Chapter 78 Perfect ending
It is not easy to be recognized by one person, but it is even more difficult to be recognized by thousands of people.

This process can be long and tortuous.But UCLA only took one game.

In the game against North Carolina, UCLA was behind by a large score in the first half, and the three armies worked hard to catch up.In the second half, they finally broke through the opponent's blockade, played their own momentum and rhythm, dominated both offensive and defensive ends of the game, and finally reversed and won.

The last game with the University of Kansas, UCLA ate the first defeat of the season.However, at that time UCLA was in a period of turmoil, the lineup was changing, and people's hearts were unstable.Losing is also reasonable.So the big guys didn't blame these players, they just questioned Alford's coaching ability.

As soon as the results of the game came out, it caused a heated discussion among fans and industry insiders.

You know, not many people were optimistic about UCLA before the game.

"Alford's arrangement in the second half was very effective. Alex held the ball to organize, liberated Holiday, and then liberated An Luo. But he didn't realize it until the second half, which shows his lack of on-the-spot command ability."

"Holiday's importance to UCLA is fully reflected in this game."

"An Luo's offensive firepower is too strong, which is the key to UCLA's victory. In fact, the three-pointer at the buzzer in the first half ignited the momentum of UCLA's reversal. Without his 6-of-4 three-pointers in the second half, this game The game will definitely be taken away by North Carolina."

"We should see a point that has not been noticed, a talent covered by An Luo and Holiday-Alex. In this game, after North Carolina blocked Holiday, power forward Alex Kex stepped up and played the role of UCLA organizer. During the time when Holiday was blocked, he did an excellent job of guiding the offensive end. Coupled with this guy's sharp rebounding ability, excellent defense, and accurate Mid-range shooting, and there are three points. If you are the head coach of a team, you definitely want to have such a big man on your team.”

"Of course, when we see UCLA's reversal and win, we should also see their shortcomings. Especially An Luo, his ability to find opportunities by himself is far inferior to that without the ball, so Holiday's performance is very important .Although Alex did a good job in this game, it is difficult to say that this is not an accident."

"North Carolina has found a way to limit UCLA for other teams. Although it was broken by UCLA's strange move in the second half, it is still a feasible idea."

……

The game between UCLA and North Carolina was played on December 12.After this game, UCLA has only one game left in 20 with the McNeese State University Cowboys of the Southern Territory League on the 2015rd.

Alford did not arrange any training for these two days.Everyone is very relaxed, thanks to the fact that UCLA's next opponent is not strong.More importantly, of course, Christmas is coming soon.

You know, this is a lively festival that Americans yearn for the most, and it is valued by Americans just like China treats the Spring Festival.From the day after Thanksgiving, Americans have been very busy for Christmas.

Of course, for An Luo, this was just a short rest period.Of course, it is also a good experience to feel the exotic customs by the way.

Tang Xiaoru and her friends are already preparing for the Christmas party.Unlike An Luo, they still have a lot of training tasks every day, so they have a lot of free time to do other things.As for An Luo, this time Tang Xiaoru captured him as a young man.Of course it is acting as a coolie!In the past two days, I have been running around with Tang Xiaoru, helping with things, or like other gay men, hanging decorations under the command of a group of girls...

An Luo felt that these things were not at all easier than his usual training. This was the most tiring thing he did when he was with Tang Xiaoru apart from shopping.But I am very happy in my heart. A group of Chinese people are planning a party together, and they feel very cordial in a foreign country.Of course, for An Luo, it was more important to be able to stay with Tang Xiaoru for the past two days.

On the 23rd, UCLA ushered in a game against McNeese State University at Paley Field.

This was originally a game with great disparity in strength, but the whole process of the game was very tortuous.

Alford may have tried the taste of organizing a power forward, so this game directly arranged for Alex to be in charge of the organization.Although Holiday is the No. [-] position, he actually plays a shooting guard like An Luo.

So this game has an extremely incongruous scene: a nearly seven-foot big man holds the ball in the middle near the backboard, three guards rotate quickly, and another big man guards the basket.

Alex's guard foundation is still relatively solid.But Alford may have come too violently, causing him to be a little overwhelmed at the beginning, and the team's offense fell into a semi-paralyzed situation.The opponent played a 10:2 start.

Alford called a timeout in the fifth minute.He is not dissatisfied with the performance of the players, after all, everyone else is normal.As for Alex's discomfort, he knew it well.He analyzed the problem for Alex alone, taught him how to look at offense and organization, how to correctly control the ball and so on.An Luo and others also gave Alex encouragement.The transformation is not an easy task, but the success will be very helpful for Alex's future development.

This pause works.After returning to the game, Alex obviously played more freely.Under his guidance, An Luo, Holiday, and Prince began to exert their strength.They directly rained three-pointers at Paley Stadium. Such a powerful backcourt combination can shoot three-pointers and cause damage to the penalty area. I am afraid that there is no second one in the entire NCAA.

Anyone who has watched the UCLA game knows that once they enter the rhythm of these three people, it is difficult for the opponent to resist.Soon they chased the score back, and by the end of halftime, UCLA had led the opponent by 12 points.

In the second half, An Luo continued the fiery touch of the first half, taking away the game in one wave.For nearly 14 minutes remaining, Alford left only Alex on the field and then switched to a substitute lineup.

In the end, UCLA defeated the visiting McNeese State University 87:62.

After the game, UCLA officially ended all games throughout 2015.Leaving aside the results of last season, so far this season, with a record of [-] wins and one loss, it can be regarded as a perfect end to this year.
