Chapter 451 A lineup that still needs to be adjusted
In the UCLA training hall, the starting players and the substitute players are divided into two teams, and an intra-team training match is about to start.

In order to show the current state of the team, head coach Holland also called the team leader over.

"Westbrook against Collison is also a very interesting matchup, haha~!!, it would be great if Bruce was by his side at this time,"

The team leader looked at the game that had already started and said with a smile.

Here Collison was dribbling the ball, and Westbrook didn't give too much defensive pressure. Collison was still very steady and gave the ball to Love first.

This first attack is to hit Love. It can indeed be seen that the tactical status given to Love by the team is still very high.

Love slapped his back and kept an eye on the movements of other teammates.

After all, in Holland's positional offensive system, "moving the ball" is a very important part.

"Move~!! Move~!! Move~!!"

Holland also reminded him on the sidelines.

"Hey!!"

But soon, Holland let out a long sigh.

I saw that Love and his teammates did not form a tacit understanding, and there was a mistake in passing and receiving the ball, and the ball was directly passed out of bounds by Love.

It can be seen that the tacit understanding between Love and these new teammates still needs to continue to be cultivated.

That's why Holland makes the starters play against the bench.

The game is still going on.

Compared with the starting players passing the ball to each other, tacit cooperation, and playing different tactics, the play style of the substitute players is much simpler.

"Dangdang~!!!"

As soon as Westbrook passed the ball, the backup shooting guard made a long shot from the outside and failed to make a hit.

After all, these substitute players have not yet had a stable playing time. They are eager to use this kind of training game to prove themselves in front of Holland, so there must be more personal offense on the offensive end.

So the substitute team feels more like a "sparing team".

"Hold on, we can fight slowly~!!"

Instead, Westbrook returned to defense while reminding his teammates.

After all, Westbrook is already a sophomore. In terms of qualifications and abilities, he should be the core player on the bench.

"Hey, if Westbrook was in another university, according to his ability, he would have been the main force of iron fight long ago,"

The team leader on the sidelines watched and sighed.

"Actually, if we can combine the characteristics of Westbrook and Collison to form one person, there may still be some opportunities,"

The team leader continued to sigh.

The game continued, and the starting team changed their tactics. Collison and Love started a pick-and-roll this time.

Collison took advantage of the gap between the pick-and-roll and the defense, and when the substitute team's defense personnel were not in place in time, he directly accelerated the dribble, went to the basket, and hit an easy pick basket.

Scored two points for the starting team.

"Collison's big-picture view, his vision and his ability to adapt to changes on the spot are indeed very strong. He is a typical young and mature player. This is why he has been able to secure the team's starting point guard for the past two years."

The team leader continued to sigh.

The bench quickly sent the ball to the baseline, and Westbrook dribbled to the frontcourt.

"Don't even mention it, this Westbrook seriously organizes the attack, it's really serious, it's like that~!"

The team leader watched Westbrook pass the ball and move according to the tactical content, and sighed.

"Hi~~ It's too early to praise,,,"

The leader continued to shake his head and said with a helpless expression.

I saw that after Westbrook came to the bottom line to get the ball, he wanted to forcefully pass the defensive forward player along the bottom line. As a result, he slipped and fell to the ground, the ball went out of bounds, and contributed a turnover.

"If Westbrook's turnovers still can't be reduced and his mind is always hot, even if the team and Holland want to train him, there will be no room for him,,,"

The team leader continued to sigh.

"Pay attention to the space, pay attention to the position, pay attention to the transfer of the ball~!!"

But Holland didn't care about Westbrook's mistakes at all, he just focused on watching the starting team's offense.

After all, this game is prepared to run into the starting lineup.

"Damn it, if the ball didn't slip, I would be able to dunk it if I rushed in, what a pity~!"

Westbrook said while defending.

"Oh, what's going on~!!"

Holland suddenly patted his thigh and said angrily.

I saw that the main team's striker and Love once again had a situation where there was no tacit understanding. Love thought that the opponent would shoot and was ready to grab a rebound, but the opponent wanted to make a fake shot and a real pass. The two did not think of going together.

The sharp Westbrook broke the ball.

"Duang~!!!"

This time Westbrook seized the opportunity. After fully accumulating speed, the defensive players could not catch up. He could only watch Westbrook complete a powerful slam dunk.

Love is still communicating with his teammates.

After the start of the game, the starting team did make a lot of mistakes, and many of them were unforced mistakes, which was embarrassing.

"Westbrook's impact on the fast break, his finishing ability and finishing ability are unmatched, at least at the NCAA level,"

But the team leader here appreciates Westbrook.

"But the starting team did make a lot of mistakes. This kind of offensive efficiency is obviously far from enough~!!"

Of course, the team leader was also worried.

Originally, Holland brought the team leader to watch the game, wanting to show off how brave his players are, but now it seems that the situation is not good.

"Walking violation,"

While speaking, the starting team made another mistake that shouldn't have happened.

"Beep~!!"

The "temporary referee" blew the whistle here, and Coach Holland seemed a little bit uneasy, and called a timeout directly, and the players left the field one after another.

"Be patient, be patient, okay~!!!"

Holland spoke to the starting team with a very impatient expression.

The substitute team over there was explained by other assistant coaches. After all, in the team training match, using the timeout time to quickly instill in the players what should be improved is the most important thing.

"Focus on Collison and Love, play more pick-and-rolls, and shoot resolutely when you have the opportunity. Don't make too many and complicated coordination. The more passes, the greater the corresponding turnover rate. Seize the opportunity and improve efficiency~!! Reduce mistakes~!! Do you hear~?!?!"

Holland continued to yell, reminding the players.

The team members nodded their heads one after another.

Although this is an in-team training match, if the main team loses to the substitute team, I'm afraid it will be a bit embarrassing.

Especially when the team leader is still on the scene.
