Chapter 81
Butler hesitated, came to Westbrook, and said:

"I knew you wouldn't dare to shoot a three-pointer."

In his opinion, this kind of trash talk with no force at all has no effect at all.

But if the boss asked him to do this, then he would complete it without any compromise.

Westbrook glanced at him angrily:
"Is that all you can say?"

"You don't shoot threes anyway," Butler said.

He decided to just say this sentence, otherwise he was afraid that he couldn't help it, and started to talk trash commonly used on the street, which made Westbrook anxious, and the two fought again.

That's it, I can't cause trouble!

Butler made up his mind that there will be no other communication with Westbrook in this game.

Westbrook clenched his fist, decided not to be as knowledgeable as a fool, and quickly returned to defense.

The Bulldogs attack, Curry runs off the ball again, and Westbrook puts all his attention on him this time, nimbly bypassing all screens and leaving him open.

Curry finally received a pass from his teammate, but Westbrook still stopped in front of him.

Curry shook twice, seeing that he was unmoved, he passed the ball again.

Westbrook breathed a sigh of relief.

Curry was so good at getting around that he almost got thrown off.

The moment he slackened, Curry started again, cutting inside, and Westbrook quickly followed.

But as soon as Curry took two steps, he stopped, and then he ran back and retreated. Westbrook rushed forward under the influence of inertia, and then he realized that he turned and ran back in a hurry.

But Curry has already gained a shot space, Ben Slaton quickly passed the ball, Curry made a shot after catching the ball, and scored a three-pointer!
6: 4.

"Curry took the Bulldogs' first 6 points with the three-point catch after running without the ball! Larry, does Curry have the style you used to?" Jim Nantz said.

Larry Bird laughed and said:

"Of course not. When I run without the ball beyond the three-point line, no one will follow so closely!"

"Are you saying your three-pointer is not as good as Curry?" Jim Nantz joked.

"In the NCAA, I am indeed not as good as him. Even looking at history, there is no three-pointer of any college player that can compare with him. I am looking forward to his performance in the NBA." Larry Bird said.

Watching the Bulldogs on and off for a year in Indiana, Larry Bird grew to appreciate Curry.

After the goal, Curry danced in front of Westbrook, nearly throwing his braces off.

Westbrook's gaze at Curry began to become unfriendly.

Just scored two goals, why are you so happy?

Not only that, because Westbrook wants to defend Curry, he has watched a lot of Curry's game videos in the past two days to understand his game habits in order to conduct targeted defense.

When he saw Curry scoring a triple-double against Virginia Tech, he suddenly felt a desire. This is the way a point guard should play!
Especially the tactics that Zhang Yu arranged for Curry in that game made him inexplicably feel a sense of loss, as if something that should have belonged to him had been snatched away.

When I have a chance in the future, I will also try. Men should take all the responsibilities of the team, including scoring, assists, rebounding...

But now, I have to teach this baby face a lesson.

"Do you only catch and shoot? You don't even dare to challenge my defense, jerk!" Westbrook said disdainfully.

Curry shrugged:

"Next round, do you dare to defend me alone?"

"Come on!" Westbrook provoked Curry, which he couldn't wish for!
Curry made an "OK" gesture and retreated to the backcourt to defend.

Westbrook took the teammate's serve and came to the frontcourt, and it was Butler who defended him.

He had just reached the top of the arc, only to find that Butler had retreated to the free throw line waiting for him.

"Do you dare to shoot a three-pointer?" Butler said blankly.

Fake!

Are you a repeater!

Westbrook is not a very good-tempered person, especially on the court.

His anger had already been provoked by Butler and Curry, and Holland's exhortations were immediately forgotten.

Westbrook didn't pass to Love, but he also didn't shoot a [-]-pointer, instead trying to get past Butler's defense.

It's just that Westbrook at this time is not Master Wei, Turtle, Megatron...he is just a sophomore who is good at rampage.

With plenty of room to react, he failed to break through Butler's line of defense, and the two got entangled again.

Butler's hand was firmly on Westbrook's head. He flickered around and couldn't find a space to shoot. In the end, he could only throw the ball in an extreme backward posture.

He didn't even see the frame of the ball, so naturally it ended with a strike, and the rebound was protected by Campbell.

Butler put it another way:

"Would you like to try three points?"

The veins on Westbrook's forehead popped up. He clenched his fists and then slowly loosened them. He took a few deep breaths to calm down the anger in his heart.

Do you dare to say something else?
Back on the defensive end, Westbrook was holding back his anger and had nowhere to vent.

Curry stood in front of him with the ball, waving for his teammates to pull away.

The meaning is obvious, he wants to single Westbrook!

"Everyone else on the Bulldogs stands far away to open space for Curry. He's going to single out Westbrook! IMHO, this is not a good choice. Westbrook is a UCLA defensive expert. His single He is the best defensive player of the year in the Pac-[-], and Curry should continue to target him off the ball instead of challenging Westbrook head-on!" As a native of Charlotte, Jim Nantz is still slightly biased Curry a little.

And Zhang Yu on the sidelines saw Curry take the initiative to find Westbrook, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The fun has begun.

Westbrook greeted him with confidence. With the help of the coaching staff before the game, he carefully studied the details of Curry's game, and he was confident in limiting him.

He stretched out his long arms that Curry envied, and straddled between Curry and the basket. Although it was not high, it was like an indestructible mountain, exuding a sense of oppression.

Instead of finding rhythm through the dribble as usual, Curry turned around halfway and protected the ball with his left hand.

Westbrook didn't shoot rashly, but put his hand on Curry's waist to prevent him from suddenly shooting hard.

But he waited for a while, and Curry still didn't move, but looked up and looked around, as if observing his teammates' running positions.

Westbrook couldn't hold back, and suddenly stretched out his hand, trying to break the ball off guard.

With super fast hand speed, he tried this trick repeatedly before.

But Curry suddenly turned around when he stretched out his hand, swung the ball from right to left with both hands, hit his arm, and the basketball flew into the sky.

Westbrook is confused, what kind of operation is this?
He didn't think much about it, caught the falling basketball, bypassed Curry, and was about to push a fast break.

"Di-"

But at this moment, the referee's whistle sounded, and Westbrook stopped in surprise, seeing the referee make a defensive foul gesture.

He ran to the referee with the ball in his arms, spread his hands, and said very puzzled:

"Sir, he touched me on his own initiative. How can this be a foul?"

"Your arm violated his cylinder," the referee said.

"This is ridiculous! He didn't make a shot at all!" Westbrook yelled.

"Are you questioning my judgment?" The referee turned cold.

"No, sir, I respect your penalty." Westbrook didn't dare to say anything more, and could only watch Curry walk to the free throw line angrily.

On the sidelines, Zhang Yu noticed the change in Westbrook's mood and smiled slightly. It seems that the big swing he taught Curry is still very effective.

Under Westbrook's angry gaze, Curry walked to the free throw line and made three free throws.

9: 4.

"You will use this kind of dirty tricks, won't you? You jerk!" Westbrook leaned over to Curry and whispered.

"I can score, can you?" Curry said nonchalantly.

You...wait for me!

Westbrook cursed secretly, but couldn't refute.

He really didn't score a point after the start.

If the coach hadn't asked Kevin to attack, I would have blown you up long ago...

Westbrook suppressed the high desire to attack and lobbed the ball to Love.

Facing Campbell, Love hit a solid turnaround jumper from mid-range.

9: 6.

Curry took the initiative to find Westbrook this time:

"It seems that you really can't score."

After he finished speaking, regardless of the change in Westbrook's expression, he came to the frontcourt and ran without the ball.

But Westbrook followed the ball very closely, and Curry didn't find a good opportunity. Instead, Ben Slaton hit Love through the pick-and-roll.

11: 6.

Looking back, the UCLA offense.

This time Westbrook didn't pass the ball to Love again. He was really stimulated by Curry and Butler, and he had to do this ball by himself.

Let's see if I can score!
He was still facing Butler's three-step style of play, and Butler didn't raise his hand, as if saying I knew you wouldn't dare to shoot.

Westbrook's mind became hot, he aimed at the frame, and shot a three-pointer directly at the top of the arc!
Bang!

The basketball bounced out of the hoop, and the basket instantly scrambled into a ball.

Drew and Campbell worked together to protect the backcourt rebounds, the Bulldogs pushed for a fast break, Campbell passed the ball through Curry, and succeeded in an empty catch.

"Don't force yourself if you can't make a shot." Butler looked at Westbrook with "concern" when he retreated.

Shet!

Westbrook was so angry that he threw aside the coach's advice. He must teach Butler a lesson!

But he is not a fool, he knows that shooting is not his strong point, he has his own foundation!

"Kevin, let's play a pick-and-roll later." Westbrook came to Love and whispered.

"But the coach's tactics..." Love hesitated.

"Help me, that number 33 has been provoking me!" Westbrook said.

"Okay." Le Fu finally agreed.

As his senior, Westbrook took good care of him on weekdays and was very righteous. He stood up for him a few times, and he could not refuse this request.

In the next round, he took the initiative to withdraw from the three-point line and set up a screen for Westbrook.

With the help of Love's cover, Westbrook got rid of Butler's half body and rushed to the inside.But Drew came up in time to help defend.

Real is a blue-collar center, and his offensive threat outside the penalty area is almost zero. Drew can boldly let him go.

Westbrook didn't panic in the face of the supplementary defense, and made a throw, but his hand was very stiff, and the basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

The rebound was protected by Drew, the Bulldogs took the opportunity to push a fast break, and Butler succeeded in attacking the frame.

13: 6.

In the next round, Westbrook once again beckoned Love to come up as a screen.

This time he made an extreme fold in the air, escaped Drew's defense, and dunked the basketball with both hands.

After landing, he roared, and took the overlord step.

Who dares to say that I can't score?

UCLA fans also cheered for the Wizards' goal, which made Westbrook firmly believe that this game depends on himself!

Afterwards, he frequently attacked with the ball, attacking the frame very resolutely, at the same time looking for opportunities to pass the ball to his teammates, and took control of the ball in his own hands.

And Love can only act as a space point, attacking with the ball from time to time, the sense of presence has become very low compared with the opening.

However, under the strict defense of the Bulldogs, Westbrook's offensive momentum is not small, but the success rate is not high. Several times the ball was intercepted by the Bulldogs who had been prepared for a long time. UCLA's score was very slow.

On the other hand, the Bulldogs, after Westbrook missed a shot, played several fast breaks in succession, which filled the rhythm of the game and quickly opened up the score.

At 13 minutes into the first half, the Bulldogs had a 27-point lead at 15:12.

Holland called a timeout and reiterated the tactic of letting Love play the main game.

After returning, Westbrook gave up the ball, Love played in the low post several times, and UCLA's situation improved.

But Curry found an opportunity to make a foul by Westbrook with a swinging arm swing, and deliberately induced him to steal himself, passed him with a dribble behind the back, and successfully aroused his anger.

In the ensuing game, Westbrook couldn't suppress his desire to attack at all, and frequently held the ball to attack the Bulldogs inside, but with little effect.

After all, he is just a fledgling at this time, not yet a tortoise, let alone an MVP.

Bang!

Westbrook's layup went out of the basket again under Drew's interference, and the Bulldogs counterattacked again. Curry hit a super long three-pointer in the fast break, which aroused warm cheers from the Bulldogs fans in the arena.

The game has progressed to the 10th minute of the second half, and the Bulldogs lead UCLA by 60 points at 44:16, and the situation is very good.

Stevens on the sidelines looked at Westbrook's dissatisfied face and exclaimed:

"Ronan, how do you know that Westbrook will play a lot of balls? Kevin Love has been UCLA's main attacker before!"

Although Westbrook is very popular with his explosive style of play, his scoring average is lower than that of Love, averaging only 12.5 points per game, while Love can average 17.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. the core of the attack.

Before the game, Zhang Yu proposed the idea of ​​having Butler and Curry provoke Westbrook and induce him to attack. Stevens expressed his opposition at the time. He did not think such a simple aggressive method would make Westbrook lose his mind.

But now, the facts are in front of him, and Stevens has to admit that Zhang Yu's tactics are too effective.
