The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 46 Anxiety
It is absolutely impossible for a team to give up defense completely.

Even the old Nelson, who experimented wildly on the offensive end, still didn't completely lose his defense.

It's not that bombardment can't win the championship, and it's not that three-pointers can't kill the game.

And the premise of all this is defense.

If you bombard without defense, you are the Suns, and if you have defense, you are a warrior.

As a traditional coach, Coach Steve has to change his basketball cognition in order to win.

But on the basis of keeping his job, he also hopes to build a better team and win more.

And defense is absolutely indispensable.

Just like now, when the game is really in an anxious moment, defense is particularly important.

Fortunately, although UCLA is crazy about attacking, everyone still has defensive skills, so they won't be beaten into a sieve.

Coupled with the role of Hollins as a big center, in fact, UCLA is not without a defensive system.

However, it is very poor, barely enough.

Now, however, Steve saw another bright spot, one that perfected UCLA's defense.

Of course, it's too early to tell, and UCLA needs to win this game now.

After a successful defense, the time left is less than 1 minute. After this attack, each team has only one chance to attack.

Cedric held the ball for halftime, Chen Mo took the initiative to pick and roll Kapono, and Hollins also picked and rolled.

Kapono came out to catch the ball, but after receiving the ball, Kapono did not rush to make a shot, but continued to transfer.

The ball finally fell into Chen Mo's hands. There was no way. The University of Kansas defended very fiercely and had no chance at all.

Chen Mo didn't force a fight, but called Hollins to pick and roll, and after the pick and roll, he took the initiative to match Collison.

Small fight big, to be honest, this was Chen Mo's favorite style of play before.

Chen Mo dribbled the ball to adjust his rhythm, step by step back beyond the three-point line, and made a fake move to make a shot.

It was obviously a gesture of worshiping Buddha, but when Chen Mo performed it, it seemed that he was worshiping a fake Buddha.

A little embarrassing, well, pretty embarrassing actually.

The only good news is that Collison was tricked and his center of gravity was slightly shifted.

At this time, Chen Mo still hesitated, and passed Collison with a cross step acceleration.

There's no way, that's the case with big defense and small defense. Collison's choice is right, that is, to block two points.

Wayne Ximing immediately returned to the basket to help defend, with a vicious look, it was a bit scary.

It's just that Chen Mo wasn't too frightened. He grabbed the basketball with one hand and wanted to dunk it.

Wei Enximing tried his best to take off, but Chen Mo took the ball back and even folded his body.

The only disadvantage is that the jump is not high enough, the stretch is not enough, and the movement is a bit ugly.

As the body fell, Chen Mo successfully appeared on the other side of the basket and scored the ball with a pull bar.

94:95, UCLA went ahead by one point.

"Wow!"

"Chen, good job!"

……

The bench couldn't help shouting, this ball is really wonderful.

Although there is no violence of dunking, but the graceful posture and extreme stretching perfectly reflect Chen Mo's flexibility.

Well, teammates beautified it for him.

I have to say that practicing yoga is really useful. It can not only enhance flexibility, but also train balance. Otherwise, this little free time is really not enough to do exercises.

Of course, all training must be based on science. If it affects explosive power for the sake of flexibility, the loss outweighs the gain.

More importantly, after the ball, UCLA once again overtook the score, and there were still 40 seconds left.

In other words, after the University of Kansas' offense, there will be an opportunity for UCLA to attack.

"Nice job, Chen."

"Come on, work harder to win the game."

……

The University of Kansas quickly called a timeout, which was their last timeout.

"Okay, come here quickly, we must guard against this ball."

Steve continued to yell in a hoarse voice. Under the intense exercise, a soft voice could not keep the players focused.

Otherwise, why do you think the coaches all have loud voices, and they can't be heard when they speak softly.

"Hinrich and Collison, Kansas will absolutely give the offense to those two.

Hinrich's three-pointer and Collison's inside line must not allow him to complete the offense here.

Strangling the three-point line and the three-second zone, forcing them to complete the attack in the middle distance. "

……

Coach Steve explained the main points of defense again, especially for Thompson and Hollins.

"Chen, when necessary, you must also help defend."

Chen Mo nodded in agreement, but after coming to the court, everything was not as imagined.

Hinrich attacked on the right side, and Chen Mo was directly pulled to the left foot by Langford. The University of Kansas also noticed Chen Mo's defense.

If it was regular time, Chen Mo might have the courage to let Langford go and help defend others
This is a bet, a bet on whether the ball can reach Langford's hands, whether Langford can make the ball.

But at the last moment, when it was time for life and death, he didn't dare to gamble anymore.

Hinrich handles the ball very well. In fact, he was the team's starting point guard last season.

In the NCAA, there are many combo guards like Hinrich, and in college games, combo guards are also the position with the most opportunity to play.

Seeing that there were only 14 seconds left in the attack time, Hinrich finally moved, and quickly let Collison step forward to pick and roll.

In fact, just now he has been looking for opportunities, looking for opportunities for Collison to play singles.

It's a pity that Hollins kept interfering and circling forward, never giving Collison a chance to catch the ball.

Moreover, this is a decisive battle at the last moment, and the referee's whistle is very tight, so it is not easy to call a foul.

Collison picks and rolls, and Thompson chases directly from the front. This is coach Steve's arrangement, and Hinrich's three-pointer cannot be released.

When Collison went inside, he was also stopped by Hollins with all his strength.

I have to say that Hinrich is worthy of being a veteran, he immediately understood UCLA's defensive strategy and immediately broke through to the inside.

However, at this time, Chen Mo had already consciously shrunk to the inside line, and it was impossible to watch Hinrich break through and layup easily.

As for Langford being empty, Hinrich has no chance to pass the ball at all, and there may not be enough time for another pass!
All the inside and outside lines were blocked, leaving only the mid-range position of about 18 feet.

Hinrich did not hesitate, and under the siege of Thompson and Hollins, he made a decisive mid-range shot.

To be honest, this is not what Hinrich is best at, but that's how basketball games are, choose!

UCLA chose to pinch the three-point line and the three-second zone, so it will inevitably let go of the mid-range.

Hinrich, on the other hand, can choose to pass the ball, or he can choose to shoot by himself, and he chose to shoot by himself.

To completely defend a team, to be honest, this is very unrealistic.

Defense is actually doing multiple-choice questions, defending the opponent's stronger point, and weakening the defensive oppression in other aspects.

The ball flew over the heads of Thompson and Hollins, and the spinning ball drew a beautiful arc.

"When, when!"

Under everyone's attention, the ball smacked the rim twice, then abruptly entered the rim.

"NO!"

"YES!"

"Nice job!"
