Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 4441830, member: 3834"] It’s pretty clear that whether she was actually prevented from taking more shots or chose not to take them because they were not “good” shots, Duke was essentially responsible. Therefore I’m not quite sure why “held” is so inaccurate? Surely, even great players can be affected by a defense designed specifically for that player. Of course, even when this type of defensive focus successfully holds a player down, she/he is still helping her team by removing the focus on her teammates thus allowing them to score more easily. Not to mention the other areas of the game she may be able to exploit like assists, steals, rebounds etc. When we punish them as Lou and AE did, it becomes less likely that she (Azzi) will have to put up with such foolishness in future games! So, my friends, in the great circle of basketball, no action is wasted and the road leads inexorably to its expected destination, another UConn victory. [/QUOTE]
