Chapter 299 The Best Return

Damian and Marek adjusted their positions, with their legs spread apart, their hands on their chests, and they were killed.

"Iron wall defense!" Gatlin saw the defensive position of the two at a glance. It was the most solid defensive position. UCLA relied on this style of play to limit the core of Duke University, Mason, and defeated the opponent in one fell swoop.

That's what's called an impossible defense.

Larry and the two collided head-on, and Larry, who was sprinting at full speed, was stopped abruptly.

"The strength has become stronger?" Larry clearly felt the strength of the two people increase through the impact, and the lower plate was very stable, and Larry's strength was hard to shake.

The two are like a fortress pierced deep under the ground, indestructible.

Larry's offense was temporarily paused, and he had not yet entered his offensive threat zone, so he had to return to Gatlin.

Gatlin holds the ball and turns to face Oscar.

"It's not easy." Gatlin said with emotion. Larry was still a freshman after all, and he seemed helpless in the face of tough defense, but he didn't expect that UCLA would use this trick to deal with Larry.

"Just treat it as a welcome gift for newcomers." Oscar said, "The NCAA is not as simple as he thought."

"It's good to have a lesson," Gatlin said, "but is it really okay to show your hole cards so early? Those shots have been recorded." There are a total of 8 cameras around, recording every move of the players in all directions and without dead ends, which naturally includes the tactical play of the two teams in the game.

NCAA teams have strict requirements on the secrecy of their tactics. Generally, they will not easily expose their tactics to others, but they will still be "surveilled". After all, the media is the object that every team does not want to provoke.

Push them into a hurry, and write everything.

"It doesn't matter if you expose a little bit of tactics." Oscar was not worried about the tactics being exposed, and acted calmly.

Gatlin laughed, UCLA really hid the tactics, and the tactics that were played out were common and well-known, harmless.

"Gatlin vs Oscar, we need to record it properly." The camera focused on the two of them in unison, the battle between the top stars of the two teams, sparks hit the earth.

In the last confrontation between the two, Oscar scored 42 points, Gatlin scored 45 points, and UCLA won by 3 points.

The two fought in the NCAA for a total of 4 years, a total of 13 fights, Oscar won 9 of them, leading the winning percentage, but Gatlin is the one with better statistics.

In the NBA's mock draft, Oscar ranked first in the first round, and Gatlin ranked third.

In terms of 14 physical test data, Gatlin has 9 data crushing Oscar.

"Oscar is a player who can revitalize the team, and Gatlin's personal ability is stronger."

The comparison of the scouting reports between the two speaks for itself, which is why Oscar has been crushing Gatlin in draft predictions.

But at this moment, Gatlin was attacking with the ball, and Oscar struggled to defend in front of his absolute physical fitness. After struggling, Gatlin still scored the ball.

Turning around, Oscar responded by assisting Leo to hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

The two help their teams in their own ways.

In the middle of the second quarter, Gatlin overtook his teammate Larry and became the scoring leader of the game.

Larry's scoring hasn't risen in a while, and under the constraints of UCLA's twin towers, his threat is minimized.

Oscar sent out 7 assists in less than halftime, and also scored 10 points and 6 rebounds. The mini triple-double data is very beautiful.

UCLA also slowly caught up with the score, and the score difference was only 2 points before halftime.

In order to keep the lead, Kentucky's defense increased again, focusing on guarding Oscar. In the last attack, Oscar was completely out of the tactical system and did not participate in the offense. At the same time, he took away two Kentucky defenders.

Oscar's approach made Kentucky miscalculate. Not to mention the waste of two defensive forces, it also formed a situation of less defense and more defense. The remaining three had to watch the other four at the same time. No matter how they defended, they would miss one.

"Zone defense!" Kentucky can only put up a partial zone defense, shrinking the defensive range and preventing UCLA from attacking the inside.

UCLA's four-teamer dragged Kentucky's defense with wide-ranging, fluid passes that shifted their focus based on the direction of the pass.

UCLA is deliberately delaying the time. They want to use the last attack to run out of game time and not leave even a second of attack time for Kentucky.

By chance, the basketball would end up in the hands of Felix on the weak side.

After 8 passes, the basketball really fell into Felix's hands, and there was only enough time left for one shot, not even time for one more dribble.

Felix has to catch the ball and make the first shot.

"Don't think about it." Larry's attention was all on timing, he had already moved ahead of time before Felix received the ball, and when Felix received the ball, his defense was also in place.

Larry straightened his body, stretched his arms as far as possible, and blocked Felix's shot from the front, completely blocking his shot line.

If Felix follows the current trajectory of his shots, a block is inevitable.

"呵~" Felix kicked his right foot to the side, and his body dodged to the other side, successfully avoiding Larry's block, and shot while drifting sideways, and the basketball flew towards the basket with a side spin.

A wonderful drifting three-pointer helped UCLA go ahead by 1 point at halftime.

Not many points, but crucial, meaning UCLA played a better half than Kentucky.

Larry played a staggering first quarter. Gatlin took over the game in the second quarter and split the game. The two each played a perfect quarter, but combined with the entire first half, only Gatlin's performance was normal. Larry was invisible for the entire quarter, which is why Kentucky was overtaken.

As a freshman, Felix's performance is easier to remember than Larry's. Although his statistics are not as good as Larry's, the last overtake goal is as precious as gold, and it also reflects his courage.

"Good shot!" The teammates came over to celebrate with Felix one after another, giving encouragement to the rookie. Few people can hit the buzzer to overtake Kentucky.

Some people are happy and some are worried.

Compared with the liveliness on the field, the end of the bench seemed much deserted, and Mu Chenfeng didn't show any joy.

"So this is the gap." Mu Chenfeng clearly realized the gap between himself and Felix. Before Felix shot, Mu Chenfeng also tried to think about what choice he would make if he was facing Larry. He should shoot directly and be blocked.

But Felix calmly made the most accurate judgment, scoring is his best reward.

"Welcome to the NCAA, rookie."
