Chapter 24 Continuing to Set Records

I have a scholarship to go to school, and I have a living allowance from my aunt. I got a few financial statements a while ago, and I know that the dividends from those companies alone are more than hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. It's only 10,000+, but even so, he is still a small rich man, several times higher than the average annual personal income in California.

So the expenditure of several thousand dollars is no longer a problem for Stephen, and it is not a one-time expenditure. When he returned home and talked to his aunt, Shi Xianghua praised Stephen very much, praising him for his financial management concept.

However, Shi Xianghua also told him that to be able to manage money is to be able to make money. Take Stephen's father as an example. What kind of brains, that's why he has become what he is now.

Stephen said that although he was not convinced, he had no words to refute. His father was like this. He was too good at calculating small accounts, but he didn't have much courage and vision in business. Aunt is incomparable.

In the home game against the University of California, Berkeley, Stephen didn't take a single shot, and he returned to his original state, which surprised many people. Could it be that at this time, you still want to hide your strength, but everyone knows that even if you Can't shoot, but can still dunk.

But I don't know that Stephen's mind is now full of fragments of Brandon Roy playing. After getting the ball, he doesn't know how to choose the attack method. Whether to follow his original offensive routine or the one he learned, he can't decide Under the circumstances, Stephen simply stopped attacking, and he has no interest in such a weak team. Whoever wants to score points will do it.

This is also the first time Stephen has scored in double figures in assists. There is no way, he passes the ball as soon as he gets it, but in this game, Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt feel particularly good.

When the USC Trojans came to Palo Alto next to San Francisco to challenge the Stanford Crimson team, Stephen already felt that he had mastered something, although it was still very vague.

In this game, although it was the first time against the Crimson team, the Crimson team's strength was extremely weak, not even comparable to Washington State University and University of California, Berkeley.

There was only one Matt Haria who performed well, but he didn't take advantage of the reformed Coupard, but was completely blown away by Coupard.

After leading the score by a lot, Stephen conducted an offensive experiment in this game, choosing the timing, bypassing the defense, going to the basket, and dunking. After trying a few times, Stephen found that no matter how tight the defense line is, as long as you observe carefully It can be found that the route that can be entered is nothing more than the opportunity of the defensive team is fleeting, and the defensive team has more opportunities to attack.

All of Stephen's seven offenses in the entire game ended with dunks, so Stephen became the only player in the entire NCAA league who took more than ten shots and kept his shooting percentage at [-]%. Once a record was set.

No way, as long as he starts dunking, he is unstoppable, and his timing is very good, and he doesn't even give others the chance to foul.

After beating the Stanford Crimson, USC won six of seven games, ranking first in the Pac-[-].

Except for the two strong teams of the UCLA Bruins and the Arizona Wildcats, the University of Southern California has already gone through all the other teams in the league.

However, the performance of the UCLA Bruins this year is not very good. Affected by the coaching change, they have only achieved four wins and three losses. In addition to losing to the University of Washington, the University of Arizona also lost to the University of Oregon. once.

The next opponent of the USC Trojans is the University of Arizona Wildcats. This team has many star-level players, many of whom are regulars in the best team of the Pacific Ten League, and some even won in the championship. Best player honors.

The University of Arizona has a profound basketball background. Among the active players who came from this school are Luke Wharton, Jason Terry, Damon Stoudemire, Richard Jefferson, Andre... Iguodala, Gilbert Arenas, Mike Bibby, etc. can form a very luxurious lineup.

And now this team has Salim Stoudemire, Hasson Adams, Chris Rodriguez, Channing Frye and many other NBA-level players. It is said that this year also recruited a newcomer It's called Marcus Williams, and his skills are pretty good.

In the Pacific Ten Schools League, only UCLA can compete with the University of Arizona in terms of background and lineup. However, in recent years, UCLA has been at a low ebb, and it is obviously a bit lost to the University of Arizona.

However, the recent performance of the University of Southern California has also made experts very optimistic about their performance, especially Coupard, who has been praised as the most surprising discovery since the start of this year's regular season. The Most Improved Player award went to the breakout big man.

And Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt are also believed by many commentators that if the two participate in the draft this year, they can at least enter the second round, especially if Nick Young is more stable and plays more resolutely, The first round is possible.

A team with three players who can enter the NBA can already be regarded as a strong team in the NCAA. Although it cannot be compared with such super teams as Duke University and the University of North Carolina, it is still not enough to call the wind and rain in its own league. questionable.

Therefore, many people think that as long as the University of Southern California maintains its current performance, entering the top 64 is a matter of iron and steel, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

However, in the remarks of these media or experts, there is basically nothing about Stephen. Even if there is, it is only mentioned briefly. What development potential does a player without offensive ability have, what?He already knows how to dunk, what is it to be able to dunk, how many people who dunk so badly can't even get a contract from the Development League.

Occasionally someone mentioned Stephen, but he only praised Stephen's defensive ability, thinking that he is still very important to the University of Southern California. Without his support, the University of Southern California's perimeter defense would be impossible to talk about. The strongest point lock, Southern California wins the game.

This kind of argument is quite pertinent, especially this kind of argument was put forward by the more professional basketball magazine "Basketball Shot". The basketball fans at the University of Southern California gave Stephen a nickname: "The Wall of Sighs". Some people called Stephen: "a one-way street".

The meaning of the two nicknames is to describe Stephen's defense is very strong, as insurmountable as the wall between the inside and outside lines, and the other is to describe that after meeting Stephen, he can only go out, not in, and at the same time It also means that Stephen can only defend but not defend, but it is neither praise nor criticism, it is very pertinent.

However, neither of the two nicknames has seen Stephen's improvement on the offensive end. He has only played seven games. Stephen has gone from not scoring a point to scoring a few points in each game. If he continues to improve, how should he describe it? , two-way street.

Before the next game, there is another very important holiday for everyone, that is Christmas. In addition to the two-day holiday, the school also organized an event on Christmas Eve.

All Trojans are required to participate in this event. The name of the event is Trojan Carnival Night. This is also to increase communication between athletes of various sports, promote their friendship, and exercise their social skills. Carnival night, everyone All dressed up to attend.

In terms of dressing, with his aunt around, Stephen naturally doesn’t need to worry about anything. Others also have their own girlfriends as staff, and there is no problem. The only problem is that everyone present must bring their own girlfriends or boyfriends, but Stephen is alone.

When he was in Charlotte, due to the strict discipline of his parents, Stephen never had any real girlfriends, but he had two or three friends with benefits, but there were not many opportunities, and he never developed into a girlfriend. At my aunt's house, I didn't have enough time for training every day, and of course I didn't know my girlfriend.

After arriving at school, Coppard introduced a few to him, but unfortunately Stephen didn't like any of them, not to mention black girls, and most of them came for Stephen's money.

As for introducing white girls, Coupard does not yet have the ability. Although there is no racial discrimination on the university campus, the skin color is like an invisible furrow, separating the two groups of people.

After getting in touch with his aunt more, Stephen's admiration for women is very different from the beginning. For those black girls who speak slang and don't pay attention to dressing, they can also be called street girls. Stephen, who is affectionate, gentle and elegant, doesn't have that idea yet, but at least he has to be good-natured.

However, although such girls can be found everywhere on the campus of the University of Southern California, there are not many who fall in love with Stephen. In addition, Stephen patronizes training every day, so he has no chance to get to know him.

Holding the principle of preferring lack to excess, Stephen came to the event site alone, a training center in the school, which can accommodate thousands of people for training. Now all the training facilities have been packed up or transported away and replaced with tables.

The table is full of food and drinks. Alcoholic drinks are impossible. They are all mineral water, fruit sweat, cola, etc. The food is French fries, potato chips, bread, biscuits and the like.

In the middle of the hall, there was a small stage facing a table. On the stage, a black man closed his eyes and sang tongue-in-cheek songs, holding a pair of ball-like instruments in his hand to accompany himself.

Stephen quickly found the members of the basketball team, just like they were on the court, those water fountain guardians were sitting on the sofa, discussing various fashion topics with their female companions elegantly, and those who could play The players are sitting around a big iron frame, talking about the next opponent.
