New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 104 The Regular Season Begins

The game day for the Bruins finally arrived. Although ten games of the Avengers had been played, it was just a starter after all.

Since the fall of UCLA, the Pac-[-] has become the dominant team of the University of Southern California Trojans.

Although there are also teams such as the University of Arizona Wildcats, the University of California, Berkeley Golden Bears and the University of Oregon Ducks that have been in the top 32 all year round.

But even the strongest Trojans haven't had a championship in a decade.

As far as the overall situation is concerned, the once glorious Twelve Leagues have lost their competitiveness...

The number of college basketball fans across the country has also plummeted to a terrible level, and there are even rumors that the league will be kicked out of the NCAA.

This is not groundless, after all, the university league has also introduced a business model.

Alliances that are too weak will undoubtedly waste their places in the playoffs, which is why some alliances are in an embarrassing situation.

Even after the 'Smiling Butcher' Wacker became the head coach, even the Los Angeles media unanimously looked down on the future of the Bruins.

Because of his poor coaching experience with the NBA Lakers, Wacker has become a target of public criticism.

That, combined with threatening to win like a lunatic at a fundraising party, made him the laughing stock of basketball circles.

After that, it would be okay to restart the Avengers battle, but when their schedule came out, people saw that there were at least three games that were impossible to win.

Especially the final game against the Duke University Blue Devils made everyone exclaim incomprehensible.

A fish belly dare to challenge the boss of the alliance?This is not courage, it is simply striking a stone with an egg.

But it is impossible for a team that is preparing to lead the team to the playoffs to make such a schedule, so that reporters even call the Bruins' schedule a suicide journey...

When the Bruins won three consecutive victories, Los Angeles reporters were still saying that it was just rookies pecking at each other.

Five consecutive victories, when they defeated the Orangemen and the Devil's Deacons, finally some people began to face up to the strength of the Bruins.

After completing the nine-game winning streak, especially after the victory over the Bulldogs, not only the fans in Los Angeles, but the entire Pacific League were in high spirits, because they hadn't seen such a strong team for a long time.

If there is a team that is worried about their rise, it may be the Trojans who hold ten points and aim to enter the playoffs at the top of the league.

After all, any accident may happen in the regular season, and the difference of one point is huge.

However, because the opponent of the Bruins in the last battle was the invincible Blue Devils, no one thought they could get ten wins.

No one in the Trojans, from the coach to the players, thinks that this game may be upset.

After all, they have been eliminated by the Blue Devils three times in the playoffs, and each time they were brutally brutal with a big score without any suspense...

When the Bruins finally won, they couldn't believe their eyes.

The head coach of the Trojans even kicked a chair on the spot, because the Blue Devils showed no signs of letting go.This means that the Bruins already have the strength to win the championship...

So far, before the start of the regular season, the Bruins have turned into the most powerful contender for the first place in the league.

Many media also listed them as one of the five strongest teams this season, and they have become the same as the traditional strong teams such as the Blue Devils and Tigers!
The UCLA Bruins have become a new online celebrity team in Los Angeles, and the team's star players Zhang Yi and Ezgallo are even more popular.

Today, when the regular season officially started, many reporters stayed at the Polly Garden Arena early in order to seize the opportunity to interview Zhang Yi and others...

However, Wacker proposed to the school to add a lot of security guards and staff, making it impossible for idlers to enter the arena and could only surround the outside.

This kind of scene has not been seen in UCLA for a long time.Because the first game of the Bruins was against the University of Washington Huskies at home, Zhang Yi and the others were carrying out normal training with a relaxed expression on their faces.

Conversely, there was lamentation in the basketball gymnasium of the University of Washington, and the head coach Moses even took a bottle of whiskey in his hand to drink away his sorrow.

Since playing a friendly match with the Bruins, their fighting spirit has become slack, especially the performance of the main player David fell to the bottom.

As their opponents won ten consecutive victories smoothly, they lost consecutive games and became cash machines for other teams.

"It's all about the Bruins! It's all about Wacker! And that Zhang Yi!" With tears in his eyes, Moses smashed the bottle in his hand.

"Let's go! Play with me, even if they lose, they will have to take off a layer of skin!" He only heard a greeting, but only three or two players responded.

"There is a gap in strength, it is impossible to win!" David said helplessly, and almost everyone nodded in agreement.

"If you say such frustrating words again, you don't need to appear on the stage!" Moses roared angrily, but he regretted it after saying this, because David immediately raised his hands and replied, "It's just right if you don't make it, so you won't be ashamed... "

The so-called soldiers love one, the general loves a nest, even the leader is so mourned, how can the others be better.

The whole Huskies team got on the plane on time, arrived at UCLA, warmed up for normal training, and rested, but there was no passion on their faces, and even a little bit of fighting spirit could not be seen.

Before nightfall, spectators began to enter the arena one after another, and the food area of ​​the arena became lively again, especially the hot dog and burger area was crowded with customers.

Countless people took photos in front of the commemorative bronze statues around the arena and posted on social media, and the arena is on fire again...

When the popularity comes, the money is not far away.The same is true on the basketball court.

Zhang Yi and others are very happy to see the revival of Polly Garden Arena, especially because of their outstanding performance.

Everyone hopes that the home team they support is a winning team, and this Bruins team has brought them different expectations.

Among the countless white and black audiences, there were even quite a few yellow-skinned people. Of course they came here for Zhang Yi. After all, players with an oriental face are very rare, and players as strong as him are even rarer in the world.

In Los Angeles, in just two months, almost all the grandpas had known Zhang Yi.Regardless of whether they like basketball or not, they all appreciate or like this boy, because he plays with the vitality of an oriental player!

The game was about to start, but the auditorium had become a carnival place for sports and entertainment stars, even Kobe and James were both watching the game again, which detonated the scene even more!
It was also broadcast live on TV stations within the scope of the Pacific League. The Huskies players were stunned when they entered the court. For them, this is not a basketball game, it is simply a grand event.

Zhang Yi and others are no longer surprised, after all, they have seen everything in the game with the Blue Devils.

There was nothing to say about the game. The Bruins won overwhelmingly. In order to take care of their opponents, Zhang Yi and other starters only played in the first half.

Even so, they still won by [-] points. It is conceivable that the strength gap between the two sides is huge.

Although the competition was not intense, the audience was very happy, because they came here just to watch the Bruins win, Esgar's cool score, and Zhang Yi's dunk that broke through the gravity of the earth!
It's enough that they didn't disappoint anyone. 1 point is in hand, because the total points are 11, the Bruins are also ranked first in the twelve leagues...
