Chapter 608 Become Three Points, Lose Three Points (Part [-])
"I didn't expect that UCLA's defense is so good, and it has kept UConn from getting a good shot from the beginning of the game to now. It's really incredible~!"

The UConn fans sighed as they watched the team be blocked by the super zone defense again and again without a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

Although UCLA's defense was very successful, it also paid a very high price.

Several main players on the field faltered, as if they had already played three overtimes.

"Coach Holland, the players are already very tired. If there is no personnel adjustment, why don't we switch to man-to-man defense first, and give the players some breathing time~!!"

Although Lan Shengli made a suggestion.

"Man-to-man defense should be more physically demanding than the current zone defense. Are you sure you want to use this tactic~?!"

But Holland's questioning made Lan Shengli's suggestion seem to end without a problem.

"But now this tactic consumes too much for the players. It's not a way to be scored two-point goals by the opponent all the time~!"

Lan Shengli still responded without giving up.

Before the team wins or loses, Lan Shengli can't care so much anymore, he just wants to let Holland understand his thoughts.

"Swipe~!!!"

While talking here, the University of Connecticut players once again easily passed Love's defense, and a very freehand pick basket sent the ball into the basket.

This is the fourth time in a row that UCLA has failed to defend against the opponent's offense.

"Yeah!!!!!!"

UConn fans cheered.

After all, this kind of situation is really rare in this game until now.

With this pick, the University of Connecticut also expanded the point difference to 4 points.

It's also a "huge lead" they've never had before.

"Dum~!!!"

Holland thought for a while, and called a timeout after Westbrook dribbled the ball across half court.

At this point in the game, UCLA no longer has any advantage.

"Love, Russell, the two of you come down to rest, stop zone defense, switch to man-to-man defense, do you hear~?!"

Here, Holland also decided to use Lan Shengli's suggestion after thinking twice.

"Huh~~, thank you Coach Holland, I am really grateful to believe in me at such a moment~!"

Lan Shengli listened and sighed.

"Although after man-to-man defense, the inside protection and defense against breakthroughs should be better, but because Love and Collison are not around, this defense against three-pointers has become a more troublesome thing,,,"

Lan Shengli became worried.

"Pray to God, the University of Connecticut will not rain three minutes, although such prayers do not feel very meaningful, but we still have to think about the good~!"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

"They have no physical fitness now, they are already tired, we take advantage of now to expand the lead in one fell swoop, the time has come to secure the victory, strengthen the defensive aggressiveness~!! Let them be exhausted~!!! Let's go~!!!"

Here, the head coach of the University of Connecticut is getting excited and talking in a very excited state.

After all, the team has been suppressed by UCLA for so long, and it must be even more exciting to finally see the hope of a reversal.

"Coach, I'm fine now, I won't make any more mistakes, let me go~!"

The players here have already returned to the field one after another. Collison came to Holland, looked at Holland eagerly, and said.

"This,,,,"

Holland hesitated.

"With this lineup, Collison should have room to play. In fact, he should really be allowed to give it a try,"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli secretly sighed.

"Go up~!!"

Here, Holland may have heard Lan Shengli's innermost thoughts, so he spoke directly.

In this way, Collison went into battle again after resting off the court for about 10 minutes.

"Clang clang~!!"

Because of the absence of Westbrook and Love, the two offensive strengths, UCLA's offense has fallen into a situation where there is no main offense.

After passing the ball for a long time, the striker made a three-pointer, which ended in a strike.

"It's normal that this lineup doesn't have a stable scoring ability on the offensive end, but if it can't produce the desired effect on the defensive end, it's really bad,"

Lan Shengli watched the game and continued to worry.

"Hmph, if I switch to man-to-man defense, then I can play better. Come on, let you see what the strongest three-point firepower in the entire NCAA is like~!!!"

The head coach of the University of Connecticut saw UCLA's defensive position, and immediately said with a confident expression.

I saw that the University of Connecticut players were just like in the top 32 games at UCLA's home court before. While doing pick-and-roll tactics, they were very focused on transferring the ball to the most accurate pitcher in the team. They also used Collison before. A pitcher who makes multiple three-pointers over turnovers.

Although Collison is following closely, after all, when man-to-man defense, there is more space and offensive players can make more choices.

But this time, maybe because they believed that their touch had come, the University of Connecticut players faced Collison's defense and directly shot a three-pointer.

Collison blocked as many shots as he could.

"Clang clang clang~!!!"

The ball came out of the box in response.

UConn had less luck.

"Huh~~, so hanging, so hanging,,,"

Lan Shengli watched and broke out in a cold sweat.

UCLA's backup inside protected the rebound and gave it to Collison who ran past.

"The ball just now, in fact, if you are more patient, there should be a better chance to appear, but the opponent is the University of Connecticut after all. Seeing the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer, it is like a prairie lion. Like an injured zebra, it must be taken down, but this zebra escaped the lion's attack this time, but whether it can escape twice, it's really hard to say,,, "

Lan Shengli sighed.

"Tap, brush~!!!"

The "injured zebra" here not only successfully escaped the lion's attack, but also fought back, giving the lion a "hoof".

I saw that after Collison used the pick-and-roll, he made an archery posture two meters before the free throw line. The ball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

"Pretty~!!!"

"Good shot~!!!"

Le Fu and others immediately applauded and cheered.

UCLA really hasn't scored in a sports game for a long time.

Here, the University of Connecticut quickly sent the baseline ball, as if they were in a hurry and rushed over as if they were going to the buzzer.

"Do you want to hit us with a weak foothold~?! But it's too anxious,,,"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli became puzzled.
