January 8, 2003, Poly Arena, Los Angeles.

As the regular competition in the competition begins, the competitions gradually become denser, which is a requirement for physical fitness.

Take the Top Ten Pacific Leagues as an example. The ten teams play at home and away games, which is a total of 18 games.

In addition, there are several more tribute competitions in the competition area, and the number of games has exceeded 20.

These competitions need to end before March, after all, there will be division championships and NCAA championships in March.

After completing more than 20 games in two months, the load of this game is not so easy to survive.

At this time, the Poly Arena was already full, and the cheers and shouts were endless.

However, something is different, in addition to the cheers of UCLA, there are also the cheers of the University of Southern California.

Since it is a city derby, the fans of the University of Southern California will naturally come to the scene.

Before the game started, fans of both sides had already started to compete, compare voice and momentum.

When the teams of both sides encounter a battle to the end, the fans will naturally not be polite if they meet it.

After all, it is UCLA's home court, and UCLA's fans are obviously more than the University of Southern California fans.

However, in terms of momentum, UCLA does not have much advantage.

The away fans who can appear on the away game must be loyal, and these people are also stronger in combat.

To be honest, every derby is not only expected, but also the popularity is also worrying.

Not only are I worried that the players on the court will fight too hard, which will lead to the increasing movements and even start to take action.

And in the audience, especially where fans of both sides are in contact, something is likely to happen.

However, in terms of results, UCLA is stronger, and in this game, UCLA is more likely to win.

This season, UCLA has not lost a single defeat, winning ten consecutive victories, ranking first in the entire Pacific Top Ten leagues.

Even in the entire NCAA, UCLA is one of the three teams that have not lost so far.

The University of Southern California's record is not bad, with 5 wins and 4 losses in 9 games.

However, because the cross-district competitions are sometimes very humid, it cannot fully explain the team's record.

Overall, UCLA is strong, and it is not that easy for the University of Southern California to steal a victory.

Chen Mo experienced such a derby scene for the first time and felt the craziest and most passionate side of sports.

The game between UCLA and the University of Southern California is just a game in the NCAA Pacific Top 10 leagues.

But the attention this game attracted was absolutely shocking.

Major TV stations broadcast and countless media rushed to report, and the level of excitement was no worse than that of an NBA focus battle.

This is still within the entire meter range. If it is reduced to California and Los Angeles, many people have been looking forward to this game for a long time.

It can even be said that basketball enthusiasts throughout Los Angeles are now paying attention to this Los Angeles derby.

The sideline auditorium at the Poly Arena was even more star-studded, filled with people they knew and didn't know.

However, after the on-site commentary introduction, to be honest, the arrival of these people really shocked Chen Mo.

In terms of basketball celebrities, Lakers celebrities, Jabbar, Bill Walton, Walter Hazard...

These are all players who have played for UCLA.

There are also Bill Sharman, Paul Westfar, and two superstars from ancient times who also came to the scene.

Apart from the USC students, there may not be many other people who know these two, because they were active during the period decades ago.

Not only that, in addition to the players related to the two teams, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Clippers also appeared on the scene.

O'Neal and Kobe, who had just won three consecutive championships, also came to the scene together.

In addition to these active or retired players, Spielberg, Robert Zemikis...

After all, the University of Southern California has an extraordinary relationship with Hollywood and has the world's top film and television arts college.

There is also a large group of Hollywood stars, all of whom appear on the sidelines, so they naturally won’t miss the opportunity to appear like this.

The starry brilliance of this game will far surpass other competitions of the same level in the future.

Even in the NBA finals, such a grand occasion may not occur.

It can only be said that the showdown between UCLA and the University of Southern California, the two teams located in Los Angeles, have unique advantages.

It can be said that the game between the two teams is definitely the most concerned game in Hollywood.

"Little guy, I hope you can come to the NBA as soon as possible. I am looking forward to your performance in the NBA."

"Thank you, Shaq, I hope you can still win the championship this year and create real history."

"Of course, Shaq is unstoppable, but Chen, you are also great, you will be a great teammate."

...

This is the first time Chen Mo has seen an NBA star, and it is still so close that he naturally has to say hello.

However, most people are very reserved and look kind, but their words are very formulaic.

This is normal, after all, everyone is not familiar with it.

People like Bill Walton, standing as seniors, encouraged and looked forward to Chen Mo.

Even Kobe said hello coldly, which was in line with his personality.

As for O'Neal, he was very active and forced Chen Mo to chat for a while.

However, the conversation that was originally very normal, while saying the last sentence, O'Neal looked at Kobe intentionally or unintentionally.

As for Kobe, although he was sitting with O'Neal, in fact, the two basically had no communication.

Chen Mo quickly understood that this OK combination was almost at the point of falling apart.

As Kobe grows up and O'Neal grows up, such results are absolutely unchangeable.

However, some of these are some of the Lakers' indulgences in Kobe or even intentionally indulge them.

It's a very simple truth. Without the team's deliberate indulgence, Phil Jackson wouldn't have ignored it and let him and O'Neal make a fuss.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Chen Mo. Just treat the Lakers as gossip.

The only time he cares about, O'Neal will inevitably leave the Lakers, and I don't know if there is any chance to cooperate.

At present, the league's structure is relatively stable. As a newcomer, it is definitely not that easy to enter the NBA.

The biggest opportunity in front of him is to cooperate with O'Neal after he left the Lakers.

Wade was able to win the championship in the third year of his career, and naturally there was a reason for him, but O'Neal's joining the Heat was also very important.

Of course, this topic is still very long and there is no need to think about it.

Not to mention the NBA championship, it is too early to enter the NBA, so there is no need to think too much.

Now, all Chen Mo needs to do is to play the game well, set a small goal first, and win the NCAA championship.
Chapter completed!
