Chapter Seventy-Three: The University of Louisville

On March 30th, the first game of the elite quarterfinals will be played in Chicago, and the opening game of 8 into 4 is led by the University of Southern California, many fans have some aesthetic fatigue, but the high ratings represent the majority of public opinion, and the USC game is the highest rated one in the first few rounds, so the league naturally has its reasons.

At the pre-game press conference, a Chinese reporter asked Wu Huang: "You're only 19 years old, very young, so will you play in the NCAA for another year before landing in the NBA?" ”

"No, I know exactly what I'm trying to do in the NCAA, it's all about getting into the NBA. If I hadn't done what I did this year, I might have chosen to play another year, and the NBA didn't teach me the basics. But as you can see by now, we've been on a winning streak, and I really don't feel too much of a challenge in the NCAA, so I'm not going to stay for another year. ”

Wu Huang said this very arrogantly, when the arrogant side of his character took the initiative, he was more like an American.

Of course, even many Americans are not so comfortable listening to his words, but as he himself said, even if he stays in the NCAA, Wu Huang can only make his personal data more perverted, and there is really no other meaning.

In today's game, Christine did not come to the scene to watch the game, and Wu Huang's parents did not come, except for Taylor. Swift and Emma. Roberts's two tickets, as well as his agent Brandon. In addition to Moretz, Wu Huang still had a ticket left and nowhere to send it, and he finally threw it to the auction website for 400 US dollars.

"Did you see, there were four police cars clearing the way for us tonight, and there were military police on horseback on both sides, and this is the first time I have enjoyed such a high-standard treatment." Before the game, Bart discussed the scene on the road with his teammates in the locker room, where their bus was a few blocks from the arena. Today, there will be patrol officers in charge of isolation, and this kind of big scene is exciting to think about.

"Don't get too excited, when it comes to the Final Four, the whole city will make way for our game, and there will be police cars starting from the hotel to clear the way for us, and even the mayor's car will give way to us." Wu Huang checked his sneakers. This pair of ZOOMKOBE4 was given to him by Kobe Bryant a few days ago, and it is also the main signature shoe worn by Kobe this year, and the technology it uses represents the highest peak of Nike sneaker technology.

Wu Huang likes these sneakers very much, it is really comfortable to wear them, and it can even make Wu Huang feel the urge to go to the court immediately and sprint at full speed.

Kobe Bryant suddenly gave him sneakers, and Wu Huang naturally understood that this should be Nike's instruction behind him, which can be seen as a show of goodwill, or as Nike's demonstration of his own strength. Maybe soon they're going to raise the offer again, and that's where Nike is smart.

Wu Huang does have a better impression of Nike, but Adidas's sincerity is also very strong, and UA wants to crush the two giants in front of him to death in terms of money, although I don't know where they got their confidence, but there is no doubt that this is the value and recognition of Wu Huang, so UA's sincerity also makes Wu Huang feel very satisfied.

"It's like choosing a girl. Each of the three thousand fandels has its own good, and I can't bear to give up any of them. Why can't you have it both ways? "Emperor Wu is very entangled in his heart, but sneakers are dead, but people are alive, so he should be able to find a way to catch them all.

USC knows its opponents well today, and the intelligence services have gathered a lot of accurate information in advance.

The University of Louisville is a team with exceptional physical talent and above-the-top mid-range shooting. It's not uncommon to make it to the elite quarterfinals.

Among them, Terrence the core of the senior year. In addition to his inconsistent shooting, Williams is a physical swingman with strong defensive and confrontational abilities. At the same time Earl. Clark, Samardo. Samuels and Terrence. Jennings is a fierce player in every position, and this team often puts on crazy and exciting flying dunks. It's fair to say that the University of Louisville's impact is one of the strongest USC has ever faced.

"Our priority today is to guard the basket and not let them hit our basket at will, although the scouting report says that their mid-range shooting is above the standard, but I'd rather let them shoot from the outside than the threat they pose when they hit the basket." Sigmund Freud had already set the tone for today's game, as they guarded the box and the mid-distance.

"Also, since their shooting is average, then there will be a lot of rebounding in this game, so 'rebounding' is the second key to our win today." Floyd glanced at Wu Huang and said with a smile: "Today, if the guard wants to help the team rush to grab rebounds, we must first hold our backcourt rebounds, and if we have the opportunity, we must grab the opponent's frontcourt rebounds, as long as we complete these two tasks, we can be invincible, do you have confidence?" ”

Wu Huang and his teammates have expressed their determination to complete the team's task of competing for rebounds, and will snatch defensive rebounds and offensive rebounds together.

"Okay, let's go out and kill them now, the elite quarterfinals are not our end!" Floyd waved his hand, and the locker room immediately resounded with the slogans of "champion" and "champion" shouted by the players!

The United Center, which claims to be the largest gymnasium in the United States, can accommodate 21,879 spectators when basketball games are held, and USC today used the Bulls' home locker room, which was protested by the University of Louisville.

Generally speaking, both teams will use the away team's dressing room and the reserve dressing room, but neither will use the home team's dressing room, for the sake of fairness. However, the University of Southern California is clearly being treated better today, which is unfair to the University of Louisville.

The excuse of the on-site staff was that there was a problem with the shower system in the away team's locker room today, so USC temporarily let USC use the home team's locker room.

Of course, the University of Louisville will not believe such an excuse, but they can't help it, this must be the Bulls deliberately showing favor to the USC players, although they are far away from Wu Huang, but they are very close to DeRozan and Gibson, and to show favor to players like Wu Huang, there is always a hundred benefits and no harm, and the United States is also humane.

After Emperor Wu appeared. Looking up, he saw that there were about 3,000 USC fans in the east stand, and the two girls were in the front row of the crowd, and this time he saw the target at a glance.

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith of T.N.T Radio commented on the game today, and the big butt said before the game: "USC has been winning, but I think coach Floyd lacks the means to adjust the bench. The Trojans only need to take down any of the top five starters and outscore their opponents by 3.5 points per 100 possessions. Hugo, in particular, is scoring 116 points per 100 possessions when he's on the floor and 102 points when he's not playing, which is completely the gap between the league's top and mid-to-bottom teams. ”

Kenny. "I think it's normal, USC has Hugo dependency right now, and USC is completely two teams with him and without him," Smith laughed. But I think the more than 300 teams in the First Division must have thought about it. He is an expert in turning around USC's defeat and has leadership skills. Throwing key shots, running the team, being professional, paying attention to detail, and bringing a lot of other attributes to this team, I ended up describing him as a winner. ”

Before the start of the game, Wu Huang hugged the University of Louisville players one by one on the field. He wasn't very familiar with today's opponents, and the main players at the University of Louisville were either third- or fourth-year or rookies. These people have little to do with him.

However, he agreed with Freud's caution before the game, these third and fourth graders with average technical talent but outstanding physical talent, their strength has been honed after three or four years of college, and at this time they are not inferior to those first- and second-year geniuses in terms of technology, but their bodies are better. Experienced, so the actual combat ability is stronger.

NBA teams naturally feel that these players are inferior to Wu Huang and others in terms of potential, so they will not be prioritized in the draft, after all, these people have played for three or four years to catch up with the freshmen who have just been released.

But in the NCAA, this kind of mature senior. It's true that it's easier to get grades than first-year geniuses.

University of Louisville five starters: Edgar. Sousa 188cm, Terrence. Williams 198cm, Earl. Clark 206cm, Terrence. Jennings 203cm, Samardo. Samuels 208cm.

USC has faced opponents who have been inferior to them in terms of physical talent, and today is the first time they have faced a team that can outperform them physically.

University of Louisville in addition to point guard Edgar Edgar. Sosa is not praised for his physical fitness, and the other four are all jumping men in their respective positions. Clarke and Williams are considered to be among the five most physical players in the rookie.

In this case, both sides want to use their areas of expertise to give their opponents a thunderous blow at the beginning, so as to win the first move in this game and at the same time hit the opponent's morale.

The University of Louisville won comfortably on the opening scrum with Samaldo. Samuels has good bounce and coordination, and this type of player is a star-like interior player who is very coordinated in their movements, so in a college league that lacks a good interior line, it is often fooling many teams into thinking that they have the potential to become stars.

USC used a 212 position for the first time defensively, with Gibson in charge of centering, Barnard and Bart in the two low posts, and consciously letting go of two corner three-point lines.

The University of Louisville didn't choose to play in the corner, they weren't good at shooting in this area, otherwise USC wouldn't be in that position.

Point guard Edgar controls the ball from the perimeter and patiently waits for his teammates to run.

Wu Huang immediately stepped forward to press, not giving him a chance to pass the ball easily.

This is the defensive style he often uses now, and the average college player is forced by him like this, and there are not many who can control the ball well, and even fewer can safely manage the team.

Although Edgar can still control the ball in the face of Wu Huang's pressing, he really can't do it if he wants to continue to mobilize the team as usual, this is the power of Wu Huang on the defensive end.

However, the University of Louisville, like Harden's University of Arizona, often plays a part of the role of point guard at the No. 2 position. Williams has averaged nearly five assists this season, and he's the real playmaker for this team.

Eventually Louisville's violent power forward Terrence. Jennings inserted his bare hand into the interior line, received a pass and forced a jump to break away Barnard, who was helping to defend, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

"Fight back!" Wu Huang didn't look at the opponent to celebrate at all, they already knew that the opponent would stage many such goals today, and the way to deal with it was to immediately play a fast attack, it was best to hit the opponent by surprise, and if they couldn't beat the fast attack, at least they would not dare to celebrate unbridled in front of them.

DeRozan likes to follow Emperor Wu to attack quickly, and the two go hand in hand, and they have killed half of the game in a blink of an eye...... (To be continued.) )
