Chapter 151: Fighting against the University of Sydney varsity team
In the evening, the University of Sydney team arranged a luxurious barbecue feast for Zhang Yi and others, although it was not good to eat such a greasy thing before the game, but everyone still couldn't resist the temptation of food.
Of course, WACKER also set standards for the players, and even Zhang Yi, the king of big stomachs, endured and did not dare to eat more.
Although the game was not broadcast live on TV, Australia's largest online live broadcast platform sent reporters and cameras to follow and explain the whole process.
Basketball in Sydney is developing very rapidly, especially the basic interests of young people are cultivated so well that children of all ages can be seen playing on small courts in the streets and alleys here.
The improvement is particularly evident in the Australian national team, which is also known as the American Kangaroos because the whole team plays in the NBA.
And because of the three-overtime battle with the American Dream Team in the World Basketball Championship, they finally won the third place, which is also a microcosm of their performance in the past two years.
If there is a country that has the possibility of defeating the American basketball team, then fans who know the ball will not talk about the European team, let alone the long-lost Argentine team, and the best chance is this new Australian team.
Zhang Yi can't help it, after all, he knows that he will have to play for a while, and he has been trained by Uncle Long since he was a child to mobilize basketball players, so this is a common thing for him.
"Who is stronger in today's opponents?" He asked Vali on his phone, but the latter didn't know what was going on.
Even on the mobile phone, you can't find out the current situation of the University of Sydney team. This is because the Australian college basketball league only takes place between December and April each year.
And their rule is that a player can only play for two years in college, which forces universities that want to produce must select the best talent every year.
In the previous year, all five starters on the University of Sydney team were sophomores and were no longer available.
And the news of other people has not broken out, so it is normal for Zhang Yi to not be able to find the opponent's information on his mobile phone.
"Even if I don't know the situation this year, but in the last Australian Super League basketball league, the University of Sydney team easily won the championship, and every time it was a big score of more than 20 points."
Hearing this, Zhang Yi nodded, which means that this team is the king of its own class among the few university teams in Australia.
Although all five starters have changed, it is impossible for a team like theirs not to recruit new players.
Before the game began, Zhang Yi raised some interest.
He also began to pay attention to the news when he usually didn't pay much attention to the basketball circle, after all, he also wanted to get more attention now.
And after seeing the evaluation of him by media people in the last game, Zhang Yi made up his mind even more, personality is very important.
Because some reporters who like to hack him on weekdays also admitted his super talent after the last exchange match.
The venue for the game is the famous Bilis Basketball Stadium, which is also the usual training venue of the Australian national team.
Tonight's use of this exchange match also represents the importance of the University of Sydney.
It's just that this year's opponent has turned into a fish belly that didn't even enter the knockout round last year, which makes the officials of the organizing committee very incomprehensible.
For them, the Avengers' ten-game winning streak is not as famous as last year's Final Four.
So much so, at first, the Sydney side was very resistant to this judgment of the NCAA and pressured them to continue playing against the Duke University Blue Devils.
It wasn't until the NCAA threw out that the Bruins had beaten the all-main Blue Devils in the game that the opponent was surprised to decide to accept the game.
Of course, this is not because the University of Sydney team has many personnel, but mainly because they really have no opponents in the league, so they need more from abroad, especially the basketball hegemon United States.
Last year, they were locked in a stalemate with the Blue Devils until the last second of the game, although they still lost by one point.
From this game, it can be seen that the difference in strength between the two teams is very small. So much so that some people say that even if the University of Sydney team joins the NCAA, it can at least reach the finals!
This is unimaginable in other countries, after all, unlike American college teams that can expand globally.
They are recruiting countless heavenly pride, the elite of the elite... And the University of Sydney team is full of Australian players...
In basketball, Australia is catching up with the United States at breakneck speed.
When it was time for the evening game, the host and camera were in place in advance. The huge arena, which can accommodate nearly 80,000 people, seats half of the audience.
Because I saw the video of 'Xiao Yi' fans coming to support in Lyon, France, Sydney's Super Basketball League fans also wanted to see Zhang Yi's style.
It's just that Zhang Yi doesn't know that he doesn't have many fans in Australia, but he has a lot of black fans.
As a big basketball country in the Asian division, Australian basketball fans have always been less fond of Grand Duke's players.
When Zhang Yi became popular in the game world of Super Basketball League, not to mention the Grand Duke, even Japan and South Korea had many fans.
Australians are the only ones who see him as a potential threat to their country's supremacy here.
And the biggest characteristic of their nation is that they never hide their distorted mentality......
As soon as Zhang Yi was about to warm up, he could hear loud boos on the sidelines. The most disgusting thing is the rich man who sits in the VIP seat in the first few rows, pointing at him and making insulting remarks.
That is, Wacker is not there, otherwise he will definitely get into trouble with those people with his character.
Once on the court, Zhang Yi knew what he couldn't do to the audience. It's just that he's not a guy who will swallow his anger in case of trouble, if he can't take revenge on you directly, then I can always bully the team you support, right?!
After making up his mind, Zhang Yi's eyes were full of murderous aura, which made Vali standing next to him feel very uncomfortable......
When the whistle blew for the game, and as the basketball was thrown into the air, the ugly-looking white player next to Zhang Yi said in his ear, "You are not welcome here!" ”
I saw Zhang Yi sneer, ignored him, and jumped to catch the basketball that Wali dialed over......
"Who wants you to be welcome! I want you to surrender! ”
As soon as Zhang Yi's words reached the opponent's ears, he saw the latter's anger hit his head, and the bloodshot in his eyes also exploded.
After all, even if he is a newcomer, Australian basketball has ruled Asia for so many years, and he has never seen that Grand Duke player dare to be so arrogant in this land!
His two giant palms went straight to the basketball in Zhang Yi's hand, but his idea was too simple, and the latter shook off the defense with a change of hands......
Zhang Yi dribbled the ball like the wind, his tall figure tossed and turned between opponents, and the European step was extremely exciting.
As soon as he entered the basketball, he threw all the anger in his heart into this ball, jumped his body, and completely pressed the height of the opponent's center who jumped late......
In the exclamation of the audience, there was a loud bang, and the basketball was smashed into the frame by him, and Zhang Yi also roared angrily and twisted his shoulders up and down to grab twice!
The faces of the five people of the University of Sydney varsity team were more and more ugly one by one, because the game had just started, and this guy clearly wanted to make them ugly.
To do so in an away game is to die to the death.
It's just that Zhang Yi can deal with this kind of garbage audience and garbage opponent, even if he dies, he can do more and more!
