"I'm saddened, not because of those media reports, but because the glory of our UCLA has been forgotten. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 "We haven't won the NCAA championship in 20 years, and we didn't even make it to the round of 64 last year, so those media dare to say that." ”

"If it had been twenty years ago, or '06, would they have dare?" Coach Carl yelled, like an angry lion.

Twenty years ago, UCLA was an NCAA champion, and who would dare to underestimate the UCLA Bruins?

In '06, UCLA had Russell Westbrook and Kevin Love, and they made it all the way to the round of 64, the round of 32, and finally the last four...... At that time, even if you didn't win the championship, who would dare to question UCLA?

Can't!

At that time, no one could deny that UCLA was a strong contender for the championship, because they proved to everyone that they had that kind of quality.

But now?

Nearly a decade has passed, but UCLA seems to be getting worse and worse, even to the point where it can't even squeeze into the top 64.

This is also the most uncomfortable thing for Coach Carl, as a coach, as an old strong team, but he can't even squeeze into the round of 64, which is too embarrassing!

"Coach. Chen Feng and Charles shouted in unison.

Carl's words sent a huge shock through their hearts, and they finally realized that they were not only shouldering their own future, the honor of the school, but also the glory of the past. A down-and-out strong team needs them to regain their past glory.

"Chen, Charles. Karl looked at the two of them, his face lit up, and said, "Both of you are very good players. ”

"In the past, Charles was alone, although he worked hard, but he lacked good helpers. But now it's different, with Chen, Charles, you can play better, and our outside line has also been raised a notch. ”

"What I said to reporters wasn't a joke, I really think we have a chance to win the championship this year. ”

"Looking at the history of UCLA in the last 20 years, even in '06, I don't think we are as strong as we are this year. "This is our chance, our chance to get back to the top and defend our glory." Chen, Charles, go play, for the glory of UCLA, for the championship!"

Finally, Karl added: "Of course, for your own sake. Charles, in particular, you're a senior this year, and this is your last chance. If the team wins the championship, you will definitely be able to get a spot in the lottery, maybe even the top few places. ”

Carl didn't dare to say the top three, after all, there are still many excellent players in the NCAA, and they are in super strong teams such as North Carolina, Duke, Starkey, and Connecticut. Whether it is in terms of individual ability or team record, they have a big advantage over Charles.

So, Karl didn't dare to say the top three, but there was still a chance in the lotto area. Of course, the premise is that UCLA's record is good enough.

"Well, I understand. Charles nodded, his heart full of ambition.

This time it wasn't just for the school, for the glory, but also for himself, and he had to do his best no matter what.

Unbeknownst to Carl and Charles, Chen Feng is also planning to participate in the draft this year, so he will also need to fight for his future.

After talking so much to the two, Carl was in a much better mood.

He looked at Chen Feng and Charles, and said with a smile: "As for those media, don't pay attention to them." When they see our strength, they will obediently shut up. Remember, the best way to fight back is to prove yourself! ”

"Yes, Coach. Chen Feng and Charles were shocked and shouted in unison.

......

Carl returned to the court with Chen Feng and Charles.

Seeing the three of them arriving together, Mike and the others immediately stopped training and gathered around one by one.

"Let's train, from today onwards, we have to train a little bit stricter. "You see the newspapers, they say we don't know the sky, then we have to let them know that we are eagles who want to spread their wings." ”

Everyone's hearts were shocked.

Karl waved his hand and said, "Training!"

Chen Feng and Charles took the lead and began to train in full swing.

Seeing the two of them working so hard, the others are not lazy, and the coach is here, and the doubts in their hearts are not easy to ask, so they can only hold back and train hard.

Karl stepped back to the sidelines and stood with the assistant coach, Freeman, a tall black man in his thirties who was also a former player who retired early due to injuries and his own abilities.

He approached Karl and asked in a low voice, "Coach Karl, why don't you tell everyone what you just said to Chen and Charles? I think it's very exciting, and it will definitely inspire these young people to work harder." ”

"Did you hear that?" Karl frowned.

"Hehe, I'm worried about you, coach, and I'm going to come and have a look, and I heard it outside the door. Freeman smiled and explained.

"Oh. Karl looked relieved, handed Freeman a grateful look, and said, "Freeman, what I said was sincere, and I didn't say that to motivate Chen and Charles. But you have to know that those words are useful to Chan and Charles, because they have their own pursuits, they have a strong desire to win, and they want to defeat their enemies and stand on the highest mountain. ”

Carlett paused and sighed, "However, some people are not like this, whether it is because of their personality or because of their own ability, they do not have such qualities. So, my words can't be valid for everyone. What's more, UCLA's honor, don't you think these words are too heavy? On Chen and Charles, it is motivation, and on others it is pressure, which will crush them. ”

"So, you're not even going to say Abraham?" Freeman snapped.

"Yes. Karl nodded and said, "Abraham is still too young, his mind is far from mature, and it would be harmful to him to say that." ”

Freeman nodded, then frowned again, and asked, "However, Chen and Charles will definitely say it, and they will know sooner or later." ”

"Haha......" Carl laughed, "it's not the same from me as from Chen's mouth." I said, that's the pressure, it's going to crush them. And Chen said that that is motivation, and these will be understood when you work for a few more years. ”

Freeman's heart was shocked, and when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was really like that, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that I still have a lot to learn!"
