(I know you haven't seen it, so why don't you have another chapter?????? ）

The head coaches of the two teams battled wits and courage off the field, and the players on both sides of the field were even more inseparable.

The last time the Blue Devils attacked, Sun Yi chose to break into the interior after finding that there was no good long-range shooting opportunity, but he didn't expect to fall into the opponent's heavy encirclement, especially the opponent's interior defensive core, and Noah, who had a ponytail on his head, put great pressure on him.

The No. 8 player of the Blue Devils, who had nowhere to hide in the air, had to barely throw the ball in his hand. As a result, he was still covered by the captain of the University of Florida with his fingertips and ate his first block in the game.

But the proud Chinese player immediately hit back at his opponent in defense. The crocodiles attacking in the position were responded by Noah with the ball in the high post, followed by Sun Yi, who kept running without the ball, Humphrey, and took advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness when passing Noah. Stretching out his long arms like lightning, as he has done countless nights in the Duke University table tennis arena, he pulled the ball straight out of the opponent's hand.

The sudden turn of events left all the Gators players too late to react, and they could only watch as the Chinese player wearing the Blue Devils' No. 8 jersey wreaked havoc on the basket in the empty half of the game.

Sun Yi's domineering tomahawk split not only boosted the team's momentum, but also made him, who was very depressed in this game, vent fiercely.

……

"Wow! Handsome is dead! I can be his girlfriend, I am willing to do anything! A female fan wearing the No. 8 jersey of the Blue Devils said to her companion with a smile on her face after seeing Sun Yi's fast-break dunk.

Tamara. Abald looked at his friend, and then at the Blue Devils player on the pitch who was raising his arms and shouting, "Isn't it just a player who looks okay, as for it?" ”

After saying this, Tamara regretted it a little, because she is also a basketball player, and in order to improve her strength, she traveled thousands of miles from her hometown Spain on the other side of the Atlantic to the United States, which is known as the center of world basketball.

The seventeen-year-old is currently studying in the preparatory program at Lamar University in Houston and is preparing to enter the NCAA women's basketball tournament next year. Born in the port city of Vigo in northwestern Spain, Tamara has long brown hair like Mediterranean waves and a snow-white camisole, revealing her delicate lines. Representing healthy sun-kissed skin, her delicate facial features are more wild and seductive. And the high bridge of the nose and the big eyes that can talk will remind people of the innocence of the girl next door in childhood. The Latin girl with these two temperaments in one is simply a peerless stunner that men dream of......

"Tamar, seriously, if you can be together, it will really be a match made in heaven." The companion next to him is Tamara's first friend after coming to the United States, and he is also the best friend. I came here to watch the game today because my friend is a fan of the No. 8 player of the Blue Devils. Of course, under the influence of her companions day and night, this Spanish girl is also full of interest in the most eye-catching oriental guy on the field.

Oh! Don't get me wrong, the little girl is just interested in the protagonist's elegant ball style. After all, Tamara is also a professional basketball player.

"I'm not interested." The Latin girl who took a sip expressed her disdain for the Chinese player. In fact, after watching the Chinese players of the Blue Devils team for the first time under the recommendation of a friend, Tamara was attracted to the Chinese player who was free on the field. The kind of free and elegant oriental temperament based on super personal ability makes this Spanish girl admire. Even, I watched the video of Sun Yi's game in high school.

However, in the heart of the proud and beautiful Latin girl, it is clear that she does not think that this oriental guy is the prince charming of her dreams, because he is not strong enough!

But I don't know what's going on today, when she came to the scene for the first time to watch him play up close, Tamara was surprised to find that there were so many fans, all cheering for every wonderful performance of that oriental guy, and an inexplicable feeling rose in her originally calm heart, especially that many of them were like companions as nymphomaniacs, which made this Latin beauty who lived under the applause of flowers unhappy. What, I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect it...... Hum!

Girl's mind, boy, don't you guess......

Sun Yi, who was focused on the game on the field, didn't have the time to be distracted by a small episode that happened in the audience that he didn't know. The core of the Blue Devils, who have been preparing for this game for a long time, absolutely cannot accept any kind of outcome other than victory.

……

"Time is running out in the first half, and the University of Florida has one last chance to attack."

……

"Horford received a pass from Green and shot straight in front of McRoberts. Oh! It's a pity, it's just a little bit. Well, the first half of this semi-final match is over, and the two teams are tied at 32. Reggie, Steve watched the first half of the game, what do you two think? Nantz threw out the question he had been preparing for a long time.

"Cruelty, this game gives me the feeling of cruelty. I really didn't expect to see such a high-intensity confrontation in an NCAA game. "Miller was clearly blown away by the intensity of this game." Judging from the score, the strength of the two teams is indeed between the two teams. Still, I have a little more confidence in Duke. ”

Nantz reacted quickly and immediately took the other party's words. "Why? Is it because of that Chinese player? ”

"Hmmm! Something like this. Although Duke's No. 8 played mediocre in the first half, I still want to believe that he can take over the game in the final moments. Sun Yi's statistics in the first half were really average, shooting 3 of 9 and only scoring 8 points, but the rebounds were close to double digits under the protection of his teammates.

"Steve, what do you think?"

Cole, who had been looking at the technical statistics in his hand, said without raising his head: "Although the two teams did a very good job in limiting each other's advantages in the first half. But Duke University seems to be in trouble, with two of their main interior players, McRoberts and Zobbek, picking up two and three fouls, respectively. If the University of Florida stepped up their interior offensive in the second half, the Blues could well get into foul trouble. As Kerr said, Duke's young freshman center received a senseless foul on a defensive outfit that forced the coaching staff to replace Zobeek, who had accumulated three fouls, with Boykin. Although he was successful in defending Noah, the young game experience still made the NCAA rookie suffer. And Boykin's appearance gave the Gators captain a chance to prove himself again. Noah, who has a height advantage, swept the last six points of the first half of the team.

"However, whoever wins this game has a very good chance of winning this year's NCAA championship." Cole's bold predictions have rarely been seen before, and it seems that he is not very optimistic about the quality of the other semi-final team.

……

In the dressing room of the Blue Devils, Sun Yi changed into a new and dry jersey, and then sat quietly in front of the cabinet and listened to his teammates' comments about the first half of the game that had just ended.

"That guy Green is too fast, if you have a chance, you can help me delay him, don't let that kid shoot a three-point shot easily." In and Taolin. Paulus was very much consumed in Green's matchup, and he complained to his teammates with a depressed face.

"Hmmm! Good. Bryan, watch your fouls in the second half. Don't take your shot lightly, be sure to stand in your defensive position. After replying to his teammates, McRoberts reminded Zobeck again.

In fact, among the Blue Devils' starters, Henderson was undoubtedly the most depressed. finally won the trust of the coaching staff in such an important game, but I didn't expect him to mess up. Since McClure replaced him, Brewer, who hit three long-range shots in a row from the Gators, suddenly went silent. This situation made him fall into all kinds of self-denial.

Sun Yi, who had been silent, wiped the sweat on his head with a towel, and finally spoke: "Dema, what is the score now?" How many points did we lose? ”

DeMarcus, who didn't get much playing time in this game. Nelson, who was suddenly confused by his teammate's question, subconsciously replied: "32 to 32, deuce!" ”

"Deuce? Then how do I feel like I lost? Sun Yi unconsciously walked to the middle of the locker room, and swept his teammates in the room with a resolute gaze. The opponent is the champion of the previous edition, the first team to defend the title, but today we didn't make them do the same? ”

Sun Yi, who was talking, laughed out loud as if he had thought of something funny......

All the Blue Devils players opened their eyes wide and looked at their teammates who usually didn't talk much. Is this guy crazy? But don't do it, without him in the second half of the game, it's still hairy......

Just when all his teammates were puzzled, Sun Yi gradually stopped laughing. "I'm fine, I'm not crazy!" Call! A relieved exhalation sounded, causing the Chinese guy to roll his eyes. "Just now I suddenly thought that the opponent would not be angry and scolded his mother by our tenacious performance in the first half at halftime."

Ha ha......! The solemn atmosphere in the locker room was blown away by Sun Yi's somewhat nonsensical joke. Coach K, who had just finished discussing the strategy for the second half with the coaching staff, saw all the scenes that had just happened through the crack in the door.

Smack! "Guys, I'm proud of your performance in the first half. Now, I'm going to lay out the tactics for the second half......" The legendary Duke coach who pushed the door in, attracted everyone's attention with applause, and the old man's face revealed an extremely strong confidence, infecting the Blue Devils in every locker room......

"Sam, you've had good luck with the SuperSonics this year. Oh, and I'm not referring to your record, but to say that this year's draft is of high quality. Spurs vice president R.C. Buford and SuperSonics general manager Sam Plestie, who sat together to watch the game, took advantage of the halftime break to talk about their respective jobs.

"Teacher, the final signing has not yet been decided, and no one knows whose luck is." In fact, Pleist's remarks were completely polite, and with the SuperSonics' record this year, there is no problem in locking up the top three draft picks.

"Haha, Sam, you've been with me for a long time." With his thick-bottomed glasses, Buford looked like a college professor, and he clearly knew his proud protégé very well.

"Okay, teacher. If I can get a better signing, I will be so excited that I can't sleep. The young jealous general manager of the supersonic team confessed with an embarrassed face.

"Actually, you don't need to do this, we don't have any stakes, at least this year." The Spurs, who are third in the West, are obviously unlikely to get a draft pick in the lottery zone. "If you can pick the captain of the Blue Devils in the second half of the first round, or the little guy from the crocodile with a headband, you will be very lucky." It seems that the purpose of Buford's visit to the game is clear, with the emptiness of the team's power forward position and the aging of the small forward personnel, the Spurs, who continue to replenish fresh blood, have set their sights on the two people Buford just mentioned. It's just that McRoberts hasn't made it clear that he wants to participate in the draft. And with Brewer's outstanding performance in the round of 64, his draft ranking has also risen. "Sam, I mean, if the SuperSonics were to get the No. 1 pick this year, who would you choose as the cornerstone of the rebuilding team?"

Faced with the teacher's direct inquiry, Priest had no choice but to truthfully say what he was thinking. "If those three freshmen were to participate in the draft at the same time this year, I think I'd pick Greg. Oden. ”

Buford's answer didn't seem to surprise him, but his smile wasn't so simple. "Sam, I'm sure 99% of NBA general managers would pick that once-in-20-year big man as the top pick. However, "Buford's meal lifted Priest's spirits.

"Haven't you noticed that all the rules in the league since the Jordan era have changed in favor of outside players? The three-point line is getting shorter, the elbow is not allowed when defending, etc., which players are most advantageous and which players are becoming more and more disadvantageous? Think about it. ”

The teacher's words made the general manager of the supersonic team, who was in a high position at a young age, fall into deep thought. "I see." Thoughtful, Presti's mind was very quick, "Thank you, teacher. Your mention is worth a thousand dollars. ”

"Haha, you don't have to repay me like that. If you don't mind, I'm just a little curious about the top three in your mind. Buford quipped to his students as he drank the Coke he was holding.

"Greg. Oden, Kevin. Durant, Sun Yi, this is the draft ranking in my mind before. Now," after a brief muse, Priest continued: "Now, I think Kevin. Durant should be at the top of the list. ”

"Oh? It seems that you don't think much of the Chinese player at Duke, and if that's the case, you don't need to come here to watch him play this time. Buford smiled when he heard the other man's words.

"I just, just wanted to come to the scene and make sure I was judging. And, as things stand, the Chinese player hasn't shown what would convince me. ”

Hehe! He's a serious kid, but this kid is so lucky. Buford, who had been in the alliance for nearly twenty years, looked at the young disciple beside him with envy......
