I didn't want to fly away

Chapter 12 The Daily Life of the Team Bully (for collection, for further reading)
Time flies, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

With Lu Yi hitting five, he unbelievably won the rotation singles.Since then, Lu Yi has firmly established himself as the core of the Bruins team.

After the first training session, the Bruins quickly entered the stage of running in the lineup and rehearsing tactics.

As the Bruins of UCLA, no matter what coach comes to coach, the team must practice UCLA's offensive tactics.

UCLA's offensive tactics are not a single set of tactics, but a colorful and inclusive system, which can be said to be the origin of all things in basketball offensive tactics.

The triangle offense created by Tex Winter, and Pete Carlisle's Princeton system, both evolved from the UCLA offense.

Therefore, in the Bruins, players can play singles, or they can pass and cut.

Previously, Ben Holland mainly played civilian passes.

The team's offense is initiated by the point guard. Whether it is Jordan Farmar or Darren Collison, they are the absolute core of the team.

Just like last season, the Bruins' leader is Love and the second leader is Westbrook, but the core of the team's tactics is still Darren Collison.

But not this season!Because of the team's starting five in the semi-finals, only Darren Collison was left.

Not only the center Love, the shooting guard Westbrook, but also the two strikers, Mu Tie and Josh Shipp, signed up for the draft.

Although the Bruins currently have four players who played starters last season in addition to Darren Collison, these four players did not stay in the final lineup of the NCAA tournament.

In other words, the strongest lineup of the Bruins last season, except for Darren Collison, has left UCLA.

UCLA's strength has been greatly damaged. If they want to achieve good results this season, they can only break through and then stand up. They changed their style of play at the beginning of the season and established a star singles system with Lu Yi as the core.

After learning that Lu Yi unexpectedly completed a one-on-five rotation singles, Holland knew better what to do next season.

In addition, Holland has also heard about Lu Yi's ambition to lead the Bruins to the championship.

Holland knows how much Lu Yi has improved the Fury in the Drew League. Although Lu Yi did not help the Fury win the Drew League championship, Lu Yi is the regular season MVP of the Drew League.

This alone is enough for Holland to put everything on Lu Yi.

In fact, from the fact that Lu Yi was able to win in one-on-five, it can be seen that the current Bruins team is indeed good enough.

If Lu Yi is not allowed to carry the team away, most of the Bruins this season will not be able to go far.

But at this time, Holland was in danger of dismissing get out of class at any time.

Therefore, Holland's dead horse was treated as a living horse doctor, and he overturned the team basketball strategy that had been played for five years.

However, when the Bruins play superstar basketball next, they don't just let Lu Yi play singles with the ball.

Collison is also the core of the team, and many tactics are initiated from Collison.

Lu Yi provided outside shooting threats to attract defenses, and Collison organized the team in series to create more opportunities for the inside.

To put it simply, in the new season, the Bruins are strong enough outside, so give the strikers and inside more chances to cut and roll.

Last season, with Love attracting defense in the interior, he ran more outside, cut more, shot more open spots, and broke into the penalty area to score more, so Westbrook hit it all at once.

This season, the Bruins have to create a forward or inside scoring point, which can be scored in regular time.

At the critical moment, Lu Yi stood up to cover the bottom line and solved everything with singles.

Of course, it's hard to say whether it will work if you imagine it like this.

Superstar basketball is rare in the NCAA.

Holland is also the first time coaching a college basketball team to play this way.

Fortunately, judging from his performance in the training match, Lu Yi is really too strong.

Lu Yi solved most of the problems with his personal strength alone.

This is also the fundamental reason why Holland can safely and boldly implement the current set of tactics.

Hand the ball to Louie, that's it!
"Darren, how has your defense improved recently? Let me test you."

Just after the training, Lu Yi found Collison again.

When Collison saw Lu Yi walking in front of him, his face was livid.

"I'd better leave the captain to you, and you...don't bother me." Collison said depressedly.

Lu Yi often finds Collison to play singles, and Collison really can't bear it.

Who is like Lu Yi on the Bruins?There is a camel in the body!
After getting along for a period of time, everyone in the Bruins team knew that Lu Yi could be blamed individually.

It seems that there will never be a day when the physical strength is exhausted!
There is one thing to say, the battery life is too strong!Comparable to the current King of Los Angeles!
And Lu Yi's singles ability is indeed the best in the team, let alone a small guard like Collison, it is really a dream to guard Lu Yi.

Besides, Lu Yi's defense is quite disappointing.

For more than half a month, Lu Yi, the team bully, used the excuse of testing everyone's defense all day long to bully all the players in the team, and Collison was the object of Lu Yi's care.

These days, Collison doesn't even have time to pick up girls.

Collison was miserable and under a lot of pressure during training.

Recently, Collison thought about it carefully. Lu Yi focused on him, probably because he is the captain of the team.

This is a responsibility and an honor.

Lu Yi seems to have become the boss of the Bruins team, and now he is short of the title of captain.

But the captain was appointed by Holland, and Holland didn't say anything, so Collison had to abdicate.

"What do you think of me? I'm here to help you for your own good.

You think I covet your captain?

Well, now I'm the captain!how about you?you have nothing.

Next you will participate in the draft, you are not the captain of the Bruins, who knows you?

You don't score on extra free throws, are you sure you can score in double figures?

Now the core of the tactics is me, how many assists can you get per game?How many rebounds.

Senior year, you have no potential!Have you thought about the consequences of data decline?

If we don't win the championship, do you think you will lose? "

"I said it a long time ago, we want to win the championship!

We were all seniors, none of us had potential.

We can only prove our strength in the NCAA finals.

Only by winning the championship can we become a blockbuster and let all 30 NBA teams see us.

In the NCAA tournament, we must rely on a more stable defense to successfully limit the opponent's scoring time and time again and achieve the final victory.

The effect of defense can be seen!
We can only limit the offense of those talented players who will also participate in the draft next year and beat them time and time again.

We will be more valued in the eyes of the management of major NBA teams and in the eyes of major sports media.

So, Darren, stop being lazy!You are the captain of the Bruins, and you have to take the lead in strengthening the defense.

I'm here to help you, I'm here to help the Bruins win the championship.

And you rookies, give me some energy, defense is not a matter of one person, we are a team. "

Hearing what Lu Yi said, Collison lowered his head in shame and said, "Lu Yi, I misunderstood you. You are a great leader!
However, I need a break right now.

You have to know that people are different, our physical strength is not as strong as yours. "

"Darren, the regular season is about to start, why can't you make more efforts to make yourself and the team better?"

Lu Yi wanted to continue to fool Collison and push the team to the end.

However, Collison was not fooled: "The first ten games at the beginning of the season were played by weak teams in the second- and third-tier leagues, and it is basically impossible to lose.

We still have two months, Lu Yi, you are too impatient.

Now we need to focus on studies and earn as many credits as possible.

We will increase the amount of training until January next year.

I've been playing for three years and I know when to do things. "

Collison, a bona fide fourth grader, taught Louie a lesson.

NCAA Division I teams usually have about 30 games per season, most of which are within the league.

Like the Pac-10 Conference where UCLA is located, there are only 18 regular season games in the league (one home and one away).

The top eight teams in the league play a single-elimination playoffs, competing for NCAA tournament spots and division championships.That is, the division champions and runners-up will play three games, the semi-finals will have two games, and the quarter-finals will play one game.

The remaining ten or so games are all invitational matches at the beginning of the season.

The invitational tournament usually invites weak teams from the second and third tier leagues.

Weak teams need to touch porcelain with strong teams to increase their popularity, and strong teams will run into their lineups in the new season to give players more confidence.

For a veteran like Collison, the invitational tournament for the next month or so is just for fun, so don't worry about it at all.

As for things like scraping data in the invitational tournament, it's actually not necessary.

The major sports media volleyball player draft picks refer to the data of the division's regular season. Of course, the single-game performance of the division playoffs and NCAA championships is also very important.

Those invitational games are played like Jordan, the regular season is played like Kobe, and the playoffs are played like Stackhouse, but the draft price will decline instead.
