As soon as Zhang Jun held the ball, Nick Young immediately switched positions to defend.

USC small forward Hector Werner defended Zhang Jun, while Nick Young turned to defend the weaker Mbah a Moute.

"Nick Young left again?"

"I dare not attack Zhang Jun on offense, and I dare not attack Zhang Jun on defense. He is completely avoiding Zhang Jun to fight tonight."

Kenny Smith, who saw this scene, couldn't help complaining.

Nick Young deliberately avoided Zhang Jun for two consecutive rounds. Obviously, the scene of the two fighting in the previous regular season left a deep shadow on Nick Young.

Zhang Jun has height and wingspan, and he is not too strong on the defensive end, so he has a strong restrictive effect on flashy players like Nick Young.

This is also the reason why Nick Young played abnormally with almost zero seals in the last game.

call!

Zhang Jun changed his body forward and took a cross step to the basket directly, facing USC center Meggissy Peters and scored a layup.

The small forward Hector Werner, who was shot in seconds, had already tried his best to defend, and Zhang Jun was given a lot of physical confrontation in the middle, but he was still pushed in very easily.

Barkley saw USC's intentions and said: "They are deliberately trying to keep Nick Young from playing against Zhang Jun."

"After all, he is the most capable breakthrough player in the entire NCAA. It is not good for anyone to defend alone, and it will greatly consume the player's physical strength."

"So USC is very smart to keep Nick Young, who is not strong in defense, away from Zhang Jun, and let him focus all his energy on offense, so as to achieve the purpose of containment."

Such an offensive and defensive choice is neither good nor bad. It is indeed a pity for the fans not to see the best players of the two teams play against each other.

But for the USC Trojans, they made a very correct tactical adjustment, and it was the only adjustment that could beat the odds.

"It's just that for the players, Nick Young is afraid of Zhang Jun, and he is obviously taking the initiative to express to everyone that he is a head lower than him."

USC coach bench.

Bob snorted softly, looked at the commentary stand and cursed: "You know what a fart!"

"Competitive sports want the final result, which is to win."

"Who cares about the process and the players, and Nick Young is a player who is a head lower than Zhang Jun. There is nothing wrong with admitting that."

Even now, Bob has to admit this fact.

At the beginning, he wanted to invite Zhang Jun to help Nick Young and become the second head of USC. Now it seems that it is an unwise decision.

If at that time he was able to confirm that Zhang Jun is the leader and core of the team in the new season like Alford did, maybe now Zhang Jun is a member of USC.

It's a pity that it's useless for Bob to regret at this time. What he wants is to help the team win the Parker 12 conference finals, help USC rush into the NCAA championship in one fell swoop, and chase the championship.

Switch offense.

Nick Young once again got rid of Zhang Jun's defense through the pick-and-roll outside, and this time he was facing Love.

Facing Love's defense, Nick Young chose to go to the basket and then scored a layup.

Turning his head, Zhang Jun returned the color and scored with a layup after breaking into the basket.

Both teams played very fluid offenses in the first half, trailing 45-47 at halftime.

"Coach, what do we do now?"

"USC's style of play is really badass. They don't let Zhang Jun and Nick Young match up at all. Except for Mbah a Moute who can limit Nick Young with his defensive ability, other players can't defend Nick Young at all."

Sid said more and more anxiously.

USC has always been a very strong team. Their strength is not only Nick Young, but also another five-star college student Gabe Pruitt.

In the first half of the game, Gabe Pruitt personally scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, and almost connected the entire USC offense with one person.

Coupled with the 13 points scored by Nick Young's misplaced singles and the 7 points and 6 rebounds of center Meggissy Pitis, USC played a very smooth offense in the first half, which was completely worthwhile.

Alford took a deep breath. The sudden change of USC's tactics really made him unable to cope.

Zhang Jun still efficiently scored 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in the first half, and continued to play according to his own rhythm.

But the point is that the team is still behind.

USC has made it clear that Zhang Jun is going to play alone tonight, and they are going to strictly guard the other players who are on the defensive all the way, forcing them to be unable to score or it is extremely difficult to score.

"Obviously, USC is playing against us."

"No, to be precise, the entire USC team is fighting against Zhang Jun. They don't believe that a team's offensive firepower will lose to Zhang Jun alone."

Sid said anxiously: "Then what should we do now? It's impossible to just watch USC win the game."

Alford nodded after being silent and said, "We really can't do anything. Now we can only see Zhang Jun attacking the entire University of Southern California."

"Any team that wants to play against us should get past him."

"As long as Zhang Jun's firepower is fully fired, we will still be that team that no one can defend against."

After making up his mind, Alford stared at Zhang Jun and said.

"Don't worry about the overall offense anymore, don't think too much about the position of your teammates~www.wuxiax.com~ Is there an excellent offensive opportunity?"

"As long as USC doesn't double-team you, you'll be able to attack!"

"Hit me hard!"

In the first half of the game, Zhang Jun did not fully exert his strength. The sudden change of USC's defensive style made him a little bit restrained.

Zhang Jun said: "It just so happened that I also left sufficient energy in the second half. Next, I will make USC and Nick Young remember this night forever."

The game restarts.

After Darren Collison advanced with the ball, he directly stuffed the ball to Zhang Jun. Several players all stood outside the three-point line to make room for Zhang Jun.

Nick Young escaped without any accident, and left the heavy responsibility of defending Zhang Jun to small forward Hector Werner.

Facing the opponent's two-step back defense, Zhang Jun quickly rushed into the basket, first with an accelerated breakthrough on the right side, and after reaching the penalty area, he turned around on the left side and went straight to the empty basket.

"Zhang Jun's personal offense is still so good."

Switch offense.

Nick Young singled Darren Collison and hit back with another mid-range hit.

Zhang Jun quickly entered the frontcourt with the ball in the backcourt and scored with a burst dunk.

Gabe Pruitt picks and rolls the ball from the outside, hits the ground and makes a pass to Meggissy Peters, who dunks under the basket.

Afterwards, Zhang Jun broke through at a 45° angle on the right side and made a layup with a folding lever.

The offensive confrontation with Southern California started, and the fans on the scene screamed again and again.

Even Reggie Miller couldn't help but praise: "It's been a long time since I've seen such a horizontal player in the NCAA."

"It's completely a one-on-one attack on the entire team."

"The point is, no one can prevent it yet."
