Chapter 22 The Heart-Piercing Logo: 3 points!
Roy Williams was baffled by this scene. He absolutely did not believe that Ben Holland would arrange a 3D player to dribble over from beyond the three-point line and force a three-point shot.
This situation could only be due to the player acting on their own initiative.
He remembered that this number 10 player was just a 3D player, but how could he possibly be a 3D player tonight?
He has the ability to take strong shots while holding the ball.
At this point, Roy Williams wasn't the only one who made this judgment.
Riley, Presti, and others share this judgment.
Judging from the first half, Zeng Zhen's ball-handling ability is not as bad as the scouting report says; there is room for improvement.
Compared to the low scores in other games, this match was a high-scoring affair, with both sides constantly exchanging blows on offense.
"Zeng, keep playing like this, don't hold back with them." Ben Holland didn't blame Zeng Zhen for acting on his own initiative. Since the start of the game, Zeng Zhen had already scored 15 points, the highest score among UCLA players.
Ben Holland put his arm around Zeng Zhen's shoulder as he explained various precautions. On camera, the two looked like a master teacher and his student.
"Okay, leave it to me, I'll handle it." Zeng Zhen nodded in agreement.
Ben Holland has indeed given Zeng Zhen a lot of tactical opportunities.
North Carolina is the toughest opponent UCLA has ever faced, and the Bruins cannot completely dominate them.
Roy Williams watched Zeng Zhen and Holland's conversation, then pulled Danny Green aside and instructed, "Danny, watch out for that number 10's dribbling and penetration. He's changed his playing style now, so you can relax your shooting defense a little."
Roy Williams chose to trust his judgment and had Danny Green change his defensive approach.
Although Danny Green had some doubts and felt that he should not lower his guard against Zeng Zhen's three-pointers, he ultimately decided to follow the coach's instructions. In North Carolina, Roy Williams had absolute authority.
On the field.
"Zeng, are you going to attack with the ball next?" Westbrook asked.
"No, no, I'll still look for three-point opportunities on the outside. You guys set screens for me first." Zeng Zhen knew that offensive moves had to be varied.
"OK!"
"no problem."
The UCLA players surrounded Zeng Zhen and yelled at him.
Zeng Zhen now naturally possesses a certain cohesiveness, and the Bruins players on the field seem to clearly know how to play around him.
Zeng Zhen's offense has been very efficient in the last few games, and combined with his performance in training, his teammates trust him a lot.
On the field, they know who they feel most comfortable handing the ball to.
Pause back.
After a series of passes, Lawson and Hansbrough initiated a pick-and-roll at the top of the court, delaying Westbrook's progress.
Lawson dribbled to the right free-throw line and then suddenly stopped for a mid-range jump shot.
It has a soft feel.
"Whoosh!"
Go in!!
40:38.
Lawson also scored 12 points today, and he and Zeng Zhen are going head-to-head.
Lawson's height is a huge disadvantage, making him a defensive liability, but the fact that he was able to establish himself in the NBA for a period of time also speaks volumes about his offensive capabilities.
Westbrook dribbled the ball up the court, and Zeng Zhen received the ball at the edge of the logo on the right side.
Danny Green positioned himself slightly, keeping an eye out for any upcoming screens.
According to normal tactical thinking, Zeng Zhen cannot shoot from this position. If he wants to have the ball, he will initiate a pick-and-roll.
Zeng Zhen saw Danny Green's defensive focus and didn't close in.
No one in the NBA would dare to let Curry off the hook like that.
Zeng Zhen took a probing step to slightly adjust Danny Green's rhythm, and then decisively took the shot.
A super long-range logo three-pointer without any pressure.
Danny Green was too slow when he rushed over to defend.
Danny Green strictly followed the head coach's defensive strategy, which created obvious gaps in his defense!
This is a March Madness tournament, and Zeng Zhen's shots look very casual.
Many fans covered their mouths, they were all shocked by Zeng Zhen's move.
This kind of action is completely illogical.
This is extremely rare in the NCAA, which is known for its rigorous tactics.
Ben Holland, standing on the sidelines, was visibly agitated, his hands raised to cover his head.
Clearly, this was not one of the tactics he had devised.
Zeng Zhen's three-point shooting touch is excellent; he's in the rhythm of being the "God of Three-Pointers."
The basketball traced an extremely long arc.
Precise ballistics!!
"Whoosh!!"
Hit!
40:41.
As soon as the basketball pierced the net, the fans in the stadium erupted in a huge cheer.
[OMG, an incredible three-pointer from way beyond! Awesome!!]
[18 points!]
[That range is outrageous! That's three-point range for the logo!]
This guy's three-point shooting is so easy.
Danny's defense is solid; this guy is phenomenal.
[God, what did I see?]
Waves of cheers erupted from countless fans.
Ben Holland's hands, which were clasped behind his head, immediately turned into a celebratory raised hand.
"Click click click!!"
The camera captured the famous coach's every move.
On the court, Zeng Zhen turned around, raised his hand, nodded, and shouted tauntingly at the North Carolina bench, "You can't stop me!"
The North Carolina bench players were all silenced; no one made eye contact with Zeng Zhen.
"Well done!"
"Well done!"
Westbrook and Love both high-fived Zeng Zhen, who was passing by, in celebration.
The University of North Carolina is on offense.
Lawson and Hansbrough executed another pick-and-roll, this time Lawson drove to the middle and passed to Danny Green in the corner.
Danny Green was far from his peak during his college years; his release was a little slower, and Zeng Zhenfei's lunge at him caused significant disruption.
The basketball bounced off the rim and into the air, and Love grabbed the rebound inside.
Zeng Zhen and Westbrook attacked from both wings, instantly creating a shift in offense and defense.
"Danny's three-pointer was contested, UCLA is on a fast break!"
"Russell and Zeng are so fast!!"
"Kevin passed the ball."
ESPN commentator Mike Breen yelled.
Love hurled the ball powerfully at Zeng Zhen.
"Whoosh!!"
Zeng Zhen leaped high from the midfield line and caught the basketball.
Lawson pounced on Zeng Zhen immediately; his pounce was incredibly fierce.
Zeng Zhen dribbled on the right side and burst past Lawson in one step.
Zeng Zhen got an open shot a meter or so beyond the three-point line on the right side.
He stopped abruptly, brought his legs together, and launched himself into the air.
Zeng Zhen took the ball and pushed it out smoothly in rhythm with his body.
"Whoosh!!"
The basketball streaked through the sky and hurtled towards the hoop.
Lawson, Danny Green, and Hansbrough looked up at the basketball, all praying that the shot wouldn't go in.
After landing, Zeng Zhen turned around and raised his hands in celebration.
"Whoosh!!"
40 is better than 44
The basketball swished through the net the instant Zeng Zhen turned around.
"Click click click!!!"
The camera captured this incredibly powerful moment.
Fans across the United States watching the game online were blown away.
[Fuck, this rookie's consecutive three-pointers are deadly!!]
[A cool, domineering early celebration.]
[OMG, God, is this rookie going to score 50+ tonight?]
[The opponent is North Carolina; how can he play so easily in such a high-intensity game?]
He completely shook off Ty Lawson, then took a step, pulled up, and hit a three-pointer!
[A beautiful shot.]
ULCA's counter-offensive this time was absolutely unbeatable!
[Kevin's long pass, Zeng Zhen's dribbling past his opponent and sudden stop—it's incredibly long!!]
He even held an early celebration, getting all excited!
Why do I feel like none of those top rookies are as good as him?
Yes, the brilliance was completely overshadowed by this Chinese man.
I want to see him play in the NBA!!!
