The next opponent of the Stanford University Scarlet Team is the Oregon Ducks.

Oregon can be said to be a well-known presence in the American college basketball world. Although it lacks in popularity compared to schools such as North Carolina, Duke University, etc., in fact... it can be called a wealthy team.

They have reached the championship 14 times and won the first place in the Pacific Division 6 times.

In 2003, he even reached the top 8 of the tournament.

However, in the past two years, after the new coach Dana Oldman took office, the team began a long rebuilding period. However, at the beginning of this season, they finally had a wonderful chemical reaction and once posted a 10-game winning streak, occupying the Pacific Division.

's top name.

But as point guard Aaron Brooks and core small forward Malik Hairston were injured one after another, their record plummeted. However, as they returned in the last five games, their record immediately improved. They even launched a counterattack.

The slogan for breaking into the championship.

With Stanford winning the last game, they are now in fourth place in the conference with Oregon.

For the Oregon Ducks, this game is a must-win. If they win this game, they can successfully enter the championship as fourth in the Pacific Division.

And Stanford... doesn't look like a formidable opponent.

So, they are full of confidence.

"Hey, Aaron. Did you watch the recent game? Stanford's No. 10 player is almost as fast as you. I think there will be a big battle between you." Team insider Marty Lenning teased him.

Senior brother.

Oregon is known for its small-ball style of play. Their team's trident is Marty Lenning (sophomore), Malik Hairston (sophomore), and Aaron Brooks (junior).

Brooks is 1.8cm tall and weighs 73kg. He is a defender with extremely fast speed and strong offensive ability. In the NCAA, some people even call him Allen Iverson.

Hairston is 198cm tall and weighs 100kg. He was selected as a McDonald's All-Star in high school, but after entering college, he fell slightly behind the players who competed with him at the time. He plays the swingman position on the court, is strong and is good at fast offense.

.(Note: He was selected by the Suns with the 18th overall pick in the second round in 2008, and was subsequently traded to the Spurs, where he played for two seasons.)

Marty Lenning is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 98 kilograms. He is the leading scorer of the Oregon Ducks. At least at the college level, he has shown top-level ability inside and outside. He can post up and pull out.

He shoots three-pointers from outside the three-point line. On the defensive end, his style of play is very tough and he is often criticized for using small moves when defending. But it has to be said that he is the patron saint of the Ducks' restricted area under the small ball play style. (Marty

Lunning was the No. 53 pick in 2008 and represented the Rockets in the summer league. He was a big killer in the NCAA, but in the NBA he was a bit half-hearted and unable to adapt.)

"I didn't watch that so-called game. However, in the Pacific Division, it is impossible for anyone to be faster than me. If we meet, I will definitely let him taste the taste of car exhaust."

Aaron Brooks is very thin, but his tone is extremely arrogant.

On the bus to Stanford, no one doubted his confidence.

Because he is so strong.

…

At the same time, on a bus returning to Stanford, coach Jamie Lin also put away the joy of just winning a difficult victory. He began to explain the technical characteristics of each Oregon player to the players, and also continued

Once you find the opposing players, tell them what details they should pay attention to, even details such as a certain player likes to break through with his left hand and finish with his right hand.

It must be said that Lin takes his work very seriously and meticulously, and these large amounts of collection work often consume him all night long. Without the help of an assistant, he can only complete it alone.

Although the whole world knew that he was just a temporary worker who was thrown into the head coaching position, he firmly grasped this opportunity, although it was slim, it was consistent.

"You can think of Brooks as the offensive version of you. He is smaller than you and about the same size, but his offensive power is very strong. You must concentrate 100% on the court, otherwise he will complete the direct attack very quickly.

Attack of the Yellow Dragon."

Jamie Lin walked up to Li Zhen, and he began to introduce Brooks’ information.

He even took out his thick notebook and clicked on the video materials he edited to show Li Zhen.

Brooks is indeed very much like Iverson, of course...a backward version in all aspects.

"Oregon also plays small ball tactics, and their offensive power is very strong. The three core players performed their respective duties and performed very well..."

When Jamie Lin was talking, Li Zhen added: "I think we should cut off the connection between their three players. If Brooks keeps playing alone, our probability of winning will be much higher."

"My advantage is assisting my teammates, and his advantage is scoring. When we all play to our strengths, our winning rate will be higher."

Li Zhen said confidently.

His words made Jamie Lin a little surprised, but also a little hopeful: If we really beat the University of Oregon, we really have a chance to enter the championship! That is March Madness, the most intense basketball battlefield in the United States.

No one wants to enter the March Madness tournament, and countless players and coaches have become famous in a game that determines the outcome.

Jamie Lin clenched his fists tightly, his dream is to become a top coach.

But soon, he relaxed and said to Li Zhen: "Don't be pressured to win or lose. Play to your own level. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. The most important thing is, don't get injured."

He attaches great importance to Li Zhen's health.

He knew that Li Zhen was a competitive player, and he was afraid that Li Zhen would do risky things to win again. Although he won the last game, when Li Zhen and Pruitt collided continuously, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Eyes popped out.

The bus arrived at the school at eight o'clock in the evening. After eating the victory meal carefully prepared by the school from the school cafeteria, the players returned to the dormitory with beautiful smiles.

But Li Zhen went straight to the gym. After performing simple warm-up exercises, he began to practice crazily.

On the one hand, he wants to improve his game level, and on the other hand, he hopes to sweat more. To let the talent baby in his mind come out again, it is best to gain more strength.

Anyway... stealing talents from others will not really destroy others: as long as they practice diligently, they can still practice back. Moreover, it is also a warning to those fallen players. If they do not keep themselves clean, their innate talents will not accompany them.

You will grow old.

With this idea, Li Zhen's psychological burden was reduced rapidly.

He practiced shooting on the court for two hours, and then went to the gym to lift irons for almost an hour and a half. The training clothes were wet and dry, and dry and wet again. The amount of perspiration must have exceeded the last training.

However, there was no reaction in my mind.

It seems...the difficulty is indeed getting higher every time.

However, he was not depressed by this, but became more motivated.

As long as there is hope to become stronger, isn't it just training hard?

If hard work can change destiny, Li Zhen is willing to work hard all his life!
