United States, Los Angeles.

The next day, Coach Wesley came to the hotel again. He treated Zhuang Yu and Zhou Zhiming to a meal, and then explained the situation of UCLA to Zhuang Yu.

As a long-established and strong team, UCLA has a profound foundation and has always been very strong.

Last season, the 2010-2011 season, the UCLA Bruins made it all the way to the NCAA tournament and reached the top 32.

However, they ultimately lost to the University of Florida, the No. 2 seed in the Southeast Division, in the round of 32.

Although four members of UCLA's starting lineup scored in double figures, University of Florida's Irwin Walker scored 21 points, plus 3 rebounds and 2 assists. His crazy performance helped the University of Florida defeat 73:65.

ULCA.

However, things have changed a bit this year.

Some players graduated and left, and some remaining players suffered from injuries, giving UCLA head coach Ben Holland a headache.

The team's lineup is now in a situation where there are relatively large vacancies.

In order to ensure the competitiveness of the team and continue to compete in the championship next season, UCLA must recruit some outstanding players.

Coach Wesley told Zhuang Yu that this was a good opportunity. Now the team is in great need of talents, and he felt that Zhuang Yu could definitely give it a try.

"Of course, the competition will be fierce this year." Coach Wesley reminded: "We have a lot of vacancies in the lineup this year, and everyone knows this, so there are particularly many people who want to compete for these spots. There are many of them.

A very good player at the high school level."

He also revealed to Zhuang Yu that one of them had already been appointed.

Although the final process has not yet been completed, one person has been selected by head coach Ben Holland and the head of the school's basketball department, and one of the team's 15-man roster is already his.

"This man's name is Shabazz Mohammed."

Coach Wesley hesitated for a moment before revealing the other party's name: "Coach Holland took a fancy to Shabazz very early on and invited him. Recently we got a reply from Shabazz, and he decided to join.

UCLA, become a Bruin."

"This makes Coach Holland very happy. In addition to promising Shabazz a full scholarship, he seems to be interested in adjusting the lineup and making Shabazz the starting small forward."

Shabazz-Mohammed.

Zhuang Yu remembered this name and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

I have to work hard to participate in trials in order to enter the NCAA, but some people are not only pre-qualified, but also become starters.

Moreover, from what Coach Wesley said, it seems that UCLA is lucky that Shabazz Muhammad can join UCLA.

He couldn't help but ask: "Coach Wesley, is this Shabazz Muhammad very good?"

Coach Wesley chuckled and said: "Yes, he is the number one high school student in the United States. In his last season of high school, he averaged 29.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game. His physical talent is very strong and he is an outstanding player.

striker."

oh......

Zhuang Yu suddenly realized.

The No. 1 high school student in the United States, he averaged 29.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game in his final season of high school. No wonder he has such a big reputation and his background is indeed not small.

Then, he thought of another question.

Shahbaz Mohammed has already been appointed, so he shouldn't need to participate in the trial training. Logically speaking, he is not his competitor. However, since Shahbaz Mohammed has already occupied a spot, it means that there is a vacancy in the team.

The number of places has decreased.

As the number of places shrinks, competition will become more intense!

After that, Coach Wesley told Zhuang Yu some things he needed to pay attention to when participating in the trial training. Zhuang Yu listened carefully and took note of everything Coach Wesley said.

...

The next day, Zhuang Yu and Zhou Zhiming came to UCLA.

The person who came to pick them up was a staff member arranged by the school. He took the two of them into the school, gave a brief introduction to the school, and then arranged the written examination.

This is the same as before at Bryant University.

After taking the written test, Zhuang Yu came to the arena and met Coach Wesley.

Coach Wesley was obviously very busy today. He hugged Zhou Zhiming and said, "I'm sorry for not picking you up. I'm just too busy today."

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Zhiming said, looking around the arena.

Zhuang Yu was also looking at the arena.

UCLA's arena is very large and beautiful, but that's not the point. What's more, he found that there were a lot of people in the arena. There were dozens of people wearing staff uniforms. In addition, there were many wearing jerseys.

I don’t know if the young man is a player of the team or if he is here for trial training like him.

In an instant, Zhuang Yu felt the pressure.

Coach Wesley saw Zhuang Yu's nervousness and smiled: "Only 8 people are here to participate in the trial training, and the rest are all players from the school's reserve team."

"Oh, that's okay." Zhuang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

If these dozen people are all here for trial training, you can imagine how fierce the competition will be.

You know, before Zhuang Yu went to Bryant University, there were only 4 people participating in the trial training, but here there are 8 people, which has doubled.

In fact, all trial training personnel are far more than these, but the team is trial training in batches. For example, it is 8 people this time, and it may be 6 people next time. It is not fixed.

After all, there are too many players who want to enter UCLA!

Under the arrangement of Coach Wesley, Zhuang Yu first warmed up and then began trial training. As before, there was a physical test first and then a skill test.

Watching Zhuang Yu test, coach Wesley talked with Zhou Zhiming.

"Don't worry too much." Coach Wesley said to Zhou Zhiming: "It can be seen that you are very fond of Zhuang Yu. Although there is no guarantee that he will be selected for the 15-man roster, I can at least keep him as a reserve player.

At UCLA. As long as you stay here, you will still have a chance to enter the 15-man roster in the future."

The more famous a sports school is, the more important it is for official player quotas. Even if Coach Wesley is the team's first assistant coach, he has no right to decide the ownership of a formal quota.

But if you keep a player as a reserve player, he can still do it.

"Thank you." Zhou Zhiming thanked him.

In fact, Coach Wesley has already greeted him, and even if Zhuang Yu fails to pass the trial training, he will find a way to let him stay.

Zhou Zhiming could have come to UCLA as his first stop, but he didn't. Instead, he took Zhuang Yu to two high schools first, and then to Bryant University.

If it hadn't been for an accident at VILLE University, he would have taken Zhuang Yu to VILLE University and finally to UCLA.

Because he can't stay here forever.

Zhuang Yu will stay, and he is going back to China, so he wants Zhuang Yu to experience some things and learn some truths, otherwise it is easy for a person to suffer a loss here.

...

"Oh, unbelievable..."

Suddenly, an exclamation came.

Then a staff member came over and said excitedly to Coach Wesley: "Coach Wesley, I think you should come over and take a look."

"What's wrong?"
