Chapter 63 Move On
An Luo has never paid much attention to external affairs.But after this game, he clearly felt some changes in the people around him.

First of all, when I run every morning, it seems that many people suddenly know him.Although some of them may not be able to call An Luo's name, they can at least call "An".Then when An Luo went to class and accompanied Tang Xiaoru to participate in activities, many people knew him.He was very enthusiastic about him, but he himself was still very surprised. Only after we chatted did he find out why.

At this time, An Luo realized that he was on fire!
Not only in the Chinese circle of UCLA, but also in the whole UCLA.

In fact, he was prepared in his heart, after all, he had experienced it once in the ninth middle school.But he didn't expect it to be so fast, after all, he didn't even get a starter.

At the end of each week's game, you can rest.But this time defeating Pepperdine, Alford uncharacteristically did not give the players a holiday, but was busy training.It can be seen from his furrowed brow that he has no intention of enjoying the joy brought by the three-game winning streak.

He is under a lot of pressure now.In the American sports circle, the head coach is a very lucrative job, but it is not easy.The UCLA he led has finally improved in the past two years, but it has not been able to reach the hurdle of the top [-].If you don't get any grades, you will have to look for the next job.

As the head coach, Alford naturally understands the strength of his team.It is no problem to reach the top [-] this year, but it will be difficult to go further.After all, the hard power is still worse than that of the top NCAA teams.

But it's not all hopeless.That is to completely change the team's consistent tactical thinking, to fight and run.And he has that foundation in his team.It's just that the risk is relatively high. After all, he is not used to it. He has never used such a tactic in these years of coaching.

Pepperdine isn't a good tester, so he still hasn't made up his mind.However, he is willing to try.

During these three days of training, he constantly observed the playing style of the five Holiday players, and then proposed feasible solutions to the problems.He is not a bombardment expert like D'Antoni, but as a professional coach, he knows all tactics.After resting, he took Holiday and others to watch the Phoenix Suns game video repeatedly.Compared with the current Warriors, Alford is more inclined to the Suns ten years ago.

November 11 at 24 am, UCLA Paley Stadium. The UCLA Bruins ushered in their fourth opponent, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas running rebels from the Western Mountain Conference.

When An Luo saw this long name, it was the same as what everyone was thinking now.Maybe the longer the name, the stronger the strength!After all, this team is as undefeated as UCLA so far.Although they only played two games.

An Luo still sat on the bench in an orderly manner. He no longer expected Alford to let him start, but only hoped that it would be his turn to play earlier.

In fact, a team with a long name is not necessarily strong.A good record is not necessarily a good game.After all, it is a warm-up match, and there are not a few teams that are honing their lineups like UCLA.

An Luo was still replaced in the 8th minute, and of course there were several other friends with him.Alford is actually an extremely stubborn person. Anyway, he is training the lineup, so why not be more straightforward!

After the change, UCLA's offense began to speed up.The first thing to change is Holiday. He changed his previous slow state and played aggressively.

Driven by him, An Luo and Prince began to run non-stop, actively looking for opportunities to shoot; Alex and Tony on the inside cooperated with them to make pick-and-roll screens, and then made an air cut or Reverse run catch and shoot.

The game is going fast, especially UCLA, they don't seem to want to waste time on offense at all.As for defense, it is better to be patient on offense!
At the end of the first half, UCLA 45:35, leading the opponent by 10 points.

This is because UNLV's main small forward scored 3 points in a row in the last 7 minutes before catching up.Otherwise the game is spent again.

During the intermission, An Luo and Holiday sat on the floor beside the court, chatting happily.But if you think they are rejoicing that the team is about to win a victory, you are wrong!

Their eyes were all on the cheerleading girls on the field, and the topics they talked about were naturally related to them.Americans are not so reserved, they are very pure in this matter.Maybe people in their forties will become more reserved after years of precipitation.But these young college students, who are just coming of age, are pretty straightforward.

Alex is bragging about how good he is, how he's dating that girl from college, how good he is, etc.
Holiday is not far behind, he is quite popular at UCLA, and a lot of girls like him.

Even the big black guy Tony Parker, who An Luo has always thought of as honest and honest, has a lot of experience in this regard.

Only An Luo, the cultural difference made him feel contemptuous of the behavior of these guys, but he couldn't refute it.Even the cheerleader girl whose eyesight was perfect, An Luo didn't think much of it.He still likes Tang Xiaoru like that.Unfortunately, she didn't come to the game today.

In the second half, An Luo accidentally got a lot of game time.Alford may have felt that Holiday and Alex were too tired, so he let An Luo, Prince and Tony plus the two substitutes play for most of the quarter.As for Holiday, it is a matter of observing the team's offense from the sidelines.Of course, that's what Alford asked for.

Without Holiday, An Luo was very uncomfortable.What's even more uncomfortable is that he played the No. [-] position, while Prince returned to the No. [-] position.

An Luo, who controlled the ball and rushed to the frontcourt, couldn't help but feel happy: This time the point guard really didn't pass the ball!

The defensive player on the opposite side followed closely.He knew An Luo before, so naturally he wouldn't give him space to shoot three-pointers.

However, An Luo doesn't just play off the ball.He dribbled the ball continuously under his crotch, and then suddenly started, ready to break through from the front right.The opponent reacted quickly, and immediately followed, but after An Luo took two steps, he turned around sharply, dodged the defender, and jumped to shoot.Under the effect of inertia, the body leaned forward.

"Shh..."

The sound of a two-point pocket is no different from a three-pointer!But there was even more enthusiastic cheers at the scene.

Many people shoot a three-pointer, and everyone will cheer for him.But for An Luo, it's just the opposite.I have seen a lot of his three-pointers, and suddenly he came to a mid-range, which is really eye-catching.What's more, his fadeaway jumper is still very beautiful.
