I didn't want to fly away

Chapter 14 The deadly enemy in the same city, fight against DeRozan! (For collection, for follow-up)
"Lu Yi, can you still fight?"

"I can play, but I decided to save my physical strength for training after the game." Lu Yi joked to Holland.

卢易上半场才打了12分钟，已经14投10中，三分5投3中，砍下23分。

In fact, this score was intentional by Lu Yi. After scoring 20 points, he was always looking for opportunities to shoot three-pointers, and took a break after scoring 23 points.

As Collison told Lu Yi before, there is no need to pay too much attention to the invitational tournament, it is just to play anyway.

It will be like this for the next month, slowly accumulating confidence in the game, and learning how to better cooperate with teammates and how to run the tactics drawn by the head coach.

For Lu Yi, this level of competition is not as good as the Drew League.

The difference in strength between the two sides is too great. Except for Lu Yi, the worst players of the Bruins team are all three-star high school students. On the other hand, the strongest players of the Poseidon team are only three-star high school students.

Although the three-star high school students also have the exception of Westbrook, they are as strong as Westbrook, and they cannot lead the weak Poseidon team to defeat the strong Bruins team.

The game has only been played for 12 minutes, and the outcome of the game is already quite obvious.

Lu Yi didn't have the idea of ​​abusing dishes to score points, and felt that it was more meaningful to save his physical strength for after the game and use it to score various attributes.

"Okay, then you can rest first!" Holland patted Lu Yi on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Immediately afterwards, Holland replaced Lewy with Malcolm Lee.

In fact, the Bruins recruited a lot of excellent seedlings this year, and there are two five-star high school students alone.

In addition to Holiday, there is Malcolm Lee.

It is worth mentioning that Holiday is the No. [-] point guard among high school students in the United States, and Lee is the No. [-] point guard.

Meanwhile, Holland also recruited fourth point guard Jeremy Anderson.

The Bruins have already overflowed with talent in the guard line. Fortunately, Lee and Anderson are not short, have a certain offensive ability, and can play the second position.

Of course, there are many combo guards in the NCAA. Although it has become a common phenomenon of combo guards after entering the NBA, it has to be said that they are really good in the NCAA.

In addition to guards, Holland also recruited Jamison Morgan and Drew Gordon, two four-star high school post players.

It is also because of not strengthening the small forward point that Holland has considered letting Lu Yi play the third position.

However, the guards of the Bruins are mainly point guards, and shooting guards are not strong at all, so Lu Yi will also play shooting guards sometimes.

In short, Holland was originally planning to train the new army this season.

Because Lu Yi turned out to be born, he was forced to join the sequence of competing for the NCAA championship.

But no matter what, there are so many seedlings with good potential, and they still need to be cultivated.

Lu Yi also hopes that the Bruins will achieve results, so when this kind of rookie plays more and will not affect the outcome of the game, he will not take up too much playing time.

41 to 72, Lu Yi played a fairly satisfactory result in the NCAA first game.

The Bruins won the victory effortlessly. Lu Yi played 12 minutes and scored 14 points on 23 shots, which was also deeply remembered by UCLA fans.

In the days that followed, Lu Yi went to the classroom with Brother Xu, and occasionally encountered fans asking him for an autograph.

There are almost two invitational games a week, and time soon came to the end of December. The Bruins have played 12 games and won 8 consecutive victories at the beginning.

Since they are all playing against weak teams, a full victory is a matter of course.

But in the next ninth game, you need to pay attention.

The regular season of the PAC-10 has officially started, and the first game of the Bruins is against the rivals in the same city, the Southern California Trojans.

Last season, the Bruins were strong, and even against the Trojans led by OJ Mayo, DeMar DeRozan, Ty Gibson, and Daniel Hackett, they could gain certain advantages.

But this season, the Trojans only lacked one OJ Mayo, but the Bruins lost four main players, and their strength was seriously damaged.

On paper alone, the Bruins' reinforcement of Lu Yi cannot make up for the huge loss in the team's lineup.

And the Bruins want to go from the PAC-10 to the NCAA tournament, so the Trojans are a strong enemy that must be defeated.

Therefore, the next battle is quite critical.

Whether the Bruins can beat the Trojans at home determines how far the Bruins can go this season.

And this battle between rivals in the same city and long-standing grievances has also attracted the attention of a large number of fans in the Los Angeles area.

In order to attract more spectators to the game and attract more media attention, the PAC-10 officials specially assisted UCLA in transforming the Jackie Robinson baseball field into a temporary basketball court.

In this way, today's competition venue can accommodate up to 4 spectators entering the stadium to watch the game.

You must know that even NBA basketball stadiums can only accommodate [-] spectators at most, and they are usually not full.

But the NCAA's hot games usually use large venues of [-] to [-].

In March Madness, [-] to [-] venues have become the norm.

The scariest thing is that from the semi-finals to the finals, large venues with 7 to [-] people are usually used.

For Lu Yi, who had only watched NBA games on TV and the Internet before, and had never watched NCAA games, this was a bit unimaginable.

Even when playing at home, Lu Yi felt a little uncomfortable when he was warming up.

The body is very hot, and the mood is ups and downs. Lu Yi is a little worried. Will he play abnormally against DeRozan in the first game?
The stadium was not full today, but under the attention of nearly [-] fans, Lu Yi didn't know why he suddenly felt a little bit of timidity that shouldn't have appeared.

In the end, Lu Yi still wore a headband to tie up the hair on his forehead first, and by the way, it was also for the convenience of absorbing sweat later.

"Hey, the guy who is picking up the ball looks familiar. It can't be Vucevic, right? It seems to be true."

When Lu Yi took a peek at DeRozan, he found that there was a big man picking up the ball for the main players not far away.

After DeRozan joined the Bulls, Lu Yi heard from netizens that DeRozan and Vucevic are brothers.

I didn't expect this to happen.

I have to say that USC in recent years is really full of talents.

Fortunately, most of the NCAA's head coaches stick to the rules, habitually arrange seniority, and usually do not reuse freshmen.

Otherwise, if Lu Yi wants to win today's battle, it may be even more difficult to fight!
Without further ado, the game will start soon.

At the beginning, the Trojans sent Ty Gibson out to jump the ball. After Gibson was selected to the NBA, although he played as a power forward, he played a center in the NCAA.

It is not easy to find a seven-foot center in the NCAA, so inside players like Gibson are also very strong in the NCAA.

The Bruins' center is not high, but they are not as good as Gibson in terms of talent and strength.

Gibson helped the Trojans get the ball first.

Hackett advanced with the ball, and Collison stepped forward to press.

Lu Yi didn't go to the ball holder because he wanted to stare at DeRozan.

Collison is too short. If Collison is allowed to defend DeRozan, it is simply to give DeRozan warmth.

However, I never expected that Hackett passed the ball boldly and passed the ball directly to DeRozan in the backcourt.

Lu Yi realized that he stepped forward to steal, but DeRozan was already prepared, took the ball, and then directly accelerated the breakthrough.

At this time, the two were still two steps away from the three-point line, and Lu Yi had every chance to catch up with DeRozan and continue to defend DeRozan.

Lu Yi immediately caught up, just grabbed the defensive position, didn't want DeRozan to change direction and open a short distance, then stopped for a jumper, stepped on the three-point line and shot.

"No way? DeRozan will shoot this kind of shot?"

"Thank you for guarding me!" DeRozan smiled strangely when he saw the panicked Lu Yi.
