Li Chenglong stayed at home for a day and returned to school early the next morning.

Li Chenglong didn't let his father Li Mingli send him, yesterday's signing of the contract delayed him for a day, Li Chenglong plans to take the subway back to school by himself, although he has a driver's license, but he doesn't know if there will be a traffic jam during the morning rush hour, if he misses the plane, it will not be good.

After going out for a while, Li Chenglong found an acquaintance, the beautiful girl from yesterday.

She was standing alone, and not far away, Li Chenglong saw the South Korean couple loading luggage into their private car, which should be some golf equipment, probably to go to a tournament.

"Hey, we're meeting again." Li Chenglong walked over casually and greeted the beautiful girl.

The beautiful girl was still so shy, and whispered with a red face, "Hello." ”

"Are you going to go to the competition?"

"Hmm."

"Where to play?"

"Long Island."

The other party answered concisely and clearly, he didn't spit out a single letter, and he blushed all the time, which made Li Chenglong feel a headache, this is just like the kind of ladies raised in the boudoir in ancient times, and there is no way to communicate at all.

Seeing that the Korean couple over there had already noticed him, Li Chenglong asked directly: "Mind telling me your phone number, maybe I want to ask you for advice on golf." ”

Looking at the other party's puzzled expression, Li Chenglong immediately added: "I am a student at Columbia University and a basketball player." ”

Li Chenglong feels that this kind of shy 'lady show', the identity of a student from a famous school can make the other party more favorable, and fellow athletes can also shorten the distance.

Sure enough, the beautiful girl whispered her phone number.

Li Chenglong saw that the other party's mother seemed to be coming over like this, and immediately became a thief-hearted flashman, and even forgot to ask the name of the beautiful girl.

In addition to the entire Columbia Lions team and several school leaders, the Columbia University Symphony Band also went to the team, which is said to have been specially won by the school, and the Columbia University Symphony Band will perform live at the end of the competition.

"Bruce, remember to contact me." After a blonde girl finished speaking to Li Chenglong, she raised her blonde hair and returned to her seat.

Martin Taylor, who was sitting next to Li Chenglong, said with a winning face: "Bruce, your good luck has come, Jennifer is the prettiest girl in the school band." ”

"Didn't you get a note with your phone number last night?" Li Chenglong asked.

"How is that possible? Everyone on the Lions team last night, including the water cooler guard, received several notes with numbers written on them, and it was definitely a huge loss for you not to go back to school, and quite a few people asked where you went, and it was said that your roommate didn't sleep well all night, and there were always women calling or going directly to the dorm to find you......"

After blowing water with Taylor for a while, Li Chenglong remembered the Korean girl who loved to blush, so he took out his mobile phone and found the number he wrote down, he originally only knew that the other party's surname was Wei, so the name of the phone number was just marked with a simple 'Wei'.

Li Chenglong looked at the marked name and thought for a while, and changed the name to 'beautiful girl'.

Li Chenglong tried to send a message to the past: "What are you doing? ”

"You are?" News from the other side soon returned.

"The one who got your phone number in the morning."

"Oh, Bruce?"

Li Chenglong thought that maybe she knew her name from her parents, but she only knew that the other party's surname was Wei and she played golf.

Maybe through a mobile phone, the beautiful girl is not so shy, the two chatted very well, until the airport was about to get ready to board, Li Chenglong sent a message over: "I'm going to board the plane, remember to watch the NCAA basketball game on the afternoon of the 22nd, Columbia University vs. Ohio State University." ”

Columbia University arrives in San Antonio to begin preparations for the upcoming round of 16 match, which takes place on March 22 at the arena of the University of Texas at San Antonio.

When Li Chenglong was still in New York, the round of 32 of the national championship was over, and Virginia Commonwealth University, another dark horse team that reached the round of 32 like Columbia, has been eliminated, and there is only one dark horse left in the NCAA, Columbia University.

In addition to the dark horse, Li Chenglong also noticed another news, the University of Texas, led by Durant, one of the top picks in this year's draft, stopped in the round of 32 and failed to reach the top 16.

The elimination of the University of Texas is not an upset, as they lost to the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Region in the round of 32 to the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Region, USC, which is not an upset, but it is not a good thing for Durant, which will definitely affect his draft market.

At present, Oden is still in the NCAA with Ohio State, and the top 16 opponent of Ohio State University is the dark horse Columbia University, although many people want to see the dark horse continue the legend, but reasonable people know that this time the dark horse road of Columbia University is likely to end.

Oden will continue to advance in the NCAA and even have a good chance of winning the championship, and Durant will be eliminated in the round of 32, which will definitely put Durant at a disadvantage in the competition for the top spot with Oden.

San Antonio is just a small town in Texas, much smaller than a big city like Dallas in Houston, but thanks to the Spurs, the name of the small town has spread widely.

At the arena in San Antonio, not the home arena of the Spurs, but the arena of the University of Texas at San Antonio, a game had just ended.

The scoreboard is 85 to 84, with 85 under OhioState and 84 under Columbia.

Kenny Smith on the sidelines was saying: "The game is over, Columbia University's Bruce Lee failed at the last minute, and the biggest dark horse in the NCAA this season has also completed their final journey, but they still gave us a wonderful game, everyone thinks that Columbia University is much worse than the favorite to win the championship, and they will lose badly, but in fact they have a chance to win the game, they almost eliminated the University of Ohio." ”

"The Ivy League kids showed their determination, Columbia star Bruce Lee scored a game-high 37 points, along with 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and in addition to Bruce Lee, Columbia University had three players score in double figures, and they pushed OA to the brink, but unfortunately it fell short."

All the commentators were saying that although Columbia University was still defeated, Li Chenglong found the side of the University of Ohio who was celebrating, hugged the champion who was at least 40 years old from his face, and said: "Greg, congratulations, you have the ability to win the national championship." ”

"Thank you." A small smile appeared on Auden's old face.

"Let's swap jerseys."

Lee Chenglong and Oden exchanged jerseys and came back, and the symphony orchestra of Columbia University was preparing to perform on stage, but Lee Chenglong saw that many girls in the band had red eyes.

Columbia's orchestra entered the arena and prepared to start the performance, but the performance had just begun, and the scene was silent for two seconds, and then there was a loud applause.

Everyone saw through the live screen that the most beautiful girl in the Columbia Symphony Orchestra was crying while playing the flute on the field, crying pear blossoms and rain.

Everyone knew that she was shedding tears for the failure of Columbia's lore, and she was shedding tears for Columbia's elimination, so they dedicated their applause to her, and also to Columbia, who was still glorious despite defeat.

Li Chenglong knew the girl's name, Jenverni Moody, and she had given a note with her phone number two days before.

After the performance, when the band left the stage, Li Chenglong walked up to the girl, held her face and kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said while helping her wipe away her tears: "Jenfni, I'm sorry for my lore failure, how about I invite you to dinner when I go back to New York?" ”

This caused Moody's to burst into tears and laughter, and there was another round of heckling mixed with applause.

Like Kenny Smith said, that's the NCAA, and that's what makes it appealing.

Columbia's NCAA tour is over, and Lee returns to the locker room with Oden's jersey on his shoulder.

The reason why Lee Chenglong went to Oden to exchange jerseys was because he really got to know Oden today.

Li Chenglong's impression of Auden has always been that of a parallel import, which is told to him by his reborn memory, but today he really faced off against Oden, and he knew how terrifying Auden was at present, with height, arm span, strength, body flexibility, everything was top-notch, and the ball quotient was also very high.

Oden got 26 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks in this game, completely blowing up the inside line of Columbia, his inside footsteps and strength are particularly prominent, the Spanish meat shield was simply ravaged by him, if Columbia didn't have a good shooting hand for the whole team today, Li Chenglong also used an energy water bottle, then he would have been beaten by Ohio.

Li Chenglong's final lore failure also underestimated Oden's defensive ability, and was interfered with by his rapid change of defense, and Li Chenglong raised his shot point in order to avoid being blocked, which eventually led to the lore failure.

Some media said that Oden has Duncan's mind, O'Neal's strength, Olajuwon's pace and Garnett's technology, which is really not a complete boast, and Oden can indeed find some shadows in him.

It's a pity that no one could have imagined that such a ceiling Bill Russell, and the worst ceiling is also a Mutombo genius, known as a combination of O'Neal and Olajuwon, who entered the league to dominate the NBA, and would eventually be made like that by injuries.
