The game continues in February.
They defeated the University of Washington, Oregon State, Arizona State, and UC Berkeley successively. Before the last game of the regular season, they had improved their record to 33 wins and 1 loss, securing the first place in the regular season record of the Parker Twelve League in advance.
The last battle of the regular season finally ushered in a battle with USC.
The entire Los Angeles was empty, and even the NBA deliberately staggered the game between the Lakers and the Clippers on this day, just to make way for South Carolina.
Before the game, countless media poured into the Pauley Arena.
USC head coach Bob was interviewed.
"Coach Bob, they have achieved a proud record of 33 wins and 1 loss. If they can win tonight, they will have the best record in the Parker Twelve League since 1967."
"Can USC beat them tonight?"
Of course Bob remembered who had the best record in the Parker Twelve League in 1967, which is the current Bruins team.
Led by Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor Jr., later renamed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, they played what may have been the most dominant game in NCAA basketball history.
30 wins and 0 losses!
And won 3 NCAA championships in 4 years.
The game environment back then led to a slight decrease in the number of games compared to now, so strictly speaking, if the team led by Zhang Jun really has a terrifying record of 34 wins and 1 loss, it will not be as good as the team led by Tiangou Kareem. How much worse is the record.
Bob felt the pressure, and felt that he really underestimated the player named Zhang Jun last year, but at this time he still tried to maintain a relaxed mood and said.
"We have no fear."
"No fear of Zhang Jun, no fear."
"The first record in the regular season only means that they will participate in the next league championship game as the No. 1 seed, but it does not mean that they have already won."
"On the contrary, the USC Conference will go all out tonight and treat this game as the upcoming league championship game."
"We will definitely win the game, and Nick Young is already hungry."
Nick Yang beside him was also surrounded by a group of reporters, he said calmly in a hip-hop suit.
"I will defeat Zhang Jun with my own hands, pull the first step in California that you boast about from the altar, and let him know that in California, I, Nick Young, is the best player."
Nick Young's remarks quickly spread to the next door.
Le Fu was very angry.
"That Nick Yang is really looking for death. If you dare to say that about my brother Jun, he doesn't know how powerful his breakthrough is."
Ba Mote was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, he clenched his fist and said, "You don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, let me guard against him later."
Alford signaled everyone to calm down.
"USC just wants to **** us off and make us lose our minds."
"At this time, we need to calm down, find the opponent's weakness, and win the game in one fell swoop."
Zhang Jun, who had been sitting quietly by the closet, suddenly stood up.
"Coach, can you let me guard Nick Young later?"
Alford was taken aback.
Zhang Jun and Nick Young are both shooting guards, and it stands to reason that the two can indeed face each other directly on the court.
But considering that Nick Young is the strongest scoring point in Southern California, Alford arranged for Mbah a Moute to mark Nick Young's defensive arrangement from the beginning.
Assistant coach Sid said, "Zhang Jun, don't get carried away."
"Your job is to score, so you just have to...."
Alford patted Sid on the shoulder to interrupt him, then looked at Zhang Jun and said, "Okay, I agree."
"However, if Nick Young played a good offense against you in the first half, I would switch back to defensive tactics in the second half."
Zhang Jun nodded, and then walked directly towards the player tunnel, followed by all the players.
They are all valiant and high-spirited, and their fighting spirit has reached its peak.
"Coach, Zhang Jun is the core of our offense. Defending Nick Young will definitely consume a lot of his physical strength. If it affects his offensive performance at that time, it will be harmful to us."
Xi De mentioned the key reason why he stopped Zhang Jun.
West Germany had a discussion with Alford a long time ago. This Bruins team can leave Love, they can leave Mbah a Moute, they can leave anyone, even the coaching staff, but they can't do without Zhang. Jun's attack.
Alford naturally knew this truth, but he also knew another truth.
"Last year, before we went to invite Zhang Jun to join, Bob from Southern California also went to him."
"You know, Bob wants Zhang Jun to help Nick Young......"
hiss!
I see.
Sid looked at the back of Zhang Jun leaving, and finally understood the reason why the opponent pointed out to defend Nick Young, and also understood the reason why Alford agreed with Zhang Jun's idea.
He encouraged: "Zhang Jun, go kill that Nick Yang!"
Pauley Arena, live commentary desk.
"Kenny, this is the second time we've covered an NCAA game this year, and it's just the regular season. Isn't that a little too much?"
Barkley, who is one of TNT's top three commentators, seldom commentates even in the NBA regular season. He is only invited to heavyweight games such as the All-Star Game, playoffs and even the finals.
But now, he explains NCAA games twice a year~www.mtlnovel.com~ It's still the most common regular season, so of course such thoughts will arise.
Kenny Smith smiled and did not explain directly, but pointed to the first row of the stadium auditorium and said.
"If you saw them, you probably wouldn't have such thoughts."
The first row of the auditorium.
Trail Blazers GM Steve Patterson, Sonics GM Sam Presti and Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak are on the list.
Behind them were scouts and staff from countless teams.
Flying Pig Barkley frowned, and was about to turn his head and tell his old partner that the audience at this level was not enough to shock him.
As a result, in a blink of an eye, I saw Kobe Bryant wearing a black knitted hat on the other side, Dwyane Wade of the new FMVP Heat, and Tracy McGrady, the man nicknamed the Sleeper.
"oh!"
"It really shocked me to be able to attract these people to watch the last game of the NCAA regular season."
Every year, the NCAA can attract many NBA stars to watch, but most of the time these stars choose to watch the league championship game or tournament.
It is indeed rare that such an ordinary regular season can attract so many traffic stars.
Report from the scene.
A reporter said eloquently to the camera: "This is a highly anticipated game. This is an NCAA game that was broadcast live on TNT."
"The Bruins will play against the University of Southern California at home, and the All-California first step Zhang Jun will play against the California genius Kaleidoscope Nick Young."
"I believe that the audience friends in front of the TV can't wait, let us look forward to today's game together!"
