"The performances of the two teams in the national championship game are very different, but no one can deny that both teams are favorites, and this year will be no exception."
"So far this season, there are still three teams that still have a complete victory, namely the University of Virginia, the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Southern California. After the next Los Angeles Derby, there will be another one less team with a complete victory. This also adds more highlights to the game."
Hastily, quickly scans a news report the size of a tofu cube, which only mentions Gawain's name once - and Thompson and Geelong are still the most widely known stars of the Bruins at present, but the real focus of the report is not to defeat the quickers team, but the same city derby two days later.
With that said, the Los Angeles Times report should come as no surprise.

The confrontation between the two teams has deeply entered the blood of all residents. This is Part of life in the City of Angels—
Take rugby as an example. The Los Angeles City Derby is held in the Rose Bowl, which can accommodate 100,000 people. Moreover, the annual attendance rate is not trivial. Even the professional rugby game NFL does not have such a scale.
Of course, tennis is known as a "gentleman's sport", and there are many rules for watching the game; moreover, the popularity rate is not as high as that of rugby, so the scale of battles is naturally not so exaggerated. Even so, the same city derby is still absolutely popular.
In particular, the two teams are now in a relatively peak state, and every match is full of suspense. The outcome often depends on the on-the-spot performance. , Even the people who eat melons are full of enthusiasm.
Just like this time, the Bruins and the Trojans are both unbeaten, ranking second and third in the United States. Every win or loss may change the situation. Both teams hope to step on the shoulders of their mortal enemies and continue to move forward. Intense sparks began to diffuse early on.
The "Los Angeles Times" immediately paid attention.
As a result, Gao Wen's name also appeared on the top newspapers and periodicals distributed in the United States for the first time, even if it was only a trivial one.
Gao Wen also had to admit that, being a human being for two lifetimes, it was the first time he saw his name in a newspaper like the "Los Angeles Times", turned into dark type, even if it wasn't Chinese characters, it still had a special feeling that was hard to describe in words , Just the mood puts on the wings and flies lightly.
Until Gao Wen found out that not only himself, but also his friends were also like this, the slightly trembling feeling became even more wonderful and unique.
"Ho **** ho ho! Look, isn't this our superstar?"
When Purcell arrived at the training ground, he saw Gao Wen and McDonald who were warming up, and he was the first to yell loudly.
Purcell knew Gao Wen. Although they had only been together for more than half a year, Gao Wen was always low-key and focused off the field, and occasionally liked to joke with them; Let people feel the passion of the game.
In Purcell's expectation, Gao Wen should be a little uncomfortable in the face of ridicule. After all, it is the first time to appear in such an important media, but he will come back soon, and Purcell has even prepared the second wave of jokes , so that you come and I can be lively.
But…
Gao Wen just raised his head and looked at Sale, without any special expression, and continued to focus on his warm-up exercises.
Even Macdonald next to him looked calm and breezy.
This made Sale feel very stupid.
"Eh? Gawain? You? Didn't you read the newspaper?"
Sell was a little anxious, and said in a panic, "I mean the school newspaper, the headlines on the front page! And the 'Los Angeles Times', we are also on the sports page!"
At this time, Saier couldn't care less about teasing the cat step by step, and said a lot in a hurry, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.
"Hmm." Gao Wen, who was warming up, didn't say anything~www.mtlnovel.com~ but just responded, with a calm and breezy appearance, as if he was just saying that the sun is good today.
Sell was in a hurry, "Gawain? This is a big deal! This is a big deal that hit the whole city! That's the 'Los Angeles Times', buddy, that's the 'Los Angeles Times'!" Saying that, Sell's eyeballs were about to close It fell out, and I couldn't believe my eyes—that's the only way Gao Wen reacted?
Just when Sale was about to go forward to have an in-depth discussion with Gao Wen face to face, Thompson on the other side of the field couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.
Sale was full of question marks.
Di Giulio didn't hold back either, his eyes and mouth were full of smiles, "We know, we know everything!"
Purcell:? ? ?
Di Giulio explained kindly, "The first thing everyone does when they arrive at the training ground is to make fun of Gao Wen. You are already the fourth."
Purcell: ...
He wanted to swear.
At the very beginning, Gao Wen was indeed a little cautious. The title of "Victory Hero" was still a little unfamiliar. He always felt that the whole team should be credited. I will also make fun of myself with my teammates and change styles.
Giggling and laughing, this group of young people all mingled together.
When it was Purcell's turn, everyone was betting to see if Purcell would make fun of Gao Wen—sure enough!
Then, seeing Sellar's depressed appearance that could not be relieved, everyone couldn't hold back any more, and all burst into laughter, mercilessly laughing, bright and hearty laughter filled the entire stadium, youth is wanton Soaring, as if it was just a report in the "Los Angeles Times", they already owned the whole world.
