The Way of the Center

"Russell Westbrook! Another wonderful score!" This impactful point guard made the commentator crazy. Just now, Westbrook avoided Anjie's block with a beautiful pull-up layup. This small guard with a height of only 1.91 is not afraid to challenge the Cyclones' inside power. Mike Taylor was completely unable to stop his breakthrough, and Anjie was also unpredictable to this dexterous point guard.

The score on the big screen has become 6-0, and there are two minutes left in the opening game, and the Cyclones have not scored a point. UCLA has relied on the performance of Westbrook and Kevin Love to widen the gap.

"The whirlwind team's dark horse road is over. They have done well enough this season. I hope they can cherish this opportunity to play against the strong, and don't have illusions about others."

If Ricard heard the commentator's words, he would definitely rush to the commentary stand and give the person who said those words a hug. It's only been two minutes since the game started, and the commentators acted as if they had seen through the future.

The Cyclones launched an attack again, and the UCLA players did not dare to relax because they led by 6 points.

An Jie received the ball inside, and the big white man named Love posted up again.

First Team All-American, Pac-10 Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year. This season alone, Kevin Love has won more honors than many players. Don't look at the lack of athletic ability of this white big man, and his post-up skills are not outstanding, but he does have his own set of methods to dominate the game.

In the last round of the game, UCLA met the Cyclones' old rival, the Texas A\u0026M Farm Boys. In order to deal with Kevin Love, the Farm Boys had to take DeAndre Jordan to the court again. They wanted to use Jordan's strong body and abnormal athletic ability to limit Love on the defensive end, but the audience saw a full seven brutal blocks.

Oh, make no mistake. These seven blocks were not made by Jordan. Kevin Love retaliated with Jordan's favorite abuse method. This power forward with a height of only 2.08 meters and insufficient jumping blocked Jordan almost to a psychological shadow. In addition to blocking shots, Kevin Love also scored a double-double of 19 points and 11 rebounds. After this confrontation, DeAndre Jordan once again "successfully" dropped his pick a lot.

Therefore, even if An Jie faced a power forward, it was not easy for him. Angie doesn't want to replicate DeAndre Jordan's failure on himself.

Holding the ball and hitting back, An Jie planned to use the most primitive way to solve the problem. UCLA knows that the biggest threat to the Cyclones is not Anjie, but the integrity! Therefore, UCLA did not use double-team tactics against Anjie in this game, but used man-to-man defense to maximize the difficulty of the Cyclones passing the ball. But from another perspective, this also reflects the UCLA head coach's absolute trust in Kevin Love's defensive ability.

After several collisions, An Jie stepped into the three-second zone with one foot, and An Jie began to hold the ball with both hands, and he was going to attack the frame!

Kevin Love did not underestimate the Chinese in front of him at all. You must know that Kevin Love was very embarrassed in the confrontation with the Lopez brothers, but this Chinese defeated the two by himself. twin brothers.

He followed An Jie closely, not daring to leave any space for An Jie.

However, in terms of footsteps, how could the slow Kevin Love compare to An Jie?

After swaying his back a few times, An Jie turned around easily and wiped past Kevin Love. With a low hand layup, the Cyclones finally got their first point after the opening.

"We're not going to be surprised by what Aingle is doing right now because that's his normal level. Michael Beasley, DeAndre Jordan, D.J. Augustin, Brook Lopez  … Listen Hear these bright names,

They are all defeated by An Jie's men! He is a star! He is no worse than Kevin Love! "Not only Paul Philips, but now many TV commentators appreciate this big man from China very much.

If the whole game was singled out by Anjie and Kevin Love, the Cyclones might have a greater winning percentage than UCLA. But unfortunately, basketball has never been a confrontation between two people.

UCLA has different players in almost every game. In the round of 64, Darren Collison scored 21 points. Mbah a Moute 13 points and 13 rebounds.

In the round of 32, Westbrook had 17 points and 11 rebounds, and Kevin Love had 19 points, 11 rebounds and 7 blocks. The Cyclone team can't just watch one person, or two people. UCLA is a team that always has someone who can stand up and lead the team out of the quagmire.

Westbrook obviously inherited the excellent state of the previous round very well and became the first sharp sword drawn by UCLA today. Mike Taylor was afraid of Westbrook's breakthrough, so he let him go a few steps away. This season, Westbrook's three-point shooting percentage is only 33.8%, and Mike Taylor's choice seems to be no problem.

But who is Westbrook? A guy like him still has the highest right to fire even if he misses a few shots in a row. Dribbling the ball to the three-point line, Westbrook jumped directly high.

"What!?" Mike Taylor didn't expect the opponent to make a three-point shot directly. His three-point shooting percentage is not high. Where does this confidence come from?

Westbrook is always full of confidence in his offense, even if his three-point shooting rate is only 33.8% this season, so what?

Soaring into the air, with his body stretched straight, such a shot height is unmatched by Mike Taylor.

The basketball was shot with a very flat arc. Kevin Love and An Jie fought desperately under the basket, vying for the position of the rebound.

"Shua!" But the two of them still did nothing, and the basketball thrown by Westbrook flew into the hoop with precision.

After the goal, Westbrook raised his right hand and showed 3 fingers. Don't think that breakthrough defense can limit me, my offensive pace will never stop.

"Damn it!" Ricard thought about it, not knowing what to do with this defender. Some players are like this, and no tactics can limit them. Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal... have you ever seen a team that can prevent them from scoring by tactics alone, and now West Brook has also become a terrifying existence in the college basketball arena.

With the exception of Angie and Kevin Love, everyone else on the Cyclones is not at the same level as the UCLA players.

9 to 2.

11 to 2.

13 to 2.

13 to 5.

After six minutes of the game, the Cyclones still scored in single digits. They only scored 5 points by relying on Anjie's two attacks. UCLA gave the Cyclones a blow as soon as they came up!

UCLA fans happily sang the Bruins anthem and shouted the names of the players in the stands. The Sweet 16 is not their destination. Only the champion can be worthy of this group of outstanding players.

Ricard was forced to call a timeout, and the UCLA players looked relaxed and celebrated with each other. The players on the Cyclone team lowered their heads one by one. They have never played such a frustrated game.

"Give the ball to Anjie!" Ricard yelled out the words as soon as the players sat down.

Not to mention others, even An Jie was surprised. He stared at Ricard with a serious expression. Ricard has always asked players to play team basketball. What he asked for was active running and pick-and-roll, precise passing and coordination. Hit the ball for someone? The Cyclones have never done that this season.

"We have to let UCLA focus on Angie first, and then others can have opportunities. Now our offense is too scattered, and UCLA's man-to-man defense can restrain us. Give it all to Angie! Don't hesitate! They won't double-team. An Jie, let Kevin Love taste your strength!" Trust, this is the embodiment of Ricard's confidence in An Jie.

Best player in the Pac-10? Facing a strong enemy, An Jie felt a little excited. Fighting against the strong and making himself stronger is what An Jie desires most now.

"Hey boy, Kevin Love is a guy who plays the game. I think those tricks should be very effective on him." Divac patted Anjie on the shoulder before going on the court, revealing the sign sex smirk.

Kevin Love didn't know that the guy who was following Divac's teachings would become the most hated opponent in his career. The grievances between Kevin Love and An Jie began in college.
