Chapter 606

Darren Collison, a guard with a height of only 183 cm, when he joined UCLA in 2005, no one was optimistic that he could become UCLA's head guard.

Because in high school, Collison has not been reused by the team because of his height and strength disadvantages.

But after all, Collison has a good overall view and organizational skills, and the original coach Holland also took a fancy to these and decided to bring Collison to UCLA.

With Holland's strong training and support, Collison has made significant progress. Although his height is still only 183 cm, although his strength has not improved much, but in the UCLA environment, Collison has passed very comfortable.

Holland also tailored some plays for Collison.

Collison also used his wonderful performance in each game to stabilize his position as the starting point guard step by step.

It is also because of a stable backcourt that UCLA has achieved excellent results in the past few seasons.

Consecutively reaching the final four of March Madness is the best proof.

But for UCLA, it is more or less a pity that it failed to win the final championship.

Now they are working hard with practical actions to restore the regret left by the previous season.

But in the Sweet 16 round, Collison, who shouldn't have any problems at all, has become UCLA's biggest hidden danger today.

For some unknown reason, Collison missed the defense twice in a row, once slipped on the soles of his feet, was directly passed by the opponent once, and was scored two consecutive three-pointers by the opponent.

"No, there must be something wrong with Collison. This is not his normal level. At the beginning of the game, he was fine, and there is no such situation as now. There is definitely a problem~!!"

Lan Shengli analyzed with a dignified expression, thinking about Collison's appearance in the locker room during the half-time break, and his tone was very puzzled.

"Hey, okay, okay, let me guard~!!"

Westbrook spoke to Collison in a somewhat angry tone.

"No problem, just guard against your own people~!"

Collison responded.

Seeing this, Westbrook didn't say any more, dribbling the ball and walking towards the frontcourt.

Because Connecticut scored two consecutive three-pointers, the point difference has been indented, so UCLA has become impatient, and the offense is a bit simple.

After the pick-and-roll, Westbrook broke through two steps and threw the ball directly with a small throw.

"Clang clang~!!"

The ball bounced out of the frame, and luck was a little bit worse.

"This is not the shooting method that Westbrook is good at. Collison should be more organized to attack the position~!!"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli sighed.

While talking, the University of Connecticut attacked again, perhaps because they discovered that something was wrong with Collison, and here they gave Collison another chance to single.

Teammates spaced out all around, even Thabeet.

Collison lowered his center of gravity, defending with a very serious expression.

But it does seem a bit "fake tiger prestige".

I saw that the University of Connecticut player was just a simple front cross step in disguise, and he basically passed Collison.

"What~?! And,, passed again~?!"

Seeing this, Holland also looked at Collison in great surprise.

But this time Collison was not "clean" by his opponent.

Collison followed his opponent closely, still putting pressure from the side.

But this pressure doesn't seem to be enough, and offensive players use better confrontation ability to suppress Collison.

The other UCLA players seemed to be a little short-circuited, and none of them helped Collison to make up defense.

Maybe they subconsciously feel that Collison shouldn't be passed so easily.

But it's actually really easy.

Collison still did not give up, trying to steal the opponent.

But the opponent has already made a layup posture.

Collison cut to the ball protector of the offensive player's left hand with his palm, holding the ball in his right hand, and threw the ball steadily without causing any real interference.

"Hey~!!!"

However, the action of throwing the ball was discovered by the referee, who called the thug for a foul.

"Clang clang~!!"

And over there, the ball bounced off the rim.

"Brush~~"

Then bounced into the net.

Collison once again had a defensive failure. Not only was the ball scored, but he also lost a foul.

If he scored after the additional penalty, it would be equivalent to losing 9 points in a row on Collison's head.

"Are you giving points on purpose~?!"

Westbrook really couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, glared at Collison, and asked.

"Could it be that you didn't come to defend me at that time just now~?! During the previous training, Coach Holland also arranged this way, and we all did this in the first half. You have a problem too, okay? ~!!"

Collison also responded with a strong attitude.

"How to make up the defense~?! You are passed by once every time, and I can't make up the defense in time, so I can only pay for the foul~!!"

Westbrook continued to respond, and the two of them under the basket ignored the cameras on the side and quarreled openly with everyone's attention.

"In the final analysis, it's your problem. If you don't want to play, you can continue. We can win [-]v[-] at UCLA~!"

Westbrook continued to point and talk.

"Didn't you miss a lot of shots yourself~!? How many opportunities you wasted, don't you know~?!"

Collison also continued to respond. Unlike Westbrook's toughness, Collison appeared more "wronged".

Always feel like something is on my mind.

In short, it is extremely rare for the team's backcourt duo to suddenly quarrel in such a crucial game as the Sweet 16.

Although these two people have had disharmony and bickering before, but it was basically during training or in a game, which was the first time.

"Okay, okay, okay~!!! Don't talk about it, let's try to win it back,,,"

Le Fu ran between the two of them and tried to persuade them.

Seeing this, the other teammates quickly pulled the two away to prevent further escalation of the conflict.

"It's not so good,,, Love's outside shot has been strictly guarded by the opponent. If there is any dispute between Collison and Westbrook at this time, it will greatly affect the unity of our team, and then affect the team. Defensive cooperation,,, "

Lan Shengli spoke with a worried expression.

"You also saw how that guy has been beaten by his opponent~?!"

Westbrook continued to complain to Love.

"The ball just now should have been defended by him,,,"

Collison is also talking to his teammates.
