Since knowing that the enemy in the final was Arizona State University, USC has not been too worried from players to fans. The 34-game winning streak makes them full of confidence. Whether their opponents are archenemy UCL or Arizona State, they don’t think they will lose this game.

Floyd could not guess in advance that his opponent in the finals. UCL and Arizona are two teams with completely different styles, so they can only sit down and deploy the finals tactics after the opponent is officially released, but there is not much time left for them to prepare.

Arizona lost to the University of Southern California twice in the first half of the season. I don’t know if it was stimulated. In the second half of the season, they started playing in the first and first-year and junior high school. They liked to use fast offensive and defensive transformations to play against their opponents, but they did not have a stable foothold.

James Harden now plays from No. 1 to No. 3 now, and the more chaotic the game is, the better it will be for Arizona State.

"If the game can be carried out step by step, the result will be beneficial to us." Floyd emphasized before the game to play steadily, make full use of the 35-second offensive time, and return to defense immediately after completing the attack to prevent being hit by a fast attack.

"Harden likes to hold the ball on the outside, and the activity area is often near the two 45-degree three-pointers and the top of the arc, so we can perform high-pressure defense, double-team the ball holder in the upper area, pressing the opponent to stop the ball, making the University of Arizona slow down the ball, and limiting Harden's activity area."

Floyd hopes to use high-intensity defense to oppress his opponent. USC happens to have two outsiders who are very good at moving and fast to attack. Small forward Bart Brad is not slow, and Gibson, who has outstanding explosive power in the inside, can defend it, so there is no problem in implementing this high-level pressing tactic.

Harden is different from Wu Huang. He likes to pass the balls with adventures and rarely makes the balls at the first time, which makes him prone to such premeditated double-teams.

Floyd asked Wu Huang and DeRozan to attack Harden quickly. As long as the opponent stops the ball, the two must go forward and press and intercept the ball. They cannot give him a chance to foul. Nearby players must also come up immediately to cut off the pass route.

USC dare not prepare such a tactic before its final opponent was released, because this move was useless for UCLA. Teams that rely on off-ball running and fixed-point jump shots were all accurate shooting skills, paying attention to sharing and conducting balls. As soon as USC goes up to double-team, UCLA will definitely send the ball to the open shooter as soon as possible, and then this side will be thrown into a plug.

This high-position pressing tactic is of no use for teams that make quick shots, as well as teams that have strong inside, such as the Spurs and Celtics, as well as the Rockets and Lakers. Such tactics will definitely have a counterproductive effect.

Arizona State is different. Even Harden has only three players, and this bearded man has no habit of making the ball at the first time. As long as he can limit his outside scoring core and organizational core, even if Arizona State State thinks of a solution the next day, it will be useless. This is a game of winning or losing.

Floyd was secretly proud of this kind of life-and-death game, let alone a day, even if it is not good for half a game, the result will be fatal. So as long as USC can successfully block Harden in the first half or the second half, this game will be won.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On March 15, the final of the Grand Ten Championship kicked off. Today, the University of Southern California and Arizona State will hold this divisional final at the famous Staples Arena in Los Angeles.

This is the first time Wu Huang has played at Staples Center today. This arena is not only a symbol of the Lakers, but also a landmark building in the city center.

At 8 pm, it was completely dark, and the USC team bus, escorted by several police cars, drove all the way from the hotel to the Staples Arena.

After approaching the stadium, Wu Huang and his teammates could see more and more huge NBA star advertisements along the car window. Kobe's billboards are naturally the one with the most billboards. This Lakers star, who just set a miracle of 81 points in the past few seasons, is now launching an attack on his fourth championship!

The Lakers are strong this year, and Wu Huang thinks they will definitely face the Celtics again in the finals and Yixue's defeat last season.

"Dad, our bus will enter the field through the internal passage. You, mom, and Uncle Moretz will enter through the main entrance later." Wu Huang spoke with his father on the phone in the team's bus. He has not yet gone out, and now there are still two hours before the game begins.

Wu Huang asked the team for nine game tickets today, only five of which were front seats, and the remaining four were all in the middle of the court. He naturally gave the five front-row tickets to his parents and the Moretz family. Wu Huang gave the remaining four tickets to the girls he knew.

Bart looked envious next to him. Today he only had three tickets, and they were all in the middle of the court.

The tickets for this game are not easy to make. Wu Huang had such a great deal of face, so he finally got five front-row tickets. In the past, he had no problem wanting more than a dozen front-row seats, but not today.

Floyd also knew that only the team's star had too few tickets, but playing games at Staples Arena was different from the past, and this was not the final decision of their team. Arizona State also had half of the profits of this game, and it was impossible for them to share all the tickets.

The competition held in Staples Arena is indeed different from previous competitions. Before the competition began, the security check was much more detailed than their previous competitions. The team bus drove to the street near the venue. Wu Huang actually saw a horse-drawn police officer on both sides of the road, and a small number of military uniform patrolmen were waiting for the battle. The scene was really big.

It is said that during the playoffs, the number of these patrols will increase several times, and a large number of riot police will be stationed outside the arena. The martial law will be cleared half an hour before the start of the game and half an hour after the end to prevent fans from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

Once around Staples Arena, the patrol police will no longer be responsible for it. The security guards inside the Staples will maintain public order here, and the two do not belong to the same department. Staples Arena will sign an agreement with the nearby police stations every year, and the two home teams will pay a certain salary. These police stations will send a certain number of plainclothes police and military uniform police to maintain safety before each game.

This kind of exercise is also a training for the police, which allows them to have sufficient experience to deal with other similar large-scale events, such as boring farts, going to the streets all day long, etc.

After the bus at the University of Southern California team is opened to the internal passage, players must also undergo inspection when they get off the bus. The security guards in the arena will use "metal detectors" and other safety equipment to carefully check the players' bodies and backpacks to prevent players from entering the game with guns or knives.

In recent years, NBA has frequently encountered incidents of players carrying guns and knives. The league has paid special attention to the inspection of players. Even NBA players will be inspected when entering the court. Once firearms and other items are found, they will have to be suspended for at least ten or eight games.

"I'll be able to come here to compete every week from now on." After Bart Blay was inspected, he couldn't help but say to Emperor Wu.

"That's not a chance. The Lakers have a second-round pick." Wu Huang's words hurt Bart very much, but it would be good if he could be selected in the second round. After all, only a few dozen people can finally stay in the NBA every year, and many lottery picks, and even the No. 1 pick, were unable to stay in the end.

Emperor Wu sighed: "Recently, they began to say that I was soft-playing and may not be able to match the NBA rhythm in the future. I will not be able to pull a lot of things, and I will almost believe myself."

He is talking about Yahoo Sports. These bastards have recently begun to look down on him. They always compare Adam Morrison, a parallel product from the past few years, and think that neither of them has any outstanding speed, bounce and muscles, and just rely on rhythm and reaction to play. These things may make them prosper in NCAA, but once they reach NBA, it won't work.

In short, they just want to express: no matter how a player like Wu Huang is awesome in college, he will suddenly turn from a "dragon" into a "worm" once he reaches the NBA.

"I believe that they say you are not strong enough. At least you do look a little weak. But they say you are not fast enough. I think Demar will be the first to disagree." After Bart said that, he glanced at DeRozan.

DeRozan wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it, but now he can't pretend to be deaf.

He dared not offend Emperor Wu now. In fact, he didn't know whether he could hit him when he was in the NBA, so he could not care about others. But now he could not offend this master. DeRozan could only forcefully laugh and said, "Yes, Hugo's speed is amazing and he is not thin."

When Emperor Wu heard this, he laughed and reached out to pat his shoulder.

Since this kid has convinced him, he will not always be in trouble. Maybe he will play together in the future.
