Chapter 450 A lineup that still needs to be adjusted
With the approach of the new NCAA season, a lot of work has also entered the intense preparation stage.

The schedule of UCLA's warm-up match is also freshly released.

As in previous years, there are a total of five warm-up matches that need to be played, but what is more embarrassing is that these five games are either away games or played in neutral areas.

In other words, UCLA fans won't be able to see their players' heroics at home during warm-up games.

In addition, the team will still go to Berkeley to stage the annual Berkeley "exhibition game".

At that time, Lan Shengli will return to Berkeley, which can be regarded as a highlight.

The team leader took the schedule and came to Holland's office.

"It was quite a headache for the first game. I had to run from the westernmost part of the United States to Philadelphia, the easternmost part of the United States, to play a game against the University of Pennsylvania. Such a long distance was indeed too bumpy, and I was really special. I really hate this kind of long-distance flight, hey~~,"

Here, Holland looked at the schedule, shook his head, and sighed.

"Yes, this kind of game after a long-distance flight has no training value for the players at all, and it has no training significance for the team. I have already reacted and communicated with the NCAA organizing committee. The game is held in the central region, but the reply from the organizing committee is that they are now vigorously developing the college basketball atmosphere in Pennsylvania, which means that we can make some contributions, "

The leader responded.

"It's really nonsense. There are so many teams in the NCAA Division I, but they want to let the team from Los Angeles, which is the farthest away from Philadelphia, go. I don't know what they think,"

Holland shook his head, sighing.

"Forget about him, let's treat it as a vacation before the official start of the season, as the residual heat after the long-distance flight after preparing for the official season,"

Holland continued to sigh.

"By the way, when it comes to going to the away game, I think of one thing, that is, seeing that we are about to go out, do you have any doubts about Bruce being the temporary video analyst~?!"

asked the team leader suddenly.

"Oh~!! It's fake that you came to me to send the game schedule, but it's true to ask about Bruce~!!"

After hearing this, Holland immediately sighed.

"Haha, no, I just thought of this, so I just asked,"

The leader responded with a smile.

"I have indeed talked to Bruce, and I have already agreed with him. After all, the work of video analyst often does not require real "analysis". You know what I mean~!!"

Holland said.

It seems that when facing the team leader, Holland has never praised Lan Shengli, and even always looked at it in a derogatory tone.

"Well, it seems that you still don't trust Bruce, but it's good to let him stay in the team. Let time witness whether he can do it or not,"

The leader responded.

But the team leader still believes in Lan Shengli as always.

"Let's go, I'll take you to watch the team practice,"

Holland continued talking, got up and left.

The leader followed behind.

I saw that in the training hall, the players have already started a very orderly training under the leadership of the assistant coach.

Under the guidance of assistant coaches on the sidelines, Love and other inside players gave advice on footwork. A few strikers went around the court doing laps for physical training. Collison and Westbrook each led a main player for the whole court. Fast break simulation training.

"The training enthusiasm of the players is very high~!"

Seeing this, the team leader sighed.

"Of course. After all, this is the beginning of the season. The players must be the most excited and most eager to play. If this state can be maintained, then the team will really have no one~! !"

Holland looked at his "subordinates" and said arrogantly.

It felt like an instructor showing off how powerful the team he trained was in front of the general.

"Duang~!!!"

Perhaps seeing the arrival of the head coach and the team leader, Westbrook happily staged a slam dunk in the fast break.

"Beautiful~!!!"

"After an offseason, the players seem to have improved a lot, haha, now I'm looking forward to their performance in the new season~!!"

The leader watched, nodded, and sighed.

"Of course, we are UCLA, and these are UCLA players~!"

Holland continued to say with a proud expression.

"Let you see the competitive state of the players~!"

Holland continued talking and walked into the training hall.

"Crack~crack~crack!!!"

"Everyone gather, gather, gather~!!"

Holland clapped his hands and spoke.

Seeing this, the team members immediately swarmed over.

"For the training this morning, we will play a teaching match first. If we are grouped, we will follow the previous grouping. Everyone prepare quickly, and then put on reflective vests. Be careful not to get them wrong. They are in two colors,,,"

Holland ordered, and the team immediately dispersed to get ready.

"Why is there a training match all of a sudden~?! Shouldn't this morning be recovery training~?!"

Le Fu was puzzled while wearing a reflective vest.

"Maybe it's because the team leader is here, and I want us to show it to the team leader,"

Westbrook on the side replied and also put on his vest.

It seems that the two are getting closer.

But looking at Love's dark vest and Westbrook's orange vest, the two should not be on the same team.

Soon, after the preparations are over, the competition will begin.

The assistant coach picked up the whistle, ready to guest referee.

"Oh~!! So that's the case,,,"

Already in the training hall, the team leader who was sitting by the side of the field sighed as he looked at the lineups of both sides on the field.

"It turns out that these two teams are the starting lineup against the substitute lineup~!! It's an old strategy,"

The team leader looked at the starting players such as Love and Collison wearing dark jerseys, while the substitutes such as Westbrook wore orange jerseys and analyzed.

This kind of operation should be what many team coaches often do.

This can not only cultivate a tacit understanding among the starting five, but also allow the substitute players to play themselves and compete for the opportunity to start, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds.

Because it was a training match, there was no such thing as a jump ball, and the starting team served directly.

"Westbrook against Collison is also a very interesting matchup, haha~!!"

The team leader looked at the field and sighed with a smile.

"It would be nice if Bruce was by my side at this time,"
