In October 1995, the Los Angeles derby between the UCLA Bruins and the USC Trojans was staged again, which was the Nth meeting between the two teams.

After nearly two months of training, the strength of the team has risen significantly, they beat the opponent by 47 points in the intercollegiate competition against the opponent in the same city, the Bruins showed almost a level higher than the opponent in the game, they used fast counterattacks and jaw-dropping three-point rain in the first half to beat the opponent, Liu Han only played 15 minutes to score 15 points, four rebounds, seven assists, super efficient performance caused a burst of exclamation from the audience on the sidelines. Paul Pearce, who started the game, played 30 minutes, scored 27 points and eight rebounds, and the maturity he showed on the court even made his age doubt.

Mark Plante, who felt that he could still follow Liu Han in last year's confrontation game, had nothing to do with Liu Han this year, and Liu Han, who could break through, shoot, and pass, almost made Mark Plante desperate on the court.

This year's match was held on UCLA's home turf, and this time LaBeouf's entire family appeared on the courtside, including LaBeouf's adorable grandson and granddaughter, and the two little ones, who are over half a year old, can be picked up under the care of adults. This time, LaBeouf was still holding the same sign from last year - Lily and Sergei were here, with her eldest daughter Nasha and Li Rui holding her granddaughter next to her.

Li Rui has always been very concerned about Liu Han, and at the same time, he also wants to pay attention to the young man who he has only taught for a year - Paul Pearce.

Although Safina is a USC student, she still supports her beloved, sitting around with UCLA supporters, she can cheer for Liu Han's goal unscrupulously, but Liu Han's short playing time makes Safina feel uncomfortable, she wonders if she should go to George Krent to talk, George is very afraid of Safina, because he once accosted this beautiful girl when he didn't know Safina two years ago, an experience that made George feel ashamed and wanted to die, He just wanted to get to know the girl who looked like Nasha, but of course, it was just his own explanation.

After the intercollegiate match with the USC, the Bruins played a series of warm-up games, in the game against the University of Connecticut Huskies, Liu Han played 27 minutes, scored 19 points and 14 assists, Paul Pierce played 31 minutes, scored 23 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists, and the Bruins won 94-86. Liu Han's friend Ray Allen also played well in this game, scoring 31 points, but the Bruins had no choice but to blossom more, and the team's 6 double-doubled scores made Ray Allen's 31 points useless, and after the game, Ray Allen ridiculed Paul Pierce's behavior of "hugging his thighs", fortunately, Paul knew that this was a sign of Ray Allen's jealousy, and said that in the future, maybe who would hug whose thighs.

The Bruins lost to the opponent by 23 points in the game with the Duke University Blue Devils, Liu Han did not play in this game because of a cold, the Bruins were led by Paul Pierce and the opponent maneuvered, but the team was paralyzed after the team did not have Liu Han, and finally lost to the opponent by a large score, Liu Han felt very sorry for his cold, because he almost never got sick, and this was the first time in his life that he went to the hospital.

Next, the Bruins played a warm-up game with the University of Kentucky Wildcats, the Bruins were completely blown up by the opponent inside, but the team was stunned by 19 three-pointers under the leadership of Liu Han, the opponent's basket in this game was as wide as the sea for the Bruins players, Liu Han hit 7 three-pointers, Paul Pierce also hit 5 three-pointers, and even the team's captain and main center Thomson also gained something on the three-point line, he hit an ultra-long-range shot before the end of the halftime, With less than two seconds left in the game, Thomson received the ball in his own half and threw it straight away, and the basketball was lucky to hit the board and hit the frame. Liu Han had 19 assists when his teammates were bursting with their collective hands, setting a new record for his previous highest assist. In the end, the Bruins relied on their magical three-point performance to win the game 98-89.

The Bruins' performance in the warm-up games has led supporters to think that the Bruins may be able to defend their NCAA title this year.

In mid-November 1995, the 95-96 season of the NCAA game officially started, the first game of the Bruins opponent was Stanford University who killed them in the regular season of the 10-school league last year, in this game the Bruins have been steadily controlling the rhythm of the game in their own hands, the whole team relied on fast rotation and sharp counterattacks to make the opponent miserable, Liu Han sent 13 assists in the game, and also hit 5 shots on the three-point line, Paul Pierce felt slightly worse, Playing 35 minutes and scoring only 17 points, Paul, who was playing in the NCAA for the first time, was still a little immature, and he played very average in the game with a little nervousness. But the Bruins still relied on Liu Han's tandem and the team's excellent performance to win the opponent, and the final score was 87-79.

The Bruins who came to the away side in the second leg once again easily defeated the opponent Stanford University, but Paul Pierce's performance still did not improve, he played 30 minutes in this game, only got 14 points and 7 rebounds, the mature and stable Paul Pierce in the warm-up game was gone, and he was in an impatient mood and frequently shot on the outside in the game, but his hand felt like it was frozen, and the incarnation of the blacksmith made Paul very depressed after the game. Liu Han once again handed out double-digit assists in this game, and Liu Han hit 6 three-pointers again from beyond the three-point line as if he had promised God, and the Bruins' outside offense left the opponent puzzled. In the end, the Bruins relied on Liu Han's excellent performance and won the opponent by 15 points 92-77. The Bruins avenged last year's one-shot win by beating rivals Stanford University home and away.

Over the next six games, the Bruins relied on their excellent performance to win all of their games, beating the University of Washington, Washington State University and the University of California, Berkeley, home and away. The Bruins' impressive performance amazed all the 10-school league teams that they were strong, and Liu Han's double-double assists made the Los Angeles media exclaim that last season's sharpshooter turned into the brain of the court, and "Reggie Miller" became "Stockton". However, Paul Pierce's performance has not been very good, his hand feels like being blown away by the Pacific Ocean breeze without a trace, nearly 20 shots per game, but only can hit less than 7 goals, and the shooting rate of about 30% cannot guarantee an effective score on the field.

"Paul, I don't know what's wrong with you, but I think you're irritable because you've been doing badly lately?" Liu Han found irritability and depression in Paul Pearce's eyes.

"Liu, how do you maintain such a high shooting percentage on the court, you must know that every time you shoot almost always outside the three-point line, and you have almost maintained a shooting percentage of more than nine cities until now. I don't know what's wrong with me, I just think I should have shot at the beginning and the ball should have gone in, but every time it came out of the frame and then I didn't dare to shoot because I knew it wouldn't go in. I don't want to be seen as a burden. Paul spoke his heart to Liu Han.

"Well, I don't know how I keep it, but I think the shooting should be as smooth as eating and drinking, I think you should keep shooting, 11 if you don't go in, 21 if you don't score, there will always be a time to score, as long as you dare to shoot."

"But what if the team loses? My coach would scold me, my teammates would complain about me, and I wouldn't be able to play in the NBA in the future. ”

"Don't you know, Paul? Last season, we lost eight games in the regular season and won the championship in the end, haha, don't worry, the coach won't scold you, and your teammates won't complain about you, as long as you dare to vote, I will definitely help you in the future. The simple-minded Liu Han thought that Paul Pierce was just worried about the regular season of the 10-school league.

Liu Han really had no regrets in the next game against the University of Arizona Wildcats, he passed the ball to Paul Pierce a lot in the game, but unfortunately Paul's hand has not been there, he took 26 shots in the game, only hit 6 balls, but when the game was over, no one blamed Paul Pierce, because he shot the most crucial ball of the whole game.

In this game, the Bruins have been behind, Paul Pierce's hand seems to have been forgotten in the Pacific, he frequently fired on the outside, but the ball just didn't go in, but Paul remembered Liu Han's words, he didn't hesitate in the game, as long as he received the ball, he would end the offense, and Paul Pierce made 18 shots in the entire first half and only hit one goal. In the first half, the Bruins lost to the opponent by 14 points, and after the start of the second half, Liu Han passed the ball to Paul Pierce as always, but the latter passed the ball to his teammates, and the opponent Wildcats always thought that Paul would end the offense by receiving the ball like in the first half, so Paul Pierce's pass played a certain role, and the Bruins did not let the opponent continue to stretch the score at the end of the third quarter. Entering the fourth quarter, Paul Pierce burst out, relying on his skillful offensive footwork and back-to-back skills to make frequent singles success, and the Bruins equalized the score at the end of the game. In the last offense of the Wildcats, Paul successfully blocked the opponent's shot, and in the subsequent attack of the Bruins, Liu Han, who was supposed to perform the last attack, passed the ball to Paul Pierce outside the three-point line in the face of the opponent's bag, Paul did not live up to Liu Han's pass, he ended the game with a knife, and Paul Pierce, who shot 6 of 26 in the game, completed the redemption.

When his teammates hugged Paul Pierce, Paul thanked them, because he knew that if it weren't for the trust of his teammates, Liu Han and the coach, he wouldn't have had so many shooting opportunities.
