Chapter Seventy-Seven: Brown Bear VS Huskies
UCLA, located in the Pacific Twelve League, has been at the bottom of the rankings in recent years.
The other eleven teams are happy to come here to play practice games before the start of the tournament, on the one hand, to humiliate the basketball school with a glorious history, and on the other hand, to boost the self-confidence of their new players.
The prestige of the Bruins has also quietly become that of the Sick Bears.
Today, WACKER received an application for a friendly match from the University of Washington's Huskies.
The name of the smiling butcher is still very loud, so many teams are reluctant to come and touch his moldy head.
In previous years, there was only one friendly match after another, and it was invited by WACKER on its own initiative.
As the saying goes, if you don't work hard, you don't have a long eye, and Moses, the coach of this huskile team, happens to be a person who doesn't have a long memory if he doesn't get beaten.
In recent years, this average team has a better record than the Bruins, but it has only circled around the round of 64.
This year, Moses saw hope, as the team drafted a strong center, David, one of the most famous four-star high school students in the United States.
In this friendly match, he also played David, and wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the opponents of the same league.
The Husky players were given a cold reception as soon as they arrived in Los Angeles, and the buses that used to pick them up were not arranged at all because WACKER didn't bird them at all.
A group of tall players finally crowded into the airport bus, which also attracted a burst of ridicule from passers-by.
Moses viciously confessed to David, "Don't save face for a while, give them a hard lesson in the game!" ”
David, who is 2.11 meters tall, must keep his head down when he sits in the seat, otherwise he will hit the roof of the car, and he will also hold back the fire in his stomach all the way.
When they arrived at the UCLA campus, they were still greeted by a surprise, and they couldn't even get through to WACKER's phone.
Thankfully, Moses has been taking care of the university for a few years, and he soon took the players to the training hall on the campus bus.
When he walked past the bronze statue of Coach Nishiki, Moses actually spat out in an angry manner, "What are you angry about, the current Bruins are garbage!" ”
While the Husky players felt it was Moses' disrespect for the legendary coach, they had forgotten the illustrious history of UCLA and simply understood what the aging eight-foot-tall bronze statue meant......
John Wooden! He led UCLA to 10 national championships in 12 years, including a shocking 7-game winning streak and an even more terrifying 30-0 victory!
Not only did he represent an era that belonged to UCLA, but he also took college basketball to a whole new level.
The group entered the UCLA arena, and a dozen young people were training as usual on the basketball court surrounded by empty stands.
Seeing Moses come in with the players, Wacker didn't even say hello at the very least, first, he has this status, and second, he has also heard of Moses's character, which is completely the scum of a coaching world.
WACKER showed no interest in the friendly.
"Haha, Wacker, I really didn't expect you to be a coach on a big bad team like UCLA."
Moses sneered with rage, thinking that even if Wacker was nicknamed 'The Smiling Butcher', he wouldn't really do anything out of the ordinary.
But he thought too much, and the grumpy Wacker didn't care so much, and without saying a word, he grabbed the little man Moses by the collar and lifted him up like a chicken.
"What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly, come, repeat in my ear! ”
"Ahh I didn't say anything just now! Moses was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, because it was horrible to feel Wacker's smile so closely.
"Well, I thought you were greeting me, but no, it's really rude for such a big person!"
Wacker said with a sneer. When Moses heard this, he laughed and said hello, but in his heart he thought that it was not you who looked down on people first.
Letting go of Moses, Wacker clapped his hands, only to see that Wali and the others immediately put down their basketballs and ran neatly in front of him to stand in line.
"Haha, do you still think it's military training? Amusing! Moses sneered in his heart that he didn't understand that the core quality of a player is to obey the coach.
Not only the court, but two other people rushed over from the training room on the side, and in a few breaths, they sprinted half the court and joined the queue.
These two are naturally Zhang Yi and Robert, except for Esgallo, the Bruins are all here!
David's gaze swept arrogantly in front of them, and he cut it with disdain, which happened to be heard by Zhang Yi, who was closest to him.
When the two looked at each other, Zhang Yi's eyes were calm and full of strength, while David was very loose because of the light enemy.
Wacker also noticed the two, although David seems to be a good college player, but compared to Zhang Yi, the strength is still much worse.
Even which is strong and which is weak can be judged from a single look.
Wacker was still wondering whether to play Zhang Yi, but seeing his excited appearance, he immediately understood that not playing would suffocate him.
The two teams specifically explained that they will play a friendly match in accordance with the rules of the NCAA College League.
This is a far cry from the previous rules with the Tigers.
For example, the NCAA rules do not attack for 3 seconds, so Genji, a monster with rough skills, will not be used to eating a few fouls in a row.
The 30-second offensive time is also very suitable for falling into the position of the main offensive center or strong power forward, so although it was a small defeat to the Tigers before, if it was an official game, UCLA would lose even worse.
At the beginning of the game, David competed for basketball, and he allocated it to the PG of the Huskies, a third-year player who had experienced a loss and was of average strength.
His dribble was full of holes in Robert's eyes, so it was easy to steal.
Zhang Yi and Brad immediately kicked in, and the speed with which the Bruins switched from defense to offense seemed to scare the Huskies players.
Two bolts of lightning burst into the opponent's hinterland, followed up by Robert with a long pass, and the basketball smashed heavily on the rebound.
At this time, Zhang Yi flew up to catch it, his body drew a dazzling arc in the sky, and he slammed it with a bang!
Brad, on the other hand, ran to a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, which was the most accurate position he practiced.
That's basketball awareness, and in these days of training, WACKER even thinks the shooter has a good talent.
Everyone on the Bruins wasn't particularly excited, and Moses and everyone on the dog team covered their mouths in surprise.
Because of such amazing explosiveness, bounce and teamwork, is this still a big belly Bruins?
David was also stunned, because he knew very well that the team only had one strong point, and the few newcomers opposite were also very strong......
As soon as the ball was played, Moses called a timeout, he needed to slow down, and it was estimated that his players also needed to calm down.
"Coach, it's okay, the opposite center is a small man, I can score easily, you just have to pass half the court and give me the ball!"
David looked at his coach and teammates and said confidently.
And the atmosphere of the Bruins is extremely relaxed, "I guess they will focus on that David, Vali, can you do it?" ”
Robert said jokingly.
"Haha, I'll do my best!"
Vali is still the same shy, but the difference is that he has risen from T4 to T2 and has long since become the fourth strongest point in the team.
"I'll blow you up!" David said coldly as he rubbed shoulders with Vali.
It's just that he didn't expect a pair of big-eyed and cute Vali to suddenly answer, "I'll kill you!" ”
"If you have the ability, come!" David sat inside with Wall-E under the basket. At this time, the basketball was also successfully handed over to him.
Vali sinks his waist to withstand his opponent, although he suffers from height, but when it comes to strength, he is now not afraid of any inside line.
With the training strength that increases and increases every day, Wali's muscles are no longer softening, and David immediately felt this.
Can't get in?! David's huge size can't even eat Wall-E......
The time was almost over, and he had no choice but to take a step out and make a deformed hook hand.
"No way!" I heard Vali roar in anger and then flew up like a heavy cannon and dropped the basketball cap......
"Impossible!" Moses exclaimed, he was completely stupid, because the current brown bear team, which is all recruits, has been completely reborn, and the fish belly seems to have become a strong team?!
Huge questions filled Moses' mind, and he had no intention of directing his team......
