Chapter 29 The Unyielding Opponents

As the head coach of UCLA, a traditional NCAA giant, Holland is certainly not a fool.

He knew that if he wanted to curb the Tigers' fast-paced offense, the best way was to slow down their advance.

If there is a situation of playing more or less or playing less in the frontcourt, it is completely dependent on the personal ability of the players to play, and the defensive system that the team has worked so hard to establish will not be able to play at all.

Among them, the most effective is to prevent them from serving quickly and give players sufficient time to return to defense.

Once the Tigers' current counterattack starts, although it can't reach the point of the seven-second offense of the peak Suns, it is definitely possible to end a round in ten seconds.

The backcourt trio rushing like a tide, coupled with their excellent skills and strong physical fitness, put too much pressure on the defensive players.

So this ball, Love blocked Joey Dorsey for the first time.

Joey Dorsey was indeed restrained, and it took several seconds to successfully hand the ball to Rose who stepped forward to meet him.

Rose looked up and took a look at the frontcourt, and found that all the UCLA players except Love had settled down. Love was also struggling to run to the backcourt, so he slowed down and waited for Joey Dorsey to pass first. , it was only half time.

When Joey Dorsey passed Westbrook, he made a fake pick-and-roll, which shocked Westbrook, and then ran to the inside with his butt pouted.

However, Rose did not take advantage of Joey Dorsey's sudden pick-and-roll to launch an offense. Although the Tigers played recklessly, they are also a group of reckless men with brains, and they usually have tactical training.

Li Ran ran up from the wing to catch the ball, Rose ran to the strong side, CDR and Joey Dorsey crossed positions, Joey Dorsey helped CDR pick and roll when they crossed, and successfully helped him block the defender behind him.

At the same time, Li Ran passed the ball to Joey Dorsey who was pulling the outside line. Joey Dorsey acted as a bridge and handed the ball back to Rose, who directly hoisted the ball into the inside line.

CDR just came into the paint and received a pass from Rose comfortably.

He jumped up and dunked the ball into the basket through Love.

The entire tactic runs smoothly.

Darren Collison stood under the basket in a daze, watching CDR dunk Love.

What can he do?
He's just a defender. . .

Should he jump up and press CDR's dunk on the backboard? (There is a picture, I will try to post it and see if I can post it)

After the CDR landed, Li Ran was the first to run up and gave him a chest bump.

"You're flying too low, Chris!" Li Ran said to CDR with a smile.

CDR smiled embarrassedly, with uncontrollable joy in his eyes.

Love stood helplessly under the basket, looking at the Tigers members who were celebrating with their hips crossed.

He found that in this game, the opponent seemed to have played too many taxi balloons.

Li Ran's breakthrough dunk, alley-oop, unreasonable three-pointer, CDR's dunk, Rose couldn't prevent the pull-up layup. . . .

On the UCLA side, Mbah a Moute has more than enough defense and weak offense.

Darren Collison has limited talent, and it is more than enough for him to sort out the team's offense, but it is a bit difficult for him to stand up at critical moments.

Westbrook is talented and physically excellent, but he seems to have less brains and is too immature.

After thinking about it, the diligent and conscientious Lefu father silently carried the team up.

In the next round, after he and Westbrook picked and rolled, he unexpectedly cut outside, and after receiving Westbrook's ball, he pulled directly.

The fiery touch made the ball go into the basket smoothly, and Li Ran, who rushed up half a beat late, could only look at the ball and sigh.

He originally thought that Love would still play a traditional pick-and-roll with Westbrook, but he didn't expect that Love didn't go in, which caught him off guard.

It doesn't matter, if someone beats you in, just beat it back.

Of course Rose knew what Li Ran was thinking. When he reached the front court, he made a gesture.

This is a singles tactic specially designed for Li Ran.

After a series of moves, Li Ran got the ball on the weak side with 17 seconds left.

At this moment in front of him was Darren Collison who was trembling.

In this exciting and intense first half, if there is anyone who casts the biggest shadow on Li Ran, it is not Love, who is fighting against him, or Westbrook, who is a little out of his wits.

It's Darren Collison.

He is the kind of traditional point guard, and what he is most afraid of is defending these combo guards or swingmen with defying physical fitness.

Ross counts as one, and so does Li Ran.

Fortunately, he didn't have the chance to face Li Ran directly.

But now, Li Ran was one meter in front of him, watching him while dribbling.

Darren Collison suddenly felt cold all over.

Li Ran dribbled the ball twice, turned around lightly, leaned against Collison, and then pulled back.

Then, he made a sharp change of direction.

Seeing Li Ran's CrossOver, Collison quickly shifted his focus.

Unexpectedly, when Li Ran dribbled the ball to the lowest point, his right hand suddenly swung forward.

The ball passed through Collison's crotch almost from the height of the ground.

Then, Li Ran directly squeezed past Collison, bent down and grabbed the basketball that had just rebounded a little, and didn't continue to dribble. He took two steps forward, jumped with both feet at the same time, and slammed into the dunk.

His arms are so straight that he doesn't need to jump very high to reach the rim.

Hardaway was off the court, and felt that this scene seemed familiar.

It's like Jordan again.

It's just that Li Ran's dribble was more exciting than Jordan's.

After humiliating Darren Collison with a crotch dribble, Li Ran was expressionless. He caught the falling basketball, dropped it on the ground, and ran to the backcourt without looking back.

Darren Collison's small face was flushed with anger. At this moment, a big hand was placed on his shoulder.

"It's okay, Darren, just call back, we haven't lost yet."

Love said to Darren Collison with a serious face.

Darren Collison nodded, and quickly rearranged his mentality.

He dribbled the ball and walked to the frontcourt, but his eyes glanced at Li Ran from time to time.

Who doesn't have arrogance when playing basketball.

Who can be the main player in UCLA, or can be the main player in the major NCAA colleges, which one is not the one in a million?
Rose felt that the No. [-] player in front of him suddenly became a little different.

He subconsciously became serious.

But it was useless, Darren Collison crossed left and right and made a fake shoulder shaking, directly breaking through him.

Then, Darren Collison didn't choose to make an emergency stop jump shot, because Li Ran had already made up for it at this time.

He also did not choose to pass the ball, but jumped up without fear, had a physical confrontation with Li Ran in the air, and when he was about to lose his center of gravity, he threw the ball with difficulty.

The moment he shot, the referee's whistle sounded.

The two fell to the ground together, but looked towards the basket at the same time.

The ball bounced a few times on the edge of the basket, and finally fell into it.

Darren Collison lay on the ground and clenched his fists excitedly.

The goal is scored, and a penalty is added!
