Vol 2 Chapter 21: Keep going

An Luo has never paid much attention to external affairs. However, after this game, he clearly felt some changes in the people around him.
First of all, when running in the morning every morning, suddenly many people seem to know him. Although some of them may not call Anluo's name, they can at least say "An". Then when An Luo went to class and participated in activities with Tang Xiaoru, many people knew him. He was very enthusiastic about him, he himself was still very strange, and only after chatting did I know why.
At this time, An Luo realized that he was on fire!
Not only in the Chinese circle, but in the whole community.
In fact, he was prepared in his heart, after all, he felt it in Ninth Middle School. But he didn't think so fast, after all, he didn't even make a starter.
You can rest every week at the end of the game. But this time defeating Pepperdine, Alford did not give the players a holiday uncharacteristically, but busy training. It can be seen from his frowning brows that he has no intention to enjoy the joy of three-game winning streak.
He is under great pressure now. In American sports circles, the head coach is a very good job, but it is not easy. His leadership has finally improved in the last two years, but has never been able to reach the top 16 hurdle. If you don't get any results, you will find your next job.
As the head coach, Alford naturally understands the strength of his team. It’s no problem to reach the top 16 this year, but it’s hard to go further. After all, the hard power is still inferior to the top NCAA teams.
But it is not completely hopeless. That is to completely change the team's usual tactical thinking, playing and running. And he has this foundation in his team. The risk is relatively high. After all, he is not used to it. He has never used such a tactic in his coaching years.
Pepperdine is not a good test opponent, so he still didn't make up his mind. However, he is willing to try.
During these three days of training, he kept observing the playing style of Holiday's five players, and then proposed feasible solutions to the problems. He is not a bombardment expert like D'Antoni, but as a professional coach, he knows all tactics. After a break, he took Holiday and others to watch the Phoenix Suns game video repeatedly. Compared with the current Warriors, Alford is more inclined to the Suns ten years ago.
At 11 o'clock in the morning on November 24, Pali Stadium. The Bruins ushered in their fourth opponent, the University of Nevada Las Vegas Running Rebels from the Western Mountain League.
When An Luo saw this long name, it was the same as everyone was thinking now. Maybe the name is longer and the strength is stronger! After all, this team is the same so far, and it's not a defeat. Although they only played two games.
An Luo is still sitting on the bench properly, he no longer expects Alford to let him start, only hope it will be his turn sooner.
In fact, a team with a long name is not necessarily strong. Good record does not necessarily play well. After all, it is a warm-up match, and there are not a few teams that are honing the lineup.
An Luo was still substituted in the eighth minute, and of course there were several other friends with him. Alford is actually a very stubborn person. Anyway, he is training the lineup, why not just be a bit more!
After the change, the offense began to accelerate. The first thing that changed was Holiday. He changed from his previous slowness and played aggressively.
Driven by him, Anluo and Prince began to run non-stop, actively looking for shot opportunities; inside Alex and Tony cooperated with them to make pick-and-roll screens, and then went down the air cut or Reverse run to catch the ball and shoot.
The game went very fast, especially, they seemed to be reluctant to waste time on offense. As for defense, it's better to have patience on offense!
At the end of the first half: 35, 10 points ahead of the opponent.
This is because UNLV's main small forward scored 7 points in the last three minutes to catch up. Otherwise the game will be spent again.
During the intermission, Anluo and Holiday sat back on the floor on the sidelines, chatting and laughing. But if they feel that they are happy that the team is about to win, then they are wrong!
Their eyes are all on the girls on the cheerleading team, and the topics they talk about are naturally related to them. Americans are not so reserved, they are very pure in this matter. Maybe people in their forties will become more reserved after years of precipitation. But these college students who have just grown up are quite straightforward.
Alex was bragging about how good he was, and got into that academy girl again, what kind of body she was, etc.
Holiday is not far behind, he is quite popular here, and many girls like him.
Even Tony Parker, the guy Anluo has always thought of being honest, has a lot of experience.
Only An Luo, cultural differences made him feel disgusted with the behavior of these guys, but he couldn't refute it. Even the cheerleader girl with perfect eyesight, An Luo felt bad. He still likes Tang Xiaoru. Unfortunately, she did not watch the game today.
In the second half, An Luo unexpectedly got a lot of game time. Alford may feel that Holiday and Alex are too tired, so Anro, Prince and Tony, plus two substitutes from the bench, played most of the quarter. Holiday, on the sidelines, observes the problem of the team's offense~EbookFREE.me~Of course, this is what Alford requested.
Without Holiday, An Luo is very uncomfortable. What's more uncomfortable is that he played the first position, and Prince returned to the second position.
An Luo, who was rushing to the front with the ball, couldn't help but feel happy: This time the point guard is really not passing the ball!
The opposing defensive player followed closely. He knew An Luo, so naturally he wouldn't give him space to shoot three-pointers.
However, An Luo does not only play without the ball. He dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, then suddenly started, ready to break from the front right. The opponent reacted quickly and immediately followed, but after An Luo took two steps, he turned around sharply, stepped away from the defender, and took off. Under the action of inertia, the body leaned forward obliquely.
"Huh..."
The sound of a two-point pocket is no different from a three-pointer! But there was even more enthusiastic cheers.
Many people cast a three-pointer and everyone will cheer for him. But for An Luo, the opposite is true. Look at his three-pointer a lot, and suddenly a mid-range one makes the eyes shine. What's more, his backward jumper is very beautiful.
