Chapter 42: The Devil's Home Field
In the FedEx Arena, fans who had been waiting outside the stadium for a long time flocked to the stadium at this moment. Fans with Tigers logos painted on their faces and Tigers shirts walked into the stadium to find their seats and wait for the game to begin. Fans who didn't get tickets to the stadium didn't stay home, but went out to bars or arenas to support the Tigers in a variety of ways.
When the lights in the FedEx arena went out in an instant, leaving only a few bright white lights, the appearance ceremony began!
"Let's use applause and cheers to welcome the all-winning record so far, this season's CUSA Regional Champion, the No. 1 seed in the Southern Division, Memphis - Lao! Tiger! Team! "The DJ was full of excitement and sound throughout the arena. The Tigers fans in the stadium also stood up at this moment and let out the roar of the tiger in cheer. Suddenly, the roar of the stadium shook and went straight into the sky!
At this moment, in the tunnel of the home team's players, the Tigers mascot TOM took the lead in mischievously twisting his body and rushing out, and five Memphis University students waving the Tigers flag crossed behind TOM to run to the midfield. In the tunnel of the players, the DJ pronounced a personal name, first the team's head coach Calipari and the assistant coaches, then the team's bench players. When Dorsey was the captain of the team, the cries in the stadium grew louder and louder!
The Tigers' No. 2 scorer, Douglas, a junior this year. Roberts! Douglas, who came out of the penultimate game, ran out of the players' tunnel and high-fived his teammates lined up outside. Douglas, who played for the Tigers for three seasons, many Tigers fans naturally knew him, and immediately cheered one after another, surpassing captain Joey. Dorsey.
DJ then added: "The No. 1 high school student in the United States, the Tigers engine - Derek. Ross! ”
As soon as the DJ finished speaking, the fans enthusiastically shouted Rose's name, and the jubilation in the stadium did not stop for a long time. Rose's name is well known in Memphis, especially when Rose chose to join the Tigers, and even Sports Illustrated reported the news. And the No. 1 high school student in the United States, the way he plays and his fans are very popular, and the folding layup is even more eye-catching. This strong point guard has made a great contribution to the team's brilliant record!
Rose walked out waving his hands and playing with his teammates. Now the whole team of the Tigers, except for Ding Mo'an, has already played. Ding Mo'an played in the finale, and even Rose did not object, because Rose also knew that the reason why the Tigers were invincible this season was that their role was not worth mentioning compared with Ding Mo'an. With an average of 28.5 points per game, plus contributions on the defensive end, Ding Mo'an is the leader of the three carriages of the Tigers, the main car!
At this time, the more than 20,000 Tigers fans in the stadium were already holding their breath, waiting for the DJ to shout the name that was the devil for the opponent and the gospel of God for their Tigers fans!
"No. 1 in the NCAA scoring list, Tigers super guard, defensive gate, March quick shot, slap in the face draft expert ......" DJ read Ding Mo'an's great achievements, and after reading it, he picked up the microphone and said loudly: "Who is this person?!" ”
Who else could this person have! With their loudest voices and boundless enthusiasm, the Tigers fans shouted the name: "Demon! ”
Ding Moan's name is too hard for Tigers fans to pronounce. However, some time ago, Ross gave Ding Mo'an a nickname, but it perfectly solved this problem. Therefore, when tens of thousands of people in the audience shouted the word devil, even if they knew that they were shouting Ding Mo'an, the frenzied atmosphere condensed in the FedEx Arena, which instantly made the home stadium of the Tigers become the home stadium of the devil. Ding Moan walked briskly out of the tunnel and stood with his teammates, waiting for the visiting team to enter the University of Arlington, Texas.
When the University of Arlington players in Texas entered, they were of course booed the most enthusiastic by the more than 20,000 fans in the arena. There was a lot of boos, and it wasn't until the start of the game that it was a little weaker. The first live broadcast of the Tiger Championship was broadcast by ABC TV.
"Tonight's ABC broadcast is the South Division No. 1 seed Memphis Tigers vs. No. 16 seed University of Texas at the Round of 64. Can the Mons Tigers continue to crush their opponents all the way tonight, or can Texas Arlington University, which is very weak compared to the Tigers, complete the counterattack? After the ABC TV host finished speaking, he picked up a piece of paper and said: "Before the game, both teams have already lined up their strongest lineups. ”
"Tigers: Point Guard: Rose, Shooting Guard: Ding Moan, Small Forward: Douglas, Power Forward: Joey. Dorsey, center: Shaun
Arlington University, Texas: Point Guard: Cunar, Shooting Guard: Larry. Posey Small Forward: Anthony. Verin, power forward: Trey. Parker, center: Jermaine. Griffin"
While the host was reading the starting lineups of the two teams, Ding Mo'an and his teammates had already walked to the court. Looking at the number of spotlights on the sidelines that were more than usual, Ding Mo'an was looking forward to the beginning of the forced ah at this moment. And the team's center Sean and Texas Arlington center Jermaine. Griffin stands on the jump hoop. However, Ding Moan soon found out that this Jermaine. Griffin turned out to be a little shorter than Sean in terms of height.
When the referee blows the whistle and at the same time throws the ball high! It had been a long time since he had met Shaun, who was shorter than himself, and immediately jumped up from the floor with all his strength, touched the ball for the first time before his opponent, and then slammed the ball into the Tigers half, and Rose received the ball and advanced. March Madness Tournament is officially underway!
The game begins with Texas Arlington University shooting guard Larry Brown. Percy followed Ding Mo'an. Before the game against the Tigers, the head coach of the University of Arlington in Texas had a defensive set-up. Among them, Ding Mo'an is the most important. Ding Mo'an, who averages 28.5 points per game, will become the most difficult opponent when he meets each team again. If this super scorer who overwhelms many geniuses explodes, this team can GG and have no play at all.
However, Ding Mo'an is not afraid of this kind of defense, and even likes the opponent to defend himself like this. Rose pushed the ball into the halfcourt, and Douglas began to run around the perimeter, looking for three-point shots. However, the Tigers' first offensive option is only Ding Mo'an. Rejected Joey. Dorsey came up to help him block and dismantle, and Ding Mo'an turned around and suddenly burst out with his powerful explosive power, which bounced out like an arrow off the string, and instantly shook off Larry who was clinging to him. Posey, come to the bottom line.
Seeing the super scorer of the Tigers, he used his explosive power to shake off Larry, who had set up his own defense. Posey, the head coach of Arlington University of Texas immediately made up for it near the baseline and did not give Ding Moan a chance to open the spot.
