Chapter 564 Preparing for the Round of 32

"JT~!!"

"JT~!!"

"JT~!!"

"Papapa~!!!!!!"

In the basketball hall of the University of Salt Lake City, the fans cheered and applauded for a player.

This person is "JT" - Jason Thompson.

Jason Thompson's final college game was also his last for his alma mater, Rider University.

In the last minute of the game, Thompson blocked the ball when he had physical contact with a UCLA substitute because of a chasing block.

But this "pretense" was called a foul by the referee in a very puzzled manner.

Thompson also fouled out because of this foul. At the same time as the end of the game, it also ended the March Madness of this season and ended his four-year college career.

Thompson couldn't stand the penalty at first, sat under the basket, cried, and slowly stood up under the comfort and persuasion of his teammates.

Surrounded by his teammates, Thompson covered his crying face with his hands and walked towards the bench.

Perhaps the situation of leaving the field with full fouls is not the best "farewell" moment Thompson imagined.

The farewell scene that Thompson imagined should be in the final of the final four, winning the championship trophy, that is the most perfect ending.

But not everyone has the perfect ending of "Flying Man" Jordan, and most of them still have a tragic ending like "Postman" Malone.

But if you try, you won't regret it.

Maybe youth is destined to be full of regrets.

"Ryder University is proud of you. Your basketball career has just begun. Come on, boy, make it to the NBA and let everyone know that you are from Rider University~!!"

The head coach hugged Thompson and said affectionately.

Thompson just nodded, the tear stains on his cheeks clearly visible.

As the head coach said, Thompson's college career is over, but this also means that Thompson is about to usher in an NBA career.

"I have improved my college career for four consecutive seasons, and can contribute 20+10 performances this season. Coupled with tonight's performance, I think Thompson is indeed worthy of a lottery show ~!! I believe that today will come The scouts at the University of Salt Lake City will definitely praise Thompson in their reports~!!"

Lan Shengli also affirmed.

"And not every player with potential can stay in college for four years. Thompson is indeed an opponent worthy of respect,"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

The game also ended quickly, and Westbrook and others also hugged Thompson in greeting. Such an opponent deserves everyone's respect.

UCLA finally successfully passed the first round of the test and entered the top 32.

This game is not so much the tenacity of Rider University, perhaps the plateau combat is the biggest test for UCLA.

After the game, the UCLA team left Salt Lake City immediately without stopping.

"I can finally leave this plateau, thank God~!"

Westbrook boarded the plane and sighed.

"I rather like the fresh air here,"

Le Fu sighed aside.

"Then you just pray that you will be selected by the Utah Jazz~!"

Westbrook sighed.

After a half-day flight, the team arrived at Los Angeles International Airport at 10:30 pm.

"Ah~!!! The air here is more fresh~!"

Westbrook stepped off the plane, sighing.

"These five days have passed very quickly. It is a good thing for us to be able to win the game smoothly~!!"

Lan Shengli sighed.

Because the March Madness schedule is not very intensive, the team's next game may not start until a week later, so this also gives the players more time to prepare.

Here, Lan Shengli also returned home, took off his clothes in the room, and immediately fell asleep.

Lan Shengli was indeed exhausted during the five-day journey.

"I watched yesterday's game. The first half was a bit worrying, but the second half was like the familiar UCLA~!!"

Early the next morning, Dawei was talking while having breakfast.

Lan Shengli also finished washing, eating bread, and nodding his head.

"During the intermission, what kind of tricks did you give that Holland~?!"

Dawei continued to ask.

"How can there be, it's just the first round of the game, we just need to adjust our state to win,"

Lan Shengli explained.

"Tch~, it must be some team secret, don't want to tell me~!"

Dawei said.

"You think too much, how can there be any secrets,,, this kind of single-elimination game, no team dares to preserve tactics and strength, if it is eliminated, it will be regrettable,,"

Lan Shengli sighed.

"That's right,,,"

Dawei nodded and said.

"Then, next is the top 32, right?"

Dawei continued talking.

"That's right, the next match is the top 32, but the opponent should not be determined yet,,,"

Lan Shengli said.

"The next round is the top 32. Although our opponent has not yet been determined, the tense atmosphere of preparations cannot be relaxed~!!!"

In a blink of an eye, he came to the training hall of UCLA, Holland said.

Although they had just played a fierce game yesterday, there was no sign of fatigue on the faces of the players. Everyone looked energetic and high-spirited.

Perhaps this is the positive impact of winning on the players.

"This morning, as usual, the recovery training after the game will be carried out, and then the players with old injuries will go to the medical room for examination and treatment, and a video conference will be held in the afternoon,"

Holland arranged.

The team members listened to the order, and each of them got busy.

Lan Shengli is also busy in the studio.

"Cut out yesterday's game, focusing on the first half, and then edit out the first round games that ended in the same way,"

This was the task that Holland had assigned to Lan Shengli.

Because the video conference will be held in the afternoon, Lan Shengli only has one morning to complete these tasks.

Lan Shengli is already familiar with it, and his proficient editing skills have greatly improved his work efficiency.

Soon, the video clips of all the first-round games that have ended will be completed.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, the team members arrived at the video hall on time.

"Preparing for the top 32, of course the most important thing for us is to know our opponents in advance. Only in this way can we achieve preemptive strikes~!!"

Holland said.

"After all, the later the game, the stronger the opponent's strength, and the more fully we have to prepare~!!"

Holland continued.

Lan Shengli quickly adjusted the equipment over there, and the recording session began.

This is how UCLA started preparing for the top 32 competition.
