Chapter 125 Progress and Overtime

When Holiday reappeared, the Bruins were already 5 points behind.Of course, this point difference is not big, but it is obviously unbelievable for the kings of the Pacific Ten Schools Alliance. They have rarely tasted the feeling of falling behind in their own territory.

Luo walked off the court with a face of shame, but he obviously didn't get the same treatment as a super rookie. Holland just shook hands with him casually, said "good job" lightly, and then returned his attention to In the middle of the game.There is no way, this is also the cruelty of competitive sports. If you don't have talent or strength, don't even think about having a good face to look at.

At this time, Harden had already taken a break. His replacement was Ty Abbott. This guy looked one size smaller than Harden and was only 1.90 meters tall. In front of Xu Hao, who was 1.96 meters tall, he looked more like A point guard.But Xu Hao didn't care. The Sun Devils' tactical system allowed the two defenders to constantly switch positions, so it made no difference to him.

It is precisely because of this that he has to face Holiday directly in more rounds.But what surprised him was that the boy's resistance to pressure had suddenly improved a lot, and his blank expression was rarely seen in the game.

At first, Xu Hao didn't know why the other team's head coach wanted to replace Holiday, but when he figured it out, he also understood why he chose to continue to let Holiday play.It seems that the head coach of the Bruins is still very courageous. This is also the benefit of a famous school. They have many opportunities to be willful, while Arizona State can only walk on thin ice.

Facing Xu Hao again, Holiday still felt tremendous pressure, but he was like a dry sponge, eagerly absorbing water from each matchup.Of course, most of the time he was on the losing side. Unless he relied on the strength of his teammates, he could only watch Xu Hao go away after shaking continuously, and then made a layup.

However, when Holiday is attacking with the ball, his turnovers have been reduced a lot, and even if he loses the ball under Xu Hao's interference, he will immediately fight back on the spot instead of standing in a daze like before. .This is a big improvement for him, but it is still not enough for Xu Hao, at most it is a little progress.

Despite this, Holiday's performance on the court still inspired his teammates. The Bruins' overall strength is still good. They were only blinded by the combined punches of Xu Hao and Harden before.Now Harden is still sitting on the bench to rest, and Abbott, who replaced him, is of average strength. As long as the Bruins can perform at a normal level, they have a chance to regain their disadvantage.

The score difference between the two sides always fluctuated within 5 points. However, due to Xu Hao's excellent organizational skills and other Sun Devil players also completed their tasks well, the team always maintained a slight lead over the opponent.This made Holland feel very unhappy. He walked to the sidelines and said a few words to Collison, indicating to speed up the offensive rhythm and take the lead.

It has to be said that there is still a gap in hard power between the two sides, and Harden's fate also caused the Sun Devils to lose an important scoring point.As soon as the Bruins accelerated, several guys who usually only played as substitutes were obviously overwhelmed. They almost made mistakes in connecting the ball, let alone sending the ball into the basket.Before Xu Hao took over the offense, the Bruins quickly equalized the score.

Coach Evans, who was originally leisurely on the sidelines, smiled helplessly. It seems very risky to use a large-scale rotation in such a game.But he can't help it. Harden may have used too much force in the game against USC. Under normal circumstances, he can play the entire first half, but this time he took the initiative to ask for a rest. This is not very common.

Harden rested until the end of the first half. In fact, this was because Evans saw that Xu Hao could still control the situation on the court, so he decided to give him more rest time.Even so, Arizona State also became the lagging side. Holiday seized the opportunity to hit a three-pointer at the end of the first half, ending the first 46 minutes with a score of 48-20.

Evans didn't say too much during the intermission, but just asked about the physical condition of his ace's backcourt.Needless to say, Xu Hao, he has always been a physical madman in the team, and Harden also said that he can play the second half.Evans is satisfied with this, he feels that he has become more and more dependent on these two young people now, it seems that ...

Well, it doesn't matter, the coaches of other teams can't rely on anyone, so I still don't pretend to be so forced.

I don't know what Holland said in the locker room during the halftime break. After the second half, the players of the Bruins team seemed to be bloody, and even used the full-court press to kill a thousand enemies. A big killer that damages itself by eight hundred.Xu Hao didn't feel much about this, but other people, including Harden, would occasionally be caught in a hurry.

At the same time, the Bruins also played more complex tactics on the offensive end. It is not without reason that the NCAA is known as the cradle of American basketball tactics. All the powerful players have their own tactics, and UCLA is naturally one of the leaders.Although the two cores of Westbrook and Love have already started to compete in the NBA, Holland still has a lot of dry things in his mind.

Relatively speaking, the Sun Devils look more like a nouveau riche. Their tactics are basically initiated by Xu Hao and Harden, and the mature routines are only so popular, which seems to be very unreasonable.But who cares?As long as they can play equally with their opponents on the field, it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat.

The two sides have been entangled from the second half to the last minute. Whenever Xu Hao wants to use a three-pointer to help the team widen the point difference, someone from the Bruins always stands up and hits the Answer Ball, showing a very tenacious performance.On the other hand, Harden was harassed by Holiday. He chose to force a breakthrough layup several times, and was successfully interfered by the opponent without any accident.

The two teams fought fiercely at the last minute, but unfortunately both missed the chance to make the final decision.For the Sun Devils, Xu Hao's strike was wasted by Harden in the corner, while for the Bruins, Holiday's layup was slapped away by Ayres who rushed to the slapstick. There was no chance for them to grab rebounds and complete the second offense.

Ayres, who completed the fatal block, was relieved. He was really afraid of being called a thug foul by the referee at this time, which would almost give the opponent the victory directly.But the Sun Devils players can't let up yet, overtime is about to begin!
