The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 53 Set a Small Goal First
On January 2003, 1, Pauley Arena in Los Angeles.

With the start of the regular season in the division, the competition has gradually become more intensive, which is a requirement for physical fitness.

Take the Big Ten Pacific League as an example, ten teams, one home and one away game, that is a full 18 games.

Coupled with the fact that there will be a few competitions in the Kua Division, the number of games has exceeded 20.

And these games need to end before March, after all, there are division championships and NCAA championships in March.

In two months, more than 20 games have been completed. This game load is not so easy to survive.

At this time, the Polly Arena was already full of seats, and the cheers and shouts were endless.

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

Since it was a city derby, the fans of the University of Southern California would naturally come here on their own initiative.

The game has not yet started, and the fans of both sides have already started to compete, comparing voice and momentum.

If the two teams meet and are going to fight to the death, then the fans will naturally not be polite if they meet.

After all, it is UCLA's home stadium, and UCLA fans are obviously more than USC fans.

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

The fans of the away team who can appear in the away game must be diehards, and these people's combat effectiveness is also stronger.

To be honest, every derby is not only exciting, but also worrying about its popularity.

It's not just that I'm worried that the players on the court will fight too hard, which will lead to more and more movements, and even move their hands.

And in the auditorium, especially where fans from both sides come into contact, accidents are also very likely.

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

This season, UCLA is undefeated and has won ten consecutive victories, No. 1 in the entire Pacific Big Ten.

Even in the entire NCAA, UCLA is one of the three teams so far without a defeat.

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

It's just that, because cross-division competitions sometimes have a lot of moisture, it can't fully explain the team's record.

In general, UCLA is strong, but it is not so easy for USC to steal a victory.

It was the first time for Chen Mo to experience such a derby scene, and he felt the craziest and most passionate side of sports.

The game between UCLA and the University of Southern California is nothing more than a game in the NCAA Pacific Big Ten.

But the attention this game has attracted is absolutely shocking beyond compare.

The major TV stations broadcast it, and countless media rushed to report it. The excitement was no worse than a focus battle in the NBA.

This is still within the scope of the full meter. If it is narrowed down to California, it is narrowed down to Los Angeles. Many people have been looking forward to this game for a long time.

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

The auditorium on the sidelines of the Polly Arena is even more star-studded, full of people who know and don't know.

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

In terms of basketball celebrities, Lakers legend Skyhook Kareem, Bill Walton, Walter Hazzard...

These are players who have played for UCLA.

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

Except for the students of USC, not many other people know about these two, because they were active decades ago.

More than that, in addition to the players related to the two teams, the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers also had players present on the scene.

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

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

After all, the University of Southern California has a great relationship with Hollywood and has the world's top School of Film and Television Arts.

There was also a large group of Hollywood stars who also appeared on the sidelines. Naturally, they would not miss this opportunity to appear on camera.

The star-studded level of this game has far surpassed other games of the same level in the future.

Even the NBA finals may not be able to have such a grand occasion.

It can only be said that the matchup between UCLA and the University of Southern California, the two teams located in Los Angeles, has a unique advantage.

It can be said that the match between the two teams is definitely the match that Hollywood pays the most attention to.

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

"Thank you, Shaq, I hope you can win a championship this year and make real history."

"Of course, Shaq is unstoppable, but you're great, Chen, and you'll be a great teammate."

……

It was Chen Mo's first time meeting an NBA star, and it was so close, so naturally he had to say hello.

It's just that most people are very reserved and seem very kind, but their words are very formulaic.

This is also normal, after all, we are not familiar with each other.

People like Bill Wharton, standing in the position of seniors, encouraged and looked forward to Chen Mo.

Even Kobe greeted him very coldly, which was also in line with his character.

As for O'Neill, he was very active, and he insisted on chatting with Chen Mo for a while.

It's just that, in the originally normal conversation, when he said the last sentence, O'Neill glanced at Kobe intentionally or unintentionally.

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

Chen Mo soon understood that this OK combination was on the verge of falling apart.

As Kobe grows up, as O'Neal grows old, this result is absolutely unchangeable.

It's just that some of the Lakers indulged Kobe, even intentionally.

The reason is very simple, if there is no deliberate indulgence by the team, Phil Jackson would not be able to completely ignore it and let him and O'Neal make trouble.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Chen Mo, just treat the Lakers' affairs as a gossip.

The only time he cared was that O'Neal was bound to leave the Lakers, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to cooperate.

At present, the structure of the league is relatively stable. Entering the NBA as a rookie and wanting to win the championship as soon as possible is definitely not that easy.

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

Wade was able to win the championship in the third year of his career, which naturally has his reasons, but it is also very important for O'Neal to join the Heat.

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

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

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

That's right, today's Chen Mo's goal is not just to perform well and enter the NBA. If there is a chance, he will naturally win a championship first.
