"I haven't called yet, hey. www.biquge.info"Seeing that An Jie hadn't called for a long time, the bearded man sighed, it seems that the Whirlwind team's season has ended here."

Suddenly, he heard the sound of laughter coming from a distance in the block, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer to his shop.

"Why are there drunks at noon?" The bearded man was about to walk out of the store to take a look, but a group of people pushed the door in. The bearded man who walked in was known to everyone, and they were none other than the Iowa State University Whirlwind players.

"How did you find that far away?" Anthony. Ben looked around at the seemingly nondescript restaurant.

"Don't worry, the taste guarantees your satisfaction." As he spoke, An Jie walked towards the bearded man behind the bar.

"Okay, I'll give you the ticket, and you give me the feast. No, I've brought them all. An Jie rubbed his elbow against the boss who was staying in place.

"Ouch! Ladies and gentlemen! Private room please! The bearded man suddenly reacted as if he had woken up from a big dream, and he warmly beckoned the Whirlwind players to walk towards a room.

"Dad, why are there so many guests all of a sudden?" Catherine had just returned to the store after class, and it was rare to find that there were more than a dozen people in the store.

All of the Whirlwind players were captivated by the pleasant sound, and they all looked back to see Catherine's curious blue eyes.

"I finally know how this kid An Jie found here." Anthony had to admit that if it weren't for Anjie, he would have gone up to talk to him a long time ago.

"Asakin, what are you looking at, boy? You won't be afraid that An Jie will eat you on the training ground! "Mike. Taylor dragged Asakin and walked into the private room. This group of young and vigorous lads has been in addition to classes and training for the past few months, and even the cheerleading girls have been driven to the open court by Ricard to rehearse, just for fear that this group of guys will be distracted. Now it's a good thing, suddenly I saw a sweet-looking girl, and they all showed their fangs one by one.

"Sure enough, there wasn't a serious person in this group." Catherine looked at this group of tall boys with disdain.

"Guys, how about I take a photo for everyone as a souvenir?" The bearded man didn't take the menu, but walked into the private room with a camera.

"It's gone, it's gone!" The bearded fingers kept pressing the shutter, and his mouth couldn't close his smile.

A group of people were playing in the private room, and Rickard also put down his usual seriousness and mingled with the players. It didn't take long for the bearded man to make a big table of dishes, and everyone drooled when they looked at the various Chinese dishes. Immediately, everyone almost threw themselves on the table and devoured them.

This group of young people who have no image now have no appearance of urban idols at all. It was this seemingly sloppy group of guys who led the Whirlwinds to the NCAA March Madness Tournament for the first time since 1986. For such a long time, many people in Ames City have almost forgotten the frenzy of this stage.

March Madness is really the most apt interpretation of the NCAA round of 64 playoffs, and the most worthy of the name. From the opening game to the final finals, there was only one month for the best college basketball teams and basketball players in the United States to gather here and win in the most tragic way in this short period of time.

From the first game to the championship, a team only needs to go through six games, and only need to win six games to lift the trophy, which symbolizes the highest honor.

At this time of year, the eyes of basketball fans across the United States are focused on this court. Even the scouts, managers, and more of the NBA teams will keep a lot of interest in the March Madness event. Even the NBA had to make way for the NCAA finals day, which shows the level of attention that March Madness has received that the league's regular season season is unmatched.

In the best-of-seven NBA playoffs, the league has done everything possible to kill the element of luck, and a team can only rely on strength to win four games to advance to the next round. So every time the Black Eight Miracle comes out in the playoffs, everyone gets excited.

And the NCAA March Crazy format is a hotbed of dark horses, and there is no chance of a team turning the tables here, whether you are North Carolina or UCLA, as long as you slack off in a game, it will only come back next year.

Lore, overtime, dark horse, giants, weak to strong, future star....... All of this stuff makes the fans want to stop. March Madness is also named after this, the most exciting month, the easiest month to become famous, and the month that everyone can remember the most.

And now, the group of guys at the dinner table who can't even walk are about to enter this crazy basketball hall.

The next day, the major newspapers published a list of teams participating in this season's NCAA March Madness Tournament, and the Iowa State University Whirlwinds of the Big Twelve League were prominently listed.

Many coaches were unfamiliar when they saw the name of Iowa State University and were curious about the team's unusual lineup. "With a Chinese center at the core!?"

In the past decade, the NCAA has not had many cases where a center has led a team to a championship. In addition to 2004 Emeka . Aside from Okafor's lead to Connecticut's championship, the rest may be back in Ewing's college days. Under this general trend of extremely fast switching between offense and defense, the center has long been reduced to a machine only responsible for passing, blocking and rebounding.

So after reading the Cyclones' scouting reports, many coaches are just as shy about the Cyclones as the critics at the start of the season. This team from the second place in the Big 12 League plays too retro, not to mention that this midfielder of the Whirlwind is just a first-year rookie and is still a Chinese. Do the people of Ames City really think that tall Chinese can become Yao Ming?

If Rickard had known that he was being ignored by most of his opponents, he would have been too happy to sleep. The more overlooked a team is, the more likely it is to come out on top. However, no matter how good Ricard was, he didn't have the ability to read through other people's minds, so he could only start his training program step by step.

After a day fooling around with the players in the bearded restaurant, Ricard is back to being the no-nonsense coach he is. Someone who does not do well, after he has been coached, is punished, dissatisfied with the punishment or complains? Quite simply, add a penalty. However, almost no one will be punished now, and Rickard has established a high reputation among the players, so no one will question him.

Divac also rushed back to Ames from his home in Serbia, and his mentoring of Anjie was not over yet. On the stage of Crazy March, this kid will only meet stronger opponents, and his training must continue to go deeper.

Wu Hua has not been idle in the past few days, the Crazy March competition is about to start, and An Jie's interview must be indispensable.

"Last question, in your concept, what do you think a basketball game in March Madness would look like?" After Wu Hua finished speaking, he picked up the recorder and prepared to start recording. He's been interviewing An Jie for half an hour, and that's enough for him to write a column.

An Jie pondered for a few seconds, he has played 33 games in the American college basketball league in the past few months, and he still has a lot of feelings in his heart, but he has to summarize it in one sentence......

"It's art in its purest form and it's pure violence, and that's what I imagined as March Madness." Anjie is now very comfortable facing interviews.

"You are becoming more and more popular in China, and there are even many people who have called for you to be selected for the national team to participate in the BJ Olympics in a few months. Although this is just a casual statement, it also highlights the expectations of domestic fans. Don't let us down, Anjie, play well. The general environment of Chinese basketball is not good, you are a rare player who started completely abroad, cherish it. Oh, that's not the content of an interview, it's a private piece of advice from friends. Wu Hua smiled and signaled that he had already turned off the recorder.

"I'll work hard for Angkor, but I didn't expect the NCAA to also get attention in China."

"The attention is naturally not as good as Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, but you are already well-known in China." Wu Hua laughed again, and he could be said to have contributed to the improvement of An Jie's attention.

The atmosphere of Crazy March is getting stronger and stronger, and Anjie is getting more and more attention. In this way, An Jie didn't dare to lower his requirements for himself, and he still practiced hard every day until late. No matter who the opponent is, An Jie is ready and waiting for the referee to blow the whistle.

The entire Whirlwind team is also like a hunter lurking in the jungle, ready to deliver the fatal blow.
