Vol 2 Chapter 17: A game you can't lose

　　 January 14, 2016, is a very important day for me. Because their next opponent is about to be called the University of Southern California.
　　 For the whole season, even if it is spent in failure, there is nothing more difficult to accept than losing to the University of Southern California.
　　As the most outstanding university in California, USC and USC compete with each other not only academically, but also in sports.
Every year in the first week of March Crazy, the students will wantonly humiliate the USC mascot and the statue of the Trojan Knight, sometimes even splashing paint, peeing and other unusual behaviors. This week they are often caught by the students. They became the "painful week of Southern California". Of course, the big iron bear also cannot escape the humiliation of the USC people. Although the top leaders of both sides later came forward to mediate, however, this did not stop the grievances between the two schools at the level of sports events. Today, with the rise of the University of Southern California at the basketball level, their antagonistic emotions are deepening day by day.
　　 The love, hatred, and enmity of the two schools originated from "a bell", and things started more than 70 years ago.
In 1941, the two schools had been competing because of the rugby match. As a result, at the Open that year, six USC students did something that remembered history: they sneaked in and stole the victory clock. ! These guys act quickly, are well organized, work together, and cover each other. They hid the Victory Clock in so many different places that they never found it.
　　 It wasn't until 1942 that USC put Zhong's photo on the cover of the campus magazine "The Wampus", and this was the answer.
　　 But they didn't do it, they didn't talk nonsense, and expressed their anger with practical actions: spray blue paint on the bronze statue of the Trojan knight at USC.
　　 are all young people who are full of blood, how can they bear this breath. What's more, this is about the "spirit" and "honor" of my school.
　　 USC students issued a fierce counterattack:
　　 They burned the acronym of USC on the turf.
　　 Later students, adhering to the spirit of stealing clocks from seniors, secretly exchanged cheerleading boards, leaving USC elements on the other party's celebration.
　　 They stuffed the "smoke only" bomb under the cheerleader seat during the game.
　　 They put 20,000 red and gold (dyed) crickets in the library. It is said that until now, cricket bodies can be found in some old books in the library.

The students of 　　 are naturally not to be outdone:
　　 They kidnapped USC fans, tied them up and sprayed them with a fire hydrant.
　　 They saw off the hands of the bronze statue of USC's Trojan Knight, and then soldered it back in a strange position, posing in an intriguing posture.
　　 They designed a hot air balloon and flew onto the Trojan sculpture of USC. It exploded automatically, and the Trojan was so terribly exposed.
　　……
　　The actions are so intense, and the words are unscrupulous. On Twitter and Facebook, the two sides have also spared no effort to hack each other. Even in every aspect of daily life, this kind of mutual tearing behavior can be reflected, for example, they will not forget to black each other on the license plate.
　　 It is hard to imagine that this kind of fighting behavior of children has lasted for nearly a hundred years between two prestigious California schools. But no one thinks there is anything wrong, at least Americans don't think there is anything wrong. What is certain is that this tradition will continue and be carried forward by people in the future.
　　In fact, in the United States, rival universities include Harvard vs. Yale, MIT vs. Caltech, Ohio State vs. Michigan...
　　 Between each pair, there is the same or even more exciting story as that of USC.
　　Although it is not the most intense football game, this time the basketball game with USC has easily become the top priority for all students in the two schools. It even affected countless people connected with these two schools.
　　 Actually, as early as when An Luo and the others had not played against the two Arizona teams, discussions about this game had already begun in the official forum. The students have arranged everything for the day of the competition. The first is to buy tickets, never let a USC player enter the Pali Stadium, and there must not be a voice cheering for USC on the day of the game. Then how to interfere with the opponent's shooting during the game, how to use your own voice to pressure the opponent's players and so on. Even arranged for someone to go to the other party's locker room to make trouble.
　　 Of course, as early as a week ago, the big iron bear had become a "mummy bear". The defense is that the people from USC sneak in and splash paint!
　　 As for the Bruins players, as those who are on the front line of the battle with USC, they have enjoyed the heroic treatment in advance. For the old players like Isaac and Bryce, they have gone through such scenes many times, so they are much calmer. But the three of Holiday, Alex, and Prince were so excited. Fighting for your own school is like those superheroes saving the world. It feels so cool!
　　 An Luo seemed indifferent. He couldn't understand the thinking of these Americans~EbookFREE.me~ Whether it was the cause of the incident or the subsequent dispute between the two students, it seemed to him like a nonsense movie. Seriously funny.
　　 But no matter what she thinks of this matter, victory is his eternal pursuit.
　　As an old man who has been coaching for many years, Alford naturally understands the importance of this game. Yu Gong is the glory of the school; Yu Shi, if he loses the game at home, maybe his old Ford will become the target of vent for those crazy students.
　　 So on the 13th, he rarely arrived at the training hall early.
　　 But he is still not the first to come. As soon as he entered the door, he saw several familiar figures: An Luo, Holiday, Alex, Prince. The four students who joined this year felt this kind of "life and death battle" atmosphere for the first time, no different from those freshman players in the past.
　　 Active, proactive and aggressive.
　　 "Hi, good morning, boys! I can see that you are all in good spirits!" Alford walked over and said hello.
　　 "Good morning! Steve!"
"My goodness! Steve! I think there must be something wrong with your alarm clock. We all know that you always arrive on time. "Alex still likes to make some small jokes, and Alford knows it too, haha With a smile, he picked up the ball and shot a few.
　　"唰~"
　　"唰~"
"boom……"
　　"唰~"
　　 The posture is very standard and the hit rate is also very good. This is not a guy on paper. When he was young, he was a ruthless character who could partner with Michael Jordan in the Olympics.
