Because of this, Coupard became so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear every day. He used his meager savings to buy a lot of sports newspapers and magazines related to him, and read them when he was free. During the time, he kept describing to them what he would do after he became a professional player, and made many wishes.

Stephen scoffed at this, directly beat him up, took him to the training ground, and told him that if he wanted to become a professional player, he had to train hard and perform well, and there were still many games to come. It can directly pull you from the cloud and bring you down again. If you don’t have a continuous good performance, you will be in the first round of the show or the lottery. Don’t even think about it. If the media praises you a few times in a game, you don’t know who you are. He even remembered that he had to buy a watch, a necklace, and a car first, and he even borrowed money from Stephen, promising to repay Stephen twice when he became a professional player.

After Stephen taught him a lesson, Kuppard calmed down a bit. He didn't have the slightest thought of resisting Stephen. When he was disobedient at the beginning, Stephen just picked him up and beat him up. After several times, Kuppard It was only when Pade became honest, so although he was a little dissatisfied, he continued to train very obediently. After Benjamin heard about this, he felt relieved, and Stephen was still there, otherwise Coupard would not have such a personality. People can manage it.

Coppard didn't listen much to Stephen's lesson, but Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt did. The two who were still a little impetuous also sank down and joined Coupard's training team. Stephen has his own training progress and cannot train with them yet. He is still training step by step according to the training outline that Punikatu gave him. After returning home, he still has to hit [-] balls.

I feel that my shooting has improved, but Stephen still doesn't have the confidence to shoot, because this is in an undefended state. If someone defends himself, can he still guarantee his current shooting percentage? This is difficult to grasp, because once Someone is defending. In order to break through the opponent's defense, Stephen will involuntarily increase his strength, so there will always be excessive strength.

The old year has passed and the new year has begun with a back-to-back road trip for USC, first to Pullman, Washington, to challenge Washington State there, and then to Seattle, against Washington. University, to avenge the blood hatred of the last loss, and then return to Los Angeles to face the only opponent UCLA that has not been met yet, and then return to the home court to continue to play against UCLA.

The road trip went very smoothly. First, they won Washington State University without bloodshed, and then against the University of Washington, although Brandon Roy once again caused a lot of trouble for the University of Southern California, but because Stephen has been in the game recently He has been studied in detail, so the defense is also very targeted, so Brandon Roy's performance is not as outstanding as last time, and Stephen feels that this guy is not as difficult to deal with as last time.

After the game, Brandon Roy took the initiative to find Stephen and asked Stephen with admiration, how did you do it? You defended me so well. It felt like the two of you had been training offensively and defensively. Stephen was naturally embarrassed. He said that he had been analyzing his offensive moves, and even watched his last game against UC Rockley. He had to say that after the last defeat, he had been thinking about how to change and improve himself, so this Only one game can achieve such good results.

Brandon Roy didn't think too much about it. He only made his mark this season. Naturally, he didn't think that Stephen, who was far away in Los Angeles, would pay so much attention to him, and would never forget it. Hearing what Stephen said, he felt that Stephen was different from his own personality. It's very similar, once you fail, you have to work hard to improve yourself, and then beat the opponent.

After returning to Los Angeles from Seattle, the team temporarily disbanded, because the next away game was different from other away games, and it was still in Los Angeles. It was said to be an away game, but in fact it was just a change of arena, and came to UCLA. The school’s home stadium, Polly Sports Center, is more famous than the home of the unknown Trojans, the Galen Center. In the basketball world, UCLA’s status is not comparable to that of the University of Southern California.

The glorious history of basketball, whether it is the famous UCLA tactics, or the John Wooden Award, or the recognition of the status of UCLA, at the same time, although the performance of UCLA in the past 20 years is not worthy of them The title of king, especially the year before last, did not even enter the top 64.

After learning from the pain, the school invited Ben Holland, who is famous for training weak teams. Under his strict management, the team had a certain improvement last season. They have regained the true nature of a strong team. Although they are not as eye-catching as the performance of the University of Southern California, they are not to be underestimated. Because of this performance and their consistent basketball atmosphere, the entire gymnasium is full of people wearing them. The supporters, although they are still in Los Angeles, are no different from away games in other places.

However, at the beginning of the game, the strengths of the two teams clearly showed their superiority and inferiority. Although the opponent's Jordan Farmar and Dion Thompson performed well, the insiders Ryan Hollins and Michael Fee Together, the two are not the opponent of Coupard alone.

Due to the outstanding strength of the opponent's perimeter group, Benjamin officially resorted to a lineup of one big and four small ones in this game. Aaron Afflalo, who was facing up against Stephen, was [-]-for-[-] from Stephen's defense. He had no choice but to replace him, but Josh Shipp, who was replaced, didn't hit it either, and was firmly restrained by Stephen. He only scored three points through free throws in the half game, and Afflalo, who re-entered the field, faced There is still no good way to defend Stephen, so he has to try his best to shoot from outside the three-point line, and the hit rate can be imagined.

Although the USC Trojans didn't perform well on the outside, Coupard's inside play was very popular. Coupled with Stephen's defense of the opponent's outside, the combination of one inside and one outside finally led to a victory without any danger. won the game.

Returning to their own home court, the Southern California Lotts are even less likely to let go of their opponents. Since the two teams are rivals, although the main grievance is in football, as long as they can beat those guys, it doesn't matter what kind of ball they are , So after returning to the home court, the basketball team received a great welcome. The entire Galen Sports Center was full, and there was no empty seat.

Amidst the enthusiastic shouts and screams of the audience, the basketball team took down the opponent with great joy. In the whole game, the opponent never let the opponent close the score to within five points, let alone take the lead. The team that has been pressing down on the old enemy has been playing, and more and more spectators stood up and shouted loudly.

Unfortunately, the UCLA players have been unwilling to give up their rivalry. For this side, they are old enemies, so for them, they are also old enemies, not to mention that they have always been superior before, and now they have suddenly changed. , The loss of that sense of honor makes them unwilling to accept the fate of failure. Unfortunately, the strength gap between the two sides is obviously too large, no matter how much they burn their fighting spirit, it will not help, because the opponent is also high-spirited.

After the game, the team won the support of the school's top management again. In addition to appropriating a sum of reward funds, they also bought a batch of training equipment for the basketball team. Of course, these are what the basketball team deserves, and college basketball games are also Those who have commercial income such as broadcasting rights, as the team's performance gets better and better, the various incomes are also increasing. Although it is not as good as football and baseball, the income of the basketball team this year has exceeded the income of last year. income.

The regular season is only halfway through, and the regional championship has not yet been played. Although last year's regional championship was eliminated after only two games, the two games have already accounted for half of the total revenue. The game is only halfway through, and it surpassed last year. You can imagine how hot the USC Trojans basketball team is now.

Following the last loss to the University of Washington, the University of Southern California has achieved eight consecutive victories, and this eight-game winning streak includes the current strong teams of the University of Arizona, as well as veteran strong teams such as the University of Washington and the University of California, Los Angeles. It can be said that the gold content of this wave of consecutive victories cannot be doubted.

However, the winning streak did not stop here. Following the eight-game winning streak, the USC Trojans won all the games against Oregon State University, University of Oregon, and Stanford University at home. This is the No.11 winning streak. , There are only two away games left in the entire regular season.

The opponents of the University of Southern California now hope that in the last game, the University of Arizona, which is playing at home, can cause a little trouble for the University of Southern California. After all, there was an accident last time, and the Trojans of Southern California won the game. It's hard to say who will win.

But it is a pity that everyone was disappointed. The University of Arizona Wildcats did not cause any trouble to the USC Trojans. With the fruit of failure, the regular season ended here. The USC Trojans ranked first in the record list with [-] wins and [-] loss, and became the No. [-] seed in the divisional championship.

Like the Round of 64, the conference tournament is single-elimination. As the No. [-] seed, the USC Trojans will face the No. [-] seed in the first round, which now looks likely to be Arizona State University.

After a week's rest, the battle was rekindled. They easily won the opponent in the first round, and the second round against the University of Oregon. Although the process was a bit tortuous, it was not too dangerous, and the result was still good.

In the division semifinals, against the University of Arizona, which had just defeated UCLA, although the opponent led into the intermission in the first half, Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt suddenly broke out in the second half , who frequently made three-pointers outside, quickly reversed the score and kept it to the end.

The most recent decisive battle was against the old rival University of Washington at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. To Stephen's surprise, Brandon Roy suddenly changed his offensive methods, breakthrough direction and cutting methods when facing his own defense It has changed a lot, and there are more pick-and-rolls at the same time. It is very different from their last game. It seems that this guy has been improving himself, but although he performed well personally, the strength of the team is not enough. The USC Trojans team, which is constantly evolving and improving, finally failed to end the divisional championship of the Pacific Ten Schools League. After 12 years, USC has justifiably entered the top 64 of the league.

First of all, let me explain that the slow pace is my inherent problem. I also want to give you a complete and realistic story as much as possible. As for a book friend who thinks that I have talked too much about freedom, competitive essays are not like competitive essays. As for the article, I can only say that I didn't have the habit of writing books according to the routine. I met some people at the beginning, then entered the NBA, and then started to kill the Quartet. I really can't write this kind of article.
