Chapter 329: UCLA Bruins
The dormitory was divided, Smith and Li Han helped Chen Feng move the salute to the dormitory, his other roommate was not there, and Chen Feng didn't see anyone, so he put his things away and cleaned up in the evening. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Let's go."
After putting the things away, Chen Feng rushed to the arena with Smith, who wanted to take Chen Feng to report on the basketball team and meet Coach Carl and his teammates on the basketball team.
UCLA's basketball team is called the Bruins, the full name is the UCLA Bruins, and the home arena is called the PauleyPavilion, which is a stadium that can accommodate more than 10,000 people to watch the game at the same time.
The UCLA Bruins are a veteran powerhouse in the Pacific 10 that defeated the University of Arkansas in the 1995 NCAA Finals to win the '95 NCAA Championship.
However, the UCLA Bruins have never won a championship since, most recently in 2006, when they reached the Finals again. It's a pity that in the finals, he lost the game with a big score of 57-73 and missed the championship trophy.
Since then, the UCLA Bruins have never been able to reach the finals, and they have rarely even reached the Final Four.
Of course, it does not mean that the UCLA Bruins have no strength, on the contrary, this is an old strong team, with a deep heritage and many talents, even if they have not won the championship in recent years, but their reputation is not bad at all, and they have produced many excellent players.
For example, Westbrook, one of the Thunder duo who is now in full swing, is from UCLA, and Kevin Murphy of the Cavaliers. Lefou.
These two are superstars even among the current NBA players, many people know how good they are, but few people know that the two are actually alumni.
And those who are not superstars are even more, such as Jordan of the Lakers. Famar, Pelicans Ju. Holiday is Collison of the Kings, Afflaro of the Trail Blazers, and the former meritorious player of the Warriors, many people are familiar with Byron. Davis.
It is worth mentioning that even the CBA has had a player from UCLA, that is, Jerome who played for the Southern Steel. Moisso.
It can be said that although UCLA is no longer as grand as it used to be and has always struggled to win the NCAA championship, its strength is still not comparable to ordinary teams.
And for UCLA, they have only one goal, and there will only be one - that is the NCAA championship!
With two months to go before the NCAA season begins, the Bruins have begun intense training under the leadership of Coach Carl. With a few good players recruited this year and a few veterans coming of age, Coach Carl has reason to believe the Bruins can go far in this year's NCAA.
It's a pity that what worries him is that the team lacks a soul figure, a player who can lead the Bruins to the championship!
"Keep up, keep up, switch fast, defense may not be the only thing to win, but it's an essential part, you know?" In the arena, Coach Carl crossed his waist and shouted loudly to the sweaty players on the field, very serious.
Beside him, two assistant coaches were holding notebooks and carefully recording the training for Karl to analyze.
With a "squeak", the door of the arena was pushed open, Carl frowned, turned to look, and saw that it was Smith, his brows relaxed, and he shouted with a smile: "Smith, I thought you would come in the morning, but I didn't expect you to start to be lazy." ”
"Hehe, I'm not lazy, I'm going to help Chen arrange a dormitory." Smith took Chen Feng forward and introduced Chen Feng, "Chen, this is Coach Carl. After speaking, he also introduced Carl, "Coach Carl, this is what I said about Chen Feng." ”
"Hello." Karl held out his hand.
"Coach Karl, it's a pleasure to meet you." Chen Feng also stretched out his hand, and at the same time looked at the old man in front of him who looked in his fifties and had gray hair. This is a typical white American man, tall, with blond hair and piercing eyes.
Carl was also looking at Chen Feng, he had seen Chen Feng from the information given by Smith and the game video, but it was completely different from face-to-face, and after estimating Chen Feng's height, he frowned slightly, because Chen Feng's height was only about one meter and eight.
For Carl, the Asian players he is familiar with are all big men, such as Yao Ming, roughly, easy and concise, either a center or a power forward, with almost no guards.
But Chen Feng is only a little more than 1.8 meters, and he is obviously a defender, and he can only be a defender, which makes Carl feel bottomless.
The thought in his heart turned, and Carl decided to test Chen Feng first, so he shouted at the players who were training: "Stop, come here." ”
There were eleven people in total, and they quickly ran over.
"Let me introduce you to you, this is your new teammate, Chen Feng!" Karl read Chen Feng's name a little awkwardly and introduced it to a group of people.
Looking at these eleven people, Chen Feng smiled and said, "Hello, you can call me Chen, I know my name is very awkward for you." ”
He thought that this would be a good start, a humorous opening, but none of the eleven people on the other side smiled, but just glanced at him lightly, their eyes revealed a thick contempt and indifference, which made Chen Feng sigh in his heart.
"I said, do you want me to introduce yourself for you?" Karl glared at the crowd.
These people were still very afraid of Carl, and they didn't dare to refute it, and began to introduce themselves one by one, of course, very concise and perfunctory, with only one name.
After listening, Chen Feng had already memorized these eleven people, he had a good memory, and he soon matched the name with the person.
"Alright, let's have an intra-team practice match." Karl wasn't verbose either, and went straight to the point, "Chen, you're in Group A, and Mike, Harrison, Frank, and Larry are on the same team. You play playing, by the way, have you played playmaking before? ”
"I've played, I've been an organizational defender." Chen Feng said.
Karl nodded, nodded five more as Group B, and then announced the start of the game, with the assistant coach blowing the referee while he watched.
Smith didn't rush to leave, but sat down next to Karl, and he also wanted to see if Chen Feng could quickly integrate into the team. He has no doubt about Chen Feng's strength, but whether he can integrate into the team is a huge test for Chen Feng.
