After reaching an agreement with his parents on the issue of participating in the election, An Luo felt that he was much easier.
But the next opponent put a lot of pressure on them.
The opponent who scored 16 into 8 is Villanova University, which is an old and strong team.
Villanova University has played in the NCAA since the 1920-21 season, and has entered the NCAA National Championship 30 times, ranking 8th in the United States. Reached the semi-finals of the championship four times. In 1985 he won his only NCAA championship so far.
This season, Villanova University swept the entire league with their fiery outside touch. In the first two rounds of "March Madness", their three-pointers hit a staggering 51%. In the last game, they scoured the University of Maryland with 38 points, and the team shot 76.3% of the field. The performance without any bullets allowed fans to see the shadow of the NBA Warriors.
As far as outside firepower is concerned, Villanova is second, and no team dares to say that he is the first.
Although the outside offense is also famous in the NCAA, it is mostly supported by An Luo alone. Although the others can also shoot some three-pointers, they all remain around the NCAA average. If Anluo can maintain the three-pointer percentage in the last game against Connecticut, he can almost exchange all of the opponent's outside offense.
But that's too difficult. Three-pointers are as strong as Curry, and he can't do all the games.
Alford carefully studied Villanova's game this season, and at the end he looked solemn. The opponent’s offensive firepower is too strong. The star Josh Hart, the backcourt master Ryan Asidiacono, and the all-around wing Chris Jenkins are all players who can shoot suddenly. They all have a very accurate shot. Split the ball. Inside, Daniel O'Sheafu, who has overcome injuries, provides rebound protection, and the lineup is perfectly matched.
Of course, they still have their advantages. The most obvious is that their defense is better than Villanova. Especially the outside defense is much better than the opponent. So, this game is interesting! The NCAA's strongest perimeter defense and the NCAA's strongest perimeter offense are simply a spear and shield battle.
The game was still played at the Pali Stadium, which was considered a little bit advantage.
On the 25th, the Bruins were all ready to go to face the mighty opponent Villanova. This is a difficult game, but they have to cross it. Otherwise, this will be the last game of the season.
The audience at the scene were very excited. Although the last game was out of state as a whole, it was only because of this situation that he witnessed a crazy An Luo. In this game, they look forward to a more exciting performance.
But there are still some people who really understand the ball, and they sweated.
"Today's game will be difficult for us to play! Villanova's firepower is too strong, I'm afraid we can't stand it."
"Don't worry, An will solve the battle! He did that in the last game." Probably, all "brain fans" should think of this issue in this way.
"Two fists are hard to beat four legs. Ann is only one person. It is too difficult to face Villanova's entire outside line!"
"Don't worry man, there is only one for Ann, but there is only one basketball. As long as Ann can make a shot, what about the number of opponents? Ann's shooting has never disappointed us!"
……
An Luo entered the field amidst the shouts of the DJ, and after he clapped with his teammates, he began to warm up.
With headphones on, he started to shoot three-pointers after doing two sets of stretching exercises. In today's game, he must maintain extreme concentration. Alford has given him a heavy task, and he also wants to challenge the so-called team with the strongest three-pointer.
It's not that An Luo is arrogant. Since he has played until now, only three points, no one can absolutely defeat him.
His usual training is similar to the NBA three-point contest. All five shooting points were one meter away from the three-point line. Twenty are thrown for each point, and five points are counted as a group.
An Luo will practice at least five sets of three-pointers every day. He must ensure his shooting rhythm and posture. Of course, on the day of the game, An Luo will not finish the shot during the warm-up and there is not enough time. But the time for the two groups is more than enough.
Other people are also doing their own things. Alex and Holiday were practicing layups, the Tony was practicing free throws from the free throw line, and Bryce was also shooting three-pointers.
Alford and his assistant coach kept discussing something. Although he had studied thoroughly before this, Alford was still a little worried. After all, his pressure is the greatest. In the two years before that, their lineup was also very good and they played very well. But they all lost in 16-to-8 games. If he loses again this year, he may have to look for work again. No matter if his work is not in place, as long as there is no achievement, this pot is his.
An Luo shot ~EbookFREE.me~ while staring at Villanova's players in the other half. It can be seen that the three-pointers on the opposite side are very good.
Soon, the game began.
Alex jumped vigorously in the middle circle. In every game, the first focus is on him.
Daniel O'Sheafu of Villanova University met Alex when he jumped the ball. He almost hit the basketball with Alex at the same time. Although his take-off speed is a bit slow, his height and wingspan dominate. Fortunately, Alex was anxious to be wise, took the lead and shot the ball to his frontcourt.
But the basketball was snatched by Josh Hart of Villanova. An Luo hurriedly leaned forward, and he followed Hart all the way across the midfield, keeping a half-length distance from the opponent. But Hart did not hold the ball much and passed the ball to Ryan Asidiacono at the top of the arc. The latter rushed into the inside with the cover of his teammates. Just when everyone thought that this attack was over, An Luo saw Jenkins slipping into the corner again.
But he is too far away. And at this time, Alex has already chased Arcidiacono into the post. Holiday also understood what the opponent wanted to do, but was blocked by the opponent, which slowed the speed of the defense change.
"Too bad!"
An Luo is very familiar with such tactics, and they often use them themselves. Holiday yelled at the opponent and straightened his arms, but this was only trying to interfere.
But there was no effect, the basketball still accurately broke through the rim of Pali Stadium.
Villanova University made a head start on the away game, and played a sublime cooperation right from the start.
