Chapter 597 Super Switch Defense

In order to solve the three-point shooting tactics of the University of Connecticut, Lan Shengli thought for a long time, and also referred to many defensive strategies of the previous opponents of the University of Connecticut. defensive tactics.

Lan Shengli also quickly reported the results of his defensive strategy to Coach Holland.

Lan Shengli recommended three tactics in total, but Holland had his own worries about these three tactics.

"Two-pointers and three-pointers, we have to make a choice. If we only fight for two-pointers, I don't think we will lose~!!"

Lan Shengli explained.

"That's true, it's just that the risks are relatively high, but I think this zone defense tactic can be tried,,,"

Holland thought.

"Okay, how about we let the players try this tactic first,,,"

Lan Shengli asked.

"This is not a problem, but the three-point shooting ability of our substitute players does not seem to be on the same level as the three-point shooting ability of the University of Connecticut players. I was thinking, it is really meaningful to do such an experiment. Is it~?!"

Holland asked.

"Well, Coach Holland, if our starters can use this tactic to make the bench players unable to shoot three-pointers, then I don't think even UConn players will shoot very well if they shoot. High,,"

Lan Shengli explained.

"That's true, well, let's try it first, anyway, there is still time, and there is still time to correct the defensive tactics~!"

Holland said, even if he agreed.

After that, UCLA conducted a lot of simulated training on zone defense tactics, and of course also conducted a lot of training on man-to-man defense.

The time has come to the game time, the jump ball is over, and Thabeet jumped to the first wave of offensive balls for UConn.

Sure enough, the five UCLA players adopted a zone defense position.

It seems that the joint defense tactics were practiced more successfully before.

The University of Connecticut was also very calm. After seeing that it was a zone defense, they immediately adopted a corresponding strategy. Thabeet went directly to the free throw line, and the guard also directly gave Thabeet a high profile.

Thabeet held the ball aloft like an Olympic torch.

And UCLA also started to take action. Westbrook immediately ran to Thabeet and did not interfere. He was just reminding his teammates of the running positions of other University of Connecticut players.

And like Love and the center came to the outside, chasing the defensive players like an eagle catching a chicken.

"This,,, this should not be a communication error, this should be a defensive tactic prepared by UCLA in advance~!!! A team like UCLA can't prevent this kind of mistake, it must be their advance prepared,,"

Upon seeing this, the head coach of the University of Connecticut sighed.

"Do you want to use the height advantage of the inside players to limit our outside shots~?! It's good to think about it, but it's useless~!! Doing that will only make you lose sight of the other~!!! Holland, Holland , when did you stop being conservative and become so radical~?! This is not like your style~!!"

The UConn head coach continued.

Although encountered a rather weird defensive switch tactic, the University of Connecticut remained calm and continued to move.

Because Collison is also defending the opponent's shortest player, every defensive player in UCLA is taller than the opponent, and can easily cover the opponent~! !

Of course, except for Westbrook who defended Thabeet.

Soon, UConn got a chance to catch the ball on the outside through a screen, and Thabeet passed it immediately.

But the defensive player Love also followed up quickly, and blocked the opponent tightly with his body, absolutely not giving any room for shots, and Love's arms were straight, and he would not jump up, that's all. Use the height advantage to directly interfere.

The head of the opponent's player with the ball only reaches the position of Love's chest, which is enough to show how obvious the height difference between the two is.

And Love's defense also sent a signal: break through at will.

Because of Love's position, basically the opponent only needs to lower the center of gravity to break through, which is very easy.

"Do you really think we can only shoot three-pointers~?! Hmph~!"

Seeing this, the head coach of the University of Connecticut sighed secretly.

"Breakthrough, get past him~!!!"

Then immediately yelled at the player holding the ball.

Although the player with the ball was a little reluctant, he still obeyed the coach's order, lowered his center of gravity, and broke through Love's defense in an instant.

"It seems that the University of Connecticut is not a single muscle, but even if it is a breakthrough, I am already prepared to deal with it, and I will definitely not give you a chance~!!"

Lan Shengli watched the changes in the situation on the field and spoke calmly.

I saw that after the player with the ball broke through Love, Westbrook immediately gave up Thabeet, but recovered to the inside to protect the basket, and made a defensive posture.

Although Westbrook's height to protect the inside line is a bit too exaggerated, after all, the height of the ball holder is also very limited, so this trick can still be restricted.

Westbrook also made the same defensive action as Love.

Stretch your hands straight, never jump, just interfere in place.

This time, the offensive player faced a defensive player who was almost the same height as himself, without hesitation, he directly carried Westbrook's defense and wanted to force a throw.

"It's too easy to think~!!"

At this time, Love suddenly ran over from behind the offensive player and jumped up high~~

"Crack~!!!"

With a palm, he slapped the ball that had just left his hand, and the ball flew out of the baseline and into the hands of the fans.

In this first defense, UCLA did very well.

Not only did the University of Connecticut not get a three-point shot, but under the encirclement of Westbrook and Love, the opponent's throw was fanned out.

"When Westbrook went to make up the defense and made a delay, it was actually delaying the time for Love to get out of the pinch defense, and finally "closed the door" back and forth. This kind of defense is impossible for the opponent to shoot~!!"

Lan Shengli explained.

"The reason why there is such an effect is a very important reason: UConn does not have a real point guard, does not have a real organizer, does not have a passer~!! Although they can conduct the outside line through cooperation open shot, but it was all passed by Thabeet~!!"
