Chapter 40: Top Elite Schools, Powerful Insider Combo!

Stanford University, an American university that is even more terrifying than UCLA, is also one of the largest universities in the United States.

Stanford University, together with the University of California, Berkeley in San Francisco's North Bay, forms the academic center of the western United States, and is responsible for the operation and management of the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, the Hoover Institution, and other institutions.

According to statistics, up to now, a total of 84 Stanford University alumni, professors and researchers have won the Nobel Prize (seventh in the world), 29 have won the Turing Award (first in the world), and 8 have won the Fields Medal (seventh in the world).

Not only that, but Stanford University has also produced a number of public company leaders who are known around the world and are leaders in many industries.

These include founders of companies such as HP, Google, Yahoo, Nike, Logitech, Snapchat, Electronic Arts, Sun Micro, NVIDIA, Cisco and LinkedIn. In addition, Stanford's alumni include 30 wealthy entrepreneurs and 17 NASA astronauts, and it is one of the institutions of higher learning that produces the largest number of members of the U.S. Congress. According to the 2021 University Ultra-High-Net-Worth Alumni Rankings released by research firm Wealth-X, Stanford University ranks second, behind Harvard University.

In addition, there are countless famous figures at Stanford University, and Chinese people are familiar with the Chinese-American singer Fei Xiang, who is the singer who sang a fire in winter and became a smash hit in the Spring Festival Gala.

Tiger Woods, the most famous legend in golf history, is also a graduate of Stanford University, this kid can be described as a winner in life, in a car accident on November 28, 2009, in just a few weeks, as many as a dozen lovers team, a public outcry for a while.

You know, Woods married Swedish supermodel Erin Nordgreen in the Caribbean island country of Barbados in 2004.

Such a great school is the next competitor of UCLA, and the two top universities that belong to the same Pacific Ten University Alliance will face off in the Maple Leaf Pavilion, the home of Stanford University.

"The Wind of Freedom Blows Forever" (Die Luft der Freiheit weht)

Lin Mu came to the gate of Stanford, and a few large English letters attracted his attention.

Freedom and competition seem to be the campus culture that Stanford students attach great importance to, and for these students who graduate from top universities, as long as they are not involved in pornography, gambling and drugs, they have a great future.

"Every time I see these slogans, I feel a little." Wei Shao glanced at the motto of Staffordshire University with disdain, and after experiencing unbearable memories, his yearning for freedom was far less intense.

Earning a lot of money, living a rich life, and letting his family no longer worry about money is what Wei Shao is most willing to pursue.

"If there was freedom, then NBA players wouldn't be treated like commodity." Lefu also sighed, he was born in a famous family, and naturally knew how hard work needed to be put in behind the word freedom.

More often than not, people's pursuit of freedom often means compromise.

"People have to have faith, don't they?"

"Why do we train so hard? It's not about climbing to the top and becoming the strongest. ”

"What are we after?"

"Champion!"

"Whether it's the NCAA or the NBA, I want to be the winner." Lin Mu patted the two of them on the back and took the lead in entering the gate of Stanford University.

When you enter the university, you will be greeted by red-roofed buildings surrounded by earthy yellow stone walls, arcades and brown flails, which are full of strong cultural and academic atmosphere in the interplay of classical and modern.

Stanford's unique style of openness and inclusiveness, the pursuit of freedom of thought and freedom of heart, is vividly reflected in the shape of the building.

Walking past the Hoover Memorial, the Stanford Memorial Church, and the Rodin Sculpture Garden, all kinds of campus scenery are presented in front of you, coupled with the beautiful grassland scenery of youth, Lin Mu can be described as a feast for the eyes.

Walking and walking, the three of them came to their destination tonight, the Maple Leaf Arena in the beautiful scenery of Stanford's maple leaves.

One of the famous scenery of the school, the pale yellow architectural color, quiet and comfortable, coupled with the beautiful scenery of the Maple Leaf Season, the title of Maple Leaf Arena comes from this.

Three hours later, the UCLA Bruins will challenge Stanford University's Crimson team here, and the Crimson team, who are strong on the inside, will be ruthless before the game, they will build an iron wall, and the players who dare to break through the inside line will not come back!

The arrogant tone naturally caused displeasure among the Bruins, but it wasn't a joke for Stanford, who has a strong center.

In college, it was very difficult for a team to have a serious interior center, as strong as UCLA, which could only let the 2.08m Lefu guest center, while Stanford University had two tall centers over 2.10m.

The Lopez brothers, who are also well-known in the NBA, are now the core of Stanford University's interior and the league's highest-capped interior duo to date.

James Harden of Arizona State University also suffered in the game against Stanford University, because his breakthrough was difficult to play in front of the latter, and when he entered the paint field, two giants as huge as mountains were waiting quietly.

Before the game, Ben Holland looked extremely solemn, and the only threat to the Bruins in the entire Pacific Ten University League was Stanford University, which was run by the Lopez brothers.

In 2007, when the era of small ball had not yet taken shape, both the NCAA and the NBA league advocated interior offense rather than three-point shooting.

With plenty of cover breakaways, plenty of mid-range shots, it's hard to avoid oncoming blocks from the Lopez brothers with such close proximity to the paint.

The main thing is that the shooting level of the Bruins is just terrible.

Compared to their explosive physicality and gritty perimeter defense, shooting is perhaps the offense that the team lacks the most right now.

Darren Collison is extremely inconsistent in his shooting and is completely unreliable to be a reliable target.

Russell Westbrook, I don't need to go into details, everyone understands it. 、

Lin Mu, if this kid develops a stable shot, he will definitely be the biggest favorite of the champion!

Bamot is also known for his defensive role, and his role on the offensive end is often the last of the starters.

The starting five Tigers, the most consistent shooting may still be the interior pillar Kevin Love.

It's terrible, you can't let a center shoot like crazy in a mid-range position, right?

So who's going to grab the rebounds?

This must not be blasted into slag by the opposite side on the inside line?

For the sake of the team, Ben Holland made a bold attempt to put Darren Collison on the bench, and the team's only "sharpshooter", Josh Shippe, was the starter!

"This is the great land of freedom! The muddy UCLA Bruins welcome to Maple Leaf Arena! ”

"We are a symbol of freedom, and we will fight for the freedom in our hearts! Today, we're going to make UCLA come and go! ”

"Rush! Scarlet, you must be like the clouds in the sky, unbound by anyone! ”

Listening to the sound of support in his ears, Lin Mu unconsciously stretched out his thumb.

It is worthy of Stanford University, which has a profound cultural heritage, and the cheering and cheering are polite.

“FUCK-YOUR-MATHER!”

“HEI! I said I'll fuck you mother! ”

For this situation, Lin Mu usually raised his middle finger first, and then sprayed at them.

“What?” The Stanford fans at the scene were stunned.

What is the origin of this black-haired and eye-eyed Chinese man, who has such a violent personality?

Gan!

I'm grumpy!

“FUCK-YOUR-MATHER! TOO!! ”

"You're a bitch, I'm good for you!"

"! This stupid thing, do you really think it's on your home turf? ”

"Squirt him to death for me and make him a Splatoon!"

Listening to the filthy words in his ears, Lin Mu nodded with satisfaction.

TM is a vulgar person, so why bother pretending here?

What Lin Mu hates the most is this kind of intellectual who is extremely dirty in his bones but gentle and elegant on the surface.

Hypocrisy!

Perhaps neither of these words can describe their artificiality.

Looking at Lin Mu who was enjoying himself, the fans at the scene became more enthusiastic, if it weren't for the latter's muscles, they would have liked to go down and have a real PK.

Security guard?

In front of the people of Stanford, who yearn for freedom, they are just a dog that can be ignored at any time!

"Lin, you managed to provoke them." Wei Shao shrugged his shoulders from the side, not surprised by such a picture at all.

"It doesn't matter, sooner or later you'll have to be provoked." Lin Mu said indifferently.

It will be them who will take away the victory, and it will inevitably be resentful for the defeated side.

"Remember to help me on the inside line, it's too different on the other side!" Glancing at the Lopez brothers who were warming up, Lefu said with a face urn.

"Kevin Love! The most terrifying two pairs of machines, the future will play 30 + 30 horror men, you have to believe that you are invincible on the inside! ”

"It's just two tall centre-forwards who move slowly, and I don't believe you're going to be able to put them on the same footing." Lin Mu said confidently to Lefu.

“...”

Who wouldn't brag?

30+30?

You think I'm the ancient beast Chamberlain?

Lefu had a distrustful expression on his face, he hadn't realized how terrifying it would be for him to become a data brush in the Timberwolves!

On November 13, 2010, the Timberwolves hosted the Knicks, Kevin Love slashed 31 points and 31 rebounds, setting a new high in NBA career single-game scoring and rebounding, becoming the first player in NBA history since Moses Malone in 1982 to hand over a double 30 report card in a single game, and also the first person in the history of the Timberwolves to double 30 in a single game, 31 rebounds set a record in the history of the Timberwolves.

The 53-game double-double broke the Timberwolves' all-time record and was the longest since 1973-74 when Elvin Hayes (55 consecutive double-doubles).

During his time with the Timberwolves, Love broke the team's all-time record many times, and you must know that Kevin Garnett, the top three forwards in history, could not do such a feat as Lefou.

If Love had been physically stronger and less troubled by injuries in his career, he and the Cavaliers would have achieved more than just a championship.

"Train Lefu into a steely power forward player, make up for your weaknesses, and become a stronger player in the NBA!" Lin Mu's idea is very simple, that is, to help Lefu train frantically, so that he can have a stronger body, so as to reduce the problem of injuries to him.

Brothers basketball should make progress together!

I, Lin Mu, are not for friendship and skill proficiency!

A whistle blows, and the game begins!

Da Lopez (Brook Lopez) successfully jumped the ball and helped the team win the first wave of offensive possession!

It's strange to say, it's the same height and the same looks, why is there a big difference in ball skills?

Compared with his brother Robin, both rebounds and scoring are a big step behind.

When Lopez Jr. became the main center in the Bucks and helped the team win the championship, Lopez Jr. could only play as a role player in the Wizards.

When the team has two 2.13m inside center forwards, playing inside is the best choice.

While it will slow the team's tempo, the 35-second offensive time will have plenty of room for the Lopez brothers to get a single chance inside.

Crimson coach Trent Johnson developed an offensive strategy specifically for the Lopez brothers, point guard Mitch Johnson handed the ball to Da Lo, and the rest of his teammates pulled away completely, and Lo Jr. was ready to grab the board on the other side of the paint area, and once his brother's offense failed, he would rush to grab the rebound as soon as possible.

Lefu and Da Luo, who have almost the same weight, started a hand-to-hand battle in the first round, and Da Luo was very surprised by Lefu's confrontation power, and it was obviously very difficult to rely on strength and weight to attack.

Da Luo, who has a certain projection ability, can shoot at close range unscrupulously when facing Lefu, who is 5 cm shorter than him.

There was hardly any feints, Da Luo raised the ball high, his heel 5 cm off the ground, and threw the ball out of his hand with great confidence.

However!

What was waiting for him was not the sound of the basketball brushing the basket into the net, but the crisp sound of the basketball coming into contact with his hand and being covered!

I don't know when, Lin Mu had already touched Da Luo's side, and at the moment when the slow motion began, the latter jumped high and flew Da Luo's shooting fan to the audience.

"A congratulatory gift to you, I hope you don't dislike it!" With a smile on his face, Lin Mu said sincerely to the fans at the scene.

Provocative moves, at a glance!

"Oops, I'm grumpy!" The fans who were hit were about to rush up and beat Lin Mu violently, but fortunately, the friend next to him grabbed him, which saved him from the pain of flesh and skin.

"Silly big man, your shot is too slow, in my eyes, it's like 0.5 times slow motion."

After taunting the fans, then ridiculing the opponent players, today's Lin Mu's offensive attributes are full!

The Lopez brothers do have excellent rim protection ability, but it is clear that their attainments on the offensive end are not high, and Da Luo is still like this, and Xiao Luo is even more unbearable!

Whereas!

The test of UCLA is not the performance on the defensive end, how to crack the opposite double tower combination on the offensive end will become the most critical winner of this game!
