Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 25 The First Battle of USC ([-])

According to the NCAA's arrangement, UCLA's opening game is scheduled for November 11, local time, and the opponent is also very interesting, the University of Southern California, also in California, referred to as USC.

I don't know if it's a deliberately arranged schedule by the league, but it is an indisputable fact that UCLA and USC are feuds.Although their grievances in sports events stem from rugby and American football, and almost everything they do is to humiliate each other's mascots. As long as the teams of the two schools meet, there will be fierce sparks.And this year, the USC Trojans also have two pillars, one inside and one outside, OJ Mayo on the outside and Ty Gibson on the inside.

Mayo was already well-known throughout the country in high school. He led his team to win the Ohio State Championship for two consecutive years, and also won the title of Mr. State Basketball.Later, he returned to his hometown of Huntington High School in West Virginia, where he won his third consecutive intercontinental basketball championship. He averaged 29 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists per game in high school.Gibson is relatively less dazzling, but he is also a powerful fighter.

The opening game didn't feel special to freshmen like Ye Feng and Love, but to players like Westbrook, Mbah a Moute and Shipp who played at least one season at UCLA, it was. It is a war that does not require mobilization.Holland also knows this. He has no doubts about the mentality of the two freshman players, so he just asked Westbrook to go to the dormitory to tell them about the grievances between the two schools.

Looking at the eloquent Westbrook, Ye Feng asked with a half-smile: "So you mean that this game can only win but not lose?" Westbrook gave him a dissatisfied look, but still nodded.Ye Feng slapped him on the shoulder: "Don't you know my temperament? Even if it's not a blood feud, I will try my best to win. For me, I don't need to mobilize for any game!" Westbrook Looking at Ye Feng with a calm face, he was thoughtful.

As last season's semi-final team, the game was held at UCLA's home court.However, the players still have to go to class the day before the game. After this period of time, Ye Feng's classmates already knew that this tall Asian boy was the school team's starting shooting guard. On the UCLA campus, this status meant star treatment. .

Although everyone still listens to the professor's lectures in class, as soon as the get out of class bell rings, Ye Feng will always be surrounded by a large group of people. From this, it can be seen that NCAA fans in American colleges and universities do occupy a lot Great proportions.But today is different, because Ye Feng was directly dragged out of the classroom by the aggressive Zhou Yaqi.The boys who were in class with Ye Feng saw that it was an Asian beauty, and they all showed a clear smile on their faces, while the girls looked at the two with resentment, wondering if they were regretting that the girl was not him.

After leaving the classroom, Zhou Yaqi's expression immediately became pitiful, she looked at Ye Feng with tears in her eyes, and said, "Little Ye Zi, look at the opening game tomorrow, can you help me get eight tickets? Please, please!" Ye Feng felt a big headache, but he still said: "Eight tickets, right? You come to the arena early tomorrow, and I'll give you the tickets, okay?" Zhou Yaqi immediately showed a tricky smile, and put a stick The lollipop was stuffed in Ye Feng's hand, he said goodbye with a smile, and then bounced away.Ye Feng looked helplessly at the lollipop in his hand, peeled off the wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth.

Ye Feng also felt very uncomfortable with selling tickets for this kind of college game at first, but he is used to it now, after all, this is the United States, and there is an all-round gap between the NCAA and the CUBA.Therefore, NCAA games will sell tickets at the home court. Of course, the price is relatively low. The seat closest to the stadium may only be a few tens of dollars. Moreover, players on both sides can get a certain amount of tickets. The professional level is almost comparable to that of the NBA.

When it was time for lunch, Ye Feng called Westbrook. As the captain of the team, everyone would go to him if they wanted a ticket.Hearing Ye Feng on the phone asking for tickets confidently, Westbrook joked: "Ye, I just made this call to you, I believe you have already integrated into the atmosphere of American basketball." When he knew that Ye Feng is now In the cafeteria, he immediately said that he would come over with the tickets now, Ye Feng thanked him and hung up the phone.

Soon Westbrook came to the cafeteria, and of course he was surrounded by fans at the door.After finally breaking through the obstacles of the fans, he walked up to Ye Feng and sat down, and slapped eight tickets on the table.Seeing Ye Feng grab the tickets in his hand with lightning speed, Westbrook rolled his eyes: "Ye, you don't care about me at all, you only care about your tickets."

Ye Feng took the time to put the tickets into his bag, and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't care about you. As the captain of the team, you deserve this kind of treatment. What do you want me to care about you? And this season, you have been favored by the fans." Containment will definitely become something you often encounter, and there is nothing wrong with getting used to it in advance." Westbrook blinked in confusion, feeling that what Ye Feng said was very reasonable, and there was nothing to refute, so he had no choice but to sternly He stuffed the food on the plate into his mouth.Ye Feng smiled, and also started to gobble it up.

The game started at 11:13 p.m. on November [-]th, but as soon as it arrived at [-]:[-] p.m., the whole UCLA team began to warm up in the arena, stretching all the muscles and joints of the whole body.In order not to affect the game, Holland had already ordered the players to finish their dinner before [-] pm, otherwise it would put a great burden on their bodies.Under the strict supervision of the head coach, everyone obediently ate dinner early as required, so no one felt uncomfortable during the warm-up.

Suddenly, Coach Black called Ye Feng, who was jogging around the field, and shook Ye Feng's cell phone in his hand.Ye Feng stopped in his tracks, took the phone and looked, it turned out to be Zhou Yaqi's call.He hurriedly called back, and as soon as the call got through, Zhou Yaqi roared loudly: "Little Ye Zi, are you letting me go? You don't answer the phone! We are standing outside the arena and can't get in. You can figure it out!"

Ye Feng was sweating profusely, and he repeatedly begged for forgiveness: "Grandma, we are still warming up now, isn't it normal that we haven't received a call? And what's so interesting about you coming in early?" Zhou Yaqi snorted and said arrogantly : "I don't care, you help me take out the tickets now!"

Ye Feng smiled helplessly, but he didn't dare to neglect, he greeted Coach Black, quickly took out the tickets from his bag, and ran towards the entrance of the arena like a gust of wind.When he ran out, Zhou Yaqi was looking at him viciously with her hands on her hips, and there were four or five people standing behind her, all of whom looked like Chinese students studying abroad.

Seeing Zhou Yaqi's angry appearance, although Ye Feng didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, he still felt guilty for a while.He stuffed the tickets to Zhou Yaqi, and then quickly changed the subject: "Sister, don't you want to introduce these people?"

Zhou Yaqi gave him a look of "I will settle the score with you when I have time", and began to introduce her companions one by one: "These are all overseas students from Taiwan, and they are also my fellow villagers. We are all Bruins fans." etc. After she briefly introduced everyone, she was about to introduce Ye Feng to her companions. A handsome and elegant boy walked up to him and said with a smile: "Ye Feng, the starting shooting guard of the Bruins, there is no one in our circle of Chinese fans who does not like Ye Feng." I know, so I don’t need to introduce it, do I?”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Ye Feng: "Hello, I, Chen Shuolin, from Taipei, a junior in the Department of Mathematics, College of Arts and Sciences." Ye Feng smiled and held his hand: "I didn't expect that Brother Chen looked so Gentle and handsome guys also like basketball." Chen Shuolin said with a wry smile: "It seems that you can see some tricks, but compared to a player like Brother Ye who gallops on the court, it is still a bit worse."

Ye Feng smiled: This person is a bit interesting.He turned his head and said to Zhou Yaqi: "Senior sister, I have to go in and warm up. I will find time to apologize to you after this game is over."

Zhou Yaqi waved her hand grandly: "I'll forgive you, and later you will blow up the USC on the opposite side, it's your wish." What else could Ye Feng say?I had no choice but to agree quickly, and returned to the court in a hurry.

Watching Ye Feng disappear into the player tunnel, Zhou Yaqi showed a sly smile on her face. She waved the ticket in her hand and said loudly: "Let's go first and see how they are preparing." : It's none of your business how people prepare?Just wait and see the game!But no one said it directly, and everyone followed Zhou Yaqi to the stands while complaining secretly.

The teammates didn't notice that Ye Feng went out in a hurry and came back in a hurry. They were still warming up under the leadership of the assistant coach.Just as the team finished warming up, another group of people walked out of the player tunnel, wearing red jerseys with yellow borders, walking into the field with their heads held high, looking like dancing flames.Ye Feng's eyes were suddenly as sharp as a knife: USC Trojans!
Since the two sides are mortal enemies, there is no need to give each other a good look. UCLA chose to ignore the opponent directly, because this is their home field and their dignity. However, a small group of players still turned their heads and stared at them. No. 32 in the USC formation saw Ye Feng's cold gaze, and shook his finger contemptuously, judging by the shape of his mouth, it seemed that he had cursed.

Ye Feng snorted coldly and raised a middle finger towards him, he knew who it was. OJ Mayo, USC's main shooting guard, is a player who is completely against him in the game. As long as this kind of top player in the NCAA appears on the opposite side, Ye Feng is very interested in fighting against them.Even if the opponent is an inside player, Ye Feng also hopes to prove that he is stronger by constantly breaking through and killing and playing with his feet.

"You are dead!" Ye Feng silently sentenced Mayo to death.
