Feeling the tension on the team, Coach Smith said to the players in the locker room: "Lads! It's a neutral court, not North Carolina! They don't necessarily have more fans than we do! Although major media ranked North Carolina in the top 6! But this year is the weakest year in recent years! We still have tricks that we haven't used in the Ivy League anymore! We can win! ”

I have to say that Coach Smith's ability to pour chicken soup is not as good as the physical trainer Li Wu hired in China in his last life, and the weakest North Carolina has been ranked 6th by the media, and there must be a lot of fans of such an old strong team, although Columbia University has made history by entering the championship again after 47 years, but the fan base is definitely not as good as North Carolina, it is just a neutral stadium, in fact, it is likely to be the home of North Carolina.

So what Coach Smith said just now didn't make the players much more excited. And not all of these players were worried about the Veterans Memorial Arena becoming North Carolina's home stadium, and they were nervous because they were playing in front of more than 10,000 people for the first time.

At this time, the head assistant coach Derek walked in and said to everyone, "It's time to enter!" ”

According to the usual practice, the players of both teams will announce the names of the starters one by one when they enter the game, and the first to enter the game is the North Carolina players, and in the enthusiastic voice of the stadium DJ, the North Carolina starters center Kennedy Meeks, power forward Briss Johnson, small forward Justin Jackson, and the split JP - Toctow vacant Marcus Page entered in turn.

While the North Carolina starters were coming in, the Lions were waiting in the tunnel for the players. Every time the stadium DJ announces a player's name, the stadium is filled with a tsunami of cheers, louder than any other game in the Ivy League.

By the time Marcus Page entered, the cheers reached a climax, even drowning out the sound of the music. Li Wu, whose hearing was beyond ordinary people, heard Maodore's muttering at this time: "Marcus-Page! I'm going to be with him tonight! ”

After the North Carolina players came in, it was the Lions' turn to take in, and the first to enter the game was center Corey Ossetkowski.

When the stadium DJ shouted his name, the stadium immediately burst into boos no less than the cheers just now! Although Li Wu could still hear some cheers, the boos were far louder than the cheers.

This made the faces of the other Lions players even more ugly, and even Coach Smith's face worsened.

Then, big forward Luke Pedrasek and small forward Jeff Cobe entered, and the boos were heard throughout the stadium, and in this kind of boos, people with a bad attitude can easily lose control of their emotions, or be frustrated or agitated.

"Shooting guard! Li ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" At this time, the DJ of the stadium began to announce Li Wu's entry.

"Boom!" The shouts of cheers like flash floods overshadowed the loud-sounding boos in an instant, and these boos disappeared without a trace like a small splash drowned in a frenzy.

Li Wu never expected that he would get such a big cheer, and when he looked up, he found that many people in red clothes stood up, and some even held the five-star red flag that Li Wu saw from kindergarten and high school, as well as the "Li Wu China Aid Association" banner that made him familiar.

"Am I coming to China?" Wallace didn't pay attention to the audience in the stadium after entering the stadium, after all, it was still 3 months, the weather was cold, many people were wearing long sleeves, and some even wore hats, and they couldn't see their skin color at all, especially Chinese girls who were whiter than white people after wearing foundation, so he began to pay attention to the situation on the sidelines when he heard the cheers for Li Wu.

Jamison also began to look around and said in amazement, "God! I'm afraid that there are close to 40% of Chinese! The appeal of this Lions' brother is amazing! ”

"It's not surprising that I have long learned the love of Chinese for their players, and the Chinese who was my generation once set off wave after wave of tsunami-like cheers at the Toyota Center." Murphy said with a smile.

These Chinese fans don't have a love for Columbia University, but they love Li Wu, the first Chinese student to stand in the NCAA round of 64 tournament, a rookie who is predicted to be hovering around the lottery show, although China's mainstream media has not promoted him too much because he did not enter the NBA, but on major sports forums, Li Wu has undoubtedly become the hope of Chinese basketball.

In the United States, there is no shortage of Chinese in any big city, they study, work, live here, and when they know Li Wu, they will not skimp on a ticket, and even many people fly from China to watch the game.

These Chinese simply ignored the cheers and boos of the North Carolina fans, but when Li Wu came out, all the Chinese present cheered and shouted hoarsely, they did not make any agreements and slogans, just cheered hard, waved the five-star red flag in their hands vigorously, they wanted Li Wu to hear and see, even in the United States, he still has the support of his compatriots.

At this moment, Li Wu felt that his nose was a little sour, the motherland was really strong.... So many people have the money to fly and buy tickets to support themselves! The Toyota Center of that year, the Milwaukee of that year, how much sweat and effort his two predecessors put in to conquer the fans there, but when he stood here, the cheers of the Chinese mountains and tsunami actually overshadowed the North Carolina fans.

That's a miracle! It turns out that Lao Tzu has not been fighting alone. Li Wu said silently in his heart, and then he raised his hands and waved vigorously.

The cheers are even louder! Then.... Li Wu pointed to the players' tunnel, and then clasped his hands into fists, shaking like a crowd on the sidelines, and the cheers of the Chinese audience were finally quieter, as if they understood what Li Wu meant.

"Point guard, Maodore ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!" The stadium DJ announced the last Lions main player to enter the field.

Li Wu, who was standing on the field, immediately opened his arms and waved his signal, and Maodore immediately received the same cheers as Li Wu, and also suppressed those boos, when Maodore walked to his team member with a confused face, Li Wu came to his side, and said in the cheers of the audience: "Brother, your average points per game is higher than that Marcus Page!" I'm sure you can beat him! ”

THEN LI WU CONTINUED TO WAVE HIS ARMS, INCITING THE CROWD ON THE SIDELINES TO CONTINUE CHEERING, AND THEN APPLAUDED HIS TEAMMATES, SIGNALING THAT THESE CHEERS WERE FOR THEM, AND THE KNOWLEDGEABLE CHINESE AUDIENCE IMMEDIATELY SHOUTED LOUDER, LI WU CONFIDENTLY POINTED TO THE FLOOR AND SAID TO THE PLAYERS: "THIS IS MY HOURSE!!" We can win! ”
