UCLA requested a suspension.
At this time, there were five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Coach Holland made a substitution, replaced the rotation lineup and replaced it with the main players, but Zhuang Yu was still there.
As soon as Mohammed came up, he was playing in singles, but he failed to score. Instead, he missed a man on the defensive end and was scored by the opponent, further widening the point difference.
In the next two or three rounds, Mohammed made another one, hitting the inside and causing a foul on the opponent. He only made one of two free throws on the free throw line.
In addition, Zhuang Yu also shot a three-pointer, but also failed to hit.
"Hey, it's like this again."
"There shouldn't have been a substitution. We were 4 points behind before. But after replacing Mohammed, the difference was immediately widened."
"It's still the same problem. Zhuang and Mohammed didn't cooperate at all. They were playing their own games when they were on the court at the same time. It's okay to encounter some weak teams. But once you encounter a strong team, it's okay for them to play their own games without any coordination. Playing without tactics simply won’t work.”
"That's right. Anyway, as long as the opponent sees Mohammed getting the ball, then just contain Mohammed. If Zhuang Yu gets the ball, then guard against Zhuang Yu's three-pointer..."
in the audience.
This made Mohammed very unhappy. He felt that he, a core player, was not respected. At the same time, he also felt a strong sense of crisis. He became more "alone" on the court. As long as he had the opportunity, he would play singles, even if there were some opportunities. It's not good, he's still playing alone.
The result is that Mohammed played beautiful data, but his efficiency was very low and he could not bring victory to the team.
In 7 games, Mohammed averaged 18.5 points, plus 4.5 rebounds, but only 1.0 assists. If the shooting percentage is not good, the data is very gorgeous.
Zhuang Yu also played very well, averaging 7 points, 15.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 7.6 games.
However, Mohammed and Zhuang Yu had no cooperation on the court. Although there were some passes to each other, they were all invalid passes and there was no cooperation.
Logically speaking, if a team has two players with such statistics, and the role players are not bad, they should win more and lose less.
But UCLA has 3 wins and 4 losses.
The problem is that it is no problem to play like this when encountering a weak team. Even if Mohammed is a little less efficient, he and Zhuang Yu can still win if they play their own roles.
But the team has such a big shortcoming. Once it encounters a strong team, the opponent will take advantage of this, and UCLA will often be very passive.
The reason why fans complained about Muhammad instead of Zhuang Yu is because many times it was Muhammad who lost points, and then Zhuang Yu went up to chase points.

Mohammed played too independently and was too inefficient. He scored a lot, but the team fell behind. Zhuang Yu is also scoring, but in addition to scoring himself, he can also organize offense, send seconds passes for teammates, and guard the opponent's arrow players...
One person leads the team to lose points, and the other person leads the team to chase points. The two people are good and bad when they are together... forming a weird state.
"It's over."
"We're going to lose again."
In the audience, the fans sighed.
Coach Holland's face was gloomy, he turned to look at the time, cursed with a dark face, and didn't even bother to call a timeout.
......
"Beep..."
When the game ended, the score was 68:76, and UCLA lost again.
In this game, Zhuang Yu scored 16 points, plus 4 rebounds, and 5 assists; Mohammed scored 19 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist.

From the data point of view, Muhammad is undoubtedly more eye-catching, but all the fans at the scene know that the loss will also be lost to Muhammad.
"Lost again."
“Now I’m really going to fall out of the top eight.”
"Shetter, why is it like this? Our UCLA lineup is obviously not bad, but why is the record like this?"
The home fans were disappointed and stood up to leave one after another, still complaining.
After losing this game, UCLA's record became 9 wins and 8 losses, and the winning rate was almost lowered to %.
At this time, UCLA's record ranks eighth in the Pac-12 League. If it loses another game, it will fall out of the top eight.
You know, coach Holland's original goal this season was to compete for the Pac-12 League championship and reach the championship.
It may be a bit difficult to compete for the championship, but as long as you reach the championship, you will have a chance. Coach Holland's goal is to at least enter the top 16.
But now it is almost out of the top eight in the standings. It is hard to say whether it can enter the knockout rounds, let alone compete for the Pac-12 League championship.

How could this make him feel so embarrassed?
"A bunch of trash." Coach Holland roared angrily, "That's how you play. You're worse than a bunch of kids. It's so embarrassing."
A group of players lowered their heads. Many of them felt aggrieved. They had tried their best, but the problem was not ours.
Perhaps Coach Holland also reacted and waved the others to disperse. He stopped Mohammed: "Mohammed, come with me."
......
A moment later, everyone heard a roar coming from the second floor of the arena - the head coach's office was on the second floor, and it was Coach Holland's voice.
After a few more minutes, Mohammed walked down with a livid face, glared at Zhuang Yu with resentful eyes, and left without speaking to anyone else.
Adams hesitated for a moment, then followed.
Soon, coach Holland also walked out and shouted with a straight face: "What are you doing here? Get out of here and go to training."
After speaking, he called to the three assistant coaches, "Come in and have a meeting."
Tadu@ A group of players dispersed with grimaces. They had just played a game and still had to train. It was really difficult for them. The three assistant coaches Wesley, Hayes, and Exon came to the head coach's office. As soon as they entered the door, they heard Coach Holland sigh and said: "I regret it."
