I didn't want to fly away

Chapter 8 The core of the team (for collection, for further reading)

When Holland heard that Lu Yi was a senior, he felt a little melancholy.

It's not that he regrets that Lu Yi can only play for him for one season, but that he is depressed about why he failed to discover Lu Yi last year.

Last year, the Bruins made it to the NCAA Final Four, but unexpectedly they met the Memphis Tigers led by Derrick Rose.

Although there are fewer explosive seeds in the semi-finals, they are evenly matched with Rose.

But the Memphis Tigers also have an ace shooting guard second only to Rose-Chris Douglas Roberts.

Even though the Bruins have the talented Love, Love's performance on the offensive end is average. As for the other starters and rotation players, it doesn't help much.

It can be said that the Bruins lost to the Tigers lacked a strong point of outside attack.

If the Bruins have Lu Yi a year in advance, it is impossible to be beaten by the Tigers helplessly.

"If we had Lu Yi last year, we might have won the championship." Holland thought based on Lu Yi's excellence.

But no matter how I think about it now, it doesn't help.

In the following season, the overall strength of the Bruins will be worse than last year.

Even though most of the veterans in the team choose to stay on the team under his persuasion, the players who stay on the team cannot be said to be outstanding in terms of talent or strength.

Also a veteran, Holland would rather the rookie Lu Yi who has not yet scored a point for the Bruins.

After all, there are some things that can be seen without a formal game.

A truly outstanding talent is obvious at a glance.

……

It is said that after Holland came into contact with Lu Yi, many things were quickly put on the agenda.

If Lu Yi was not a student at UCLA, Holland had been in contact with Lu Yi before, and he was suspected of illegal recruitment.

But Lu Yi is already a student at UCLA, so everything will follow the normal process.

In order to make Lu Yi a part of the Bruins as soon as possible, Holland quickly squeezed out a full scholarship to buy Lu Yi's support.

Although the new NCAA season has not yet started, Holland has already opened up some training rooms and equipment for Lu Yi in the John Wooden Center in advance.

Usually in the new NCAA season, team training will not be opened until October, and the regular season will not be held until November.

During the team training period, the players' weekly training time is also regulated, usually the lower limit is 15 hours, and the upper limit is 25 hours.

Of course, the players themselves will use their spare time for extra training.Lu Yi's current situation is a personal training.

For sports students, they usually only need to get a minimum of 12 credits per week, that is, 12 hours of courses, and the rest is used for training.

Even if some students are scumbags, there will be a dedicated coaching team behind the team to help make up lessons.

But in this way, some personal training time will be wasted.

As soon as Lu Yi finished the summer semester, he hurriedly threw himself into the training of the autumn semester.

Since the team's training camp has not yet started, Lu Yi can train on his own, improve his skills, and maintain his physical condition, but he does not receive training subsidies.

NCAA players do not get paid for playing NCAA, but they have scholarships, ranking bonuses, living allowances, school accommodation subsidies, and health and accident insurance.

Among them, living allowances are small bonuses that players can receive during team training and competitions, which is equivalent to nutrition expenses for training and competitions.

Because the fall semester has already started, this means that Lu Yi can get a scholarship every week, which is enough to maintain his daily life.

So, I didn't pay too much attention to personal training without hard money.

Training every day, and seeing one or two points of attributes added to the panel every now and then, Lu Yi enjoyed it very much and never tired of it.

"Body: strength 84, agility 56, constitution 96, spirit 49, free attribute point 0, resettable attribute point (1 soft sister coins)."

"Shooting: 87 at the basket, 41 at the mid-range, 80 at three-pointers, 45 at fixed points, 0 at free attribute points, and resettable attribute points (1 soft sister coins).

Ball control: 72 dribbles, 68 breakthroughs, 24 passes, 36 catches, 0 free attribute points, resettable attribute points (1 soft sister coins).

Defense: 60 steals, 17 blocks, 32 confrontations, 19 help defenses, 0 free attribute points, resettable attribute points (1 soft sister coin).

Rebounds: 31 frontcourt, 58 backcourt, 12 card slots, 22 pre-judgments, 0 free attribute points, resettable attribute points (1 soft sister coin). "

After the baptism of the Drew League, coupled with the hard training this summer, Lu Yi's attributes have increased considerably.

However, because some attributes were added by the previous washing points, there was no targeted training, and there was a downward trend. Fortunately, there were not many declines.

If it wasn't for the fact that the new NCAA season hadn't started yet, Lu Yi was going to wash it up a little bit to make him more aggressive.

Now, the time is not yet ripe.

Anyway, there is still a month of training time, Lu Yida can try to work harder, and then he will soar into the sky through washing points.

……

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and the UCLA Bruins finally ushered in the first training camp of the new season.

The team's first training camp is also an opportunity for players to get to know and communicate with each other in the new season.

After two or three training camps, after everyone recognizes the people, the team will formally establish the core of the team, and then try to match the lineup and adapt the tactics.

This is also the reason why the team's training camp will start more than half a month earlier than the regular season of the new season.

"I'm your head coach Ben Howland, everyone should be familiar with me, so I won't introduce myself too much.

This is Phil Soros, the team's chief assistant coach. In the days to come, Phil will give you a lot of help.

This is David Mynes, the team strength and conditioning coach.

This is Chris Lane, the team's shooting coach.

Who is this……"

Holland introduced his assistant coaching team to the players one by one. Although many veterans of the Bruins knew the job and responsibilities of each assistant coach team, they still listened carefully.

Obviously, Holland's prestige in the Bruins is not small.

"Okay, let's introduce the players.

Fourth grade -- Darren Collison, the team's core point guard.

Darren is not only the team starter, but also the captain of the team.

If you're having trouble dealing with anything, whether it's basketball or life, you can go to Darren. "

After Holland introduced Collison, the captain of the team, Collison also took the initiative to stand up and say something.

"I am Darren in the fourth grade, and I will fight alongside you for the next year."

"Okay, the next one. Fourth grade-Lu Yi, the team's core shooting guard."

Holland named Lu Yi, and Lu Yi immediately became the focus of the audience.

When Collison heard that Lu Yi was also a core member, he was dumbfounded: "Besides me, the Bruins actually have core players?"

Zhu Holiday was also stunned: "Didn't Coach Holland agree to establish me as the core of the team?
I am the No. [-] point guard among high school students in the United States, and I want to be a substitute for Darren Collison?
And where did this guy named Lu Yi come from?
fourth grade?Has he been injured for three years?The Bruins don't have this guy at all, do they? "

Not only Holland was surprised where Lu Yi came from, but the veterans of the Bruins team were also puzzled, how could there be a fourth-year airborne Bruins team?

Although the NCAA is that the older you are, the more experienced you are in playing.

But it is too puzzling for a player who was completely unknown before to suddenly parachute to the UCLA Bruins as the core of the team.

How can Lu Yihe De be the core of the Bruins?And was also introduced by Holland as the team's second man after Collison!

At this moment, Lu Yi stepped forward and said loudly, "I am Lu Yi, a fourth grade student, your big brother..."
