It was the right decision. People are moved by circumstances, and when a familiar figure is suddenly missing from a place where everyone has been training and playing, the mind can be overwhelmed.
Therefore, the game on the 24th was also arranged at the old Memorial Coliseum instead of the Rose Garden.
Even so, a somber atmosphere still enveloped the entire team, and everyone pretended to be calm, but in reality, they had no heart for training.
Surprisingly, Bobby Berman seemed to be back to normal, not only normal, he even looked full of energy.
His exhaustion seemed to have completely vanished. During training, he kept shouting, swearing, and demanding everyone to lift their spirits and win this championship.
In fact, everyone could see that Lewis and Petrović's departure hit Berman the hardest.
