In UCLA's Poly Arena, Bai Xiaonian had just finished his day's training, packed the clothes he had just changed into and was about to walk away, Honeycutt and Gordon on the side quietly exchanged colors with each other, and then stared at the defenseless little white children's shoes in front of them and pounced together.

"Oh yes! You actually got your sneaker endorsement contract done quietly, and you didn't say a word to your brothers, see if we don't kill you ruthless guy today! ”

Honeycut viciously rode Bai Xiaonian under his crotch and said loudly, and Gordon, who was holding Bai Xiaonian's hands, nodded in agreement, this kid is really not interesting, and he actually made a fortune in a muffled voice.

But Bai Xiaonian, who was pressed under him, was also very wronged, although he signed a specific contract yesterday, but the $1.2 million in the first year of the contract would not be credited to his account until after the seven-day review period of the Legal Center, so in fact, he has not received a penny so far.

But in the end, he still didn't resist the threat of the old hooligans of the two teams, and after calling Emma who was waiting for him at the school gate, the four of them walked to Chinatown together. Today, Huang Da Niu's Chinese restaurant is also the second canteen of the Bruins under Bai Xiaonian's dedicated promotion.

There are two days left before the next round of NCAA, and UCLA's next opponent is Duke University of the North Carolina Blue Devils, like a huge stone pressing on the Bruins.

Founded in 1838 and located in Durham, North Carolina, Duke University is one of the world's top research universities.

In addition, when it comes to Duke University, we have to say that his daunting basketball level, Duke University has won 3 NCAA championships in history, reached the Final Four 14 times, and Duke is synonymous with nobility in the NCAA league.

Most of the players who graduated from Duke have elegant playing styles, such as 92 star Christian Reitner, 94 star Grant Hill, and 02 star show Williams are all representatives of Duke, and Duke University, which has been silently transfused for the NBA for decades, has an irreplaceable position in the history of the NBA and the NCAA.

In addition, there are still a lot of talented players in the current Duke roster, including the league's top guards like Kyrie Irving, coupled with the coaching tactics of Coach K in the NCAA, Duke University is regarded as the biggest favorite to win the championship this year.

Although UCLA leads the league in the number of NCAA titles, to be honest, there is still a big gap between the UCLA Bruins and the Duke University Blue Devils.

Before the game, the direct confrontation between Bai Xiaonian and Irving, the two most prosperous super guards in the league, became the focus of media scrambling to report.

As the champion pick in this NBA draft, Kyrie Irving's strength has long been recognized by everyone, and Bai Xiaonian's achievements in leading the team in the past two years are also widely known and have a high probability of being selected in the top few of the draft, so this game has become a preview battle for the two future superstars in the NBA.

After Bai Xiaonian and everyone had a good meal and sent Emma home, he quickly ran back to his mansion, sat down at his desk, turned on his computer, and couldn't wait to watch the video of Ben Holland's game against Duke University today.

In fact, as early as in high school, Bai Xiaonian has always regarded Duke University as his ideal college, especially for the old K coach of the Blue Devils, although in the end because of Ben Holland's sincere invitation Bai Xiaonian went to UCLA to study by mistake, but he has not let go of his feelings for the Duke Blue Devils.

In the computer screen in front of Bai Xiaonian, a wind-like man is wreaking havoc in the opponent's restricted area, this person is now the biggest guard in the NCAA, Kyrie Irving, and Ben Holland's special warning to focus on the target.

Not only is Irving very flashy on the dribble, but he also has excellent physical fitness and explosive speed, never fails to be a player in a 1-on-1 heads-up, and his passing vision is also very open. If you compare Owen with Bai Xiaonian, then Bai Xiaonian is a weakened version of breakthrough confrontation ability and an enhanced version of projection ability.

How to restrain this elusive guy is the key to whether UCLA can advance to the final four, Bai Xiaonian sat in front of his desk and stared at the computer screen in deep thought, and before he knew it, the skyline in the distance of the City of Angels had become hazy...

Before this crazy March focus battle, a reporter specifically found Kyrie Irving, who had arrived in Los Angeles with the team a day earlier, and conducted an interview.

"We all know that you, along with Wood White and Kemba Walker, are known as the three star guards of the 11th time, and will be direct opponents in the NBA in the future, so do you have anything to say about the next game against Wood against UCLA?"

A Fox reporter cut through the crowd and struggled to reach for Owen with the microphone.

"Oh! I know Wood is a very good point guard, and Coach K told me that I need to focus on him, and even though I've never played against him, I think it must be a very good guy. ”

Owen has always appeared in front of the public as a humble big boy, and this time is no exception, and before the reporter could continue to ask questions, he added:

"Actually, you all know that my toe injury is not completely healed, but I will definitely give 100 per cent of my strength to give the crowd a good game, do you say Wood?"

Looking at the camera lens, Owen said directly to Bai Xiaonian, judging from his excited expression, he was also looking forward to this head-to-head showdown with Bai Xiaonian.

As for the injury that Irving mentioned in the interview, he suffered a game against Butler University at Duke University on December 10, 2010, when Irving's right foot was stomped so hard by the opponent's small forward Calmi that he strained the ligament in his right toe, which kept him out of the court for more than three months.

On March 18, 2011, Kyrie Irving returned from injury and played 20 minutes in a game between Duke University and Hampton University, scoring 14 points and 4 rebounds to help the team defeat their opponents 87-45 and successfully advance to the Sweet 16.

After answering a few regular pre-game questions, Irving didn't give much interview to the crowd of reporters chasing after him, just waved at the camera and turned around and walked into the locker room.

Coach K at Duke University has always been a fan of player interviews, and he thinks that players who are still in college should not be exposed to flash for a long time.

PS: The schedule in the book is slightly different from the real one, and in real life Duke University should have stopped at the sweet top 16 of the year...
