The corners of Alford's mouth turned up and he smiled.

"It's unity, mutual help, and trust."

"The UCLA Bruins are a family, and we allow members of the family to make mistakes."

“If families can’t tolerate their children, then where can they trust them?”

The reporter was completely confused by what Alford said.

I'm asking you how UCLA made adjustments so quickly. Are you talking about a big family?

"Zhang Jun, this is your second consecutive game to score high points. The team relies heavily on you, and you have also completed the tasks assigned to you by the team excellently."

"To be honest, we are already looking forward to the latest NCAA player rankings released by ESPN after the regular season. We all think that the 16th five-star college ranking in the United States is a bit low for you."

Zhang Jun shook his head and said: "I don't particularly care about this ranking, because I know that even if he is ranked first, it does not mean that he must be the best player in the NCAA, nor does it mean that he will definitely be selected by an NBA team as the number one pick in the future. ”

"I just complete the coach's arrangements, help the team win the game, and be the best version of myself."

Hearing Zhang Jun's almost flawless speech, the reporters present couldn't help but want to applaud him.

This speech was almost as if someone had specially publicized it. It was reasonable and compliant. The most important thing was that he praised his teammates, coaches and the team, and it also improved his own character.

No. 16 in the nation? Sorry everyone, I really haven't cared about it.

On the bus after the game.

Coach Alford said to everyone with a serious face: "Guys, starting from today we will fight for the ranking! Prepare for the upcoming league championship game."

"We must strive to become the No. 1 seed in the Parker Twelve League and compete as the strongest in home or stay games!"

The crowd roared!

"For the championship!"

"For UCLA!"

"For our youth!"

"For the girl!"

Everyone: "Huh?"

Bamot quickly smiled and said: "Sorry to do it again, for all our girls!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

........

The journey begins in February.

UCLA continues to advance vigorously. After suffering its first defeat of the season, they once again proved their strength and determination this season with a 5-game winning streak.

Zhang Jun scored 30+ points in 5 of 7 games and 40+ points in 1 game. He successfully surpassed Kevin Durant of the University of Texas and became the current NCAA scoring leader.

The name of the Son of California spreads more and more throughout the United States.

Countless players even traveled thousands of miles to see the fastest first step in California.

"Coach, we have achieved a record of 24 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the Parker 12 League. This result is ranked first even in the entire NCAA!"

"This is a very remarkable achievement!"

“The University of Southern California, currently ranked behind us, has a record of 20 wins and 5 losses!”

Sid said very excitedly.

The gap between USC and UCLA is a full 4 games. If nothing unexpected happens, UCLA is almost certain to be ranked first in the Parker XII Conference and will compete in the upcoming conference championship game as the No. 1 seed.

This achievement is outstanding even in the entire history of UCLA.

Alford also nodded with great satisfaction, but soon the emotion on his face became serious again.

The University of Southern California has also achieved an 8-game winning streak recently, and the player named Nick Young also scored 38 points in one game.

They were in their prime.

After a USC game, a reporter curiously asked USC head coach Bob, Nick Young or Zhang Jun who was the better player.

Bob said: "Of course it's Nick Young. He can shoot three-pointers, mid-range shots, breakthroughs, layups, dunks and extremely gorgeous individual singles."

"Honestly, I don't understand why you are bragging about California's first step. What is his strength?"

"Besides breaking through with one move, what else does he have?"

"Everyone knows that the more focused a player is on offense, the easier it is to be defended on defense."

Alford took a long breath, his face full of melancholy.

West Germany saw his melancholy and said, "Are you still thinking about the post-game interview at USC yesterday?"

Alford nodded and said: "Yes, Zhang Jun's breakthrough is indeed very powerful, but what Bob said makes sense. The more single-attack players are, the easier it is to successfully defend them in the more critical games."

"So I'm a little worried about the one-leg conference championship game coming up."

West Germany couldn't help but smile and said: "You have always advised me to trust my players, why are you unwilling to trust them this time?"

Alford was stunned and said: "To be honest, recently I have been doubting whether I was right or wrong when I invited Zhang Jun and assembled such a lineup."

"In order to beat Florida, I almost put together a completely different lineup from other college teams, with Zhang Jun as the core."

"You know, once he is in poor condition or has poor offensive skills at a certain point, or is even guarded by the opponent, all UCLA's offense will be misfired, and we are a team built entirely on offense. ”

West knew that Alford's concerns were not unfounded.

Whether it is the next conference championship game or the upcoming March Madness tournament, it is a life and death battle that determines the outcome.

No NCAA team can afford to lose.

Losing the game means going home and the entire season's hard work will be in vain.

UCLA has Zhang Jun as the core, which means that the fault tolerance rate is very low. Once something unexpected happens to him, the entire team's offense will be completely ruined.

Looking closely at all the NCAA teams, whether it is Florida or the University of Southern California, or the Duke University led by the famous coach K, they are not completely built with one person as the core.

They all know that in the NBA, if one person is at the core, it can turn the league upside down. This requires that core player to have extremely outstanding personal abilities and ability to withstand pressure, and must be able to fight in key battles.

But even in the NBA, there are few teams that can win the championship with one person as the core, such as the Gemini, the Big Three, or even the Five Tigers.

This is what a mature team should have as standard equipment.

"At least Zhang Jun has done well so far."

"Also, have you ever seen him perform abnormally during a game?"

Syd said suddenly.

Alford was at a loss for words. He had never seen Zhang Jun perform poorly once. This was really an incredible thing.

Even those NBA players who have been famous for a long time may perform extremely crotch-stretching in a certain game, but Zhang Jun did not.

He's a little too mature.

Sid said: "Isn't that right? He is already so outstanding and you still don't believe in him, but instead you worry about that."

"The key is, what time it is now, we have no other choice but to believe in Zhang Jun."

"He will definitely perform well in every game!"
