Chapter 56 The next opponent

When everyone thought that UCLA would win the second game of the season cleanly, Cal Poly's performance surprised everyone.

On this day, Paley Field in Los Angeles, California was also crowded with people.People's enthusiasm for basketball has not diminished in the slightest because they need to rest on the weekends.Many people are even dispatched as a family. They hope that their children can feel this strong competitive spirit, and they hope that they can like this school.The family lineage is passed on slowly.

Undoubtedly, one game didn't change Alford's mind.He was still very cautious, and still sent those so-called stable old players.

Of course, this is not a problem. Using this lineup with a high fault tolerance rate to test the quality of the opponent is also a relatively clever method.Unfortunately, sometimes let yourself fall into the passive.After all, prudence can sometimes be understood as sticking to the rules and not thinking about making progress.

In this game, Alford made an empirical error and was caught off guard.

As soon as it came up, UCLA still advanced slowly, and then played positional battles patiently.With the rich experience of the players, the start was also very smooth.But unexpectedly, Cal State Polytechnic immediately made a change after adapting to their rhythm.Relying on tenacious defense, they stopped UCLA's offense many times in a row, and then quickly counterattacked to open the score.Alford's reaction was not too slow. After he was successfully defended and counterattacked for the fourth time, he called a timeout.

An Luo thought it was their turn to play, but in fact, it didn't.Of course, it's not completely unchanged. At least, Alford replaced Aaron Holiday.

"Listen to me, guys! Don't you play after a day off? What about our defense? The tough defense we've been emphasizing? You guys are like tourists, watching them put the damn ball Score! Score one after another!" He didn't roar loudly, but his voice was cold and stiff, which made those players dare not look directly at him.

"Aaron, you will go up and organize the offense later. Remember, we must control the rhythm in our own hands. Loya, you need to carefully observe how to help your teammates when the offense is not going well."

"Kenner, if you stand under the basket like a block of wood again, I guarantee that the last thing you want to see will happen later."

……

Alford called every player on the court, pointed out their problems, and then told them how to play correctly.In the end, he still took out the tactics board and quickly drew a few tactics.

He always seems to trust those senior players so much that even playing like this still gives him a chance to play.An Luo was disappointed, and continued to sit on the bench.

But he believes that there must be a chance for himself to play.After all, An Luo felt that these people were not capable enough.

In fact, their performance was exactly as An Luo thought.Although the few people who returned to the field have improved, they did not meet Alford's expectations.

With three minutes left in the first half, Cal Poly called on their bench.Alford also waved his hand and replaced An Luo, Alex, and Prince.

"Remember, your task is to grab points! Be sure to keep the difference within five points. Go!"

have to!The hole dug by the main force is filled by the substitute!Where can I find such a team and such a coach.

The tacit understanding of this thing is really amazing.The same tactics, the same people are organizing the attack, and the friends around are different, so the effect is different.

In fact, Holiday did not perform well just now.Although he is very active, he is like a headless fly, desperately attacking the opponent's defense, but no one can provide help, he can only rely on himself.It's different now, he has helpers.

As soon as he came up, he had a beautiful cooperation with Alex, which ignited the atmosphere of the scene.He catches a pass from Prince at the top of the key, then swerves past the defender.Although the opponent's supplementary defense was timely, Alex had to be emptied.Of course Holiday saw it, he didn't need to communicate at all, he just threw the ball vigorously towards the basket, and then it was Alex's business.

The big man on the other side breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Holiday had thrown it indiscriminately.But before he could turn around, there was a tsunami of cheers in the arena.

"Hey! Dude, are you sure your coach didn't let you stare at me?" Alex, who fell to the ground, ran over and gave Holiday a high-five, then walked past the big man, pretending to be surprised asked.

If one ball can't change the situation of the whole game, then come another one.

Turning his head around, Alex gave the opponent's second position a big cap.It was the player who rushed inside countless times and caused damage in previous games.

Alex, who roared to the sky, became a hero of UCLA!In this attack and defense, he behaved like an ordinary superstar, which made An Luo envious.

All the audience were shouting for him, some were even hysterical, even An Luo heard those mantras starting with F.It can be seen how passionate the audience is, not at all listless at the beginning.

Cal State sent the ball down the court because Alex slapped the ball out of bounds.But with 2 seconds left, it was not enough for them to reorganize their offense.Barely missed the shot and the rebound was grabbed by Prince.

An Luo almost started with Holiday, but not as fast.But right now, that's not a bad thing.Because the opponent's defender directly passed An Luo and ran towards Holiday, and when the pass was passed to him, there was no one in front of him.

Leaving that much open for a [-]-point shooter was the biggest mistake in the game.

The three-pointer was scored, and An Luo cheerfully ran to the opponent's second position, ready to defend.He is now more and more fond of shooting from outside the three-point line. The feeling of hitting the bull's-eye from thousands of miles away is no worse than a dunk.

For the next minute or so, An Luo kept running on the field.Unfortunately, he didn't catch the ball again.It's not that Holiday didn't pass the ball, and the opponent shifted their defensive focus to An Luo and emptied Prince.

Since there is always one that cannot be restricted, then choose the most acceptable one!After all, no matter how you calculate it, losing two points is better than losing three points.

In this way, An Luo once again demonstrated his unparalleled containment role on the court.It's all about sacrificing yourself for the sake of others.But for the win, it's worth it.Although he was very unhappy about it.
