Rickard was the first to arrive at the gymnasium today, and when he arrived at the gate, the janitor Austin had just arrived at the duty room to change his clothes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Good morning, Coach. Austin pulled out a bunch of keys to open the door.

"Early Robert, no one is here yet, are you?"

"Don't you look at what time it is, and those boys are still in class. Austin pointed to Ricard's watch.

Standing next to the schedule on the wall of his office, Rickard picked up the marker on his desk and drew a red circle on the name of the University of Kansas Jayhawks. After today's practice, their regular season of the season is coming to an end. Rickard still vividly remembers the comment he saw in the newspaper on the day of the regular season, and I wonder if the guy who wrote the news has been fired now. Now that March Madness is in front of his eyes, and the Whirlwinds' multi-year slump is finally about to be broken, Ricard says nothing that will let this opportunity drift away. Tomorrow, one of the biggest matchups in the Big Twelve League, the Whirlwinds won't allow themselves to be slaughtered even on the road.

In the afternoon, the players were very enthusiastic and very engaged and focused in training.

After a big win in the last game, the psychology of the Whirlwind players has been adjusted to a state that is about to explode. All of them are eager to fight, eager to win.

As Ricard watched the shouting, the running, the passing and the seriousness with which every ball was being taken seriously by the players on the training pitch, he had no thought but satisfaction. Every rebound, every defense, the players did it like they were in real combat. A team can't just rely on its star to play, and the performance of its role players can also determine the team's victory or defeat. Now that the quality of the team's training is very high, it is natural that there is no need to worry about the condition of people other than the main players.

"You've been in the first place for a long time, it's time to come down and rest. Riccard looked at his active men and couldn't help but think of the image when he was at the top after the victory.

"Bang!" the basket made a loud noise, pulling Riccard's mind back to the basketball court. On the court, An Jie had just come off the basket, and Asakin was complaining as usual about An Jie's "abuse" of him every day. Riccard was already familiar with such a picture.

The growth of this Asian boy, but he personally watched it come step by step. He was very grateful to God for this gift to him, and he was glad that he could see An Jie playing in the vast sea of people that day. There is also Divac, the guidance of that old demon has made An Jie take a lot of detours, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is An Jie's Bole. This guy who has worked hard in the NBA league for more than ten years, there is always something that An Jie can't finish. Thinking of this, Riccard turned his head to look at Divac, who was sitting not far away, only to find that Divac was also looking at him with disdain.

"I don't think you're speaking ill of me in your heart again. "When Divac and Ricard got acquainted, they were no longer as polite and reserved as they had been when they first met. Now when Ricard sees Divac, he no longer calls him "Mr. Divac" as respectfully as he did at the beginning, but opens his mouth to "Old Devil". Rather than angry, Divac was proud of the nickname.

"I mean, the next game is really going to be against an All-Star caliber team. In the entire Big Twelve Alliance, there is no second opponent like them. "Rickard has been studying the Jayhawks overnight for days and now knows as much about the Jayhawks players as he knows about his own players.

'They've got really good players in every position, even a couple of good guys on the bench. The most terrifying thing is that this group of powerful guys is still very united. However, I believe that Anjie can open up the situation on the inside. I've watched a lot of footage of Darrell Arthur and Sasha Cowan and I think Anjie is far superior to those two. Divac's tone was confident.

He averaged 12.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, ranking second on the team. His 54.3 percent shooting percentage ranks fourth in the Big Twelve League, and his average of 1.3 blocks per game ranks seventh in the Big Twelve League. Five times he scored more than 20 points in a single game and five double-doubles, which is what Darrell Arthur has put up this season, and his 109 blocks rank 13th in University of Kansas history. is such an opponent with beautiful statistics, but Divac confidently said that Anjie's strength is far above him. Even if he had only played against An Jie on the training ground, Divac already knew in his heart what level An Jie was at now. Divac's confidence in Anjie didn't come out of nowhere.

"Ha, I know, he's never let me down. Open up the situation from the inside, I think so too. Rickard touched his chin and returned his gaze to Angel.

At the same time, the Jayhawks team in Lawrence City are also actively training. Darrell Arthur is one of the hardest working of them all, and the one with the most pressure of the group. Even without Morris, the Whirlwinds' interior attack would still be strong because of the presence of that Chinese.

"Don't worry, we'll back you tomorrow. Chalmers saw his teammate's concerns.

"Of course, I'm not stupid enough to go one-on-one with Kouvers and Jordan Jr. "A lot of guys have fallen to Angel's hands, and Darrell Arthur doesn't want to be the next laughing stock.

"Rest assured, we are strongest when we work together. "The shortest man on the pitch, Chalmers, like Mike Taylor, has become the leader of the team's dressing room.

Both teams are ready, and now the Jayhawks are waiting for the whirlwind to strike.

....................

The bearded man had already driven to the northeastern Kansas city in the United States, and along the way he met many of his fellow travelers, most of whom were like himself, who had come from Ames City to see the final battle. Among them, he also met a Chinese journalist named Wu Hua, who is said to have written a lot of articles and news about An Jie in China.

Lawrence is not a large city, with a population of only 70,000 and only light industries such as food processing, paper and chemicals. Like Ames, Lawrence is a standard college town. It is home to two well-known American institutions of higher learning, one of the largest and oldest Indian schools in the United States, Haskol University. Another school, which is what makes Lawrence so lively today, is the University of Kansas.

The University of Kansas, the traditional giant in the Big 12 League, basketball has been inseparable from the school since birth.

Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, coached at the University of Kansas, and Wilt Chamberlain, an ancient mythical beast that only existed in legends, began his legendary basketball career at the University of Kansas. If you want to name a closer one, current Celtics star Paul Pierce is also from this school. There have been too many basketball legends at the University of Kansas, and who can guarantee that the few lads on the Jayhawks team today won't be part of the legend in the future?

But after all, the record was only set by those predecessors, and Riccard no matter how glorious the past of the University of Kansas was, he now has only one idea, and that is to take this giant family off the horse!

The Iowa State University bus drove into the University of Kansas campus early, and as a worthy opponent, the Whirlwind team was also enthusiastically "followed" by the away fans. Countless middle fingers and insults appeared outside the glass window of the school bus, as if the crowd of fans would rush to the bus as soon as the bus opened, tearing the Cyclone players apart. After the bus pulled into the underground parking lot, which only the players could enter, the ears of the Whirlwind players finally calmed down.

"Looks like we're very popular. "Mike Taylor just kept wearing headphones in the car, otherwise he would have to be noisy to death.

"Alright, now hurry up to the locker room to change clothes and warm up, you won't have an easy night tonight. Rickard waved at the front of the crowd.

"Hey! Darrell!"

Oh, I'm sorry. Hearing Chalmers' loud shouts, Darrell Arthur came to his senses and continued his warm-up. Arthur had been staring at the yellow-skinned guy on the opposite court for a long time, and he had never worried about any opponent in his heart, but this Chinese kid was different, he was indeed strong enough.

"An Jie, that kid on the other side seems to be very jealous of you. Mike Taylor also observed Arthur's strangeness.

"That's right, if I'm taken care of, I'm sure you won't waste your chance. "Anjie never considered himself the boss of the team, the star of the team. He is more than willing to give up his shot as long as the team needs it.

"Looks like he's in good shape today. The bearded man sat in the third row, he didn't expect An Jie to give him such a good position, just looking at the mark on the ticket, he thought it was the third row from the bottom. Who knew if I found it, I would sit in the front row.

Catherine didn't answer, she just quietly looked at An Jie, who was shooting on the court, hoping that the tall and thin boy wouldn't get injured today.

When the players on both sides were called back to the locker room by their coaches for final deployment, the atmosphere on the scene eased a little. But all this is just to accumulate energy for the explosion after more than ten minutes.

"Tyler! I want you to stick to Chalmers every step of the way! He's the heart of the Jayhawks' offense, and you can't even pass the ball comfortably. ”

"I don't need to say more, you also know what to do, as soon as that Chinese gets the ball, you will give me a clip! Force him to pass the ball, you must not let him have a chance to play alone on the inside!"

"They will definitely take care of An Jie, so you have to give me a fast run around him, there is a gap I believe An Jie can pass the ball, when the time comes, this is the opportunity!"

"Chalmers, you're forbidden to be involved in the bag, I want you to follow that Mike Taylor all the time. As long as An Jie can't pass the ball to his hands, then the offensive power of the Whirlwind team will be more than half small!"

Coaches on both sides are hurrying to make the final arrangements.

"Alright, one last game, let's go March Madness!" Ricard smashed another tactical board.

"We're the University of Kansas! Look at the jerseys and the pennants that represent honor on the court, victory has always been our tradition, go out and beat the opponent back to square one!" the head coach of the University of Kansas also pushed open the locker room door.

The University of Kansas fans saw their players rush out of the tunnel and burst into a cry that burst their eardrums. They are just one step away from popularizing March Madness. When a traditional wealthy family meets a new dark horse, they must have the last laugh. The flames in the hearts of the Jayhawks players are also burning.

However, a whirlwind is coming! All flames can be extinguished!
