Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Chapter 408 The halo is gone!

After this substitution, the five players on UCLA's side became Lamb, Parker, Mohammed, Anderson, and Zhuang Yu.

This is a less commonly used lineup.

However, Coach Holland had his own considerations. He needed Zhuang Yu to stay on the court, and also hoped that Muhammad could regain his form. However, due to the issue between Muhammad and Zhuang Yu, he sent Anderson up. , trying to get him to act as a buffer between the two.

At the same time, Anderson also has a certain ability to control the ball and can act as an organizer on the court. As a high defender, Zhuang Yu can focus on three-point shooting.

I have to say that Coach Holland is still very good.

After this substitution, UCLA's offense improved significantly. Muhammad was able to rely on his personal ability to play singles on the court, although the effect was not very good against Hill. In addition, Anderson has good defense and can complete some two-person cooperation with Zhuang Yu. At the same time, he can also serve as an organizer and feed Zhuang Yu the ball.

For a time, UCLA hit a wave of shock waves and chased the point difference to 2 points.

Arizona called a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, the University of Arizona replaced Hill and main center Burton again. The two main players and three substitutes.

As soon as Hill came up, he singled out Muhammad, broke through and caused a foul on Muhammad, and went to the free throw line and made two free throws, widening the point difference.

Hill then assisted substitute power forward Jarrett to hit a three-pointer.

On the other hand, at UCLA, Zhuang Yu missed a three-pointer, Mohammed also made a three-pointer, and Anderson himself made a three-pointer, but still missed.

In a moment, the score difference became 7 points again.

"Coach Holland, it's time to call a timeout." Assistant Coach Wesley shouted.

"Yeah." Coach Holland nodded with a solemn expression.

UCLA didn't play well during this period. When Hill returned to the court, Muhammad started to get aggressive again and became uncool.

Of course, what makes Coach Holland feel solemn is actually the overall strength of the University of Arizona - Hill's strength is obviously better than that of Muhammad. In addition, the University of Arizona's power forward Jarrett also has an advantage in the matchup with Parker. He has a strong rebounding ability and can open up space to shoot three-pointers. He works very well with Hill.

It can be said that the University of Arizona is very strong in both its main lineup and rotation lineup.

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Holland called a timeout.

After a few players came down, he specifically called out Mohammed, "Shabazz, you have to calm down. Don't care what the other party says, you have to play calmly and smartly, do you understand?"

"Yes." Mohammed nodded.

Later, Coach Holland made a substitution, replacing Parker and Zhuang Yu with Latvis and Drew II, which was equivalent to setting up a twin tower. The purpose was very simple, which was to enhance the competitiveness of rebounding. , the opponent's Jarrett is too good at grabbing.

It's just a pity that the form on the field has not changed much.

The rebounding has indeed improved since entering the Twin Towers, but the speed has also slowed down. The two centers cannot defend and give the opponent too many outside shooting opportunities.

And then there’s Mohammed.

This game against Hill exposed some of Muhammad's problems.

There is no doubt that Mohammed's talent is outstanding, his physical talent is considered top-notch among his age group, and his scoring ability is very strong, not even inferior to Hill.

However, he is obviously not calm enough on the court, prone to impulsiveness, inexperienced, and too obsessed with offense. His defensive attitude is a problem...

In short, Muhammad was completely at a disadvantage against Hill today.

......

In a blink of an eye, there were only three minutes left in the first half.

At this time, UCLA was 8 points behind its opponent. Coach Holland made a substitution, replacing Drew II and Muhammad, and replaced him with Zhuang Yu.

As soon as Zhuang Yu broke through and caused a foul on his opponent, he stood on the free throw line and made two free throws, and then hit a three-pointer at the last moment. In three minutes, he scored 5 points alone, helping the team chase the point difference to 5 points.

However, the score was still behind after all.

After entering the second half, the form remained unchanged. Mohammed was no match for Hill, and the more he was at a disadvantage, the worse his mentality became, and his condition declined rapidly.

Obviously, UCLA has no hope of making a comeback.

At this time, Zhuang Yu, Muhammad, Anderson, Parker, and Latvis were on the court. Muhammad held the ball and directly beat Hill in singles. His face was gloomy, his eyes were blazing, and he was deflated for the whole game. There is anger that wants to be vented.

Mohammed dribbled the ball from his hips, then hugged the ball and forced a breakthrough. He used his body to squeeze Hill away, and was about to lift the ball, but was cut off by Hill's slap.

"Asshole." Mohammed got angry and grabbed Hill.

beep!

The referee blew the whistle and gave Mohammed a foul.

Mohammed was very unconvinced and ran to the referee to argue: "It was clearly his thug's foul just now. Why didn't you call it? Why?"

However, the referee ignored it at all and just looked at Mohammed coldly. If Mohammed continued to be unrelenting, he would give him a technical foul.

"calm."

"Shabazz, stop talking."

Latvis and Parker quickly grabbed Mohammed.

At this time, Hill looked at Mohammed with contempt and mocked: "You are just like a complaining child, not as good as that Chinese boy."

Muhammad's eyes were red. If he hadn't been held back by Latvis and Parker, he might have gone up and beaten him.

Zhuang Yu's face turned dark. Mad, just laugh at Mohammed. Why are you dragging me along? Don't compare me to a fool.

With only a few dozen seconds left in the game, Hill went to the free throw line and made one of two free throws, making the score 74:63.

Coach Holland called the last timeout and replaced Muhammad.

In the last few dozen seconds, UCLA still had one attack time. Zhuang Yu came to the frontcourt, and Johnson quickly came forward. Zhuang Yu made a gesture, and his teammates came up to pick and roll. Then Zhuang Yu broke through and passed the ball to Anderson, and started by himself. Movement.

After some movement, Zhuang Yu came to the three-point line in the left corner. Anderson passed the ball over. When Zhuang Yu took off, Hill pounced on him.

"Huh, I'm waiting for you." Hill sneered.

However, the smile on his face soon froze. Zhuang Yu didn't jump, just a fake shot. Hill's eyes widened and he flew past him.

Zhuang Yu glanced at Hill, and their eyes met in the air. Hill clearly saw a hint of ridicule... Then Zhuang Yu jumped up and shot a three-pointer.

Swish!

There was a soft sound, the ball was scored, and the score became 74:66.

It's just that there are only a dozen seconds left in the game, and even if Zhuang Yu makes this three-pointer, it won't help.

"Beep..."

In the end, the game ended with a score of 74:66. The University of Arizona defeated UCLA by 8 points, ending UCLA's winning streak.

In this game, Zhuang Yu scored a personal regular season high of 18 points, plus 5 rebounds and 6 assists. His performance was very good.

The only fly in the ointment is that the game was lost.

Mohammed was in a sluggish state. Although he had the right to measure the ball, he only made 14 of 4 shots, less than 7% from the field. He made 4 of 12 free throws, and only scored points in total.

On the other hand, Hill, who is in the same position opposite, scored 21 points, plus 6 rebounds and 3 assists. It can almost be said that he completely beat Muhammad.

After one game, the aura of being the number one high school student in the United States was gone.

Players from both sides hugged after the game, but Mohammed simply did not participate. After the game, he turned around and went back to the locker room.

Hill curled his lips, cursed in a low voice, then took the initiative to walk up to Zhuang Yu, hugged Zhuang Yu, and said: "I think you are better than Mohammed, I don't understand why UCLA only lets you play Substitute, this is disrespectful to you."

The corner of Zhuang Yu's mouth twitched: "Save it, you still want to mess with my mentality after the game is over, I told you it's useless to me."

"Haha..." Hill laughed, "I'm starting to like you a little bit, and I look forward to playing against you next time."

"Get out of here." Zhuang Yu waved his hand, not polite at all.
