Chapter 127 Arizona Derby
"A Surprising Victory!The footsteps of the Sun Demon are unstoppable! "

"0.1 Seconds!Chinese Xu saved the Sun Devil, at that moment he was God...》

"Even UCLA fell under their feet, who else can stop this group of crazy young people? "

……

One night later, similar headlines appeared on the homepages of major media outlets across the country. The Arizona State Sun Devils had been touted as the most promising dark horse this season.Of course, this is also because only one of the top teams, UCLA, had a game the night before. The North Carolina Tar Heels, Kentucky Wildcats and Duke Blue Devils were all still resting.But even if they have a game, it may not be as eye-catching as Arizona State's game against UCLA. Dark horses are always popular among fans.

If beating USC in the last game just turned the eyes of discerning pundits on Arizona State for a little bit, beating UCLA means that they have entered the eyes of most people.With the performance of the Sun Devils so far, even if they can't advance to the national championship based on their record, the selection committee will definitely be happy to add their team name.

The Sun Devils, who continued to remain undefeated in the away game, did not waste time in Los Angeles. They set off for Phoenix early the next morning to rest.Next, their opponent will be the University of Arizona Wildcats, a fraternal team that loves to kill each other, and the distance between the two sides is relatively not that far, and they can completely let them rest first in terms of time.

It feels good to beat UCLA, the leader of the division, but Xu Hao just wants to go back to the dormitory and get a good night's sleep.The Bruins' backcourt combination ranks first in the entire league, and Xu Hao's consumption in the game is not small.After returning to the dormitory, Harden packed up his things and went out to hang out energetically. Xu Hao simply closed the curtains and fell asleep in the dark.

Now that he has developed a habit, he will never go to the system to train himself during the sleep-up period after the game, which can be regarded as a rare rest time.In addition to this little time to relax, he practiced in the system every night without hesitation, or played against his opponent in the next game.And he can also challenge his previous opponents in real games, such as Stanford University, but the two teams of USC and UCLA are very good whetstones.

For Xu Hao, training can only be regarded as continuing to maintain the feeling. His overall ability value has now reached the peak level that amateur players can achieve - 60 points. If he wants to continue to break through, he must either find an opportunity or enter the NBA first. .Xu Hao has never thought that 60 points is the end point for amateur players. You must know that historical players like Duncan and O'Neal can compete with professional players before entering the NBA. It is obvious that they have surpassed the theoretical highest level.

However, Xu Hao never felt that he could keep up with these big cows, and it would be good to be able to maintain his state...

After several days of preparation, Xu Hao and the others took a bus to Tucson, where the University of Arizona is located.As soon as they entered the campus, they felt the hostility of University of Arizona students, and there were many abusive banners.

Many newcomers blushed, but the old players sat calmly in their seats and commented on the grammatical errors of these banners.They have seen this kind of scene a lot. This kind of thing always happens in the Arizona Derby every year. If the venue of the game is changed to Arizona State University, the performance of the students may not be much better than what they see now.

Derby is a sports term that mostly refers to the competition between football teams in Europe, and it can also be the competition of collective events such as basketball, rugby, ice hockey and baseball teams in Asia and North America.Different games have different definitions of derby.

The first definition refers to the confrontation between two teams in the same region; the second definition refers to the game between two teams with similar strength and historical honor; the third situation is the strongest in a country. The confrontation between the two teams, that is, the national derby.The fourth situation is a tug-of-war confrontation between the two teams due to certain factors.

Relatively speaking, there are more derbys in the football world. The more famous ones are Manchester United VS Manchester City (Manchester Derby), AC Milan VS Inter Milan (Milan Derby), Barcelona VS Real Madrid (Spanish National Derby) and Dortmund VS Schalke 04 ( Ruhr area derby) and so on, and the derby in the basketball world is more of the first situation.

As the two top NCAA teams in Arizona, it is normal for the Arizona State Sun Devils and the University of Arizona Wildcats to dislike each other. It is no wonder that fans "welcome" their opponents in such a relatively aggressive way.

It's a pity that their efforts didn't seem to have any effect. There is still a certain gap in the strength of the two sides this season.The Sun Devils can even defeat the Bruins, which ruled the entire division, and it is not difficult to defeat their sworn enemy and win the derby.

Of course, the Wildcats still have two brushes. Their biggest reliance is the team's small forward Chase Budinger. The Wildcats' leading perimeter scorer.In addition, the Wildcats' insider Jordan Hill is also very good. This strong man from Atlanta temporarily took over the team's scoring, rebounding and blocking champions, averaging 2006 points, 18.3 rebounds and 11 blocks per game. .

However, their backcourt combination is lackluster in comparison. The personal data of Nick Wise and Kyle Fogg is not bad, but if they want to compete with Xu Hao and Harden, who are considered strong in the entire NCAA Compared with the field combination, it is almost meaningless.

The progress of the game also illustrates this point.Although Budinger easily defeated Cooks in the matchup, Xu Hao and Harden completely crushed the Wildcats' backcourt combination, and Ayers also matched Hill in the interior. A Hayward who has improved significantly and played a great role in the tactical system, the Sun Devils won without breaking a sweat.

After the final whistle sounded, Xu Hao and the others hurriedly shook hands with their opponents, and hurried into the player tunnel under the leadership of Coach Evans.Of course, they also want to show their gentlemanly demeanor in front of their opponents, but if they continue to stand boldly on the court, they will probably be completely overwhelmed by the debris thrown from the audience.

After returning to the locker room, Hayward complained while packing his things: "Are they still fans? I was almost hit in the head by a flying water glass! Damn it, I never want to play here again!"

Several veteran players looked at each other and laughed loudly: "Rookie, this is our derby!"
