Vol 2 Chapter 55: Regional finals

　　 On March 12, the final of the Pacific 12th School League Championship was played at the home stadium of Pali Stadium.
　　 It is the University of Oregon who is competing for the championship!
　　 This team, which defeated USC and USC one after another in the last week, continued their good form in the regional tournament, beating the University of Utah and the University of Arizona one after another, and once again stood in front of them.
　　 However, they themselves knew that this time they were not facing the same one from the previous day. But they are in a very good state now, and they can completely fight the whole body.
　　 For the University of Oregon, it is a very strong opponent, but not as strong as their own level. In this season, they could have double-killed each other, but due to Alford's preservation strength, they lost to each other.
　　 I have to say that there is some truth to the causal cycle. If you go all out, the University of Oregon may not even be able to compete in the regional competition. But they released the water and they met again in the final.
　　 If they lose to the opponent, their behavior of releasing water should be taken out by countless people as negative teaching materials!
　　 So, you have to win, and you have to win beautiful enough!
　　 Alford is a very careful man. Before the game, he carefully studied the video of the recent University of Oregon game. He needed to find out why the opponent kept winning.
　　The so-called: knowing oneself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end. When Alford met the University of Oregon for the first time, he studied it thoroughly. In his original conclusion, the University of Oregon has no such ability.
　　 So this change is very important.
　　 But he finally discovered that the University of Oregon was nothing extraordinary. It is nothing more than that like all teams, it has strengthened the intensity of defense, and then stimulated the offensive ability of some players to a greater extent.
　　 If you want to talk about the more conspicuous differences, there are still some. In their recent winning streak, Chris Boucher and Dillon Brooks, both inside and outside, performed very well.
　　 Especially Dillon Brooks scored 28 points in the final 3, plus 5 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal. And because of this, he won the best player of the 12th school league last week.
　　 But Alford was not too worried. His strategy was to put Chris Boucher in singles and lock up Dillon Brooks. This is due to strong perimeter defense. To talk about the restrictions on the opponent's perimeter players, his team recognizes the second, and no one dares to recognize the first among more than a dozen teams in the Pacific 12th School League.
　　 At the beginning of the game, the players at the University of Oregon suffered very tough defense from the players. Although Alex is in charge of Dillon Brooks' defense, Anlow has been staring at him. As soon as Brooks catches the ball, he will double-team immediately. It doesn't matter if the player at the second position he is marking is emptied.
　　 This is the most successful one. Faced with the two defensive elites, Anluo and Alex, Dillon Brooks was completely at a loss. Not only did he fail to play offensively, but he made frequent mistakes. There were 5 turnovers within ten minutes before the game. This is more than his turnover per game throughout the season.
　　The players at this point are very successful. In Alford's words, as long as Brooks is not allowed to score, everyone else can do whatever they want!
　　 Tony Parker is still the same as usual, blocking the opponent's center from letting him get close to the basket. In most cases, Jock and Alex grab the rebounds. This is a hard work. Although he may not have as many rebounds in a game, he will definitely lose a lot of rebounds without him.
　　 Because of these mistakes, he quickly established an advantage.
　　 An Luo was not very active on the offensive end in this game. He only shot 4 times in the first ten minutes. 1 of 2 outside the three-point line, 1 of 2 in the middle distance, 5 points. Maybe it's putting energy on the defensive end.
　　 Since An Luo focuses on defense, he consumes more physical energy. Therefore, he played 10 minutes in the first half.
　　 As Prince made a pick, the lead was pulled to 10 points. Facing the University of Oregon's bench, he played very resolutely. This is what Alford needs him to do.
　　 But the University of Oregon responded quickly. Chris Boucher scored consecutively on the inside, bringing the score closer again. Moreover, he caused Prince's offensive foul when he made his last offense before halftime and got a free throw opportunity. Although only two free throws were made, the difference between the two sides was shortened to less than two rounds.
　　 In fact, in this game, Chris Boucher is the key to the University of Oregon's ability to bite the score. After Dillon Brooks pressed the goods, he propped up the team's offense, relying on precise mid-range to keep scoring.
　　 During the intermission, Alford looked solemn. Although he is still in the leading position, the game did not go as he expected~EbookFREE.me~ The most important thing is An Luo's performance. He is a little dissatisfied.
　　 "Ann, I have to tell you that you did not complete the task I gave you." Alford has always said one thing, and will not save face to anyone. Therefore, he said to An Luo: "As a leader, I appreciate your focus on defense. But that is not the whole game. You have to play your best role to score. Your ability is in the first half. Didn’t play at all! I need you to score, whether it’s from outside the three-point line or rushing into the inside. Your scoring will reduce our pressure on the defensive end, do you understand?"
　　 "Then, let's re-arrange. In the second half, Ann, you play the first position. Aron, you play the second position, and you are responsible for double-teaming the opponent's third position with Alex."
　　 "Ann, I need you to score points! Are you white?"
　　 "I see! Steve." An Luo nodded. He also felt that he was too focused on the defensive end in the first half. This is not his usual style. But Alford arranged for himself to double-team Brooks, which involved his attention!
　　 However, he didn't need to worry about that much in the second half. Then it's time for full firepower!
　　 At this time, the atmosphere on the bench at the University of Oregon was pretty good. In this game, except for Dillon Brooks alone, everyone had a pretty good life. Especially Chris Boucher, who made 8 of 12 shots in the first half and 2 of 3 free throws. He scored a game-high 18 points and was very efficient.
　　Actually, this must be thanks to Brooks, his defensive force involved, so that Chris has frequent opportunities to end the offense.
