In fact, it's not that Coach Donovan has never thought about "double teams" or "2-1-2 formation", but after studying UCLA's previous games, he found that these are actually very difficult to really restrict Zhuang Yu, because Zhuang Yu is so versatile.

For a player who can pass, break through, and shoot, and is very accurate in three-pointers and two-pointers, it will be difficult for you to restrict the opponent.

If you double-team, others will use your double-team to contain your defense, and then create scoring opportunities for your teammates. A player who can pass the ball can always turn the opponent's double-team into his own assists.

You use 2-1-2, which is when Zhuang Yu holds the ball.

In fact, whether it is double-teaming or 2-1-2, once Zhuang Yu does not hold the ball and plays without the ball, and the three-pointer is missed, these defensive strategies are useless.

How can you double-team when someone is playing without the ball? How can you double-team when someone catches the ball and shoots? Who do you target with 2-1-2 when they don't have the ball? If you don't have the ball to attack, do you still need that "1" to delay, and then use multi-layer defense to restrict others?

In Coach Donovan's view, the previous coaches did not think outside the box. How to deal with UCLA was still based on how to restrict Zhuang Yu.

This is actually not surprising.

The better Zhuang Yu plays, the more his opponents will pay attention to him and put him first when arranging defense.

This is instinct-driven thinking.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are coaches who do not think this way and realize that whether it is double-teaming or 2-1-2, it is difficult to restrict Zhuang Yu. They understand that restricting Zhuang Yu will not work. The real problem is that even if you are aware of it, you are unable to do anything about it.

Compared with other coaches, Coach Donovan may have a higher level of thinking and coaching, but it is also inseparable from the strength of the University of Florida itself.

For example, at this time on the court, there was no double-teaming or 2-1-2, but man-to-man marking and a half-court press.

One is because coach Donovan realizes that it is difficult to restrict Zhuang Yu whether it is double-teaming or 2-1-2.

He decided to change his approach and use only one man to defend Zhuang Yu. He didn't necessarily have to restrict him. He just needed to influence him as much as possible so that his scoring and efficiency would drop.

In addition, guard other UCLA players closely.

To put it bluntly, if I let you Zhuang Yu beat me, wouldn't you be very powerful? Then try and see if you can defeat our entire team by yourself.

Secondly, the University of Florida itself is known for its defense. They have sufficient individual defense capabilities and a mature defensive system.

If we change to another team, regardless of whether the coach can think of it, there is no way to implement it if he thinks of it. The players do not have that ability.

......

"Pick and roll."

Zhuang Yu called a pick-and-roll. He didn't know Coach Donovan's intention. Not only him, the game had just started at this time, and even the two coaches Holland and Wesley didn't see anything.

However, he was keenly aware of the bad atmosphere, so instead of playing in isolation, he called a pick-and-roll to destroy the opponent's man-to-man defense.

"Switch," Wilburkin shouted.

When he was blocked by Latvis, he immediately told his teammates.

Yang quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Zhuang Yu, while several other players shrank their defense slightly, but did not come to help defend. They were still defending Zhuang Yu alone.

Seeing this, Zhuang Yu frowned slightly.

He has never encountered this situation before. Usually the opponent will help defend at this time, or directly double-team.

But...there is no help at the moment, and there is clearly a gap inside.

Without any time to think, he changed direction and accelerated, switched the ball to his right hand, and instantly passed half of Yang's body. Then he took another step forward, hugged the ball and jumped up.

"Be careful."

An exclamation came, Zhuang Yu dodged in the air, and just as he recovered the ball, a palm slapped over his head and landed on the backboard with a snap.

Zhuang Yu's heart skipped a beat, he changed the lever in the air and made a reverse basket with his left hand.

Swish!

The ball was scored and the score was 2:2.

After Zhuang Yu landed, he turned around and looked at him, and he couldn't help but be awe-struck: "He is indeed the best defensive player in the Southeastern Conference. He was able to catch up after I passed him."

Official Yang who almost blocked him just now.

This season, Patrick Young led the team to win the Southeastern Conference championship and won the "Best Defensive Player" award. His defensive ability should not be underestimated.

If it weren't for Zhuang Yu, if it were someone else, it's hard to say that this would be a big deal.

"It's a pity, it's still a little bit close." Yang was annoyed. He knew that Zhuang Yu was fast and had sharp breakthroughs, so he didn't expect to be able to prevent Zhuang Yu's breakthrough early on. But he could turn around quickly and rely on his jumping and explosive power. , hoping to give Zhuang Yu a big hat.

However it failed.

"You're lucky this time." Yang Leng snorted, quickly adjusted his mentality, served from the baseline, and then quickly came to the frontcourt.

In the next few rounds, the University of Florida played very patiently. On the offensive end, they were not in a hurry. They created opportunities through continuous passing and running, relying on excellent tactical execution ability and tacit understanding between teammates, and waited until the opportunity was enough. Okay, then they will take action.

Therefore, the scores in the University of Florida's games are usually not very high, and almost every attack they make takes 25-30 seconds, or even more.

Moreover, the University of Florida's offense does not revolve around Young. Each of the several starting players can attack and each can be a finisher.

This is one of the reasons why Yang, as the core player of the team, only averages 11 points per game.

But what really troubles Zhuang Yu is the opponent's defense. The University of Florida's defense is very fierce. As soon as the UCLA players pass the midline, the opponent will pounce on them and launch a pressing defense, almost all of which are close defense, which is very oppressive. , causing great interference to UCLA players.

After several rounds, except for Zhuang Yu, no one else scored a single goal, and all their shots failed.

"As expected of being the top seed in the South Region, this defense is really scary."

"Of course, the best thing about the University of Florida is its defense. Do you think 28 consecutive victories are due to luck?"

"I have to admit that the University of Florida's defense is really strong, and the Bruins' offense is extremely sharp. They have averaged more than 75 points per game all season. But I didn't expect that three minutes later, the Bruins only scored 2 minutes."

In the auditorium, fans were talking.

Although it only played for three minutes, the strong defense displayed by the University of Florida has already shocked the fans.

UCLA fans are also beginning to worry.

on the field.

Zhuang Yu came to the frontcourt, first glanced at the position of his teammates, then called a pick-and-roll, then moved to the left, passed the ball to Latvis, walked to the bottom corner, crossed with Powell, and helped Powell A cover.

Powell shook off the defender, returned to the top of the key, took the basketball from Latvis, and immediately shot a three-pointer.

However, the University of Florida reacted quickly and quickly completed the defense change. Yang flew towards Powell and interfered with Powell's shooting.

boom!

The goal didn't go in.

A moment later, Zhuang Yu made consecutive breakthroughs with Anderson through continuous penetration, pulling the ball away and passing it to Parker, who caught the ball and shot.

But still didn't get in...
