Chapter 20 NCAA

(Friends who like this book help collect it, and those who have recommended tickets can smash it at me!) )

Today, the skies in Chicago are blue, and even more rarely, the cold winds that have ravaged the entire winter are gone. Bang Bang Bang ...... After a rush of dribbling, whew! There was a crisp grinding sound from the nets.

After the jump shot, Sun Yi did not stop his steps. Go straight to the basket and catch the basketball that just fell. Sweat ran down the well-defined jaw, and the massive loss of moisture made the rosy lips a little dry.

Sun Yi, who wiped off his sweat and was about to continue practicing, suddenly heard the sound of a car outside the house. Hurriedly threw away the ball in his hand and ran out of the courtyard like a fly. The orange basketball bouncing on the ground seemed to be an unwilling protest against the moody teenager.

Anna, who returned from a vacation with her family, struggled along the way. The scene that happened in the park that day broke the girl's heart, and now I think about it is still a grievance.

Although there is a blue sky and a blue sea every day, the scene in the girl's eyes is always the scene of the tall and thin boy standing alone in the cold wind howling in Chicago.

After more than ten days, as time passed, the source of longing in my heart continued to impact the tenderness in the girl's heart. In the midst of such contradictions, the car unconsciously came to a familiar neighborhood.

Anna, who had cleaned up her mood, straightened the hair in front of her forehead and looked up, only to see the young man who had been thinking for a long time standing in front of her door panting, looking at her eyes full of tenderness. The girl was stunned for a moment, and immediately covered her mouth, for fear that she would cry.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that all the grievances these days were nothing. As long as you can see him every day, no matter how hard it is, you will be willing.

Sun Yi watched this girl who made him love and pity come to him, and embarrassedly grabbed the messy broken hair on the top of his head with his hand.

"You, you're back."

"Hmm."

"Did you have fun?"

"It's fine."

"Well, I—I miss you."

"Huh?" Anna finally lifted the wonderful eyes that had been looking at her feet, and her delicate face turned red after a moment.

"I ...... that day" Sun Yi, who finally mustered up the courage, wanted to tell her the apology that he had prepared for a long time.

"Hey! Xiao Yi, that day Anna invited you to go on vacation with us, why was you refused. Haha, I must regret it now. "Charlie. Brooke said to Sun Yi with a hearty smile. Clearly, Mr. Lubuk was pleased with his Hawaiian vacation.

It turned out that she was looking for me that day because of ...... Look what I've done.

Anna leaned slightly and sniffed in the air with a wrinkled nose, as if looking for something to smell. This cute action interrupted Sun Yi, who was in extreme guilt.

"Stinks to death, hurry back and wash and change clothes. I'll come to my house later, and I'll bring you a gift. Looking at the smiling and beautiful girl in front of him, the young man was instantly lost in this gorgeous tenderness.

March, the season of revival and spring blossoms. For every American who loves basketball, it's the most anticipated season of the year.

NCAA March Madness – a carnival for all American basketball fans. Whether it is the degree of attention or the strong ability to attract money, it is far beyond the NBA, a commercial league.

Americans generally have a college complex, which has a lot to do with the country's immigration history. Often, the previous generation or even previous generations of an American did not have a permanent place to live, and moving for various reasons is really commonplace.

An American has to go through from birth to adulthood, and the child, elementary school, and middle school will move because of the change of parents' jobs, and one or two relocations during this period are considered rare. After graduating from college, finding a new job, then getting married and having children. My own children are still going through this as much as I do. So, Americans rarely have a hometown complex.

However, in the past four years of college, every student has been in a stable area. Over time, every American will keep this place that leaves a beautiful memory of life in the bottom of their heart, which is also the American college complex.

Even after these students are employed, they will pay special attention to their alma mater. Regardless of whether the partner you meet in the workplace, shopping mall, or political arena is an alumni, there is basically no trust problem, just like the "hometown" of our country.

Eighty-five percent of Americans have a college education, so it's no surprise that most Americans are getting the attention of most Americans at this college sports extravaganza.

The NBA is a business league, and it must guarantee the return of every investor. So, the NBA playoffs have become a long, smelly soap opera.

The NCAA round of 64 is a tiebreaker, which makes the game suspenseful and exciting. Which event is the world's largest sport football, the most watched football World Cup final, the Champions League final, etc., and the final is not a winner?

Another thing that differs from the NBA is that all NCAA basketball players don't have any commercial overtones. There are no salaries, advertisements, endorsements, or any other money-related activities. Even if you receive an item of more than a certain value, you will be punished by a ban. So, basketball here is more pure.

There is so much to say, just one meaning. The NCAA round of 64 is the most watched basketball game in the United States.

LeBron. James -- Hailed as the best high school player in American basketball history -- was sitting in front of the television watching a headband, corn-braided and No. 15 jersey. His eyes were full of envy, unwillingness and expectation.

The high school basketball star, who has long been a household name, just signed a huge endorsement contract with Nike Inc. for seven years and $90 million. The contract will take effect after the NBA draft.

The college basketball he longed for gradually left him.

Looking at the man on TV who was hailed by the media as "LeBron's lifelong enemy" - Cameron. Anthony, in the NCAA arena, is full of unwillingness.

A year ago, St. Vincent's led by the already invincible LeBron. St. Mary's High School vs. Cameron. Oak Hill High School, a basketball school led by Anthony. It was a classic battle that is still being celebrated eight years later, with more than 20,000 people in attendance, and ESPN broadcast the high school century battle live to 1.7 million homes across the United States.

LeBron, Cameron who scored 36 points. Anthony scored 34 points. But the victory of the game belongs to Oak Hill High School. The contest between these two geniuses caused a sensation across the country.

LeBron has been looking forward to meeting this lifelong enemy again in the ring since this match. It seems like there's no chance in the NCAA, but I'll be waiting for you in the NBA.

April 7, 2003, Super Egg Stadium, New Orleans, Louisiana. The 70,000-capacity stadium is full.

"02-03 NCAA Finals, Cameron. Anthony's Syracuse University team played against Nick. Collison and Cork. The University of Kansas ...... of Hinrich's super-backcourt duo "The voice of the commentator came from the TV.

In the past 20 days, Sun Yi has been completely immersed in this exciting and pure basketball event, and has even replaced the basketball temple in his mind - American professional basketball.

Anna sat quietly on the side, accompanying the big boy beside her. A pair of affectionate eyes, staying on Sun Yi for far more time than in the ball game on TV.

Since the Anna family returned from vacation, the relationship between the two children has been growing rapidly. Although under the strict supervision of the parents of both sides, nothing has happened in the ordinary. But there is always a sparse in Baimi, and the girls and boys who are tired of being together every day will inevitably not be in the romance of the flower before the moon and the moon, kissing and getting tired, touching and scratching.

At this moment, Sun Yi's attention was completely attracted by the No. 15 player wearing an orange jersey on TV. Cameron. Anthony, who led the little-known team of Syracuse University, went all the way through the hurdles and slashed all the giants to reach the finals.

The Knife is full of traditional powerhouses, defeating No. 6 seed Oklahoma State University in the round of 32, Sweet Auburn University in the round of 16, defeating No. 1 seed Oklahoma University in the West in the elite quarterfinals, and finally defeating the University of Texas, No. 1 seed in the Central and West Region in the semifinals.

Physically and technically well-rounded Cameron. Anthony averaged a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, which is extremely rare among freshmen.

In this ultimate showdown with the University of Kansas, from the beginning of the game, the opponent focused on encircling this capable Syracuse core. He couldn't make two consecutive shots, and found that he didn't feel good today. began to use the opponent's bag on him, and frequently sent wonderful passes to assist his teammates to score.

Once you relax your defense against Cameron, you will immediately invite the opponent to deal a fatal blow. The University of Kansas struggled through this torturous first half in such a situation of gain and loss, trailing by 11 points at 42:53.

Cameron. Anthony was under the care of the opponent's focus, and still got 10 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the half. The first NCAA championship in Syracuse history beckoned to them.

In the second half, the situation changed, and Nick. Collison and Cork. Hinrich suddenly came out of nowhere, widening the deficit to four points with 16 minutes played.

The Super Egg Stadium, which can accommodate more than 70,000 people, was ignited by this exciting competition scene. The deafening cheers made the players on the field unable to hear their teammates at all.

At this suffocating critical moment, the No. 15 player, dressed in orange, first made a three-point to calm down some impetuous teammates.

Immediately in the opponent's counterattack, causing Nick. Collison made a mistake and made a steal. A dragon fast attack basket dunk, once again widened the difference to 9 points.

At the last moment, Syracuse University was at Cameron. Under the leadership of Anthony, they united and held on to the final victory under the desperate counterattack of the opponent, defeating the opponent 81-78 and successfully reaching the top.

At the end of the game, all the players and coaches pounced on the man who brought them the championship. Cameron. Anthony also deservedly won the title of MOP of the Best Player of the Final Four. And as a freshman, he led the team to a championship that is forever recorded in the history of the NCAA and Syracuse University.

This exciting picture was firmly attached to the young Sun Yi's mind, and became one of the driving forces for his continuous improvement in the future.
