The competition begins.

The rules of the NCAA competition are adopted, which are divided into two halves of 20 minutes each, with a single attack time of 35 seconds.

First, there was a jump ball. Lamb and Latvis-Vail jumped the ball. He was a little taller than Latvis, but he was not able to touch the ball first. Latvis slapped the ball into the backcourt and landed on the banker.

Zhuang Yu took the ball in Yu's hands and advanced quickly.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Zhuang Yu habitually observed the situation on the court. Before he could make any further moves, Shabazz Mohammed ran over: "Ball."

Zhuang Yu frowned slightly, not because Mohammed came to ask for the ball, but because of the opponent's attitude, which looked bossy.

Knowing that you are the number one high school student in your entire high school, there is no need for this attitude, right?

After just a moment of hesitation, Mohammed became impatient and shouted angrily at Zhuang Yu: "I asked you to pass the ball, didn't you hear?"

Zhuang Yu also became angry and ignored Mohammed. Instead, he passed the ball to Latvis in the low post, then pulled away and moved to the left corner beyond the three-point line.

This made Mohammad very unhappy and his face dropped. He didn't like Zhuang Yu in the first place, but now he was even more disgusted.

"Hmph." Mohammed snorted, ran to Latvis, and asked Latvis for the ball, "Hey, brother, I'm here."

He may not even realize that his attitude has changed 180 degrees compared to when he asked for the ball just now.

But Zhuang Yu saw it clearly.

"Sure enough, even if you get into UCLA, it doesn't mean there's no more discrimination." Zhuang Yu shook his head, feeling no longer mentally disturbed.

I've long been used to it.

From the time I first came to the United States, I went to two high schools, one university, and later participated in a trial training at UCLA. I have been discriminated against many times.

During the summer vacation, Zhuang Yu participated in two training camps, where he also suffered discrimination and became accustomed to it.

angry?

Of course you are angry, but there is no need to affect your emotions. Just hide your anger in your heart and respond with strength.

After many experiences, Zhuang Yu has already summed up a set of insights. It is useless to say anything to this kind of people. He can only slap them with big ears - of course, not by fighting, but by using basketball to prove it.

Own.

It has to be said that to be the number one high school student in the United States, Muhammad is indeed very strong. After taking the ball, he took a tentative step, then suddenly accelerated, very fast, and passed Anderson by half a body in one step, and then rushed in.

He jumped up in the three-second zone, dodged in the air, and then scored the ball.

It was Anderson who was facing off against Mohammed, and Zhuang Yu knew Anderson's defensive ability. He was a little slower, but he was tall, had long arms, and had excellent defensive awareness.

Most people are not so easy to fight against Anderson.

"Good shot." Adams was the first to shout. He ran up to Mohammed and complimented: "This shot is really good." After saying that, he turned to Zhuang Yu and put on a flattering look.

His face reprimanded: "Next time I ask you to pass the ball, just pass it."

"Idiot." Zhuang Yu curled his lips and said in Chinese.

What's the meaning?

Adams was confused, and Mohammed frowned. He didn't understand either, but his instinctive feeling was that the words were not good.

If you don’t understand, forget it.

Adams withdrew his gaze, and while retreating, he flattered Mohammed and said, "Shabazz, I'll pass the ball to you later."

Mohammed nodded.

The opponent reached the ball, and the one who controlled the ball was the "Second Generation Star" Drew II. He was stout and had very good ball-handling skills. After arriving in the frontcourt, he faced Zhuang Yu and just glanced at Zhuang Yu lightly.

Dribbling with one hand and directing teammates' movements with one hand.

Zhuang Yu lowered his center, observed Drew II, and tried to get the ball, but failed. He immediately knew that the opponent's basic skills were very good and it was almost impossible to get the ball, so he decisively gave up the steal and stepped back a little.

Seeing Zhuang Yu's actions, Drew II became interested. He waved his hand at the teammate who came to pick and roll, indicating not to come over yet, but to dribble faster, dribbling under the crotch, swinging his left shoulder, and moving his center of gravity.

Tilt left.

But this is just a fake move to break through to the left.

"Huh?"

The next moment, Drew II raised his eyebrows and felt the difference. Zhuang Yu was not fooled and was not deceived by his fake moves.

"Have you been seen through?" Drew II was surprised, but his movements did not stop, and he immediately changed direction and broke through.

This time it's not a fake move.

Zhuang Yu also moved immediately, shouting "so fast" in his heart, and immediately moved sideways, blocking his position first, preventing Drew II from jumping over in one step.

But the next moment, the two of them came into physical contact, and a strong force hit him. Zhuang Yu couldn't help but take a step back, and Drew II forced him past.

Drew II passed Zhuang Yu and then drove inside. However, he did not take the shot himself. Instead, he passed the ball outside and passed it to Joshua Smith.

Whoosh!

Smith hit a jumper.

While retreating, Drew II was examining Zhuang Yu: "Is it just a coincidence? Or is his defense really that good?"

Facing a freshman, he felt an inexplicable defensive pressure, which made Drew II very uncomfortable and curious at the same time.

This Chinese boy... seems to be a bit magical.

In the next few rounds, Zhuang Yu did not perform well on the offensive end. He only took one shot, a jump shot after a breakthrough, but he failed to hit it.

Facing unfamiliar opponents, he still needs to adapt.

On the other hand, Mohammed performed very well, breaking through the frame, shooting from the outside, cutting for layups... His scoring ability is indeed very good. Although Anderson has the advantage of height and wingspan, and his defensive awareness is also very good, but

It was still difficult to restrain Mohammed.

...

In the blink of an eye, seven minutes have passed in the first half.

The coach began to change players. Zhuang Yu and Adams were replaced and rested on the sidelines. After a few minutes, they were replaced again, and Mohammed was replaced.

In the past few minutes, although Mohammed did not show any signs of ostracizing Zhuang Yu, he did not cooperate with Zhuang Yu at all. Coupled with Adams being a loser, Zhuang Yu didn't get many opportunities. He only took 2 shots and scored.

One, in addition to 1 assist.

When he returned to the court, Zhuang Yu got more opportunities, but after a few minutes, he only made 2 of 5 shots and scored 4 points. However, he had two more assists and sent out 3 assists.

"2 of 5 shots, only 4 points, ha..."

During the intermission, Adams sneered at Zhuang Yu and said sarcastically: "Do you know the difference now? Compared with Shabazz, you are nothing."

"cao, you are trying to flatter someone who is superior, right? Are you a mad dog? Is this the end of the world?" Zhuang Yu angrily said, "You're sick."

"What did you say?" Adams still couldn't understand because Zhuang Yu spoke in Chinese, but this time even he knew without thinking that what Zhuang Yu said was definitely not a good thing.

"I said you were a fool." Zhuang Yu was not one to tolerate other people's faults. Anyway, his feud with Adams had already been forged long ago.

"You..." Adams was almost furious and pointed at Zhuang Yu, his fingers trembling.

Anderson immediately ran over and grabbed Zhuang Yu, worried that the two of them would really fight, which would be a lot of fun.

Zhuang Yu was pulled aside, patted Anderson on the chest, and said: "Don't worry, I won't fight with him. I finally got into UCLA, but if I get expelled for fighting on the first day, wouldn't I be a big fool?"

"Then you still stimulate him?"

"Oh, maybe he can't help but hit me."

"ah?"

"Ah what." Zhuang Yu said with a bad smile, "You think, if he strikes first and I don't fight back, will the school expel him?"

For a moment, Anderson felt that his CPU was a bit insufficient and might need to be upgraded. What was this guy talking about?

It seems, as if...he's like a trap for Adams!

Anderson thought about it seriously, shook his head and said: "If Adams strikes first, he will definitely be punished. It is unlikely that he will be expelled, unless the consequences are very serious, such as beating you seriously and requiring you to go to the hospital."

That's it...

Zhuang Yu felt a little regretful. He wanted to trick Adams, but he didn't want to go to the hospital. Killing the enemy and losing eight hundred to himself was not his style, and it was not cost-effective.

"What a pity." Zhuang Yu muttered, suddenly rolled his eyes, and lowered his voice and asked Anderson, "What if I hit him? If I don't hit him too hard, he shouldn't be expelled, right? By the way, this punishment is severe.

Not heavy?"

ah?

Anderson was stunned.

What kind of brain circuit is this? Zhuang Yu, how does your brain grow? Why do you have so many weird ideas?

Seeing Anderson's grimace and speechless expression, Zhuang Yu waved his hand: "Forget it, we are civilized people and don't fight."

Anderson breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "Just think of it this way and don't make any trouble. You have just joined the team and haven't entered the regular rotation yet. And if you make trouble, the school may revoke your scholarship."

As soon as he heard that the scholarship would be revoked, Zhuang Yu immediately said that he would never cause trouble, and he would not do it for the sake of Adams.

Just kidding, as far as tuition, fees, and accommodation fees at UCLA are concerned, if you don’t have a scholarship, you can’t even afford it by yourself.

Look at Adams again.

At this moment, he was standing in front of Muhammad, and he didn't know what he was saying to Muhammad. He had an expression of bitterness, hatred and grievance.

Zhuang Yu curled his lips: "This guy is good at hugging thighs. But I really admire him, he's so shameless. During the trial training, he still had an attitude of 'I am the boss', but now he kneels down and licks for others.

Become a younger brother."

Anderson was also very unsympathetic to Adams' behavior and muttered: "This guy must have heard the news."

"What news?"

"Oh, there is news that Coach Holland has decided to make Shabazz Muhammad the starting small forward, and he will also be the core of the team's tactics."

Zhuang Yu raised his eyebrows.

A freshman player serves as the starter and is also the core of the tactics. This is to promote Shabazz Mohammed as the team's ace player.
