Even Alford himself was surprised at this point.

He originally won Love because of his three-point ability, and his ability to grab board positions is also a good added value.

But who would have thought that Love's personal low-post offense would be so good, and he could also cooperate with Zhang Jun tacitly. Especially after Love lost weight, the two high-post pick-and-rolls were extremely efficient.

As Zhang Jun took away two defenders, Love frequently scored in the interior and showed good efficiency. UCLA and the University of Washington finally became inseparable.

However, the University of Washington's belief in Zhang Jun's execution of double-team tactics is still very firm.

"Lefu, let go of the attack!"

Zhang Jun has no intention of forcefully taking over the offense at this time, but instead puts all his focus on opening up space and defense for his teammates.

He first made a steal and staged a one-stop dunk, and then blocked University of Washington giant Spencer Hoynes.

This block was like a thunderbolt, and the fans at the scene were amazed.

"Spencer Huoyins has the highest height of 218 CAA. Zhang Jun blocked the shot on top of his head. It really scared me to death."

"You don't know, just now I just felt a figure flying up and slapped Spencer Hoynes on the face, so hard that he almost had stars in his eyes."

"Spencer Hoynes probably never thought in his life that a forward and defender could cover him like this."

The first half of the game is over.

UCLA and the University of Washington tied 40:40.

"Love performed well in the first half, scoring 14 points and 6 rebounds on 7-of-12 shooting."

"But he failed to help the team open up the score. The situation on the field is still so anxious."

West Germany's concerns are not unreasonable. After all, this is a single-round elimination Parker XII League Championship.

As long as they lose this game, UCLA's efforts throughout the season will be in vain, and they can basically go home.

Therefore, it is very important to make a strong rebound in the second half of the game to open up the score.

In fact, Alford had been thinking about it for the entire half, and he frowned and was still puzzled.

"Just give me the ball."

Zhang Jun suddenly said after taking a sip of water on the bench.

Alford and Sid looked up at each other at the same time, somewhat confused.

You have been targeted like this, what else can you do?

Zhang Jun did not explain, but repeated again: "Give me the ball and I will solve everything."

The game continues in the second half.

UCLA goes on the offensive.

Different from the offensive method in the first half, Zhang Jun did not wait for Darren Collison to advance with the ball in the frontcourt, but took the initiative to come to the backcourt to participate in receiving the ball.

Although it is only such a small change, the offensive space in the frontcourt is almost stretched to the extreme.

At this time, Abaya serves in the backcourt, and Zhang Jun and Darren Collison receive the serve. If the University of Washington dares to double-team Zhang Jun, then they must leave four defenders in the backcourt. .

In this way, UCLA's frontcourt will be 2 on 1!

The University of Washington dares to deploy a 3-defense-4 tactic, but it dares not deploy a 1-defense-2 tactic. The two situations are completely different.

"Let him catch the ball!"

Off the court, Benoit Rimbaud Jr., the head coach of the University of Washington, said through gritted teeth.

He could only ask the team to defend against each other at this time, but as a defensive head coach, he was very smart and asked center Spencer Hoynes to lose Aboya and help defend Zhang Jun.

In this way, although the backcourt is still 3V3, there are still two defenders in front of Zhang Jun.

This is a blessing in misfortune.

"It's just the same two defenders. Is this the same thing?"

Zhang Jun glanced at Aboya and suddenly accelerated to the other side. Spencer Huoyins was still jumping hard to interfere with the opponent's pass.

But Abaya wisely chose to hit the ground and missed Spencer Hoynes' defensive area.

In this game, Zhang Jun won the ball in the position for the first time.

Even at this point, the University of Washington still wants to double-team him, but what use is Spencer Hoynes' huge body?

call!

Zhang Jun started to accelerate with the ball. Spencer Huoyins was left far behind, and there was a defender beside him.

"He's coming! He's coming!"

The University of Washington players in the frontcourt were very nervous, and they all rushed forward with full concentration to prevent Zhang Jun's breakthrough.

Turning around while dribbling, holding the ball under the crotch, changing direction in front of the body...

Zhang Jun dribbled past several people with a flashy dribble and went straight to the basket.

boom!

"The first breakthrough in California is here!"

"Successful dunk! The ball goes in!"

“The University of Washington loses more than it gains!”

"Spencer Howins is the NCAA's top rim-protecting defensive center, and he is also the University of Washington's best weapon against Zhang Jun."

"But now, Spencer Hoynes is not at the basket at all, how can he protect the rim?"

Washington's defensive tactics were broken!

Alford and West Germany high-fived excitedly.

"So that's what this kid meant. He's really smart."

"Now the University of Washington has to face two problems, whether to double-team in the frontcourt or not."

"If he wants to, Zhang Jun will hold the ball in the backcourt. If not, Zhang Jun will have to return to his most comfortable style of play."

The University of Washington still chose not to.

The result was that Zhang Jun made 8 of 10 shots in 6 minutes, directly opening a double-digit point difference with super high efficiency.

At the end of the game, Zhang Jun scored 30 points with an ultra-high efficiency of 13 of 16 shots, helping UCLA successfully reach the Parker XII League finals.

"One more game to go!"

“March Madness is coming!”

After the game, Mbah a Moute and Alon Afflalo were very excited.

Now, with just one final game left before they reach March Madness, they need to wait for the winner of USC and Stanford.

Of course, whether it is Zhang Jun or any UCLA player, they all want to meet the University of Southern California.

There was a fire in their stomachs, and they wanted to let those guys taste the anger of the UCLA Bruins.

........

The next day.

The USC-Stanford game has also ended.

Although the process was difficult, USC still had the last laugh. Nick Young used a foul to win a free throw at the critical moment, and used two free throws to narrowly defeat Stanford University, which had Lopez.

The final day is scheduled for 3 days later.

"It's the Los Angeles Derby again, and it's UCLA and USC competing for the Parker XII Conference championship."

"In the entire history of the NCAA, UCLA and USC have met in the Parker XII Conference championship game 11 times."

"UCLA is better than USC with a crushing record of 8 wins and 3 losses."

Before the game even started, the Los Angeles media had already hyped up the upcoming league championship game.

Alumni of the two teams' schools even started a fierce verbal war on the Internet. Male fans took to the streets to insult the opponent team and even minor fights broke out in some streets.
