Rekindling the dream of becoming a star
Chapter 205 Our Ambition
Chapter 205 Our Ambition
"Dear TX Sports members, now we are broadcasting the NCAA Pacific Conference playoffs for you. This game is between USC and UCLA. This is the quarterfinals. It will decide life and death. The winner will advance to the semifinals, and the loser will end the season. I am Duan Ran, and I will explain it to you."
Duan Ran finished his opening remarks in one breath. He glanced at the CCTV group next to him, and then said to Yang Yi next to him: "Teacher Yang, this scene depends on us."
"Well, just do it smoothly and don't cause any trouble, and it will be a complete success." Yang Yi, who was wearing glasses and had a serious face but a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth, smiled and waved his hand.
The two looked towards the court. Chen Fang's back looked particularly good, tall and powerful, with his dark shaved head, which made him particularly eye-catching.
Now everyone knows that Chen Fang has always worn number 21, and has been wearing this number since high school in China, but no one is sure. Yang Yi wants to ask Duan Ran because, at present, Duan Ran has the most interactions with Chen Fang.
"Teacher Duan, what's the significance of number 21?"
Duan Ran shook his head: "I'm really not sure, but some things are very coincidental. When he was in Chaminade, Tatum was No. 22, and Beal was No. 23. Together with Chen Fang's No. 21, these three numbers are quite unique."
"Tatum is wearing No. 0 at Duke because No. 22 has been retired at Duke. Bill has also changed to No. 3. I wonder if Chen Fang can keep No. 21 when he goes to the NBA?"
"Well, as long as he doesn't go to the Spurs or the Timberwolves, this number is still possible."
Speaking of numbers, the topic immediately shifted to the achievements of basketball stars. Yang Yi joked, "If Chen Fang could achieve the same success as these two players in the NBA, he would be praised to the sky in China."
"That's impossible. My hope for Chen Fang is to get into the NBA. I'll be satisfied if he can stay in the rotation."
"In fact, Bill's status is already the best. In the current draft market, Tatum has risen very high and was predicted to be the No. 15 pick. Now Chen Fang has fallen out of the top ."
"I think we can make some money back from yesterday's game."
"I'm not sure. Looking at this playoffs, if we make it to the finals, then we'll have a chance of winning the championship. If that happens, our ranking will definitely go up."
The two used their imagination. In fact, although the commentators seem to be very knowledgeable, every one of them in China is an outsider to the NBA and American sports. It is only because of their work and resources that they can hear a few words coming through the cracks in the door.
Because even many media outlets that were born and raised in the United States are not familiar with the workings of the NBA. The NBA circle is very rigorous and has its own defined circles. It is unimaginably difficult to get in. It is not just about interviewing a few stars, interacting with a few agents, or dealing with certain team managers.
If you have never worked in this industry, you don't count. You don't know any inside information. You are just following the trend, taking advantage of the information gap between China and the United States to show off your identity as an industry insider.
Just like they are definitely familiar with the CBA, but that doesn’t mean they understand the operating logic of the NBA.
(I am using this plot to confess that I know nothing about the NBA. I rely on hindsight and the revelations of more professionals to infer some things based on human logic. I am just having fun, so don't take it seriously.)
As they chatted, they both sighed that it would be truly amazing if any high school in the country could have such a grand occasion of three outstanding students from one family.
Not to mention the NBA, there are three CBAs that are all exaggerated.
"Even in the United States, this kind of thing probably only happens once." Duan Ran put his attention back on the court. The game was almost starting, and the players from both sides had left the court. The coach began his final instructions.
Today, the T-Mobile Arena was finally 90% full. The noise was very loud, and the red and blue teams were clearly demarcated, with each team occupying one side and the other side of the baseline.
Everyone knows that the two teams are rivals, and today's match can be described as a derby within a derby.
"USC won both times. What do you think will happen in this game?" Yang Yi asked.
"Of course I hope USC wins, but judging by the statistics, the bigger the game, the better UCLA performs. I think they will go all out today."
Yang Yi had been staring at the USC bench. He saw the head coach constantly patting Chen Fang on the back and talking to him almost face to face. He said, "Look at this. Chen Fang's position in the coach's heart is really good."
"In fact, Andy has always been a pure technical coach who follows the trend. I recently watched USC's games over the years and found that the tactics are constantly changing. For example, in the last game against Washington, they used a new tactic and the game collapsed."
“I don’t know if there will be something new in this game.”
In fact, it was not what Duan Ran guessed. Andy was comforting Chen Fang.
"Fight as much as you want. I allow you to. You've been holding it in for so long, it's right to let it out. Don't worry about exposing something, it's something that doesn't exist."
"It's a one-game game, and the time is short. Even if they are given half a month, they still can't find the edge."
"Thank you, coach." Chen Fang knew that the coach was someone who understood him. He felt warm in his heart and assured Andy, "Please rest assured, coach. I won't do anything rash."
"This is not only a battle of proof, but also a time for you to make a push for your draft stock. Come on."
"Actually, I don't care about the draft. What matters is which team he goes to. The performance after he gets there. Ranking is too abstract." Chen Fang was very calm. What he said was from his heart. It's not like Fultz just wants to give up. The No. 1 pick is not a guaranteed title and it can't be guaranteed for life.
Andy was stunned for a moment, then he nodded and said, "It's a good thing that you see through it, go on stage." After saying that, he pushed Chen Fang forward.
Stepping onto the court, Chen Fang tucked his jersey into his shorts. He tilted his head and glanced at Lonzo who had been staring at him. How should I put it? Chen Fang didn't hate this person, but he always felt unhappy with this family.
According to his logic, if there is a habitual offender in the family, it is difficult to believe in the family education. He has never met Lonzo, who was portrayed as a tragic hero in his previous life, who fought against fate and was able to be reborn.
To be honest, he sympathizes with Fultz more than this.
So many NBA stars come from single-parent families, and I've never heard of any of them stealing. Tatum's family is also in financial difficulty, not to mention Harden. What's more, Ball's family is well-off, his second brother went to UCLA, and your family has a second-place pick, so you have plenty of money, but you actually played in a foreign country and stole things.
Either you have a kleptomaniac, or you really don't respect China as a country with a sound legal system, otherwise how could this happen?
Therefore, it was difficult for Chen Fang to look at it without prejudice, and he felt particularly unhappy about being bullied by such a person, which was like eating shit.
This game attracted a lot of reporters, one because of the history of grievances between the two teams, and the other because of the dispute between Chen Fang and Lonzo. This game can be regarded as a decisive battle.
Because everyone knows that Lonzo is going to the draft, and his big-mouthed father would like to say it every day. When there are no reporters, he would take the initiative to meet reporters to talk about his son's excellence. Especially in the past two months, he always mentions Chen Fang and uses Chen Fang as a stepping stone. He is full of disdain and says that Chinese people are not suitable for playing basketball and that Yao was only selected by the league for the Chinese market. Later facts also proved that Yao was just a starter of a team and was not a superstar at all.
Just like Chen Fang and Lonzo, one is the future second Magic Johnson of the NBA, and the other is even just a second-round pick.
He told reporters confidently: "The reason why Chen Fang was able to stay in the first round of the draft was because of Lonzo. There were too many off-court implications in the two matchups. The first time was in China, the referee was biased towards Chen Fang. In the second game, Lonzo caught a cold before the game, so Chen Fang stole the game."
"There is no doubt that when Lonzo is healthy, Chen Fang has no chance at all. The big falcon is just a precocious sparrow and is not worth mentioning."
Chen Fang listened to every word of these words. He had been waiting for the opportunity.
Don't give me a chance, or I'll make you regret it.
When the basketball was thrown into the air, Chen Fang, who was in the jump ball position, passed the ball to McLaughlin behind him with a faster bounce speed than the opponent's center.
UCLA's main rotation was adjusted after a season.
大前锋:TJ利夫场均16分、7篮板;得分后卫:布莱斯·阿尔福德场均15分;控卫:郎佐场均14分;小前锋:艾萨克·汉密尔顿场均14分;分卫:阿隆·霍乐迪场均13分、中锋:托马斯·威尔士场均10分。
These six people are the best players of UCLA, especially Holiday, whose impact makes up for Lonzo's shortcomings. When the two are on the court at the same time, the net score is as high as 11 points.
Steve Alford, the head coach of UCLA, is very confident that he can have a man-on-man contest with his old rival USC.
Although he was surprised by USC's massacre of Washington yesterday, he is confident.
And what supports his confidence in victory is his secret weapon.
212 zone defense.
This strategy of piling up defense to the extreme is enough to strangle the falcon. Anyone who wants to fly will be killed by this big net.
But USC's first attack made Steve break out in a cold sweat.
Chen Fang crossed the half court and was targeted by Holiday. They are a family of three geniuses. His two older brothers are in the NBA. As the youngest, he is determined to follow in his brothers' footsteps.
The Huo family's defense was inherited from their family. Not only could they keep up with the pace, but their strength was also incredibly strong. Chen Fang felt it the moment he touched them.
But after two games, Chen Fang has a good understanding of Holiday's problems.
His defense is poor and his attention is distracted when facing off-ball screens. It’s not that he is slow, but that his brain is too smart. He always hesitates when making a choice.
Elijah came over and played without the ball to Chen Fang. Chen Fang made a counter-run and unexpectedly went in the opposite direction of Elijah's screen. This made Holiday, who was about to squeeze the screen, miscalculate. When he wanted to chase, he was entangled by Elijah.
Running without the ball has always been Chen Fang's forte. He did not look for an open position because that would be too obvious. Instead, he went to the free throw line where Metu was standing. McLaughlin immediately passed the ball to Metu according to the tactics.
Chen Fang just happened to come to Metu, who passed the ball to Chen Fang.
Chen Fang got the ball and quickly rushed past Leaf who was defending Metu. Facing the empty basket, he stepped off the ground and held the ball behind his head with both hands. In front of 16,000 people in the T-Mobile Arena, he gave them full emotions and sprinkled some water first.
Just like pouring water into a hot oil pan, the whole place immediately boiled.
The red wave of USC suddenly rolled up, and the shout of CHEN was heard in the sports center for the first time.
Chen Fang didn't celebrate when he fell to the ground. This was just the beginning and there was no need to waste emotions.
He knew very well that this was a cup competition with intensive matches, and if he over-excited himself, the road ahead would be difficult.
Chen Fang has too many things to prove, and he has to do it step by step.
Steve was frowning. He felt that USC's two consecutive handoffs seemed to be aimed at his 212 zone defense.
He decided to wait and see, because 212 was not that simple, and there were many more complicated variations.
Leaf moved to get a position in the short corner on the right side. Lonzo gave him the ball immediately. He dribbled the ball, took three steps around Metu and went towards the basket, and made a layup to tie the score.
Metu's mobility is already the best in the team's interior, but facing Leaf who has already played with confidence, he did not have the momentum to crush him.
Chen Fang glanced at Leaf who was retreating. He had to admit that Leaf was the leading scorer at UCLA. The freshman quickly established himself and became the most formidable inside player.
It's not just Lonzo who needs to be defeated today, but the entire team.
One by one, take your time.
Chen Fang sneered in his heart, it was as if he had switched his personality. The moment he stepped onto the court, he was filled with murderous intent.
The violence in his bones gradually emerged, and even Chen Fang himself was unaware of it.
When the ball possession changed, Chen placed himself at the top of the arc to help McLaughlin with screens, then retreated to the wing. The essence of the 212 zone defense is that no matter who has the ball on the opposing team, when they move to the strong side, the defending side will immediately have two people perform a pincer-team, one on the left side and one on the right side, forming a pocket to intimidate the person with the ball, making him dare not break through or shoot.
But Chen Fang doesn't care. Everyone present is a dish on his plate. The only question is who he wants to eat at the moment he raises his chopsticks.
The ball came back, Chen Fang moved sideways to receive the ball, both feet left the ground at the same time, and the moment he landed, he spread out, lowered his center of gravity, put the ball on the left side, and quickly completed a three-threat breakthrough, which immediately made Holiday and Isaac react.
But they were fast, but not as fast as Chen Fang. A feint of breaking into Holiday's left side to avoid the pocket directly made Holiday reset his defensive posture and change to step up and down and sideways. However, Chen Fang made a large forward change of direction with his left foot, directly switched the ball to the right side, reset his up and down steps to cut inside with a left step, and leaned over to cut from Holiday's right side.
Isaac immediately rushed forward, but he was horrified to find that Chen Fang rushed forward like an arrow from a bow. With just this one step, he was thrown two steps behind.
This is the feeling of being out of reach.
Yang Yi in the commentary booth also caught this moment: "Chen Fang changed direction, broke through, and went in. He exploded so quickly, shaking off all the defenders and jumping up. Ahhh! Aerial ballet. Oh my God, what kind of magical move is this?"
Not to mention his surprise, the whole audience burst into laughter.
Facing Leaf, Chen Fang showed his impressive coordination in the air. Leaf's defense was indisputable. He jumped straight up with his hands raised high, completely protecting the basket behind him. But after two steps, Chen Fang jumped up, twisted his body in the air, and performed a ballet move in front of Leaf: a whip turn.
It’s just that this whip-turn was done in place, but Chen Fang used it in the air.
Many basketball players sometimes show off their skills, and a one-round slam dunk is considered a top-notch show, but in fact, the slower the better, the true test of physical coordination.
Chen Fang spun in the air with a whip, and the slow motion almost became a freeze frame. He broke down the movement in such detail, from lifting the ball to shrinking it, turning around and then holding up the basketball with one hand, without showing any embarrassment or effort.
The final jelly-like wrist-turn to flick the ball and wipe the board is the pinnacle of art.
After landing, Chen Fang looked back to see the result. Seeing the basketball fall from the net, he patted his chest twice. In his ears, there was thunderous cheers. In response, Chen Fang did not interact, but quickly retreated.
This is just the beginning.
He wants to use an extreme performance to beat all those who despise him.
Liv wanted to see the whole process the most. He had no idea how Chen Fang got rid of him. It seemed to him like a flash.
It wasn't until he saw the whole thing in slow motion that his hair stood on end and he got goose bumps all over his body.
Looking for Chen Fang on the court, the red number 21 made Liv depressed.
That's terrifying, this is genius.
"What is a genius? Genius is just a ticket to meet a genius. When Chen Fang goes all out, no one can stop him." Duan Ran could finally vent. Just based on these two goals at the beginning, he would loudly announce that your so-called geniuses are just ordinary people in Chen Fang's eyes.
People who are familiar with Chen Fang know that when Chen Fang explodes at the beginning, it only means one thing.
he is very angry!
Chen Fang, who never refuted on social media and didn't even say a word, was laughed at as a turtle. People said, "What's the big falcon? Just call him a big turtle."
What made Chen Fang most angry was that this message was sent in Chinese.
Fuck it, this is the day I’ve been waiting for.
Let the ball speak for itself. I will use a deafening goal to show you what playing basketball is.
After Lonzo dribbled the ball under the screen, he passed it to Isaac on the wing, then he ran to the bottom corner, which was a wide open space. USC's high-pressure line was at the top of the arc. He suddenly broke away from the bottom corner, leaving Shaq Quinn, who was following him, unable to catch up.
The ball came, Lonzo received it, made a shooting motion, and then shot.
A rainbow shadow came running diagonally from the free throw line. He saw Lonzo shooting in the short corner, so he jumped up without hesitation, facing the flying basketball, and smashed it past with a volleyball.
"boom!"
The hands and the basketball made a dull loud noise in the air, which echoed throughout the entire stadium even in the noisy stadium.
"OMG!" Countless people stood up with their heads in their hands, staring at the scene in amazement.
This block from seven or eight meters away can no longer be described as a classic.
All the USC players surrounded Chen Fang, and everyone on the bench stood up, waving towels and shouting excitedly.
"Big falcon, big falcon!"
The red blood wave rolled out this letter, this super blood cap, completely ignited the passion of the fans. The word "Big Falcon" is undisputed at this moment.
The big screen's slow motion perfectly shows this scene. It really is a flying falcon. It feels like it is flying in the sky and kidnapping the basketball.
"Terrible jumping ability, full strength Chen, look at Chen Fang's eyes, full of murderous intent." At this moment, the camera focused on Chen Fang's face, so the English commentator shouted loudly. "No one can suppress the anger of Chen Fang. In the past two months, there have been too many comments comparing him and Lonzo. Chen Fang has been silent, but this does not mean that he is not angry. It's not that he doesn't want to prove himself, but he knows that he is a basketball player. Basketball people should speak with the ball on the court. Now, his attitude and his words are all in this hat."
Duan Ran was excited, but he was also very depressed. This scene seemed familiar to him. When they played against Australia in the Olympics, Chen Fang had this expression.
Even too much is as bad as too little.
When Chen Fang had this expression, it meant that he must win today.
"I would like to describe Chen Fang now as the King of Success. He wants to make his opponents losers."
"The winner takes it all, Chen Fang's fury mode." Yang Yi's exuberant commentary excited all the TX Sports members who were watching the live broadcast. A good commentary can add fuel to the fire. One point of emotion can be turned into five points, and a better situation of ten points can be described as a collision between Mars and the Earth.
As Chen Fang's blood began to flow, all the USC players became more excited. Their high-pressure offense and defense, led by Chen Fang, began to repeatedly tear through UCLA's defense.
This feud that started last fall has finally come to an end.
Steve called a timeout. He had to adjust. 212 could not defend against Chen Fang. His personal ability was enough to destroy any defense.
Chen Fang came off the field for a short break and was greeted with enthusiastic high-fives and hugs from everyone on the bench.
Everyone knew that Chen Fang would behave like this, and every one of them felt the same way, because Chen Fang's personal sacrifice was for himself, and the benefit went to the entire team.
This season, everyone's statistics have increased, and everyone's basketball IQ has improved. This is all thanks to Chen Fang. At this moment, as long as Chen Fang gives an order, everyone will execute it without hesitation.
How did the king come about in the jungle?
Beaten, nurtured, and protected.
Chen Fang did it all.
After the timeout, UCLA's 212 zone defense showed new changes. As long as Chen Fang appeared there, the two of them would immediately form a double barrier and at the same time interfere and suppress the person with the ball in this direction.
Steve just wanted to give up defending against others and put all the pressure on Chen Fang.
I would rather others score than let Chen Fang continue to go crazy.
But who can hold down Chen Fang's backbone?
How could a few small hills trap an exposed dragon?
Chen Fang's basketball IQ determines that he will give the best solution to any problem as soon as possible.
Waving to let McLaughlin come closer, Chen Fang moved to a high position and received the ball despite being bitten by Holiday. After getting the ball, Chen Fang accelerated to get rid of it. Just when Holiday caught up with him, he dribbled sideways with his back, fixing the opponent and sucking Isaac over at the same time.
At this time, Chen Fang jumped up and passed the ball to Elijah at the top of the arc. The latter was originally Isaac's defensive target. At this moment, Elijah, who was not guarded by anyone, used a three-pointer from the top of the arc and hit Steve in the heart.
If you want to double-team Chen Fang, you have to accept the stabs from others.
On defense, Lonzo was entangled by McLaughlin. As soon as he got rid of him, Chen Fang would appear. He always appeared on the side of his ball handler, catching him off guard. In order to protect the ball, the ball became dead several times.
This reduced his role to almost zero. Rather than saying that UCLA was suppressing Chen Fang, it would be more accurate to say that Chen Fang and his men were beating up Lang Zuo.
The offense and defense of both sides were too intense, and the physical contact made the three referees concentrate and the whistles kept blowing.
But USC didn't seem to care, and today, Andy conveyed a belief.
Even if we use up all our bullets, we will still defeat UCLA.
With Chen Fang's sudden pull-up shot from the top of the arc and his first three-pointer, the entire first half came to an end.
This was Chen Fang's seventh shot, third three-point shot, plus 4 free throws, 15 points, 4 assists and 7 rebounds.
Is this data good?
If you haven't watched the game, no one would realize it, but anyone who was there would know how difficult it was to get these data, and how exciting they were.
During the half-time break, the commentators commented on Chen Fang's performance in the first half.
"All high-level players have one characteristic, which is that when they want to score, you can't stop them." Yang Yi began to speak.
He continued, "Chen Fang's physical talent is among the best among Asians with yellow skin. I checked the data. When he tried out at Chaminade High School last year, his running jump was 118. What does this mean? When James tried out for an NBA team in high school, his running jump was 1.12."
"Chen Fang is 6 centimeters taller than him. Look at this, everyone. What kind of abnormal physical fitness is this?"
"He pushed off the ground to speed up, just like a cannonball shot out of the gun. Not to mention ordinary people, even strong players can't keep up with him. UCLA's five starting players are all draft picks, so now you know what level Chen Fang is at."
"It is said that as soon as Chen Fang finished his tryout, Chaminade's head coach immediately agreed to let him join the team and immediately gave him the status of a core player, the same level of treatment as Tatum."
"If you are a fan of Chen Fang, you must have seen his wonderful dunk highlights, all of which are flat dunks and various long-distance gliding dunks. So, it's not that Chen Fang dunks less, but whether he wants to dunk or not."
"I guess Chen Fang still needs to work harder in the second half. The score is now 37:25, and we only won by 12 points."
Duan Ran was listening nearby. He was very emotional but mentally stable. When he saw Chen Fang's performance, he knew that today was a very stable day.
As we were chatting, the camera changed the picture. It was the player tunnel. There was only a little time left before the start of the second half. A group of people in red jerseys appeared in the camera.
The leader was Chen Fang, he had a stern face, a solemn expression and a cold gaze, and behind him were his teammates, each with a murderous look on their face.
Seeing this scene, the American commentator shouted directly: "The Trojans are coming!"
When they stepped onto the court, Chen Fang patted the shoulders of the players one by one, then called the four starters together. The camera was directly focused on their faces, and from the picture, Chen Fang's words were very clear.
"Kill them and send them home."
"Fight On!!"
Duan Ran translated the speech for the Chinese fans watching the game and also gave some information about USC’s history. He concluded: “The Trojans’ motto is fighting, and their battle song is Fight On!! Listen, all the USC fans in the stadium have started singing it now.”
There's a fire burning in my bones
The fire is still burning in my heart
Still believe yeah i still believe
I still believe that, yes, I still believe that
And all those things i didn't say
All that I have never said
Wrecking balls inside my brain
Still hidden in my mind
I will scream them loud tonight
Tonight I will shout out all that I have suppressed
Can you hear my voice
Can you hear my scream this time?
This time this is my fight song
This is my struggle song
Take back my life song
Sing the song that rekindles the fighting spirit of life
Prove I'm alright song
A song to prove to the world that I am strong and unyielding
(I won’t copy the full text, I’ll just post the lyrics that fit the mood of this scene)
Chen Fang stood quietly in the center of the court, listening. He had never felt such a sense of resonance before. He felt his heart was also excited, proving to the world his tenacity and perseverance.
The second half began with singing.
UCLA wanted to slow down the pace, and during their halftime review the coaching staff unanimously agreed that only by slowing down the pace could they hold back the runaway horse of USC.
But they were wrong. This was not a wild horse, but a pride of lions. A group of lions, led by a tiger king from the East, were unstoppably destroying all enemies that stood in their way.
Every time Chen Fang scored a goal, he looked at Lonzo fiercely. He didn't say a single trash word, but every look and movement represented his attitude.
Who is the best rookie?
Let me tell you, it’s not you.
As for me, I disdain this title. What I want to prove is that I am the king of the alliance. I want to take back everything that belongs to me, and ultimately, it is my honor.
Everyone exclaimed when they saw Chen Fang half-turn, get rid of two people while moving, turn around and lean back, and stay in the air in front of Liv for more than half a second, until Liv fell, and then he hit Liv's wrist in the air.
"Invincible, today's Chen Fang is invincible!" Yang Yi even stood up. He took off his headset, removed the noise reduction function, and shouted into the microphone: "Listen, the cheers from the whole audience, this thunderous applause, this is the greatest compliment to Chen Fang. Today's Chen Fang is amazing."
When Chen Fang was fouled by Holiday during a layup, he rolled on the ground twice and got up by himself before his teammates could run over.
He neither trash-talked Holiday who committed a foul, nor did he do anything for the audience or the camera. He just pursed his lips and stood at the free throw line.
When the referee threw the ball to him, a voice rang out throughout the stadium.
MVP!
The score is 73:58.
There were still 6 minutes left and the 15-point gap was like an insurmountable chasm. As long as UCLA wanted to catch up to single digits, Chen Fang would slap it back.
26分9助攻15篮板3帽4抢断。
Chen Fang used super luxurious data to tell the entire league, am I, Chen Fang, worthy of the All-American First Team?
Chen Fang made both free throws and the score came to 28 points.
In the next round, he stole the ball and quickly advanced, throwing it high to Shaqquin who was taking off from both sides. The latter jumped high and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
"Triple-double, Chen Fang's fourth triple-double of the season, undoubtedly the league's number one triple-double king!"
"He broke not only the team record, but also the league record. I can't think of any other freshman who can do that."
"Take back Lonzo's Rookie of the Year award and let him go home with his dad. He really disappointed UCLA fans today!"
The American ESPN commentator mocked mercilessly.
8 points, 6 assists and 5 rebound.
In the face of Chen Fang's data, Lonzo was completely defeated.
The winner takes all, it has always been like this.
Not only the commentators, but even the UCLA fans at the scene were booing in dissatisfaction. This so-called strong dialogue was humiliated by the arch-rival USC.
But Chen Fang's data is still changing.
With more than 4 minutes left in the game, Chen Fang received a pass from McLaughlin in the corner. He shot without hesitation. Although his three-point shooting was not high today, with 8 of 4 shots, this 50% hit rate was already terrifying, but for Chen Fang, it was not enough.
The moment he saw the ball go through the net, Chen Fang clenched his fists. This time, he wanted to interact with the fans who were cheering for him throughout the entire game.
He ran to the center circle and turned to face the sea of red fans, including current and former alumni, who were already in their 50s and 60s. He waved his arms and shouted, "Palmam qui meruit ferat!"
So, all the USC fans shouted together: "Trojans!"
And Chen Fang also shouted: "WIN!"
Following his shout, all USC fans in the stadium shouted for victory. Amid the thunderous shouts of victory, Chen Fang led USC in a ruthless attack on ULCA.
This is the killing phase. Even though there are still four minutes left, it’s time.
Chen Fang grabbed the rebound and advanced quickly. His cooperation with McLaughlin was already superb. Seeing someone rushing towards him, he leaped high and passed the ball to McLaughlin in the air, then he accelerated his running after landing.
McLaughlin received the ball and passed it to an empty space in front of him. Chen Fang caught the ball and made a precise move, then passed it to Elijah who was following up on the side.
The latter received the ball and made a layup in three steps, jumping high and blasting the ball into the rim with both hands.
The cooperation between the three players was like mercury flowing on the ground, making UCLA's desperate defense pale and powerless.
Afterwards, Chen Fang held the ball and passed it to Shaqquin, who dribbled into the basket but passed the ball back to Chen Fang. However, Chen Fang didn't like the ball and slapped Metu on the other side.
Metu jumped up and dunked on the spot.
Steve closed his eyes in pain. He lost. He was completely finished.
91: 65.
There are still 3 minutes left and no one can be saved.
Five minutes later, Chen Fang was interviewed by an official reporter. He took the microphone and suddenly walked towards the UCS fans' stand. Standing there, Chen Fang asked, "I hope that in the near future, there will be 30,000 Trojans cheering for us!"
It felt like time was paused, but the next second, the entire stadium burst into the loudest cheer so far.
Chen Fang issued a battle declaration to impact the championship.
According to NCAA regulations, the semi-finals must be held in a stadium with a capacity of more than 6 people. According to the rules, both teams will be eligible to purchase half of the tickets.
The most frightening thing is having no goals and no hope. Fighting requires results.
So, when Chen Fang told them about his hope, everything became worthwhile and vivid.
A reporter has already written the headline for today's report.
Trojans, Swords Pointed, National Champions
Chen Fang walked back to the bench, looked at everyone, and said, "It's time to tell everyone about our ambitions."
"Yes, we have been working hard throughout the season. All the tactics and efforts we have made are for one goal." Andy stood up, looked at all the players, and shouted, "Champion!"
And Chen Fang ignited everyone's emotions crazily.
"Brothers, let's win USC its first NCAA championship trophy."
"Champion!" Everyone went crazy.
The reporter accompanying the team recorded this scene clearly in the camera.
He was also very excited and felt his blood was burning.
This is not only Chen Fang's ambition, but also the dream of all of them.
And now, they are witnessing history.
A record that will be engraved in the history of USC.
