Chapter 17: Dark Horses and Wealthy Families
The 2010 NCAA Elite Quarterfinals will begin tomorrow with Pennsylvania vs. Kentucky.
There are a lot of highlights in this game, because this is a veritable battle between dark horses and giants.
Needless to say, the University of Kentucky has Wall on the outside and Cousins on the inside, and the strength is already extremely strong, but it would be a big mistake to think that Kentucky only has these two people.
You must know that this year's starting five Tigers in Kentucky were all selected by the NBA in the first round! (Kentucky is worthy of being a giant, and he is not afraid to leave a starting lineup at once)
Except for Wall and Cousins, the remaining three are not easy to deal with.
Starting point guard Eric Bledsoe, who is the blood cloth that everyone is familiar with later, is a two-way guard who is full of hard work, although he is said to be a little disadvantaged because he is too short, but Bledsoe's hard work is very good, so it is not easy to deal with.
Power forward Patrick Patterson, who is a very qualified jack-of-all-trades role, can do anything, especially his mid-to-long-range shooting is very good, and he has less pressure to play next to Cousins, so he can occasionally play good stats like 10+10.
The remaining guy is the only guy in the Kentucky five-man group who is not remembered, but this guy was also selected later in the first round, Daniel Alton, this guy may be the only parallel commodity in the Kentucky five starters (if this guy plays the starter, Patterson will have to play the No. 3 position), but in the NCAA, this guy can still make a name for himself with his height of 208cm and weight of 118kg.
It is equivalent to saying that in this game, Pennsylvania will play a starting lineup for the NBA in the future!
It's no fun!
"Han, do you think we can win?"
Penn is skeptical about whether this game can be won, for the simple reason that their average is not on the same level as the opposite side!
Maybe even Alton, who started the most dish on the other side, is a little better than the first and second brothers William and David before Penn.
How else to play? Can you still have fun?
Except for Han Miao, there is no one in the whole team who can wrestle with the opponent head-on!
"Yes, why not?"
Han Miao cheered up his teammates, although the gap between the two sides was indeed a bit big, but at this time, it was absolutely impossible to hit the morale of his own team.
What's more, miracles happen very often on the basketball court, especially when a weak team plays a strong team, and from time to time one or two people will suddenly go berserk.
What's more, Han Miao has the ability to maximize the potential of his teammates, and under his command, his teammates can theoretically exert up to 120% of their abilities, which should be able to make up for the gap with Kentucky.
"William, you are responsible for defending Eric, you have an advantage in height and weight, and you don't suffer from speed, as long as you stick to him and don't foul easily, we shouldn't suffer from scoring guards."
To tell the truth, Han Miao sometimes works well in the team, and Coach D should do a good job, but Coach D, a young rookie, sometimes does not think about the problem comprehensively, and he doesn't care about the tail, so Han Miao has to come out to finish for him.
Just like this time, although the coach arranged tactics or something, except for Han Miao, the others in the team basically didn't listen to the tactics because of their fear of Kentucky, but Coach D didn't find out about this, and it wasn't until after he left that Han Miao had to stand up and encourage all the members.
"David, what are your regular season stats, 13+12, right, what about Cousins in Kentucky? It's just 15+10, and the data of the two of you is not much worse, why are you afraid of him? Besides, that guy has a bit of a bad brain, and you're a lot smarter than him. ”
Ahem, these words are a bit against his will, this is to forcibly add confidence to David, and even do not hesitate to belittle Cousins, if Cousins hears it, that guy will probably become a brainless hot-blooded young man.
"Well, really, really?"
David himself couldn't believe it, although he felt that Han Miao's words were a little strange, but how did he feel it, it seemed to make sense.
"Yes, you have to believe in yourself, and yes, although Patterson is okay, but this guy is basically a coolie's life in Kentucky, as long as Cousins fights, Patterson is basically half useless, as long as you pay attention to his long-range shooting."
"As for Alton, don't worry about that guy, let him in if he can, and use him as the main point of attack to kill us if he has the ability."
"As for Wall, just leave it to me, I'll try to hold him back, so we still have a good chance of winning!"
……
Under the encouragement of Han Miao's words, the expressions of everyone at Penn gradually became cheerful from the solemn at the beginning, and after Han Miao finished speaking, this group of people was already like chicken blood!
"Okay, let's work together! 1, 2, 3, who we are! ”
"Quakers!!"
Well...... Although it was a fool just now, but at present, it seems that at least the effect is good, no, everyone of the Quakers was instantly excited!
"Whew~"
Han Miao let out a sigh of relief, it seems that the teammates are a group of tendon masters, and it is still relatively easy to fool.
However, what happens during the game depends on how it is played.
John Wall, no way, I have to beat you in order to unlock more badges!
The next day, the tournament hall.
Kentucky and Pennsylvania entered the market one after another, but it has to be said that Kentucky's mass base was better, and their cries when they entered completely suppressed Pennsylvania.
But because of Han Miao's "Spiritual Victory Dafa" yesterday, everyone is full of momentum now, although most of the audience is cheering for Kentucky, but the people on Pennsylvania's side have not been affected, and everyone looks very confident.
And in the audience, there are also a small number of people to see if Pennsylvania, which has achieved the miracle of "following the gram" in the first two rounds, can carry out the dark horse to the end again, and now I see that everyone in Pennsylvania is full of confidence, and these audiences also applaud them.
"Are you China Han?"
What Han Miao didn't expect was that Wall would actually come over to talk to him before the game.
"Yes, hello John."
Han Miao stretched out her hand, ready to have a more friendly opening with Wall.
However, Wall didn't pay attention to Han Miao's outstretched hand, but after taking a few deep looks at him, he turned around and left.
"What, what are you doing then?"
Han Miao was nothing, but the rest of the team didn't do it, this is naked contempt!
"Forget it, what's the problem, talk with a basketball, and besides, people do have the capital to ignore us."
Han Miao was more rational, he could feel that Wall came over just now not to provoke, but purely to see what the opponent looked like.
As for not shaking hands, it may be that he feels that his team is not worthy at the moment.
Really, why do the guys from wealthy families always have an incomprehensible arrogance?
The center forwards of both sides were ready, a whistle sounded, the referee threw the ball high, and the two big men jumped up and chased the ball at the same time, announcing the official start of the game!
Dark horse vs. giants, Han Miao vs. Wall, this scene is interesting......
