense is not in place. They shouldn't let the big man go to such a deep position to catch the ball!" Reggie Miller's comments hit the nail on the head.

Li Ze also discovered this. His inside teammates were too nervous when facing Thabeet, which led to the failure of defense this time and was easily scored.

The UConn cheerleaders were all in high spirits, screaming and cheering for their big man!
Li Ze gestured to Collison, indicating to play a conventional Spanish pick-and-roll tactic, with 35 seconds of attack time, they don't need to worry, a good start is conducive to the performance of teammates.

In the knockout round, the physical confrontation has been upgraded. If you lose, you will go home. No one wants to be a stepping stone for the opponent.

Li Ze began to use the inside toolman's off-ball cover to bounce outside. The quality of the cover was not high, and there was no direct opening after receiving the ball from outside the three-point line.

Lower the center of gravity, hold the ball in your left hand and break through instantly. After attracting the defender, pass the ball to Holiday, who then dribbles and hands it to Collison.

On the pick-and-roll screen at the 5th position, Thabeet did not choose to go out, but squatted to defend, which gave Collison a chance after the pick-and-roll.

Without hesitation, the three-pointer was shot directly.

"Kang" hit the iron, and the backcourt rebound was directly accepted by Thabeet.

"It's a good outside opportunity. Thabeet is under the basket. UCLA's outside line can attack this." Reggie Miller said with some regret.

The University of Connecticut's tactics are much simpler. If Thabeet is successful in positioning, he will directly pass the ball, and if not, start a pick and roll.

Price held the ball, and Thabeet came over to pick and roll. Although the quality was not high, it also successfully delayed Collison's defense.

Taking advantage of the lack of player rotation, he made a mid-range jumper and scored 2 points.

The little guard still has a few tricks, Collison gestured to his problem, and Li Ze clapped his hands to encourage his teammates.

The support team from the University of Connecticut had a lively atmosphere, and there were all kinds of shouts one after another. It is estimated that they bought a lot
Collison signaled his teammates to continue the same tactic, this time after Holiday picked and rolled a chance.

But after hesitating for a while, he chose to break through with the ball, facing the tall Thabeet, he was forced to stop the ball.

Li Ze quickly took the ball over, leaned against the defender, accelerated the dribble, and made an emergency stop in the middle distance. With his height and long arms, he ignored the interference.

"Brush" hollow into the net, scored the first point for UCLA.

The UCLA supporters in the stadium began to cheer. The team had a difficult start, but they were happy as long as they scored.

"Lee's beautiful mid-range, shooting posture is a bit like Michael, man, what do you think?" Smith took the opportunity to give Reggie Miller a whole lot of work.

"There is still a difference. I think it is more like me. UCLA's tactics have not succeeded. It can be seen that the boys are a little nervous."

Reggie Miller was engrossed in watching the game.

Thabeet once again succeeded in gaining a position, hung on the inside player to force himself, put the ball in directly, and got a chance to add a penalty.

"哐" missed a free throw, and Li Ze tried his best to protect the rebound. Fortunately, the big man's skills are very rough, otherwise he might have killed the game with a free throw.

Collison signaled his teammates to speed up the offensive rhythm, and directly accelerated to break through Thabeet after the pick-and-roll.

"Pa" didn't dodge even if he wanted to dodge, Thabeet successfully defended against the attack relying on his height advantage.

Price accelerated with the ball, switched offense and defense, made a one-stop breakthrough layup, and UConn scored another 2 points.

Looking at the situation on the court, the coach felt a little anxious. He couldn't score, and was rebounded by the opponent. The team's offense was limited to the position.

Can't play a quick transition offense, which is kind of bad.

Li Ze knows that the team needs to score first, so that his teammates can adapt to the situation on the field.

Through the off-ball cover of the inside players, Collison found Li Ze, slid the bottom line and made a backhand layup, avoiding the defense and scoring the ball.

"Excellent off-ball movement, Collison's passing is also very good, UCLA needs this kind of offense." Reggie Miller's bragging moment.

It's a pity that the University of Connecticut started their pick-and-roll tactics again and scored easily.

UCLA's offense was bang bang, and the backcourt rebounds were also robbed by Thabeet, allowing the opponent to start directly, and the score was 8-0.

At 7 minutes and 36 seconds of the first half, the coach called a timeout. The old man felt that his timeout was a bit late, and he lost rebounds continuously, which hurt the team too much.

"Rebounds, rebounds, we have to protect the rebounds, everyone must participate, Collison, Holiday, speed up the offensive rhythm! Off-ball screens must be in place, Kayce, attack firmly! Show energy! "

Ben began to growl to cheer up the players. In fact, everyone has done their best in rebounding. The strength of the team's substitute insiders is limited, but rotation is necessary. The main insiders must remain the same as Thabeet.

It is a pity that there is indeed a gap in the internal strength of the two sides.

Li Ze encouraged his teammates, "Oppress their ball holders, don't let them catch the ball comfortably, Holiday, show your skills, let go and be a brother!"

Holiday patted his chest to show that he understood that he had already begun to adapt to this noisy atmosphere.

After the timeout, UCLA's outside line began to increase the pressure on the ball holder, and at the same time speed up its own offensive rhythm.

In the transition between offense and defense, Li Ze received the ball from outside the three-point line and shot directly without hesitation.
The "swipe" ball went into the net hollow, and 3 points were credited.

Then the physical contact between the two sides began to increase, and the number of free throws also reached. They frequently stood on the free throw line, and UCLA approached the score.

With 28 seconds left in the first half, the coach indicated that the audience was pressing.

Holiday desperately pressed Plath who was holding the ball. Just after halftime, Price made a mistake and was intercepted face-to-face. After the steal, Holiday went straight to the opponent's basket.

Li Ze also began to accelerate at this time, he knew that as long as he ran in place, Holiday's ball would come.

The support team of UCLA has already cheered, and the situation of playing more and playing less can narrow the point difference again.

Holiday hit the ground and passed the ball during the march, Li Ze received the ball one step forward from the free throw line, took off with both feet, and flew directly to Thabeet.

Thabeet jumped up to block the block. After the two sides collided, Li Zekong avoided the palm of his left arm and dunked with one arm!
"Bang!" Li Ze beat his chest and roared after landing!At the same time, I felt a chill in my head.

"Crazy dunk, God, Li dunk killed Thabeet!" Smith yelled directly in the commentary booth!

The entire stadium was blown up! Everyone shouted excitedly.

At this time, the first half is over, 40 to 36, UCLA is temporarily behind, but the second half of the game is destined to be exciting.
