Chapter 618 Fighter, Westbrook~! ! (superior)
Although Collison has already been reimbursed for the season due to an ankle injury, it is precisely because of this that he and Westbrook have resolved the many conflicts between the two. , but it seems that UCLA doesn't really want this blessing.

After all, Collison's absence had too much impact on the team.

In other words, the team would rather let the conflict between the two continue to exist, and do not want Collison to be reimbursed for the season.

But from a long-term perspective, of course, it is better to resolve.

"It's really not easy for Westbrook and Collison to turn their fights into friendships. It's just that the timing and the actual situation don't seem to be perfect. It would be great if Collison wasn't injured. ,"

Lan Shengli sighed.

"But after all, if there is no such thing, these two people will definitely continue to pinch like this,"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

"I just don't know if the two people who have "reconciled" will have a chance to fight side by side in the future. After all, based on Westbrook's current performance, it is very likely that he will participate in the draft in the next offseason , In this way, after the two people go to the NBA in the future, they will still be rivals again,,,, haha~!! This may be a trick of fate, "

Lan Shengli continued to think.

After dealing with Collison's matter, everyone left the hospital and returned to the hotel.

Early the next morning, he left Houston by plane and returned to Los Angeles.

"Sweet 16, if Collison is still talking and laughing as usual, this trip will be considered very sweet,,,"

Looking at the continuous white clouds outside the window, Lan Shengli sighed.

Although Collison has already been reimbursed for the season, after all, the team has reached the elite eight, so they must move forward and must not give up.

So after the team returned to UCLA, it entered the preparations for the Elite Eight.

"Although Collison is no longer in the team, I want everyone to know that UCLA has always been a team that gets better from setbacks, and a team that never admits defeat, no matter how difficult the situation is. , we will all move forward~!!! Don’t forget the goals we set at the beginning of the season, we want to win the championship, we want to become the strongest team in the entire NCAA~!!!”

Before the training session started, Holland encouraged the players as usual.

"Roar~!!!"

When the team members listened, their morale was boosted, they punched and shouted.

It seems that the state of UCLA players really has not been affected too much.

But~! !

"However, after Collison is absent, it is really difficult for Coach Holland to deploy troops. After all, Collison is in such a special position that no one can replace him. His role in the team is of great importance to him. The effect that can be exerted, even Westbrook can't do it,,, "

Lan Shengli sighed in his heart, and seemed to be very worried about the upcoming elite eight.

"Especially in the quarterfinals, the opponent's strength is much stronger than before, and we don't have any internal talents to tap,,, this is really not easy to handle,,,"

Lan Shengli continued to worry.

"Swipe~!!!"

"Tap, brush~!!!"

"Duang~!!!!"

On the contrary, Westbrook was very active in training, very active and hardworking, and he was in very good condition, with long shots, mid-range shots and dunks.

"No matter who the opponent is, no matter how strong it is, no matter who we are missing at UCLA, as long as I, Russell Westbrook, will still win~!!!"

Westbrook's pupils were burning with fire, and he seemed to be about to settle everything.

Westbrook also carried that good form and competitive spirit into the Elite Eight.

Let me first introduce UCLA's opponent in the quarter-finals - Syracuse University.

Different from some civilian schools before, Syracuse University was famous as the "NBA player delivery base". There are countless NBA players who have gone out.

The most famous bento is "melon" - Carmelo Anthony.

There are many, many NBA players who left Syracuse University. Maybe they don't shine like Anthony, but at least they all have a firm foothold in the NBA. This is already not easy.

So when these two championship seed teams meet, it basically depends on who plays better on the spot.

"Since Collison can't play now, there is no other point guard, and Westbrook is not good at organization, it is better to let Westbrook throw his arms and play hard, and use personal Ability to solve problems, the simplest, most brutal, and the most practical tactic for our UCLA at this stage,,, "

The game had already started, and Coach Holland was sitting there, thinking about the advice that Lan Shengli had given him before.

"That's the only way to go,,, Russell, success or failure, it all depends on you,,"

Holland continued to sigh.

"Hey~!!!"

After the game started here, Westbrook was like a runaway wild horse, unable to stop at all. With Love's pick-and-roll, three defensive players from Syracuse University were about to layup, and they were smashed by the opponent. After the beating, Westbrook could only scream, waiting for the referee's "sympathy points".

"Beep~!!!"

The referee was also very sympathetic, and immediately whistled for a defensive foul, and it was still a shooting foul. Westbrook got two free throws.

"Westbrook went to the inside so recklessly as soon as he came up, can he still have physical strength in the second half of the game~?!"

Even UCLA fans are worried.

"I always feel that Westbrook has a very high upper limit, but every time it feels like he hasn't used it. I don't know if he can really use it this time. Don't look at anything else, just look at Westbrook. Where is your physical upper limit, Sterbrook,,, "

Lan Shengli sighed as he looked at Westbrook who was about to make a free throw.

"Swipe~!!"

"Swipe~!!"

Steady two free throws, Westbrook scored the first for the team.

"Slow down, we don't have much rest time for me,,,"

Love, who was returning to defense, was still reminding Westbrook.

"Do your own thing~!!"

Westbrook spoke with a very serious and cold expression and tone.

"Swipe~!!!"

Syracuse University's first offense also scored two points through a go-ahead tactic.

"Different from the teams with obvious labels that we encountered before, Syracuse University is a team with both offense and defense, and is very team-oriented, without obvious labels, and the players have strong personal abilities. Maybe this There are many teams with different styles in the NCAA, but since Syracuse University can stand out from the crowd and come to the elite eight, there must be a reason for it,,, "

Here, Lan Shengli began to analyze.
