Chapter Twenty-Seven: Lin Mu's First Battle, Feud Southern California!

'The man who came changed everything, he made us more efficient, and his defence always limited the most aggressive players in attack.

'We made up for our lack of height, we had a more balanced squad, everyone had good chemistry and they were able to play the most fluid attack on the pitch.

"Of course, Lin Mu's role is not only on the court, you can't believe how hard he works in his daily training, and it is this hard work that inspires the fighting spirit of all the players, they become harder, and they will consciously stay and practice every night, Lefu is no longer as unscrupulous as before, Wei Shao has become stronger, Bamot is more like an evolution on the defensive end, and he is extremely efficient!"

"Even Darren Collisson, the diminutive starting guard, did his best to defend and not just focus on the offensive end."

Many years later, when Lin Mu became famous and famous in the world, UCLA head coach Ben Holland once again recalled the scene of coaching Lin Mu back then, which was a profound memory that will never be forgotten for a lifetime, and it was here that Lin Mu embarked on his first step towards the top!

...

Turn the clock back to the present!

The arrival of Lin Mu is tantamount to raising the overall strength of the team to a higher level, not only Ben Holland and other coaches, but also the players are clear about the same as Spiegel.

Because the chance to win the championship is here!

In order to prepare for the NCAA regular season that starts in November, the UCLA Bruins must develop a strict team plan for the next two months, and every team must strictly adhere to it, and basketball will be their only pastime besides academics!

It's going to be a painful journey, and on days when there is no competition, everyone has to work hard to train themselves, day and night, race against time, and be sure to try to be in the best physical condition before the competition!

There are too many examples of players in the league who are not self-disciplined and get lucky in the off-season, and the sudden increase in the intensity of the confrontation is very prone to injuries when the body is not adapting.

This is a problem that the UCLA Bruins who are aiming for the championship should try to avoid!

Just when Ben Holland was worried about the training intensity of the players, Lin Mu's appearance made everyone full of enthusiasm!

"Lin, do you want to continue training?" Wei Shao looked at Lin Mu with some surprise, he could hardly imagine how Lin Mu, who had been practicing until 12 o'clock in the evening every day for a week, maintained his full physical strength.

Not only him, but also Lefu and other main forces were also very puzzled.

Wouldn't this person be tired?

"This is where it is!"

"If you want to become the top player, if you can't even endure this little hardship, what dreams and extravagant hopes can you talk about!"

"Sometimes, if you don't push yourself, you never know where your limits are!"

Looking at Lin Mu, who was sweating like rain on the basketball court, the exhausted Wei Shao silently put down his small schoolbag.

People who are stronger than me work harder than me, what qualifications do I have not to work hard?

Willing to cut all his body, dare to pull the general off the horse!

(•́へ•́╬)!

He's meowing, Lao Tzu is out!

Wei Shao was the first player to join Lin Mu's masochistic training, and one after another, Kevin Love, Bamot, and even Darren Collison joined in.

Watching others get stronger and stronger, a sense of urgency arises in everyone's heart.

At this moment, the environment in which you are located can greatly affect people's efforts, when the people around you are salty, just boring to brush their mobile phones every day, watching short videos, you will unconsciously join in and become a member of the decadent army.

On the contrary, if you are surrounded by competition and hard work, when you sleep, you will subconsciously think: Am I working as hard as they are today?

Walking is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!

When there are several boats upstream against the water, and the terrifying river monsters are behind you, if you don't push forward, you will be swallowed by the water monsters!

It may be an exaggeration, but in the eyes of the players of the UCLA Bruins, they are now in such adversity!

And that river monster is none other than Lin Mu himself!

On Nov. 7, two days before the first NCAA tournament, Los Angeles was already feeling chilly in its Mediterranean climate.

When everyone in the Bruins team is liberated from exhausting training, Wei Shao just wants to take a good rest, then go back to take a refreshing hot bath, and then get into the warm quilt and sleep beautifully!

Two months have passed since Lin Mu's arrival, and in the past two months, under the stimulation of Lin Mu, everyone in the Brown Bear team has made full progress!

Three days, be impressed!

The possibilities for young people are limitless, and no one knows where their limits are, and Ben Holland has fully understood the meaning of this phrase in these two months.

The strength has improved so fast!

Yes!

Everyone's strength has grown so much that Ben Holland struggles with tactics.

"I never thought that one day, I would be able to fight such a rich battle!"

Looking at the information on the desk that the team's analysts had sorted out overnight, Ben Holland shook his head helplessly.

A gap appeared in the corner, and one of the pages was Lin Mu's statistics in the past two months.

Name: Lin Mu

Age: 18 years old

Height: 2.03 meters, Reach: 2.20 meters, Weight: 100 kg.

Defensive: Extremely good, with top defensive awareness, excellent physical confrontation, and good ability to protect rebounds.

Offensive end: Solid basic skills, good offensive skills, but the shooting rate is not high, and the efficiency needs to be improved.

Comprehensive evaluation: strong potential, hard training, strong competitiveness on the court!

The evaluation given by the team is extremely impressive, and Lin Mu's strong offensive characteristics are also seen by Ben Holland.

But as the player with the highest defensive efficiency on the field, Lin Mu's tactical status in the team is still very high.

From Kobe Bryant's training camp to the UCLA Bruins, Lin Mu has grown 5 centimeters taller in 5 months, and his arm span has increased accordingly.

This is extremely normal for 18-year-old boys, who are in their developmental period with infinite possibilities, and the terrifying Greek monster in the future will only be a short and thin player in his first year in the league.

Not only that, Lin Mu's weight has increased by 15 kilograms!

The rapid rise in weight will inevitably bring Lai's physical discomfort, but for Lin Mu, a training madman, all this seems to be a matter of course, and it has not affected himself at all because of the sudden change in weight.

Stronger, faster!

Not only that, what makes Lin Mu happiest is the establishment of a personal relationship with Wei Shao and Lefu!

"New Character Relationship Template: Russell Westbrook!"

"Current Relationship Figure: Russell Westbrook (70/100)"

"Character Relationship Template Building Elements: [Westbrook - Lightning Speed]!"

Westbrook - Swift Speed: Current proficiency is 60%.

Effect: Slightly increases the host's personal speed between offensive and defensive transitions.

...

"New Character Relationship Template: Kevin Love!"

"Current Relationship Figure: Kevin Love (72/100)"

"Elements of Character Relationship Template Building: [Lefou-Rebounding Monster]!"

[Lefou-Rebound Monster]: The current proficiency level is 60%.

Effect: Slightly increased the success rate of the host's rebound scramble.

To improve the friendship of the characters very quickly, Wei Shao and Lefu have regarded Lin Mu as a very good friend, and usually share some resources selflessly, in order to show the unbreakable relationship between the three.

This is only 70 friendship degrees, Lin Mu inexplicably has some expectations, when the friendship degree reaches 100, what will happen.

In addition, the daily training of the three of them and the improvement of skill proficiency also surprised Lin Mu.

Once the proficiency reaches 60%, the system will trigger the skill effects of different character bonuses, thus increasing the host's personal strength.

If PY players can reach 100% skill proficiency in the future, will Lin Mu become the most powerful existence in the history of the NBA league?

Combining everyone's strengths and fusing into his own powerful heritage, he swore that even if the god of basketball came, he would have to kneel down and call Dad!

"There is a long way to go, if you want to become such an existence, you still can't leave behind in training!"

With a sigh, Lin Mu decided to practice shooting for two more hours today!

...

November 9th!

In the evening of Los Angeles local time, when students are haggard after a busy day of schoolwork, the best way to relax is to watch a hearty basketball game in their own stadium!

In the first game of the UCLA Bruins, they faced their local rivals: the USC (Southern California) Trojan Horse!

As two of the top 10 universities in the Pacific, UCLA and USC are no bigger than Tsinghua University and Peking University in China.

The history of the entanglement between these two prestigious schools in Los Angeles can be traced back to the 1941 football game!

American football is the most popular sport in the United States, and it was highly regarded among colleges and universities at the time, and since UCLA and USC are located in Los Angeles, California, the two teams often meet each other.

UCLA, who wears blue jerseys, and USC, who wears red jerseys, not only fight the court, but also frequently spark off the court.

During the UCLA Open, six USC students sneaked into UCLA, used a truck to steal UCLA's "Victory Bell" unknowingly, and hid it for a year.

The "Victory Bell" is a clock on the locomotive of the South Pacific Railroad that was originally loaded with a gift to all UCLA students in 1939 on behalf of the alumni association. When the UCLA bear reaches the point, the UCLA cheerleader rings the bell, so the bell is also considered the spiritual symbol of the UCLA varsity team.

It is said that at that time, there were various places such as basements and haystacks where the clock was hidden, and every time the UCLA people searched for it, it was in vain. It wasn't until 1942 that when the photo of the Victory Bell was published in USC magazine "The Wampus", it caused an uproar in UCLA, where UCLA students spray-painted the bronze statue of Tommy Trojan at USC, and USC students were not to be outdone by burning the USC abbreviation on the UCLA turf, so that the police had to warn several times!

In the end, it was with the mediation of the USC principal that the students of the two schools stopped.

In terms of sports, the competition is not only in rugby, but also in tennis, basketball and various sports events, and at the same time, the two sides are not soft on each other.

Under all kinds of grievances, tonight's competition between the UCLA Bruins and the USC Trojan Horse team has become the focus of attention of all teachers and students in the school!

A large number of students had already gathered outside the Poly Arena, UCLA's home stadium, holding up their battle cards and proclaiming their anger against USC!

"Go back to your Memorial Gym! You are not welcome at Poly Arena! ”

"A cowardly thief, a shameless person who only steals chickens and dogs!"

"There is only one basketball school in Los Angeles, and that is the UCLA Bruins!"

Such "support" abounds, and the advantage of playing at home is that there are enough spectators and enough support.

But!

The final victory does not depend on this, but on the performance of the players on both sides on the pitch!

In the locker room of the Poly Arena, Ben Holland is facing all the players with a serious face.

"Tonight's opponent: USC Trojan!"

"They're a veteran NCAA powerhouse just like us, and they're also our UCLA rivals!"

"Rivals in the same city, these four words don't need me to repeat, although this is only a regular season, but the intensity of the confrontation will definitely not be weaker than that of March Madness."

"I want you to get up to 12 points, it's our first game, we have to win beautifully, we have to win the good!"

"There is no room for loss in the showdown with USC!"

"Tell us who will be the victor in the end!" Ben Holland roared loudly, and the players' emotions were instantly mobilized.

“UCLA!”

At this moment, the dressing room is full of desire, it is the player's pursuit of victory!

Lin Mu sat at the end of everyone, and his mood was also very excited.

The first major league game after rebirth, and the first NCAA game in the United States, was always accompanied by excitement and nervousness for the first time, and Lin Mu, who was a man of two lives, seemed a little trembling.

This is the purest love of basketball and the simplest pursuit of victory.

No matter who the opponent is, in the first battle after rebirth, Lin Mu must fight wonderfully and beautifully!

Looking at the list of opponents listed by the head coach, Lin Mu found the most familiar name among them.

DeMar DeRozan!

The kid who was repeatedly bullied by himself in Kobe Bryant's training camp, what kind of progress has he made in the more than two months after separation, Lin Mu has some expectations.

Whereas!

Not only this year's super newcomer DeRozan, but also the highly-anticipated two-way guard OJ Mayo and the interior titan Ty Gibson who will assist the young Ross in the future!

OJ Mayo at the No. 2 position, DeMar DeRozan at small forward and Ty Gibson at the power forward position.

This Southern California team is menacing, and they want to set off a bloody storm at Poly Arena!

The war between the two sides, under the spread of war, is about to break out!

PS: I hope you will vote for more recommended votes and monthly passes, this book will always be written, and it will definitely explode after it is put on the shelves!
