Chapter 71 Winning streak
In a person's life, he will encounter many things, which may not be what he wants to do, or he may feel that he can't do it well, but if you try it, you will probably like it.

The one-on-one with Holiday gave An Luo a taste of the thrill of defense.Next, Alex, Prince, and Tony couldn't run away. Whether it was playing outside or inside, An Luo was able to handle it with ease.

This phenomenon was soon discovered by Alford.Like crazy, he personally arranged for Holiday to test An Luo's defensive skills again.

Soon, Alford got what he wanted.He is very happy, An Luo's one-man defense is enough to deal with most players in the NCAA.He couldn't understand this Chinese kid, it was so weird that he suddenly had such abilities!
He really wanted to find out what kind of changes had taken place in An Luo.If such a change can be replicated, it would be incredible.

This is of course his whimsy, how could An Luo tell him the whole story!Even if there is a way, it is impossible to tell him a foreigner.

"Epiphany!"

This is the answer An Luo told Alford, afraid that he would not understand, An Luo also made up a white lie and explained it to him: If a person often watches the videos of those players who are good at defense, watching enough When the time comes, you will naturally understand, and you will.

As for whether Alford understood or not, An Luo didn't care.But he knew that he would be taken more seriously in the team in the future.

He could tell from Alford's expression.It can be said that his changes made Alford completely relieved of the team's perimeter.Whether it is offense or defense, it is already the top batch in the entire NCAA.

Of course, the effect of all this still needs to be tested through actual combat.And right now, there is a good opportunity.

On December 12, UCLA welcomed the University of Kentucky at Parley Field.This is a very strong team, and it can even be said that the University of Kentucky will be the strongest opponent they have encountered this season.

Compared with UCLA, the University of Kentucky also has a very profound heritage and super combat effectiveness.They are the first NCAA team to win 2000 games and are the winners of eight NCAA tournament championships.Most recently, in 8, the Anthony Davis-led Kentucky Wildcats beat the University of Kansas to win the NCAA Tournament Championship.

This Kansas was the only Kansas UCLA lost in November.

Although Kentucky regrettably lost to Connecticut in the finals last year, Karl-Anthony Towns, Willie Cauley-Stein, Devin Booker and other players on the team are all powerful guys.

Good thing these guys are in the NBA!Among them, Towns was picked by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the No. 13 pick in the draft, Cauley Stein was the sixth pick, and Devin Booker was the No. [-] pick.

However, for a school like Kentucky, there is never a shortage of talented players to join.Jamal Murray, a talented high school student on the back line this year, was ranked 2015th among ESPN's 6 high school students.Both offensive and defensive talents are extremely strong!
Of course, the current An Luo is not bad either.

But other people who eat melons are not optimistic about UCLA.They all believe that Jamal Murray can completely offset An Luo's role on the offensive end.Moreover, in terms of defense, although Murray is not good, at least he is better than An Luo.

Americans naturally think that Americans are good.In fact, Murray's physical fitness can only be regarded as a medium level in the second position, and his speed and explosive power are also very average.This is why he often appears in the number one position.The biggest feature is excellent technology and strong fighting spirit.Murray's number one killer move is a precise outside shot.However, compared with An Luo's incredible three-point ability, it is much worse.In addition, Jamal Murray is not a sharp attacker and cannot rely on speed and explosiveness to get rid of good defenders.Once the defensive strength comes up, his chances of making mistakes will rise sharply.

This is what Alex told An Luo, he has always liked to collect information on these aspects.

As the saying goes: Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.In fact, their team has staff dedicated to collecting intelligence about opponents.Alex also got the information about Murray from there.

It is conceivable that An Luo will be thoroughly studied by others sooner or later.It is possible that his technical abilities are well understood by now.But he is not worried, understanding and restriction are not equal.An Luo just needs to perfect his skills.Superstars like Kobe, James, Durant, and Curry in the NBA never worry about others restricting them.

The game between UCLA and Kentucky can be said to be beyond people's expectations.Kentucky's backcourt core Jamal Murray was completely frozen by An Luo!Not only that, Kentucky didn't restrict An Luo very well.With this increase and decrease, the gap comes out.

Although An Luo's outside shooting percentage did drop in this game, Alford increased his shots.Throughout the game, An Luo made 28 of 11 three-pointers and almost fell to the lowest shooting percentage given by three-pointers.But Jamal Murray, who was facing him, was even worse, making one of seven three-pointers, which was made when An Luo was not around.Two-pointers and three-for-eight shots.In [-] minutes of playing, only [-] points were recorded. Fortunately, he made two free throws, otherwise the score would not be in double digits.

There is no harm without comparison.An Luo's 28 points made Murray feel ashamed, and also made those who advocated Murray before the game speechless.

Who would have thought that after only a few days, An Luo would transform into an elite defender!
If it is said that An Luo only got the attention of ordinary fans and the media before, he was only regarded as a three-point shooter.So now An Luo has made scouts from various teams in the NBA start to pay attention to him.

In fact, these scouts came to observe Jamal Murray.An Luo just discovered it by accident.

Next, UCLA defeated UC Long Beach with a score of 98:81, winning the second four-game winning streak this season.

An Luo once again dominated both offensive and defensive ends. Under his defense, the opponent's second position became extremely struggling, as if he didn't know how to play.

If An Luo only let everyone see his changes in the last game, this game, let everyone really see An Luo's defensive ability.

This time, the wind of public opinion on the Internet made An Luo much more comfortable.There are fewer voices questioning him, and everyone recognizes him more and more.
