Chapter 403: Iron and Blood Project
It was the last ten minutes, and despite trailing by 17 points, USC did not give up and was still fighting hard to chase the score. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Unfortunately, they ran into UCLA.
When the momentum of chasing points was broken down again and again, and it was seen a little smaller again and again, but it was quickly pulled away by UCLA, the USC players finally despaired.
Maybe they still have the strength, maybe they can still fight, but there is no time, less and less time, the bigger and bigger difference in points makes him depressed, and he has to swallow the defeat.
"Toot ......"
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game and the score was fixed at 87:65, everyone in USC was silent, and they still lost, and they lost by 22 points.
'It's okay, boys, it's just one game, we have an away game. Coach Paul's eyes were slightly red, and he said to his players, "Next time, next time we will definitely win back." I believe in you, and I believe you can do it. ”
"Coach ......" The players looked at the coach, their voices choked up, and they couldn't speak.
In fact, the significance of a game to a team may not only depend on the game itself, but also on the efforts of the players. In this game, USC tried their best, everyone did their best, but in the end they still lost, and this loss made them very uncomfortable.
Unlike USC, the UCLA crowd was calm, and despite winning the game, they weren't excited, just because of Carr's words: "It's just one game in the series, it's nothing." We have more games to come, and we have no reason to cheer or be proud until we win the division, we don't win the championship. ”
The spectators began to get up and leave, and the players and coaches on both sides shook hands and hugged each other.
Coach Karl took the initiative to meet Coach Paul, hugged him, and said apologetically: "Paul, I'm sorry, please forgive me, I just need a big win to prove to those media." You know, those media outlets are going too far about our UCLA. ”
Paul was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, his expression softened a little, and said: "Carl, don't say that, losing is losing, although we lose, we don't need you to let us." Next time, next time I hope you will do your best. ”
Carl was shocked and nodded, "Definitely." ”
The game was over, and the UCLA players returned to the locker room, showered, changed into clean clothes, and everyone hurriedly boarded the bus and rushed back to UCLA.
On the bus, Carl deliberately sat with Chen Feng.
"Chen, let's talk." Karl went straight to the point, discussing with Chen Feng along the way, discussing how to transform the UCLA Bruins into an "army".
Imagine that the team itself has Chen Feng, Charles, Abraham and others, and then transform the team into an "army" that prohibits orders, cooperates tacitly, and is meticulous, how strong will the whole team be, and it can completely impact the championship, right?
Chen Feng was also very interested in this topic, and after discussing it with Carl, he happily promised Carl that he could be a leader.
In addition, Chen Feng also brought Charles, Austin, Renard, Douglas and others in.
All of them were in danger of losing their jobs after graduation, so it didn't take much to convince them, because it wasn't just for the team, but for themselves. If it works, it will be much easier for them to draft in the future.
Discussed all the way, and soon arrived at UCLA.
Seeing that it was getting late, Carl stopped continuing, and instructed Chen Feng and Charles to continue the discussion tomorrow, and they must discuss the reason and make a plan.
......
A day later, a plan that Carl named "Project Iron Will" was drawn up and implemented step by step.
The first is to take Chen Feng, Charles and others as the leaders, strictly discipline themselves, and do that whether it is training or competition, they must be meticulous and fight for every game.
In addition, it is strictly stipulated that the time of the players' training, the training process, if they are not punctual, lazy and do not work hard, they will be severely punished.
In order to deter everyone, Carl even came up with a killer feature, if anyone is not convinced, then get out, the team would rather have a few fewer people.
Everyone was awe-inspiring, but no one really dared to resist, and no one wanted to leave, because leaving like this would not only be disgraceful, but would be spurned by others, and the basketball scholarship given by the school would be lost. That's a lot of money, and no one wants to throw it away.
At the same time, led by Chen Feng and Charles, Austin, Renard, and Douglas, the tasks assigned by Coach Carl must be forbidden, never bargained, and must be done meticulously. If you can't do it, you will be punished heavily.
Under such an iron-blooded law, everyone was very uncomfortable at first, and felt very unhappy, and many people even wanted to leave.
can see that none of Chen Feng, Charles, Renard, Austin, and Douglas have complaints, and none of them have said to give up, and the rest of them are suddenly inspired to be arrogant. If Chen Feng can do it, why can't I?
As a result, everyone began to compete secretly, and no one refused to admit that they were inferior to others, and no one refused to just slip away.
Two days have passed in a blink of an eye.
In the past two days, it has been clear that the players under him have become different.
It's not an ability, but a state, a mental outlook, a little less fire and a little more calm than when I played against USC two days ago.
From everyone's face, Carl could see a rigorous, meticulous attitude.
This is just the beginning, but Carl believes that as long as he keeps going, the team will change dramatically and there will be a leap forward. When that day comes, he will have enough confidence to impact the championship and fight against Duke, North Carolina, and Starkey!
Another day passed, and UCLA played their third game of the regular season away to the University of Colorado Boulder (CU-Boulder).
UCLA had the upper hand from the start, and Cu-Boulder wasn't a strong team, not even as good as the University of Washington.
What's more, today's UCLA is not the same as before, and there is no suspense in dealing with CU-Boulder.
In the end, UCLA defeated Cu-Boulder 89-64 after 40 minutes of battle, ushering in three consecutive wins since the start of the regular season.
At the same time, defeating the opponent by more than 20 points in two consecutive games also made all the media who dared to underestimate UCLA shut their mouths and no longer dared to make noise.
A word to readers:
How about a monthly pass?
