Chapter 61: The Big Private Room in the Toyota Center
ESPN reported the next day: Although the NCAA is not a commercial league like the NBA, the NCAA's statistics are still professional, and many of them are even more exciting than the NBA's records.
Yesterday in the first round of the national championship, Chinese rookie Wang Hugo broke another record, and this season he has broken two NCAA records, namely "NCAA single-season three-point record" and "NCAA single-game assist record".
In the Pacific 10 Conference Regional Championship, Wu Huang won the feat of 22 assists in a single game against the University of Arizona in the first round, and now he holds the NCAA record for assists per game with Avery Johnson, Tony Farley and Sherman Douglas (22).
Wu Huang broke the NCAA three-point record in a single season yesterday in the first round of the National Championship, and he has a chance to continue to expand that record and is expected to become the first NCAA player to make 200 three-pointers in a single season.
For the next five games, Hugo will be able to do just that with seven three-pointers per game. It's not a difficult task for him, the real difficulty is that he can play the remaining five fights, and to break the record, Hugo will have to make it to the finals.
ESPN also listed a third record at the end, and Wu Huang is expected to catch up with his predecessors in the near future, which is the "single-season triple-double record".
That record is thanks to Wu's rebounding prowess, who has five triple-doubles in the regular season and regional tournaments this season, and is one short of matching Shaquille O'Neal's and Michael Anderson's record of six triple-doubles in a single season.
On March 20 and 21, a total of 32 crazy games were staged in four cities across the United States, and half of the teams were eliminated in two days, and half of the 64 teams were brushed off in just two days.
On March 23rd and 24th, the National Championship will come to the second round of elimination, which is still in the stage of "big waves and sand", in order to wash the sand and gravel, remove impurities and pull out the real gold in the fierce competition.
In the past two days, all the teams that have advanced to the round of 32 will have to fight each other again, and half of the teams will be eliminated again in two days, and the surviving college teams will become what fans call the "Sweet 16", when the attention of each team will increase exponentially, and those who want to make a name for themselves in the draft, they will never give up this great opportunity to show their ability.
USC's second-round opponent was Ohio State in the Big Ten League, a traditional team struggling in the second National Conference, and although Ohio State finished fourth in the Big Ten in the regular season, they still qualified for the National Championship and became the No. 8 seed in the Midwest Division, where they thrashed Kennehas Brooke's University of Siena 74-51 in the first round.
In 2007, Ohio State University made it all the way to the finals under the leadership of Greg Auden and Mike Conley, but lost to the University of Florida, led by Horford and Joakim Noah.
Ohio State lost two of its biggest stars last season and ultimately failed to make it to the National Championship, but they also got a new core of the team, the all-powerful sophomore swingman Evan Turner and the tall white center Byron Mulens, who is 213cm tall, and Ohio State is back in the National Championship this season.
USC is now unbeaten in the season, and every game they play is the focus of media and fan attention.
Ohio State is a good state to snipe at USC, and they won't be as defenseless as Mohide State before them.
Wu Huang is now a favorite for the top pick, and both the regular ** group and the informal periphery have whether he can make 200 three-pointers, and whether he can tie or exceed 6 triple-doubles.
Taylor Swift and Christine seem to be competing to see who trusts their boyfriend more, if it weren't for Wu Huang hurriedly stopping it, Christine would have bought 1 million US dollars Wu Huang can break these two records, this is her income after tax for filming "Twilight", Wu Huang is quite moved.
In the end, Christine still bought Wu Huang 200,000 US dollars to break these two records, and he was even more motivated, and he was determined to break these two records so that his name would remain on the NCAA honor book forever.
This time, the venue was arranged at the Toyota Center, the home of the Houston Rockets.
Houston is also one of the cities hosting the NCAA tournament this year, and the stadium is well-known in the United States, but in China, the Toyota Center must be the most familiar NBA arena for fans because it is the home of the Rockets.
On March 23, the University of Southern California will face Ohio State University on the home of the Rockets, and the Rockets did not play on this day, and Yao Ming said two days in advance after the game against the Mavericks that he would be there to cheer for his compatriots.
Wu Huang and Yao Ming didn't know each other before, but this time through the University of Southern California as an intermediary, he got Yao Ming's phone number, and the little giant specially invited Wu Huang, who came to Houston, to his restaurant for dinner on the evening of the 21st.
Of course, Wu Huang couldn't refuse this kind of invitation, and after following the team to Houston, he took Bart to Yao Restaurant to meet with the current No. 1 center in the West.
"Brother Yao, everyone calls you that, it's okay for me to call you that, right?" Wu Huang was born in a Chinese family and knew that Chinese was particular about seniority, so he was very polite.
"Hugo, it's too polite to speak, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, I am a few years older than you, and my name is Brother Yao." Yao Ming hosted a banquet for Emperor Wu in his restaurant, he had long wanted to meet this Chinese compatriot, Su Qun had talked to him about Emperor Wu, and naturally mentioned that he was willing to naturalize.
Yao Ming didn't believe it at first when he heard the news, he had been in the United States for so long, and he knew very well how the American media had intentionally or unintentionally vilified China, so most of the Chinese who grew up abroad did not have a good impression of China, and it would be good if they did not take the initiative to be the leading party, and there were very few who were willing to naturalize.
Emperor Wu first introduced Bart to Yao Ming, and today he brought the rich second generation to eat and drink for nothing, and Yao Ming was alone.
After the three got to know each other, Wu Huang first chatted with Yao Ming about some things in college, Yao Ming was very interested in his NCAA career, and also wanted to talk about some things that Wu Huang was more familiar with, so that everyone could get acquainted with each other as soon as possible.
Yao Ming then shared his experience as a rookie with Wu Huang, knowing that the other party would participate in the draft in the summer, and even if the final result was not the top pick, it would be difficult to fall out of the top five picks in the first round. This position after entering the team will not be worse than when he was in the past, so many of his experiences are common to Wu Huang, and these experiences are a valuable asset to Wu Huang.
Of course, what Yao Ming wanted to talk about most now was the fact that Emperor Wu was willing to "naturalize" that Su Qun had mentioned to him, but the little giant knew that he couldn't talk too deeply when they met for the first time, and it would be much better to mention these things after they got acquainted with each other in the future. So, the two only talked about some things about the rookie season, and Bart occasionally interjected two sentences, the rich second generation is here to eat and drink for nothing today.
Wu Huang really wants to know the experience of Yao Ming's rookie season now, and he feels that he will definitely not fall out of the top three, so the experience of the little giant is very useful for him.
Soon, Emperor Wu had a general impression of Yao Ming, don't look at this guy who looks stupid and big, and he also looks like a comic, but he is actually very smart, especially in dealing with people, Yao Ming is a hundred times stronger than space, and after finding that Emperor Wu was interested in his rookie experience, Yao Ming turned the topic to this, and the two quickly became acquainted.
"I'll go to watch your game the day after tomorrow, and I can help with tickets, if you need it, just say it." Yao Ming, as the host, naturally has to do enough etiquette in this regard.
Wu Huang's heart moved, this time he only got 4 tickets close to the front row, the national championship has reached this stage, it is difficult for him to ask for too many tickets at one time, but with Yao Ming's help, it is different, the little giant is in the Toyota Center like Kobe Bryant in Staples, and he speaks better than anyone else.
"My parents and friends will come to watch the game tomorrow, but there are not enough tickets, so it would be nice if Brother Yao could help me get a private room." How can Emperor Wu be polite at this time, at this time humility is equivalent to not giving face, and making some requests can make the other party have more face.
"Meaningless, I'll pick you a private room for a meeting the day after tomorrow." Yao Ming immediately agreed, there are 4 VIP private rooms in the Toyota Center that are enough to accommodate more than a dozen people to watch the game, two of which are not sold to the public, they are specially used to receive VIPs, and Yao Ming has the ability to help Wu Huang ask for one.
"Hehe, just give the girls four tickets, my parents and Moritz and the whole family can go to the private room to watch the game." Wu Huang originally planned to ask for a few tickets for his parents and neighbors today, especially the four brothers are going to come to see the game this time, this time it is a gap of almost ten tickets, and now a large private room has completely solved all the problems.
