The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 42
What are you most afraid of playing basketball?
I am most afraid that the opponent will continue to be in a state of madness, and often such a wave can determine the outcome of the game.

Chen Mo's back button greatly boosted UCLA's morale, but it was instantly extinguished by Hinrich.

What is even more unexpected is that Hinrich's state is so good that it is unimaginable.

A head-on three-point shot, a two-plus-one that has lost its focus in the confrontation, and a casual throw at the last moment...

After finally finding a way to limit Collison, Hinrich broke out again.

If this is the case, it is not unacceptable. After all, it is not so easy for these two NCAA stars to completely defend themselves.

Facing such two stars is already very difficult, but the house leak happens to rain all night.

The sudden outbursts of Aaron Mills and Langford caught UCLA by surprise.

Throughout the first half, Aaron and Langford made 6 of 4 three-pointers and jointly scored 17 points.

You know, Chen Mo has blocked Langford's shots several times, and Langford, who was forced to change his shot method, still scored the ball.

If it's just a fairy ball, it's understandable, but it's not just a ball.

Plus Nick Collison's steady play of 16 points, and Hinrich's 13 points.

Throughout the first half, the University of Kansas led 56:41, and the 15-point advantage was not so easy to smooth out.

In fact, UCLA played well. Chen Mo scored 11 points, Kapono also scored 3 three-pointers, and Hollins even grabbed 9 rebounds, including 4 offensive rebounds.

But even under such circumstances, UCLA is still behind by as many as 15 points.

It's not that UCLA didn't play well, but that the University of Kansas played like a god today.

All kinds of fairy balls can be shot, and the higher the hit rate, the harder it is for UCLA to hit the fast break.

What is the most important thing in offensive and defensive transition?
That is, when the opponent's defense is too late to gain a firm foothold, attacking their unpreparedness is the core of the bombardment.

Another point is the guarantee of backcourt rebounds. Only when the backcourt rebounds are guaranteed can they be converted into offense.

If Kansas can throw the ball every time and UCLA has to hit the baseline every time, what's the point of a fast break?
Today, the situation facing UCLA is like this. It's not that they play badly, but that the University of Kansas doesn't give them a chance.

"Concentrate, everyone, listen to me!"

To admit defeat like this, coach Steve is naturally not reconciled, not only him, but also the players.

Although the state of the University of Kansas is off the charts, it is really unacceptable to admit defeat because of this.

"Kansas was in great shape in the first half, but we haven't lost yet, and there's the second half.

I don't believe Kansas can keep making pixie shots, so the second half was our chance. "

"Coach, I think we need to play faster."

Chen Mo didn't want to lose, not just because of skill points, to be honest, losing doesn't feel good at all.

Especially in the first half, Longford was very upset because the first goal was hit a bit badly.

No, after making a few unimaginable shots, Longford also turned into a cannon and kept spraying.

There's no way, if they lead by a large score, they are qualified to spray.

But Chen Mo was very upset. If he didn't spray it back, he felt that his mentality would explode.

But if you want to fight back, you have to get the score back first, otherwise it will be nonsense to say more.

Chen Mo is not the kind of person who will fight if he can't win the game. For him, using basketball to fight back is the real fight back.

"Without rebounding, we can't play fast break at all!"

"Of course, since there are no rebounds, we need to increase our speed."

Speaking of this, Coach Steve suddenly woke up. He remembered the method he had discussed with Chen Mo before.

Three key points, speed up and three-pointers, so far, it seems that UCLA is doing well.

As for the third method, to put it bluntly, it is still speeding up, replacing the big man with the small one is also speeding up.

It's just that this choice is a bit extreme, because if the big man is replaced, there may be problems with rebounding.

However, the problem now is that UCLA has no rebounds at all, and Kansas does not give them this opportunity.

With a 60% hit rate, if Chen Mo and others hadn't played well, the gap in score might have been even bigger.

Since there are no rebounds, there is nothing to worry about!
"TJ, you started the second half at center!"

This sentence directly stunned TJ Cummings, let him play center instead of power forward or small forward?
Although he can also play as a center forward, is he really good at a height of just over two meters?

You know, standing in front of him is one of the best big men in the NCAA.

"Can I really do it?"

Cummings was a little panicked. Wouldn't it be miserable if this was blown up!
Chen Mo patted Cummings on the shoulder and said, "Try to stand against Collison, and we will help!"

Cummings nodded, what else can he do besides bite the bullet?
Although I'm panicked, I can't show it yet!

Instead, Hollins breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was robbed of the starting lineup, he looked relaxed.

It was a bit miserable to be beaten in the first half!

For him, the first half was not a game at all, but a big offensive teaching.

Face-to-basket offense, post-up singles, jump shots, small throws, hooks... Collison showed off everything he can't do.

If it weren't for the two alley-oop dunks in the first half and his rebounding performance, he probably lost his confidence.

Now that he was replaced, not only did he not feel hurt, but he was relieved that he could finally be tortured by another person.

After a 15-minute intermission, the second half officially began.

However, as soon as UCLA came on stage, it immediately attracted the attention of the audience and commentators.

"Wow, Hollins didn't play? Is it because the first half was so bad?
However, I still have to say that it's not that Hollins is too bad, but that Collison is great, the best big man in the NCAA. "

Danny Manny was a little happy: "Oh, is UCLA going to give up? They replaced Hollins, but they didn't play Michael Fei. Who will play center? Who can limit Nick Collison?"

As a big man, and has experienced the NBA's most glorious center era, Manny must be a staunch center supporter.

For such a small lineup, he must be full of disdain, and even doubt whether the opposing coach understands the ball.

Only then did Mike Brin notice that UCLA really doesn't have a center.

"In fact, both Kapono and Cummings can play center. Could it be that this is Coach Steve's trick?"

Manny said proudly, "Mike, don't struggle anymore. UCLA is doomed. Collison will continue to beat them."

Of course he is very proud, after all, his home team wants to win, and in the contest between him and Mike Breen, he will also win.

The commentator is also a human being, although he knew that the two supported each other on purpose, but if they were really going to lose, they still felt embarrassed
