UCLA's last-16 opponent is Arizona State University. They eliminated the University of Washington in the first round, and freshman James Harden showed sophistication and cunning in his first elimination, scoring a game-high 19 points and six assists.

In addition to James Harden, Arizona State University (ASU) has another eye-catching player named Jeff Pendegraf, who is a physical interior player. He scored 9 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks against the University of Washington and is a super blue-collar player.

Friday afternoon's match against ASU was not well received by the television stations, and even the arena was only half filled with the audience.

There's nothing to see about this game.

In fact, there is no suspense in this game either.

The UCLA trio got the rhythm in their hands from the start of the game, with the puppies completely dominating Jeff Pendegraf in the paint zone. Pendegrave has everything puppy has and is better than him.

Whether it is physical strength, or bouncing ability, card ability, rebounding ability, and blocking ability, the puppy has an all-round advantage.

In addition, the puppy has something that Pendegrave does not have, super bounce speed, excellent passing awareness, and intelligent brain.

So... Pendegrave fell into a situation of beating in all directions.

In the end, the puppy scored 2 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. Among them, a block was given to James Harden, James Harden broke into the restricted area with a classic serpentine breakthrough foot, and was directly stabbed by the dog when he made a backhand layup, and pressed directly on the rebound with one hand.

This made James Harden look panicked and surprised. Normally, his breakthroughs rarely produce such results, and he is surprised that the puppy is not fooled.

Before the game, he looked at the basic body measurement data of the puppy, and he found that the height and arm span of the two were exactly the same, but he was now playing the invisible No. 1 position, while he was a solid No. 5 position.

At the moment, the style of play of the two can be said to be diametrically opposed. The puppy is solidly stationed in the paint area, and affects the game with rebounding and defense.

James Harden, on the other hand, is at the other extreme, with a good shot, excellent speed shifting ability, and a kaleidoscopic floor-to-floor scoring skill: Richmond's turnaround shot, Paul Pearce's back-to-back singles, Manu Ginobili's snake step, he is all fine.

He is only 18 years old this year, but he plays like an old fritter who is old and serious.

At halftime, Ben Holland repeatedly emphasized: "Russell, you should learn from James Harden. His style of play is more reasonable. ”

However, Russell clearly didn't listen carefully, and he stuck to his personality in the second half, like a beast down the hill, he didn't entangle his opponents at all, he used his speed to strangle their ankles, used Kevin Love or puppy cover, went straight into the box, or made leg-straight jumpers at the free-throw line.

He's so invincible!

To be honest, Coach Ben Holland is a little helpless about this, because Westbrook's variant version of DDM play can win.

He didn't take him off until the final five minutes when Westbrook started to brush up on assists, and garbage time was already up. Westbrook also apparently wants to improve his assist stats from 7 to 10.

So, when he returned to the bench, he was a little unhappy.

However, Kevin Love's small talk with the puppy at the side allows him to release this unpleasantness.

"Hey, Snoopy." Kevin Love asked the puppy seriously: "Don't you think James Harden looks a bit like a black girl?" He's so delicate, he should add a bit of masculinity to himself. ”

"Masculine breath? Lend bin Laden's beard to him? The puppy complained angrily.

Then, Westbrook let out a chuckle. His brain had an association, and he pieced it together: "This is indeed a genius idea, he should give himself some beard, if he can grow it." Hahahaha! ”

After the game, James Harden actually came over and offered to change jerseys with the puppy, but the puppy certainly did not refuse.

The two exchanged their jerseys and then parted after a polite handshake.

ASU's season is over, and they fell to the round of 32.

The winners, UCLA, will continue to push forward, and they will be in the quarterfinals in three days' time.

Their opponent, who came out an hour before the end of this match, is Stanford University, which owns twin López brothers.

There is no doubt that this is the first important test of the puppy's basketball career, as he will face two seven-foot men at the same time, and he is also a twin!!

However, before that, he still has to face Jennifer.

Jennifer has been in Satmento for the past three days, ever since she tasted the pleasure of that thing. She learned a lot of advanced postures without a teacher, which made the puppy very happy, and he tried new tricks almost every day.

The two of them never tired of it.

"I'm going back to Los Angeles this morning, and my agent picked me up a literary film."

Jennifer told the puppy at four in the morning.

The puppy was silent, just silently turning Jennifer over.

Time ticks and ticks.

……

Basketball pundits are not optimistic about UCLA's prospects of qualifying, and they believe that the 1.93-meter Snoopy will completely lose all the chips he won in his first two games this time.

"The López brothers are so strong, under the rules of the NCAA, they are the strongest interior team in the country. UCLA's attempt to continue using Snoopy to open the game is wishful thinking, and it will never happen. ”

"Brooke is good offensively, he's a weakened version of Tim Duncan, there's not a single job under the basket that he can't do. Robin is a passionate defensive player, rebounding, blocking, building morale, he can do anything! ”

"Height is Snoopy's biggest flaw, and his slow movement will make the López brothers eat them alive."

“……”

Almost one-sided comment.

The puppy looked at the newspaper handed over by Mr. Ben Holland, and then looked up: "At least one thing is worth affirming, now the basketball world uniformly calls me 'Snoopy', which will reduce a lot of communication costs." ”

Ben Holland let out an 'ah', he had wanted to use the negative comments to boost the puppy's morale.

However, the puppy gave him this feedback: Isn't it too strange to be concerned?

He was about to continue the 'stimulation' when the puppy asked, "I heard from Peterson that a group of Chinese reporters will come to interview me today." What time are they scheduled? I don't want to lose my dignity in front of my compatriots who have come from afar. ”

"They'll arrive at the arena at two o'clock in the afternoon. Before the start of the competition, we will arrange for you to have a half-hour closed-door interview in the conference room. ”

Ben Holland replied.

The puppy nodded, he recently browsed the Internet and found a lot of news reports about himself when he was browsing the Chinese website. This gave him a sense of pride in 'returning home'.

He has been waiting for his parents' phone call for the past two days, and he feels that the domestic news will definitely frighten them: it turns out that his son has quietly done such a big thing on the other side of the ocean, and they will be surprised and stunned when they see the news.
