This man named Villanueva never expected that he would still meet Wayne.

When did he first pay attention to Wayne?

It was probably his big brother Okafor who first talked to reporters about Wayne and said in passing: "My teammate Villanueva is also quite accurate with three points." ”

Since then, there have been media outlets that have compared Villaneuve to Wayne from time to time.

The following season, Villanueva won the Great East Rookie of the Year.

But when he turned his head, Wayne won the Big Twelve League regular season MVP.

Since then, Villaneuve, who has been compared to Wayne, has become less confident.

Villanueva was not a confident man in the first place.

At the age of 11, he was diagnosed with systemic alopecia, and while this would not have put his life in danger, it was near-catastrophic for a child.

The children around him always gave him all kinds of ugly nicknames and always teased him.

His height was a head taller than everyone else, making him look more like an outlier.

This once made Villaneuve very inferior, and he was even reluctant to have more contact with other children.

Because he disliked his appearance, he often wore a hat or headscarf to class.

During that time, he almost closed himself in his own world.

Later, he rediscovered himself on the basketball court.

and Lore. It wasn't until Deng won two high school state championships and was named to the McDonald's All-Star team with Paul that he became a high-profile basketball star, and Veranineuve's mental health got back on track.

But at heart, Villanueva is still a sensitive and unconfident person.

At least that's the case for now.

He's really, really worried that people will point fingers at him after Wayne blows him up, and the scouts will be disappointed in him.

No way, who made him Charlie. The more you are afraid of something, the more you will come. What about Villanueva?

"Charlie, are you still worried?" At this moment, a large strong hand was placed on Villaneuve's shoulder.

"Hmm...... A little. Villanueva looked up and saw that it was Okafor.

Seeing Okafor, Villanueva felt a lot more relieved.

Over the course of the season, Villanueva followed Okafor through the game, and Okafor took him like a big brother.

So psychologically, Villanueva also developed a little dependence on Okafor.

With him, Villanueva has a sense of security.

"Cut, what's there to worry about? Didn't Emeka say to help you get him? Besides, even if the game is dragged into the final moments, we can't miss in a row like North Carolina. ”

Opposite Villanueva, his other teammate, Ben. Gordon smiled, then flexed his biceps.

As the king of key balls in Connecticut, Ben. Gordon even overshadowed Okafor as the No. 1 candidate in offensive firepower.

Although a short-lived quarterback, Ben. Gordon has never dropped out of the top five in a mock draft this year, which shows how impressive his offensive firepower is.

"Well, I've already spoken to Coach Jim. On the defensive end today, I'll take the initiative to play against Way.

Don't worry, Charlie, in 40 minutes, we will be in front of more than 60,000 fans in front of the stadium, as the champion! ”

Okafor smiled at Veranieva, a smile as great as Superman's.

Mr. Perfect!

Villanueva nodded obediently.

There are two big guys, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

He just needs to take advantage of the open shots as he usually does.

On the other side, in the Cowboys' locker room, Mr. Tony nervously scurried around the locker room.

Wayne looked at Tony, speechless.

It's really two people in the locker room and outside the locker room.

Every time there is a big game, it must be nervous, and it is Tony.

But no matter how nervous he is in the dressing room, whenever he is on the pitch, Tony will show his "calm and tough" image.

"Tony, stop shaking, take a break." Wayne couldn't stand it anymore.

"Aren't you nervous Wayne, Wocao, this gym boss! You say, won't we find the basket when we get on the court later!? I won't get lost when switching offenses, will I!? ”

Mr. Tony gestured as he spoke.

"No matter how big the gymnasium is, the basketball court is only that little area. Rest assured, no one will hide the basket. ”

"Uh-huh, calm, calm. Speaking of which...... It's our last college game......" Mr. Tony said, his eyes suddenly darkening.

It seems that the next sentence will say: "Awei, I can't bear you, I won't forget you." ”

Can you forget?

Those fucking weekends that were dragged out early in the morning by Wayne to go head-to-head, those nights when I practiced so hard that I couldn't stand up, and the Christmas Eve pizza!

Well, especially that pizza, Mr. Tony will never forget for the rest of his life.

It's not the little bit of money that hurts to buy pizza.

Money is not money...... The main thing is that I can't forget the simple brotherhood and the romantic Christmas Eve.

"Well, it's the last game for college. Therefore, I can't leave any regrets. Just this chance, take the championship away. Wayne touched Mr. Tony's head.

Then Old Sutton came in.

"It's over chatting time, boys, cheer up!"

As soon as Old Sutton spoke, the originally noisy locker room instantly fell silent.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you've come this far, you're no worse than any team!

I'm not going to say anything like 'it doesn't matter if you win the championship or not, just do your best.'"

We're here to win the championship!

Play like you did with Wake Forest, Illinois, North Carolina and Duke.

Go kick Connecticut's ass! ”

Wayne nodded approvingly.

yes, that's where you come here to win the championship.

Saying that "it's been a success to get to this point, just do your best in the finals", this is just a pleasure.

If you really want to have fun, you have to win the championship!

Wayne and his teammates walked out of the locker room, though it wasn't the first time they'd played in a major stadium.

But this time, Wayne really experienced what it means to communicate basically by roaring.

In a stadium that can accommodate more than 60,000 people, and there are no absences.

Speaking at a normal volume is like being muted.

"Hello audience friends, audience friends. We're broadcasting the 2003-04 season of the NCAA Finals! The two sides are Oklahoma State University and the University of Connecticut.

The starting lineup for Oklahoma State University was guard John Brown. Lucas, Tony. Allen, center Frank. Holmes, forward Joey. Graham and Chinese teenager Wayne! ”

At this time, far away in the studio in Beijing, Sun Zhengping and Xu Jicheng brought the first live broadcast of the NCAA game to Chinese fans.

Countless Chinese fans were in front of their televisions.

Today, they don't look at Yao Ming, they don't look at Mosaics, they don't look at the Lakers.

Everyone's eyes are on the Chinese player who is about to land in the NBA.

When Sun Zhengping introduced the starters, he also deliberately left Wayne last.

For the first time, Chinese fans finally saw the mysterious player named Wayne on the TV.

A star of hope that has never been heard of in China before and suddenly appeared on the other side of the ocean.

At this time, you don't care if it's the NCAA or the NBA.

Just seeing a Chinese playing in the middle of a bunch of foreigners is enough to attract attention.

As soon as Wayne appeared on the stage, he saw Zhang guiding them, and he also smiled and waved at the team of reporters from China.

The fact that this game will be broadcast live on CCTV five sets has long been known to Wayne.

In Wayne's previous life, although the NCAA had held a game in China, it had never been broadcast live on TV.

This is a historical precedent.

At this time, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me.

The pressure that Chairman Yao was under when he first entered the NBA, Wayne can feel some of it.

But after seeing his opponent, Wayne instantly forgot all about the pressure and everything.

People are right about Wayne – he is a game player indeed.

Emeka. When Okafor saw Wayne, he took the initiative to walk up with the demeanor of a general, ready to have a friendly conversation with Wayne.

Otherwise, what if he is a perfect gentleman with excellent character and learning?

It's not like some rough guy named Rashid, who is full of thoughts about how to kill Wayne.

"Wei, it's a pleasure to see you here." Okafor opened his arms, ready to hug Wayne.

"Uh...... I couldn't be happier, I'd rather have a weaker opponent. ”

"I'm ......," Okafor was speechless as soon as Wayne spoke.

This Nima, don't play cards according to the routine.

Although he accidentally told the truth, Wayne catered to Okafor and hugged him.

Anyway, more than 60,000 people watched the scene, so they have to save some face.

Wayne wasn't the kind of guy who would yell at his teammates in public.

"Ahh Paul, sitting in front of the TV, sneezed inexplicably.

Paul: Meow meow?

"You're a ...... It's straightforward enough. Okafor smiled, he had expected Wayne to be as humble as Yao Ming.

"Actually, it's good to meet you, you're the top candidate, Emeka."

"So you want to step on me?"

"There's no way, the champion doesn't send one by one. You and me, one of them has to lose, and I don't want to lose anyway. ”

"I like your candour, Way. Well, see you in the game. ”

Okafor grinned and parted ways with Wayne, but in fact, a certain fire in his heart had already been lit by Wayne.

Mr. Perfect, it's not for anyone to be bullied!

Where does Wayne dare to bully the top candidate, there is one thing to say, Okafor is in the NCAA, that is really a low-post killer.

Wayne still knows in his heart, he doesn't want to scare the air when he has nothing to do.

But after a season in the NCAA, Wayne also learned a rule of survival on the American court.

The more humble and polite you are, the more people bully you!

So, Wayne didn't show his friendliness in front of Okafor.

After the game, he had time to show his friendly side.

Twenty minutes later, the much-anticipated NCAA finals officially began.

Because of the reason why the University of Ohio reached the finals, the school directly closed for three days to facilitate the students to go to the scene to watch the game.

Brother Teddy, who has the "ability to make money", naturally sat in the front row.

It's just that...... Why is he surrounded by big men? What about the female fans who said yes?

Suddenly, the big men around him were agitated.

The race is on.

This time on the jump ball, Holmes fought for the first attack from Okafor's head.

Okafor's 2.08m height is the same as Holmes's, and athleticism has never been Okafor's selling point.

In most people's minds, the Cowboys are the underdogs.

But as soon as it started, the Cowboys' offense was extremely imposing.

Tony. Allen burst with the ball, Ben. Gordon's defense couldn't limit Mr. Tony's impact at all.

Later in the NBA, Ben. Gordon actually has some players like Crawford and Lowe.

They all have scoring ability that is not inferior to that of All-Star players, but they are limited by the huge weakness of defense, so no team will use them as a real core.

Curry and Nash, you say?

Nash's ability to lead his teammates is incomparable. Curry, on the other hand, is by no means "just" an All-Star in terms of scoring ability.

After Gordon was knocked out of the way, Tony. Allen goes straight to the box and prepares for a layup.

But at this point, Okafor rushed back to the penalty area, straightened his arms and pounced.

Okafor is averaging 4.7 blocks per game this season, more than Wayne. Therefore, Mr. Tony was still shocked that the layup action was not very complete.

The basketball slammed into the frame, and Okafor was secretly smug when he heard a loud bang from the basket.

"Good shot, Wayne dunked to score! Although his teammates didn't make the shot, he has a very keen sense of rebounding!

The Cowboys scored first and Wayne was very positive! ”

Chinese fans are so happy, Wayne has served a big dish to the champion candidate as soon as he came up.

And this momentum is not soft at all!

"Hmph, that guy ......" Okafor silently picked up the basketball and shook his head.

Since this is the case, then you have to show your hands.
