Chapter 135: The Inertia of History (Fulfilling Promises, Three Watches Today)
In the slightly surprised eyes of the hotel staff, Chang Wei Shi took away the small money he had won because of the two semifinals, and then very decisively stud again, in addition to leaving a $500 meaning, he put all the money he had just gotten into the final handicap, and the bet was on Connecticut to win.
When he got back to his room, Harmon couldn't wait to ask, "Chang, why did you win under Connecticut?" Didn't the University of Michigan beat Duke in the semifinals before? Do you think they won't be able to win the championship in one go? Although the odds of winning in Connecticut are not high, I think I can take a gamble on the Michigan ......."
Chang Wei rubbed her head and said angrily: "The University of Michigan will definitely lose in the finals, since it is a game that must be lost, if I win under them, won't it look like I am a fool No. 1 in the world?" Moreover, although the odds of winning the championship in Connecticut are not high, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, and at least they can make a little money. ”
Seeing that Harmon still looked confused, Chang Wei had to break it up and crumple it for her analysis. "It's clear that Michigan is not as strong as Duke, and they can make it to the finals thanks to Langton's injury, otherwise it would have been Duke who made the finals. And there's one guy I'm optimistic about in Connecticut, and I think he should be able to cause problems for Michigan. ”
Harmon was very curious, she knew that Chang Wei's vision was very high, and the players who could make him optimistic were definitely not idle. In order to satisfy his intense curiosity, Harmon directly asks his inner questions.
Chang Wei sighed leisurely and said a name: "Richard Hamilton." ”
For a reborn man like him, Hamilton is definitely the best of the pitchers. Although his shooting area is concentrated in the mid-range due to the team's tactics, which is in stark contrast to his brother Ray Allen, Hamilton will give his opponents a headache when he never gets tired of running or shooting accurately after receiving the ball.
What's more, this is the main scoring guard of the previous world champion team!
Harmon had also heard of Hamilton's name, but even though she was the NBA's No. 1 female assistant coach in her previous life, she is still a little girl who prefers the energetic performances of the stars, and a catch-and-shoot shooter like Hamilton who loves to shoot the ball and is also a mid-range shooter is basically not her cup of tea. So even if Chang Wei praised Hamilton as a flower, she was still skeptical.
So when the finals of Connecticut VS Michigan State officially began, Harmon, who went to the scene with Chang Wei to watch the game, was surprised, and his admiration for his boyfriend was like a surging river......
Uh, well, it's not a big deal, it's just that Hamilton scored 10 points in the first three minutes of the first half, and he shot a very perverted 5-of-6 shooting. Every shot he took was carved out of a mold, running, going around screens, catching the ball, shooting, hitting, but it was just going to make Michigan players miserable.
Charlie Bell, who was opposite him, looked bitter, and felt that it was a dog of the day to compete with this guy. Hamilton didn't shoot accurately, but he also messed up the Michigan defense, and he began to run out of breath after less than five minutes of forced follow. Seeing Hamilton run out of the open space and hit a shot steadily, Bale scolded viciously in his heart: "Damn! This can't be a long-distance runner, right? How do you feel like you'll never get tired? ”
Hamilton doesn't care if you're tired or not, that's how he scores, and as a talented shooter from Connecticut, his shooting skills are arguably the best in the NCAA. When Chang Wei was still in Villanova, he played against Connecticut several times, although they all won, but Hamilton still caused them a lot of trouble, and now they encounter Michigan, whose overall strength is not as big as Villanova's, Hamilton naturally plays easily and happily.
At halftime, Hamilton scored 22 points and led Connecticut to a 47-33 lead. His outstanding performance also changed Hammon's impression of him a lot, and she quietly asked Chang Wei: "With Hamilton's performance, will he be selected in the top 10 in this year's draft?" ”
Chang Wei smiled and said: "If you participate in this year's draft, the top 10 picks are certain, but Hamilton is not a top star who can really decide the game by himself, and he can only play a role in the team and system that suits him." And the teams that can get the top pick this year are looking for a top rookie to change their situation, maybe Hamilton can play good numbers after he joins, but it is difficult to get a decent team honor. ”
Harmon chuckled and said, "I'm just asking, you still speak so seriously, as if you've seen it with your own eyes." People say you're an Oriental magician, don't tell me you're a part-time diviner! ”
Chang Wei touched his head and quickly changed the topic, so that he would not tell Hamon that this was the growth trajectory of Hamilton in his previous life. In 1999, he was selected by the Wizards with the 7th pick in the first round, and grew into an average scorer of 20 points per game in three seasons, but it was not until the summer of 2002 that Hamilton ushered in the peak of his career, and Billups, Prince and the two Wallaces were called the "Pistons Five", and defeated the Lakers F4 to win the championship in the 03-04 season.
But for now, it's more reliable for Hamilton to win an NCAA championship. After the start of the second half, he continued to stay on the pitch and led a group of substitutes to play well. In fact, a player like Hamilton, as long as he is paired with a reliable passer and an interior who can grab rebounds, or add a wing gate, then he can definitely give full play to his power.
While Duke's loss to the University of Michigan was a surprise, the inertia of history remains. In the previous life, Connecticut narrowly beat Duke to win the championship this season, and even if they did it all over again and changed opponents, this championship is still in their pocket. 80-64, Michigan lost to the game, and Hamilton scored 34 points and five rebounds, the undisputed best of the game, and he was named to the All-NBA team while also keeping the MOP in the bag.
Watching the Connecticut players celebrate the championship frantically on the court, Chang Wei smiled faintly, patted Harmon on the shoulder beside him, and said: "Let's go, there's nothing to see, for the entire NCAA, this season is over." ”
Harmon watched as Hamilton stood up the ladder and cut the net, muttering to himself, "Do we have a day like this in the Colorado convention?" Chang Wei nodded, holding her hand tighter.
