When the twelve players heard Coach Famar's words, the expressions on everyone's faces immediately split into three factions.

The first group is the old players, who have a happy look on their faces, as if they are about to finish a fun thing. It seems that it is their tradition to have a confrontation between old and new on the first day of training, at least this Famar coach.

Some veteran players are rookies for a year, and they have been bullied by the seniors who pressed them in the past, and today it is finally their turn to bully the newcomers!

The second group is naturally the newcomers who are still in a state of ignorance, and they have not even figured out where the toilets in the UCLA gymnasium are, and they are going to play against these seniors.

A few newcomers are not even familiar with each other's names, how to play with veteran players who have been teammates for at least a year?

In addition to these two expressions, there is a third one, and that is Gan Guoyang.

After listening to Coach Famar's advice, Gan Guoyang was neither happy nor panicked, he neither felt that this was a good opportunity to show himself, nor did he feel that such a game would make him lose face.

He just thinks that this Coach Famar's behavior is boring and old-fashioned.

Gan Guoyang knew that Famal just wanted to use this way to give the arrogant newcomers a disadvantage, so that the newcomers could understand that the competition in college was different from that in high school.

In this way, it will also be convenient for Famar to manage and train this group of players in the future.

Gan Guoyang disagrees with this, he thinks that basketball players should have a sense of arrogance and a momentum of not admitting defeat and daring to challenge.

In this regard, Bellman's influence on Gan Guoyang is very deep.

Bellman often shouted at Gan Guoyang, but he allowed Gan Guoyang to talk back, and even allowed Gan Guoyang to use his performance on the court to respond to his criticism.

On the one hand, Gan Guoyang respects Bellman's criticism and opinions, and on the other hand, he is by no means obedient, but has his own ideas and ways of playing.

These two mentors and apprentices are players and coaches, as well as friends off the pitch.

Therefore, the expression on Gan Guoyang's face was different from everyone else, he held his chin high, neither opened his eyes to look around, nor did he take a deep breath nervously, but his face was indifferent, and even had a trace of disdain.

His slightest disdain was particularly obvious among the crowd, and was immediately noticed by Famar.

"Mr. Gan, I don't know if you have any opinions on my arrangement?" Famar asked Gan Guoyang by name.

Although Gan Guoyang is not well-known among ordinary fans, he is already quite famous in the California basketball world, and many coaches and scouts who have watched him play think that he is extremely talented.

So those veteran players had more or less heard of Gan Guoyang, and as soon as Famar called Gan Guoyang's name, they immediately turned their heads to look at this unique yellow skin to see how he would answer.

"Dear Mr. Farmar, how to arrange the training of the players is the most important responsibility of the coach, and the duty of the players is to follow the instructions of the coach." Gan Guoyang replied to Famar without softness or hardness, neither saying good nor bad.

Famar touched a soft nail, and his face was visibly a little unhanging, and his somewhat squidward-like face was stretched longer.

"Very well, Mr. Gan, since you are willing to obey all arrangements, then I will arrange for you to sit on the bench. Of course, maybe you can be a good manager and direct the team's offense and defence. Famar said with a gloomy face.

Famar's arrangement made Gan Guoyang unexpected, and this time he was ruthless enough to not let him play!

"Okay, let's do some warm-up exercises, you five, get ready for the game." Famar didn't care about Gan Guoyang, who stood there and didn't know what to say, and began to arrange this extremely unbalanced confrontation between the old and the new.

Whether it's a veteran player who is happy in his heart or a newcomer who is apprehensive, they all take off their coats and start warming up.

Gan Guoyang, who was left to the side again, held back the fire in his stomach, so he had to sit on the bench and Erlang's legs to watch the game.

There are exactly five people on the rookie side, three defenders and two forwards, and no center; The veteran players happened to have a team of five fully positioned, and the extra one was the referee.

"Here you go, technical statistics book, and all the statistics of the game will be counted." Famar came to Gan Guoyang's side and threw him a notebook and a pen.

It seems that he didn't want Gan Guoyang to watch the game with peace of mind, so he started to do technical statistics work.

When he was in Palo Alto High School, he was often pushed to the bench by Bellman to do technical statistics, saying that it was to exercise his ability to analyze the situation on the court.

But in the past, he didn't go to training because he was too strong, but now he is punished for offending this coach.

After the warm-up, Famar gave each newcomer a red training vest with six numbers from 1 to 6, which was the logo jersey for the newcomers' training match.

Gan Guoyang was sent a No. 6, and looking at the No. 11 that he was not familiar with, he was naturally unhappy for a while, but whether he could play or not was still a problem, and it didn't matter if he thought about it.

This humble team training match is about to begin, and the newcomers are like cannon fodder who have just been sent to the battlefield, and their steps on the floor are a little vain.

"Look at your little bit of talent, it's not like you haven't played a game!" Gan Guoyang slandered in his heart, he felt that there seemed to be no teammates in this batch of newcomers who were particularly worth looking forward to.

Indeed, since John Wooden's retirement and the failure to defend the title in UCLA1976, the team's record has been worse year after year.

The team's poor performance naturally makes it difficult to attract talented players, and UCLA is not the same as North Carolina, Houston, Georgetown, and Kentucky, which are now in the limelight.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a yellow man, Qian Hui didn't understand the situation of college basketball in the United States, and Bellman didn't interfere with his college application, UCLA wouldn't have gotten such a player.

It's good now, it's not good to cherish such a player, and the coach also let him sit on the cold bench, which also laid the foundation for a series of things in the future.

"Beep!" With the whistle of the guest referee, the training match officially began.

The 7-foot-tall player Gan had seen on the team, Gray, easily outperformed the rookie power forward opposite in the jump shot – he was only 6-foot-9.

The UCLA first team went on the offensive.

UCLA University is best known for the UCLA tactics summarized by Meritorious Coach John Wooden, the core idea of this set of tactics is to mobilize the offensive enthusiasm of every player on the court when attacking, and create scoring opportunities for each player through constant cover and running.

Like other famous tactical ideas in history, UCLA tactics is not a collection of old-fashioned running routines, but a basketball philosophy and a strategic thinking.

He doesn't ask what kind of players he has to equip, but he uses the power of this tactic according to the characteristics of the players, so that each player can play a role.

In UCLA's history, John Wooden has been able to coach the most versatile center in the system, whether it's an offensive superstar like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Bill Wharton, the most versatile center.

Gan Guoyang has also heard of this for a long time, but it is a pity that the current coach of UCLA is no longer the legendary old man Wooden, but this Famar with a stinky face.

Famar seems to have little interest in the UCLA tradition of classic tactics, as Gan Guoyang can see from the positioning and running of the first team, which is a telescopic tactic that has been popular since 70 years*.

The classic stance of UCLA tactics is 1-4, with one person in the high post and four in the baseline position; The telescopic tactic, also known as the folded line tactic, is generally a 2-3 position, with two people in the high position and three people on the bottom line.

Although both focus on blocking, covering, and rapid transmission, UCLA tactics are richer and more diverse, and they are more flexible and mobile in offensive options; The line tactics focus on the coordination of routines to run out of space for jump shots or layups.

Therefore, UCLA tactics are more profound and difficult to use well, but once they are integrated, they are extremely powerful.

The telescopic tactics are simple and easy to learn, the routines are fixed, and they are easy to use, and they are best used to deal with rookies.

Sure enough, after the newcomers of the second team broke a pass of the first team and the ball went out of bounds, the first team used an empty-handed run to pull a huge space in the bottom corner.

The server sent the ball directly to the shooting guard who was crouching there, and the latter hit the ball with ease, 2-0.

"This group of stupid people, their height has already suffered so much, they are still so rigid in their marking, and they are led by the opponent's tactics to run." Gan Guoyang saw the characteristics of both sides clearly off the field.

The telescopic tactic is used to deal with the human marker, since its name is called "telescopic", it is to use the elasticity of the position to pull the defensive space, and the defender is easily overwhelmed by several covers, and finally exposes a huge loophole.

It was the turn of the rookie second team to attack, and with three defenders, they had no problem in the half.

But after falling into the position, they began to not know what to do, these five people had never trained together at all, and they didn't know what their respective characteristics were.

The point guard didn't know what to do with the ball, and finally he saw that the No. 4 power forward was in a position in the ribs, so he hoisted the ball into his hands.

However, the difference between the height of 6-foot-9 and the height of 7-foot-7 is really large, and under the cover of Gray's long arms, the No. 4 power forward arches hard in, and there is no chance at all.

He had no choice but to pass the ball out, but the cooperation was not tacit, and the ball was cut off by the small forward of the first team.

The first team launched a fast attack, and the second team had no sense of returning to defend at all, and was easily scored by the first team, 4:0.

“Shit！ I don't even know how to retreat, and I have to pull it down! Gan Guoyang muttered from the audience, except for the "Shit", everything else was in Chinese, so that no one else could understand it.

Although he only played two balls, the newcomers of the second team obviously lacked confidence and began to play randomly.

There's no way, a group of freshmen have never practiced together, and the lineup is not reasonable, how can they fight with the seniors of the university? You can only play your own ability, rely on a few simple blocks and runs, and rush in no matter who has the ball.

But the first team had a 7-foot-long man Gray in the three-second zone, and no one on the second team could contain his energy, so that he could focus on swatting flies and stun the rookies who rushed in one by one.

In this way, the two sides agreed on a 15-minute reduction of each half, and after 6 minutes of the first half, the first team had a 16-3 lead of 13 points.

The second team only relied on a forced layup and one of two free throws to score a total of three points.

"Cheer up, rookies, this is your first game, and I don't want to see you guys like that." Famar, who stands on the sidelines as a neutral, shouted that this training match is actually an important way for him to scout new talents.

By the time the first team scored two points again on a jumper from the horn position, the score had reached 18-3, a huge gap of 15 points, and the game was less than seven minutes into play.

"Okay, timeout, new players, you should take a break and think about how you can break this embarrassing situation, instead of doing nothing on the field." Famar also saw that if he continued to play like this, the confidence of the newcomers in the second team would be lost, and he didn't want to go too far, so he gave a timeout.

"Hey, buddy, what's wrong with you? They made it like this on the first day? Gan Guoyang watched the other five people go down the field dejectedly, and said in his mouth.

Gan Guoyang said this at this time, more like he was ridiculing and provoking, and the five people all glanced at him and ignored him, and sat on the bench one by one.

Seeing this, Gan Guoyang immediately brought some water from the side for them to drink, and then continued; "Don't be like that, buddy, I don't think they're anything great. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to make it to the NCAA round of 48! ”

"But at least they train together a lot, it's a tactical team, but what about us? What are we? Did you pull it from the street casually? Someone grumbled.

"Who says you were brought in from the streets? It's UCLA, and the fact that we're here shows we're good enough, doesn't it? We just need time to get used to it, and 7 minutes I think is enough. I still remember the first time I played a warm-up game, I couldn't even find a basket anywhere! But I quickly calmed down and used my defense and rebounding to show the opponent that I was not a rookie, that I was not a bully! Gan Guoyang uses his own experience to encourage others.

"So what are we going to do? We don't know each other at all, how do we fight? Someone asked again.

At this time, Gan Guoyang has subtly become the backbone of this rookie team.

"It's okay, we have a two-minute break to discuss the set-up together. Come on, I've got a book here... Oh, your stats are terrible...... That way, everyone can name what you do best, and I'll write it down after your number. Then we try to make the best of everyone. ”

Everyone looked at each other after listening to Gan Guoyang's suggestion, and they didn't know if it was useful for this guy to do this, but they had to be a dead horse doctor.

Gan Guoyang recorded everyone's strengths, and then assigned them tactics like a coach, especially defensive tactics, which was also taught by Bellman's words and deeds.

When people are lost and helpless, grabbing a straw will be regarded as a life-saving treasure, and now, for the five newcomers who have been hit by the heart, Gan Guoyang, a newcomer like them, has become the life-saving straw.

So, everyone is listening carefully to his arrangement.

Famar watched Gan Guoyang command the arrangement on the bench like a coach, and the green tendons on his head were exposed, and he was also a little angry in his heart.

The purpose of letting the newcomers and veterans play is to frustrate the enthusiasm of the newcomers, and then when they are most helpless, he will give them some guidance and arrangement, which will have an immediate effect, so as to establish his authority.

And this Gan Guoyang, not only gave him soft nails to eat in front of him, but now he is even going to be a coach on his behalf, is this to challenge his authority on the first day?

According to the scouting report, although this guy is a yellow race, he is an out-and-out basketball genius and may well be the hope of UCLA's revival.

Even so, Famal does not allow a newcomer to challenge himself.

"I'd like to see what you can do!"
