Chapter 8 The Manipulator

The second half of the warm-up match between UCB and UCLA has begun.

In the first half, UCLA led the opponent by 18 points by virtue of its overall strength, Afflalo's stable performance and Westbrook's explosive performance.

This score should also be the expected situation before. If it weren't for Anderson's consecutive outside hits, maybe the difference would be even bigger.

After the start of the second half, Anderson took advantage of Westbrook's absence and started to hit three-pointers again.

However, UCLA quickly made adjustments, and Westbrook immediately replaced. This time, the replacement was not Afflalo, but the opposing player at the fourth position.

UCLA fielded a very small lineup.

On the other hand, the male protagonist is not very optimistic about UCLA's adjustment this time.

"On the whole, UCLA's tactics have not changed, but if UCB can adjust as I said before, it should get some results~!!"

The hero said.

"Although your analysis made sense before, dude, I still think you have deified Anderson a bit, but then again, isn't UCLA's lineup a bit short, and I'm afraid it will suffer in rebounding~!"

The black brother also saw some clues.

"What~?!?!"

Before the black brother could continue his analysis, he suddenly became amazed.

Seeing UCB's offense, Anderson came to a position close to the bottom line, more than two meters outside the three-second zone, carrying Westbrook on his shoulders, asking for the ball.

UCB really made a change, as the male protagonist speculated, it changed to an inside attack~! !
"Oh my God, I can't believe it, does Anderson still play with his back~!?"

The black brother stared wide-eyed, already staring blankly.

"Look, let me just say, don't be surprised, the best show is yet to come~!!"

The male protagonist is very calm as if he already knew what would happen.

I saw that Anderson used his height advantage to hit Westbrook with ease. Although the latter used the low center of gravity to block Anderson's waist and eyes, and tried to keep Anderson away from the basket as much as possible, but Anderson is heavier after all. Without too many footstep changes, it is "hard hitting".

"Don't try to get inside, you can't beat me~!"

Westbrook carried Anderson and said aggressively.

Anderson didn't say anything, maybe what he was thinking in his mind was what to do next.

"Huh~!?"

Westbrook was suddenly surprised.

I saw that Anderson suddenly stopped dribbling, turned halfway, leaned back, picked up the ball with both hands, raised his right foot, and took off with his left foot on one foot. action~! ! !

"Back~~Fague Jumper~!!??"

The black brother was once again amazed.

With Anderson's height, it is difficult for Westbrook to block normal shots, let alone lean back.

Although the arc of the ball is very flat, but because it is not disturbed by Westbrook, the rotation is very good~~
"Swipe~!!!"

The ball went firmly into the basket.

"Yeah~!!!"

UCB hadn't scored a beautiful goal for a long time, and the venue immediately cheered.

"Beautiful, haha, I didn't expect Anderson to do such a move. What is this move called? It's so familiar, haha~!!"

Seeing this goal, the male lead was also extremely excited. After all, through this goal, the male lead's previous idea was established, and it also greatly exceeded the expected effect.

"Strictly speaking, this goal can be regarded as imitating Dirk Nowitzki's Golden Rooster independence~!!!"

The black boy said with a serious look.

"Ah~~Yes, I seem to have heard this name before, it should be~!!"

The hero said.

"I didn't expect that Anderson would be able to stand on his own. Looking at his skillful turning and leaning back, he must have practiced before. This dude really has a way. No wonder everyone said that he might be selected in the first round in the future. Well, it does make sense~!!”

The little black brother sighed inwardly.

"But having said that, this guy is also amazing. Every time he foresees the movement on the field in advance, it seems to be controlling the game, or in other words, as if he is playing a game. It's incredible~!!!"

The black boy looked at the male protagonist who was focusing on the court, and sighed in his heart again.

UCB has tasted the sweetness by changing Anderson's offensive tactics, but UCLA does not seem to want to make changes, and Westbrook is still going to defend alone.

"Swipe~!!"

"Click~~, swipe~!!"

Anderson was like Afflalo in the first half, with consecutive post-up singles against Westbrook, making hollow hits, and also hitting the board.

"What is the head coach of UCLA thinking~!? Instead, switch back to the big players to defend. I really don't understand. Could it be that Anderson keeps scoring~!?"

The little black brother couldn't stand it anymore, and said angrily.

Although UCB did not reduce the score to single digits because of Anderson's performance, the point difference has been hovering between 15 and 19 points, which is indeed not very safe.

"This may be what happens in the warm-up match~!"

The male protagonist said calmly again.

"Didn't you notice that even though Anderson has been playing very well recently, UCLA's offense has not been disrupted at all, especially this small lineup, which is more flexible, more spaced, and opportunities for outside players Naturally, there will be more, and the point difference has not been narrowed too much. Using the warm-up match to hone the lineup, try new styles of play, and form a new lineup, perhaps that is what the head coach cares most~!!"

The male protagonist analyzed again.

Similarly, this analysis, the black brother was dumbfounded again.

"Dude, tell me, which team's coach are you~!?"

The black brother frowned, looked at the male lead with a serious expression and asked.

"Oh, no, you must be a certain NBA scout who came here to inspect young players~!! Definitely~!! Tell me, which team are you~!?"

The black brother continued to "interrogate" like a policeman.

"Haha~~, I really misunderstood, I am really just an ordinary teacher here~~, really~!!"

The male protagonist scratched his hair in embarrassment, and said with a smile.

"Don't lie to me, is it the Los Angeles Lakers~!? Or the Sacramento Kings~!?"

The black brother is very firm in his judgment.

"I don't have a work permit, but I have never worked in basketball, really~!! I really analyzed it from the perspective of a fan. Maybe it's because I was lucky today, so I guessed it right~! ! Haha~!!"

The male protagonist continued to reply with a smile.

"Hey~!!!"

With the talk between the male protagonist and the black brother, the third quarter ended, and UCB narrowed the point difference in this quarter, trailing UCLA by 16 points.

From the "20 points" agreed upon by the two, there are still 4 points left.

In the last quarter, the outcome between UCLA and UCB seemed to have no suspense, but the suspense in the duel between the male lead and the black brother increased sharply.
