Chapter 24 UCLA

Loyal fans of the Oregon Ducks looked at the atmosphere on the benches of both teams with disappointment.

In recent years, the Oregon Ducks have given fans who support them no hope. They haven't seen the Oregon Ducks get close to the semi-finals for a long time since 2002. In the 2006-07 season, they managed to reach the top 8, but

Starting from last season, a new round of hip-stretching journey began. Although it reached the top 64 last year, it was eliminated by Mississippi State University in the first round.

In the first game of this year's regular season, they were beaten 8-0 by the opponent at the beginning. This start made the Oregon Ducks fans full of confusion. If the game hadn't just begun, these fans would probably choose to leave early.

.

Although the morale of the Oregon Ducks members has recovered after returning from the timeout, and after returning, the Oregon Ducks choose to play more pass-cut coordination. It is limited to the Princeton tactics, but this kind of tactics requires the teamwork ability among the players.

Obtain open opportunities through continuous passing, running and counter-running.

This tactic has certain requirements for the passing ability of all players on the field. All five players can pass the ball, shoot, love organization, and adhere to overall basketball and team spirit.

But the current Oregon Ducks cannot pass the ball well.

Therefore, USC's internal and external defense was simply an iron wall. It was difficult for the Oregon Ducks to get open shooting opportunities. Finally, they made a mistake in the third basketball pass. DeRozan directly intercepted the pass and then scored a fast-break dunk.

This goal also officially announced the failure of head coach Ernie Kent's tactical adjustment.

Finally, 3 and a half minutes into the game, the opponent's shooting guard Garrett Shinn hit a three-pointer from the outside. The University of Oregon finally scored the first goal of the semi-synthetic game.

The score at this time has become 14:3.

After the opening 10 minutes, Lian Dao was replaced by Lewis, and the score reached 28:12.

The opposing coach didn't dare to play the main player. After Lian Dao came off the court, DeRozan became the core of the offense. On the court, DeRozan showed everyone his talent as a McDonald's All-Star player. He broke through with the ball and made a layup.

Emergency stop mid-range jump shot, 180-degree dunk, etc.

Although Lian Dao was substituted, the Oregon Ducks never caught up with the score.

The first half ended at 49:32, and USC ended the first half with a 16-point advantage.

At the beginning of the second half, USC sent out the "USC Five Small Team", point guard: Daniel Hackett; shooting guard: Lewis, small forward: Lian Dao, power forward: Gibson, center: Vucevi

strange.

Except for Gibson, this lineup has three-point ability. Even Vucevic can pull out and shoot three-pointers. This is also the result of training with Lian Dao during the summer. In fact, European players have relatively soft hands, and Vucevic can shoot three-pointers.

Vicky's shooting is also very accurate, so after practicing the three-point ability, he can quickly master it.

This lineup means one word: score.

With the USC outside three-point team on the line, the opponent's players who were directly hit were confused.

In the first 10 minutes of the second half, USC shot 13 three-pointers and hit 7 three-pointers, reaching a shooting percentage of 53.8%. Among them, Lian Dao hit 3 three-pointers and Vucevic hit 2 three-pointers.

Ball, Daniel and Lewis each hit one.

The score was directly tied at 77:48, with USC leading by 29 points. USC could basically be declared the winner of this game.

After Oregon Ducks head coach Ernie Kent saw that there was no way to save the game, he directly substituted all the main players. For USC, Tim also substituted all the main players.

The Oregon Ducks used their substitutes to chase back some points, and at the end of the game, USC defeated the Oregon Ducks 83:62 and won with a score of 21 points.

In this game, Lian Dao scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, DeRozan scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals, Gibson scored 11 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, and Vucevic scored 9 points and 8 rebounds in his first start.

.The four of them basically accounted for two-thirds of the team's scoring.

This game had a good start and all the team members were excited. Lian Dao was also very happy. On the bus back to the hotel, all the team members chatted excitedly about their respective interests and hobbies. The freshmen majoring in the school girl is beautiful.

The fourth senior sister has very good skills, and the cheerleader goddess Shilina has a big butt...

USC recently defeated the Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers on the road, starting the new season with two consecutive wins.

The opponent of USC's next game is the third place in ESPN's rankings and known as USC's mortal enemy: UCLA.

All players and coaches of UCLA and USC are treated very seriously, not only because UCLA is USC’s long-standing nightmare, but more importantly, this game is a test of USC’s true strength.

Contest.

U's ranking third in the strength rankings is definitely not only due to UCLA's glorious history, but also the close cooperation they have maintained on the outside this season. The first two games of this season were against the Oregon State Beavers and

Oregon Ducks.

That’s right!

The first two opponents of UCLA and USC are the same!

It's just a difference in the order.

In these two games, UCLA won by a big score, and it is not difficult to see from the video that the opponent had no ability to fight back. The tacit cooperation of the UCLA players from the outside and precise tactical movement seemed to tell other NCAA teams: Even without Kevin

·Love and Westbrook, UCLA is still an insurmountable mountain for you.

UCLA may be strong, but Lian Dao still saw their weaknesses from the game tape. Last season, even with Westbrook on the court, they could not guard Memphis with Derrick Rose, and they were stopped in the national semifinals for two consecutive years.

This season, Westbrook entered the NBA, and UCLA lost an offensive and defensive core on the outside.

Despite the addition of Holiday, his scoring average of 10.3 in the preseason and the first two regular seasons confirmed that Holiday is indeed a talented high school student.

However, Holiday's lack of scoring stability was still exposed. He was simply a god and a ghost. He could score 20 points in the game against the Florida International Panthers, and the next game was against the Texas Longhorns.

The team only scored 3 points in the game, and this phenomenon continued throughout 12 preseason games and 2 regular season games.

This exactly reflects Holiday's inexperience and his ability to attack tough situations is not as good as Westbrook's last season.

This is not the worst thing about UCLA. Lian Dao found that in the two games they lost in the preseason, most of them were because their opponents were strong inside.

This is exactly the opposite of their last season. Last season, the presence of Kevin Love and Luke Richard Mbah a Moute made UCLA very strong inside. The two of them together averaged 16.6 rebounds per game last season.

indivual.

This is truly an inside gate.

The key is that the two of them averaged 26.3 points and 3.4 assists per game last season.

And these two, like Westbrook, participated in the draft and entered the NBA.

This season the interior has become UCLA's biggest shortcoming.

The basketball IQ and physical fitness of Alfred Aboya and Nikola Dragovich cannot be compared with Love and Mbah a Moute. This has also caused UCLA's insiders to become "thousands of people stabbed".

But if you underestimate UCLA because of this, you will definitely suffer a big loss in the competition.

Ben Howland is the head coach of UCLA. He took over UCLA from Steve LaVine in the 2003-04 season. Except for the first season when he joined, he did not enter the top 64. He led the team in the remaining four seasons.

The team reached the top 64, and in the three years of 2005-08, they reached the national semi-finals three times in a row. In the 2005-06 season, they reached the national finals, but unfortunately lost to the "upstart" Florida Gators.

Team.

The results of leading the team in the past few years also illustrate the strength of Ben Howland, especially this year after losing three main players, Westbrook, Love and Mbah a Moute, he can still play 10:2 in the regular season in the preseason.

The 2:0 record further illustrates the brilliance of Ben Howland's tactics.
