Chapter 496
As the saying goes, "If you lose your horse, you will never know it is a blessing."

This is the case at UCLA today.

After a careless loss to Kansas State University in the opening game, the team quickly adjusted their state and defeated the lowly UC Riverside on the road in the following game.

Now the team has come to the next stop of Erlianke, Georgetown University in Washington, DC.

Georgetown University, which once cultivated many NBA superstars, is now a mid-to-upstream team in the NCAA. It is time to test how much of UCLA's status has been adjusted.

If you want to prove that UCLA is still a strong team, you must beat an opponent of the same strength.

"Georgetown, we must win~!!"

"Georgetown, we must win~!!"

The shouts and tsunami of the fans proved the fans' trust in the home team, and they believed that the team could win UCLA at home.

Both starters are ready.

"God, this guy is so tall~!"

Love looked at Georgetown University center Hibbert, who was about to jump the ball, and sighed.

The height of 2 meters with bare feet is even more terrifying after wearing shoes. With such an insider, standing there is a kind of deterrent.

Sure enough, after the game started, Georgetown University focused on Hibbert.

Because UCLA's main center is only 210 cm, it has a natural disadvantage when defending Hibbert.

"Swipe~!!"

"Tap, brush~!!"

"Swipe~!!"

Whether it was a hook shot, a half-turned rebound shot, or a tip-up, Hibbert made steady hits. UCLA's inside line was blasted into a "plug" by Hibbert.

And on the offensive end, Hibbert's "barrier" role is also fully demonstrated.

UCLA's multiple attempts to attack the paint have been unsuccessful.

The team quickly fell into a passive situation.

"Dum~!!!"

Holland immediately called a timeout.

It seems that Holland needs to reconsider Hibbert's defense.

"As a player who is already a senior, Hibbert's control over the game and the heat are too good,,,"

Lan Shengli recalled Hibbert's previous attacks and sighed.

"Hibert knew his fitness was a problem, so in the opening stage, when he was at his best, he quickly played a strong performance. He knew his playing time was limited,"

Lan Shengli began to analyze.

"Then there is Hibbert's technical characteristics. His athletic ability is average, but his skill at the basket is very delicate. He restrains our two insiders. I don't know what tactics Coach Holland can come up with,"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

"Actually, we can take advantage of Hibbert's inability to get out of the paint and his slow movement, so that the team can speed up and consume Hibbert's physical energy as quickly as possible, or use pick-and-roll tactics to let Collison single out Hibbert. , in this way, there will be some opportunities, "

Lan Shengli thought, and the game restarted.

Here, Holland made the change exactly as Lan Shengli thought. He no longer used the pick-and-roll tactics of Collison and Love, but the pick-and-roll tactics of Collison and the center, and let Hibbert switch to defend. Collison.

"Haha, it seems that this time I finally formed a tacit understanding with Coach Holland~!"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli said with a smile.

I saw Collison taking advantage of his speed and the change of rhythm. After passing Collison, he made a layup.

"Tap, brush~!!"

The ball hit the board steadily.

"It's not enough to consume Hibbert on the offensive end. The main thing is to limit him on the defensive end. This is the most important thing~!!"

Lan Shengli sighed.

"Good shot~!!!"

As soon as Lan Shengli finished speaking, the UCLA bench cheered.

I saw Hibbert once again tried to play singles after getting the ball in the low post, but Collison's very sudden double-team directly caused Hibbert to make a pass error.

Collison steals the ball.

"After Hibbert gets the ball, if a back attack is formed, just double-team him and don't let him move to play~!!"

This is what Holland assigned to the players in the previous timeout.

"Swipe~!!"

Here Collison launched a counterattack, and finally the striker hit the outside three-pointer.

UCLA quickly smoothed the gap.

"Swipe~!!"

"Swipe~!!"

After the first half of the game, UCLA's outside line repeatedly fired shots, while for Georgetown, after Hibbert left the field, the team's offense lacked a main attack point, which greatly reduced the team's offensive efficiency.

The team's outside shooting rate is not very ideal.

Even if Collison and Love are all replaced, UCLA still has a Westbrook who can play better than the starters.

"Tap, brush~!!"

"Swipe~!!"

"Duang~!!!"

Whether it's a swipe shot, a breakthrough layup, or a counterattack dunk, Westbrook is fearless and continues to score points for the team.

The defensive end also spares no effort to stick to the defense, not giving the opponent's defender a chance to organize an attack.

41: 27.

UCLA ended the first half with a 14-point lead.

"Well, this is what UCLA should be like~!!"

Lan Shengli is also quite satisfied with the team's performance in the first half.

The second half of the game was almost a microcosm of the first half.

At the beginning, Hibbert led the team to counterattack for a while when his physical fitness was good, but as his physical fitness declined, the momentum gradually declined. UCLA has always maintained a good outside touch.

Westbrook also did not appear to be overheated anymore, and the team has been running in a very stable state.

The final score was fixed at 81:58.

UCLA won by 23 points in the away game and achieved its first winning streak in the new season.

The victory this time brought more smiles to the faces of the team members. Love, Westbrook and others also high-fived each other, enjoying the joy brought by the victory.

"The team members maintained a high degree of concentration and game attention from the beginning to the end of this game, and they also implemented Coach Holland's deployment and arrangements very well. This performance should also be the real strength of our UCLA Already~!!"

Lan Shengli also sighed.

Having won two consecutive away games, UCLA quickly "returned to the court" and returned to UCLA, waiting for the second game at home.

"UCLA~!!!"

"UCLA~!!!"

"UCLA~!!!"

Although the opening game lost the game in a very embarrassing way, the fans still support the team 100%.

And the team also uses [-]% performance to give back to the fans.

"Duang~!!!!"

Westbrook's counter-attack dunk.

"Swipe~!!!"

Collison's outside three-pointer.

"Clang, clang,"

"Tap, brush~!!"

Love rushed to grab offensive rebounds, and then made a tip-up. The UCLA players played their respective strengths. It seemed that the winning streak would continue.
