Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Chapter 414 Starting the second half

There were more than three minutes left in the first half, and the score was 33:33.

Players from both sides returned to the court and conducted personnel rotations. USC replaced its main center Wright, small forward Sharp, and guard Dylan. Only positions 1 and 4 were still substitutes, but Reed and Austin had already stepped down. After reaching the sidelines, it seems that he will also go on the court.

UCLA replaced Muhammad and Powell, replaced Anderson and Smith, and the field lineup became Lamb, David, Muhammad, Powell, and Zhuang Yu.

USC's possession.

Reid advanced with the ball, and when he reached the frontcourt and faced Zhuang Yu, he couldn't help but frowned and gestured to his teammates...

USC played very patiently this time. They are a team-based team. They do not have star players and do not rely on any one player. They rely on a balanced lineup, excellent tactical coordination, and teamwork ability.

It has to be said that the University of Southern California is still very strong. With continuous running, passing, and sudden scoring, several players cooperated very well, tearing a hole in UCLA's defense, and finally the ball was given to Sharp. , Sharp hit a long two-pointer.

The score is 35:33.

When UCLA attacked, Zhuang Yu came to the frontcourt and first observed the opponent's defense.

The University of Southern California actually set up a one-to-four defensive formation at this time. The key target was not Muhammad, but Zhuang Yu.

"Haha, I just scored a few three-pointers, why can't I stand it?" Zhuang Yu sneered and passed the ball to Mohammed, who wanted to verify it.

When Muhammad got the ball, USC did not double-team him. Reed still stared at Zhuang Yu, while several other players were still in zone defense, but they were consciously leaning in the direction of Muhammad.

really......

Zhuang Yu understood that the opponent seemed to be really frightened by his three three-pointers and did not double-team Mohammed.

When he saw that the opponent was not double-teaming him, Mohammed suddenly felt that he was good again.

"Pull away."

Mohammed gestured to his teammates to pull away and give him a single.

The coach just said that when encountering a double-team, the ball should be given to Zhuang Yu as soon as possible, but if the opponent does not double-team, then it is reasonable for me to play alone, right?

However, the effect is not good.

When Muhammad played in isolation, USC immediately shrank its defense. He rushed in and was blocked. He forced a shot and failed to score.

Afterwards, Mohammed tried again. He did not break through again, but chose to shoot from the outside, but he still failed to score. He was so depressed that he almost jumped.

Coach Holland's face turned dark on the sidelines.

"Mohammed, what are you doing?" Coach Holland stopped saving face for Mohammed and roared loudly, "I asked you to pass the ball, pass the ball, don't you understand?"

"No, haven't you discovered a problem? As long as Zhuang and Mohammed are on the court at the same time, the effect is often not very good..."

Some fans have noticed that Zhuang Yu and Mohammed are not compatible.

On the sidelines, Coach Holland frowned. A 4-point difference was nothing. A 4-point deficit at halftime was nothing. The problem was Zhuang Yu and Mohammed. Fans could see that the two were incompatible. How could he not know the problem?

Just...how to do it?

......

In a blink of an eye, the intermission time passed.

Coach Holland exhaled a breath, looked at the players, seemed to have made some kind of decision, and said: "Latvis, Parker, Anderson, Powell, Zhuang, you guys will come up later."

what?

This... How come they are here?

For a moment, the players were a little confused.

It's not because Zhuang Yu replaced Drew II. Zhuang Yu's performance today is obvious to all, but there is no Mohammed.

The first half of the second half did not include the core of the team.

Everyone looked at Mohammed subconsciously, and saw that his face was gloomy, as if someone owed him eight million, and the displeasure on his face could be seen at a glance.

Of course, Coach Holland also saw it.

But he didn't say anything, just spread out the tactical board: "Pay attention to protecting the rebounds later. We have to play faster and be more flexible. Zhuang's speed is very fast. This is one of our advantages. Protect the rebounds and play more." Fight back.”

"Also, if your touch is not good, then give Zhuang more screens and pick-and-rolls."

Finally, he looked at Zhuang Yu: "Zhuang, as long as you have the chance, just vote. It doesn't matter if one or two don't score. Believe in yourself, the next one will definitely score."

Zhuang Yu was excited and nodded heavily: "Yes, coach."

After some arrangements, Coach Holland put away the tactical board and said with a pun: "Play hard, you must win this game. If anyone is disobedient and does not put the interests of the team first, , I don’t mind benching him.”

These words were obviously aimed at Mohammed. Mohammed's face became more and more ugly, and fire was about to spurt out of his nostrils.

Several players walked onto the court. Coach Holland stood on the sidelines with his hands behind his back, while Muhammad grunted and sat back on the bench.

Adams, who was next to him, came over and comforted his boss: "Boss, don't worry. You are the core of the team. There is no way the coach will not use you."

"Hmph." Mohammed snorted and sneered in his heart, "I want to see how you can win without me?"

......

On the field.

The second half begins.

Seeing that UCLA didn't play Muhammad, the USC players couldn't help but feel different. They looked at each other and laughed.

Originally, it was not easy for them to defend against Zhuang Yu and Mohammed, but now there is only Zhuang Yu, so there is no problem.

UCLA gets the ball.

At this time, USC was playing their entire starting lineup, with Wright, Austin, Sharpe, Dylan, and Reed all in the lineup.

Several people quickly got into position, still staring at the four-point line. Reid jumped directly outside the three-point line, raised one hand and put the other hand below, pressing his body against Zhuang Yu, exerting defensive pressure on Zhuang Yu. Fight against the body...
