Chapter 15 debut NCAA
"Let's take a look at today's starting lineup. Wow, they are all rookies, and there is only one second-year Cummings."

That's right, the first-year rookie couldn't make up five players, so he had to arrange for Cummings to play.

The position on the court is like this, Josiah is the point guard, Chen Mo is the shooting guard, Cummings is at the third position, Ryan is at the fourth position, and Hollins is at the fifth position.

This lineup is quite good, except for the point guard, all of them are above 195cm in height.

On the other side, except for the center forward, none of them is more than 2 meters tall, and even Ryan is a head taller than the opponent's center forward.

As the whistle sounded, Hollins jumped to the ball on the first attack for UCLA.

According to the tactics, Chen Mo didn't ask for the ball immediately, but chose to cross positions with Cummings, while Ryan blocked for him.

It's a pity that, perhaps for the first time in the game, Ryan was obviously at a loss and didn't block anyone at all.

The tactics failed, and Chen Mo was looked down upon again, so Garcia had no choice but to come by himself.

It's a pity that his breakthrough didn't completely get rid of the defense, and he barely missed the shot.

Although Hollins has an advantage in height, the opponent's center is obviously stronger than him, and he gets stuck in the position and takes off the rebound.

Back to defense, Virginia Union University's tactics are obviously not that particular, and the ball is directly given to the shooting guard.

Burleigh, the shooting guard of Virginia Union University, happens to be the core of the entire team.

Seeing the movement of Chen Mo when he appeared just now, he had long been envious, and now he took a special look at Chen Mo.

"Rookie, welcome to the NCAA."

Chen Mo was completely speechless, where did you get the confidence?

Burleigh broke through without even a fake cross step breakthrough.

Just when Burleigh thought he was going to take a step, he felt a figure appearing in front of him, completely blocking him.

Who else but Chen Mo?

Burleigh was stunned. Is it really difficult?
Fortunately, his ball-handling skills are good, and he instinctively stepped back to open up space, otherwise Chen Mo would have cut him off directly.

After the adjustment, Burleigh broke through again, this time halfway through, barely leaning on Chen Mo to make a shot.

Burleigh's height is only about 190cm, facing Chen Mo's long arms, he had to temporarily adjust his shooting method.

"Bang!"

Without even thinking about it, the basketball hit the rim directly.

However, what surprised people was not here, but inside, the opponent's center made one card and two, grabbed the rebound, made a fake move, and then succeeded in dunking.

Facing two opponents who were taller than him, the opponent's center did not panic at all, but played with ease.

"Ryan, you are taller than him, you don't need to jump up at all."

Fortunately, the two people have the same name, and Chen Mo reminded one, which can be regarded as reminding two people.

The two took the initiative to take responsibility and said that they would definitely keep it next time.

It's a pity that the two were still too nervous. In the offensive round, Reinhardt's unmarked mid-range was empty.

Looking back, the opponent's small forward rushed directly over Hollins' head to grab the rebound.

……

Six minutes later, UCLA fell behind 6:1, and the only point was Josiah's foul free throw.

"TJ, let's fight next."

Hearing Chen Mo's words, TJ Cummings nodded, and he also heard the dissatisfaction of the audience.

Although the audience understood the rookie's nervousness, they didn't care so much when the score fell behind.

This time, the tactic was simple. Cummings blocked Chen Mo, and Chen Mo came out to catch the ball.

"Don't even think about it!"

Burleigh looked at Chen Mo intently, thinking that he could teach the rookie a lesson, who would have thought that he would be blocked by the opponent for three consecutive attacks.

If it weren't for the rebounds inside, no one can tell whether it will be ahead or behind.

Knowing that the opponent is not an ordinary rookie, but he is still not reconciled and insists on competing.

Suddenly, Chen Mo moved, and Burleigh immediately became vigilant, ready to block the opponent's breakthrough at any time.

"Don't try to break through me!"

As soon as the words were finished, Chen Mo suddenly pulled up in front of him, but he had no time to jump up.

So there was this scene, Chen Mo pulled up high, and the opponent's No. 7 player tried to reach under Chen Mo's armpit, trying to interfere with Chen Mo's shot.

Many years later, this poster is still very popular. This is Chen Mo's first goal when he came to the United States and went to the NBA. This is the starting point of his journey.

"brush!"

Without any accident, the basketball went into the net hollow, and the score was almost 4:8.

It was the turn of Virginia Union University to attack, and the fourth position pulled out from the outside and missed.

This time, Cummings took the initiative to enter the inside and finally protected the rebound.

Despite the fact that Cummings is only a little over 2 meters tall, in fact, he can play the fourth position.

Cummings took a look at the situation, and instead of handing the basketball to Josiah, he threw it towards the frontcourt.

At the same time, Chen Mo had already got rid of the opponent's players and appeared in the opponent's half at a high speed.

After catching the ball, he dribbled a step, then jumped high, and smashed the tomahawk!
6:8
It's not that Chen Mo doesn't want to play some moves, such as 360 degrees, or jumping from the free throw line.

He really doesn't have that ability, even though he can't jump low, in fact it all depends on his height and wingspan, and he doesn't have enough time to fly.

"boom!"

The sound of mountains and tsunami erupted at the scene, and the voice of cheering for UCLA was endless.

With Chen Mo's outburst, the score finally stabilized and even kept approaching.

Finally, 2 minutes later, Chen Mo broke through to attract a double-teamer, and passed through to Cummings who made an air cut for a layup.

14:12
UCLA completed the overtake.

There is still a huge gap in strength between the NCAA's first-level league and the second-level league, not only the overall gap, but also the individual strength.

Seeing the lead in the score, Hollins and others became more relaxed, and their performance gradually became normal.

As a 6.10-foot big man, he really can do whatever he wants in the paint.

Well, this is just a second-tier league team.

In the NCAA, there are many teams in the first league, not to mention the second league.

After all, the NCAA is considered a league with a particularly large gap in strength. Except for a few major regions, there are very few things to watch.

No, Kapono and Thompson didn't even have a chance to play in the end, and the second half of the game was completely spent.

And Chen Mo, after a few minutes of symbolic appearance in the second half, did not continue to play.

To be honest, with UCLA's current strength, the warm-up match with Virginia Union University is a bit tasteless.

It's just that these warm-up matches are all signed contracts, especially because they are related to the broadcast TV stations, so they can't do without playing.

The final result was 97:61, and UCLA got off to a good start to the season.

After just one game, Chen Mo is already a little famous, at least in UCLA.

In other words, Chen Mo far underestimated the influence of the NCAA and the influence of the Bruins in UCLA.

The next day, the news related to Chen Mo directly appeared in the local newspapers in Los Angeles.

UCLA's internal media even carried out a special report, and Chen Mo began to enter the attention of the American basketball community.
