The Way of the Center

Chapter 46 : Take the lead alone

The singles tactics were executed within a few rounds, and An Jie successfully led the Cyclone team to reduce the points difference to 2 points. Ben Holland would not wait until the situation got out of control to react. After Anthony Ben completed the dunk, he immediately called a timeout.

“You said that the opportunity was not given for nothing, but now you just say nothing! We have to play our rhythm and game! Don’t be led by the Chinese! If I remember correctly, I did not arrange for you to play in the low position. Huh?” Ben Holland said, focusing on Love.

“I also remember what I said, what we want is man-to-man defense, not double-teaming!” After talking about Love, Bamott, who just made a mistake, was not spared and was criticized by Holland.

“Everything is played according to the rhythm at the beginning of the game. I don’t make adjustments and don’t change your strategy without authorization! How long can that Chinese play? Love, I believe you will not let his performance time continue to grow. “The best player in the Pacific Ten League, if he is not trustworthy, then this team has no one to trust.

What Ben Holland said earlier was correct, but he estimated that he had made a mistake on this last point. An Jie’s strong performance was not interrupted by Love, but continued on the court.

“Angel just did a very good job of defensively in the penalty area! Keep it up!” This was the first sentence Ricard said during the timeout. An Jie also seemed to feel the beauty of controlling the penalty area. Although it was a foul, there is no doubt that he did succeed in making Bamott return without success. Control the restricted area, control the restricted area…

“Westbrook holds the ball! Love pulled to the bottom corner, it seems that UCLA is about to play a usual offensive routine.” ESPN’s commentator was right, and now UCLA’s offense is back to normal.

Pick-and-roll! Bamot and Westbrook’s tacit cooperation! Now the person defending Westbrook has become the defensive gate Anthony Ben.

Speed! Westbrook paused, and seemed a little worried about Anthony Ben’s defense. However, when Anthony Ben also slowed down, Westbrook suddenly started, and the powerful first explosive force made him go straight through the restricted area like an off-string sharp arrow.

“Perfect rhythm! There is no faster guy in the league!”

Anthony Ben reacted quickly and immediately moved to block. But when he made physical contact with the point guard, he knew what Mike Taylor had experienced before.

This point guard, who is only 1.91 meters tall, is no worse than himself in terms of strength and strength! The speed can’t keep up, and the strength is not dominant, Westbrook easily broke through Anthony Ben’s defense.

Asakin’s supplementary defense has not been in place, and the space in the penalty area is enough for Westbrook to complete the offense. But he still glanced at the bottom corner, very good, the Asian is still in front of Love, and no one can interfere with him in this attack.

Seeing Westbrook break through, all three of the Tornadoes rushed into the penalty area. Although this delayed Westbrook’s offensive speed, the space was not completely locked.

Westbrook took off, and everyone in the penalty area followed suit. The scene was suddenly chaotic. Several take-off Cyclone players directly surrounded Westbrook in the middle, so no one knows what is going on with him deep in defense.

The seemingly dense defense is the same as nothing in Westbrook’s eyes. The gap to make up is still not made up. As long as he carefully avoids these outstretched arms, he can easily score the ball.

Whirlwind’s defensive players began to fall from the air, but Westbrook is still rising, and now the eyes are suddenly open, the basket seems to be ready to let the ball into his arms at any time.

“Pop!” Westbrook’s basketball was suddenly shot from behind, and the ball hit the backboard and bounced out again. Westbrook took a surprised look at the bottom corner, and An Jie was not there anymore!

“Block! Anjie actually blocked Westbrook’s layup!”

The interference of all members of the Tornado team has greatly delayed Westbrook’s offensive speed, and An Jie seized the opportunity to abandon Love and rushed towards the penalty area. His desire to defend the penalty area today is extremely strong, even if he has to face a violent physical collision, he will not take a step back. In this way, Anjie once again protected the three-second zone without Westbrook’s knowledge.

Mike Taylor received the ball that popped up outside, and then immediately switched from defensive to attack. The Tornado counterattacked!

Cruze ran in the forefront, Mike Taylor dragged a little behind, and UCLA only Bamott returned to his three-point line. This was a chance for a two-on-one match.

Pass or layup? Barmott stared at Tyler, the guard, whose eyes and body are all fake moves, always shines in the fast break.

Bamotte decided to favor Mike Taylor and pick the most threatening one first.

Taylor really didn’t pass the ball, but jumped and prepared for the layup. Westbrook, who was surprisingly fast behind, also caught up. He jumped with all his strength, ready to get the ball back in the same way.

But after Taylor took off and made a shot, he just took the ball back, and then passed the ball from behind to Cruz, who was already standing at the basket.

Cruze easily scored the ball in the basket, he didn’t even jump.

“Damn it!” Looking at the other party and then blocking and hitting it into a fast break, Westbrook did not expect that he would actually suffer the loss of the Chinese.

“What else can I say!? Today, Anjie’s tough defense turned the three-second zone into a place of death! These small forwards and guards have been brazenly in the penalty area for too long. Now it is time for a center to stand up and let them. Know what dominance is!” Paul Philips is not short in his career, and the picture of the center dominating the league now seems to flash before his eyes again.

13 to 13, now both sides are back on the same starting line.

UCLA has not encountered difficulties all the way, but Ben Holland has resolved the crisis one by one. Now he is still not worried, because An Jie is only one person no matter how good he is, and UCLA has more than one strong player!

“Westbrook broke through. This is a breakthrough point. Love got an open shot and hit!”

“Bamotte picks and rolls, and Westbrook once again rushes into the enemy’s hinterland. This time Anjie didn’t dare to rush back to defense, Westbrook stopped for a jump shot, beautiful!”

“Carrefour’s pick and roll, Bamoto finally got rid of the Anthony Ben who was inseparable to him. Mid-range shooting, yes!”

“Collison makes a three-pointer! The fiery feel is still there!”

UCLA has launched a violent round of bombings on the Cyclone’s basket. An Jie has also tried his best to defend, but one punch is hard to beat. UCLA frequently scores on the court.

But one thing has changed, that is, the number of times UCLA hits the basket has been significantly reduced. At least on this point, Anjie was very successful.

The starting lineups of the two sides competed for nine minutes on the court, and UCLA’s advantage of multiple attack points was fully demonstrated. And Ben Holland also calmed down and never doubled An Jie. Faced with Love’s tough defense, Anjie, whose physical strength has declined, his offensive efficiency has gradually declined. UCLA has an 8-point advantage and ushered in the second team.

“What kind of kid, how does it feel to rule the penalty area?” Divac watched Anjie’s progress from time to time, with unspeakable joy in his heart.

“It’s great, but the offensive points of those guys are too scattered, and the people who stand up are different every time.” An Jie is such a person. His performance on the court just now was perfect, but he didn’t have the slightest. Joy, because the team is always ranked first by him.

“You take a break first, and leave the rest to your brothers.” After Ricard finished speaking, he began to arrange tactics for the rotation lineup, and Anjie and the others were able to temporarily relax from the tense game.

Ben Holland kept Bamot on the court, and Ricard also took Anthony Ben up a few rounds later. Compared with the star-studded starting lineup, UCLA’s replacement lineup this year is not so prominent. Although the Tornado’s bench lineup is relatively weak, they have an endless struggle. The second team of the two sides are on the court with you and me, offensive and defensive, and can’t deal with each other.

But in the second half of the first half, Westbrook and Kevin Love, who re-appeared after a full rest, broke the balance again.

On Westbrook, Love and Collison played with two substitute players, while the Tornadoes were led by Angel and Mike Taylor. Think about why the Celtics Big Three can succeed? UCLA is no different from a team with the Big Three.

Anjie is still tough on the defensive end. He has sent four blocks so far in the game, and there are still many **** that have not been scored under his interference. On the offensive end, Anjie’s wonderful “performance” caused Kevin Love to foul three times.

Would you like to take Love down? This number of fouls is really dangerous. Ben Holland considered for a while and finally decided to change.

Love came off the field, and An Jie’s offensive pace could not be blocked.

Dunk, hook, jumper, assist. After confronting Lopez and Love, Anjie has no pressure at all when facing UCLA’s backup center. Sure enough, Divac was right. If you don’t want to pester him, the best way is to keep him out of the field.

But how could the strong Westbrook watch the Asian approaching the score? He made a sudden shot and abruptly vanished An Jie’s efforts.

It’s not the first time Anjie has encountered a difficult outside line. D.J. Augustine’s jersey is still hanging in his closet. But this guy named Westbrook is really special. How many guards in this world have his body like this? Even if it was against a defender, Anjie didn’t find it easy. Except for the block shot just now, An Jie has nothing to do with this guy.

This game was originally a duel between Love and An Jie, but now An Jie’s opponent has been replaced by a defender with this name halfway through.

50 to 38, the powerful UCLA lived up to expectations and walked into the locker room with a 12-point advantage.

Anjie scored 12 points and 6 rebounds at halftime, but the rest of the Tornado team obviously lacked stamina when facing strong opponents.

Mike Taylor had 5 points and 3 assists, Anthony Ben had 4 points and 4 rebounds, Cruze had 6 points, Asakin only had 3 rebounds, and he didn’t score in the entire first half.

Although Anjie’s performance is excellent, the Tornado team wants to pass the UCLA level, and others must do more Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest The serialized works are all at For mobile phone users, please go to read.
