In the NCAA, there are always three colors in the sky: UCLA yellow, North Carolina basket and Michigan red.

As the three oldest teams in the NCAA, the competition between them has always been full of fire.

Today, North Carolina and Michigan "A Song of Ice and Fire", one is as cold as a killer, the other is as passionate as a flame, no one can predict the outcome of the game, and even ESPN gives odds of 1:1.

The University of North Carolina is famous for the birth of Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, and that stunner has become a timeless classic, and his North Carolina Blue No. 23 jersey still hangs over North Carolina Arena.

As the place where God was born, it has naturally become the yearning of many basketball teenagers, what a glorious thing it is to be able to become an alumnus with "God", and if you can put on a team uniform of the same color as Jordan and play for the same team, you can blow it for a lifetime.

Jordan will often return to his alma mater to play with his juniors, although he is now in his 60s, but his body is still handsome, and not long ago he was still playing with newcomers in North Carolina, showing the true colors of the old hooligans, and almost knocked them out of the school team.

The term "old and strong" is especially appropriate for him.

In North Carolina, players who haven't been abused by Jordan are embarrassed to say they belong to the varsity team.

Because only people with strength can enter the varsity team in North Carolina, and only those who enter the varsity team are eligible to compete with Jordan.

After some ignition of the old hooligans, the North Carolina players will win the opponent by 80 points in the first two rounds of the knockout rounds, and today they met Michigan, a team that does not lose its own history and honor, and they also won the previous games smoothly, although the point difference is not as exaggerated as North Carolina won, but it did not take much effort.

Both teams played with the most complete and powerful lineups.

From the quarterfinals, only one game was played a day, which was also to make it easier for the audience to see a more complete game, but the pace of the game was also relatively intensive, seven days a week, a total of seven games, leaving little time for the players to adjust and rest.

By the time the UCLA team arrived at the venue, the North Carolina and Michigan game had already begun, and at the end of the first quarter, the two teams played 25-25, which was about as expected, and both teams performed well on both offensive and defensive teams.

When the players sat down, the second quarter of the game officially started, North Carolina's offense played extremely smooth, and the speed of advancement was also very fast, it was clear that it was to speed up, but the Michigan side played unhurriedly, obviously pressing the rhythm, and the performance of the two teams was a little abnormal according to the reference to the previous games, or completely swapped styles and playing styles.

North Carolina's previous games were all steady and steady, and the success rate of the offense was to be fast, which is also the consistent style of play of the two teams, and now the styles of the two teams have been reversed, as if the players are wearing the wrong jerseys.

"These two teams are still trying." Oscar said slowly.

"Still trying? It's already in the second quarter, is there still a need for temptation? Felix asked.

"Look carefully at the scores of the two teams, the scores are not high, which is too different from the previous 4050 points in a single quarter, even if the opponent's strength is relatively strong, but it should not be so different, obviously both teams have not played their strength."

"When will the temptation end?"

"I'm afraid it won't be in the first half."

It is a bit exaggerated to use half-time to test each other, but it is also very much in line with the character of the coaches of both teams, who are masters of disguise, and the real hole cards must be left at the critical moment.

When strong teams meet, the victory or defeat is often in an instant, because both teams have strong scoring explosiveness, if any team can't keep up with the rhythm and falls behind, then it is likely to be taken away by a wave.

The two teams maintained their current style of play until the end of halftime, and the score was 50:50.

Although he missed the first quarter, he could roughly infer the first quarter of the game from the performances of the two teams in the second quarter, but Oscar had a hunch that the situation would change in the second half.

After a 15-minute break, the players of both teams returned to the field, and as Oscar expected, the players of both teams had changed dramatically in their form, and both teams ended their trials in the second half and found their own style of play.

North Carolina is getting more steady, while Michigan is pulling the tempo up.

The two teams' core Sain and Mayo have been fighting each other, and the scores of the two teams have been rising tightly, and the battle ended in the third quarter, with a score of 90:90, and both teams scored an astonishing 40 points in the third quarter.

But this is only the beginning of the battle between the two teams, the firepower of the two teams in the fourth quarter is even more rapid, just looking at the score in the first quarter It is difficult to imagine that the score of this game can break 100, but in the last minute, both teams scored more than 120 points.

The University of Michigan leads North Carolina 123-121.

In the last minute, the players of both teams suddenly lost their hands, including Sain and Mayo, both of whom also lost their hands, and the two teams played iron frequently, until the last attack, the two teams still maintained a 2-point difference, but the University of North Carolina held possession.

This scene seems to go back to the past, the basketball god from North Carolina also suffered the same situation that year, and the result of that game is known to all, God used his hands to finish the opponent and help the team win the championship.

Now, will the same scene play out?

It all depends on Sain's choice, he is the number one star in North Carolina and the final shot should be executed by him.

Sain's palms were sweating, he had never been so nervous, it was a decisive goal, if he didn't go home directly, he could win or go to extra time.

Sein looked up, looked at the time, and walked second by second, he wanted to end the game in the most desperate way, press the whistle, win or lose, there was no third choice.

Miracles often come out of desperation!

Mayo switched to Sain's hands, and as long as he defended this ball, Michigan could enter the division finals, and he was simply too familiar with Sain, as a three-year opponent, he had already studied Sain's style of play very thoroughly.

"Let's face it, North Carolina is coming home." Mayo verbally attacked the other while waving his arms up and down.

Sein's brow furrowed slightly, and he glanced at the time again, there were still 3 seconds left, and he had to wait a little longer.

"You're going to put on the whistle, right?" Mayo had already seen through Sein's thoughts, "You'll still be the same, leaving no way back." ”

As soon as Mayo saw Sain's expression, he knew that he had guessed right, so he pressed the defense forward, and tried to compress the space for Sain's shot, with Sain's character, he would definitely shoot three points, so Mayo focused on his three-point shot, even if the two-point shot was scored, it would go into overtime at most, with the current situation of the two teams, even if it entered overtime, it was beneficial to Michigan.

3、2、1......

"It's over!" Mayo stepped on the last second to jump ahead of Sain, so he could reach the highest point when he shot and block his shot.

Sain didn't make a move, but smiled slightly, "We all know each other too well. ”

At the last second, Sein leaned lightly on Mayo's body and then shot, the basketball was interfered with and missed, but the referee's whistle blew at this time.

"Defensive foul! Three free throws! ”

Hearing this penalty, the audience and the Michigan players were blinded, and the game should be decided by the players themselves at this time, not the referee's whistle, so Michigan applied for a video replay, and the referee's penalty did not have any problems.

Sain stood on the free throw line, hit the first free throw steadily, and then hit the second, the score was tied, and when the last shot was made, Sain took a deep breath and didn't spit it out, the third free throw, not hollow, the basketball knocked on the basket, and the remaining 0.5 seconds were used up before the basketball fell into the basket.

The University of North Carolina defeated the University of Michigan 124-123, and although Sain couldn't replicate Jordan's classic last-minute kill, his clever design of the last free throw helped the team win the final victory, and if the final free throw was hollow, then it would have left Michigan with 0.5 seconds, which is enough time to create a miracle in the NCAA.

However, the ruthless Sain did not give Michigan a chance to perform miracles, and used the opportunity of the last free throw to consume all the remaining time.

The University of North Carolina received the first ticket to the top half of the finals.

Stanford University won the second half of the final by beating Kansas in an upset.
