Chapter 561 UCLA's Strength
"The opponent obviously underestimated our ability, let's take advantage of the strong start and establish more leading advantages~!"

Rider University's head coach ordered during the timeout.

"On the offensive end, continue to let Jason take the ball. Today he is in a good state, so let Jason play as much as possible. There is no need to make any changes on the defensive end. We have done a good job and we must continue to let them fall into a single game. Middle~!! Destroy their rhythm~!!"

The head coach continued to exhort the players.

"If we can defeat UCLA today, then we will be the seed team, and we will be famous all over the United States~!!"

The head coach continued to encourage the players.

Indeed, if they can make some upsets in a competition like March Madness, they will surely gain a great reputation.

Moreover, this single-game elimination system also adds a lot of chance, and there will be upsets every year, so March Madness is such an attractive game.

The game continued, and UCLA relied on a chance of mistaken hit, and Love picked up the ball and scored the ball under the basket.

"Huh~huh~huh~, God, why am I so sleepy,,,"

"Why does the opponent have ten players, what, what is going on~?!"

The eyelids of Westbrook, who was back on defense here, were about to close, and there was also a double image in front of his eyes.

The state of the whole person on the court is like drinking too much.

"Could it be that altitude sickness finally happened~!?"

Westbrook maintained a trace of calmness, analyzing the condition of his body.

"Coach Holland, Westbrook seems to be a bit overwhelmed, just to be on the safe side, it's better to replace him~!"

Lan Shengli, who observed meticulously, immediately reminded Holland.

"Hey~~"

Holland sighed, stood up, waved to the backup point guard on the bench, and signaled for a substitution on the rostrum.

Perhaps in such a passive situation at the beginning, Holland didn't want to make such a passive substitution, but he had no choice but to do so in order to protect the players.

UCLA soon had a foul in the defensive round and got a chance for a substitution.

"No, no, no~!! It's only been playing for less than 5 minutes, why did you change me~?!"

Seeing that he was going to be replaced, Westbrook looked at Coach Holland on the sidelines very puzzled and asked.

"This is the team's decision, you need to rest for a while~!!"

Holland said.

"I have no problem with my physical fitness, I'm not tired, I don't need to rest, it's too early~!"

Westbrook still refused to end.

"Don't make trouble, get down~!"

Holland was furious and said in a harsh tone.

"Hey~~"

After all, Westbrook was still afraid of Holland's power, shook his head, and left helplessly.

Although the body has already experienced altitude sickness, Westbrook still wants to continue fighting. This spirit is commendable, but this behavior is indeed too dangerous.

"It doesn't matter, this time off is just to perform better in the future. You have altitude sickness yourself, so you must calm down to buffer your physical energy. After you get used to this feeling, it will not be too late for you to return to the court. Besides, In your current state, you basically have nothing to contribute, "

Lan Shengli was behind Westbrook, persuading him.

Westbrook listened and didn't answer, just watching the game intently.

"Huh~, huh~, I haven't played for too long, why are you so tired,"

"Phew, huh, my legs are so heavy,"

"Is this the altitude sickness~?!"

"I feel powerless,"

Not only did Westbrook have such a situation, but other players on the field also had problems.

"Clang clang~!!"

"Clang~, clang~!"

The sound of hammering on both sides is also one after another, and Thompson is no longer good. Although he can still run and grab, he can't convert it into points, which is very tricky.

However, UCLA still relies on the characteristics of a stronger team and more players to catch up with the points difference.

The first half of the game ended quickly, and the two sides fought to a 39-level tie.

It is also a relatively low score.

"Although it is a tie now, we obviously have a bigger advantage in the second half~!"

Lan Shengli walked towards the locker room while talking to Holland beside him.

"Oh~?! Where's the advantage~?!"

Holland asked.

"I just took a look at the playing time of the players on both sides. The opponent's main players all played much more time than us. Under the conditions of the plateau, it is impossible to recover just by relying on the intermission. , In the second half, the physical fitness of several of their main players will be a very big problem, and we have used more frequent substitutions to keep the physical fitness of the players very good. After the intermission, they should be able to recover to 7. , about 8%, plus the team has adapted to the plateau environment, so our advantage in the second half will be very big~!!"

"Hey, you two, pass by, the dressing room is here~!!"

Another "caught off guard" analysis by Lan Shengli made the two even forget to enter the locker room.

"I hope so~!!"

Holland nodded, sighing.

"I thought I could win the game in the first half, but I didn't expect it to be delayed until the second half. It seems that fighting on this plateau is really troublesome. I hope I won't come to this kind of place again in the future,,,"

Holland shook his head, sighing.

"I'm completely fine, I've fully adapted to the altitude sickness, let's let it go in the second half~!"

In the locker room, Westbrook said eagerly.

It seems that physical fitness has indeed recovered well.

After all, Westbrook only played less than 10 minutes in the first half.

After the second half of the game started, it was exactly as Lan Shengli expected.

Maybe in the first 5 minutes, Rider University still had the last shred of physical energy to fight, but gradually, the feet of the Rider University players seemed to be in shackles, unable to run or walk.

UCLA, on the other hand, is like a plateau team, very active.

"Tap, brush~!!!"

"Swipe~!!"

Westbrook and Collison used their speed advantage to get to the basket and score consecutively.

"Damn it, it was almost sealed, why can't it run~?!"

Thompson also looked very angry.

"Swipe~!!!"

Not only is the inside blooming, Love is also able to hit three-pointers from the outside.

Because the players from Rider University were sluggish, while UCLA was full of energy, the game gradually became one-sided.

UCLA is finally making an effort.
