Chapter 113 Always winning and always enjoying
Taking Oregon State University without too much effort is a very good thing for UCLA.That means they'll be in top shape to face Oregon.The players like An Luo have also relaxed a lot. Alford is very small-minded now. For this away trip, he may not even want to accept a defeat.

An Luo played the least amount of time among all starters.In fact, other players played less time.Alex, Holiday, Prince and black big man Tony Parker haven't changed 10 minutes.Instead, the players on the bench earned enough opportunities to perform.

The second place on the bench, Bryce, got 22 minutes of playing time in the whole game.The offensive efficiency is also very high.He made three of five three-pointers, five of nine with two points, and two of four free throws. He scored 18 points.Not just the highest score from the UCLA bench, but the highest score in UCLA as a whole.

This made his father very happy.Bryce didn't take much of his father in the team, but now it seems that he still has some strength.Since it was typed by his own ability, he will not avoid anything.Use it as it should, who wouldn't want to be Rivers!

In addition to him, there are two scoring more than double digits on the bench, that is, Isaac and Thomas.These two brothers are usually not very good, and they don't have much time to play.But in this game, there is really nothing to say.

When a team can find two or three players who score more than [-] points on the bench, this team is considered a real strong team.Judging from this game, UCLA is very strong!
After the game was over, everyone in UCLA had to rush to Eugene City non-stop. On the 24th, they will challenge the University of Oregon away.

Speaking of the University of Oregon, it is not an unknown person in the NCAA.He is a famous sports school in the United States, especially their rugby and track and field programs are very strong.Of course, basketball is also powerful.

The men's basketball team of the University of Oregon is a frequent visitor to the top 64 of the NCAA, and won the NCAA basketball national championship in 1939, which is also the first championship trophy in the history of the NCAA basketball league.

An Luo actually didn't know about these things, he just heard about them from Alex.His impression of the next opponent is all in its name.

Oregon Ducks!duck team!
Perhaps, ducks do not have such a deep meaning in the eyes of Americans!

From Corvallis to Eugene, it was like entering another world.The distance between the two cities is not far, but the gap in all aspects is too great.An Luo experienced such a situation in Washington once.That time, they went from Seattle to Pullman and won both games.Hopefully it will be the same this time.

An Luo and his party did not enter the home court of the University of Oregon until the 23rd.They were training by themselves the day before, so they had to find another training venue.

The home court of the University of Oregon is an indoor basketball stadium called "Matthew Knight".It was funded and built by Nike founder Phil Knight and was only put into use five years ago.The arena is very large and can accommodate more than 12000 people.It is said that this arena is one of the best college basketball training grounds in the world.

On January 1, the Matthew Knight Arena, which can accommodate 24 people, was packed.

During the warm-up, An Luo looked at the group of Oregon players opposite.Look for the three guys Alford mentioned: seven-footer Chris Boucher on the inside, and Elgin Cook and Dillon Brooks on the wings.It is said that these guys are very difficult to deal with.

With the whistle of the referee, the game began.

Alex slapped the ball into Holiday's hands, and the latter immediately started and rushed beyond the three-point line with the ball.He flicked his eyes over his teammate before lobbing the ball to Alex.The latter chiseled in twice, and it didn't feel very strenuous.But he didn't find a chance to shoot, and Chris Boucher, who was facing him, put too much pressure on him on the defensive end.As expected of the person Alford specifically mentioned.Especially those long arms, which can easily block opponents.

He can only pass the ball to Holiday again.However, basketball didn't stop in Holiday's hands.After he received the ball, he swung his head at Prince on the right, and then hit the ground directly, smashing the ball out.The latter reacted quickly, squeezed past the defender and cut to the basket, made a small throw, and scored the ball.

2:0, UCLA turned the guest into the main and took the lead.

But that doesn't seem to have much of an impact on the game.The Oregon players calmly hit the baseline, and their point guard quickly dribbles across the court.However, Holiday's speed was also very fast. He clung to the opponent tightly and did not let the opponent rush.

With no chance, the point guard had to give the ball to Dillon Brooks.As soon as Brooks received the ball, An Luo immediately posted it.Since he played in the second position, the task of defending him naturally fell to An Luo.He pulls back a little, then quickly crosses and crosses the ball, looking for a drive.

But An Luo didn't give Brooks a chance.He lowered his center of gravity, opened his hands, and kept moving with the opponent.

No way, Brooks could only ask for help.Then, under the cover of his teammates, he rushed inside, and when Alex came over, he lobbed the ball to Chris Boucher under the basket, who jumped lightly and dialed the ball into the basket.

At 2:2, the two sides tied.

Throughout the first half, the two teams came and went like this, playing harmoniously.

Alford was very dissatisfied. He felt that his players did not do a good job defensively.Let the opponent take too many points!
So in the second half, after UCLA strengthened its defensive strength, the University of Oregon began to make frequent mistakes.

First, Elgin Cook was blocked by Alex for a layup, and then An Luo chased and scored a three-pointer; then Brooks, under the attack of An Luo and Holiday, smashed the ball into his leg and hit the ball. Out of bounds, then Holiday assisted An Luo bottom corner and hit a three-pointer.

UCLA seized the opportunity and played a wave of 22:6 climax, stopping the home team twice!

After returning from the timeout, the game entered a stalemate.Under the leadership of Brooks and Cook, the University of Oregon continued to attack UCLA's restricted area, causing great damage to them.But UCLA is also not inferior to the home team on the offensive end.On the one hand, An Luo hit three-pointers one after another from the outside, and on the other hand, Alex and Prince also frequently caused damage on the inside.Whenever Oregon is about to rise, someone from UCLA will stand up and destroy the other party's hopes.

Until the end of the game, UCLA still did not allow the University of Oregon to recover the score within ten points.

Alford tidied up his suit and strutted to the home team's bench. As the winner, he had to shake hands with the head coach of the University of Oregon.
