New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 144: Splitting the Palm!

Entering December, because the winter vacation will start from NO.15, the game schedule of UCLA's various sports teams has become much more intensive.

Of course, basketball is no exception, and the form of promotion this year is very good.The school's leaders are also paying more and more attention to the problems of the Bruins on and off the field.

In addition to hiring a physical trainer, defensive coach and team manager with a high salary.Although Wacker made it clear that these people are not needed, the workload for him alone with several teaching assistants is really heavy.

In the past three months, he led the team to train every day and went out to play games, which made his back injury more and more serious.

It's not just Wally who is worried about his father's health. Zhang Yi and others also understand that Wacker's biggest problem is that he likes to take everything on his shoulders.

Whether he was a player or in the past two years as a coach, a person like him is a talent that a team needs, but it is difficult to become a real leader.

With other assistants, Wacker's workload was instantly reduced a lot.And spending a lot of money to hire these mercenaries is indeed not a mediocrity.

Except for the training of Zhang Yi, Escalio and Robert, the others were all handed over to the new physical trainer.

In the team tactical training in the afternoon, with the help of professional defensive assistants, the Bruins have strengthened their zone defense, mobile supplementary defense, and everyone's one-on-one defense.

What Zhang Yi and others need most now is competition experience, and there are some things that are not available in training.

Especially for Wall-E, Roy, Brad and others, whether they are newcomers or old students who have been depressed a few years ago, how to cultivate a steel-like will is what Wack is thinking about now.

The opponent in the evening game was the Golden Bears of the University of California, Berkeley. Similar to UCLA's experience, the Golden Bears have also changed from a traditional strong team to a belly that everyone can ravage.

Their rebuilding process is not as smooth as the Bruins this year, but they have also absorbed several good players.

Howard, the head coach of the Golden Bears, has never thought about how far the team can go this year. He has the same idea of ​​letting children practice as much as Wacker.

The effect was amazing, because they actually stole a victory from the home court of the Trojans, the most powerful enemy in the Pacific League.

You must know that last year's Trojans won the division championship with a record of undefeated, let alone winning at their home court.

That game took place just before Thanksgiving, so the Golden Bears are in full swing right now!
In the world of college basketball, strength is also affected by morale in many cases.Because college students are not as determined as adults.

On the way to the University of California by car, Wacker made the starting arrangement for the game.

When he said this, everyone was stunned, because he not only won Zhang Yi, but also Ezcalio and Robert.

In terms of Doudizhu, Wacker is making two kings one two.

The assistant coach is of course skeptical about this. After all, if he wins this game, he can get rid of the Trojans and monopolize the number one position in the league...

The three of Zhang Yi were very calm. They believed that Wack's arrangement must have their own ideas.

In addition to being excited, the few people who were put on the starting lineup were also nervous. These five people basically watched Wall-E and Roy's performance.

Although Brand is talented, he lacks the experience of leading a team after all, and his awareness of instigating offense as a shooter is still very weak.

The team bus drove directly to the Haas Arena of the Golden Bears.They arrived earlier, so Wacker asked everyone to get out of the car to warm up before gathering for dinner.

As soon as Zhang Yi and Escalo appeared in front of the entire Golden Bear team, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Even the Trojans are a strong team, but there are no real stars among them.

The Bruins are different. These two are now called the Bruins Gemini on the NCAA official website.

Even leaving aside Zhang Yi's off-court performance, their expressions in the game have left their teammates far behind, and they are in a class of their own!
In addition, the starting five players of the Golden Bears are also rookies, so these people are both envious and jealous. At the same age, they are very aware of the gap in strength between themselves and these two.

During training, Zhang Yi, Ezcalio and Robert just helped other players warm up.

The opponents were still surprised, wondering if they were so confident that they didn't need to warm up?

After dinner, the game started. What surprised the Golden Bears was that the opponent had half a substitute?

Head coach Howard looked at Wacker with a half-smiling expression, thinking that this guy didn't let Zhang Yi play in the last game, and this time he put the two absolute main players, Ezcalio and Robert, on the bench?
It's not that he can't imagine Wacker's thoughts, but as an opponent, Howard only feels that the team he leads is underestimated.

"You want these people to find confidence? Don't be shy, go beat them!"

It was also the first time for the players of the Golden Bears to see such a serious coach.

From the beginning, they knew very well that there was a gap in strength between them and the Bruins, so they all prepared with the idea of ​​fighting hard, but they didn't expect their opponents to be so big.

Even in college, the strength of the starter and the substitute are two concepts.

Wa struggled for the ball but was directly copied by the opponent's defender.

They are also a fast-break team. In the blink of an eye, the two guards cooperate with each other to open the scoring with a hook.

Wally didn't blame the backup point guard Fei Du for this ball. After all, everyone was nervous, but he made another mistake in the next round, and his opponent turned into a counterattack.

"No substitutions yet?" Howard looked at Wacker on the opposite side, tapping his fingers on the tactical board.

Wacker yelled at Fei Du, "Concentrate!" Then he made a movement that made him take a deep breath.

During this attack, Fei Du immediately found Walli with a high-profile ball.

Although the opportunity was not very good, the latter still squeezed away the opponent's high center and made a basket to stabilize the situation.

Among these players, Wali is the only player who uses his own offensive ability, and the rest need to look for opportunities while running.

It is certainly not a weak team for the Golden Bears to win a victory in the hands of the Trojans, and each of them is suffocating in their hearts.

Even though there are not many reporters and scouts on the sidelines, Zhang Yi and Ezcalio on the sidelines have just become their role models, and new faces can also make a name for themselves.

The more determined they are, the more the scene will lean towards the Golden Bear side.

Wally was not only tired but also uncomfortable in the fight. He had to carry at least one defender on his back every time to fight hard.

Even though his success is very high, but after playing like this for 10 minutes, the score is getting bigger and bigger. The double pressure of psychology and body makes Wall-E's physical energy lose rapidly.

In the past, he could run all over the court, but his jersey was completely soaked before halftime.

Wacker did not expect these people to be so nervous in the official game. "Coach, replace Wali, if this fight continues, he is likely to be injured."

The assistant teacher said in his ear, Zhang Yi and others also looked at Wacker.

If it wasn't his son, Wack might have changed, but WALL-E was his son!No matter how much you tease him, no matter how much you despise him...

"The assistant coach is right, if you get injured, you will lose a lot!" The defensive coach also said nervously.

"You all shut up! He's my son!" Wacker growled.

Almost at the same time, during the confrontation on the field, Golden Bears center Leonard made a dangerous impact and was warned by the referee.

He murmured in Wali's ear with a displeased face, "The coach's son is so nice, he can play no matter how badly he plays."

Hearing this, Wall-E just stared at his opponent.This made Leonard shake his head and return to the defense unhappily, and was still gesturing to his teammates to ask if there is something wrong with Wall-E's brain...

In this round, Fei Du and Brad played a pick-and-roll, and then jumped up at the top of the arc to pass the ball to Wally.

As soon as the defense was opened, he faced the man who insulted him just now and turned around without hesitation.

"Dreaming?!" Leonard roared angrily, covering the basketball in Wali's hand with a big hand.

As soon as the corner of his mouth raised, the next second, there was a huge shock from his wrist, and the trajectory of the basketball didn't stop!
"impossible!"

Immediately afterwards, with a bang, the basketball shook his palm away and smashed into the frame like a thunderbolt!
"Good shot! Beautiful!" Zhang Yi jumped up in surprise when he saw this scene.Wall-E has been suppressing himself, he has such strength!

Wacker breathed a sigh of relief until his son's feet landed on the ground, "This kid has finally learned a little bit of the essence of my old man!"

Wally raised his arms and shouted, the Bruins finally got up, and the audience who had been silent for a long time on the sidelines also boiled!
