In the entire history of NCAA men's basketball, UCLA is a name that cannot be avoided.

Because this university has won eleven championships so far, which is more championships than North Carolina, Duke, Connecticut... than any famous basketball school in the United States!

The NCAA championship is undoubtedly a huge addition to a university.

You can't say that the Celtics are the best team in NBA history. Even though they have the most championships, you still can't say that.

But you can say that UCAA is the best basketball school in history!

This will be supported by a lot of fans.

Even if the fans of North Carolina and Duke University want to refute, they can easily shut up these guys with just one sentence: "Your two universities combined have not won as many championships as UCLA"!

Competitive sports are "champion only", and this is most vividly reflected in the NCAA.

And UCLA's historical status also makes it extremely easy for them to recruit new recruits every year. Take the past two years as an example, so many super newcomers have emerged, and UCLA's benefits have been thoroughly reflected. Kevin Love and

Russell Westbrook was recruited by them one after another, and if Arizona State University did not have James Harden's high school mentor, he might eventually enter UCLA.

In the end, Kevin Love became the No. 5 pick in this June's draft, and Russell Westbrook became the No. 4 pick in the first round of the 2008 draft!

They have both played their own value in UCLA's system, and neither of them has been affected by the other party's performance.

Moreover, even if these two core players announced their participation in the draft at the same time this summer, UCLA's strength has not been affected. They successfully acquired a very strong freshman Jrue Holiday in the summer.

Darren Collison, who played at UCLA for three years and was in the lottery every year but never participated in the draft, has formed what can be said to be the most powerful backcourt combination in the entire NCAA!

So far, UCLA is also 15-0.

UCLA is still strong!

This is really something that few teams can do!

Connecticut, which has a glorious history, also needs its head coach to say "I want you to stay" to its ace players this year in order to continue to remain competitive.

And UCLA can still maintain their strength in the Pac-12 Conference by letting go of two of their team's aces!

No wonder they have won 11 championship trophies!

…

It is also because both sides are very strong that this game attracted a lot of attention. Not only the Arizona TV station broadcast the game, but also ESPN, "Sports Illustrated", "Bleachers" and many other well-known sports.

The media sent reporters to the scene.

It can be said that this is a game that represents the highest competitiveness of this year's Pac-12 League. The winning team is likely to be the final champion of this year's Pac-12 League Finals and the seed team that will directly enter the national competition.

Only the team!

"Wow, it's so lively today!"

Rachel and Charles once again came to the arena of Arizona State University. Today the Sun Devils and UCLA met at the home court of Arizona State University.

Compared to the last time, there are many more cameras on the sidelines of this game!

This is a sign that many colleagues are here.

This is also a sign that this game has attracted much attention!

"Today is not just lively. I heard that Sam Presti, the general manager of the Thunder, is also here. In addition, the deputy general manager of the Golden State Warriors is also here, and others such as scouts, etc.

There are even more coming, this is not only a game that we are paying attention to, but also a game that the entire NBA general managers are paying attention to!"

Charles once again told Rachel the information he had obtained.

Rachel nodded vaguely again, not listening to a word, her eyes completely focused on the warming up The Sun.

Charles:……

This guy!

…

"What we have to do is give this team our first defeat of the season!"

"We want everyone to know how strong we are this year!"

"No team in the Pac-12 can hold us back!"

"Let's do it once!"

"The time to seize class and power is now!"

It is also because of the high attention of this game that Sandek specially called the Sun Devils guys in front of him before the game started and encouraged him loudly!

Amid the cheers of the audience, these words also inspired these guys. Their eyes were full of desire to fight, just like a pack of wolves preparing to hunt.

The continuous winning streak has obviously changed the team culture of the Sun Devils. Now they are like a keg of dynamite, ready to explode at the drop of a hat!

Their self-confidence has reached an unprecedented height...

There is no way, when you can win one game after another, you really won't think about the strength or weakness of your opponent, but you will only think that as long as we can perform normally, we will definitely win!

Otherwise, why would Invincible be so lonely?

"Jules Holiday is an aggressive guard. His first reaction after getting the ball is often to attack the basket. He is not good at shooting. I hope you can let him shoot more in this game.

…”

"Darren Collison is an extremely experienced veteran. He has been a favorite in the lottery for the past three years. Although I don't know why he chose to finish college, this guy also became a lottery pick in his four years at UCLA.

The soul of the team, he has great ability to read defenses, and commanding counterattacks is his strength. Therefore, once UCLA goes on a fast break, I hope you can stabilize the offense and don't let the rhythm of the offense fall into the hands of this guy.

In that case, it will be very difficult for us!"

Then Sandek introduced UCLA's ace players. After Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook left, UCLA's current ace core is their "backcourt double gun" Darren Collison and Zhu

Holiday.

Compared with Jrue Holiday, it is not difficult to tell from Sandak's introduction that the guy he is really afraid of on the UCLA team is Darren Collison.

Although Jrue Holiday has a better draft prospect than Darren Collison, but not talking about the future, just talking about this NCAA season, Darren Collison is one of the best guys in the league. He is just like North Carolina.

Tyler Hansbrough is an NCAA superstar!

It's not that their abilities are outstanding, but that they have been playing in this league for too long! They are familiar with every one of their teammates and are very accustomed to the NCAA's playing rhythm. These two points alone are enough to make them...

These two guys have become very threatening.

What's more, these two guys are not weak themselves!

That would be even scarier!

Anyway, most of Sandaker's tactics tonight are aimed at Darren Collison. In terms of threat level, Jrue Holiday is just a sharp knife. As long as the shield is thick enough, this sharp knife will be powerful no matter how it stabs.

Limited, Darren Collison is the engine of UCLA's battleship. If this guy shows his sense, then the Sun Devils will face UCLA's thousands of troops tonight!

"beep!"

The whistle signals the start of the game.

Lin Ri grabbed the first offensive right for the Sun Devils in this exciting game.

Harden carries the ball to the frontcourt, and he faces the defense of Jrue Holiday. Jrue Holiday, who is very flexible with both hands, is a great threat on the defensive end. He can directly reach out to interfere from any angle.

This caused Harden to encounter unexpected obstacles when dribbling.

He is left-handed, and he is the only one who usually makes defenders uncomfortable.

It's rare that a defender makes him uncomfortable.

But Harden was also very patient. He began to try changes in dribbling rhythm, but unfortunately Jrue Holiday didn't falter at all.

This guy's defense is really good!

Sandek gritted his teeth.

He only knew that Jrue Holiday's defensive ability was good, but because he had Harden in hand, he didn't pay too much attention to the fact that this guy defended well.

He really didn't expect that this guy's defense could be so good...

Lin Ri directly stepped forward to set a pick-and-roll for James Harden at this time. Jrue Holiday is a young man and has very good single defense ability, but his reaction in helping to defend the pick-and-roll was a bit slow until he hit him.

When he was in Linri, he discovered that there was a "human wall" around him.

Jrue Holiday is quarantined.

UCLA's cover defense was timely, but unfortunately the guy behind it couldn't keep up with James Harden's offensive rhythm, and was deceived by him.

"Boom!"

James Harden succeeded in attacking the frame.

There was a huge cheer at the scene.

The first goal was scored smoothly, but James Harden didn't have a smile on his face. The first round of the game was much more difficult than he imagined.

UCLA…

It’s really a tough battle!

Darren Collison carried the ball to the frontcourt. After observing the entire situation, he gave the ball to Jrue Holiday.

James Harden's eyes became much sharper at this moment. Jrue Holiday had guarded him for so long just now, so of course he had to respond.
