Chapter 40 Defeat UNLV, the undefeated team!(1/2)
After Greg Anthony fell, he immediately got up again. David Butler caught the basketball that fell from the net, immediately returned to the three-point line, and drove the ball into Greg Anthony's hands.
Greg made a long pass from the quarterback and passed it to Larry Johnson who was running upfield. Mom dunked and scored!
Jeff Brown was one step slower than him, and by the time he ran to the basket, Larry Johnson had already finished dunking. However, he was not upset about it. Instead, like UNLV, he caught the ball, retreated to the baseline, and kicked off...
As if they had discussed it, the two teams started a fast break at the same time!
The competition event changed from basketball to return running. Fortunately, a ball kept flying around to prove that the two teams were still playing basketball...
The shooting percentages of the two teams have dropped visibly due to the accelerated pace and the loss of physical strength, but the speed of the score increase has not slowed down. Although the shooting percentage has dropped, the number of rounds has increased!
This kind of game rhythm is destined to drain the players' physical strength faster, whether it is the Huskies or UNLV.
Players can only get a negligible rest time between fouls and free throws, and they are running non-stop at other times!
Just 6 minutes passed, and Lu Feng saw that the faces of the Huskies teammates were covered with sweat... but UNLV on the opposite side was not much better!
Larry Johnson stormed to the basket and got two free throws, but missed both shots. The rebound was grabbed by Jeff Brown, and he threw the ball high into the court without even thinking...
Jeff Brown's long pass was terrible and the ball almost went out of bounds, but luckily Lu Feng chased it back and passed the ball backhand to Eldridge for an assist of 1!
Before UNLV could kick off, coach Jerry Tarkanian called a timeout in a panic!
"Larry, what's going on? Can you still hold on?"
Jerry Tarkanian is very aware of the strength of his disciples. Although Larry Johnson's mid-range shot is unstable, his free throws are never bad!
Missing two free throws is a signal that Larry Johnson is low on energy. Coach Jerry must call a timeout to let him take a breath.
In addition, the same goes for huskies. The crazy running and stopping makes people feel nauseous and makes them want to vomit. Once they sit on the chair, they don’t want to get up again...
Lu Feng noticed that after Eldridge sat down, his calf muscles had been shaking. Eldridge had a serious expression on his face, obviously controlling something.
"ER, you take a rest next!"
Lu Feng reminded Lynn Nance: Eldridge needs to rest, his legs are dying.
Compared with offense, defense consumes energy faster, and Eldridge has obviously reached his limit!
Lynn Nance looked at Eldridge and saw something was wrong with him at a glance, and ordered: "ER, next you rest, then Quentin fills in at No. 3, Brent, you go and play No. 2
Bit!"
"Coach, I..."
Lu Feng reached out and patted Eldridge on the shoulder to stop him.
"Don't worry, I'm still here, they can't win!"
I looked up at the score - 81:70!
UNLV has no chance because...
"Doug, you're up next!"
The combined 6 minutes of midfield and second half were enough for Doug Meekins to have a good rest. Looking at UNLV's Larry Johnson, the two were in very different states.
As soon as the timeout came back, Larry Johnson was in trouble. His strength was completely unable to suppress the rested Doug Meekins and he was unable to grab the position.
To make matters worse, Lu Feng got in front of Anderson Hunt!
Even if Eldridge is off the court, Anderson still won't get a good shot!
Although Lu Feng's defensive skills are not as sophisticated as Eldridge's, he can definitely use his physical fitness and wingspan to make up for the gap between the two!
As long as Anderson has the ball, Lu Feng will go around even if he calls for a screen. When Lu Feng can't go around, someone will switch defenses. The NCAA without illegal defense has no restrictions on switching defenses.
If UNLV chooses to let Larry Johnson play hard, his efficiency will definitely decrease, and Doug Meekins' confrontation will make him suffer!
The only way UNLV can break the game is if UNLV can shoot the other three points, but today they don't have such good luck. They have little shooting practice and have a bad feel, which will only make it more and more difficult.
In the 4 minutes before the commercial pause, the two teams staged a blacksmith battle!
The scene looked very intense, with ten people running, catching and shooting, but the shooting percentage was...
Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!
91:78...The Huskies' lead increased to 13 points!
The Huskies' shooting touch was as bad as UNLV's, and they couldn't make a shot for a long time, but at least they had two advantageous matchups in Lu Feng and Jeff Brown. Lu Feng's breakthrough throws and Jeff Brown's low-post singles were all good.
It can also ensure a certain efficiency.
"The people at UNLV are crazy. They are so behind and continue to fight, Fuck!"
After Jeff Brown sat down, he breathlessly cursed. He had never had such a high-intensity game before. The intensity of the game between the two teams was completely abnormal. UNLV was completely fighting hard and fighting for willpower. He was tired of it.
Just scold him!
"Jeff, come down and rest for a while. If UNLV catches up, we can catch up again!"
Lynn Nance took Jeff Brown's condition into consideration and took him off to rest.
The situation on the court does not matter with or without Jeff Brown. What the Huskies need now is not to open up the score, but to hold on to the current lead.
The focus is on defending Doug Meekins and Anderson Hunter. What needs to stay on the court more is Lu Feng and Doug Meekins.
Position 5 only needs to be replaced with a tool man who can block the position. The lack of Jeff Brown's offensive firepower will not have much impact!
Such a physically demanding game does not require too many tactics. The timeout is just to take a rest and press your legs...
"The Huskies still seem to be the stronger one. Although the efficiency has dropped, UNLV is in worse shape and the Huskies' lead is getting bigger and bigger... This is bad news for UNLV. There are only ten minutes left, but
They still have no hope!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"The Huskies' shooting defense strategy caused big trouble for UNLV. UNLV's shooting was terrible today. They don't look like a strong team at all!"
"Obviously, the Huskies are the better prepared team. UNLV has exposed their biggest weakness. Anyone who has watched the game knows that the only thing they can do to deal with UNLV is to fight in the last few months.
It’s time to try your best to improve your shooting, otherwise UNLV won’t be able to go very far in March Madness!”
……
In the last half of the quarter, Lu Feng came on the court and Greg Anthony stood behind the three-point line to defend. This is UNLV's defensive strategy, focusing on defensive breakthroughs!
Even for Lu Feng, his "absolute ball feel" cannot leave him feeling unaffected at all...
Lu Feng's efficiency in UNLV's game is average. He has only hit 15 goals in 32 shots so far, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 39 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.
Although the statistics are luxurious, Lu Feng's shooting percentage is not even close to the average.
However, when such a vacancy appeared in front of him, it was impossible for Lu Feng not to vote - be sure, it’s a happy ending!
Counting the ball just now, Lu Feng's three-point shooting percentage has become 4 of 10, but he still does not intend to change. As long as he is given a chance, he will resolutely shoot three-pointers. Only three-pointers will disrupt UNLV's success.
Defense makes it easier for the Huskies and others!
On the next shot, Lu Feng made another three-pointer. He felt very good about this shot, but... Dang!
4 of 11 three-pointers...
"Luck's state has experienced some fluctuations. What he has to do at this time is not to shoot three-pointers. No one will choose to use three-pointers to solve the problem when his physical strength has dropped so much. UNLV's opportunity is here!"
……
Because of Lu Feng's two three-pointers, UNLV succeeded in counterattacking twice, and the point difference was close to 9 points!
When Lu Feng dribbled the ball through half court again, there were fierce boos.
"Hurry up, you yellow monkey coward, this is all you can do!"
"You are a coward, fake, everything is fake, UNLV is the real warrior!"
"Vote!Vote!Vote!"
Lu Feng listened to the boos in his ears, and without hesitation, he took another three-point shot - Wow!
Lu Feng didn't have an arrogant expression, he just smiled coldly, stared at Greg Anthony with cold eyes, and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, my feeling... it's back!"
Greg Anthony did not react. With Lu Feng's shooting ability, it is not surprising that he scored a three-pointer, and he did not intend to change his defensive method.
Then, on the next ball, UNLV made a shot and Lu Feng received the pass and made a fast break three-pointer - oh, there it is again!
Lu Feng held up three fingers and stood there, while a Husky team member jumped on him!
Lu Feng looked up and looked at the score difference, and it was back to 15 points...
"I said, you have no chance!"
This time, Lu Feng no longer suppressed his voice and shouted loudly!
The point difference returned to 15 points, and everyone at UNLV collapsed. They worked hard to get back the point difference, but Lu Feng only used two three-pointers to widen the point difference again...
UNLV, whose morale was affected, still failed to score the next shot. Compared to Lu Feng, Anderson Hunter was the one who was really affected. His physical strength gauge was running dry!
Lu Feng came to the three-point line again. This time Greg Anthony hesitated and decided to step forward to defend. He knew that if Lu Feng made another shot, UNLV would be finished!
When Lu Feng saw Greg Anthony coming up, he changed direction and took a step forward!
Greg Anthony concentrated, always alert to Lu Feng's breakthrough, and immediately took a step back...
However, at the moment he took a step back, Lu Feng made a back move and stepped back, and then retreated to the three-point line... Unexpectedly, Greg Anthony hurriedly stretched out his hand, shifted his center of gravity, and pounced on the dog!
