Darren Collison served near the center line. Love, Abaya, Mbah a Moute, and Zhang Jun all shrunk to the free throw line, and the four formed a wall.

Several players on the court at Eastern Washington University were stunned. They had never seen such a position in their lives.

Love's sudden step outside attracted the attention of Eastern Washington University's defense. They were a little afraid of Love's three-pointer and were afraid that he would suddenly pull out to shoot.

As soon as Love mentioned it, Eastern Washington University's defensive position immediately showed holes.

Love took two steps laterally and then suddenly stopped. He put his hands together and looked down like a human wall.

"They're going to pick and roll!"

Rodney Starkey of Eastern Washington University was the first to react and quickly followed Zhang Jun for fear that the other party would run out.

But suddenly Zhang Jun also moved and walked directly towards the human wall made by Love.

Rodney Stuckey was severely blocked by Love.

"Hurry up and keep up with this kid!"

Several other Eastern Washington University players immediately double-teamed Zhang Jun. At this time, Aboya and Mbah a Moute both shot out at the same time, forming two human walls again in Zhang Jun's path.

The three-man pick-and-roll tactic is accomplished!

Zhang Jun continuously went around the wall to reach the three-point line, and Darren Collison passed the ball immediately with quick eyes and hands.

"Zhang Jun caught the ball!"

The five players on the Eastern Washington University field quickly settled into position. I have to admit that the team that can reach this position is not comparable to the previous teams in terms of player strength, team strength and discipline.

Zhang Jun did not find the opportunity to break through immediately, so he took a step outside the three-point line and resumed the attack.

Rodney Starkey has returned to defend in front of him, but as long as Zhang Jun catches the ball, he has no fear of anyone's defense.

call!

"too fast!"

Rodney Starkey couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No wonder the whole country is talking about this guy with extremely strong breakthrough ability. His breakthrough can really be described as astonishingly fast.

Rodney Stuckey was passed by one step, Zhang Jun entered the penalty area, and two men from Eastern Washington University returned to defend, but to no avail.

Zhang Jun took off in advance and made a big loop in the air. He continuously dodged the two people and found a tricky angle to score a layup.

"UCLA's offensive rhythm is here!"

For three consecutive rounds, Zhang Jun successfully caught the ball under the pick-and-roll of his teammates. As long as he caught the ball, he could score successfully no matter how Eastern Washington University defended it.

Eastern Washington University, which worked hard throughout the game, thought it had guarded Zhang Jun to death, but in the critical second half of the game, it was discovered that this player was not full of firepower from the beginning. When he was about to close the game, who would come? None of them work.

Whether Eastern Washington University can win or not depends entirely on whether Zhang Jun wants you to win. If he doesn't want you to win, you really can't guard a single ball.

In the last 5 minutes of the final quarter, UCLA launched an offensive shockwave of 14:10.

Although Eastern Washington University also played well on the offensive end, its efficiency was far less than that of Zhang Jun, who harvested the game.

At the end of the game, UCLA won the game 87:81.

"Southern District Finals, here we come!"

Looking at the excited UCLA players on the court, Alford also showed joy on his face.

Under his leadership, UCLA has reached the conference finals for four consecutive years, and each time it has been considered to have the strength to compete for the NCAA championship. Last year was the closest UCLA came to the championship.

It's a pity that UCLA will miss the game every time.

"But this year, we have a top-five player in the country."

"UCLA is ready."

"We're all ready!"

...........

The top 8 matches are scheduled for March 26, and time is also very tight.

UCLA did not return to Los Angeles after the game. Instead, the whole team rushed to the competition venue after determining the next opponent.

Coach Alford organized a viewing session, and the team sat in the conference room to watch the game between Texas and Virginia.

"This... this guy is too strong!"

"How did he do that, catch the ball and force a pull-up?"

“The key is that we still made it!”

"Don't you think this guy's playing style is very similar to Rockets superstar Tracy McGrady?"

"Don't tell me, it looks a bit like it."

"The mid-range is really accurate."

"Virginia has no way of guarding this guy."

"They're double-teamed!"

"It's useless, even two people can't defend it."

In the conference room, Love and Abaya looked at the performance of Kevin Durant from the University of Texas and were shocked for a while.

They have never seen a player play like this on the court. He pulls out when there is space and pulls out when there is no space. He plays the small forward position, but he is taller than a power forward. The key is that his wingspan is as long as Zhang Jun. Gotta be scary.

How to prevent this!

"Brother Jun, have you ever played against this Durant?" Mbah a Moute couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Jun nodded, remembering the high school league.

At that time, Durant was still a little green, especially his dribbling was not very stable, and he lacked some experience in protecting the ball, so he stole several times in a row and created a shocking comeback of 35 seconds and 11 points.

But judging from the live broadcasts on TV, Durant has obviously trained very hard this year. His dribbling center of gravity has been lowered a lot, and the ball protector is always in front of the defender. The details have been Well done.

No wonder he ranks third on ESPN's draft rankings.

When Durant can protect and dribble the ball, with his height and wingspan, few people can guard him.

"Even though I beat him in high school, I still want to say he's the most amazingly talented player I've ever faced."

Mbah a Moute and Darren Collison on the side couldn't help but take a breath. Zhang Jun's talent is already one of the best in the United States. To hear these words from his mouth is enough to prove that Duran How excellent it is.

The West German coach said at the right time: "The University of Texas is also an offensive team. If our opponent in the conference finals is them, I am afraid it will be a life-and-death battle."

"The University of Texas is not like those opponents we have encountered before. Once they can't guard us and they want to attack us, it's basically one word, die."

"But Texas is fully capable and qualified to compete offensively with us."

"Now on the NCAA scoring record list, Zhang Jun ranks first with an average of 29 points per game, and Durant ranks second with an average of 28 points per game. In fact, the average points difference between the two basically does not exceed 0.5, and they are already very close."

"So, if we encounter them, how to defend Durant will also be a very headache for us."

Coach Alford looked solemn on the side.

He knows very well that the University of Texas should be the strongest opponent UCLA has encountered this season, and the debate between Zhang Jun and Durant about the NCAA scoring champion has already started in games outside the division.
