0080: [Nothing can be done]
Kerr Aldridge is a blue-collar center who excels at one-on-one defense, rebounding and blocking.
Originally, Bill Seff planned to use him and Sasha Cowan to deal with Kevin Love in a positional battle, but he didn't expect Kevin Love to leave the field with an injury after playing for a few minutes.
After Snoopy came on in place of him, it worked wonders. His ability to get in the position gives him an advantage against Arthur and Jackson. And he also showed a level of mobility that he hadn't shown in previous games.
This forced Celf to change his tactics early, replacing him with the more agile Cole Aldridge and putting Sasha Cowen, a senior who was named to the NCAA All-American Team for three consecutive years, on the bench as a backup.
When Aldridge and Darrell Arthur walked up to Snoopy, a smile appeared on Billelf's lips.
Snoopy, 193, stood between the two of them, like peanut butter in a Big Mac hamburger, and with a little force it could be completely sandwiched.
"Unfortunately, you're screwed next."
Darrell Arthur deliberately mimicked the tone in which Snoopy had spoken to him earlier.
However, the inadvertent gnashing of teeth still makes his imitation without charm.
Psychological quality is not good. Just being put on a hat and being annoyed like this.
Snoopy smiled indifferently.
He walked up to Aldridge's side, while Luke Bamot went to defend Darrell Arthur, and the two had a clear division of work.
It's just that when Snoopy in 193 stood in front of Aldridge in 211. The fans at the Memorial Stadium couldn't be more optimistic. Because..... The top of Snoopy's head had just reached Aldridge's chin.
"How do you fight this?"
The Shark on the sidelines raised an eyebrow at him and said, "Without height, Snoopy will be stuck again, and the rebounds won't fall on his head." โ
Dwyanwade on the side also had this expression, he was about the same height as Snoopy, and his arm span was not much different, and he knew how difficult it would be to defend against a seven-foot big man on the inside with this height.
No one is optimistic about such a matchup.
Mario Chammos arrived up front with the ball and he patiently controlled the tempo. It was only when Brandon Rush ran out of position that he passed the ball steadily.
Brandon Rush took the ball and attacked Brian Wright with the ball and made a pullup jump shot from 16 feet from the basket at 45 degrees to the left...... Bang!
Rush felt a little stiff tonight.
The rebound bounced high, and Snoopy got stuck in position early.
He did all his work, and the white man couldn't move behind him.
But... The basketball was still taken away by Aldridge in the air.
Aldridge clicked twice in a row and finally closed the rebound.
The stadium was filled with sighs.
It's something that can't be changed, in the penalty area, height is always the biggest advantage, not to mention that Aldridge also has a pair of terrifying long arms.
With a sigh, Aldridge opted to shoot directly.
However, the moment he shot, Snoopy in front of him had already finished turning, and he suddenly bounced like lightning...... Syllable!
Aldridge's shot was shot off the court.
Once again, the sighs of the Memorial Stadium were drowned out by cheers.
"Snoopy's bounce is too fast. His turnaround was also swift. The shark said to Dwyanwade beside him, "Just made me think of you in this block." โ
"No, there's a difference. He didn't turn as fast as I did, but he bounced faster than I did, and he bounced higher than I did, so he almost finished the block at the highest point. If I were in his position, the big white man wouldn't have had a chance to shoot the basketball, and I would have forcibly suppressed his basketball the moment he made it. Dwyanwade said confidently.
"Do you think that old fox of Pat Riley will choose him?" The shark suddenly pointed to the oily old man in a crisp suit not far behind him.
"No, it won't." Dwyane shook his head affirmatively: "We've got Shaun Marion, and if we get the top pick this year, we'll choose Michael Beasley." The team doesn't need so many strikers. โ
The shark nodded.
There's really no need for Miami to add another short backup striker. But Phoenix, much needed!
Kansas regrouped their offense, and Chanmos grabbed a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line, but still missed. But the rebound was still pulled out by Aldridge, but fortunately, Westbrook was quick and forced the basketball off.
Yibian fights again.
With Aldridge standing in the paint area and Darrell Arthur waiting for an opportunity, so... Westbrook no longer makes easy attempts to assault the penalty area.
At the same time, since Snoopy has no autonomous offensive ability, Aldridge almost completely lets him move on the inside of the free throw line, he is not worried about Snoopy's shooting, his shooting speed on the spot is not fast, and Darrell Arthur is enough to block him around him.
Kansas used a set of combined defenses to contain the only remaining advantage of UCLA.
Bang!
Westbrook shoots the basket.
The rebound was taken by Aldridge.
Snoopy watched the towering Aldridge stand in front of him, as if a boulder was pressing down on his heart, leaving him breathless.
His enthusiasm has long been ignited by the 110,000 spectators in the audience, and his heart is also fighting hard.
However, he still felt powerless against Aldridge.
He felt frustrated with his flexibility.
Swish!
Brandon Rush finally hit a mid-range pull-up jump shot, although at this point... Every Bruins player unleashed 120 percent of their effort on the defensive end.
With Aldridge on the pitch, Snoopy was a little bit out of sight. He couldn't walk around the perimeter of the box like he used to, he had to keep his eyes on the basket. Because if you are not careful, Aldridge will be able to score directly. โ
"And, on the offensive end, there is a lack of Kevin Love. The Bruins only have one point of attack left to take the initiative to attack, and the jump shot of this point of attack is extremely erratic, and his strong attacking ability has been greatly diminished with Aldridge's play. And, with Snoopy on the back burner at rebounding, Westbrook has rarely been able to launch a direct defensive counterattack. โ
NBC's commentator lamented in the commentary box: "The difference in strength between the two teams is greater than the difference in height between Snoopy and Aldridge. โ
At this time, the UCLA Bruins still have one last chance to attack.
Westbrook burns time from beyond the three-point line.
Snoopy also ran to the free-throw line, and he bent over with two huge palms on his knees.
He could feel the rushing blood clotting here.
He wanted his numb knee to become flexible and flexible.
At this time, Darrell Arthur passed by him, leaving a sneer: "Snoopy, do you feel powerless to be discouraged so quickly?" Your ordeal has only just begun. Stop trying to make any miracles, our Aldridge is not like the Lรณpez brothers! โ
