Chapter 230: Third Runner-up Battle

Zhang Yi and Sean received a call from the coach at the same time, and the two glanced at each other, wondering how they knew that they had provoked hooligans just now?

At this time, Genji and Vali laughed embarrassedly, "Tell the coach that this is what ......happened in the past."

"I'm rubbing, you two traitors!" The two of them said coldly at the same time. Unexpectedly, Genji, who was arrogant on the field, was also a cautious master on the field, and even Wali's personality was similar.

Originally, they wanted to have a big meal outside, but now they can only obediently go back to the hotel and eat the banquet there. What Zhang Yi didn't like in his life was to gather around a large round table and watch a plate of dishes spin in circles in front of him.

But there's no way around it now, who lets themselves be nosy. The same goes for Sean, who doesn't live in the same hotel, but they happen to be next to each other. The two groups of people just ignored each other and walked towards the hotel.

In the evening, the third-place race started on time. The Buckeyes are still a lot worse than the Broncos, but for decades, they are the only team in school history that can make it to the third-place game, so everyone has forced their best lineup.

And the opposing lineup turned out to have another injury, although it is not the most important main force, but in the eyes of all the spectators, it seems that the goddess of victory is smiling at the players of the Buckeye team again.

Zhang Yi was sitting on the sidelines but noticed the burning eyes on the other side, and Sean stared at him intently, which made him uncomfortable. If it weren't for the fact that he knew that he regarded himself as an old enemy, it would be really easy for people to misunderstand......

Sean really keeps an eye on Zhang Yi all the time, because the last duel really made him realize his shortcomings, although the final the day after tomorrow is a team competition, but he still hopes that he can defeat Zhang Yi in the last game in college.

There are pros and cons to having this idea as the core of the team, and he may be the only one who is so competitive among the current college players.

He didn't play so well at first, and he wasn't even at the top of the quarterback rankings. But in half a year, he worked hard and played a top quarterback performance directly in next season's game.

I'm afraid that this spirit is difficult to compare even with Zhang Yi. Because Sean's ruthlessness can be seen from his determination to shave his hair. This kind of mental power is rare even in the NBA.

So if it weren't for Zhang Yi and Escariot, Sean would have even been ranked in the varanda tie in the scouting report.

Because it's hard not to think of the legendary Jordan and Kobe Bryant with a competitive quarterback, although Sean is white, his energetic style of play really resembles two superstars in the rookie period.

The Buckeyes played their best and led by double digits at halftime, as if the ending was almost decided in the eyes of the audience.

Of course, there are more people here than Broncos fans, so there is also some coldness on the scene, and no matter how hot the host is, the audience's reaction is not very enthusiastic.

Probably due to this influence, the Broncos' players finally woke up, and in the second half they played a Jedi counterattack.

Although the Buckeyes team has experienced the baptism of the Bruins and already knows the strength of the strong team, they are still a little unable to resist in the face of such a stubborn struggle of the Broncos.

I saw that the score continued to shrink, and even in the last thirty seconds, the Broncos tied the score for the first time.

Of course, the game doesn't end there, because it's the NCAA, and it's full of shootouts and counter-kills. I saw that the Buckeye team originally wanted to run out of time, and then attack, it was best to score, and it was possible to play overtime if it couldn't score.

When the point guard controlled the ball, the idea was good, but it turned out to be a fatal mistake in a nervous situation, the basketball dribbled to the foot, and then the opponent almost bloodless fast-break counterattack layup got the quasi-kill.

You can see the desperate expression of the point guard of the Buckeyes team, because he may blame himself for this mistake for the rest of his life.

The crowd on the sidelines also burst into the warmest applause of the game, and it seemed to everyone that the game would be over almost at this moment.

The head coach of the Buckeyes called a timeout, but instead of arranging the tactics, he patted the point guard on the shoulder, "It's okay, the last shot, you shoot!" ”

Listening to the coach's words, the point guard almost had tears in his eyes, because this is an opportunity, an opportunity to make amends, and even if he doesn't take it, no one will talk about him.

The final mistake will turn into a regrettable miss. "Basketball isn't everything in your life, just work hard! Go Buckeyes Team! ”

The Broncos thought they would make substitutions, and the most confident offensive players were on the team, but they didn't expect it to be a few people just now.

Among them, the point guard has the worst offensive strength, so after the kick-off, everyone else is staring at the main scorer and ignoring him.

I saw the small forward serve the sideline and throw it directly into the hands of the point guard in the horn position, and then there were six seconds left in the game. He didn't dribble and shot straight from beyond the three-point line......

In the next moment, the whole audience was stunned, because the ball smashed on the basket, and then it popped into the frame!

"! Lore & Anti-Lore! "The crowd knew the Buckeyes had won, and although there was a fatal mistake in the end, the young point guard made up for it and hit a golden goal.

Although it is only the third place, it is also a very glorious trophy for the young Buckeyes players!

The Broncos all shed tears of remorse because basketball games are like that, a turnover, a missed free throw, and a random shot can add up to an intolerable loss.

Zhang Yi also stood up and applauded the Buckeye team, of course, there are also opponents who deserve respect, the main team was injured and trailed by more than a dozen points in the first half, and they can still desperately chase back in the second half, and they are still the winners until 6 seconds ago......

As soon as the NCAA runners-up were decided, everyone's focus was on the finals. In addition to the final championship, there is also the more important showdown between Sean and Esgallo and Zhang Yi, which is also the battle of rivals that people have been talking about since the Christmas War.

Because Zhang Yi and Escalo are good enough to win the John Wooden Award, and the Tigers' Sean also led the team out of the decline of losing to Duke University last season and successfully reached the finals.

In addition to the battle of the teams, the performance of the three in this game will also directly determine the final belonging of the John Wooden Award.

In Texas, the two teams still have two days to practice, although the opponents are already very familiar with each other, but after all, this is the finals, and it is a game that cannot be lost.

Before parting, Zhang Yi deliberately found Sean, "Today's game is very interesting. "What's the point, rookies are just pecking at each other."

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly, "Then I hope you can show the strength that can fight with us." "The final victory will be ours!"

Listening to Sean's words, Zhang Yi shook his head, "Champion, I want to take it, and I want to win the John Wooden Award." Unbelief? Wait and see! ”
