Harmon soon knew who Chang Wei was betting on, and she muttered, "Chang, are you going to win the Michigan big game...... Isn't that a bit too reckless? In fact, Duke University is still very strong......"

Chang Wei deliberately teased her: "Who kept saying in my ear before that Michigan would win?" I just felt that it made sense, so I gave Michigan $1,000, and Duke was the culprit who knocked us out of the tournament after all, I'm sure they won't win, so don't worry! ”

Looking at Chang Wei's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Harmon couldn't cry or laugh a little, but before she could speak, Chang Wei returned to his serious appearance and whispered: "Actually, the big victory in Lower Michigan has nothing to do with your instigation, I have my own reasons." But I'm not sure if Duke can win, so I only put $1,000 on it, and the big deal is still on Connecticut, at least I'm 100% confident that they can win this game in Connecticut. ”

After Chang Wei explained well, Harmon accepted his statement and began to arrange the itinerary with great interest. However, for Chang Wei, there is really nothing interesting in St. Petersburg, and the so-called local specialties are also very ordinary, so it is better to recharge in the hotel and wait to watch the next day's game! After all, the two semifinals were held on the same day, with Connecticut vs Ohio State starting at 5 p.m., and after watching the game and eating, the Duke vs. Michigan State game started at 8 p.m.

After a day on the streets, the two spent the next morning sleeping in their hotel room to recharge their energy for the afternoon and evening races. Whether it's Connecticut or Ohio University, Harmon doesn't feel anything about them, just to watch the fun, but Chang Wei has a holiday with Connecticut, to be precise, Villanova has had a holiday with them, if it weren't for their repeated defeats at the feet of Villanova in the first two seasons, Hamilton wouldn't have been in the draft now.

At 4 p.m., Chang Wei and Harmon went out in casual clothes, and they both felt the need to pretend to be Connecticut or Ohio fans, and just go and watch the game quietly.

In the first half, the two sides unexpectedly tied the game, and Connecticut only led by 1 point at 36-35, which made Chang Wei a little nervous, he was afraid that his reborn wings would overturn Connecticut, in that case, wouldn't $2000 be wasted? Fortunately, Connecticut was very strong in the second half, and Hamilton led his teammates to score consecutive points. However, Ohio State did not show any weakness, and although their number one star Payne had a bad hand, another man stepped up to fight Hamilton.

When the player's profile appeared on the big screen, Chang Wei couldn't help but open his mouth wide: I'll go, Michael Reed! Later, the Bucks' big boss and famous scorer in the league, although this guy had a very low pick in his previous life (43rd pick in the second round in 2000), but at his peak he was also a top scorer with an average of 25+ points per game, but he didn't expect him to be from Ohio.

However, the experienced Hamilton was superior, shooting from mid-range to help Connecticut keep his opponent at bay. In the end, Connecticut defeated Ohio State 64-58 as Chang Wei expected, and Hamilton scored 24 points and five rebounds on 10-of-17 shooting, which was undoubtedly the best of the game.

After a casual bite to eat, Chang Wei and Harmon returned to the court to watch Duke play against Michigan State. In fact, it stands to reason that Duke's roster is much stronger than that of Michigan, which has only two players in double figures per game this season, in stark contrast to Duke. This is also one of the reasons why Chang Wei didn't dare to bet too much on the University of Michigan, Duke has someone who can break out of the small universe, but the University of Michigan does not.

But Chang Wei soon saw the impact of his rebirth, and less than five minutes into the game, a Duke player lay on the ground after a layup and didn't get up for a long time. Chang Wei's position was a little far from the court, and he couldn't see who was injured, but a replay was quickly given on the big screen. Seeing the back number of the injured player, Chang Wei couldn't help but mourn for Lao K for three minutes, and the injured person was actually the team's top scorer and starting point guard Langton.

Watching Langton being carried into the players' tunnel on a stretcher by medical staff, Chang Wei knew that he must be seriously injured, and the camera was also very timely to show the worried old K on the sidelines, and it seemed that he was also worried about the team's bad luck. Originally, Chang Wei thought that he would feel happy, after all, Duke was stepping on the corpse of the Colorado state, but now his heart is heavy, and he feels sad that Lao K will have to wait two more seasons to win the championship.

No, maybe they won't be able to win the championship in the past few seasons, when Duke won the championship in the 2000-01 season, Battier became the biggest winner, not only won the Final Four MOP as the team's captain, but also won the National Player of the Year, the best defensive player, the Nai Smith Award and the John Wooden Award, it can be said that Battier is the soul of that Duke team. But now that he's thriving in the NBA, it's questionable whether Duke can win a championship in 2000-01.

While Duke's thick bench meant that the old K was still available, Langton's departure from injury undoubtedly greatly affected the team's morale, and the Michigan State took the opportunity to pull the score away and end the first half 35-28. The result was a thrill to the Michigan fans, who were filled with their singing in the arena, at least in that regard, beating the Duke fans.

In the second half, Lao K continued to deploy troops, and finally narrowed the difference to 5 points. Unexpectedly, Michigan State University bench forward Morris Peterson (the 21st pick in the first round in 2000) hit consecutive bottom corner three-pointers, directly stopping Duke's offense. In fact, not only the old K, but all the players in Duke's team are holding back their strength to reach the finals, but without the most important commander, they will only fight separately and then be broken one by one.

When the final whistle blew, Harmon couldn't help but look at Chang Wei next to him, Duke lost to Michigan State 58-65, which also means that this guy bet right? Unable to suppress her curiosity at all, Harmon asked, "How did you know Duke was going to lose?" And judging by their performance, if it weren't for Langton's injury, they would have won. ”

Chang Wei smiled and whispered in her ear, "It's a secret. ”
