“If someone only started watching the game now, it might feel strange.

However, you read that right, this is a match between UCLA and Syracuse University. In the first half, Syracuse University led by 12 points."

"At the beginning of the game, both sides played back and forth, but in the second half, the situation suddenly changed.

Erwin, from your professional perspective, explain it to us, is it OK?"

The magician said happily: "Of course it's okay, it all comes from a tactical adjustment at Syracuse University.

Especially in defense, Syracuse University did not focus on conventional regional joint defense, but made changes.

Edlin is away from the defensive system and specializes in guarding Chen. I have to say that he is doing well at the moment.

With Chen being restricted, UCLA's attack had big problems."

"So, now you're more supportive of Syracuse winning the game?"

"No, no... I can only say that Syracuse University has the lead now. Whether it can win the game depends on the second half."

"Do you think UCLA still has a chance?"

"As long as there is no chance of the game, everything is possible, isn't it?"

...

While the two commentators were chatting, the players of the two teams had already appeared on the court, and the second half of the game was about to begin.

"Chan, if you have the chance, I can give me the ball. I will take my own responsibility. The team cannot rely on you alone."

Before the game, Capono suddenly walked to Chen Mo and said such words.

Not only him, but even the expressions of other team members became a little firmer.

It's normal, no one wants to lose, even in an ordinary game, let alone such a decisive moment.

Chen Mo nodded. If he had the chance, he would definitely not do it alone.

Well, when the first half was about to end, he did do a few things alone, and the effect was not good.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe in his teammates, but that he really can’t make a shot, so it’s better to let him do it alone.

To be honest, he was a little anxious because of the large gap in points.

After midfield trimming, he also woke up.

The more he works alone, the easier it will be for Syracuse University's defense.

The less he passes the ball, the less his teammates have a chance, and Syracuse University will pay more attention to him.

...

Speaking of which, singles and passing are often complementary. If you really have to be alone, then why is basketball a team sport?

However, if UCLA wants to make the second half, it must start with defense first.

Anthony serves, McNamara dribbles through the half, and is attacked by Syracuse University.

UCLA must defend this goal. The difference of 10 points and the difference of 15 points are definitely different.

The same offensive routine was still there. Foss mentioned the support of the high position and gave the low position to Anthony.

Anthony held the ball, and just as he was about to move, Hollins chose to assist in defense.

There was no way, Anthony had to pass the ball as soon as possible, which was a tactic that had been formulated in the first half.

Anthony doesn't like passing balls, but on the basketball court, once the game goes smoothly, even if he doesn't like it, he will play very comfortably.

The basketball transitioned to Fox. Fox took a look and wanted to pass it to Varick, but he didn't expect that Capono did a good job this time.

He immediately passed the ball to Edlin and took advantage of the situation to provide a cover. At this time, Hollins had also returned.

The pick-and-roll of two-on-two was not successful, so Edlin had to readjust and pass the ball to McNamara.

With little time left in my eyes, McNamara chose to break through and jumped in the middle distance.

Cedric's interference was done well, the basketball bounced out, and Cummings protected the rebound.

It can be seen that everyone is really fighting for the last 20 minutes of the game.

Capono was fighting Varick for the most desperate situation, even if his defense was not good, he kept entangling.

Cummings is the same, not only defending Anthony, but also doing more.

...

Looking back, Chen Mo still wants to pick-and-roll with the ball, so that he has the greatest chance to mobilize Syracuse University's defense.

As expected, when Chen Mo found a chance through the pick-and-roll, two people immediately rushed forward.

Chen Mo passed the ball at the first time. This time, Cummings did not delay, but instead took the ball and broke into it.

To be honest, his position is very important. After Chen Mo passed the ball, he needed to organize the offense twice.

Sure enough, Cummings made a quick step in and immediately Varick came over.

There is no way, it is impossible to watch Cummings attack the basket!

The so-called defense is actually a point where multiple-choice questions are more threatening, and selectively giving up some secondary threats.

However, the so-called severity of the threat is actually changing at any time.

Seeing Warrick pounce, Cummings passed the ball at the first time, and Capono was already waiting in the bottom corner for a three-pointer.

At this time, McNamara had already rotated, but Capono had already obtained a mobile phone call.

"Swish!"

The three-pointer hit a steadily, and this ball will not only be a three-pointer, but will also force Syracuse to change its defense.

Of course, Jim Burheim was also betting whether the ball was confused or not, and he did not make any adjustments at the first time.

Syracuse University's offense is still the same, and its very successful offensive tactics do not require much change.

However, UCLA itself has changed.

Although point guards appear after double-teaming and assisting defense, UCLA's players make up for the point guards through constant running.

Although Syracuse University finally found an opportunity to take action, UCLA's defense has already kept up.

Warrick missed the middle distance, Chen Mo grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack directly.

It still attracted the defense of the two people. This time, Chen Mo saw the opportunity to run out of Cummings.

A very light pick-and-roll, Cummings cut the inside with an empty cut, and made a close throw after receiving the ball.

43:50

Jim Berheim called a timeout immediately. He understood that UCLA players adjusted and their tactics needed to be changed.

As for how to change, it’s nothing more than not to double-team Chen Mo easily. If you double-team, at least you must be able to go back.

Just like UCLA did, although Hollins would take the initiative to defend, he would not really let Fox go.

Back on the basketball court, Syracuse University's tactics had not yet been implemented, and another mistake occurred.

Hollins and Cedric double-team Anthony at the same time, and Anthony made a mistake when passing the ball.

After Chen Mo's steal, he made a fast break and faced Edlin, he still made a three-pointer.

This is Chen Mo's third three-pointer in this game.

46:50

No one expected that in just less than 2 minutes, UCLA actually hit Syracuse University at 8:0.

The score difference of 12 points was instantly approached to 4 points, and both sides returned to the same level.

More importantly, UCLA seems to have found a way to crack the tactic of double-teaming Chen Mo at Syracuse University.

No one expected such a situation, even a magician.

Although he said it was very confident, UCLA had not lost yet, and there was still a chance. In fact, he did not see too many opportunities.
