Chapter 7 Jim Harrick and his UCLA

After UCLA entered the stadium, deafening cheers came from the stadium.

After a round of introductions, Lynn Nance said loudly: "Remember, show your momentum when you enter!"

In the arena, the announcer's voice came: "Next, here are the University of Washington Huskies from Seattle!"

Lu Feng was originally cheering himself up in his mind, but after hearing the explanation, he couldn't hold back any longer.

To his ears, what the announcer had just said was: "Washington Huskies!"

He seems to know why the Huskies will change the translation to Huskies in China in the future.

Others, including Lynn Nance, saw that Lu Feng was still laughing before going on the field, and couldn't help but sigh: This mentality is really good...

Lu Feng was the first to appear, and Eldridge came last.

As soon as he entered the arena, Lu Feng immediately noticed three people with obviously different styles from the others in the arena.

The three of them wore suits and ties, held microphones, and talked and sang.

These three are NBC's classic commentary team-Matt Guokas, Marv Albert and Bill Walton.

The three are most famous for their live commentary on the Bulls' six NBA Finals games.

However, at this time, the NBA was still in the era of CBS. Before NBC signed a broadcast contract with the NBA, it was not as good as CBS, or even its little brother ABC.

At this time, NBC was eager for change and came up with a novel commentary format of live commentary. Later, it brought this style to the NBA and was a great success. Later, ESPN and TNT also imitated and continued the NBC style at this time.

"Wow, guess what I found, there is actually a Chinese on the Huskies team! Let me see, Fulu, a 16-year-old international student, Ma Fu, can you imagine what it is like for Chinese people to play basketball?" Gu Ao

Cass took the player information and said with surprise.

"First of all, I need to say that his correct name should be Lu Feng. Chinese people would put their last name in the front and their first name in the back. But what surprised me even more was his physical test report!"

Albert read Lu Feng's physical test report quickly, and then said in surprise: "God, the person who wrote this report must be crazy. Looking at this report, he looks like a smaller Michael Jordan!"

Since 1988, Jordan has been the absolute traffic code in the basketball world, and this situation has continued until 30 years later.

Today's Jordan, although he has not yet won his first career championship, is already the number one player in the NBA in the eyes of many people.

In fact, there has been such a call since Jordan averaged 45+5+5 in the first round of the 1988 playoffs.

In this year's 1989 playoffs, Jordan averaged 39.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 3 steals in the first round, and also contributed to the famous scene "The shot!".

In the second round, he averaged 35.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 2.5 steals per game.

In the third round, facing the tough defense of the Pistons, he still averaged 29.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2 steals per game.

In this year's NBA finals, the Pistons defeated the Trail Blazers 4-1 to win the championship. In the Eastern Conference finals, the Pistons fiercely dragged Jordan down to the ground while he was jumping in the air.

In the last game of this year's Eastern Conference Finals, Jordan was thrown to the ground again and again, but surprisingly only got 5 free throws!

There was even one time when he was hit hard from behind and lay on the ground for two minutes before he staggered up. As a result, the referee didn't even call a foul on the ball!

But despite this, Jordan still lamely scored 31 of the Bulls' 74 points in the last game!

As the second-in-command, Pippen performed an eye-catching performance of 1-for-10 and only 2 points.

It was also because the Pistons used their home court advantage to play too ugly in the last game of this year's Eastern Conference Finals that David Stern decided to introduce the flagrant foul rule.

Otherwise, Jordan would never have won 6 championships, because he would never have been able to play at that time!

The game officially begins and players from both sides enter the field.

In the center of the court, Jeff Brown and Don McLean compete for the ball.

The Huskies have the same advantage against UCLA, that is, their biggest weakness will not be exposed.

There is no doubt that the Huskies' biggest weakness is their height!

Don McLean is only 2.08 meters tall, only 2cm taller than Jeff Brown.

Is it strange that UCLA, as a wealthy club, has a center that is only 2.08 meters tall?

The reason is very simple, because Don McLean is not a center at all, and UCLA does not have a center, they are all guards and forwards!

Unlike the NBA, which is dominated by players, the NCAA is definitely a league dominated by coaches, now and in the future.

In the NCAA, basketball coaches can experiment with their own basketball theories as they please.

Many fans know that Pat Riley predicted in the 1990s: In the future, the positions on the basketball court should be blurred. A lineup of five strikers about two meters tall will be the ultimate lineup in basketball.

But Riley is not the first person to think this way. In the NCAA, coaches have experimented with small-ball lineups, five-peak lineups, and even the top five of death chosen by fans who like to play 2K.

Unlike Lynn Nance, UCLA coach Jim Harrick's understanding of basketball was truly ahead of its time.

Since 1979, he has never recruited a center player and has been playing the five forwards and the death five.

It is a pity that Jim Harrick, who was born in 1938, chose to retire in 2003 because of his age and physical health. He left the basketball world and was unable to see with his own eyes the day in the future 10 years later when his basketball philosophy would shine.

After Don McLean got the ball, he showed a very Jim Harlick-style basketball from the first ball.

After UCLA kicked off, everyone ran and quickly started the offense. One person organized, two ran, and two were responsible for the pick-and-roll.

Forward Tracy Murray got the ball outside the three-point line after a pick-and-roll and took a shot!

Whoosh!

Tracy Murray, the 18th overall pick in 1992, is a 2.01 meter 3D small forward. In the NBA, he also had a 40% three-point shooting rate.

From kick-off to goal, it only takes 5 seconds!

For the second ball, Lu Feng dribbled to the outside of the three-point line. After picking and rolling with Eldridge on the outside to attract a double team, he passed the ball to Eldridge.

The moment Eldridge received the ball, Don McLean quickly covered up the defense. Eldridge planned to pass the ball to Jeff Brown who was cutting inside, but found that UCLA quickly completed a zone defense transition, and No. 4 went inside to defend the 5

Position No. 3 switches to position No. 4, and position No. 2 switches to position No. 3.

Eldridge hesitated and decided to rely on mismatch to break through Don McLean.

But as soon as they took a step inside the three-point line, UCLA switched defense again, switching to Eldridge at position 3, and Don McLean at position 5 to Doug Meekins at position 4.

Helpless, the Huskies could only run without the ball again. After multiple ball possession changes, they still could not get out of the open space. When the 35-second violation was approaching, the ball finally fell into the hands of rough guy Doug Meekins.

His ability to hit the ball was not good, and he didn't give it a shot for a long time. Seeing that the time was almost up, he had no choice but to force a mid-range shot.

The key to why Brother Rough is Brother Rough lies in the word "rough".

Doug Meekins shot this ball very well, his teammates saw it very well, and the basket was also...

I can't feel the rim at all. It's so funny. I don't even touch it. I don't even touch the rim!

Tracy Murray received the ball under the basket and did not pass it. Instead, he dribbled the ball and started a counterattack fast break.

All the way down to the three-point line, he did not choose to play by himself, but passed the ball behind his head to DeMcGins, who had just reached the three-point line. The opponent did not make any adjustments when receiving the ball, and the fast break

Counterattack three-point shot——Whoosh!

Another attack completed within 5 seconds, UCLA led the Huskies 6:0 at the beginning!

Counterattack fast breaks, pick-and-roll three-pointers, unlimited defense changes... Lu Feng couldn't help but wonder, is it really 1989?
Chapter completed!
