Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Chapter 481 Tied again!

"Arizona leads again."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a 5-point lead. We can catch up with the score when we change to the main lineup later."

A few minutes after Zhuang Yu came off the court, the University of Arizona regained the lead, but the lead was not much, only 5 points, which was still within the acceptable range.

But we cannot allow the point difference to continue to widen.

Coach Holland glanced at the time, called a timeout, and then began to make substitutions, taking out the substitute players and replacing them with Zhuang Yu and the main players.

He looked at Anderson, hesitated, and asked, "Kyle, how is your physical condition? Can you continue to play?"

Anderson wiped his sweat and nodded: "No problem."

"Well, you continue to play, Hill will be left to you, guard him." Coach Holland patted Anderson's arm.

In the past, Anderson was replaced at this time and Drew II was replaced, with Zhuang Yu playing the 3rd position and Drew II playing the 1st position. But the opponent will definitely switch to the main lineup later, and most of them will still use the 2-1-2 formation to target Zhuang Yu like the first half.

So Coach Holland hopes that Anderson will stay on the court. He hopes that Anderson can play two more minutes to catch up with the score, and then replace Drew II.

"The opponent will definitely switch to their main lineup later, and they will probably use a 2-1-2 formation to target Zhuang Yu."

After the substitution, Coach Holland spread out the tactical board: "Zhuang Yu still plays without the ball. You have to give him more screens and pick-and-rolls. Anderson, you are responsible for guarding Hill and organizing the offense. Pay attention to getting the ball to Zhuang Yu in time." Come on, just like before..."

After some arrangements, the pause ended.

Players from both sides returned to the court and made personnel rotations, replacing their main players, because there were only a few minutes left in the first half.

"Hey, Anderson is still not replaced." Durant raised his eyebrows and said: "This is indeed a way. If Anderson can maintain his previous performance and provide stable help to Zhuang, there is a high hope that he can catch up before the end of the first half. The score is up.”

"It's just that this will be a test for Anderson's physical fitness." Westbrook nodded, still a little worried.

Anderson played very well during this period, but when he is on the court and Zhuang Yu is allowed to play without the ball, the University of Arizona's effectiveness against Zhuang Yu will be greatly reduced.

It's just obvious that this will consume a lot of money for Anderson.

After all, he not only has to guard the opponent's ace player Hill on the defensive end, but also organizes the offense on the offensive end. He also has to lead the rotation as the "sixth man" during rotation time. There are too many things that need to be done by him. .

......

on the field.

When UCLA attacked, Zhuang Yu took the ball and advanced. When he reached the frontcourt, he saw that the opponent had set up a 2-1-2 formation again. Sarri immediately rushed outside the three-point line and launched a close defense, just like before. strategy.

The reason why it is Sarri and not Johnson is because Johnson is several centimeters shorter than Zhuang Yu and his shooting effect against Zhuang Yu is not as good as Surrey's.

"Pick and roll."

Zhuang Yu called a pick-and-roll for the purpose of testing.

As a result, as soon as the opponent encountered a pick-and-roll, he switched defenses, and Hill came up and blocked Zhuang Yu.

Seeing this situation, Zhuang Yu stopped thinking and immediately passed the ball to Anderson. He first cut inside, then circled around and walked to the three-point line in the right corner.

"Damn, it's this again."

Hill cursed secretly in annoyance. He knew that Zhuang Yu was playing without the ball again and looking for opportunities to shoot three-pointers. He struggled to get around the screen and tried to catch up with Zhuang Yu.

However, Zhuang Yu was faster than him, and with the cover of his teammates, it was difficult for Hill to catch up in time. Zhuang Yu came to the right corner and then walked up the line. At the same time, Anderson walked to the bottom corner. The two crossed paths and Anderson passed the ball to Zhuang Yu hand in hand.

After Hill was blocked by UCLa's screen, the University of Arizona quickly switched defense, and power forward Felton was chasing Zhuang Yu. But after Anderson passed the ball hand-to-hand, he turned sideways and provided a screen for Zhuang Yu, blocking Felton.

"Nick (Nick Johnson), switch defense." Felton yelled.

It has to be said that the University of Arizona's defense was very good and the defense changed very quickly. Hearing Felton's voice, Johnson immediately threw away Anderson and pounced on Zhuang Yu.

However, he is not tall enough.

Zhuang Yu took a step forward after taking the ball, then suddenly took a sideways step, further widened the distance, and jumped up to shoot a three-pointer.

"Damn it."

Johnson cursed. He had tried his best to interfere, but he was not as tall as Zhuang Yu. He could not reach Zhuang Yu if he took a sideways step.

Swish!

The next moment, the ball was scored and the score difference was 2 points.

Seeing this ball, Coach Holland breathed a sigh of relief. Zhuang Yu's touch was still there, and his tacit understanding with Anderson was still as good as ever.

That's good.

When the University of Arizona attacked, it was still Anderson who defended Hill. Hill took the initiative to ask for the ball. His face was ugly and his eyes were evil.

"Hmph, you want to guard me. I didn't take it seriously before, but now I'm going to let you know how good I am." Hill immediately went to singles.

He was unexpectedly guarded by a UCLa substitute player and a freshman. He felt very humiliated and desperately wanted to regain his face.

I saw him first dribbling the ball from his hips, then accelerating to break through. After dribbling one step, he hugged the ball and took three big steps. When he took the second step, he took the initiative to lean on Anderson, actively looking for confrontation, and wanted to force Anderson to be helpless. Jump up and he can lay up with ease.

However, Anderson was very smart and retreated early without allowing Hill to fight. Hill's heart thumped and the entire rhythm was disrupted.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take action.

boom!

The ball didn't go in, his rhythm was disrupted, and he was interfered with by Anderson's long arm.

......

A few more rounds passed in the blink of an eye.

When Zhuang Yu came back, UCLA quickly chased the points. On offense, Zhuang Yu's off-ball shooting was still accurate, and he also cooperated well with Anderson. On the defensive end, Anderson's defense against Hill was even better than before.

After a few rounds, the 5-point difference was quickly erased.

"Fake."

Hill cursed in a low voice, becoming more and more angry. He glanced at the scoreboard, his eyes were a little red, and after getting the ball, he singled Anderson again.

This time he played briefly and roughly. With a simple change of direction, he thought of killing the inside line. Instead, Anderson predicted it in advance. He only heard a soft "pop" sound. Hill's face froze. He found that on his hand The ball is missing.

"Wow..."

There was an uproar in the audience.

Hill was intercepted!

Anderson successfully stole Hill, then quickly ran out, grabbed the basketball and rushed forward. Hill reacted, turned around and gave chase.

This steal was sudden. Anderson made a sudden move and surpassed everyone. After reaching the frontcourt, he hugged the ball and jumped up, ready for a layup.

"careful......"

Suddenly, exclamations sounded.

Anderson's heart skipped a beat, and before he could react, he felt a strong force coming from him. He lost his balance in the air and flew out.
