pinnacle of basketball

Chapter 329
This wave perfectly displayed the current fiery state of Holy Cross College in front of the audience, and at the same time caused a lot of psychological pressure on the UCLA players.

That's a three-pointer, and it's no surprise if it's an ordinary shot. 15 consecutive long-range shots without mistakes, or 15 completely independent individuals, this performance has to be surprising.

The UCLA players are warming up in an orderly manner according to the original warm-up plan, but they have all seen the performance of the College of the Holy Cross just now, and their three-point firepower will pose a huge test to UCLA's defense.

"Everyone, don't think about anything, stay calm." Oscar pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, and went down to appease his teammates in private. As soon as the opponent came up, he showed his hole cards, which would inevitably cause the players to shake up inside. Shakeup is possible, but it cannot be seen by the opponent.

The UCLA players looked flat and didn't have much reaction to Holy Cross College's 15th consecutive hit, and it can even be said that they didn't react at all.

"What's the matter with their expressions? Could it be that they didn't see our performance?" The players of the College of the Holy Cross were puzzled by UCLA's reaction. Ordinary opponents would be surprised or nervous when they saw their fiery touch, but they didn't feel any emotional shock from the UCLA players, as if nothing had happened.

"You guys, don't stand here and chat, hurry up and warm up." Schumacher stopped the discussion of his teammates.

"Yes, captain." The teammates replied, and then hurried back to the court to join the warm-up.

"Five minutes until the game starts."

The broadcast reminded the start time of the game, and the players of the two teams also finished their warm-up, making final preparations before going on the field at their respective benches.

The starting players of both sides entered the field. As Mu Chenfeng predicted earlier, Mu Chenfeng was not assigned to defend Schumacher, but was responsible for defending Raikkonen, the most accurate person in Holy Cross Academy.

The members of the two teams hugged each other to show their friendship, but the smell of gunpowder had gradually become stronger. Damian and Senna entered the middle circle to prepare for the jump ball, and the other eight players faced each other.

The opening whistle sounded, and the two leaped into the air, stretched their arms, and ran towards the basketball. The moment the basketball fell, they both touched the ball at the same time.

The basketball did not fly along the trajectory of the two people shooting the ball, but rolled towards an open space in the distance.

"Who snatched it?" The scene fell into chaos in an instant. In the chaos, Oscar held the ball firmly in his arms, keeping UCLA's right to attack for the first time.

"Return to defense." The College of the Holy Cross quickly organized its players to retreat, cutting off UCLA's fast break opportunity.

"It's so fast." Oscar originally planned to break fast, but he didn't expect that Holy Cross College's return defense efficiency was so high. He didn't even think about stealing the ball, so he retreated directly.

Hamilton is playing against Oscar. This brother has nothing else, but his physical strength is inexhaustible. The intensity of the game is nothing to a player who runs 10 kilometers every day. He can even run the whole game.

Therefore, the players who played against Hamilton were not technically weak, but lost in physical strength. It is difficult for players who played against Hamilton to persist in playing for more than 30 minutes.

Oscar's offensive skills are impeccable, and he can easily tear apart the opponent's defense. Hamilton is no exception. Although he did not completely pass Hamilton, he staggered with a huge frontal change of direction.

Raikkonen from the Academy of the Holy Cross used the pick-and-roll to throw off Mu Chenfeng, went around the bottom corner, caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

The score overtakes.

This is the opening play that Holy Cross College is used to, give the ball to Raikkonen, and he can always make the ball.

After being scored, Mu Chenfeng responded on the offensive end. He singled Raikkonen himself, turned around with a feint, shook Raikkonen away, and then made a fallback jumper.

Holy Cross' style of play is very clear. Their advantage lies in the perimeter, so the opening offense was centered around the perimeter three-pointer. Although Cena was a center, he didn't enter the penalty area but withdrew to the three-point line after finishing the pick-and-roll.

Cena sets up a cannon outside the three-point line, fires, and his shot has almost no spin, and it "hits" directly into the basket.

After several rounds, both sides hit a good shooting percentage, but UCLA was behind in the score. Holy Cross College scored three points every time, while UCLA scored two points.

It is rare for Felix to hit a three-pointer from the outside, but three-pointers are not a conventional weapon for UCLA. Occasional flashes cannot help the team narrow the point difference. If this continues, the point difference will only widen.

"We can't let them score anymore." Oscar gave the team an order. The most effective way to prevent the gap from widening is to prevent their three-pointers.

"Keep an eye on your own people, and leave the rebounds to me." Damian said.

Serious UCLA is unrivaled, especially Oscar, Mu Chenfeng and Felix, but it is difficult for any prey they are targeting to perform normally.

However, the College of the Holy Cross did not realize the crisis was coming.

Raikkonen, who was facing off against Mu Chenfeng, was still looking for opportunities with his running position. When he got an open position, his teammate's basketball was also in place quickly. He turned around and shot, and suddenly a shadow rushed towards him.

Snapped!
Mu Chenfeng blocked his shot in the air.

"How is it possible?" Raikkonen was stunned, he had already thrown off Mu Chenfeng, but he suddenly appeared, and even blocked himself, the height of the jump was frighteningly high.

"I've already figured out your playing style." Mu Chenfeng said coldly, not only Raikkonen, everyone in Holy Cross Academy Mu Chenfeng is very familiar with the style of play. In the past few days, he has repeatedly studied those videos no less than ten times, and successfully found a way to defend them.

"Mu Chenfeng is really playing with his brain."

Not only did Mu Chenfeng know how to limit the opponent, but he also told the rest of the team how to defend others in the preparation meeting before the game. The teammates defended according to his words, and the effect was very obvious. Holy Cross College's three-pointer was killed.

Without the most powerful weapon, Holy Cross also lost the capital to compete with UCLA. UCLA took advantage of this opportunity to catch up with the lagging score and then overtake the score.

From the moment the score was overtaken, the College of the Holy Cross knew that the general situation was over, and the UCLA players played smoother and more boldly.

Mu Chenfeng broke through along the bottom line and encountered the three-person defense of the Holy Cross College. Mu Chenfeng responded calmly, looped the lever in the air to avoid the defense and then went out. The basketball slammed into the backboard with a strong spin, refracting into the net.

This layup with one against three is the epitome of the current state of the two teams. After the three-pointer was restricted, the state of Holy Cross plummeted and the situation was reversed by UCLA.

College of the Holy Cross failed to recover until the last moment of the game and was directly carried away by UCLA.
