Chapter 34

"Chen, this year is a good opportunity for us, right?"

Suddenly someone spoke again, but this middle-aged uncle looked a little strange, obviously not from the team.

The middle-aged uncle looked at Chen Mo with burning eyes, as if seeing a lover who fell in love at first sight.

You know, the team's locker room is not something that ordinary people can walk in.

"This is the head of the UCLA fan association, Harry Carey."

Kapono spoke again, and his eyes were also full of anticipation, which was the expectation of victory and championship.

"I……"

Chen Mo really wants to agree, isn't he the champion, if he doesn't get three, five or seven, how can he be worthy of me who is in charge of the system?
However, when he opened his mouth, he couldn't utter the words.

If it was just talking about it, he would of course agree. Anyway, talking about it doesn't require a person in charge.

However, there are some things that just don't go away.

Looking at the teammates with great expectations and the fans who are full of expectations, he knows exactly what this means.

Chen Mo is not a god, he has confidence, but not to the point of dismissing everyone.

He will also feel afraid, what if he cannot fulfill this promise?
Seeing Chen Mo's hesitation, the middle-aged uncle Harry was obviously anxious, and said quickly.

"Chen, it has been 95 years since UCLA won the championship last time, almost ten years ago.

We want a champion, we need a champion, please! "

Harry's voice is extremely sincere. It can be said that this is his greatest desire as a fan.

Seeing such a sincere gaze, to be honest, Chen Mo couldn't bear to refuse.

To put it bluntly, he is just an ordinary person with the most ordinary emotions.

"I'll try my best!"

In the end, Chen Mo still didn't dare to agree, because doing so would be irresponsible to herself and others.

Harry is somewhat disappointed, but he is still very excited, because this year's UCLA does have a lot to do.

"Chen, they really need this promise too much.

You may not know that the team has not performed well in recent years and has lost many fans.

Without the attention of fans, it will only make UCLA more difficult, whether it is grades or enrollment, it will become difficult.

Therefore, they need a commitment, and more importantly, a championship. I will assist you. "

After Harry left, Kapono found Chen Mo and said apologetically.

"Chen, and me, I'm about to graduate from college, I know I can't make it to the NBA, I hope it will have a good ending."

"It's true, Chen, we are ready."

"And I!"

……

Not only Kapono, but also old players such as Michael Fei, as well as newcomers such as Cummings, also supported Chen Mo.

After the victory over Duke University, everyone's hearts have changed, and they are full of expectations for this season.

Kapono smiled and said, "Chen, the boss of UCLA, you will lead us, right?"

Kapono's tone is very sincere, it can be seen that he can even give up the identity of the team leader.

As the boss of the current team, in fact, he is the one who should make the promise.

It's a pity that in the past 4 years, the higher the fans' expectations for him, the more disappointed they turned out.

Until now, Chen Mo turned out to be born, and finally let the fans see hope again, especially after the victory over Duke University.

Therefore, this promise must be made by him.

Why does every team set goals at the beginning of the season, isn't it to attract the attention of fans.

It's just that the eyes set by the team and the words spoken by the core of the team have absolutely different meanings.

Chen Mo smiled bitterly and said, "I will do my best."

There is no way, the NCAA competition system is doomed to great uncertainty in winning the championship.

Especially in the single-match elimination system of the tournament, a single mistake may ruin a year's hard work.

Now that the words have been spoken, Chen Mo will naturally work hard to get a good result when the time comes.

Obviously, Harry, a kind-looking fat uncle, will not be idle.

Do your best in Chen Mo's mouth, who knows what it will look like in Harry's mouth.

If he succeeds, he will be the hero of UCLA. If he fails, he will be sprayed.

A little helpless, but also a little excited, anticipation and uncertainty, isn't this the biggest charm of basketball?

What's the point if everything is as it seems, everything is expected?
Chen Mo was not in a hurry to train, but flipped through various newspapers bought by his teammates.

There is no way, he used to read the news through his mobile phone, and he has no habit of buying newspapers at all.

As UCLA players, everyone's focus is also very unified, which is about sports events.

In addition to the Los Angeles Basketball News reporting UCLA, other media did the same.

As a historically strong NCAA team, UCLA still has a fan market.

Although UCLA's performance has been mediocre in recent years, don't forget that in this game, they defeated the mighty Blue Devils.

Of course, the title is not as exaggerated as the Los Angeles Basketball News, but the major media are also more optimistic about UCLA's performance this season.

Los Angeles Sports Daily: UCLA swept the Blue Devils, and the Pacific Division revived.

Southern California News: Who is the overlord of the Pacific Division this year?

UCLA News: Great three-pointers, great players!

……

Not only UCLA has received great attention, but even Chen Mo has been widely reported.

If it was said that he was reported as the number one pick in his hometown before, then Chen Mo is now really getting the attention of the American basketball community.

The scouts of the major teams have already started to produce scout reports on Chen Mo, and these reports will soon appear in the managers' offices of each team.

Perhaps because of Chen Mo's promise and the expectations of the fans, the UCLA Bruins are getting more and more nervous.

During training, coach Steve LaVine even found that everyone has become a lot more active.

Especially those older ones who will graduate next year or leave the team, and now they are no longer dawdling.

In this kind of training, the time came to December, and the new ESPN draft predictions about the NBA were freshly released.

Chen Mo made it to the list as expected, but the result was not particularly gratifying, at the end of the first round.

What does this mean? ESPN is optimistic that Chen Mo will be selected, but it is only the last few in the first round.

Although this year is a big draft year, it's just that this result still makes Chen Mo a little unhappy.

You know, he is now averaging 35+5+5 per game, which is so exaggerated that he has no friends.

Although only two games were played, the two hearty victories are also very illustrative.

It's a pity that the so-called ESPN experts chose to turn a blind eye, or they didn't care at all.

Coach Steve knew that Chen Mo would participate in the NBA draft this year, and he specially comforted him.

"Don't listen to those experts talking nonsense, do they understand basketball? Trust me, Chen, the NBA is your stage."

Chen Mo nodded with a smile, but it would be impossible to say that he didn't care at all.

After all, who doesn't want to be the champion?Who wants to be looked down upon?
