UCLA are considered the favourites to win the tournament, so their game is in the spotlight.

Several media outlets, as well as many NBA teams, are also paying close attention to their games.

In order to broadcast the UCLA game, the local TV station in Los Angeles made a temporary broadcast adjustment, which was originally planned to broadcast the game between the Clippers and the Celtics, and changed to broadcast the NCAA, where there are many more people who follow UCLA than the Clippers.

The audience has needs, and sensible broadcasters naturally have to meet them.

Poor Clippers, who quickly became lonely after a brief period of glory, and their status in Los Angeles deteriorated, and their exposure was not even as good as that of an NCAA team.

If you look at the team's history, let alone the Clippers, even the Lakers are not as old as UCLA's history.

Because this UCLA team includes not only mature stars like Oscar, but also superstars like Mu Chenfeng and Felix, UCLA's exposure has reached an unprecedented height, and it can be seen from the audience who attended the game, including the president of the NBA, the vice president of the Lakers, the head coach of the Heat team, and countless scouts from all walks of life, from the moment UCLA entered the knockout round, it was destined to pay such attention.

This is a real big scene, Mu Chenfeng and Felix couldn't help but get nervous after hearing that there were so many big names, being a newcomer, this is a normal reaction, Oscar also performed like this when he played his first NCAA knockout round.

The team's assistant coach used "meditation" to help the players relax, which had a very good effect, and soon the tension in Mu Chenfeng and Felix's hearts was mostly gone.

"Take it easy, the opponent is Nevada, just play casually." Oscar walked up to each of his teammates and whispered the same thing in their ears.

"Yes." Mu Chenfeng pretended to be calm.

The entrance announcement sounded, and the game was about to start in 10 minutes.

"Today is our first step towards the championship, brothers, go all out."

Oscar brought the players together and made a short but powerful speech, and the emotions of the players were immediately mobilized, worthy of being a natural leader, Oscar did the best in motivating the team, even if he encountered opponents who were stronger than himself, he also had a way to make the players ignite their fighting spirit.

The players of the two sides entered the field, but the comparison of the starting lineup was quite touching, compared to the star-studded UCLA, the starting lineup of the University of Nevada was very mediocre, there was no star player in the team, and even in terms of height, all positions were shorter than UCLA.

"How do you fight this?" Before the start of the game, the players of the University of Nevada were still full of confidence and planned to make a big upset, and when they saw the starters of UCLA, Nevada's momentum instantly dissipated, and even before the game officially started, some players withdrew, and they were still the starting players in the team.

"No matter how you say it, you have to finish the game, and it would be a shame to abstain." Nevada's team member whispered.

"Yes, even if you lose more, you can't give up, if you want to blame it, you can only blame our bad fate, and we met UCLA in the first game of the knockout round."

"Don't say it so innocently, it's like we have a chance of winning when we meet other teams, anyway, we have completed the task given by the coach and entered the knockout round, as for this game, if you lose, you will lose, and if you lose to the defending champion, there is no shame."

The University of Nevada players were clearly not focused on the game, and some of them were already thinking about what to eat after the game.

The Nevada players were basically in a state of giving up.

"On the other side, please be serious, since you are standing on the court, please respect the basketball, respect the opponent, and respect the audience who support you." Oscar just wanted to speak, but Mu Chenfeng took the lead, and what he said turned out to be exactly the same as what Oscar wanted to say.

Mu Chenfeng pointed to the direction behind the University of Nevada, where dozens of people gathered, holding the University of Nevada's sign in their hands, with the names of their team members written on it, although the scale is not large, but the atmosphere is very good, completely out of the momentum of one against one hundred, in the home field of UCLA dare to shout such momentum, courage is commendable.

More than 95% of the audience here belongs to UCLA, and it is rare for Nevada audiences not to be overwhelmed by the momentum of UCLA audiences, these are loyal Nevada fans, they have students, workers, white-collar workers, different professions, but their enthusiasm is really the same, they firmly believe that the team they support can win, even if the opponent is the defending champion, even if this is UCLA's home stadium.

"Our fans?" The Nevada team members looked around, and there were a few green dots scattered in the golden sea of UCLA, which belonged to Nevada, they were like leaves falling into the golden sea, small but real.

"That's right, we're not fighting for ourselves." Some Nevada players regained their fighting spirit because of the arrival of the crowd, "Even if it's for them, we're going to give it our all in this game." ”

The distance from Neva to UCLA is more than 2000 miles.

"It's a good trip to play against the defending champions, and even if you can't win, at least you have to cause some problems."

Nevada is back on its feet, and it's full.

"That's right." Mu Chenfeng smiled, "Let's have a good fight." ”

Although Nevada is not a traditional powerhouse, basketball has a long history, and over a long period of time, they have also formed their own unique team style, that is, team basketball, selfless basketball.

In the NCAA team, as long as it is a strong team, there must be big names, and if there are big names, it is bound to be impossible to fully implement team basketball, because these big names are extremely aggressive, and they can rely on their own strength to complete the offense.

Nevada, on the other hand, had to play team basketball because there were no big names in the team, and they interpreted team basketball to the fullest, and the team's assists even exceeded that of many popular teams.

Damian and Nevada's center played a jump ball, and Damian, a jumper specialist, lost the jump ball this time, and the Nevada big man grabbed the ball by a near-overwhelming margin.

"What's going on with this momentum?" Damian was stunned by the momentum displayed by his opponent, and he rarely saw anyone play with "anger" emotions at the beginning.

"Good shot." The Nevada players controlled the ball, and the remaining four players quickly dispersed, settled, stuck positions, and set up an offensive formation.

"What a quick reaction time." The Nevada players started almost at the same time as they confirmed possession, which allowed them to settle earlier than the UCLA players and grab a favorable position.

"The speed is good." Several scouts in the stands turned on the discussion mode, one of whom was wearing black sunglasses, "It's just that speed alone is useless, and in terms of the quality of the players, Nevada is no match for UCLA at all." ”

As soon as the words ended, Felix snatched the basketball from the Nevada player, and then threw a long throw, and the basketball quickly passed through the half court.
