Chapter 458 Difficult warm-up journey

Dawei originally wanted to quit his job and return to China to take care of his parents, but he didn't expect that the general manager sincerely persuaded him to keep him, and he was promoted instead.

The manager of the Chinese market development branch of the project department is the new position that Dawei will take up soon.

Regarding this challenge, Dawei seemed a little hesitant and confused, but under Lan Shengli's persuasion, Dawei decided to try it out and stay in the fitness club.

"In fact, after the general manager told me, I suddenly had a long-lost motivation and passion to achieve this goal. I haven't felt that feeling for a long time,,,"

Dawei sighed, and it can be regarded as firm in his own mind.

"Okay, I've solved your big worry, I should go to sleep too,,,"

Lan Shengli said and stood up.

"Sleep so early~?!"

Dawei looked at his watch and questioned.

"Yeah, tomorrow is the first warm-up match. I have to fly to Philadelphia. It's far away, and I have to take the earliest flight, so I have to go to bed early and get enough energy~!"

Lan Shengli sighed.

"Well, it seems that you are going to start a business trip again,"

Dawei also sighed.

"Yeah, stop talking, I'm going to sleep,"

Lan Shengli said, and walked into his room.

"Hey,,, I'm sorry Mom, I can only make you tired for the time being,,,"

Thinking of the picture of his mother taking care of his father in Dawei's mind, he sighed.

Early the next morning, Lan Shengli got up earlier than Dawei, and had already gone out before Dawei's morning practice.

Lan Shengli first came to UCLA. After meeting with the team, the team took a bus to the airport.

"They seem to be from UCLA,"

"It should be, look at what is written on the team uniform,"

"That's freshman Kevin Love, he's so handsome~!"

A group of big men haunting the airport must have attracted everyone's attention. People watched and discussed with surprise.

After successfully passing the security check and changing the boarding pass, the team members boarded the plane and started their long-distance road trip.

"Ah~~, I need to catch up on a good sleep, I'm too sleepy,"

Lan Shengli yawned, tilted his head, said, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

This should be Lan Shengli's first time leaving Los Angeles since leaving Memphis and returning to Los Angeles.

After more than five hours of flight, everyone arrived in Philadelphia, a city with a strong heritage in American history.

Because the game was at [-] pm, and it was already [-] pm when UCLA got off the plane, plus the time to go to the arena, in fact, there was not much time left for the team to prepare.

"Why can't you come one day earlier~?! Could it be that the school's funds are tight again~?!"

Sitting on the bus to the arena, Holland looked at the team leader and questioned him.

"Well, yes, yes, after all, it's not convenient for us to find a venue here for training. Didn't you say it before, just treat this match as a vacation, "

The leader responded.

"I was just joking, every warm-up match is very important,,,"

Holland responded sternly.

After rushing to the arena and changing into training uniforms, the players rushed to the competition venue as if they were rushing ducks to the racks.

The time is already 03:30 in the afternoon, and there is only one and a half hours left before the official start of the game.

"I'm sleepy, tired, and tired, and I still have to play a game,,, I'm really convinced,,,"

Westbrook dribbled the ball listlessly, talking.

"Yeah, this kind of state is actually very easy to get injured. You have to pay attention, the season is about to start, and it's not worth getting injured at this time,"

Le Fu on the side moved his joints and talked.

It seems that the two are really inseparable.

"I really don't understand how the schedule is arranged,,, today in Philadelphia, and the day after tomorrow I will go to Las Vegas, this is really tossing,,,"

Lan Shengli on the sidelines looked at the schedule and sighed.

"Berkeley,,,"

Of course, when he saw the teams in the last warm-up match, Lan Shengli was stunned.

But Lan Shengli didn't think much about it, he just went to the court and became a temporary sparring partner, helping the players pick up the ball during shooting training.

"Everyone, pay attention to your movements. After all, this is just a warm-up match, and we have traveled a long distance to come here. I don't want to see anyone get injured. In short, pay attention to safety~!"

Before the start of the game, Holland reminded the players that Holland, who has always been very strict with his disciples, considered the "special nature" of this game and did not give any more instructions on technical and tactical matters. matter.

The game started soon.

Westbrook is still sitting on the bench, but after all, this is a warm-up match. Presumably as the game progresses, Westbrook should have a lot of playing time.

After the start of the game, although they were not at their real home court, the University of Pennsylvania played half of the home court in Philadelphia after all. Facing UCLA, the "long-distance trekking division", they were waiting for work. More energy, more momentum, more oppressive initiative.

"Yeah!!!"

"Yeah!!!"

"Yeah!!!"

As the audience cheered again and again, the University of Pennsylvania quickly established a double-digit lead.

The UCLA players seemed to be really out of shape, dribbling and hitting their feet out of bounds, making layups and walking violations, and even serving timeout violations.

And Holland didn't think about calling a timeout at all, and sat there as firmly as a mountain, without any change in his expression.

"I didn't expect that playing directly after a long trip would have such a big impact~!"

Lan Shengli, who was sitting in the back row of the team's coach's bench, watched the game and sighed at the huge score gap with the scoreboard.

"I just hope there won't be such a schedule after the official start of the next season~!"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

The game continued, and the rotation lineup gradually appeared.

"Maybe Westbrook can bring some energy to the team~!"

Lan Shengli looked at Westbrook, who was wearing the No. 0 jersey, and sighed.

"Swipe~!!"

"Tap, brush~!!"

Sure enough, Westbrook, who is full of energy at all times, showed a better competitive state as soon as he came up, with a mid-range and a breakthrough hit, helping the team score four points in a row.

"Crack clap clap!!!"

"Defend, defend, defend~!!!"

Westbrook clapped his hands, encouraging himself and reminding his teammates.
