The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 67 Tournament 1
The time came to 6 o'clock in the evening. After the referee determined the time and the lineup, the game officially started.

UCLA's starting lineup has been very fixed, from No. [-] to No. [-] respectively, Cedric, Thompson, Chen Mo, Kapono and Hollins.

On the bench, Cummings, Lei Yang, and backup point guard Walcott are the main substitutes.

After all, Hollins is a big man over 210cm, and once again he easily jumped off the bridge to win.

USC even gave up the chance of a fast break and returned to defense early, so UCLA also had no chance of a fast break.

Falling into a positional battle, Cedric habitually passed the ball to Chen Mo, who held the ball at the top of the arc.

Without any temptation, he directly called Hollins for a pick-and-roll. This is a game to determine the outcome, unlike the series, which can be tested slowly.

You know, in a basketball game, it is quite unfriendly to the team behind. Chasing points is more tiring than leading.

Therefore, it is very important to take the lead at the beginning.

Following Hollins' cover, at the moment Derek Craven was blocked, Chen Mo shot directly.

"Shh!"

It was so unreasonable, just because Craven was blocked, and center Nick Curtis was a step slower, Chen Mo shot like this.

Without any gimmicks, UCLA relied on Chen Mo's strong point to open up the situation forcefully.

3:0
"Three points, oh, this is just the opening, and this is not an open space... But, Chen, he just did it."

The live commentary was exclaiming, and the fans at the scene were also cheering, especially for UCLA, a good start is half the battle.

Looking back, USC's offense is still a simple pick-and-roll tactic, and point guard Farmar is strong.

Especially in the face of Hollins, Farmer fully demonstrated the skill of playing small.

Farmar successfully broke through, and at this time, Chen Mo had already defended him.

Behind Chen Mo, Craven was already open, but Farmar did not choose to pass the ball.

That's right, he wanted to single out, single out Chen Mo.

Farmar flew to the layup, and Chen Mo also jumped up to block the shot. At this moment, Farmar suddenly folded the lever and flew from one end of the basket to the other.

I have to say that this is definitely a wonderful to the extreme railing layup, which fully demonstrates the flexibility and flexibility of the little man.

Seeing that it was about to hit the ground, Farmar threw the basketball with an extremely soft touch.

"Snapped!"

However, even he didn't expect that a not-so-strong but unusually slender arm stretched out.

A wonderful block came from Chen Mo.

You know, Chen Mo's jumping is not particularly good, and he seldom jumps. His defense comes from his excellent prediction and his height and wingspan.

Raise your hands like a capital "H". This figure is definitely the best figure for a basketball player.

Kapono grabbed the rebound, and at this time, Chen Mo also ran past him.

Kapono took the ball out immediately, Chen Mo dribbled the ball in three steps and passed halftime, and Craven posted it immediately.

Although there was a defense in front of him, it was impossible for Chen Mo to stop the ball. This is not UCLA's style.

Running and bombing tactics, the most important thing is to keep running, and you must not stop the ball easily.

Especially in the process of offensive and defensive transitions, the ball cannot be stopped, so that there is a chance to disrupt the opponent's defense.

The process of stopping the ball is actually the process of waiting for the opponent to establish a defensive system.

Seeing Craven's defense in place, Chen Mo chose to break through without any hesitation.

After a season of training, Chen Mo's breakthrough is not sharp, but it is enough.

Slightly lowering the center of gravity, with a cross step, Chen Mo broke through the inside line directly from Craven's side.

This is Chen Mo, even if Craven has not completely lost his position, it is impossible for others to watch.

No, the power forward O'Neal, who retreated first, quickly shrank to the inside to help defend.

Chen Mo jumped up, but didn't make a shot. Instead, he threw the basketball to the top of the arc, into Kapono's hands.

It was because of Chen Mo's breakthrough that disrupted USC's defense in the first place and gave Kapono an open chance.

And USC's defense is not in place yet. At this time, even the defensive rotation cannot be done.

"Shh!"

Worthy of being the big brother of UCLA, facing such an open opportunity, he showed no mercy at all.

6:0
Although the game has just started, anyone with a discerning eye can see that UCLA is in really good shape.

Under the huge gap in strength, if USC wants to make a difference, everything depends on the state of UCLA.

If UCLA's state is not good, it may be able to find a chance, but now it seems that there is no chance at all.

Looking back, USC's shooting guards continued to rush forward, targeting UCLA's weak insiders.

This time, Derek fouled Kapono and made two free throws.

6:2
However, looking back, Chen Mo continued to break through with the threat from beyond the three-point line.

This time, USC's inside line hesitated, and did not come up to the defense in the first place.

Under such circumstances, Chen Mo was naturally not polite, and directly chose to hit the basket.

Although Chen Mo's jump is not very high, but this posture is quite strong, and he directly smashes the buckle with a tomahawk.

8:2
No one expected that Chen Mo, who has always been known for his three-pointers, would change his normal routine and continue to make breakthroughs today.

But let you let go of his three-pointer, do you dare to let it go?

……

Chen Mo took the lead to help UCLA open the situation and established the leading advantage in the opening game. With the advantage in score, it also has a psychological advantage.

Once the psychological advantage is established, it will be easier to play. In addition to Chen Mo, Kapono and Hollins also played one after another.

Time passed 5 minutes and 37 seconds. At the time of the first timeout, UCLA had already led by 16 points at 5:11.

By the end of halftime, UCLA's lead had expanded to 20 points, and the outcome had been determined.

54:34
Looking at this gap like a natural moat, both the coaches and players of the University of Southern California are already full of helplessness.

Even the fans at the scene had no energy to cheer. This score was really disappointing.

On the contrary, UCLA fans are already celebrating wildly.

It is exciting to be able to win, but the most gratifying thing is that this opponent is still a sworn enemy in the same city.

Without any surprises, USC, whose confidence had been completely crushed in the second half, was powerless to fight back.

92:61
In the case of UCLA replacing the substitute in advance, UCLA still won by 30 points. This is definitely a classic scene in the history of the two teams.

In addition to UCLA, the other three games also ended one after another, and the semi-finals of the championship were determined.

In addition to UCLA, the other three teams are the University of Arizona, the University of Oregon, and the University of California, Berkeley.

Stanford University's loss to the University of Oregon is a moderate upset, after all, a No.3 and a No.6.

Of course, such an unpopularity is not actually an unpopularity. After all, the NCAA tournament has never lacked unpopularity.
