Chapter 556 Another Year of March Madness
"In the first round of the competition, this opponent is indeed relatively weak, but the location of this competition is indeed not very pleasant~!!"

In Holland's office, the team leader looked at the schedule and sighed.

UCLA will face the little-known Rider University in the first game of March Madness, and the venue of the game will be the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, at an altitude of 3582 meters.

Combat at high altitude is a big challenge for UCLA.

"Yeah, I thought the first round of the competition would be passed easily, but I didn't expect such a difficulty, it's quite uncomfortable,"

Holland shook his head, sighing.

"After all, we have to come up with some countermeasures, and we must not capsize in the gutter~!!"

The leader reminded.

"I know this. Fortunately, the team has played games in Denver before. Although the altitude there may not be as high as Salt Lake City, the physical feeling is similar. Let Bruce prepare the information for that game. Enough,,"

Holland said.

Lan Shengli soon came to Holland's office.

"Well, Coach Holland, I'm going to prepare a video of the team's previous game in Denver, and show you how the team will react when fighting on the plateau~!!"

After learning about the situation, Lan Shengli said.

Without any prior communication, Lan Shengli and Holland actually thought of it together.

But this is not a very incredible thing, after all, there are not many places with plateaus.

"That's what I thought too, haha, it seems that we have thought of a piece~!"

Holland said with a smile.

"Yeah, haha, that's really a coincidence,"

Lan Shengli shook his head and sighed.

"That's why I called you here because I wanted to assign you this task~!"

Holland continued.

"Okay, then I'll do it~!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work~!"

Holland nodded and said.

Now for Lan Shengli, it is just a video clip of a game, which is as simple as eating and going to the toilet, and it can be solved in minutes.

So before leaving get off work, Lan Shengli, who had finished editing the video, came to the video analysis room. Holland and the team members were already seated and ready to "start class".

"God, I really, really hate going to the plateau to play games, this game location is really terrible~!!"

Westbrook covered his face with his hands, made a frustrated look, and said in a disappointed tone.

"Oh, what is this? When you enter the NBA in the future, you have to play away games like the Utah Jazz and the Denver Nuggets. Could it be that you don't play because you hate the plateau~?!"

Le Fu on the side said.

"Hey, that's true. This may be the professionalism of professional players that the old coach Dunleavy said before. No matter what the situation is, you must maintain a professional attitude. That's it~!!"

Westbrook also sighed.

"That's right, it's okay if you think so. Besides, you might be directly selected by the Jazz or the Nuggets in the future~!! You can't just because you are a plateau team, Refuse to report~!!"

Love continued to speak in a half-joking tone.

"Then I would rather stay in UCLA,,,"

Westbrook shook his head and said in a very repulsive manner.

"Everyone be quiet, the video analysis session has begun,"

While speaking, Coach Holland had already "started class".

The game going to the plateau before the resumption is just the beginning of preparations.

In order to adapt to the plateau environment of the competition venue in advance, UCLA arrived at the competition venue-Salt Lake City five days in advance, also at the suggestion of Lan Shengli.

"I want to inhale oxygen, I want to inhale oxygen~!"

After getting off the plane, Westbrook said with an exaggerated look.

"Are you really fake~?! The airport is still considered a plain, and it is no different from Los Angeles~!! Don't play tricks, okay~!"

Le Fu on the side looked repelled and said.

"I really hate this plateau, I really have altitude sickness,,,"

Westbrook said with a look of difficulty breathing.

"Hey, I really admire you,,,"

Love shook his head, sighing.

"Looking at you like this, it seems that it is difficult to last until the day of the game,"

Love continued to sigh.

"The game will definitely not be delayed. In order to win the game, I will overcome any difficulties~!!"

Westbrook's tone suddenly firmed.

"Hey, fortunately, when I was in high school, I had the experience of coming to Utah to play games, so there should be no problem,,,"

Le Fu looked very confident and started talking to himself.

"So that's how I said, why are you acting like a normal person,"

Westbrook shook his head and sighed, listening to the meager tone, he felt as if he was about to suffocate.

"Hurry up and get in the car,,, I'm going to suffocate,,"

"I also feel a little hypoxic,"

"Me too, if it wasn't for the competition, I wouldn't have come to such a ghostly place~!!"

Several team members, including Westbrook, said, and ran directly onto the bus.

"The reaction of the players feels more serious than expected,,,"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli, who was following the team members, sighed.

"Fortunately, we are so many days in advance, I think they can get used to it before the game starts~!!"

Holland on the side said.

Lan Shengli nodded, and the two got on the bus together.

Lan Shengli, who follows Holland like a shadow, seems to have become Holland's "chief assistant".

The hotel booked by UCLA is not very far from the venue of the game, which is the University of Utah, so the bus passed the University of Utah on the way to the hotel.

On the telegraph pole beside the road in front of the school gate, a preview of the game between UCLA and Rider University has been posted.

It can be seen that although it is only the first round of March Madness, it has also received a lot of attention.

The March Madness competition was like this, every match was like the final.

"March Madness is really coming~!!!"

Through the car window, Lan Shengli looked at the posters and sighed.

In March Madness last year, Lan Shengli was still following Brooks to conduct player inspections. One year later, Lan Shengli has personally participated in this most popular basketball game in the United States. This feeling is completely different.

"Being able to change from a bystander to a personal participant feels like a dream~!"

Lan Shengli closed his eyes and sighed.
