"Aaron, is that Rodman?" Tadashi Yamada patted Aaron on the shoulder.
"Well, it's really him." Alan. Iverson followed Yamada's line of sight and immediately spotted a certain guy with bright hair.
"Why did he come here, he wasn't in Texas, how did he run to Windsor."
"Live across the United States today." Aaron winked at Yamada Zhong, and his eyes signaled: You know.
“... Oops, the whole United States live broadcast or something, suddenly a little excited. Yamada Tadashi was immediately shocked when he heard this, why didn't anyone talk to me, alas.
Aaron shook his head and walked forward with the team speechlessly, "Anyway, I'm here to watch you play, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
Hearing Aaron say this, Yamada Zhong immediately looked at Mitsui on the side, Mitsui rubbed his eyes twice, and said: I just woke up from a nap, and I don't know very well.
"That's our Jordan? Doesn't it look good? ”
"I don't know what the strength is, I don't think it's too bad, right?"
"I don't know what the New York Times thinks, Jordan's name can be borne by anyone?"
For a while, there was a lot of talk at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Stadium, and the trio in the TNT live broadcast seat was also quite surprised.
TNT (Turner Television Network) was broadcasting the game live to the nation, and they also brought in the NBA's top blue-collar star Dennis Brown. Rodman. Well, in fact he is and Bo. Povich asked for leave when he didn't get along (did he?) Special guest to do here.
"Rodman, as the best guy to defend Jordan, about Wake Forest's Yellow. Jordan, what do you think? ”
"Huang. Jordan? Rodman glanced at the corners of his mouth, revealing a suspicious smile.
"Yes, his name is... Disloyal. Yamada, yes is this name. Someone carefully looked at the list of the two teams and said.
"Just looking at his posture, walking pace, and pre-war bearing, there is no Michael at all! I don't know what they think. As for the loss of the 'k' game last year, that only proves that he is also human, and he will also take a nap, that's all. Rodman looked at the Wake Forest crowd who were entering the arena below, and said with his hands on his chest.
The on-site commentary sitting with Rodman nodded again and again, and the name of Coach K in the United States is indeed very hanging, which is also the mainstream view now and for a long time to come.
"Look, there's a good chance of winning today's game, Wake Forest or Connecticut?"
"Wake Forest." Rodman said.
"Is it because of last year's competition?"
"Yes, they performed very well last year, with a huge gap between the main group and the substitute group, they played almost the whole season of 5-10 play, and the little guys of the Devil Deacon team are very good." For the tough guy, Rodman still appreciates it, "This year they have completely retained last year's main team, but also strengthened the rotation lineup, one, maybe two good little guys..."
Well, he originally only wanted to say one, and then maybe for the sake of stability, he would change to two, as for who and who he said, he naturally understood.
"I heard that Rodney was supposed to participate in this year's NBA draft, but it didn't take shape, what do you think?"
"Obviously, he wants to win an NCAA championship and then enter the draft, which adds a heavy weight to his draft." Rodman said that a hint of jealousy suddenly flashed on his face? Having only won the NAIA championship, he does have the right to be jealous.
In fact, the real situation is not much different from what Rodman thought, the original plane: on June 30, 1993 in the NBA draft held in Auburn Hills, Michigan, he was picked by the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the 9th place, and at that time he only led the team to win the NCAA Championship round of 16 (1993) once, and nothing else. So what now? In the spring and summer of 1993, his team finished in the semi-finals of the tournament, and although he was not fighting alone this time, his strength was more comprehensive and thorough, and perhaps this time he showed his weaknesses. (An efficient three-point shooter, his key shot needs to be improved?) )
Of course, as a person's statement, it is a different situation: because the credits are not enough, so I study for an extra year.
Regardless of the truth, he chose to stay with the team this year and did not participate in this year's draft, which is the actual situation.
........
The two teams warmed up...
"Stephen, is that Ray Allen?" Yamada Zhong, who leaned against the captain with his back, asked casually, and then turned over directly while someone behind him was distracted.
Swish!
"You! ... Forget it, that guy will only score three points, okay, his three points are quite accurate, okay. "Tricked! Although it was only for a moment, it was deadly enough, and a certain captain who was bored just stepped forward and stretched out his hand to symbolize that he landed, and then he replied in a complaining tone to Yamada Tadaichi who had landed, and then he told the truth honestly under Yamada Tada's playful eyes.
The captain's personality is quite easy to grasp, this is what Yamada Zhong thought at this time when he saw Stephen honestly telling the truth, and then Yamada Zhong turned his head to look at a certain shooter wearing a No. 34 blue jersey on the other side with an excited look on his face.
Today's game was interesting!
This is indeed the case, someone observed the opposite Kang Da lineup with the corner of his eye in the half-deserted warm-up drill just now: looking at the familiar big man with a height of about 2.1 meters, he looked a bit like Kobe's No. 40 brother (98-00), looked like No. 42 (02-04) who had teamed up with Crawford, a convulsioner, and the sharpshooter he mentioned just now - Ray. Allen, who probably brushed the No. 12 (04-08) of the regular season with Iverson, Webb, and Iguodala, and may have taken care of the water cooler for Dumas and Hill. Well, the above is all the information about Kangda that Yamada Tadashi saw with his identity, and then again, Randolph-Childis seems to be... It's supposed to be a Wake Forest player! When he was young, he wasn't the full-time passer of the Flying Demon King?! Every time the big demon king flew into the sky, the basketball came out of his hand, and now how did he go to the other side?
In fact, there is really his cause and effect here, and Coach Dave, who was originally unavailable on the team, may really recruit him, but Dave didn't go to him, but found a better civilian MVP-Chauncey, and someone who has nowhere to go can only find Kang Da, who only promised to give part of the scholarship, who called Kang Da to be a shooter, and he had to take this path that seemed to be the most suitable for him.
........
Coach Dave's starting lineup for this game was as he had previously considered: Ben. Wallace, Tim. Duncan, Rodney. Rogers, Stephen. Jackson, Chauncey. Billups, as a first-year newcomer, Tadashi Yamada, Aaron. Iverson, Mitsui Shou and others sat firmly on the bench. For this game, Coach Dave said to everyone very bluntly: play as hard as you can, and make substitutions when you run out.
Opposite UConn coach Jim. Cajon line-up the starters: Travis Knight, Don Yell Marshall, Ray Allen, Kevin Ollie, Randolph Childis, and as for the rest of the bench... Yamada Zhong really can't recognize it now, and if you want to look at it, you are naturally scum.
At the same time that Yamada Tadashi vigorously glanced at the opposite bench, as the referee threw the basketball high in the court, the atmosphere of the stadium immediately became hot, and the originally noisy arena was immediately filled with neat cheers, Wake Forest vs Connecticut, officially began.
