Chapter 39
Chapter 38 – The Problem Is Still There
Zhang Jun shook his head and said that he didn’t know, but with the appearance of a few people, it might be difficult for them to go all out on the court.
Captain Aaron Afflalo was a little angry, and said angrily: “Guys, what’s wrong with you?”
“I was late for the training class yesterday, and I was listless today. Don’t tell me that I have a game and go out to mess around.”
Ba Mote didn’t deny it and said: “Those seniors have been clamoring for being unhappy. I thought that a person should have a beginning and an end, so I went to make up for it last night.”
“Nine minutes, tsk tsk.”
Darren Collison glanced contemptuously at the side, “Half an hour for me.”
What!
Mbah a Moute looked at Darren Collison in horror. He didn’t expect that there was such a genius for half an hour in the world. It was really terrifying.
Aboya stood up and said confidently: “Captain, don’t be so serious, anyway, it will be another big victory later.”
“Don’t you still think that CU Boulder bunch of trash is going to be our opponent?”
Michael Roll stood up and agreed on behalf of the rotation players: “Yeah, we’re invincible, we’re going to get 20 in a row tonight and then… hey.”
A few people thought that the 20-game winning streak must be celebrated again, and coach Alford would not say anything, after all, this was another record.
on the pitch.
Game start.
Midfield jump ball.
CU-Boulder center Jose Kacey took the ball straight over Alfred Aboya’s head.
“Huh? It’s been a long time since I can serve the ball on the opponent’s head?”
Boulder offense.
They chose the style of play where the power forward puts up the screen, and the strong side point guard goes around the screen and breaks through the inside.
This offensive tactic is not profound, because it is very easy to defend on the strong side.
But Mbah a Moute in the bottom corner didn’t offer to assist in the defense, and Aboya also stood there dumbly and didn’t care about the defensive loopholes on this side.
Swish!
Score a layup.
“Boulder scored the first goal of the game.”
“Their offense was too easy this round, and the Bruins’ defense was a little distracted.”
Switch offense.
Darren Collison pushed forward with the ball, ready to implement the tactics he often played. The high-post hand-off passed the weak side to open up, creating a one-on-one singles opportunity for Zhang Jun.
However, when cooperating at the top of the arc, Zhang Jun rushed to pass the ball as soon as he picked up Darren Collison. As a result, Zhang Jun did not get stuck behind the defender, and the opponent directly raised the ball and successfully intercepted the ball.
“Boulder succeeded in stealing the ball, and they are going to launch a counterattack!”
Weak side small forward Severus Arias made a quick attack, and Zhang Jun pursued the opponent’s shooting guard Kurt Cunningham, and successfully achieved a defensive overtake from beyond the three-point line.
But at the moment the frontcourt is a two-on-one scene.
Kurt Cunningham hit the ground pass to Severus Arias, who showed off a wave of post-up dunks on the catch.
4:0!
“Focus on what you’re doing!”
Alford shouted angrily towards the court.
Being beaten 4:0 at the start, Alford is not unacceptable to such a picture. What he cannot accept is the phantom defense on the field and the attitude of no tacit cooperation.
It is indeed not a strong defensive team, but there is a qualified defensive center like Abaya and the flexible Love, Zhang Jun with excellent defensive talent and Darren Collison who is above the average defensive level of the NCAA. The entire NCAA can be regarded as a first-class defensive player Mbah a Moute.
Even if such a lineup is not strong in defense, it will not be bad.
But the defense shown on the court now is not even comparable to the D3 level team.
This is something Alford will never tolerate.
“Defense, three points depends on ability, seven points depends on attitude.”
“Without a defensive attitude, no matter what NCAA team it is, we can easily score whatever we want.”
next round.
Center Jose Cassey easily turned inside and scored with Aboya alone.
The score has reached 6:0.
Offensively, Zhang Jun caught the ball near the center line ahead of time, and this time he finally got the ball.
“The score of 6:0 is already a big difference in the NCAA. I must score this goal.”
Zhang Jun broke through with the ball, and crossed his feet after changing continuously, easily leaving Boulder shooting guard Kurt Cunningham behind.
But two defenders immediately appeared in front of him, assisting in defense at the same time.
Zhang Jun quickly transferred the ball to Mbah a Moute in the corner on the weak side, and the latter made a decisive three-pointer.
Duang!
It’s hard.
Boulder grabbed the rebound and quickly launched a counterattack. Zhang Jun chased and defended alone. Boulder small forward Severus Arias made another easy layup.
“Damn it!”
Zhang Jun couldn’t help but slapped the ball hard. He turned his head and found that none of his teammates returned to defense, and the nearest Darren Collison was only near the center line.
“How to fight!”
8:0!
beep! beep!
The referee blew his whistle and Alford called for a timeout.
“What are you all doing?”
“Let the opponent score on his head like this?!”
“Tighter defense and more stable offense, we have the strength to beat UC Boulder.”
“Now, quickly adjust my status!”
Aboya was stunned at the moment, and he still didn’t understand why he was singled out by his opponent inside, and even a penalty kick was taken directly.
Darren Collison was also a little absent-minded, thinking that the three-pointer just now was just bad luck~www.mtlnovel.com~ If he was given another chance, he would definitely be able to make it.
Mbah a Moute only felt that his legs were a little soft. In the past two days, his kicking movements were obviously done too frequently, resulting in a decrease in explosive power, and it was difficult to make habitual defensive moves and run in time.
The short 20-second timeout ended quickly and the game resumed.
Zhang Jun once again carried out the tactic of holding the ball and breaking through, and the Boulder branch obviously also made adjustments during this short timeout.
They found weakness in most players, so Boulder coach Mogaro Miranda made a very bold defensive adjustment.
“Fuck Zhang Jun, don’t worry about other people.”
Zhang Jun’s breakthrough was blocked. This time, there were three people in front of him.
Faced with such a defense, Zhang Jun still followed the coach’s arrangement and immediately distributed the ball to Darren Collison in the corner.
Duang!
Strike the iron again!
The entire audience couldn’t help but let out a gasp.
“That’s Darren Collison missing two open shots.”
Boulder hit back again.
Three-on-one frontcourt!
Angrily, Zhang Jun quickly pulled down Kurt Cunningham, who was about to split the ball, to prevent Boulder from another fast-break counterattack.
beep! beep!
The referee blew his whistle to signal Zhang Jun to make a defensive foul.
“It was a very smart early foul.”
Alford breathed a sigh of relief.
He had to admit that Zhang Jun’s foul was timely.
The Boulder campus has already played in a hot state. This foul can cool down the opponent and even block the offensive rhythm of the Boulder campus.
“But the problem is still there, and the state must be adjusted quickly.”
