Guard With a Knife

Chapter 9: 1st substitute

   Coach Ben Holland announced to Dugge on Monday afternoon that the NCAA league has officially passed his naturalization status as a player, which means he has officially become a member of the Bruins.

   Kevin Love and Westbrook screamed with excitement about this news.

   Collison's small team didn't seem so happy, but under Ben Holland's gaze, they clapped their hands perfunctorily.

  Due to his official naturalization, Doug must quickly pick his jersey number, otherwise he will not be able to participate in the game tomorrow afternoon.

  Duge chose number 8 at the beginning.

   Chinese people like this number.

But coach Holland told him: "In the NCAA, the four numbers 6, 7, 8, 9 are referee numbers. You can go from 0-5, 10-15, 20-25. 30-35, 40-45 and 50. Choose one between -55. There are also 0 and 00."

   "Then ten."

   Du Ge chose this number.

   Coach Ben Holland checked and confirmed that no team member had chosen this number, and he quickly reported it. And let the sponsors quickly make jerseys over.

The efficiency of    is very high. It took less than an hour and a half before the sponsor sent the jersey No. 10 embroidered with the Pinyin of the Duge surname.

  Doug put on this jersey, and he felt a sense of belonging inexplicably: Next, he must fight for the honor of the school.

   The University of Southern California and UCLA belong to the NCAA Pacific Division. In a sense, the two teams are rivals in the same city.

   Of course, the history is more prominent.

   But the strength of the University of Southern California in the past two years cannot be underestimated. Last season... the University of Southern California doubled the Bruins. This made all the soldiers sighed this season and urgently needed to be released on Tuesday afternoon.

  ……

   "Coach, are you crazy?"

On Monday night, in a closed-door meeting of the coaching team, Assistant Coach Cole loudly questioned Ben Holland's personnel transfer for the next game: "Let Russell be the starting point guard, I can understand. But... let Snoopy be the starting point guard. Forward, isn’t it too arbitrary? He can’t even dunk. He’s an offensive loophole when he stepped onto the court. We have to face a 4-on-5 situation."

"So, I arranged for Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook to start with him. There is also three-point shooter Vincent, plus Holiday. The offensive ability of this lineup is definitely no problem." Holland Replied with confidence.

   "But... Snoopy is not familiar with our tactical system at all." Cole continued to question.

   "He has a good sense of position. I believe that the top students who can enter the Anderson School of Finance and get a full scholarship will quickly understand the team's tactical intentions. Moreover, he is in urgent need of playing time to enrich his playing experience."

   Ben Holland did not discuss with him again: "Okay, I have already decided."

   He must use the authority of the head coach, otherwise the meeting will fall into endless arguments.

   "Did you consider the feelings of Darren and Luke in doing this? They have been the starters before, and now they are all switched to the bench, they will feel unbalanced."

   Coach Cole still thinks Ben Holland’s substitution is too radical.

   "I will go and chat with them. They should understand that any team needs to have internal competition, and only competition can make the team better."

   Ben Holland finished speaking.

   then shelved this topic, and then entered the tactical discussion section.

   For the University of Southern California, we all know each other, after all, they are teams from the same city in the same region, and they play against each other twice a year in group matches.

   Only this time, suddenly there was a variable. Suddenly Dug appeared, and he was reused by Ben Holland for ‘unexplainable’. He actually played as a starter in the first official game of his college career. This is usually the treatment of a super five-star player.

   In the latest tactical positioning of Ben Holland, Du Ge's role has become very important. He safely handed over the heavy responsibility of the penalty area to Du Ge alone, and did not consider the intention of letting any teammates assist in the penalty area.

   Regarding this point, Coach Nolan, who likes Doug very much, has reservations.

After the meeting, he approached Ben Holland: "I know you want Snoopy to accumulate more experience in the game. While assuming important responsibilities, he was pressured to grow rapidly. UU看书www.uukanshu.com But... don’t you think this responsibility is too heavy for him? This is the first official game of his life. Although we all know how good his defensive talent is, what if he doesn’t hold it up? His self-confidence was hit by this, which affected his love for basketball?"

   Coach Nolan is worried. He is not opposed to letting Doug start the game, but he is opposed to Ben Holland being burdened by him as soon as he comes up. He is afraid that this defensive genius will be overwhelmed in one go.

   "Listen, Nolan. I don't want to predict whether he can take on this important task. I just want to tell you that if we want to win this year's NCAA championship, we must accumulate enough chips before entering the national competition."

"The University of Memphis, the University of Kentucky, the University of North Carolina, Duke University, the University of Kansas... These powerful players will not give us the opportunity to grow slowly. You know, after this season, Kevin and Darren will leave, Hole Di, Russell, and even Barmott, they are all likely to announce their rookies. We must immediately accumulate strength for the next school year. Snoopy is a rare talent, and I have seen his information, his The family is very rich and he has no reason to enter the NBA right away."

"So, whether it is for this season or for the next two seasons, we must immediately add a burden to Snoopy. It does not matter if the game fails, as long as he can grow up quickly, even if he does not become a five-star in the end. Player. But as long as he can become a defensive gate, we will succeed!"

  Ben Holland’s reason is very good.

   However, Nolan still feels that this is encouraging the seedlings and is very unfair to Snoopy.

  A person who just entered the basketball world, you suddenly let him be the core of the inside defense. Isn't it difficult for a strong man?
