Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Chapter 469 A wild pass!

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, Drew II hit a jumper.

This was an assist from Anderson. The first half was already halfway through, and UCLA still led the opponent by 9 points.

"Shet," Coach Klieman cursed under his breath.

I thought that the rotating lineup could chase some points, and even if it couldn't even out the points difference, it should at least narrow it a bit, but I didn't expect...

During this period, both sides are playing rotating lineups. UCLa is led by Anderson, the new "sixth man", and he is paired with Drew II, Adams, David, and Lamb, a starter. Four substitutes.

This is the lineup, but it was neck and neck with the University of Southern California.

Of course, USC also plays a rotation.

"Anderson played really well." Assistant Coach Wesley smiled and praised Anderson in front of Coach Holland.

"Well, it seems that he has adapted to the role of the sixth man." Coach Holland smiled and was very satisfied with Anderson's performance.

During this period, Anderson led the rotation, not only able to organize offense, but also score by himself. He also did well on the defensive end and rebounding.

Although it is still not as good as Zhuang Yu, it can be regarded as a weakened version of Zhuang Yu.

When Zhuang Yu was playing as the sixth man, he was also able to organize, score, and defend well. He relied on his outstanding passing vision and passing skills, excellent offensive skills and speed, and super defense. Anticipation.

As for Anderson, on the offensive end, he relies on his unique rhythm, as well as his body shape that can be cut off at will from positions 1-3, as well as his dribbling skills and passing skills that he once played as a point guard. On the defensive end, he relies on Excellent defensive awareness, as well as height and wingspan.

The two rely on different things, but there are similarities in the way they affect the game, and these are exactly what it takes to become an excellent sixth man.

Anderson was able to adapt to the role of the sixth man so quickly not only because of his own adaptability, but also because he already has the conditions to become the sixth man.

......

"Requesting a timeout."

USC requested a timeout.

At this time, UCLa was still leading by 8 points. It looked the same as when Zhuang Yu went down, but coach Holland was very satisfied.

After all, the opponent is the third-ranked team in the regular season.

"The opponent is about to change into the starting lineup." Coach Holland said to himself, clapped his hands to summon the players, and began to make substitutions, "Drew II, Adams, Lamb, you three come down and rest. Zhuang Yu, Smith, Latvis, come on."

"Yes." Several people responded.

Later, Coach Holland spread out the tactical board and made some arrangements for the tactics.

......

After a moment, the pause ends.

When both sides returned to the court, they both conducted personnel rotations and began to gradually replace the main players for the last few minutes of the first half.

USC scored one as soon as they came on. They relied on the tacit cooperation of several players and used constant passes and cuts to get opportunities. Finally, guard Dylan made a throw.

"I have to say that the University of Southern California's tactical coordination is indeed excellent, and its tactical execution ability is also very strong." Zhuang Yu said to himself.

He gets the ball in the backcourt and starts the attack.

At this time, Zhuang Yu was playing the No. 1 position in this lineup. He pushed the ball into the frontcourt and saw that the opponent was still adopting the strategy of man-marking and zone defense. He immediately broke through. First, he lowered his left shoulder and made a hip dribble. Taking the ball, he took a step to the left, then made a reverse movement, pulled the ball back, then adjusted his center of gravity and broke through to the right.

At this time, the substitute defender Conard was facing Zhuang Yu. He felt helpless because he really couldn't guard against Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu passed Conard, then headed towards the basket. After entering the three-second zone, he hugged the ball and jumped up.

"Humph."

"court death."

The two USC insiders jumped up together, raising their big hands like cattail fans, about to fan down the basketball.

However, the next moment, Zhuang Yu flicked the ball and passed it to the center.

At this time, a figure cut in along the middle. It was Anderson. He and Zhuang Yu had a tacit understanding. When he saw Zhuang Yu's breakthrough, he immediately cut.

Sure enough, Zhuang Yu passed the ball over, and Anderson smiled knowingly, grabbed the ball and threw it towards the basket with one hand.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

"Kyle, this guy doesn't buckle." Zhuang Yu couldn't help laughing.

This goal was scored, and the score difference was still 8 points.

In the next few rounds, the two sides went back and forth, but the score was still around ten, which made Coach Klieman very depressed. He made another substitution and replaced the starting lineup.

Ucla also made substitutions. Coach Holland replaced Anderson, David, and Smith, and replaced them with Parker, Powell, and Drew II.

At this time, Zhuang Yu returned to position 3 and faced off against the opponent's small forward Sharp again. Sharp's defensive strategy still faced Zhuang Yu, making Zhuang Yu uncomfortable.

Zhuang Yu didn't care, he was more about creating opportunities for his teammates. Even if he didn't take a shot, he could attract the defense and open up space for his teammates by standing on the court, and he could also get the ball to his teammates in time. As long as he stood on the court, If his teammates feel good, he will get an assist.

"Parker, cover for Powell."

Zhuang Yu dribbles with one hand and directs his teammates with the other. Sharp is still close to him, waving his arms up and down to interfere with Zhuang Yu.

At the same time, Parker screened Powell, who cut along the left baseline. Zhuang Yu suddenly grabbed the basketball with his left hand and passed the ball behind his back.

"Wow..."

Suddenly, the fans' eyes widened in the auditorium.

"what?"

Sharp was taken aback. He waved his arms up and down in order to interfere with Zhuang Yu's passing, but he never expected that Zhuang Yu would pass like this.

Passing the ball behind the back with one hand, or with the left hand, the key is that Zhuang Yu is outside the three-point line at the moment, still a long way away from Powell. Isn't he afraid of making a mistake in passing like this?

Xia Pu obviously underestimated Zhuang Yu.

For others, such a pass may not be safe, but Zhuang Yu has a pair of big hands, and under the advice of assistant coach Wesley, he increased the training of one-handed passing. He has put a lot of effort into this and is now able to do it. Passed the ball accurately with one hand.

Of course, the distance is indeed a bit far, but Zhuang Yu is very skillful in passing the ball. He has already calculated a safe passing route.

I saw the basketball flying out of Zhuang Yu's hands, but it did not fly straight, but flew upwards, drawing an arc in the air and over the heads of the defensive players.

After reaching the top, the ball dropped quickly and was just a little to the left of the hoop. Powell jumped up, grabbed the ball in the air and put it into the basket.

"nice shot."

"Oh my god, this ball was passed so beautifully."

"It's a pity that Powell didn't dunk. I guess he didn't expect Zhuang to pass the ball like this, so he forgot to dunk, haha..."

The home fans were excited and cheered loudly.

Powell really didn't expect Zhuang Yu to pass the ball like this. It was so unreasonable. He didn't react for a while and was not ready for an alley-oop dunk, so he could only put the ball into the basket.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s still two points.

"Damn it."

Coach Klieman’s face was ashen.

When the two sides changed to the starting lineup, the point difference began to widen again, and soon reached 10 points.

By the end of the first half, the score was 41:31, and UCLa led by 10 points.

During halftime, the players returned to the locker room, and the fans in the audience relaxed and gathered together to chat.

"We led by 10 points at halftime, and the game was solid today."

"It's a little early to say for sure, but we have a great hope of winning. We played very well today."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that after adjusting the lineup, not letting Muhammad play, and turning Zhuang Zheng as the core of the team, the team's strength has not weakened, but has become stronger than before. The lineup was probably the last few games of the regular season. The integration is not in place yet, and it feels like it will be different after the quarterfinals.”

There are also some fans who understand football, and we can see some clues from the first half of UCLA's game.

Of course, for the home fans, it is more of a joy.
