On the game day between the two teams, on the way to the arena in the car, Lu Feng and Jeff Brown were sitting in the back row chatting.

"Lark, do you think we can win today?"

"I think it's okay!"

"But...LMU has Kim Bell and Gaithers. I'm wondering if Coach Lynn is too hasty?"

Lu Feng doesn't know whether Lynn Nance is too impatient, but personally, he thinks LMU is a good choice.

For Lu Feng, the game against LMU can help him judge the level of the Huskies team and give him an estimate of this year's team's performance.

Originally, he was very unfamiliar with the NCAA in the 1989-1990 season. In the previous four games, including UCLA, he didn't know many of the opponents' players. He didn't know the strong players in the NCAA this year, nor did he know the NCAA this year.

What are the strong teams?

At least in his opinion, UCLA this year is not very strong.

But the past half month reminded him of what year this was, and the memory of this year's NCAA began to awaken in his mind.

What made him remember was nothing but the overwhelming reports about LMU.

The player Hank Gathers mentioned in the report is the key to reviving his memory.

Hank Gathers, one of the most regrettable geniuses mentioned in various reports in the original world.

In the original world, Gaithers' death would still be mentioned countless times even after 20 or 30 years.

Hank Gathers suffered from a heart disease, but he believed that the drowsiness caused by taking heart disease medication would affect his performance on the court, so he secretly stopped taking the medication and eventually collapsed during an NCAA game.

It became one of the biggest tragedies in NCAA history.

Lu Feng is sure that this is the season when the tragedy occurs, because Hank Gathers is a senior, and this season will be his last NCAA season no matter what.

Lu Feng knew Gaithers' story in his previous life, but what Lu Feng cared about more was his teammate Birkin Bell.

In the original world, Birkin Bell averaged a terrifying 35 points per game in the 1989-1990 season, which impressed Lu Feng deeply.

He still remembered that after Gathers passed away, Birkin Bell led the team alone and not only won the WCC division championship, but also reached the NCAA Elite Eight.

After the start of March Madness, Bergin Bell played 4 games, 2 games with 40 points and 3 games with 30 points. None of them scored less than 20 points. In the game with the lowest score of 20 points, LMU only scored 62 points in the defensive battle.

That’s all.

This year's LMU, led by Birkin Bell alone, lost to the champion UCLV, which was completely earned by Birkin Bell's hard work.

Are you curious that such a player did not become famous later?

Because in the last game of March Madness against that year's champion UCLV, he foolishly blocked the game, scored 42 points, and still lost the game.

After the death of Hank Gathers, Birkin Bell went completely crazy and did whatever it took to win.

If he succeeds, it will be a beautiful fairy tale. Unfortunately, the final result is a tragedy. Gathers' willfulness not only destroyed himself, but also destroyed Birkin Bell.

Even though the Clippers were still willing to bet on him with the 8th pick in the first round even though he lost one of his feet, there was no doubt that this gamble ended in failure. Kimbell was really useless after playing the game.

.

After thinking of this, Lu Feng knew exactly what level of team LMU was this year.

There is no doubt that before Hank Gathers passed away, LMU was the strongest team in the NCAA this year!

Before Bergin Bell's blockade, he was the strongest player in the current NCAA!

"Jeff, it's true that LMU is very strong, maybe even the strongest one, but so what?"

"I came here, I came to this country, to play against the best players and beat them. For me, just making it to the March Madness tournament is not satisfying. Not in the first round, not in the third round."

The second round won’t work, and the third and fourth rounds won’t work either!”

After Lu Feng finished speaking, he turned around and found that everyone in the car was staring at him and replied: "Guys, what's the matter?"

The others were silent. Lynn Nance looked at the expressions of the people present, and then slowly said: "Luck is right, LMU is probably the strongest this year. They have Gathers, Jin, and Frey.

You..."

"But," Lynn Nance said firmly: "We also have Luck, we have ER, we have Jeff, Doug and Brent. Guys, we are not worse than them. It is true that LMU is very strong, but don't forget, we are also very strong.

!"

"Luck said that the first round of the NCAA cannot satisfy him, nor can it satisfy him in the second, third or even fourth rounds. LMU is not only an opponent in a registration game, it may also be our opponent in the NCAA, and it may be our opponent in the NCAA."

One round, maybe the second round, maybe the third, fourth... or even the sixth round opponent! Guys, show your confidence and play this game as the last one.

It’s not a game, it’s a war!”

The teammates on the bus were all frightened by Lin Nance's words. They thought Lu Feng was crazy enough, but Lin Nance was even crazier than Lu Feng!

That's right, LMU is not only the opponent of the Huskies in the registration game, but also the opponent of the Huskies in March Madness, and even... the opponent of the sixth round finals!

The Huskies were very happy after winning several games before, because they even beat UCLA!

But looking back now, Huskies seem... really strong?

After the winning streak, the mentality of the Huskies players has become a little looser. They feel that this year is stable. With Lu Feng and the others, it is no problem to enter the NCAA tournament. For a weak team like the Huskies, it is enough to enter the NCAA.

Very successful.

But now everyone realizes that this year, they are not as simple as just entering the NCAA.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The Huskies are now a strong team that can win against UCLA, so their goal this year should not be to enter the NCAA, but at least like UCLA, their goal this year is-the NCAA Finals!

After saying this, the bus became extremely quiet, and everyone's breathing could be heard.

The bus drove outside Huc Edmondson Arena and the players got off...

The road from the parking lot to the arena was full of reporters. Facing the questions from various reporters, Lu Feng did not greet them as actively as usual.

The memories on the road made him feel a little unhappy. Although he managed to put on a smile, most of his answers were perfunctory.

Until Lu Feng heard a different question: "Lu Feng, as the first Chinese to play in the NCAA, how do you feel... Lu Feng, can you answer, as...!"

The difference is that this time the question is in Chinese!

Lu Feng quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Director Zhang!"

The person who asked the question was Lu Feng’s acquaintance from his previous life, the famous commentator: Li Li Weiping Bryant Zhang!

Lu Feng was a little excited when he met an old friend in a foreign country, and he said hello to Zhang Weiping.

Zhang Weiping was wearing a suit, holding a notepad and a charcoal pen in his palm, without a microphone.

"Director Zhang, why are you here?"

"You know me?"

Zhang Weiping was a little surprised. He had retired for many years, and 16-year-old Lu Feng actually knew him.

Lu Feng smiled and replied: "Of course, how can anyone who plays in our country not know you? Then again, why are you here? My story has spread back to the country?"

In Lu Feng's previous life, Zhang Weiping was one of the most well-known sports commentators in China, but at this time he had not yet started his commentary career.

But in addition to commentary, Zhang Weiping is also one of the former national team players. After retiring in 1979, he also served as the national team coach for many years.

Zhang Weiping was a little happy to be praised, and he replied: "I am originally in the United States, Lu Feng, can I lend you some time for an interview?"

Lu Feng thought for a while and replied: "There is not enough time now. You wait for me to play first. After the game is over, I will accompany you to conduct an exclusive interview. By the way, do you have a ticket?"

“I came in a hurry and didn’t buy it.”

"Then wait, I'll get you one."

In the NCAA, a few unpopular games do not require tickets, but for popular matchups like today's Huskies vs. LMU, Herc Edmondson Arena has chosen to sell tickets for a fee.

However, just like the NBA, the arena gave some ticket quotas to the two teams. Lu Feng asked Lynn Nance and there was a remaining front row ticket, and Lu Feng gave it to Zhang Weiping.

After meeting Director Zhang, Lu Feng's depressed mood instantly improved and he put aside all the previous problems.

Who cares, just hit the ball well, don’t be embarrassed in front of your own people!

After a brief warm-up, 10 people from both teams took the field.

Lu Feng looked at LMU's lineup and then at his teammates.

Very good, there is no big man, obviously, this will be another offensive battle like UCLA.

The person in charge of LMU's jump ball is Hank Gathers, who is 201 centimeters tall. He is also the tallest player in LMU.

LMU, like UCLA, also plays a center-less lineup.

The reason is simple, LMU coach Paul Westhite’s coach is none other than UCLA coach Jim Harrick!

After Jeff Brown lost weight, he jumped higher and faster, but there is no doubt that he still cannot compare with talented forwards like Hank Gathers.

"Welcome to our live broadcast. This is NBC's live commentary of the 1989-1990 NCAA season, the Washington Huskies vs. LMU game..."

"Groom, the game has begun, do you still want to support Washington?"

"Of course, I believe in Kung Fu Boy Lu, he will definitely be able to solve LMU!"

"Hey man, if I understand you correctly, you're saying Lu is a better player than Gathers and Kimbell?"
