Chapter 85: 16 into 8
The University of North Carolina, founded in 1887, is a top public research university in the United States, with 16 campuses, the most famous of which is the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which was founded nearly a hundred years earlier than the University of North Carolina.
Founded in 1789, Chapel Hill was the first public university in the history of the United States, and has made a significant mark in the history of American college education.
Similarly, Chapel Hill has also made a great contribution to American college basketball and has also sent a lot of talent to the North American league.
After a period of flying, the UCLA players arrived at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in North Carolina, where they were going to play a 16-8 game.
Everyone at UCLA is full of confidence, even though the University of North Carolina is a traditional giant, with a long history of winning numerous league championships. But history is history after all, and the two star players who led the University of North Carolina to the Final Four last season have entered the North American League, and the current University of North Carolina has always lacked a core.
But the University of North Carolina still won the first place in the division this season, and won the first place in the competition in the highly competitive Atlantic League, and the historical background of the University of North Carolina still exists, which is something that UCLA must admit and must face.
This game has also attracted a lot of attention, UCLA, an old powerhouse that has re-emerged over the years, and the University of North Carolina, a traditional giant that has been flourishing for a long time, who is stronger!

Before the game, the locker room ......
"Boys, we're going to have to cheer up for this game! The University of North Carolina is very strong, I hope everyone will show their best to meet this game, the University of North Carolina is strong, but we are not vegetarians, we will also let them see our strength! β
In the locker room, Coach Chris is mobilizing before the game.
"The home of the University of North Carolina is known as the home of death, and through the precipitation of history, the number of fans at the University of North Carolina is quite large, so huge that we can't imagine it, so we must be prepared to be booed like crazy!"
The crowd nodded.
"Since we can pull the University of Oregon down, we are not afraid of him University of North Carolina, 16 into 8 we will also win, let's step into the quarterfinals, you know!"
βUCLAοΌβ
"Never give up!"
The game begins......
It's no exaggeration to say that the home stadium of the University of North Carolina is called the home of the devil, and as soon as the UCLA players stepped onto the field, the entire arena erupted in boos, making the UCLA players feel like their eardrums are going to explode.
"It's terrible!" Seeing such a big formation, Meng Xiaohao also smiled bitterly twice, "It's terrible!" I feel even scarier than our home stadium! β
Sured smiled on the side, "The Devil's home stadium is worthy of its name, which can really cause psychological pressure on many away players. β
The main color of the University of North Carolina is blue, so the audience is full of fans in blue jerseys, and the entire audience has turned into a sea of blue, because North Carolina is some distance from California, so not many UCLA fans will come here to watch the game, so Meng Xiaohao and others are really alone.
"Boys, keep your spirits, focus on defense, keep the attacking variety!"
Before the game, Coach Chris gave them a final encouragement......
The players from both sides came to the center of the field, Sarid and the center of the University of North Carolina stood in the center circle, the referee threw the ball, the center of the University of North Carolina got the ball, and the game officially began.
As one of the most famous top centers in the college league now, Sarid can even reach 100% in jump balls, but this time, the center of the University of North Carolina actually grabbed the ball on Sarid's head, which inevitably made Sarid feel a little dull.
"Is it a psychological effect?" Sarid looked at his hands, a little confused, and he suspected that he had lost his mind because of the boos from the home fans.
"Don't think about it so much, defend well!" Meng Xiaohao came to Sarid's side and patted the somewhat distracted man.
Sarid nodded.
Next, UCLA still implements its own principle of offensive diversity, a variety of offensive routines, and the University of North Carolina is a team with the most diverse offense in the college league, which is worthy of its name.
But the University of North Carolina is also the first in the Atlantic League, and the means are naturally not far behind, and they rely on their solid offense and tough defense to keep pace with UCLA.
Meng Xiaohao accelerated to break through to the inside, and then threw the ball out with a turnover jumper, but the ball bounced off the basket and popped out of the basket.
Meng Xiaohao's hand today is not good, it can't be said to be average, it's really bad, no matter how he throws, he just doesn't score a lot of goals that should be scored, which makes Meng Xiaohao a headache, and he, like Surrey, attributes the reason to the devil's home court of the University of North Carolina.
But although Meng Xiaohao's score was a little worse, he still relied on his excellent conduction to connect the team.
In today's game, although Meng Xiaohao has a bad hand, Li and Savis have a good hand, and the shooting rate outside the three-point line is also surprisingly high.
Sarid still maintains his excellent consistency, as UCLA's interior gate, he stands on the inside, and few people dare to go to the inside to make kills.
Just looked at another attack, Meng Xiaohao passed the ball out, and then relied on the running position, ran out of a very good vacant opportunity, received the pass, and threw the ball out......
But it's still iron.
Looking at the basketball that popped out of the frame, Meng Xiaohao was a little confused, this is different from his usual level, when he trained before the game, his hand feeling was also very good, why didn't it work when it came to the game? Could it be that he is going to become an iron king?
Next was another offensive round, at this time, the University of North Carolina had realized that Meng Xiaohao's condition was not good, so it strengthened its defense against Meng Xiaohao, and could let him shoot, but never let him break through.
In this way, Meng Xiaohao's breakthrough scoring method with a high hit rate was also locked, which made Meng Xiaohao even more headache.
Meng Xiaohao's state is not good, Coach Chris sees it, he initially thought that as long as Meng Xiaohao is given a period of time, Meng Xiaohao should be back in shape, but now it seems that Meng Xiaohao's state has not picked up, and in desperation, Coach Chris decided to call a timeout when the offensive round of North Carolina is over.
The University of North Carolina won the rebound and did not rush to attack, but chose to slow down and play a positional battle.
It was up to the center of the University of North Carolina to be very deep, and he reached out and wanted the point guard to pass the ball to him.
The point guard at the University of North Carolina did not hesitate, and directly hoisted the ball to the center, and after the center received the ball, he directly hit Sured with his back, with a very tough attitude.
Sarid sneered twice, in the entire American college basketball league now, in terms of physical confrontation, he has never been afraid of anyone! Just see Sarid standing in place, like an immovable king, he wants to make the center of the University of North Carolina understand what a stupid decision to hit him in the back.
The North Carolina center found that his decision was too unwise, he couldn't stand up to Sured, and he really didn't know why he did it. He had no choice but to pass the ball to the quarterback in the bottom corner.
After the quarterback got the ball, he lightly clicked on Lee, and was about to break inside, but Lee didn't shake up, and kept following the North Carolina quarterback, and finally the quarterback moved to the middle distance, and shot in the middle, but the iron was ......
Sabonis picked up the rebound, and he saw Meng Xiaohao rushing out, without any hesitation, and passed the ball to Meng Xiaohao's hand.
At this time, Meng Xiaohao, there is only one point guard in front of him, and there is only one defender in front of him, Meng Xiaohao is not afraid, although Meng Xiaohao's state is not good in this game, but one-on-one, and in the case that Meng Xiaohao has already rushed up, Meng Xiaohao is not afraid of anyone, and he believes that he has the ability to score a layup and win the score.
Meng Xiaohao didn't hesitate, facing the point guard of the University of North Carolina, he jumped up and wanted to make a strong layup......
Just listen to "Beep! The referee's whistle sounded......
