Chapter 601 "Crazy Three", feeling of suffocation~! !
The sweet 16 match has never been easy.

Even though UCLA has used the super switch tactics to make it difficult for UConn to shoot three-pointers, the team did not lead too much in terms of score.

10 minutes into the first half of the game.

UCLA is only 22 points ahead of the University of Connecticut with 16:6.

Just when UCLA wanted to continue to expand the point difference, because of a mistake by Collison, the University of Connecticut got an open shot.

And it was caught, a steady three-pointer hit, and immediately narrowed the point difference to 3 points.

There is only one three-pointer gap left.

The game continues.

UCLA's offense here, except for Westbrook who is still actively running, the other players just stand there with their hands on their waists, seeming a little tired.

"Coach Holland, it's time to adjust the lineup. The players are already exhausted. The intensity of the 10-minute game is already the limit, and it cannot be increased~!"

Lan Shengli reminded Holland.

Although not sitting on the coaching bench, Lan Shengli has become a "chief assistant".

"After the substitution, our height advantage may be gone, and we may not be able to use zone defense anymore,"

Holland said in a worried tone.

"Since the effect of the zone defense is so good, I think man-marking is also okay~!! And the University of Connecticut should also start to make substitutions and adjustments. Their ability to make three-pointers off the bench is not enough~!"

Lan Shengli said.

"I can only continue to gamble,"

Holland sighed and greeted several substitute players.

Soon, between a defensive foul, the two teams changed players a lot. UCLA replaced Collison and kept Westbrook on the court.

UConn traded Thabeet.

"Although Thabeet didn't have much direct confrontation with our center forward, he also put in a lot of physical energy in protecting the frame. If Thabeet goes down, I think we can focus on the inside~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to remind Holland in a low voice.

"I haven't worried about the offensive end. I mainly focus on the defensive end. I don't want to be hit by the opponent's three-pointers in a row~!!"

Holland said.

"This should not be the case. Although the University of Connecticut is a three-point team, the most accurate and best-shooting players in their team are all starting. After being replaced, their three-point shooting ability has declined. I learned a lot, so there is no need to worry at all, when we watched the video before, we also understood, "

Lan Shengli responded.

"I hope there won't be a mysterious pitcher or something,"

Holland continued to sigh.

Here Westbrook is dribbling the ball and organizing the offense.

"Now that Love and Collison are gone, the team's offensive burden falls on me. I want to prove to everyone, to those NBA scouts, let them take a look, I West Brook's ability to lead the team~!!!"

Westbrook thought to himself, and directly used his best "body crushing" breakthrough to rush towards the basket.

"UConn's bench lineup has dropped a lot in three-point shooting, but their defense is better than the starting players. Westbrook's playing like this is a bit inappropriate~!!"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli became worried.

When Westbrook got two steps inside the free throw line, the University of Connecticut chose a closed-door tactic.

It's just that this "closed-door tactic" is different from UCLA's "closed-door tactic".

UCLA is "close the door front and back", and the University of Connecticut is "close the door left and right".

But the effect is the same, that is to prevent the offensive player from advancing.

Westbrook was forced to stop the ball.

When the University of Connecticut players saw this, they double-teamed more "aggressively" and didn't give Westbrook any room to shoot.

Westbrook had a chance to pass the ball at first, but after being completely caught, there was no room to pass the ball, and under the double-team, Westbrook was still a little unstable on his feet and could walk at any time Risk of non-compliance.

The University of Connecticut players "took advantage of the fire" and directly robbed the ball that Westbrook was holding in his arms.

"Hey~!!!!!!"

Seeing this, Westbrook desperately protected the ball while shouting complaints at the referee.

But the referee ignored it, and just focused on seeing who was in control of the ball.

Westbrook has fallen to the ground to protect the ball, and UConn immediately fell and continued to hold the ball.

"Pause~!! Pause~!!"

Westbrook desperately protected the ball while calling a timeout, but perhaps the scene was relatively noisy, and the referee didn't hear what Westbrook was saying at all.

After all, there are more people at the University of Connecticut here. The two double-team players have already touched the ball at the same time, but Westbrook is still holding the ball tightly and refuses to let go.

"Beep~!!!"

Seeing that several players were about to wrestle together, the referee immediately blew his whistle, stopped the fight, and made a gesture of scrambling for the ball.

Seeing this, the two University of Connecticut players immediately got up and celebrated the successful defense by high-fiving other teammates.

"Why~?! I've already called timeout~!!"

And Westbrook was still sitting on the ground, still holding the ball in his arms with both hands, looking at the referee with very innocent eyes, and asking.

"I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it, get up~!! Get ready for the jump ball~!!"

The referee said.

"I called timeout no less than three times, how could I not hear it~?!"

Westbrook stood up, chasing the referee and asking.

"If you didn't hear it, you didn't hear it, don't ask any more~!"

The attitude of the referee is equally tough.

Westbrook had no choice but to shake his head with a helpless expression, and came to the jump ball point, ready to jump the ball.

"The defensive strength of the University of Connecticut has really increased. This kind of defensive situation consumes the most physical energy of the players. Even if Westbrook has a physical energy that is different from ordinary people, I am afraid that he cannot bear this consumption."

Lan Shengli sighed.

"Huh~, this game suddenly has a very strong sense of suffocation,,,"

Lan Shengli took a deep breath and continued to sigh.

Here the referee has thrown the ball into the air, and Westbrook and the UConn players are jumping for the ball.

Westbrook jumped higher, but the UConn players were taller, and both of them touched the ball and basically did not change the direction of the ball.

The ball fell straight down vertically.

All ten players looked up at the ball covetously.

"My~!!!"

"It's mine~!!!"
