In a basketball game, you can always see a lot of wonderful cooperation. The imagination of the players is endless, they can always show people unexpected things. For example, now Alex, his pass makes people feel bright.
Alex can attack on his own, although he is reluctant, but no one will question him.
Alford nodded. It seems that Alex quickly figured out what he should do as an organizer. Although he and other teammates have had this kind of cooperation before, but this time he has a different positioning of Alex in his heart and his requirements are naturally different.
Looking back, North Carolina's No. 1 Marcus Page steadily controlled the ball to the front court. He is also a senior player, with very mature skills and great control of the game. Facing Holiday's defense, he didn't panic at all. Bryce Johnson pulled to the top of the arc and made him a pick and roll. The quality was average, but it was enough for a player who is good at three-pointers.
Marcus Page is very confident and his shooting moves are very standard. At first glance, he knows he is a good player. Unfortunately, Goddess of Luck is not on North Carolina's side. This three-pointer failed to hit, and the Tony grabbed the defensive rebound on the head of North Carolina center Kennedy Meeks.
Since Alford changed his starting lineup, people don’t know what it means to be stable! Protecting the ball a little, Tony Parker threw the ball to An Luo who had already run through the midfield. North Carolina players are still desperately catching up.
The black big guy's pass was so bad, An Luo chased him for several steps before he got the ball. He originally wanted to come for a three-pointer, but now that the person is within the three-pointer, it is impossible to return, and time does not allow him to do so. Therefore, in the end, he could only end this offense with an ordinary layup.
When An Luo returned to defense, he turned his head and glanced at the basket, feeling a little regretful. This is not the first time he feels so sorry.
Of course, the audience does not feel sorry. This is a beautiful fast break, from the guy grabbing the rebound to An Luo layup, a total of less than 5 seconds. This speed is simply flying fast.
43: 39
The point difference between the two sides narrowed to 4 points, and the game began to become more intense.
In the next round, North Carolina's Marcus Page assisted Bryce Johnson in the pick-and-roll with a two-pointer to open the score again.
45:39
Not to be outdone, Alex rushed to the penalty area with the ball, and after an attempt to force the ball to the outside, An Luo ran out of the open space. The latter shot the sun and hit the first three-pointer in the second half.
45:42
The score difference is getting smaller and smaller.
The North Carolina coach discovered the change. He didn't expect Alford to let a tall forward to organize the offense. But he doesn't have a good way to deal with it now, this guy has too broad vision. It is not an easy task for this kind of organized power forward to prevent him from passing the ball. He can only hope that his players are actively fighting and causing some mistakes to the opponent.
It's no longer of much use to continue double-teaming Holiday now, but it will give the opponent a chance. So he hurriedly signaled to his players to keep an eye on their opponents and not let the opponent take the shot easily.
Holiday finally feels comfortable! After a whole game, he can finally enjoy the normal treatment.
Next, the two sides seemed to have entered a "scoring" link. Although the defensive strength of the two teams has not diminished, they performed very harmoniously and the success rate has also increased. You are one by one and I am very close.
This situation lasted until the last 3 minutes of the game. It's like a long-distance runner, finally reaching the final sprint stage.
After North Carolina striker Bryce Johnson once again hit the basket and scored two points, the score of the two sides became 71:70, only 1 point behind.
Alford called a timeout, which was his first timeout in the second half. He is not really satisfied with his team's defense during this time. It stands to reason that the defense should be more effective. He kept drawing tactics on the tactical board, and then told every player his requirements.
The same goes for the visiting team bench on the other side, and the North Carolina coach is also arranging quickly. Until now, they have never allowed the lead. If they fail in the last few minutes, it would be too shameful and I am sorry for the players' efforts.
After a timeout, An Luo, Holiday and Alex strengthened their defensive efforts in accordance with Alford's request. They began to make frequent physical contact with each other, and their movements became larger.
North Carolina players are a little uncomfortable. Especially Joel Berry, under Anlor's oppressive defense, directly dribbled the ball out of the sideline ~EbookFREE.me~ so angry that the North Carolina coach yelled from the sidelines, Anlor was too happy.
This time the mistake has provided an opportunity to overtake the score. Alford stood up, he wanted to say a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he held back. He wanted to see how his players would handle such a key ball.
An Luo sent a sideline kick, and Holiday took it to the front court steadily, and then made a gesture. After seeing it, Alex quickly mentioned the top of the arc and made a pick-and-roll gesture. Holiday took the cover of Alex to kill to the penalty area, but did not make a layup. After attracting part of the defensive power, he slid the ball to Alex. The latter made a false pass and threw the ball directly at An Luo who ran to the corner.
A very patient attack, Holiday and Alex did not rush to make a move, until An Luo appeared open.
Of course, An Luo did not disappoint them.
71: 73
took the lead for the first time.
"Defend! Don't miss people! Don't miss people!"
Alford couldn't help it this time, he shouted loudly to remind his players. Now that he is ahead, he cannot be chased back by the opponent.
An Luo followed Joel Berry, he didn't stick it too tightly. Alford asked to guard against Marcus Page. As for this man, as long as he doesn't break through.
Everyone was stared to death, and Marcus Page decided to do it himself. After continuous crotch dribble, he suddenly started to rush into the inside, and then rushed towards Alex.
Everyone thinks that he will shoot. It may be a jump shot or a European layup.
But Anlo didn't think so. He always wandered between Marcus Page and Joel Berry and Bryce Johnson. He thought Marcus Page would pass the ball.
