After the pre-match warm-up, the players of both teams returned to their respective halves and entered the pre-match opening ceremony.

At first it was Connectn, and the fans ended up chanting the slogan "Connecticut Huskies."

After UConn, it was North Carolina.

This is definitely the most passionate opening ceremony Tang Tian has ever seen, more majestic than all previous games, or more than the opening ceremony of the NBA.

At the beginning, there was a crowd of more than 30,000 people, a scene that is usually only seen in the football World Cup, and the fans cooperated tacitly, everyone wore blue or blue T-shirts, and even the skin was dyed blue, and as the audience stood up and sat down, it really seemed like the sea was fluctuating.

When the sea of people fell, followed by the dimming of the lights on the scene, the 3D projection hit directly on the court, and the passionate music and the three-dimensional patterns rolling on the court highlighted a trench.

By the time the abbreviation of "North Carolina Tar Heel" finally hit the court, the cheers of the scene could not be stopped.

The North Carolina fans chanted the team's slogan, and the whole momentum was monstrous.

After the opening ceremony, the North Carolina players were already enthusiastic.

"Guys." Tang Tian gathered the team members together at this time.

In the previous games, the fans and the atmosphere were basically evenly matched, and even Kangda was even better, but this time it was almost an away game, and he had to do something as the captain.

"We're the dogs, yes, we are.

Our fans are the underdogs, yes, that's the reality.

Everything is very bad for us.

But!

Here's the chance! The best chance!

We beat our opponents who are stronger than us to prove that we are more worthy of this title than them.

Beat them down and suppress the cheers!

Win and recreate the glory of the Connecticut Huskies! ”

Tang Tian had poured chicken soup into his team members in his previous life, and at this time, he also made it by hand.

The mood of the Kangda team members is also rising, and they fold their hands together one by one.

"Come on!"

"Connecticut Huskies!"

As the players swung down vigorously together, the momentum of the Kangda players also came to a peak.

"Toot!"

The long whistle sounded from the sidelines as the game began, and the starters of both sides came on the pitch with confidence, and a battle of the spotlight was about to start.

On the Kangda side, in order to deal with North Carolina's double-high interior line, the interior line is still Oriage and Ollander, the guard is the dual point guard of Walker and Napier, and the small forward Tang Tian, Lamb did not start this game.

After Tang Tian came on the court, he looked at North Carolina, and the five NBA-level players were all present.

Center: Tyler Zeller, 2.13 meters, excellent mobility of the frame type inside, excellent defense, accurate mid-range shooting, 17th pick in the first round in 2012.

Power forward: John Hansen, 2.11m, with a strange reach, excellent athleticism, strong finishing ability, was the 14th pick in the first round in 2012.

Small forward: Harrison Barnes, 2.03m, an all-round star small forward with no technical shortcomings, the absolute top three in this year's election, the No. 7 pick in 2012.

Shooting guard: Reggie Bullock, a 2.01-meter swingman, tall, athletic wing, offensive and defensive, 2013 first-round pick 25th pick.

Point guards: Kendall Marshall, a 1.93-meter tall point guard, NCAA's Rondo, is an incomparably accurate passer, a 13th pick in the first round in 2012.

These five people were all first-round picks in their previous lives, and their talents exploded.

This is also the reason why North Carolina will be favored by so many people this year, you can't even fight for the strength on paper, let alone the tactical literacy as a super famous school.

The only downside may be that they are relatively young and the consistency of the game needs to be improved.

But Kangda is younger than them!

Just like the smile on Jordan's face, the fans at the scene had absolute confidence that North Carolina would advance to the elite quarterfinals.

Jumpers from Oriage and Hansen, Hansen turned the ball back into the half court amid the cheers of the fans, and North Carolina had the opportunity to take the lead.

Marshall's ball in the frontcourt, Barnes and Bullock's movement around the pick-and-roll in the frontcourt.

Completely different from the University of Arizona, although there are strong points, North Carolina has always played team basketball, and tactics are king.

Tang Tian chased after Barnes and didn't give him an easy chance to catch the ball, but Bullock on the other side ran out of the opportunity, received a fake shot and passed to Zeller under the basket, Zeller accelerated and leaned on Oriarch to shoot, this ball showed his speed talent undoubtedly.

The cheers of the North Carolina fans at the scene were about to burst out.

"Bang!"

But with a slap, Oriage directly gave Zeller a pegboard hat!

Walker saw it and grabbed the ball and scrambled with Bullock, and the referee finally awarded the scrum.

The NCAA scrum rules are different from the NBA, and the scrum is exchanged for the ball, because the jump ball is won by North Carolina, and the ball is also exchanged to the UConn side.

Walker was pulled up by Tang Tian and Lamb, and the UConn fans at the scene burst into cheers.

North Carolina is more talented, but Kangda's hard work is beyond imagination!

Walker's possession of the ball, without any tactical movement, the players all opened up space, and let Walker play Marshall.

Changing direction, changing direction again, cross-stepping to crotch, lowering the center of gravity and then suddenly starting up, Marshall couldn't keep up with Walker's rhythm at all.

Walker burst into the interior with the ball, Zeller pounced to help defend, Walker glanced at Oriaki under the basket, and took advantage of Zeller's hesitation to lean directly on him for a tough layup.

"Bang!"

The ball hit the rebound and fell into the net, and Walker opened the scoring for UConn!

The cheers of the UConn fans continued unabated.

Just like Tang Tian said when he was in the supermarket, Walker can completely blow up Marshall one-on-one, and Cajon is also very aware of this, what tactics can be used to waste physical strength!

North Carolina's offense, the same tactical positioning.

However, amid Ollie's shouting on the sidelines, Kangda defended tightly this time and did not give North Carolina the same chance as the previous round.

The ball finally reached Barnes's hands, and Barnes hit Tang Tian with the ball on his back, and his teammates all pulled away.

If the tactics don't come out of the way, they can only rely on the individual ability of the stars.

Barnes didn't push Tang Tian by hitting him twice.

Although he was 2 centimeters taller than Tang Tian, he weighed 5 kilograms less than Tang Tian, so he couldn't beat at all.

He changed from the back basket to the face frame, and accelerated the dribble in cross-step, but Tang Tian always clinged to it and did not give it a chance.

In fact, for Tang Tian, it is much easier to defend against Barnes than Williams, Barnes seems to be all-powerful, but for him who does not have an absolute advantage like Williams, he can completely block the opponent.

Barnes didn't have a chance to break through, so he turned around and leaned back, but Tang Tian grabbed the position well and reached out to interfere.

"Bang!"

Barnes' leaning shot is deflected.

The continuous attack after the opening of North Carolina did not work!
