Vol 2 Chapter 58: Watch the fire from across the bank


   After winning the game, Pali Stadium fell into a carnival. Although they have only taken the first step, it is a good start. Moreover, the demonstrated strength gives everyone a bottom line.
   After the game, Alford and An Luo attended the press conference.
   An Luo sat in the speech table and looked at the scene. He found that there were obviously more journalists participating this time than before. But after another thought, this is a national championship after all, and it is normal for a large number of people to come.
   Therefore, this press conference lasted longer. Alford this time is no longer as cautiously and sternly as in the regular season. He smiled happily at the press conference. It can be seen that he is really satisfied with this game.
   "Coach Steve, what do you think of this victory?"
"Asheville is an excellent team, but we performed better in this game. Our players played very well, and every player performed his duties on the court. Especially Ann, he played both offense and defense. The performance is very good. Of course, the victory of this game is not the result of Ann alone, but the result of the hard work of the whole team."
   "How did you help the players deal with Asheville's defensive strategy against you? We saw that at the beginning of the game, it was a little difficult to play."
  "In fact, we didn't make any special arrangements. I just kept emphasizing that they should play at their own pace and play their own characteristics and aggressiveness. Fortunately, they did it!"
  ……
  "Ann, how do you feel after playing this game? How does the "March Madness" game differ from the regular season?"
"In March, the intensity of the game increased a lot. The confrontation became very fierce. In the game, scoring was much more difficult than before. Everyone put a lot of energy on the defensive end, and it was very tough. Of course, The same is true for us. To win the game, defense is also very important. Just like today, we used defense to reduce the opponent’s shooting percentage and caused the opponent’s errors. This is the key to our winning the game."
   "Ann, we found that you have strengthened your mid-range shots from the start of the regional tournament. Does this have any connection with your drop in three-pointers?"
"Oh? This is a very interesting question. However, I have not paid attention to this issue at all. The reason why I strengthen my mid-range shots is only because I don't have a good chance to shoot three pointers. You all know that, now everyone They are watching me very closely! It's so hard to shoot three pointers!"
  ……
   is a team that advanced to the top 32 earlier.
   Their opponents are the winners of the University of Arizona and the University of Connecticut. Although the University of Arizona ranks above Connecticut, most people are still optimistic about the latter. Not everyone is optimistic about the University of Arizona.
   But there is no absolute thing in basketball games. Maybe Arizona can advance to the top 32.
   On March 19, at the home court of the University of Arizona, the seventh game of the NCAA West Division officially started.
   After the opening, the potential freshman Alonzo Trier of the University of Arizona scored the first goal. He suddenly shot a cold arrow outside the three-point line, hitting a three-pointer. Then, Connecticut's Daniel Hamilton's layup was cleanly covered by the Arizona center. And the basketball was caught in his arms by Arizona forward Ryan Anderson, and then a quarterback passed the ball and assisted his teammate to make a layup.
  As soon as the game opened, Arizona took the lead and beat Connecticut 5:0.
   But Connecticut quickly found the state of the game. Power center Amida Brema scored a jumper and opened the scoring for Connecticut. Subsequently, Sterling Gibbs hit the open three-pointer at a 45-degree angle, approaching the score.
   In the next 10 minutes, the scores of the two sides rose alternately, and the difference between the two teams has been within 5 points. It was not until Alonzo Trier and Gabe York hit consecutive three-pointers that they were able to open the score. At the end of the first half, the University of Arizona led by 9 points.
   It seems that most of the opponents are the University of Arizona. Everyone was slightly disappointed. Although the University of Arizona is also not a threat to the present. But they prefer to meet Connecticut.
   In the second half of the game, both sides strengthened their defense. In two minutes, neither team scored, the players frequently hit the iron, and the offensive efficiency was very low.
   In the end, it was Amida Brima who broke the scoring drought for Connecticut. He has a height advantage in the paint. So Connecticut immediately moved the offense inward and achieved good results.
   The game lasted for about 10 minutes, and the difference between the two sides has always been stable.
   But after Sterling Gibbs made two consecutive three-pointers to help the University of Connecticut equalize, the situation changed.
   The University of Arizona seems to be suddenly cut off. The outside line lost the front sight, and the inside line couldn't get in either.
   An Luo shook his head~EbookFREE.me~ This game is basically over.
   Arizona shot too high in the first half. Of course, it's not that a high hit rate is bad, it's okay if you want to be high throughout the game. In a situation like them that is suddenly higher than normal, once the front sight is lost, the contrast between the front and rear will make the players at a loss. Thus losing the rhythm of the game, and then losing the game.
   Although in the last few minutes, Arizona tried to score inside. But Connecticut's defense has done a good job. They decisively shrunk the line of defense and stifled the opponent's counterattack.
   In the end, the University of Connecticut turned away and won the game, and went up to the top 32.
   With the end of this game, the next round of opponents will be released. As most people would judge, Connecticut became a stumbling block to the Sweet Sixteen.
  The people who watched the live broadcast together were quite satisfied with the result. Although it seems that the University of Arizona is weaker, it may not be easier than Connecticut. After all, everyone is a team in the same league, and they have played against each other twice in the regular season. There is nothing to hide, and no tricks. Can only fight head-on.
   It will be better if you change to a team from another division, perhaps because the opponent is not familiar with it. With Anluo’s super offensive firepower and overall strong defense, it may be easier to win.
   Alford did not want to see his team fight all the way. He also wanted to let his players retain some strength and play against the strong team behind.
   Of course, for An Luo, it doesn't matter who the opponent is. He thinks they are quite strong anyway.
   But, stronger.
