Vol 2 Chapter 64: Halftime draw

() The problem with the ball was still in Holiday. He didn't change defense in the first time, which caused the opponent to appear open and easily hit the three-pointer.
He also understood that he reached out to An Luo and others, indicating that the ball was his problem. An Luo patted his in the past, it was just a ball, and he didn't want to blame his teammates.
Alex made the baseline ball and Holiday pushed forward quickly.
After halftime, he stretched out his hand and gestured to his teammates to move according to the tactics. It is a shame to be beaten in front of me in a way I am good at, and I must return one.
Compared with excellent scoring ability, Josh Hart's defensive talent is relatively poor. Although he had been staring at An Luo, he didn't give An Luo the oppressive feeling.
With Jock and Tony's double screen, An Luo ran back to the left corner, and Alex, after the screen, received Holiday's pass and went straight down and hit the basket. His actions draw the defender's attention to himself. Created an opportunity for An Luo in the bottom corner.
Alex is really fighting. He finished the layup against Villanova and then threw the ball to the bottom corner. If it is slower, the basketball will be shot down by the opponent.
After receiving the ball, An Luo still has time to adjust his position. He patted the ball, then took a jump shot. Hart, who was closest to him, couldn't react, and could only watch An Luo throw the ball.
"Huh!"
The basketball hits the rim accurately!
At his home court, Villanova responded in the way he does best.
There was a huge cheer on the scene, louder than the boos just now.
An Luo, who made a three-pointer, quickly returned to defense. In this game, defense is the starting point. Alford arranged a 3-2 zone defense, and the position is relatively high. Anluo, Holiday and Alex are located near the three-point line, and Tony and Jock guard the inside. This kind of defense can effectively limit the opponent's mid- and long-range shooting; destroy the opponent's outside pass and receive, especially to prevent the ball from easily passing into the hands of forward players on both wings. Create opportunities for stealing and stealing the ball to play fast and counterattack.
This defensive strategy is very effective against Villanova's outside shooters.
The basketball was passed back and forth in the hands of Hart and Acidia Kono several times, but there was no good opportunity to shoot. When the offensive time is approaching, Hart can barely make a shot.
The ball was naturally not scored, and the rebound was grabbed by Jock. He and Tony Parker are now getting better and better, one gear, one grab, and it's time-tested.
Choker Goroman, who got the rebound, immediately found Holiday, and the ball should be handed to the point guard. The latter made a long pass and delivered the ball accurately to An Luo who had already crossed the center line. This is the sharpest offensive method. An Luo's position allows him to reach his range in the shortest time, and then score with a perverted three-pointer.
Of course, sometimes An Luo will rush directly to the basket and then dunk and enjoy it. It's just that his postures are a bit ugly, but the audience is very happy.
But this time he didn't. After receiving the ball two steps close to the three-point line, and then directly take off and shoot. After shooting, he didn't run back arrogantly, but rushed to the basket with the basketball.
An Luo feels that his shooting rhythm is not very good this time, so to be on the safe side, he still protects his rebounds.
"boom……"
The basketball bounced twice on the hoop and fell into the net bag.
Transport balloons!
But a goal is a good goal!
An Luo held the basketball and kissed the referee with a look of disgust.
He once watched a movie in which it was said that people have to cultivate relationships with Mahjong in order to get the cards they want. An Luo feels that he may also need to cultivate relationships with basketball before he can enter.
6:3, two three-pointers, slightly dominated the game.
Switching to Villanova's offense again, they accelerated the attack this time. Their inside player pulled to a high post to screen for outside players, and then broke through to score.
This is a feasible way. Breaking the defense is usually done with this sudden score. The defender and the inside player pick and roll and then attract the assisting defender to divide the ball to the outside line. The outside line transfers the ball faster, usually the weak side has a three-point chance.
The requirements for players are relatively high. The pick-and-roll cooperation must be skillful, and the ball must be decisive; the players who receive the ball from the outside must make quick and steady shots. The key is to make a goal.
Villanova's scoring tactics are very good, under the defense, he can still play opportunities.
Especially Josh Hart, his impact is still very strong, and the pick and roll with Chris Jenkins is very skilled. And Villanova's shooters are really accurate. Jenkins can still score against the defense that Alex covered his face.
But the performance is not bad, the offensive end plays more smoothly than the opponent. On the defensive end, the players were also very fast in assisting defense. They were able to quickly fill up ~ EbookFREE.me ~ ten minutes before the first half, the two sides played very fiercely. You are one by one, and the score is very tight.
But as Villanova adapted to the zone defense, the situation of the game became a bit unfavorable. Especially the position of the bottom corners on both sides is a weak point in the defensive system. Villanova used this to pin down the defensive attention, resulting in many shot opportunities.
Alford was very cautious. After he discovered the problem, he immediately called a timeout. Adjusted the defensive strategy.
In the second half, no zone defense was played, and man-to-man defense was changed. Use the elite single defense ability of Anluo and others to limit the opponent's outside shots. In fact, this is no longer a strategy. It is to rely solely on personal ability to play the game.
But the effect is not bad. Especially Hart, after being committed an offensive foul by An Luo, went to rest. Because before that, he had fouled twice.
Without Hart, Villanova continued to compete with Acidiacono.
This person is also a powerful character, and An Luo feels that his personal ability is not below Hart at all. Under Holiday's defense, he shot in and out and scored consecutively. In the final minutes of the first half, scored 12 of the team's 18 points.
The best thing is that Villanova did not make their kind of perverted three-pointers from start to finish. But they themselves have not been greatly affected. Especially An Luo, the opponent's defense can't limit him at all.
But their biggest problem is that the other players have not finished playing. Of course, it was much better than the last game. People like Holiday and Alex, after strengthening the offense at the basket and reducing the outside shooting, still scored some points.
In the end, under the superb performance of Asidia Kono, the two sides shook hands in the first half.
