The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 104 Back to the starting line

"If someone is just now watching the game, it might feel weird.

However, you read that right, this is a game between UCLA and Syracuse University. In the first half, Syracuse University led by 12 points. "

"At the beginning of the game, the two sides played back and forth, but in the second half, the situation changed suddenly.

Erwin, from your professional point of view, can you explain it to us? "

The magician said happily: "Of course no problem, all this stems from a tactical adjustment made by Syracuse University.

Especially on defense, Syracuse University did not stick to the conventional zone defense, but made changes.

Edlin is out of the defensive system and specializes in marking Chen. I have to say that he is doing well so far.

With Chen confined, UCLA's offense had a big problem. "

"So, now you're more supportive of Syracuse winning the game?"

"No, no... I can only say that Syracuse University now has the upper hand. As for whether they can win the game, it depends on the second half."

"Do you think UCLA still has a chance?"

"As long as the game has no chance, everything is possible, isn't it?"

……

While the two commentators were chatting, players from the two teams had already appeared on the field for the match, and the second half of the game was about to begin.

"Chen, if you have a chance, you can give me the ball, and I will take on my own responsibilities. The team can't rely on you alone."

Before the game, Kapono suddenly walked up to Chen Mo and said such words.

Not only him, but even the demeanor of the other team members became a little more resolute.

It's normal, no one wants to lose, even if it's an ordinary game, let alone such a decisive moment.

Chen Mo nodded, if given the chance, he would definitely not do it alone.

Well, at the end of the first half, he did do a few things alone, and the effect was not good.

It's not that he doesn't trust his teammates, he really can't make any shots, so it's better to let him do it himself.

To be honest, he was a little anxious at the time because of the large score difference.

After a break in midfield, he also came to his senses.

The more he goes it alone, the easier it will be for Syracuse's defense.

The more he doesn't pass the ball, the less opportunities his teammates have, and the more Syracuse University pays attention to him.

……

Speaking of it, singles and passing often complement each other. If you really want to be alone, why is basketball a team sport?

However, if UCLA wants to do a good job in the second half, it must start with defense.

Anthony served, McNamara dribbled the ball across half court, and Syracuse University made a point attack.

UCLA must guard against this goal. A 10-point difference is definitely different from a 15-point difference.

Still the same offensive routine, Foss mentioned the high position support, and by the way gave up the low position to Anthony.

Anthony held the ball, and just as he was about to move, Hollins chose to help defend.

No way, Anthony had no choice but to pass the ball immediately, which was a tactic that had been formulated in the first half.

Anthony didn't like passing the ball, but on the basketball court, once he played smoothly, even if he didn't like it, he would play comfortably.

The basketball transitioned to Foss. Foss took a look and originally wanted to pass it to Warrick, but it didn't work out. Kapono did a good job this time.

Immediately passed the ball to Edlin, and took advantage of the opportunity to make a screen, and at this time, Hollins had also returned.

The two-on-two pick-and-roll didn't count as a success, so Edlin had to readjust and pass the ball to McNamara.

Seeing that time was running out, McNamara chose to break through and make a mid-range jumper.

Cedric's interference was good, the basketball bounced out of the frame, and Cummings protected the rebound.

It can be seen that everyone really worked hard for the last 20 minutes of the game.

Kapono was fighting Warrick desperately, even though his defense was not good, but he kept pestering him.

The same is true for Cummings. He is not only defending Anthony, but also doing more.

……

Looking back at the offense, Chen Mo was still holding the ball to pick and roll, so that he had the greatest chance to mobilize Syracuse University's defense.

Sure enough, seeing that Chen Mo found a chance through the pick-and-roll, two people rushed forward immediately.

Chen Mo passed the ball immediately. This time, Cummings did not delay, but took a step in with the ball.

To be honest, his position is very important. After Chen Mo passed the ball, he needs to organize the second attack.

Sure enough, Cummings took a step in, and Warrick immediately made up for it.

No way, it is impossible to watch Cummings attack the basket!
The so-called defense is actually doing multiple-choice questions, defending the more threatening points, and selectively giving up some secondary threats.

However, the severity of the so-called threat is actually changing at any time.

Seeing that Warrick rushed over, Cummings passed the ball immediately, and Kapono was already waiting for a three-pointer in the bottom corner.

At this time, McNamara had already rotated, but Kapono had already got the chance to make a call.

"Shh!"

The three-pointer was hit steadily. This ball is not only a three-pointer, but also will force Syracuse University to change its defense.

Of course, Jim Boheim was also betting on whether the ball was ignorant or not. He didn't make any adjustments at the first time.

Syracuse University's offense is still the same, very successful offensive tactics, does not need much change.

However, UCLA itself has changed.

Although there will be a point guard after double-teaming and helping defense, the UCLA players make up for the point guard by running non-stop.

Although Syracuse University finally found a chance to make a shot, UCLA's defense has already caught up.

Warrick missed in the middle distance, Chen Mo grabbed the rebound and directly launched a counterattack.

It still attracted the defense of two people. This time, Chen Mo saw the opportunity for Cummings to run out.

A very light pick-and-roll, Cummings cuts to the inside, catches the ball and hits a close-range throw.

43:50
Jim Burnheim immediately called a timeout. He understood that the UCLA players had adjusted and their tactics needed to be changed.

As for how to change, it was nothing more than not easily double-teaming Chen Mo. If he was double-teaming, he should at least be able to go back.

Just like what UCLA did, although Hollins will take the initiative to help defend, he will not really let go of Foss.

Returning to the basketball court, Syracuse University's tactics have not had time to implement, and another mistake occurred.

Hollins and Cedric double-teamed Anthony at the same time, and Anthony made a mistake when passing the ball.

After Chen Mo made the steal, he made a fast break. Facing Edlin, he still made a three-pointer resolutely.

This is Chen Mo's third three-pointer in this game.

46:50
No one expected that UCLA beat Syracuse University 2-8 in less than 0 minutes.

The point difference of 12 points was also caught up to 4 points in an instant, and the two sides were considered to be back on the same level.

More importantly, UCLA seems to have found a way to break Syracuse University's tactics of double-teaming Chen Mo.

No one expected such a situation, even the magician.

Regardless of the confidence he said, UCLA has not lost yet, and there are still opportunities. In fact, he didn't see too many opportunities.

It's just that when I wanted to set the flag just now, I held back abruptly and stabilized my hand.
