I didn't want to fly away

Chapter 26 The status is hot, and the draft market is soaring (seeking collection, please follow up)

Not long after the UCLA Bruins approached the second round of the Pacific Ten Schools League playoffs, the other three teams that advanced to the second round also appeared soon.

Without any surprises, it was the USC Trojans, ASU Sun Devils and UA Wildcats.

At the same time as the other three teams advanced, the next round opponent of the Bruins is also very clear, it is the UA Wildcats.

It is indeed a pity that the Los Angeles duo and the Arizona duo did not meet in the semifinals.

However, as a team of the same level, no one can predict what will happen in the next two semi-finals.

Because of an elimination system, fans will have more expectations for the next game.

When watching the game, it will be more exciting.

The time soon came to March 3th. Today, the venue for the match between the UCLA Bruins and the UA Wildcats is the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, the main stadium of the 12 Olympic Games.

Los Angeles Memorial Stadium is one of the largest stadiums in the United States, with a capacity of up to 10.5 spectators.

This time it was only the semi-finals of the Pacific Ten Schools League, so there must not be enough seats for so many people, and in order to make the ticket price more valuable, the NCAA officials launched hunger marketing, and only half of the seats were opened in the end.

But having said that, after this operation, the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium is enough to accommodate [-] fans to enter the stadium to watch the game.

"I like playing on similar occasions more and more! The cheers of more fans will make me more excited." While still warming up, Lu Yi felt his body heat up quickly.

Faced with such a big scene again and again, and it always ended in victory, this made Lu Yi more and more fond of playing in this environment.

Lu Yi was already very confident. After getting rid of the initial discomfort, Lu Yi found that playing in such an environment can effectively improve his state in all aspects.

Obviously, the system panel will not change in any way, but Lu Yi feels that playing in such an environment means that he can gradually improve and become more courageous as he fights.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for those NBA superstars to play better in the playoffs than in the regular season.

A game can be explained by explosions, but several three-pointers have shown excellent performances, scoring 30+ or ​​even 40+ in a row. What derogatory words can be found for this?

No!It just feels right, the state is coming, and the body is excited!
"I feel hot!" Lu Yi said that he could empathize.

"Don't be nervous, we double-killed the Wildcats in the regular season.

We're still the No. [-] seed in the West, and we're not under pressure.

As long as we play normally, we can win! "

Head coach Holland signaled to the players to relax, because of the excellent record of 17 wins and 1 loss in the regular season, the UCLA Bruins have advanced to the NCAA tournament.

Although the list of other Pac-[-] teams that have advanced to the NCAA Tournament has not yet been announced, they do not need to rely on the Pac-[-] Championship to enter the NCAA Tournament.

On the contrary, if the Bruins win the Pacific Ten Schools Championship this year, then the team defeated by the Bruins in the final will be a blessing in disguise and get an early qualification to advance to the tournament.

Whether or not the remaining two top four teams of the Pacific Ten Schools League can make it to the NCAA tournament depends on how the NCAA officials arrange it.

So, this game is just like what Holland said, don't be under pressure, just play normally.

Can double-kill the Wildcats in the regular season, but not in the playoffs?No such reason!

After Holland finished speaking, everyone relaxed a little.

The head coach is not worried, and Lu Yi also said that he is in good condition, so what else do they have to worry about, these rotation players and bench players?
The game started quickly, and the Wildcats played very energetically.

Jordan Hill helped the team jump to get the ball, but Lu Yi led the defense from the beginning and filled the aggressiveness.

At the same time, Holland deliberately arranged for Holiday and Lu Yi to start the game to limit the Wildcats from pushing fast breaks.

The wildcats' first attack was restricted because the defender dribbled the ball, and the fast break did not start.

But in the end, relying on Jordan Hill's personal ability, he scored the goal inside.

Immediately after the Bruins' offensive round, Lu Yi advanced with the ball first. After halftime, the Wildcats were not found to be double-teamed.

Ever since, Lu Yi shouted: "You guys better double-team!"

He scored a three-pointer against the defense.

brush--

As Lu Yi said before the game, Lu Yi feels hot.

Fiery touch, plus 100 three-point attributes, what will the result be?
Three consecutive strong three-pointers with the ball directly stopped the Wildcats.

After the timeout, Lu Yi finally enjoyed the double-team treatment he should have had.

Because the team is leading, Lu Yi feels good, but there is no need to keep making strong shots.

After continuing to make a strong three-pointer, Lu Yi took the initiative to hand over the ball.

Lu Yi motioned to Holiday, and then asked him to advance with the ball, and he first walked around without the ball.

Lu Yi suddenly played without the ball, and the Wildcats did not dare to double-team without the ball directly, but shrank to the three-point line and played a three-two defense.

Holiday held the ball and walked 45 degrees to the right, Lu Yi ran to the left corner, and the Bruins instantly had a four-on-three situation.

Holiday lobs to the inside, and at the same time Soros cuts to the basket.

After trying to play back in the paint to no avail, Soros went to the basket and dunked the ball in.

In fact, Lu Yi didn't participate in this attack at all, but his presence was not small.

Lu Yi was standing in the bottom corner, and the two on the left side of the Wildcats were as if they had been immobilized. They couldn't move at all, and they didn't even dare to look to the right.

Lu Yi can not only shoot, but also has a strong breakthrough. What if Lu Yi makes an air cut?
It is impossible for anyone to miss this point of Lu Yi.

Ever since, Lu Yi continued to act as a bait for the team. The other four players in the starting lineup played well and were very excited.

It wasn't until more than 5 minutes into the game that Holland took the initiative to adjust the lineup, replacing Collison and other rotations, and the Bruins' offensive changed slightly.

Collison is Holland's favorite student. Holland knows that Collison will leave UCLA and the Bruins after this season, and he also wants to give Collison a good future.

The semi-finals of the Pacific Ten Schools League playoffs is also a good stage. Collison can play a good number, which will help improve the draft pick.

However, Collison played a bit poorly this time, limited by size, the matchup was affected both offensively and defensively.

If Lu Yi hadn't held the ball for a while and still felt hot, the Wildcats might still have a chance to come back.

In the end, relying on Lu Yi's super performance of making 11 of 9 shots, 7 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scoring 26 points in the first half, the Bruins laid the foundation for victory as early as the first half .

下半场科里森状态稍微好了一些，但全场也就9投4中，三分3投1中，罚球2投2中，拿下11分5助攻2篮板。

Not as good as the first-year Holiday, who scored 14 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

However, in addition to Lu Yi, the Bruins have scored in double figures, which is also worth celebrating.

Even though Holland played superstar basketball with Lu Yi as the main player this season, more than one of the team's main players scored in double figures, which also played the team basketball that the UCLA Bruins should have.

And Holland's continuous persuasion to Lu Yi also had the desired effect.

Lu Yi played only 6 minutes in the second half, and then was tactically protected by Holland.

However, gold cannot be hidden.

Lu Yi scored 11 points in 26 shots in the first half, which has shocked the attention of all audiences and media.

In the second half, Lu Yi took 5 shots and scored 11 points. His efficiency was still very high, and he almost played 40+.

There are a lot of NBA scouts present today. Originally, Lu Yi's draft market was only the 15th to 20th pick in the first round.

After this battle, he entered the lottery area for the first time, and came to the 10th to 14th picks, and his ranking rose by 5 places all of a sudden.
