Time flies, it's game day, it's ......
The University of Oregon and UCLA games are about to kick off in the evening, and countless fans and media are looking forward to this long-awaited game.
UCLA Training Gym ......
Coach Chris gathered the players together to say something......
"Boys, tonight, the University of Oregon is coming to challenge us, and they're on a fifteen-game winning streak and they're on a winning streak, so this game is going to be a tough one, and we can't take it lightly!"
The players nodded.
"I hope you can put in the best form today, and we're going to end the University of Oregon's fifteen-game winning streak and frustrate their spirits!"

"Never give up!"
β¦β¦
"Hello, Mr. Meng Xiaohao, we would like to interview you with a few questions!" Four hours before the start of the competition, Meng Xiaohao was stopped by reporters on campus who wanted to interview him.
Meng Xiaohao nodded, he didn't remember how many reporters came to interview him, he was used to it.
"What are your thoughts on the game that will be played in a moment?"
"Uh......" Meng Xiaohao hesitated, "The University of Oregon has indeed been gaining momentum recently, after all, it has won fifteen consecutive victories, and it seems that they should also want to break the winning streak of the University of North Carolina." β
At this time, Meng Xiaohao paused, "But we are not vegetarians, we are also winning six in a row now, and we also want to continue our winning streak, so they should be careful in this game!" β
"Then how are you going to feel against Sivier again, after all, he injured you last time and left you out for eight games."
Meng Xiaohao smiled when he heard this, "How can you feel?" Sivir is a very strong person, there is no doubt about that, I think he is great, and injuries are a must for a player, I don't want to hate him just because he caused my injury, that would be too villainous! β
The reporter nodded, "Thank you very much for accepting our interview." β
Meng Xiaohao smiled, said it was okay, and left.
"Young man, don't you be able to answer questions now!" At this time, Sarid came out of nowhere, and hugged Meng Xiaohao, "Look at you just now, you were very powerful!" β
Meng Xiaohao smiled bitterly twice, and broke free of Sured, "I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run, I will also follow the cat and the tiger, besides, there are so many interviews at every turn, and I have come out of experience!" β
Listening to Meng Xiaohao's words, Sarid couldn't help laughing out loud, "Your words are really incisive!" β
Meng Xiaohao shrugged his shoulders, "Don't be skinny, think about the night game, now that Edik's popularity is getting higher and higher, and he even overshadowed you for a while, you don't plan to do something?" β
Just saw Sured sneered twice, "Of course I plan to do it, I want that kid to understand that in the Pacific League, in terms of center, he Edik is still too tender!" β
Seeing Sured's particularly warlike eyes, Meng Xiaohao also smiled slightly, and was even a little worried about Edik, because he knew that Sured was really terrible when he got serious.
At this moment, Sarid patted Meng Xiaohao's shoulder and said, "You can play well at night, don't get hurt again!" β
Surid's words made Meng Xiaohao cry and laugh, "I can't plant it twice in one team, then my idea is too bad!" β
Both of them smiled, but there was more firmness in their smiles......
β¦β¦
The race is coming as promised......
Outside the UCLA basketball arena, it was already crowded, and the attendance rate of UCLA reached 120% for this game.
Where did this 120% concept come from, mainly because the attention of this game was so high, and UCLA tickets were simply in short supply, so the university decided to add some more temporary seats, 120%, which came from here.
At this time, the players of the University of Oregon and UCLA were warming up in the venue, and Meng Xiaohao, Edik, and Siwell also greeted each other warmly.
Needless to say, the relationship between Meng Xiaohao and Edik has formed a good friendship since the friendly match in high school, and the relationship is naturally very good.
Sivir was still a little guilty because he had caused Meng Xiaohao's injury before, and with his recognition of Meng Xiaohao's strength, he also stepped forward to greet Meng Xiaohao.
The players were a little shocked to see the steady stream of spectators coming in from outside the stadium, they naturally heard about the 120% attendance, and at first they were skeptical of this figure, but now it seems that it is true.
"It's horrible!" Rivers looked at the crowd of spectators and swallowed, "I've been on the team for three years, and it's the first time that so many people have come to watch the game!" It's scary, but this time the school is making a lot of money! β
"Then since so many people are watching the game, then we have to perform even better!" Sarid smiled slightly, "We want more people to know who is the hegemon of the Pacific Division, who is the strongest college team in the Pacific!" β
At this time, Coach Chris called the UCLA crowd......
"Boys, the game is going to start in a while, and you've seen it, with such a big formation, 120% attendance, I don't want to disappoint the fans, so you give me the best form!"
The crowd nodded.
"Focus on Sivir and Edik, lock them both up, and we have a chance to win! Come on! β
β¦β¦
The warm-up is over and the game is about to begin......
When the players were introduced, something happened, under normal circumstances, when the players from the University of Oregon were introduced, the whole stadium would be booed, but this time, there was a lot of cheers mixed in the boos.
This made Meng Xiaohao feel a little surprised, he looked at the audience sitting in the audience, and found that there were many fans wearing University of Oregon team uniforms, and it seemed that many University of Oregon fans came to watch the game.
At the end of the player introduction, the starting players of both teams walked onto the field, and Meng Xiaohao and the away players all high-fived one by one.
This is Meng Xiaohao's return from injury, every game before the game, whether away or home, he will high-five his opponent to show respect.
The players from both sides took their positions, with Sarid and Edik in the centre circle.
The referee stepped forward and looked at Sarid and Eddie, both of whom nodded and signaled that it was okay. The referee nodded and threw the ball upwards......
Sarid got the ball and gave it to Sabonis, and as Sabonis received the ball, the referee's whistle also remembered and the game officially began......
Sabonis passed the ball to Meng Xiaohao, who took the ball to the front court.
Meng Xiaohao observed his current position and found that the people at the University of Oregon blocked Meng Xiaohao's passing route very tightly, and Meng Xiaohao's passing was obviously an unwise choice.
Seeing that Meng Xiaohao did not hesitate at all, he directly accelerated his speed, and then changed direction in a wide range of crosses, passing the defenders in one step.
As soon as he started, Meng Xiaohao showed excellent form.
After breaking through the defenders, Meng Xiaohao went straight to the inside, but Edik's defense was very fast and immediately came to Meng Xiaohao.
Meng Xiaohao did not have any panic, and directly chose to pass the ball to Sured.
But at the moment when Sarid received the ball, Edik arrived and made up the defense at an unexpected speed, which surprised Sarid.
Seeing that Meng Xiaohao frowned, he immediately ran behind Sured, but the defenders were very close.
Sarid saw Meng Xiaohao walking around beside him, knew Meng Xiaohao's intentions, and directly passed the ball to Meng Xiaohao with a back of his head.
After Meng Xiaohao received the ball, he immediately turned around and made a difficult backward jump shot against the defender......
"Huh!"
Respond to the network!
Meng Xiaohao took the lead in getting a good start for UCLA, and Meng Xiaohao's condition was very good at the beginning.
Meng Xiaohao looked at his hand and smiled slightly......
"Come on, University of Oregon, show you how good we are!"
