Chapter 74: The Great Blood Exchange
Meng Xiaohao's comeback in the first game led UCLA to victory, which greatly boosted UCLA's morale, and UCLA's future path became very bright in an instant.
UCLA Locker Room ......
"Xiaohao, I didn't expect the first game to be so strong!" Rivers smiled and patted Meng Xiaohao's shoulder, "I thought you would have to get used to it for a while!" ”
Meng Xiaohao smiled "hehe", "Actually, it's not that powerful!" ”
Listening to Meng Xiaohao's words, Rivers also smiled, "You are a humble person, you just admit that you are in good shape this time, and it will be over, you have to fix those useless things!" ”
Everyone burst into laughter in an instant, and the whole locker room was filled with laughter.
But in the locker room, there was one person who wasn't smiling, and that was the head coach of UCLA, Coach Chris, who was holding his chin with his hand and thinking about something......
At this time, Sarid noticed Coach Chris's expression and came to Coach Chris's side......
"Coach, what's wrong? Looking at your serious face, is there anything that doesn't go well? ”
Just look at Coach Chris waved his hand, "My son thinks about some questions, and there is nothing unhappy, don't worry!" ”
Sarid saw that Coach Chris said this, so he didn't say anything, patted Coach Chris on the shoulder, and returned to the crowd.
At this time, Meng Xiaohao also paid attention to Coach Chris's strangeness, he saw Sarid go in the direction of the coach, and he also knew that Sarid also found out.
When Sarid came back, Meng Xiaohao looked at Sarid, and saw Sarid spread his hands, saying that Coach Chris didn't say anything, which made Meng Xiaohao very incomprehensible.
What was it that made Coach Chris's expression so serious that he couldn't ask, Meng Xiaohao was very puzzled.
But Meng Xiaohao's doubts quickly dissipated, and the laughter of his teammates made Meng Xiaohao quickly forget about it......
……
Day 2......
Meng Xiaohao, who came to the training hall for early training, felt a subtle feeling, and he always felt that something big was going to happen.
Since Meng Xiaohao came to UCLA to officially start training with the UCLA players, Coach Chris has always been the latest in the team, and the players have almost warmed up before he came, and the time to come is particularly accurate.
But today, when Meng Xiaohao came to the training hall, he found that Coach Chris had already come to the training hall, Meng Xiaohao was one of the UCLA players who came to the training hall very early, and he didn't expect Coach Chris to come earlier than him......
Meng Xiaohao always felt that something big was going to happen......
Sure enough, as Meng Xiaohao expected, after all the UCLA players arrived, Coach Chris gathered them all......
Just look at Coach Chris coughing his throat, "Ahem, you don't need to train for your morning training today, I'll say two things." ”
Hearing this, the UCLA players all looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine Coach Chris was selling in the gourd this time, and what could make Coach Chris not let them train early.
"Let's talk about our bench lineup!" Coach Chris said lightly.
"You substitutes...... Can you do something and don't contribute to the work, isn't it you? Coach Chris said, his eyes on the substitutes.
"Take yesterday as an example, I don't understand, why did Meng Xiaohao and Sured give you an eight-point lead that they just beat and lost? Aren't they also substitutes? ”
"It's not like I haven't given you a strategy, why do you lose points every time you play on the court? Against the opposite bench, why do you keep losing points? Are they too strong or are you too weak? ”
Coach Chris's words made many substitutes bow their heads.
The current situation of UCLA is that the starting lineup is indeed very strong, Meng Xiaohao and Sarid have very strong offensive ability, similarly, Sabonis and Sarid are also very good in defense on the inside, Li has an excellent outside shot, and Saviz's transmission is also very good, it can be said that UCLA's starting lineup is top in the college league.
According to relevant media reports, according to the statistics of the American University League, UCLA's bench lineup has been in a negative stage since the start of the game.
Remember, from the beginning of the game to the present, as long as you play, you will lose, and the advantages created by the starting lineup will be lost little by little.
In fact, Coach Chris has noticed this problem for a long time, but because of Meng Xiaohao's sudden injury, UCLA's combat power plummeted, so Coach Chris has been busy changing tactics to make up for this shortcoming, so he didn't care about it.
But now, Meng Xiaohao has returned to the team, and now, it's time to bring this matter to the table.
Yesterday, Coach Chris was thinking about this......
Now in the UCLA bench lineup, only Rivers can get his hands on it, although Rivers has average ball skills, but relying on his excellent court analysis and rationality, he has also sat in the starting lineup for several years. Now, a senior veteran, he has become the last fig leaf for UCLA's bench lineup.
"It's been a long time since the media reported about your poor record, so why don't you know to repent? Is it invisible? If you can't see it, I advise you to buy a mobile phone, it's the information age, you know? ”
"Before, it was because of Meng Xiaohao's injury, and the team even had a lot of problems with the starting lineup, so I didn't bother to pay attention to you, but that doesn't mean I don't care about you in the future, you know?"
Meng Xiaohao couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Coach Chris like this below, he had never seen Coach Chris like this.
All the substitutes lowered their heads, and no one dared to raise objections, first, there was no reason, what Coach Chris said was indeed the truth, and second, no one dared, and now Coach Chris showed momentum, which made everyone feel scared.
After talking for a long time, Coach Chris finally stopped his lesson, sighed, and said lightly, "This matter can't be solved if it is not solved, let's change people, whoever plays well will be on it!" ”
Although Coach Chris said it lightly, for UCLA's bench lineup, this is undoubtedly a thunderbolt, and Coach Chris's words mean that the entire bench lineup will be replaced.
Coach Chris looked at the players of the bench lineup below who were a little overwhelmed, and said again, "Time is pressing, let's do it this afternoon, Rivers doesn't need to, the rest of the people, be sure to show your best!" Let's disperse! ”
Before he could finish speaking, Coach Chris walked out of the training hall, leaving the overwhelmed players behind.
Seeing Coach Chris walking away, Meng Xiaohao let out a sigh of relief, "My God, that atmosphere just now was too serious, I felt like I was going to kill someone!" ”
Sarid also wiped a cold sweat, "Oh my God, such a depressing atmosphere makes me scared too, and this is the first time I've seen Coach Chris like this." ”
At this time, Rivers walked over with a pale face, "What are you afraid of, it's me who has lingering palpitations!" ”
"Don't you have to go?"
"That's scary!" As he spoke, Rivers let out a sigh, "Thank God for not having me, Coach Chris hasn't been so angry in a long time!" The last time was when I first joined the team, and at that time our record was even falling to the bottom of the division, and Coach Chris finally couldn't bear it anymore and made a big change. ”
"It seems that Coach Chris is really like Reed said, it's scary to get angry!" Meng Xiaohao smiled bitterly twice, "Fortunately, I played well, I escaped, and I didn't start anything!" ”
At this time, Sarid suddenly smiled, looked back at the substitutes who were not far away because they had to test in the afternoon, and sneered twice......
"This time, there's a good show to watch!"
