UCl is extremely dependent on the cover without the ball. Wu Huang feels that for such a team that keeps playing pick-and-roll and cover, don’t do any joint defense. Playing joint defense without a strong inside line will not only consume physical energy, but may not be effective.

At the 6th minute and 20th second in the first half, Wu Huang returned to the court.

USC has been hitting people and staring at people. If you really can't defend against the opponent's cover and pick-and-roll, you don't have to restrict your opponent. Being stuck in a stubborn way is the worst choice. If you can't defend against it, you can't fight back on the offensive end. This is a very common situation for any level of game.

After returning, Emperor Wu strengthened his personal offense, and most of the targets were the opponent's inside line.

Today, facing UCL, who doesn't even have an inside line of Gibson, Wu Huang dared to blatantly cause damage to the basket.

Collison's defense is not bad, he is good at following defense, and his footsteps are fast, but unfortunately his explosive power is average and he has a disadvantage in height. This person weighs less than 170 pounds, which makes him unable to gain an advantage in confrontation.

In the last attack in the first half, Wu Huang changed direction and broke through Collison outside the three-point line, and used his body to force the ball into the inside. Then, facing Dragovic's repair defense, Wu Huang raised his super long American vulture-like arms to avoid the cover, causing the white man's third foul on the inside.

The Poly Stadium has been quiet for a while. In the last six minutes of the first half, Wu Huang broke through and scored 8 points in a row, 6 of which were obtained through free throws.

Ucla's inside line is more than one beat slower than his speed, and Collison can barely keep up, but every time he is knocked away by Wu Huang with his shoulder. The referee did not judge Collison for a foul because of his home court, otherwise Wu Huang's free throws would be more than these.

Emperor Wu made the next two free throws and got 10 free throws in the first half.

"Swish" "Swish"!

With two pleasant basketball sounds, Wu Huang scored both free throws, and his personal score rose to 17 points. It is no longer suspense to get another 20 today.

The score was 40:27, and USC led by 13 points to the end of the first half.

During the break, Floyd re-emphasized how to defend against pick-and-roll and off-ball screens.

"When snatching the cover, you must be fast and ruthless. If you can't snatch it, you must change the defense decisively. However, you must not replace the person negatively when changing the defense. If you see that you have not put any pressure on the opponent after changing the defense, then this person should not appear again. Also, after changing the defense, you must quickly block the opponent's forward route. At the same time, the players who are guarding the cover should quickly change the defense position and block them into the inside line to prevent them from playing passes and cuts in the penalty area."

UCLa was not defeated by them in the first half by no ball cover. If she could defend against this kind of cooperation a few more times, USC would have already led by 20 points in the first half.

"In the National Championships, we will definitely meet many teams who are good at pick-and-roll and off-ball screenings, so we must do pick-and-roll and off-ball defense so that we can go further." Floyd is becoming more and more satisfied with the team's offense, but there are still many areas to strengthen in defense. When their defense is as good as offense, they will be the real champion team at that time.

Ucla also made targeted arrangements for Wu Huang during the midday break. Given this guy's threat after holding the ball, Ben Holland felt that the simplest and best way was to not let him get the ball. As long as he used a small defender with a speed similar to Wu Huang Huang, he could try to press him, stop him, and interfere with his ball control.

Collison could complete this task, and he did let Wu Huang fail to score or assist in several minutes in the second half.

Wu Huang has a plan to deal with this kind of defense, but he doesn't want to always turn into a shooting guard to solve the problem. What if he presses the second ball point again, what should he do then?

DeRozan's breakthrough with the ball is good, but letting him control the ball to organize the team will make mistakes more likely to happen once he encounters an opponent with excellent defense. Therefore, once this method is thoroughly studied, he will still encounter trouble.

Since Emperor Wu is a point guard, he must use the point guard to solve the problem.

There are many solutions in front of him, but most of them are difficult to use in his current ball-control skills, so you should think of some clever ways, such as - back-attack!

At the 16th minute and 50th second in the second half, the University of Southern California attacked. Wu finally got rid of Collison's entanglement and received the basketball.

Ben Holland asked Collison to stick to Wu Huang like a candy, so after Wu Huang got the ball, Collison came up like a gay man, constantly waving his arms to interfere with Wu Huang's attack. At the same time, UCL's defense line was also moving towards him. Even if he broke through Collison, he was greeted with a pocket formation.

"I want to see how powerful it is." Wu Huang held the ball outside the wing three-point line, facing away from Collison, and asked his teammates to scatter. At the same time, he used his strength to hit in little by little, bullying Collison, who was only tall.

"Do you really have it? Why do you feel so much shorter than me?" Emperor Wu chiseled in and interfered with his opponent with trash words.

Collison had no time to talk to him. He wanted to reach out and break the ball, but Wu Huang's arms were too long and the partitions of his body were really difficult to start.

UCL players are very embarrassed at this moment. The players from the USC are scattered from all directions. They are now in such a dangerous position. If they get closer to Wu Huang, they will shoot an open shot as soon as they pass. But if they don’t help, Collison will obviously not be able to withstand this Chinese.

Charles Barkley was amused and laughed loudly: "A smart choice, although Hugo's muscles are not strong enough, he is definitely a tall point guard. This is the best way to crack close-fitting defense."

Kenny Smith also smiled and said, "It's a pity that he doesn't have a big butt, so he has to be careful of violating the law with his back for five seconds."

Wu Huang kept counting the time silently in his heart. Ucla's players did not dare to come up to double-team. He chiseled backwards about 18 feet away from the basket and immediately turned around and broke through.

This action immediately attracted the attention of all UCL players, and players immediately came up to assist in defense.

Bart quickly moved to the far end, Wu Huang threw the basketball to the former, and USC made another open shot, but unfortunately Bart failed to hit the three-pointer this time.

Gibson squeezed his opponent away from the basket and grabbed the rebound, causing the UCL player to foul, which was the seventh frontcourt rebound of the game at USC.

Charles Barkley commented to Gibson: "The captain of USC has always been underestimated. He is a person who can grab 10 rebounds at will, and he is also a double-digit scorer. At any time, as long as someone can contribute a double-double, he is a stable outputer, but it may be a matter of height. His draft market is not optimistic."

Kenny Smith nodded: "Fans use their eyes to measure players' performance, while NBA teams rely on rulers, so inside players like Gibson who are defective in height will not usually be noticed by NBA teams unless he has a big ass of historic level."

USC still has no limit on the offensive end. Wu Huang can use his physical advantage to defeat Collison. Although his back-to-back singles are only two types of turn and break through and turn jump shot, it is enough to deal with such a scene.

Ucla dared not double-team Wu Huang easily. One is that his pass threat is too high, and the other is that Gibson's frontcourt rebound threatens too much. This internal and external restraint makes Ucla dare not use double-team tactics easily. Wu Huang is not under much pressure.

Collison has rarely been suppressed like this in the past two years. Wu Huang is the player he has ever seen who is the best at taking advantage of his physical advantages. Although his skills are not top-notch, he can use it at the right time. And once he finds his weakness, he will use his advantages to attack repeatedly.

Collison felt extremely uncomfortable throughout the game. The players at the University of Southern California also felt this way. The rhythm of this game was not in their hands most of the time. Wu Huang kept directing his teammates to stand on both offense and defense, and using his reading of the game to increase the success rate of offense and defense, which always made UCL players difficult.

In the 12th minute of the second half, UCL's players felt less, and USC immediately used a three-and-two position to defend.

Logically, the defense of the inside should be strengthened at this time, but Wu Huang’s real purpose is not defense, but to start a fast attack as soon as possible after grabbing the backcourt rebound. At this time, their 32nd position will become three sharp arrows shot out quickly, and the impact of the University of Southern California will be completely released under this offensive formation.

The University of Southern California continuously used rapid attacks for 3 minutes to hit a 13:3 attack wave.

Emperor Wu's decision this time defeated UCL in one fell swoop and won the same city derby that should have been evenly matched.
