Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

3 month 20 day.

A game is underway at the University of Delaware Stadium.

This is the game between Virginia Commonwealth University, the 5th seed in the South Region, and Stephen F. Austin University, the 12th seed. The winner of this game will be UCLA's opponent in the next round.

So Coach Holland brought Zhuang Yu and others to the scene.

"Bang!"

An explosion came from the court. Henderson, the power forward of Virginia Commonwealth University, performed a two-handed dunk so powerfully that the rim was stretched out of shape.

There were enthusiastic cheers in the auditorium, and Virginia Commonwealth University fans shouted Henderson's name and cheered excitedly.

In the audience, Anderson narrowed his eyes and said to Zhuang Yu, "This Henderson is quite good."

Zhuang Yu nodded and said: "He has a good height and wingspan, and good athletic ability, but his shooting is poor and his skills are a bit rough. Kyle, do you think Parker can guard him?"

Anderson thought for a while and said: "It might be a little difficult if there is only Parker, but if you add me to help defend, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Okay, then I'll leave this guy to you and Parker." Zhuang Yu laughed, and he thought so too.

The game on the field has reached the last few minutes of the fourth quarter. Virginia Commonwealth University leads its opponent by 10 points. If nothing happens, Virginia Commonwealth University will probably win.

Then, UCLA will face Virginia Commonwealth University in the next game.

After watching most of the game, Zhuang Yu also gained some understanding of Virginia Commonwealth University's players and playing style. The strongest player in their lineup is power forward Henderson. Although other positions are also good and the overall balance is relatively balanced, except for Apart from Henderson, there are no outstanding players.

So, just limit Henderson.

A few minutes passed quickly without any surprises. Virginia Commonwealth University defeated its opponent 77:70 and advanced to the second round.

"Let's go." Coach Holland stood up.

A group of Bruins players also stood up and left with the coach.

The Virginia Commonwealth University players on the court noticed the Bruins and looked over. Zhuang Yu sensed the unkind look in his opponent's eyes, but just chuckled - given the strength of Virginia Commonwealth University, there was nothing to be afraid of.

......

However, Ohio State, the No. 6 seed in the South Region, lost to the University of Dayton, the No. 11 seed, and was eliminated. Dayton advanced.

In addition, the No. 7 seed University of New Mexico also lost to the No. 10 seed University of Arizona. In the end, the University of Arizona advanced.

On the contrary, it was the University of Colorado, the No. 8 seed that the public believed was most likely to be defeated. As a result, they defeated the University of Pittsburgh, the No. 9 seed, and successfully entered the second round.

The second round of the competition is also a cross-elimination rule, in which the University of Dayton and the University of Arizona will replace the original No. 6 and No. 7 seeds.

However, these two teams will not face UCLA for the time being.

......

On March 3, UCLA ushered in the second round of the tournament and faced Virginia Commonwealth University, the fifth seed in the Southern District.

UCLA took the lead from the beginning of this game. Zhuang Yu did not go all out from the start, but used his breakthrough to create opportunities for his teammates.

Today, Anderson, Powell, and Latvis are all in good condition. Only Parker was suppressed by the opponent because of his confrontation with Henderson.

Fortunately, with the help of Anderson on the defensive end, Parker did not let Henderson take advantage.

Until halfway through the first half, UCLA still led.

However, starting from the 11th minute of the first half, Virginia Commonwealth University suddenly hit a wave of shock waves, launched a counterattack, and took the lead.

Coach Holland immediately adjusted and replaced Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu hit a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court, and then used the opponent's double-team to attract the defense, put the ball straight inside, and assisted Lamb for a two-handed dunk.

UCLA scored 5 points in a row to stabilize the situation.

Until the end of the first half, UCLA still led its opponent by 6 points.

......

After entering the second half, Virginia Commonwealth University once again launched a counterattack. Their strength is much stronger than the University of Tulsa, especially on the offensive end.

But UCLA is stronger here.

Virginia Commonwealth University double-teamed Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu switched to playing without the ball, allowing Anderson to organize. The two played tacit cooperation one after another. First, Zhuang Yu hit a three-pointer, and then made a layup from an air cut. A moment later, Zhuang Yu attracted the defense and passed another one to Anderson. Anderson scored with a throw...

"Boss."

Little Brown came up to Zhuang Yu, held his cell phone and said excitedly: "Look, your draft pick has been improved again, it's already the 17th pick."

Zhuang Yu curled his lips lightly.

He ranked first in the Southern Conference Championship in both scoring and assists, leading the team to advance to the Sweet 16, but he only moved up by a few points?

As far as he knew, the University of Arizona lost to the University of Kansas in the second round, and Aaron Gordon only scored 13 points, plus 5 rebounds and 2 assists, but that guy's predicted draft pick was already ranked It's the 9th pick.

Isn’t this a clear double standard?

Of course, ESPN will not admit it. It will only say that the prediction of draft picks is based on the comprehensive ranking of players in all aspects of quality, not purely data ranking.

"And Kyle." Brown Jr. added: "His predicted pick has reached the 28th pick in the first round. By the way, there is also LaVine, whose pick is the 22nd pick in the first round."

Now Anderson was a little embarrassed.

LaVine was a freshman with a higher pick than himself. He slapped Brown on the back of the head angrily and said: "Stop paying attention to these useless things. You are not participating in the draft. The next step is the third round of the championship. Use more." Let’s have some snacks on top.”

Little Brown covered the back of his head and muttered: "Why don't I pay attention? I'm always ready, okay?"

Zhuang Yu also smiled and said, "Okay, now we need to focus on the next game. Our opponent this time is not a weak team."
