Chapter 23 Disputes have started(1/2)
The game between Santa Clara University vs. California State University Long Beach is just a battle between two minor leagues on the West Coast of NCAA, not class bullies, and a fight between the two colleges and universities.
In terms of attention, it is definitely not as good as UCLAvsUNLV that started fighting on the same day. Looking at Isaiah Laidel vs UCLA stars, isn't it delicious?
Or the University of Arizona vs Kansas, Chris Mills vs Rex Waters, isn't it great?
In a game with low attention, even if John Bayless blew Lin Xing and Long Beach to the sky, it would not be very popular.
But the Orange County Chronicle, a big newspaper with national influence, put John Bayless's quotes on the sports page on the headlines of this game, and everything is different.
"John Bayless: NCAA Opening Battle, Another Emperor Star emerges!"
With this title, many people may think that the Emperor Star here refers to Jason Kidd.
Cal's opening match was against Wake Forest University in the ACC league, with NCAA star players like Rodney Rogers.
Although Wake Forest University is not a strong team at this time, it is not comparable to Santa Clara University in the West Coast minor leagues.
Facing an opponent with strong strength, Kidd scored 19 points, 11 rebounds, 14 assists, 5 steals, and led the team to win.
It is also appropriate to describe it as Emperor Star and the emergence of the sky.
People then looked at the subtitle and were stunned for a moment.
"——Imperial Star may be comparable to pennies, Long Beach will be a dark horse in the new season of NCAA!
Long Beach? Where is this school?
Can a school that is unknown where it is located also produce the Emperor Star?
Entering the main text, they finally saw the name of the "Emperor Star", Xing Lin.
Xinglin? Linxing? Who is this?
I don’t know who Lin Xing belongs to, but when I see this, I’ve already started to squirt.
"Compared with pennies? Are even pennies going to be targeted by the censors these days?"
"Penny led Memphis University to the Elite Eight last season. Can this guy be compared with penny?"
"John Bayless is just a fool. Who is he bad at playing? He actually blew an East Asian guy. East Asian guys can play basketball? It's so ridiculous!"
I know who Lin Xing is, but I just know that Lin Xing is the sixth five-star high school student in the United States this year.
The problem is that in the eyes of most fans, even Kidd, who ranks first, is not worthy of pennies.
"Penny is undoubtedly the first point guard of the NCAA because he led the team to the Elite Eight, and all the point guards in the Elite Eight last season, Bobby Hurley, ranked second, is far inferior to him."
"The third-rate college in the NCAA first-level league defeated another third-rate college. Its leading stars performed well and they were just pennies side by side?"
"Does they have anything similar except being tall point guards? John Bayless is too far-fetched, as if he had collected money."
This group of fans who were squirting about everything began to find various ways to attack John Bayless and even attack Lin Xing.
In this era when the Internet is not yet popular, trolls can vent their dissatisfaction without typing on the keyboard.
They could only write to the Orange County Chronicle, to local TV stations in Los Angeles, and to the Los Angeles Times where John Bayless worked.
Even, I sent some weird things to the address of the Long Beach Branch Training Hall.
Lin Xing will not pay special attention to public opinion after the game. Even if he pays attention, his eyes will not leave the small corner of Long Beach.
All he could see was the commentary written by a reporter signed by Kevin Ding from the Long Beach Chronicle.
Kevin Ding's evaluation of this game is-
"The 49ers have set a new core in the new season..."
"From the first game of the season, Star Lin is fully qualified for this core position, and he successfully led the team to beat Santa Clara University..."
"Maybe the 49ers fans can look forward to more in the new season."
Impartial, neutral and fair, without any complaints, and naturally there is no topic.
In the eyes of non-49ers fans, this report is no different from not writing it.
But for 49ers fans, this report is great.
They found confidence in the new season in this report, and—
"I was about to say that the name Zero Sen is too difficult to pronounce. Every time I pronounce it in a standard way. Now, I can call him with the nickname ‘Star’."
"Star, the shining stars, I have to say, he is indeed shining!"
"Star Lin? Wait, how does this name look so much like the name of a leader of a disintegrated socialist country?"
"The gossip, within the 49ers, Star has the hidden name of 'Tyrant'."
"Stalin, tyrant, isn't this a match?"
Lin Xing knows the local public opinion in Longtan very well.
Because in the past two days, he can always hear discussions among fans on the Long Beach campus.
Through these discussions, he learned that in the team, he had the nickname of "Tyrant".
Tyrant? Isn’t this saying that he is a team leader?
"Damn, I really didn't want to be a team leader. I really just want to play basketball well!"
As he said this, Lin Xing's face was full of smiles.
He was very satisfied that in just one game, he conquered the 49ers fans.
He knew it was not enough. If he wanted to completely conquer the fans who must be picky, he still needed a real victory.
...
Lin Xing didn't know that Los Angeles, California, and even the entire western United States were pissing him and John Bayless.
The strange things sent by the trolls to the 49ers training hall were already put away by the cleaning staff at the training hall before Lin Xing saw them.
Useful things, such as some women's clothes, have been taken over by the cleaning aunties;
Nothing useful, such as the poster of Anfini Hardaway, was thrown directly into the trash can by the cleaning aunties.
Lin Xing during this period was the same as when he first entered the Long Beach Branch.
Russell is abused by daily training and continues to improve his steal attributes.
The school’s courses are not missed and they are very serious.
As the school started one after another, he also met his roommate, the Chinese student named Zhang Fengyuan, in the dormitory.
As expected, this guy is a rich second generation.
As soon as we met, we fucked a Beijing movie: "Damn, buddy, you are my new roommate, right? Didn't you expect that you are so tall, can you sleep in this bed?"
Height? Lin Xing, who is 2.01 meters tall, is indeed tall for ordinary people, especially Zhang Fengyuan, a small man who may not even be 1.7 meters tall.
Faced with this guy's sigh, or to be more precise, this guy's complaints, Lin Xing could only: "General height, average height..."
"You are still average in height? Stop teasing."
Seeing this guy rolling his eyes, Lin Xing smiled and stopped teasing him:
"For me, a basketball player, this height is indeed average."
"What, are you a basketball player?"
Zhang Fengyuan looked shocked, and he touched his chin:
"I really didn't expect it, no, I should have thought of it long ago. It's just your height, so it's a waste not to play basketball!"
"So, let me introduce myself formally. My surname is Zhang, Zhang Fengyuan. My father runs a restaurant in Beijing and is a time-honored brand, so he has money and can send me to study abroad."
"Lin Xing, a member of the school basketball team who has won the full sports award, well, my parents are both doing business in the United States, so I am not considered studying abroad."
In this way, the two really got to know each other.
For the time being, what Lin Xing can be sure of is that his roommate is very outgoing.
He talks a lot, and he speaks unrestrainedly.
If you really want to get along with each other, it will definitely not be difficult to get along with each other.
Zhang Fengyuan is already a junior, and he has been at the Long Beach Branch for two years.
He has become familiar with all aspects of the Long Beach branch.
He pulled Lin Xing to join the Chinese Students Association at the Long Beach Branch, and at the same time introduced two Chinese students in the dormitory next door to Lin Xing.
A person named Xue Jian always has a cold face. If you smile at him, he will also smile at you.
According to Zhang Fengyuan, this guy is one of the few academic masters in the Chinese student circle at Long Beach and is truly here to learn.
The other is Ge Hangcheng, a second generation from Zhejiang and Hangzhou. Like Zhang Fengyuan, he is also a chatterbox.
Both of them love to play, and each has a used sports car in Midi.
In the past, they always drove Xue Jian out for fun, and they paid the fee.
When Lin Xing heard this, his eyes lit up.
Ge Hangcheng hugged Lin Xing's shoulder: "In two days, I'll just go out for fun tomorrow, brothers and I'll go out together!"
