Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 206 I feel like I've become stronger again!

Why is NCAA difficult and what makes it difficult?
1. A huge number of participating teams and unpredictable system collisions;
2. Tight rest time and a battle that is even more intense than a cup competition.

The second point in particular is the difficulty that strong NCAA teams cannot resist the most. This is why there are so few dark horses in the NCAA, because even for strong teams, it is difficult to solve it. Those who can persist to the end, without exception, have a little luck involved.

There were no injuries, the bench players performed well, the main players' physical fitness was retained, and so on.

Take USC as an example. They started the Pacific League playoffs on March 3, eliminated UCLA on the 8th to enter the semi-finals, and played in the semi-finals on the 9th. If they reach the finals, they will have one more game on the 11th to decide the championship.

If everything goes well, the first round of the NCAA tournament will begin on the 17th and the second round on the 19th.

If we can make it to the second round, we can finally take a break and prepare for the Sweet 24 on the 16th, followed by the quarterfinals on the 27th, the semifinals on April 4nd, and the championship game on April 2th.

Just looking at this schedule, anyone who has played the game will feel their scalp tingling and their whole body trembling.

Every year's NCAA championship will be played in 3 days from March 8 to April 4, with at least 4 games, and some major leagues will even have 26 games.

Except for the last few games, the first six or seven games are fought continuously, all in an elimination system. No one wants to lose, so you have to fight hard in every game.

It can be seen how difficult it is. It is the most terrifying schedule in today's basketball world.

Therefore, the moment Chen Fang made the declaration, a public opinion storm was bound to occur.

Countless fans mocked on social media: Trojans, you should win the league championship first before thinking about this stupid topic.

As a team that has never won a championship, or even a league championship, there doesn't seem to be any possibility no matter how you look at it.

Celebrities from major media outlets also treated it as a joke. They openly mocked it in their programs, saying that the Chinese people like to use a victory or defeat to discuss the future. To put it bluntly, they are very arrogant and not steady.

Only Walton Sr. supported Chen Fang's remarks. He said confidently: "PAC12 is one of the best leagues in the NCAA. This season, several teams in this league have the level to win the NCAA championship. Being able to beat them proves a lot in itself."

(In the past, four PAC12 teams made it to the tournament, USC made it to the round of 4, the Arizona Wildcats and UCLA made it to the round of 32, and the Oregon Ducks made it to the semifinals but fell at the doorstep of the finals. This record undoubtedly made the PAC16 the best league in the NCAA in 4 years.)
But what old Walton said, just like Zhang Heli in China, has too little authority. The teams he is optimistic about have always been very weak, and now not many people believe him.

Within hours after the game, Chen Fang's remarks caused a huge uproar and were also reported on the front page of the NCAA.

Chen Fang had anticipated this scene. He now felt immune to external pressure. It was just a matter of not checking his phone before the game and checking it after he won. What was so scary about that?

Lost?

If you lose, just treat it as an exercise for yourself, swallow the insult and improve your mental quality.

In competitive sports, this little bit of hardship is nothing.

Compared with the harvest, Chen Fang needs to arouse the team's cohesion, set goals and stimulate fighting spirit.

"Don't look at your phone, it's not good for your mentality, let's concentrate on the next game!"

When Andy returned to the hotel to rest, he said to the whole team: "I won't confiscate your phones, but I will decide your playing time based on your performance on the field. Don't overestimate yourself. Even someone as strong as Chen Fang took the initiative to leave his phone with me."

“Coach, I’ll put you here too.” Elijah stood up and touched his chest: “I think it’s hard for me to withstand the ridicule on social media.”

"Yes, Coach, I'll put you here too."

This is Andy's art of speaking. He just puts it out there and it works.

Chen Fang didn't say anything. He was being used as a gun by the coach. His cell phone was still in his pocket. Ok, I'll take the trouble to deliver it to him quietly later.

"Go back to your room and rest immediately. Everyone must get enough sleep. Don't let me see any violations. Maintain your energy and don't go out. I swear here that anyone who violates the rules will be expelled from the team immediately."

Andy changed his expression and looked at everyone viciously.

Chen Fang was in the same room with Ilya. The two of them actually had no common topics, but Chen Fang was very interesting and pleasant to talk to, so they got along very well.

After returning to the room, Chen Fang pretended to go buy something, then sneaked out and came to the coach's door. Sure enough, the door was not closed but half-open.

When he entered, he saw Andy and Tony looking at him with smiles on their faces.

"Sir, you can't do this anyway." Chen Fang said helplessly.

"This is also your contribution to the team, hand it over." Andy stretched out his hand.

Chen Fang placed his phone on the table and stressed, "If it's my girlfriend calling, please tell me."

"Don't worry, there won't be any mistakes." Andy put his phone in the drawer. He pointed to a drawer full of Apple phones and said, "If you had a dozen phones ringing in one night, what would you do?"

Chen Fang was speechless and felt sorry for the two old men.

"I'm still quite surprised by your declaration today. Are you happy about the fight?" Tony asked.

Chen Fang shook his head: "No, we need a bigger motivation, both for our supporters and ourselves."

“Competition is all about expectations. The better the expectations, the more memorable they will be if they are fulfilled.”

“This is not only a beautiful thing that I pursue, but also a gift that I hope to give to our supporters.”

After hearing Chen Fang's explanation, both of them became serious.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to think from this perspective. You are right. Your words reminded me of the admiration and love we had for the team when we were in college."

Tony's admiration grew stronger, and he reminded her, "Put all the responsibilities on your shoulders. This is a test of your will. Believe me, you will gain more in the future."

"Yes, sir, I know how difficult the schedule is, and we will get stronger and stronger."

Andy looked worried as he watched Chen Fang leave. He said to Tony, "Wear earplugs in the first half of the night, and I'll take over in the second half."

"Well, now that we have entered the semi-finals, I hope the school will increase its support for us." Tony put forward his own ideas.

"Yes, we need to start strengthening in all aspects. The competition will be very difficult. We need more support every second. We cannot let the players be distracted. Apart from the competition, it is best for others to do other things."

"I'll go and communicate now." Andy did what he thought and took out his phone.

So when the players woke up the next day, they found that there were many more people on the team.

"Coach Hanny, why are you here?" Elijah greeted a middle-aged black man with surprise.

"Everyone is here, not just me." Hanni looked at Chen Fang and extended his hand to show his respect: "I watch every game. Your words inspire us. We firmly believe that this year is a historic moment."

After he left, Chen Fang was still a little confused. He asked, "What is this?"

"Ice hockey coach, when I was a freshman, I made a choice and almost chose ice hockey," Elijah explained.

Soon, the news spread throughout the team.

USC fully supports the Trojans basketball team to make history. The school has mobilized full-time coaches from football, ice hockey, soccer, and track and field to form a uniform team of hundreds of people to provide the team with high-tech logistical support services.

At the same time, the Trojan Knights, a student organization spontaneously formed by students with a history of sixty years and four thousand core members, will mobilize all members this time. They will form the most powerful core cheering group, not only in the stands of the stadium, but also before and after the game, to provide all peripheral support.

This time, all USC students were mobilized, and the daily expenditure increased sharply from the previous standard of 50 US dollars to yuan a day.

After an overnight meeting, the Board of Trustees unanimously believed that this year is the best time for USC to impact basketball history. This is the strongest class ever, and they must cherish it and go all out.

The funds allocated have reached 30 million US dollars, just for these ten days, to give it a try.

When the whole team heard the news, invisible pressure immediately spread throughout their bodies, but Chen Fang's words ignited the whole team.

"Life doesn't have many chances to fight. When the opportunity comes, you can only fight to the death and leave regrets." Chen Fang stood up, looked at the whole team and shouted: "No matter what the outcome is, I don't want to have any regrets."

"No regrets!"

"Who doesn't dream of the big stage? The NBA is too far away. The NCAA is the destination for us. Let's get in and feel the glory of history."

"To become it, to have our name and the history of the team integrated together, this is our mission, this is what we are going to do now."

With every word Chen Fang uttered, the emotions burned in the entire team. At this moment, they completely put aside all distractions and now had only one belief.

Kill them.

On March 3, the entire south side of the T-Mobile Arena was covered in fiery red waves.

In the center were the Trojan Knights, who occupied an entire front stand, with constantly changing patterns and letters. Whenever a number appeared, they would start shouting the player's name. When number 21 appeared, the cheers of the entire stadium reached their climax.

Chen Fang stood opposite the whole team. The whole team was already familiar with his Wudang starting posture. When the thirteen players clasped their fists and saluted, the entire player tunnel fell into a solemn atmosphere.

Then, Chen Fang walked out of the tunnel for the first time. When he came to the center of the stadium, the red ocean boiled, and 8,000 people shouted together: "Chen, Chen, Chen."

Something surprising happened to Chen Fang. After shouting three times, an unfamiliar word appeared above the stadium.

"Legion Commander!"

Then, two words were combined and echoed throughout the arena: "CHEN, Legion Commander"

This is the supreme honor. For a very long time, the Trojan Knights did not call for the title of Legion Commander, because they would rather have nothing than have something unqualified. Today, they finally confirmed the affiliation and announced it publicly.

Even though it’s an opponent, Dillon is extremely envious, the Oregon Ducks, who once again face the USC Trojans.

This is a game that cannot be lost. The winner will advance to the league finals, and the loser can only wait for the preferences and wishes of the voting committee.

So at the beginning of the game, the Oregon Ducks launched a fierce attack. They learned from the previous loss, and the coaching staff reviewed USC's new tactics overnight and developed a defensive strategy that they believed could limit the team's defense.

Dillon and Taylor will form a high-position filter to cut off the connection between Chen Fang and his teammates. Bell will conduct one-on-one marking and interfere with Chen Fang as much as possible.

The Ducks have only one tactic: they would rather let Chen Fang score than let anyone else, using individual scoring leads in exchange for an overall lag.

As soon as this tactic was implemented, Chen Fang felt at a loss. He wanted to pass the ball, but found that there were no good opportunities. In the end, he was forced to shoot, or give the ball to his teammates and go to the weak side to attract and pull the ball.

On offense, the Ducks showed excellent vitality. Dillon, Taylor, Dylan, Chris, and the Ducks had a scoring team of up to 7 people. They took advantage of Troy's high defense and played straightforward individual breakthroughs.

No matter who has the ball, they will force their way to the basket and cause damage.

As Ducks head coach Dana said: If the combined score of our seven people is not as high as Chen's alone, then we deserve to fail.

Seven minutes into the first half, Troy was trailing 7-14.

Chen Fang made two of four shots, one three-pointer and one mid-range shot, and Metu made two free throws.

Everyone else was completely locked down by the Ducks.

Andy called a timeout, his face livid, because he knew he was in trouble.

Now he has to make a choice, change tactics or change players.

But Chen Fang's words stopped him from thinking that.

"We are not so easily trapped. There is an old Chinese saying that if the fish dies, the net will be broken, let alone the people."

"Since they want me to score alone, then come on. We'll do a good job of defense. Once we hurt them, they'll naturally realize they were wrong." The light flashing in Chen Fang's eyes made Andy believe it.

"Give you a first half, I need to see a comeback."

Chen Fang did not answer, but returned to the court.

At the same time, he pulled everyone together: "Run, any open position, they can't always lock you up, keep your touch, we will turn the situation around."

He is indeed a little unfamiliar now, because when a player has to consider the positions and characteristics of his teammates and the situation on the court, it undoubtedly means that more distracting thoughts will appear in his mind.

You have to judge and think, and this is the main factor that causes Chen Fang's score to drop.

Chen Fang dribbled the ball across half court. Facing Bell's pressure, he walked to the sideline and kept colliding with Bell by turning sideways while moving. Every collision reset his steps to keep himself flexible. He also kept looking around the court for reasonable opportunities, but his teammates' running and pick-and-rolls would be resolved by the Ducks.

After the pick-and-roll, the Ducks tried their best to suppress the screener. As for Chen Fang, they always insisted on defending him alone. If it didn't work, they would foul him.

The last attempt ended in a foul. Standing at the free throw line, Chen Fang looked up at the scoreboard and the timer. He let out a long breath, and his eyes finally became cold.

"Go ahead, go ahead."

"Score, score, I want to score like crazy!"

Just like hypnotizing himself, the constant hints made Chen Fang's eyes sharp as substance, which made Bale, who was on the opposite side, feel a chill on his back for no reason.

When Chen Fang no longer considers these things and his mind is filled with the determination to score, he will become unstoppable.

And no one in the entire NCAA has seen this.

After scoring the free throw, Chen Fang stepped back and shouted to Bell: "I'm going to get serious now."

"Come on." Bell was helpless. He knew he was going to sacrifice, and he was mentally prepared for everything.

Dillon scored a powerful goal to cancel out Chen Fang's two free throws. The score between the two teams is now

12: 19.

At this time, the first half reached the 11th minute.

In the stands, the Trojan Knights' morale was declining. They could see that the whole team was struggling, and the captain Chen Fang was really trying hard to reverse the situation.

Just when everyone was upset, Chen Fang held the ball at the top of the arc, and after a pick-and-roll, he suddenly pulled up and shot a three-pointer, which immediately lifted the morale of the Trojans.

And this emotion is constantly being stirred and elevated.

Dillon cooperated with Taylor, who shot a three-pointer from the bottom corner, trying to offset the previous three-pointer, but the basketball hit the back frame and bounced up. A tall figure jumped up first and grabbed the basketball in the air before anyone else. The sound of him catching the ball in the air was so clear that even the audience in the second-tier stands could hear it clearly.

Chen Fang landed and turned around to avoid Dillon's long-planned claws. Then Chen Fang began to move forward. He saw with his peripheral vision that everyone was being delayed, except for himself, who was still chasing him.

Chen Fang passed half court and saw someone was already going down the rim, with Bell catching up behind him. An idea came to his mind, and Chen Fang paused while dribbling the ball. Feeling Bell's breath behind him, he jumped up. This unreasonable shot made the commentator exclaim, and when he saw the basketball go through the net and the referee's sharp whistle, he shouted, "Four points, Chen's unreasonable three-pointer in transition earned more!"

"Amazing touch, he has already scored 16 points, and the team score is only 18 points. Chen was on a killing spree today."

The commentator then began to explain why it happened. He admitted: "This is not the right choice. The Ducks chose this defense. I remain skeptical, but at the same time, I also doubt whether Chen's choice is correct."

“It’s a really gripping suspense.”

After making the free throw steadily, Chen Fang did not relax. He tried hard to assist in defense on the wing, but the Ducks were very pure today. Their offense was very decisive. There was not much coordination, just pure output of talent.

Dillon, Taylor, Dylan, each of them has the ability to play one-on-one, they are very strong and suitable for impact.

Chen Fang watched Chris eat the ball and score a dunk with an expressionless face. He did not blame his teammates. Today's opponent was crazy.

When most of the time, the four of them have to face five people's defense, it undoubtedly requires adaptation.

Fortunately, they firmly believe that this time will not be too long.

Chen Fang received the ball at the baseline, with Bell right behind him, but he held his position firmly and grabbed the ball with one hand. This move was very eye-catching. Amid everyone's admiration, Chen Fang pushed Bell forward with the ball.

It's been a long time since I've seen this happen. I can only say that the NCAA's one-elimination system will artificially give rise to a lot of crazy tactics. The Ducks gave up their tradition and switched to a collective one-on-one tactic, which also made USC very embarrassed.

Andy and the coaching staff were constantly communicating off the court, drawing and erasing the tactics board, and the beads of sweat on his forehead represented his anxiety.

On the court, Chen Fang made a jump shot and was interfered by Bell. He had a hidden waist movement, which interfered with Chen Fang's rhythm. After falling, Chen Fang smiled at Bell but said nothing.

If you don't get in, you don't get in. Complaining won't solve any problems. It will only disrupt your concentration and bring you ridicule.

Chen Fang gradually narrowed the score, and with his two free throws, his score reached 24 points.

More than a dozen commentators at the scene were amazed. This scene made them feel like they were back in the NBA league in the 90s. It was so tough.

If Chen Fang continued playing like this, he might have gotten a very high score, but looking at the scoreboard, USC was still 3 points behind.

29: 32.

When the whistle blew to end the first half, Chen Fang came off the field sweating profusely. He sat in the chair, feeling a sense of déjà vu.

This level is indeed different.

Chen Fang said to himself.

Even though he was open, the Ducks double-teamed him at high speed before and after he shot, which interfered with his shot.

Ti Lung, in particular, almost injured Chen Fang with a mid-air collision. Even if he was penalized for a foul, he didn't care.

He sneered at Chen Fang, who had been lying on the floor for a long time without saying a word. Elijah rushed forward angrily but was stopped by the other members of the Duck Team.

The huge boos did not scare Dillon. Instead, he tilted his ears excitedly and pretended to listen.

Chen Fang climbed up, stretched his arms and legs, and when he felt he was fine, he walked to the free throw line.

Today's game was the most intense one he had ever encountered in all his years of playing basketball.

This is the knockout round. If you fail, you will lose everything, so no one cares after the game. It was only at this moment that Chen Fang clearly felt these feelings.

If you want to win, you have to be less sacrificial than them.

Chen Fang understood that this was a test for himself.

During the half-time break, two therapists were spraying cold mist on Chen Fang's joints and constantly exercising his muscles, and Andy also thought of a solution.

"On offense, spread out the defense. Two corners, one wing, one top of the arc. No one is allowed in the restricted area. Leave one side empty and let Chen Fang play." Andy yelled, and then he shouted with bloodshot eyes: "On defense, everyone is serious. Pull down those who are going for layups and let them shoot free throws. Damn it, I will take responsibility for anything that happens!"

"Anyone who rushes into the penalty area must be pushed out. If the Ducks want to do this, then so can we!"

The second half came as expected. Chen Fang faced Bell alone on the wing. He suddenly made a left move under his crotch, then pulled back again. Looking at Bell who was half a body away, he made a mid-range shot.

After the hit, Chen Fang patted Bell and suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Bell felt humiliated.

But Chen Fang did not answer. He changed his stern expression and began to smile.

Because he remembered a movie plot in which the protagonist said that the more difficult the time is, the more you should smile, because then luck will be on your side.

The camera captured this scene, which made the worried Chinese commentator Duan Ran sigh: "The situation is very critical, but I don't know why, when I saw Chen Fang wanted to laugh, I was no longer anxious."

"Chen Fang has already scored 26 points, but the situation has not changed and they are still behind."

"There's still a lot of time in the second half, so we'll see."

The cheers never stopped, just like the ball possession changes on the court were always reset, and rebounds suddenly became the key.

Chen Fang rushed out from the side and poked the ball into the sky from the hand of Chris who had already reached the basketball. He jumped continuously and grabbed the ball in the encirclement of three Ducks players. The moment he got the ball, he jumped up, turned in the air and shot it towards the basket.

Several hands came over, the whistle sounded, the basketball bounced twice on the rim, and fell into the net.

Chen Fang was lying on the ground, gasping for breath.

This was his first offensive rebound and his third 2+1.

"Chen Fang tried his best today. I've commented on so many of Chen Fang's games, but I've never seen Chen Fang like this." Duan Ran was very excited. He followed the camera to look and saw Chen Fang lying on the floor, gasping for breath with his eyes closed.

"Is this the nth time he fell to the ground? I really can't remember. Every one of the 29 points was won by Chen Fang."

Chen Fang, who was pulled up by his teammates, stretched his arms and legs. He squatted on the ground and covered his buttocks. He relied on this piece of fat, otherwise he would really fall and cry.

Thanks to Wick's special training, Chen Fang came to the free throw line and scored his 30th point.

He looked at the score, there was still 1 point left.

40: 41.

It was a tough match indeed! Chen Fang laughed out loud.

He began to enjoy the intensity, the first time, always new.

In the next round, Chen Fang cut in along the wing with the ball. He exploded and turned around. His very stable hand shape allowed him to hit the ball even though Bale almost covered his face.

"32 points. Chen Fang carried the entire team on his shoulders. He faced the Oregon Ducks alone."

Licking his lips constantly, which was an instinctive expression of thirst, Chen Fang adjusted his rapid breathing. He focused all his attention on the game, and the shouts in his ears seemed much farther away.

When he came to the wing with the ball again, Dillon couldn't help but double-team him in advance. Chen Fang still chose to break through. He just took two steps and turned around again. This time, almost three players of the Ducks jumped up, but Chen Fang didn't jump. He saw Elijah rushing in.

A hit to the ground, and then Elijah drove straight in and dunked with both hands.

Chen Fang's first assist of the game finally came in the twelfth minute of the second half.

This seemed to open a valve, and the Ducks' suppression throughout the entire game was finally loosened. After McLaughlin passed the ball to Chen Fang, he suddenly shot from two meters above the arc. This three-pointer was more like a clarion call for an attack.

Afterwards, after a stalemate with the opponent for the entire game, Metu found the weakness. He used his better jumping ability to frequently attack the inside line, and Chen Fang continuously passed him alley-oops.

Suddenly, the whole situation was reversed.

Ducks head coach Dana stood there with his hands on his hips, helpless.

The whole team has done a good job, but it is impossible for them to fight so hard throughout the whole game. Their physical strength has become a problem and the opponents are well-rested.

Can't hold back!

Just as he expected, Andy immediately waved his whip to speed up the pace of attack and defense.

Chen Fang finally didn't have to hold the ball. He slowly followed the team's offense and defense transitions. At this moment, his symbolic significance was greater than his actual contribution. As long as he was on the court, the Ducks felt like a mountain was pressing on their hearts.

With Chen Fang hitting his fifth three-pointer in the bottom corner, his score reached 35 points and Troy took the lead.

58: 50.

With 3 minutes remaining, the Ducks coach called a timeout as he wanted to try again.

Andy was very happy. He wished that Chen Fang could have more time to rest. Today Chen Fang did not leave the court and played the full 37 minutes.

Then, a strange thing happened at the scene. When the timeout ended and the ball was just passed, Andy called a timeout.

Chen Fang returned to the bench again and looked at the head coach with a wry smile.

"This is a gift for you." The old man blinked.

When they returned to the court again, the Ducks were indeed going crazy. Dillon made an unreasonable shot and made a three-pointer.

Then, Bell, who was left unattended, also made a magical three-pointer.

The situation became tense again, with a 2-point difference between the two teams, and anything was possible.

At the last minute, Chen Fang, who was pulling in the corner, suddenly made a reverse run, shook off Bell, and went to the top of the arc along the three-point line. Dillon filled in to chase him, so Chen Fang almost ran to the center circle before he received the ball from McLaughlin.

Standing in the center circle, Chen Fang didn't move, and Ti Lung didn't dare to move at all.

Chen Fang made all 10 free throws today, with a % hit rate, which made Dillon dare not move at all.

I looked up at the time and saw Chen was counting down.

In the commentary booth, the American commentator highly praised Chen Fang.

"This is a performance of top basketball IQ. At this time, as long as Chen Fang has the ball, the Ducks will be forced to accept the countdown. Chen Fang's free throw rate is 100%, and no one dares to touch him."

"In the last minute, Chen Fang has to read the time to the last 30 seconds!"

The sports center, which had been bustling with noise, slowly quieted down as Chen Fang began to count down. It was a dull moment, but also a decisive moment.

Everyone focused their attention on Chen Fang, including the coaches, referees, commentators, and more than 18,000 red and green fans.

When the time reached 40 seconds, Chen Fang, who had been standing upright, slowly bent down. He gently patted the ball and began to walk forward slowly with his feet. He raised his head slightly and looked at Dillon.

And Ti Lung also understood that it was time to end everything.

It’s personal grudges, the team’s wins and losses, and even every future matchup.

"Come on, I'm waiting for you!" Dillon grinned and stared at Chen Fang fiercely.

The distance between the two was getting closer and closer. Chen Fang dribbled the ball from slow to even slower, as if it was repeated in slow motion. An unspeakable fear suddenly appeared in Dillon's heart, and his eyes changed.

Chen Fang, who was staring into his eyes the whole time, caught it.

Almost at the same time, Chen Fang moved.

With a change of direction between the hips, it was the most extreme visual presentation from slow to fast. Ti Lung felt that Chen Fang in front of him disappeared. He didn't even have time to turn his head before he heard a sudden loud bang in the audience.

Chen placed himself at the top of the arc, used a change of direction to shake off Dillon, and made his sixth three-pointer with a jump shot half a meter away on the same side of Dillon.

It was also his 38 points.

The Ducks only had 25 seconds left.

Chen Fang used the 35 seconds for attacking and not a single second was lost.

After patting Ti Lung who looked like he had lost his soul, Chen Fang began to laugh.

"Don't be like this, we will have more fights in the future, see you next time!" After saying this, Chen Fang waved goodbye.

It seemed like a farewell. Even after the whistle blew, Dillon, who was sitting on the floor, hadn't come to his senses.

"This is not your fault!" The head coach came on the court and comforted his teammates one by one. Finally, he came to Dillon, patted his head and said.

Dillon didn't answer, he looked around blankly.

He realized afterwards that when Chen Fang shot him, he stood there in a daze for more than a second.

The next day, the NCAA called this daze: the daze of the century.

The news wrote: To bystanders, it was just a second, but to Ti Lung, it was a lifetime.

Only Ti Lung knew that at that moment, he was shocked by Chen Fang, and this became the most shameful thing in his life.

Many years later, the two old friends met again and Ti Lung told this story, which made Chen Fang laugh out loud.

"Dude, I had a few ideas in mind, but I noticed from the corner of my eye that you didn't move, so I jumped up next to you. Haha, well, this confusion has been bothering me, and it's rare that you said it out loud."

On that day, Chen Fang led the USC Trojans to a historic advance to the league finals. Their opponent was the Arizona Wildcats, who had lost both games.

Who will be the league champion?
The answer is number 13.

On the evening of the 11th, Chen Fang said to the whole team and coach Andy: "After this time, I believe no one can defeat me."

“I feel like I’m stronger again!”
