Chapter 103 Basketball Is Not Alone
Chen Mo was stared at by one person, and it was not easy to make a three-pointer.
Obviously, Edlin's target for Chen Mo was a three-pointer, whether he shot suddenly or not.
As for the breakthrough?
Hehe, the most effective way to assist in defense is to release breakthroughs and rotate defenses after losing positions.
What's more, relying on Chen Mo's younger brother's level of breakthrough, it's not too easy to defend.
Due to Syracuse University's sudden change of recruitment, Chen Mo couldn't get used to it for a while, and the rest of UCLA couldn't get used to it either.
The basketball went around and didn't find a good opportunity. In the end, Cedric could only hit the inside.
This time, Foss was obviously already prepared, had been waiting for Cedric, and gave him a big hat directly.
As for Syracuse University, it still continued the style of play just now. When Anthony was double-teamed, he passed the ball resolutely.
It just so happened that today, Warrick stood up and hit the basket consecutively, Kapono really couldn't guard against it.
The rest of the Syracuse University pass is very simple, just throw the basketball to the basket, and Warrick can grab it anyway.
18:19
UCLA fell behind again, and more importantly, tactically, they were at a disadvantage.
Looking back, UCLA continued to attack. This time, Chen Mo held the ball and let Kapono run.
However, Syracuse University was determined to play the zone defense, and no one followed Kapono at all, and Kapono was stunned and couldn't run out of the opportunity.
There was no other way, Chen Mo could only come by himself, asked for a pick-and-roll, but was immediately double-teamed.
After finally passing the ball, Syracuse University's rotation was very fast, and there was no good opportunity at all.
This time it was Cummings, who had a good chance in the middle distance, but still failed to make a shot.
When Syracuse University was attacking, it relied on Anthony to attract double-teams, and it was still constantly creating opportunities.
This time, when Edlin finally showed his big brother, he hit a three-pointer against Chen Mo.
18:22
It was still exactly the same as before, Chen Mo was watched to death, and the others didn't have a good chance.
This time, Chen Mo was also a little anxious, and shot directly at the defense, but the basketball hit the basket and went out.
In the process of defense, due to the late double-teaming by Kapono, Anthony forced another one.
18:24
In a blink of an eye, UCLA has fallen behind by 6 points.
It's still only the first half, and a 6-point difference is nothing, but the problem is that UCLA is in trouble.
In the face of Syracuse University's tactics, UCLA's response seems to be ineffective.
For a moment, all the teams couldn't help exclaiming, is this the way to defend Chen Mo?
Why didn't we think of it?
University of Arizona, University of Oregon, University of Texas, Marquette University are depressed...
Coach Steve reacted quickly this time and called a timeout in time.
Well, it's already very slow, from leading by 3 points to trailing by 6 points, the difference is nearly 10 points.
Coach Steve made tactical arrangements and made very big adjustments.
In the next game, Kapono needs to stand up, and there is also Cedric's breakthrough.
For a moment, UCLA's positional offensive tactics returned to the rhythm of last year.
It's not that Chen Mo is powerless, but that he needs his teammates to share the pressure.
Today, half of the defensive pressure is concentrated on Chen Mo, and at this time, teammates need to stand up.
Only when someone else threw the ball in and diverted Syracuse University's attention did Chen Mo have a chance.
Just like just now, Anthony has been double-teamed and has no good chance at all.
As a result, with Warrick and Edlin scoring consecutive goals, UCLA's defensive attention inevitably shifted back.
And Anthony also seized the opportunity just now, and then scored another goal sneakily.
Arrange the tactics and get back into the game.
Chen Mo is still holding the ball, but now Chen Mo has become the starting point of the offense, not the end point.
Let Cummings come over to pick and roll, just as Chen Mo made a move, Edlin and Anthony immediately stepped forward to double-team.
Naturally, Chen Mo didn't dare to delay, and after pulling the two apart a little, he immediately passed the ball.
At this time, Cummings had already pulled away, and Chen Mo's ball was passed to him.
The reason why Cummings came to pick and roll instead of Hollins is to have more choices.
Cummings holds the ball, can choose to pass the ball, or attack the basket, and he even has a mid-range shot.
Coach Steve had already made tactical arrangements. At this time, Kapono had already escaped under the cover of Hollins.
Outside the three-point line, Kapono catches the ball and makes a shot.
At present, it seems that UCLA's tactical arrangement has been completed, and the final question is whether it can make the ball.
"Bang!"
Unfortunately, what people never expected was that Kapono missed the goal.
The good news is that looking back, Foss's high-post goal was destroyed by Chen Mo and completed a wonderful steal.
Chen Mo took the opportunity to launch a fast attack, Hollins followed up in the back row, and completed an alley-oop with Chen Mo.
Syracuse University was not in a hurry at all, but launched tactics step by step.
I have to say that it was obviously a very simple tactic, but it was tricked by Syracuse University.
Especially Warrick, who has poor autonomous offensive ability, can play with ease in this tactical system.
Coupled with veteran players like Edlin, they are very stable at critical moments and can often perform beyond expectations.
In the 20-minute game in the first half, everyone was fast and slow, and it ended like this.
38:50, UCLA trailed by 12 points at halftime.
It has to be said that throughout the season, UCLA has been making great strides, rarely falling behind, let alone falling behind by so many points.
That is, in the final of the Pacific Division Championship, because the mentality was affected, they fell behind in the first half.
Is there a problem with UCLA's performance when it comes to the finals?
Chen Mo felt a little helpless, it wasn't that he played badly, nor did his teammates play badly.
Well, except for Cedric, everyone else played really badly today.
The point is that UCLA's tactics were played out, but at the last moment of trembling, they failed to score the ball.
Moreover, everyone has bad performances, so just because this is the final, you can't complain in your heart.
"Okay, it's not time to be discouraged, there is still the second half, we haven't lost yet.
Although we lost in the first half, in fact, we played not badly, and we have already played out our tactics. "
As a coach, Coach Steve is still very seasoned. He knows that there is no pressure at this time.
Scolding the players under such circumstances will only increase their pressure.
What's more, UCLA did not play badly. No one played indiscriminately, and everyone played according to tactics.
"Since it's my tactic, even if I lose, it's still my responsibility!"
Coach Steve took the initiative to take responsibility. It has to be said that he is like a real coach at this time.
Among other things, Chen Mo could clearly see that Hollins and Cummings, two rookies, breathed a sigh of relief.
It was also at this time that Chen Mo really understood that the movement of 5 people in basketball is not even just 5 people.
No matter how strong a person is, there are times when he is weak.
No wonder Lao Zhan insists on playing brother basketball in the future, there is nothing he can do about it!
