Chapter Seventy-One: The Elite Quarterfinals

"Go celebrate, I have a date today." Wu Huang didn't go out to celebrate with his teammates after returning to the hotel, and he had his own show later, which was held in Christine's hotel room, and for good reason.

The USC players all have a "I understand" expression, how can a "brother" be more important than a "sister", everyone in the team who has a girlfriend left the group after the game, and only a few poor worms who have no sisters are left to think about going to a nightclub for a drink or two together.

Most NCAA players are under the legal drinking age in the United States, but that's not a problem, and who can tell the difference between a 20-year-old and a 22-year-old?

Nightclubs don't look at customers' IDs one by one, except for Curry's kind of guy who looks underage at first glance, and it is said that this product is often kicked out of bars and nightclubs, and you have to wear a fake beard beforehand to enter these places.

Looking at it this way, Harden has a lot of advantages in this regard, but people are under the age of eighteen, and they can be unimpeded in various nightclubs.

USC's "Sweet Six" was the first of all 16 teams to play, while the "Elite Eight" was played on March 30 and 31, with two days off in between.

On March 27th and 28th, the NCAA completed all the knockout rounds of 16 into 8, and the "elite quarterfinals" were all produced.

Among the four matches played on the first day of the "Sweet Sixteen", the most eye-catching was the match between the University of Southern California and the University of Oklahoma, and finally the No. 1 seed in the United States successfully entered the "elite quarterfinals" with a crushing attitude.

The second was the University of Connecticut vs. University of Washington match, and as the two teams entered the second half, the likes of Isaiah Thomas of the University of Washington came together to complete a 16-2 surge in five minutes to finally win and eliminate the championship favorites UConn.

UConn's Tabit has been doing well in the first three rounds, and although the top two spots in the 2009 draft are generally held by Griffin and Wu Huang, the call for Hashim Tabit, known as Uncle Mu's second generation, to move up to the top two is getting louder.

An NBA manager said the rebounding and blocker 7-foot-3 center is likely to challenge for the second pick in the draft. While the Tanzanian-born centre-forward needs to improve in attack, he has already started to show his talent in the box.

But in this game, Tabit showed his flaws in the confrontation with short center Joan Brockman, who was not good at dealing with this type of player, and his performance of 17 points and 6 boards was mediocre, and Tabit's "March Madness" came to an abrupt end.

Two of the four games on the second day of the "Sweet Sixteen" came to the stunner, with Pittsburgh's powerful center DeJuan Blair hitting a key shot six seconds before the game to lead his team to victory over UCLA University, the third seed in the Pacific Ten Conference. In the game between the University of North Carolina and the University of Arizona, North Carolina core Ty Lawson broke through to the layup at the last moment, and the score was fixed at 69:68, eliminating the University of Arizona led by James Harden.

In the end, the University of Southern California, the University of Louisville, the University of Memphis, the University of Washington, the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Villanova, the University of North Carolina, and the University of Syracuse successfully made it to the "Elite Eight".

The "Elite Quarterfinals" matchup has also been announced, and eight elite teams will fight to the death on March 30 and 31 for a place in the national top four.

Midwest Side: University of Southern California vs. University of Louisville.

West Side: University of Memphis vs. University of Washington.

East Side: University of Pittsburgh vs. Villanova University.

South District: University of North Carolina vs Syracuse University.

Many comrades who are new to the NCAA must be confused about the difference between the "Sweet Sixteen" and the "Elite Eight", the team advanced from the round of 16 to the round of 8, why use the word "elite"?

If you paraphrase the phrase itself, "elite" means that the team that can reach this stage is already an elite team, and the deeper meaning behind it is that as long as any team reaches the elite quarterfinals once, the enrollment in the next five or six years will be basically guaranteed, and it will enter the ranks of elite teams.

Let's put it this way, the top eight universities in their area will definitely give priority to talented high school students in their area to join them, and if this university can attract talents, there is a high chance that they will perform again, and it is not impossible to form a virtuous circle and become a giant team.

And for the current batch of players, after they reach the national quarterfinals, they will be considered the elite players of all colleges in the United States, and they can happily change to another city to continue playing.

Wu Huang has been to Staples, Toyota Center and American Airlines Center this month, and it can be said that he has traveled all over the major cities in the United States, and he has a feeling of playing in the NBA in advance.

USC's next destination is Chicago, where they will drop off at the United Center, the home of the Bulls, and will continue their undefeated journey to the championship in the basketball arena with the great No. 23 jersey floating in the sky.

The day before the game, the Chicago media revealed that Michael Jordan would be on the court on the day of the game, during which time the Bobcats frequently reported that they were going to trade draft picks with the Timberwolves.

After Wu Huang and his fans learned the news, they were all scared for the first time, and shouted "Qiao's gang leader has mercy"!

The Bobcats have Filton and Augustin at the point guard position this season, but neither of them can clearly please Joe, so Filton and Augustin are his trade chips, and the Timberwolves are likely to have two top-seven picks this year, and they could give up one.

But to understand one thing, Wu Huang is not interested in the bobcat, everyone knows that Jordan's seven aunts and eight aunts plus a group of black buddies have made the bobcat up and down the miasma, old Brown has expressed dissatisfaction and protests on this issue several times, and now he is about to be swept away.

It's a well-established fact that the Bobcats' management is now the most amateur in the league, and this team can do anything outrageous right now.

In the past few years, Jordan has stuffed all his black friends from childhood to adulthood, and these people are the best at smoking MA to go to nightclubs, but they have no way to manage and run a team.

"Even if you go to New York, you can't go to the Bobcat!" This is the consensus of Wu Huang and Brandon Moretz, they are not discriminating against blacks, after all, the current president of the United States is also black, but many black people in the management of the Bobcat are really not that material, some of them are Jordan's playmates and friends when he was a child, these are all people who are forced into it by the gang leader, and even many of them are gangsters who sell DU and sell guns.

Jordan is of course kind enough to let them get back to business, but dogs can't change eating, whether a person is good or bad is his own choice, and no one forces you to be a traitor.

The earth is now the greatest peaceful and prosperous era in thousands of years, and it is not difficult to eat a peaceful meal outside of Africa.

They all say how China is, but if you want to live well in China, you only need to work hard, and in the United States, you can live better with the same effort. Most black people are not in bad health, can't they contribute without culture? So to do bad things, it can only be said that he is lazy and unwilling to go in a good direction, Jordan is helping them now, and in the end he can only make his team a miasma.

However, Joe's gang leader doesn't care about this, Nike alone gives Jordan's sneakers nearly 100 million dollars a year, and the five active stars with the best sneaker sales in the league are not as many sneakers as Jordan, the "flyer" who has been retired for N years.

So it's still the same sentence - being rich is capricious.

Our helper has money and status, so naturally he can do whatever he wants.

Wu Huang left Miami with the team after the quarterfinals were released, but when he left, he was still a little reluctant to leave Christine's hotel room.

USC was not ready to return to Los Angeles, and on the 28th, the whole team went directly to Chicago and found a five-star hotel to wait for the game on the 30th.

Wu Huang played with the team outside this season, and almost all of them stayed in five-star hotels, and their school was very generous in this regard, and it can also be seen that these teams that can often participate in "Crazy March" are really rich!

The USC game is the opening match of the "Elite Quarterfinals" again, and this time it is naturally a national live broadcast.

"The University of Louisville, it doesn't seem to be weak, but it doesn't seem to be particularly strong?" Wu Huang looked at his opponent in the next game and thought about it carefully, there didn't seem to be a genius in it who could compete with him for the top prize.
