Vol 2 Chapter 14: Next opponent

　　 When everyone thought they would win the second game of the season cleanly, the performance of California State Polytechnic University surprised everyone.
　　 On this day, the Pali Stadium in Los Angeles, California is also crowded. People have not reduced their enthusiasm for basketball because they need to rest on weekends. Many people are even out of the family. They hope their children will feel this strong competitive spirit, and they hope they can like this school. The inheritance of the family continues slowly.
　　 There is no doubt that a game did not change Alford's mind. He was still very cautious, and he still sent in those so-called steady old players.
　　 Of course, this is not a problem. It is also a smart way to send this lineup with high fault tolerance to test the opponent's fineness. It's a pity that sometimes it makes oneself passive. After all, being prudent can sometimes be understood as sticking to the rules and not enterprising.
　　 In this game, Alford made an empirical error and was caught off guard.
As soon as 　　 came up, he still pushed forward slowly, and then fought the battle patiently. With the rich experience of the players, the start was smooth. But unexpectedly, California State Polytechnic made a change immediately after adapting to their rhythm. Relying on the tenacious defense, he blocked many attacks in a row, and then quickly counterattacked to open the score. Alford's reaction was not too slow. After being successfully defended for the fourth time, he called a timeout.
　　 An Luo thought it was their turn to play, but in fact, they didn't. Of course, it is not completely unchanged, at least, Alford replaced Aaron Holiday.
"Listen to me, guys! Don’t you stop playing after a day’s rest? What about our defense? What about the fierce defense that we have always emphasized? You are like tourists visiting and watching them throw that ball Scoring! Scoring one after another!" He didn't growl loudly, but his voice was cold and hard, making the players afraid to look at him directly.
　　 "Aron, you will be responsible for organizing the offense later. Remember, you must control the rhythm in our own hands. Loya, you need to carefully observe how to help your teammates when the offense is not going well."
　　 "Kenna, if you stand under the basket like a wooden block again, I promise, the things you least want to see will happen later."
　　……
　　 Alford called every player on the court, pointed out their problems, and then told them how to play correctly. Finally, he took out the tactical board and quickly drew a few tactics.
　　 He always seemed to believe in the senior players so much that he still gave him a chance to play. An Luo was disappointed and continued to sit on the bench.
　　 But he believes that he must have a chance to play. After all, these people, An Luo felt that they were not capable.
　　 In fact, their performance is just as An Luo thought. The few who returned to the field, although they improved, did not meet Alford's expectations.
　　 With three minutes left in the first half, California State Polytechnic University put on their bench. Alford also waved his hand, replacing An Luo, Alex, and Prince.
　　 "Remember, your task is to grab points! Be sure to keep the difference within five points. Go!"
　　 got it! The pits dug by the main force will be filled in by substitutes! Where to find such a team and such a coach.
　　 It’s really amazing to have a tacit understanding of this thing. The same tactics, the same people are organizing offenses, and the friends around you are different, the effect is different.
　　Actually, Holiday was not doing well just now. Although he is very active, he is like a headless fly, desperately attacking the opponent's defense, but no one can help, only on his own. It's different now, he has helpers.
As soon as 　　 came up, he and Alex had a beautiful cooperation, which ignited the atmosphere of the scene. He received a pass from Prince at the top of the arc, and then passed the defender with a change of direction. Although the opponent's defense was very timely, they had to empty Alex. Of course Holiday saw it. There was no need to communicate. He directly threw the ball in the direction of the basket, and then it was Alex's business.
　　 The big guy from the other party was relieved, he thought Holiday was throwing it out. But before he turned around, there was a tsunami of cheers in the arena.
"Hey! Man, are you sure your coach didn't let you stare at me?" Alex, who fell on the ground, ran over and slapped Holiday, then walked past the big man, pretending to be surprised Asked.
　　 If one ball can't change the situation of the whole game, then another one.
　　 Turning his head, Alex gave the opponent's second position a big hat. It's the player who rushed into the interior and caused injuries in previous games ~EbookFREE.me~.
　　 Alex, who roared up to the sky, became a hero! In this attack and defense, he behaved like an ordinary superstar, which made An Luo envious.
　　 All the audience were shouting for him, some were even hysterical, and even An Luo heard those mantras beginning with F. It can be seen how passionate the audience is, without the initial listlessness.
　　 California State Polytechnic played the front court because Alex slapped the basketball out of the boundary. But there are still two seconds left, which is not enough for them to reorganize the attack. Barely missed the shot, the rebound was grabbed by Prince.
　　 An Luo almost started with Holiday, but the speed was not so fast. But at the moment, this is not a bad thing. Because the opponent's defender passed An Luo directly and ran towards Holiday, when the pass was passed to him, there was no one in front of him.
　　 leaving such a large open for the three-point shooter is the biggest mistake in the game.
　　 A three-pointer was accounted for, An Luo happily ran to the opponent's second position, ready to defend. He is now more and more fond of shooting from the three-point line, and the feeling of hitting the bull's eye thousands of miles away is no worse than dunking.
　　 For more than a minute, An Luo kept running on the court. Unfortunately, he did not receive the ball anymore. It's not that Holiday didn't pass the ball, and the opponent shifted the defensive focus to An Luo and emptied Prince.
　　 Since there is always a limit that cannot be held, then choose the most acceptable one! After all, no matter what the calculation is, it is better to lose two points than to lose three points.
　　 In this way, An Luo once again embodies his unparalleled lead role on the court. This is all about sacrificing oneself and fulfilling others. But for victory, it is worth it. Although he was very unhappy about it.
