Chapter 495
UCLA's second game of the season has begun, and its opponent is Riverside, which is also part of the University of California system.

This team is still a lot worse than the previous Kansas State University.

After all, Kansas State University still has Beasley to support the scene. This Riverside campus is definitely the bottom team in the NCAA.

However, considering that UCLA lost the opening game before, it is also a question whether the team can make timely adjustments.

"UCLA, come on~!!"

"UCLA, come on~!!"

Although it was an away game, there were still some UCLA fans at the scene.

After all, UCLA's appeal is there, and it's still in California. This game is no less than half a home game.

After the start of the game, with Collison's go-between and Love's huge advantage inside, the team quickly established a double-digit lead.

However, unlike the last game, when the score was leading, the bench and the coaching staff were in a very relaxed state. This time, the entire UCLA bench looked very serious. Looking at the game, it seemed that they were not in the game. The moment it's over, the team won't take it lightly.

"Duang~!!!"

After Westbrook came on the field here, he directly used his personal ability to break the ball in the opponent's defender's hand and completed a one-handed dunk.

This time Westbrook did not vent wantonly, but immediately ran back to defend, and the state of the whole game has always been very tense.

"The state of the players in this game has improved a lot compared to the previous game. Maybe it's because the opponent is weaker. But if the team can perform like this in the last game, I'm afraid they have already won. The next game,,, "

Lan Shengli watched the game and sighed.

"Hey, I won't mention those useless things,"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

UCLA had already led by 20 points in the first half.

"In the second half of the game, everyone must continue to focus and not give the opponent any chance to counterattack. Absolutely not~!! We must show the strength of our game~!!"

In the locker room during the halftime break, Holland still dared not relax to remind him.

Maybe this is called "Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of well ropes".

In the second half of the game, under UCLA's high-intensity oppressive offense and defense, Riverside quickly "surrendered" and replaced a substitute player, and UCLA immediately replaced the end player of the bench.

Most of the second half also became garbage time.

In the end, UCLA beat their opponents by 34 points in the away game and won their first victory of the season.

Although they won, the team members didn't show any joy at all. Perhaps because they knew that their opponents were not strong, such a victory was actually not happy.

But this victory should strengthen the players' confidence and make up for the regret left by the previous defeat in the opening game.

"If the team can maintain this state, then the opening game will not be lost in vain,,,"

Lan Shengli also sighed.

After the team ended the Riverside game, they did not return directly to UCLA. Instead, they went to the next away game and flew to the distant Washington, D.C., to challenge the team there-Georgetown University.

This team should be the strongest challenge UCLA has encountered so far this season.

After a half-day flight, the team arrived in Washington.

After coming to Georgetown University, the team came directly to the basketball hall.

Although the journey is exhausting, Holland's requirements for the players are different from those at the beginning of the season.

He needs the players to adapt to the away game after such a long journey.

"Allen Iverson, the "answer" came from here~!!!"

Lan Shengli walked in the arena, looking at the introductions of some NBA players who walked out of here and sighed in the corridor.

Lan Shengli stood in front of the display case of the jerseys and sneakers that Iverson had worn, watching.

The shortest and most amazing No. [-] pick in NBA history went out from here.

"It's all legends,,,"

Lan Shengli continued walking, watching, and sighing.

Looking at the dazzling display cabinets in the corridor, you will know how many NBA players this school has cultivated and what a glorious history they have had.

In addition to "Answer" Iverson, there are also "tough guy" Alonzo Mourning, African mountain Mutombo, and "King Kong" Ewing, all of whom went out from here.

Therefore, although Georgetown University has a top guard like Iverson, overall, the school is more rich in centers.

Today's Georgetown University also has a player with excellent physical condition and great potential to get closer to those Hall of Fame-level players-Roy Hibbert.

A black center with a height of 2 meters.

"The opponent's key player is the center Hibbert,"

At the UCLA pre-game preparation meeting here, coach Holland also mentioned this person.

"I believe that players like Collison and Westbrook should already know him better. After all, this Hibbert is already a senior player, and he has no secrets to speak of,"

Holland continued.

"But for Love and other freshman players, you must prepare well, especially the inside,,,"

Holland continued to remind.

"Bru, are the video clips ready~?!"

Holland turned his head and asked about Lan Shengli, who was buried in the equipment and was busy.

"It's almost ready,,,"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Okay, I just edited some of Hibbert's highlights last season, because Hibbert was almost full-time last season, so there are still quite a lot of edited content, everyone can take a good look,"

Not long after, Lan Shengli said and put down the play button.

"Well, it's hard work,"

"Hibert's offense is characterized by,,,"

Holland responded and began to analyze.

While operating the equipment, Lan Shengli listened to Holland's explanation, which could be regarded as letting him know more about Hibbert, the ace player in the team.

"This height is really terrifying. Being in the NCAA is like Yao Ming's presence in the NBA~!!"

Lan Shengli sighed as he watched the clip.

Indeed, in the clips, Hibbert often ignores the existence of the opponent's center forward, and directly gets to a deep position, shoots the ball almost without leaving the ground, or hooks, and the ball can always hit.

"Not to mention, the details of some movements and the appearance, there are indeed some shadows of Yao Ming~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

"Georgetown, we must win~!!"

"Georgetown, we must win~!!"

While speaking, the game between the two sides is about to begin.
