Chapter 55 University of Arizona
The only thing that makes people dissatisfied with normal competition is that some of the hot derby that was vigorously promoted before the game is not worthy of its name.
The fans and the scene were very popular, but when it comes to the game, there was no big suspense.
“MVP, MVP…”
Just as Chen Mo finished the game, fans shouted suddenly.
To be honest, even Chen Mo was surprised, after all, this "MVP" is not just a casual shout.
Only when a team is absolutely core and fans fully support it will there be such unified cheers.
"Chen Mo, come on!"
Not only that, Chen Mo also heard the familiar cheering sounds of cheering among these countless cheers.
There are many Chinese students at UCLA, and more and more people like to watch Chen Mo's competitions.
Chen Mo quickly waved to the fans, and then sat in the rest area and enjoyed the envy of his teammates.
Envy, but not jealous.
When you surpass others a little bit, others will be jealous of you, and when you surpass others a little bit, others will be envious of you.
UCLA players know that such treatment is definitely not something they can have.
Even Capono said enviously: "The "MVP" sound over the Poly Stadium hasn't sounded for a long time."
It's normal. After all, UCLA's results have been average in recent years, and fans are definitely not satisfied with this result.
Moreover, no player has shown such dominance, and the cheers of "MVP" are not something that everyone can enjoy.
"This "MVP" is not just me, but our entire team."
Of course, Chen Mo would not admit this statement stupidly, but said humbly.
Otherwise, people were just a little envious, but they would become jealous if they were not careful.
"The fans are so expectant now. If we can't get anything back this year, it will probably be difficult to explain."
When everyone heard Chen Mo say this, their eyes lit up: "We have a chance this year?"
"No matter what, I have to work hard. I'm about to graduate, and I don't want to leave with regret."
"Yes, if I get good results this year, maybe I can enter the NBA."
...
Everyone knows the current situation of the team and is in very good condition.
If Chen Mo's statement last time only allowed everyone to see a hope, but now it can be seen truly.
More importantly, Chen Mo successfully changed the topic, and the big guy's chat completely changed direction.
Perhaps it was really possible to see the opportunity, and in the next few days, everyone felt like they were injected with chicken blood.
Not only do you work hard during training, but you are also released without reservation during the competition.
St. John's University and Arizona State University, UCLA won another two-game winning streak.
So far this season, UCLA has won 12 consecutive victories and has never lost. It is definitely the most dazzling team in NCAA.
However, the next game is not that easy, and UCLA will face a real challenge.
University of Arizona Wildcats.
In the previous season, the 2000-2001 season, the University of Arizona lost a game in the finals and lost the championship.
However, reaching the final and winning the runner-up show the strength of this team.
As Arenas and others entered the NBA, the University of Arizona's performance declined last season, but it was still at the level of the Sweet Sixteen.
This year, with the growth of Luke Walton and Channing Fry and the addition of newcomer Iguodala, the team's strength has been greatly enhanced.
So far, the University of Arizona has only lost one game and is the best team in the Pacific Top Ten leagues except UCLA.
Moreover, this game was lost to the weak Louisiana University Tigers.
In that game, Fry and Salim were in a very bad state, which allowed the Tigers to seize the opportunity and eventually lost one point.
If it weren't for the accident of this game, the University of Arizona would have been in a winning streak at the moment.
As the two strongest teams in the same competition area, strong dialogues are very likely to determine the ownership of the top spot in the round-robin competition.
On January 18, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the game started at the Poly Stadium.
As the most important game in the round-robin game, it naturally attracted a large number of fans' attention.
In the stands, not only are there more and more international students and Chinese, but Chen Mo’s avatars and slogans are also increasing.
It can be seen that Chen Mo has now been fully recognized by UCLA fans.
"Hey, brother, are you Chinese too? You are from the same place as Chen?"
A Chinese student was shocked by the atmosphere at the scene, and suddenly a white guy next to him asked.
"Yes, Chen and I are from the same province, and we are considered fellow villagers."
Chinese students were a little excited. In the past, when they greeted Americans, they would always ask, are you Japanese or Korean?
However, now, especially in UCLA, the treatment of their Chinese students has been greatly improved and is very popular.
As for the reason, it is naturally very simple, it is because of Chen Mo!
"Really? That's great, you know? Chen can lead us to the championship this year."
...
"Hi, Lowry, we're meeting again."
The Suns' scout Lorikar looked bad, and he really didn't want to say hello to this person.
It was Hunter Rubin who stood in front of him.
There is only one possibility for Hunter Rubin to appear here, that is, the Heat have set their sights on Chen Mo.
After all, there are not many players among the two teams who are qualified to attract Hunter Rubin's attention.
Needless to say, Capono has abdicated and given up his sages. This is Chen Mo's team.
As for the University of Arizona, although the team is also very strong, they are strong in the whole, not the individual.
Even though he knew Hunter Rubin's purpose, Lowry was still a little unwilling to give up and asked quickly.
"Hi, Hunter, are you observing Chen too?"
"Of course, this is a good player and one of the best players of the year."
"But Chen has not announced his participation in the draft yet."
"It's still early to the draft, I believe he will."
...
Not only Lowry and Hunter Rubin, there are not a few scouts on the scene.
Chen Mo has attracted a lot of attention from NBA teams today, and he has the qualifications.
The game officially began, Channing Fry jumped to the ball, and the University of Arizona took the lead in the attack.
Channing Fry wanted the ball from mid-range, and broke through with Hollins and scored the ball toughly.
Attacks launched at mid-range inside are definitely the most difficult part of UCLA's defense.
If you use double-teams, not only will you miss someone, but also the opponent can easily wear the ball out of the double-teams at the middle distance.
If you don't double-team, you can only rely on Hollins to defend himself, which undoubtedly puts him in a lot of pressure.
No team is perfect. Since UCLA has chosen the running and bombing tactic, there will naturally be problems in defense.
Moreover, as UCLA plays better and better, opponents are also studying their playing style and trying every means to limit them.
