Vol 2 Chapter 22: Decisive moment

No matter how close the defense is, there will always be loopholes. Just like the sharp attack, there will be weakness.
　　 After continuous screens and conversions, the opponent's defense was broken. But they did not open the score because of this.
　　 There are some problems with their own offense.
　　 Prince, who was cut off the breakthrough route, showed the instability of his outside shooting. Five minutes before the second half, he fired frequently from the outside and made six shots, but only hit one goal. Terribly inefficient!
　　 An Luo still has a hard time getting a good opportunity. The opposing defender clung to the court, defended and doubled. If it is too late, he will directly hit the ball, even if he is compensated for a foul, he will not let An Luo throw the basketball. The NCAA's "1+1" free throw rule allows them to be open to non-shooting fouls.
　　 The Tony Parker basically has no ability to attack independently. He is a coolie in the starting lineup, averaging 6.5 points per game, most of which are based on pie.
　　 Only Holiday and Alex are left. They can score, but they are not enough to be the core of the victory.
　　 The depression on the offensive end was completely vented to the opposing players through the defensive end.
　　 So, the second half of the game looked quite boring. Neither team played a good offense. In particular, their usual fast-paced offense was severely damaged by the opponent, basically unable to run, and slowly fell into the opponent's slow rhythm. The players played hard.
　　 And USC is equally uncomfortable, their positional offense is difficult to break through the defense, the weird appearance of "I can't make it, you don't want to make it", so that the people of USC suffered a lot. As a result, they have to do their best for every goal they score.
　　In such a "defensive battle", players on both sides must always maintain focus and high-intensity confrontation. This is a huge physical drain on the players. So in the second half, the coaches on both sides were very busy. They have to constantly rotate players to ensure that the players on the field are hardworking; they also need to consider how to crack the opponent's tactics...
　　 An Luo came down after playing for 5 minutes, and his arms were already red! Those people are too shameless, as long as they carry the referee, they can do everything. Of course An Luo is not easy to provoke, he also gave the opponent a few big elbows when the referee couldn't see it.
　　 In the last five minutes of the game, Alford once again replaced An Luo and Alex. The latter has also been resting for several minutes.
　　 The opposite of USC is the same, with all the main players. Everyone knows that the time has come to decide the outcome!
"Ann, you have to increase your shots. Don't entangle with the opponent's players anymore, get rid of them. Now the opponent's players are very tired, you can definitely find a shot!" Alex exhorted Anro. He hopes An Luo can play his own rhythm. Even if he has only scored 8 points so far in today's game, Alford did not doubt Anlo's ability.
　　 "I see! Steve!" An Luo nodded, then ran to the technical stage, ready to play.
　　 Seeing An Luo and Alex come on stage, there was a burst of cheerful shouts from the audience. No matter how they performed before this, those true fans will not lose their expectations.
　　 As soon as he played, An Luo scored.
　　 Same as before, when the other party saw An Luo coming up, he still clung to him tightly. He tried a few times, although he couldn't get rid of it completely, but the opponent's speed and speed were already slower anyway. Sure enough, these guys have lost a lot of physical strength.
　　 This is good news.
　　 Holiday received the ball returned by Alex at the top of the arc, and then faced the basket, posing a three-threat pose.
　　 He tried a few steps, but the opponent's No. 1 position was not vegetarian either. Not only did it not lose its position, it also blocked Holiday's route to the inside.
　　 An Luo was on the right at this time. He suddenly started and ran from the bottom line. Then, with the help of Alex's pick-and-roll, he accelerated to a 45-degree angle on the left. An Luo, who got rid of the defender, got a free three-pointer.
　　 Holiday passed the ball in the first time. After An Luo received the ball, he did not make any adjustments and took the shot decisively. The speed is very fast and the posture is very standard.
　　 The arc of the basketball flying out was very high, but in the end it plunged into the hoop.
　　 "Huh!"
　　 An Luo, who hit a three-pointer, seemed particularly excited. He waved his fist and ran on the court. Depressed most of the game, and finally scored again!
　　 "A three-pointer hit! From marksman Ann~ Luo!"
　　 leads by 4 points.
　　 "An Luo! An Luo!"
　　 There was a huge shout on the Pali court, and An Luo's name echoed in the arena again.
　　 turned his head, the USC player quickly delivered the baseline ball and then advanced to the frontcourt. The reaction is not slow, and each quickly settles in the defensive area.
　　 The opponent's second position held the ball at the top of the arc, and Anlo followed Alford's arrangement to prevent penetration and miss shots. So he didn't get too close. This guy's first step is very fast~EbookFREE.me~ If he gets close, he is easily thrown off.
　　Under Anluo's defense, the opponent hasn't really been able to break through directly.
　　 If you fail to play singles, you can only call your teammates.
　　 saw him reach out and make a gesture. That should be a USC tactical gesture! Afterwards, the opponent's big insider pulled out and made a solid pick and roll.
　　 An Luo was blocked by the opponent's wide body, only watching the second position break through from the right.
　　 Alex passed by for the first time, but he hit the opponent's arms. The space under the basket was vacated in an instant, and the big man who went down as if in no one's land, stepped to the basket in two steps, then jumped up and pushed the basketball flying in the air into the basket.
　　 Beautiful air pick, perfect cooperation!
　　 As the big man yelled up to the sky, there was a hustle and bustle in Pali Stadium. The red USC people danced with joy. They all stood up, chanting their school slogans in unison. The people on the home court were not to be outdone. At this moment, they became extremely tidy, and more than 10,000 people unanimously launched a counterattack. The sky's boos drowned the red in an instant.
　　 An Luo shook his head, he was dislocation defending, completely unable to stop the big man from advancing.
　　 USC bit the score tenaciously. Until the last minute of the game, the score on the court was still only 2 points.
　　 At the last minute, the USC head coach called a timeout. Two points behind, he must make a good arrangement to make the final preparations for victory.
