Chapter 297 The Strength of the NCAA
Damian and Smith have a jump ball in the middle circle. It is difficult to predict the result of the jump ball, and both of them may win it.
This scene made Mu Chenfeng think of Chen Xin. During the three years in No. 5 Middle School, Chen Xin only missed [-] jumps. In these three games, he won one and lost four.
Four defeats caused Sanzhong to lose three championships, namely an autumn cup final, a winter cup semi-final, and a national competition semi-final.
The brief flashback made Mu Chenfeng fall into deep thinking. He even thought that if he did not choose to come to the United States, but directly entered a university in China, he would not be in such a desperate situation.
If he is in China, he must be the core of the team, killing all sides on the court.
He also received special recruitment invitations from prestigious domestic universities, but Mu Chenfeng was determined to go to the United States at that time, so he rejected all domestic invitations and chose to bring his "talent" to Los Angeles.
However, Los Angeles does not seem to need his "talent".
Mu Chenfeng was sitting on the bench, his eyes were dull. Although his eyes were looking ahead, there was no light in his eyes.
The game started and the basketball was lifted into the air. The two left the ground at the same time and flew towards the basketball. They touched the basketball at the same time. Damian's contact area was slightly larger, and he controlled the direction of the basketball's flight.
Mu Chenfeng's mood also recovered with this wonderful jump ball. He had never seen the opening of an NCAA game with his own eyes, but he did not expect it to be so intense. When the basketball was in the live ball, the players of the two teams immediately acted. It seemed chaotic, but it was orderly. Some people were responsible for fighting and others were responsible for covering. This rarely happened in domestic competitions, which shows how well-trained the NCAA team is.
From the moment they stepped on the court, they resolutely implemented tactics.
Surprisingly, this performance is not one team, but both teams, obviously this is affected by the basketball environment.
Oscar gave the ball to the point guard, and he started to move around, playing off the ball.
Being able to trust his teammates so much, Oscar has shown a natural leadership.
The players started to run, and the Kentucky players accurately found their opponents and put pressure on them.
This is the first time for Felix to participate in the NCAA game. Compared with the old players, he has not adapted to the rhythm of the game. When running, he often runs heavily with his teammates, which has never happened in normal training.
He was so nervous that even his opponents could feel it.
"It seems that we were underestimated." Gatlin said, "We sent rookies to compete with us."
"Aren't you the same?" Oscar glanced at Larry Bell, who was also a freshman.
"No, he's a monster!" From Gatlin's name to Larry Bell, he roughly guessed his ability. UCLA also conducted a special analysis on Bell before the game, and the conclusion was only to limit him as much as possible. It is almost impossible to completely hold him in the paint.
"No wonder you accepted our challenge so happily." The University of Kentucky has always been in a semi-closed training state, and rarely played this kind of exchange game with other schools. The purpose is self-evident, just to hide their strength, and they did it. Their tactics really caused headaches for their opponents.
Therefore, UCLA's invitation to Kentucky this time was just to give it a try, but they agreed without even thinking about it.
Kentucky also wants to test the quality of the team by accepting the match, and wants to see whether Gatlin and Bell can produce a good chemical reaction in front of a strong team.
It happened that UCLA sent out an invitation letter, and Kentucky naturally accepted it.
The away game is also a request from Kentucky to maximize the difficulty of the game.
At the beginning of the game, Kentucky showed the victorious momentum, running and entangled with the opponent at all costs, and did not give the opponent a chance to catch the ball easily.
Leo has no chance to pass the ball at all. As long as he dribbles on the spot, he can't stop the ball easily at this time.
Fortunately, Leo's ball control level is excellent, and he didn't lose the ball under the interference of the opponent. Oscar pulled away from the defender and stepped forward to ask for the ball. Leo immediately sent the ball when he saw his figure.
Snapped!
Gatlin suddenly came out from between the two, intercepted the ball from the middle, kept the ball, and took advantage of the trend. Oscar quickly started to chase back. The speed was very fast, and gradually narrowed the gap with Gatlin.
Entering the restricted area, Gatlin directly attacked the basket with three big steps, Oscar chased back and successfully interfered with the shot.
Beep~ Because the speed was too fast, everything happened in the blink of an eye. The referee couldn’t tell who the basketball hit in the end, so he applied for a video return defense, and finally decided that the basketball hit Gatlin. The ball belongs to UCLA.
Mu Chenfeng was stunned by just one opening. The pace of the game was very fast. Both sides completed an attack and a defense, but the time only passed 20 seconds.
"Is this the intensity of the NCAA?" The teammate next to him also had the same expression of astonishment, "I really can't do this intensity." After seeing the real live game, some players retreated and began to doubt that their level could adapt to such a tight game rhythm.
"Don't worry, this is just the beginning. Both sides have good physical strength at the beginning, and it's normal to attack fast. After a while, the physical strength will drop, and the rhythm will naturally slow down." Someone comforted him, comforting his teammates and comforting himself at the same time.
The old players on the bench shook their heads, "There will be no problem with their physical fitness, they can maintain this intensity for a whole game."
The whole game!The first and second halves are 20 minutes each, with a 15-minute break in between.
To say that they can sustain the high intensity of the whole game is incredible. Humans will always get tired, unless it is a machine.
"They are no different from machines." Luke said slowly.
Lu Ke's explanation made Mu Chenfeng's interest even stronger. The game lasted 2 minutes, and the two sides were still 0:0. Both teams focused on defense at the beginning. Although the score was not beautiful, the rhythm of the game did not weaken at all compared to the beginning. They have maintained this intensity for 2 minutes, and there is no sign of weakening.
Both teams are also looking forward to seeing which team can break the scoring shortage first.
Gatlin unhurriedly passed the ball to Larry Bell, "Mission Accomplished", and turned back to defend.
"You are too weak!" Larry Bell pushed away two UCLA inside players and forcibly jumped up, using his strength to bounce the defense away.
"This guy is so strong to the body!" It was just a "light" touch, as if touching an iron plate, and he couldn't resist at all.
