What Li Zhen didn't expect was.

The two Florida players interviewed on TNT on TV didn't have the slightest hint of bad words, and unlike all their previous opponents, they even had a bit of a casual feel.

"I watched the Stanford game. They played very passionately and excitingly. I appreciate Bruce Lee's ability to control the game, even though he's not as strong as other guards, and his basketball IQ makes it all up. Watching him play is a pleasure to watch. He always makes passes in unexpected ways. ”

"And he's so handsome. Outside the court, he often heroically saves the beauty (Noah's laughter, haha), and he is a college student who was admitted to Harvard. If I were a girl, I would scream for him and be obsessed with him. ”

Al Horford said seriously in front of the camera.

This made the Li family couple in front of the TV nod again and again, it seems that not all of them are reckless people on the basketball court!

It was Comrade Lao Li who even commented seriously: "This guy has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he is a rare handsome guy among blacks." ”

Ms. Wang Junzhu also nodded slightly in agreement.

"I have absolute respect for the Stamford Crimson, they have come a far more difficult way than us. We were the No. 2 seed from the start, and they came from the No. 64 seed. So, for the next Grand Finals, our attitude is to enjoy the game and enjoy the competition against Bruce Lee. ”

Joaquin Noa began to play with the art of language: "No matter what, there will be no losers in this game. However, I hope we are the winners. ”

……

On April 5, 2006, Eastern time, the much-anticipated NCAA Finals officially began.

The fighting that has raged throughout March is finally coming to an end this evening.

Crowds of fanatical fans from all over the country filled Conseco Arena, and no amount of ticket prices could dampen the enthusiasm of the fans. After all... This is the liveliest event of the year in American basketball.

In order to show enough respect for the NCAA Finals, the NBA suspends the game on this day every year, so that the majority of fans can better and more attentively enjoy the top matchups in college basketball.

Both teams this year have been extremely dramatic. One is the No. 2 seed team, the University of Florida Short-Billed Gators, who have been favored since the beginning of the season.

The other is the 64th-seeded Stamford Crimson, who was not favored at all at the beginning of the season, and only then suddenly emerged to create the biggest dark horse miracle.

The two teams showed a friendship first atmosphere from the start of the game, with the main players of both sides shaking hands with each other before the opening kick-off, and Joaquin Noah even hugged Li Zhen in full view.

But what he said in his ear made Li Zhen cry and laugh: I like the song you wrote for Lindsay Lohan very much, it's amazing! You're a melody killer.

Forehead....

This embarrassed Bruce a little.

That's probably why when the whistle blew, he went to steal the basketball that Joakina Noah slapped to guard Ham Jerry, and then quickly went into the paint area to force Noah to foul Noah.

Swish!

Swish!

Lee Zhen opened the game for Stanford with 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line, which caused a large number of fans from all over Northern California to scream with excitement.

The scouts, NBA executives, and even general managers who came for the Brus nodded their heads.

In retrospect, the Florida Short-billed Alligators proved to the world why they are called a five-star team with a tough and meticulous offensive system.

The starting lineup composed of Ham Jerry, Ronny Brewer, Morse, Horford, and Noah is definitely the most luxurious combination in the NCAA, with inside and outside, defense and offense, and can play positions and run and shoot.

Stanford's players are scrappy, but... The gap in strength is still visible to the naked eye.

Swish!

Ronnie Brewer and Horford used a nice defense on the wing to get Thomson and Scott to be fooled at the same time, and then Horford used a soft jumper to send the basketball into the net.

There is no way.

This is an opponent that Stanford has never faced before, and this team has put their posture very low before the game, and they neither want to provoke nor step on Stanford's position. Moreover, their strength advantage is so strong and balanced.

Although Stanford has a strong point of Bruce Lee, it can... There are four in Florida!

How to play?

Stanford, led by Li Zhen, gritted his teeth and held out for 15 minutes. During this period, Li Zhenshan moved around, and various rapid lightning assaults could be said to have released his energy to the extreme.

This drew cheers for him, and also made the NBA clubs and sponsors who came to pay attention quietly raise the level.

However, it has not been able to drive the strength of the team as a whole.

The alligator was firmly in control of the lead and slowly widened the margin as time wore on.

With five minutes left in the first half, the margin widened to 11 points.

At the end of the first half, Stanford trailed by a whopping 16 points.

Returning from the second half, Bruce Lee made four consecutive shots from beyond the three-point line and hit two to narrow the deficit to 12 points.

However, Ronnie Brewer's three-pointer continued to widen the margin.

And so the race went on.

And then that's the end of it.

65:83。

Although Li Zhen had 24 points and 13 assists in this game. However, a loss is a loss.

He was convinced.

Just like twenty minutes later, the chairman of the NCAA committee announced for the first time that the MOP of the 2005-2006 semifinals was Li Zhenshi from the Stanford Crimson.

There was no protest on the Florida side, and although there was some astonishment, they quickly raised their hands and applauded.

However, according to the default rules, the MOP is awarded to the best player of the champion team in the two games of the Final Four.

However, Bruce Lee has just too much to shine in this year's tournament.

Moreover, his performance in my Final Four was even more remarkable, and his assist stats were far more than the point guards of the other three teams. The most important thing is that the other teams are double or even triple core, and Stanford is the one he brought to the finals by himself.

"I was expecting the NCAA to give Bruce Lee a moral style award and put him on the First Team of the Final Four. But unexpectedly, they awarded the biggest trophy of the season to the winner of the runner-up team. ”

"It's the first time in nearly a decade that the NCAA has done something like this, and Bruce has broken the unspoken rules of convention. However, I must say that Bruce Lee definitely deserves this trophy. Look at the Florida players, their applause is even louder than the Stamford players. It's great sportsmanship and I take my hat off for all of them. ”

"It reminds me of the distant year 1969. That year, the NBA awarded the Finals MVP to underdog Jerry West. ”

TNT's Earl Johnson said with emotion.

And for the majority of fans, this is indeed the best arrangement.

The best team wins the championship and the brightest player takes the MOP.

What could be more joyful?
