Not three points, but two points, Duke's final shot, through replay, was recognized by the referee as stepping on the line, and the victory belonged to UCLA.

It was a hard-fought victory, as UCLA managed to top their group and advance to the round of 32, while Duke University lost the game but a 6-1 record saw them qualify for the tournament.

At this point, the complete list of the top 32 in the NCAA league has also been produced, in addition to the traditional giants have all been promoted, and several dark horses have also been born, and they are likely to become the X factor that changes the league pattern.

Duncan's Wake Forest University finished in 32nd place with a 3-4 record, finishing the last place to qualify, and the only team to qualify with fewer wins and more losses.

UCLA's successful promotion has brought new vitality to the city of Los Angeles, in fact, Los Angeles' basketball has fallen into an unprecedented trough in the past two years, and the two NBA teams belonging to the city have not performed well in the last two seasons, the Lakers have never won the championship since they won the championship two years ago, and they have not even been able to enter the finals, once they fell in the Western Conference finals, and once they lost seven times in the second round, as the banner of Los Angeles, the Lakers' performance is difficult to satisfy the fans of the city.

As the "little brother", the Clippers performed even worse, the team lacked big stars, and the record could only hover on the edge of the playoffs, after barely squeezing into the playoffs for five consecutive years, the Clippers did not even enter the playoffs last season, ranking tenth in the West.

In two days' time, both teams will face the opening game of the new season, with the Lakers facing the Denver Nuggets, who eliminated them in the second round of the Western Conference last season, while the Clippers will travel to the East to challenge the Philadelphia 76ers, who performed well last season, and this past season, Philadelphia reached the Eastern Conference Finals, and was defeated by Wade after six games by the Miami Heat.

But the defeat of the 76ers was not reprimanded and abused by the outside world, because the Miami Heat that year was too inexplicable, and the Finals Wade Jr. was even more miraculous, perfectly replicating his father, Dwyane Wade's Finals miracle in 2006, even more exaggerated than the old Wade, averaging 36.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, the difference is that Wade Jr. has more helpers around him than Wade Sr.

Fans around the world were expecting the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat to meet on the Finals stage, and Wade arrived as scheduled, but was not able to wait for James.

In the new season, two teams in Los Angeles set sail again, aiming for the championship.

In the offseason, both teams made reinforcements, and the Lakers even offered James the largest contract extension in history for 5 years and 480 million, keeping the proud son of heaven in the City of Angels for the next five years.

"If nothing else, you'll be teammates next year." Mu Chenfeng holds the latest fan poster of the Los Angeles Lakers, on which James Bryant is firmly in the C position, and next to him are some star players who are now famous.

"Maybe." Felix hesitated to answer.

"What, no faith?" Mu Chenfeng asked.

"Not really, there's an indescribable feeling."

Felix has rarely talked about the Los Angeles Lakers lately, and he seems to be running away from the team he's always been interested in.

What are Mu Chenfeng's concerns until Felix, the Los Angeles Lakers, as a traditional giant, have never had a tradition of cultivating stars personally, and many big-name stars in team history, among them are either talented players who are at the peak of their debut, such as Magic Johnson, Baylor, etc., or they have become famous superstars from other teams through trades, such as Big Shark O'Neal, Skyhook Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, LeBron James, etc., very few players like Kobe Bryant have been slowly cultivated, and even the current core James · The same goes for Bryant, who was destined for a brilliant career from the moment he entered the league.

Apparently Felix doesn't fall into either of the two, which has shaken him up in his career, and Los Angeles may not be the best place to start.

"You must look very handsome in a purple and gold robe." Mu Chenfeng began to fantasize about Felix wearing a Lakers jersey.

"Maybe." Felix suddenly felt a lot more determined, "Tell me about you, which team do you plan to start with?" ”

Felix flipped the poster over and emblazoned the logos of the 30 MLB teams on the back.

"I haven't figured it out yet." Mu Chenfeng looked at the team's logo and looked a little confused, he never thought about this problem, he just wanted to knock on the door of the American professional basketball team, as for which team to play for, he really didn't think much about it.

"Otherwise, let's go on a team." Felix proposed.

"The Lakers?" Mu Chenfeng was a little moved, the Purple and Gold Army can be said to be an important totem that accompanied him throughout his basketball career, he picked up basketball because of Kobe, although Kobe is no longer there, but his spirit and the glorious past he brought to the city have been deeply imprinted in every corner of the city, "Am I really worthy?" ”

Standing in the city where idols have served will always give people an inexplicable strength, and at the same time, it will also bring pressure to people.

Of course, this is just the imagination of the two, and in the end, it is not in their own hands which team they enter the NBA and which team they play, everything depends on the choice of the team.

There is still more than half a year left before the NBA draft, which is enough for the two to grow and improve.

However, it is unlikely that the two will enter the same team, so it is highly likely that the two will meet as rivals once they enter the profession.

"Wind, I hope that one day the two of us can appear in the NBA at the same time, whether it is teammates or opponents." Felix looked up at the starry sky, two of which shone the most, "Just like those two stars, we will shine brighter than one another." ”

"There will come a time." Mu Chenfeng responded.

The NCAA group stage and the knockout stage are separated by a week, and the time of the week will be at the discretion of the team, and the first thing UCLA does in order to give the players enough rest is to give the whole team a three-day vacation, which is also regarded as a reward for the team to win and advance.

"Rest?" After receiving the notice of rest, Mu Chenfeng was stunned, in order to maintain the competitive state of the domestic team will arrange an appropriate amount of training, there has never been a holiday, until the end of the last game will not be a holiday, but in the NCAA, holidays are a regular thing, and the rest time is also at the disposal of the players themselves, only need to report to the team once a day in the morning and evening.

Compared with China, the competition environment in foreign countries is much more relaxed.

Mu Chenfeng had never experienced such a situation, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he planned to spend his "three-day vacation" on the training ground.

In the early morning, the sun was already shining, and just as Mu Chenfeng was about to take the ball to the training ground, Felix ran to the door of his room in a hurry.

"How did you spend the holidays?" Felix asked.

"How else can I live?" Mu Chenfeng patted the basketball in his hand, "It's been on the training ground." ”

"Isn't it, still playing on vacation?"

"Otherwise, there's nothing to do, it's almost the knockout round, go to the training ground to stay in shape."

"I have a better way to keep you in shape, but to improve your condition." Felix patted his chest confidently.

"If you have something to say, don't sell it." Mu Chenfeng's interest was instantly hoisted, and he urged impatiently.
