Location - Southern California
At this moment, the whole school is brightly lit, a large number of students gather in the dormitory, cafeteria, square and other places, in front of the iconic Trojan head is the patio ready to welcome the victory, men and women gather a large number of people, USC film students have found a large curtain, directly erected where is being accepted CBS's live TV broadcast through projection directly onto the big screen, the iconic victory bell won last year was also pulled out of the warehouse and placed in the center, people are there
Imagine what it would be like if USC won tonight, and watch the final showdown between the two teams in this final feast of "March Madness".
"Ladies and gentlemen, friends in front of the television, friends watching the webcast, good evening."
"Right now you're tuning in to the 2008-2009 NCAA Championship Basketball Finals exclusively from CBS."
"The two sides are the Trojans from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles."
"On the other side is the University of North Carolina Tar Heel Team!"
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the NCAA Finals of Magic Johnson and Larry "Big Bird" Bird, and in 1979 the two 50 superstars each led their college alma maters, the University of Michigan and Indiana, in a battle of the century. The two will arrive at Ford's Arena as guest guests and tee off in the middle of the course. Today was also an all-time record: 72,933 people attended Ford Arena in Detroit, setting a record for the number of attendees for an NCAA Tournament final, which was unprecedented! β
"Now there is still half an hour before the start of the game, come, please turn the camera to the sidelines, tonight's game is full of stars, let's first look at North Carolina, which is known as the giant of the NCAA giants, today they have a lot of stars and superstars that are familiar to the audience, let's take a look."
"Oh, the North Carolina team is seated by our Flying Majesty, and γγγγγγ"
"Okay, after reading the North Carolina one, now look back at the USC one, it is said that before today's finals, the USC board of directors made a decision to send an invitation letter to well-known alumni across the United States, inviting them to participate in this unprecedented grand occasion of USC, come to us to see what big people are."
"Oh, the first thing we saw was George Lucas, the "father of Star Wars", and Steven Spielberg, I didn't expect that USC would invite these two, just relying on the influence of these two can be no less inferior to North Carolina, and of course, γγγγγγ β
In addition to the strong support groups of the two schools, of course, there are all kinds of celebrities who love basketball, as well as celebrity audiences who come to join in the fun, as well as Hollywood stars from all over the world who come to rub off the camera.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a household name both in the United States and in China, and the movie "Terminator" series once became popular, and now he has become the governor of California, thus stepping into politics, and at this time he is also sitting on the sidelines wearing a USC supporter jersey.
The one who wears a white shirt on the sidelines is a handsome guy, but of course it is not Huang's only handsome man, but Tom Cruise, who has a peerless beauty.
Of course, the husband and wife duo of jay-z and BeyoncΓ© are not absent, and the idols of many NBA players are jay-z, maybe Jay-Z is more black, which can resonate with many black players! γγ Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio, those who often watch football are familiar with these two, Spider-Man and Titanic are estimated to have been seen by everyone!
Other data shows that at this time, the audience of the whole mei to watch the game has exceeded 26 million.
The entire stadium was crowded with spectators wearing various jerseys looking forward to the upcoming finals.
In the North Carolina lounge, the head coach of the University of North Carolina Tar Heels, Roy Williams, is explaining the tactics
"Danny, your task is DeMar DeRozan, Taylor, your task is Tay Gibson, Tay, your task is to control the rhythm, even if you are beaten by Victor on the opposite side, don't follow his rhythm, we have to use a slow pace, positional warfare to drag them to death, North Carolina is the strongest this year!"
'The chance is right in front of us and we have to take it. Victory Tonight Belongs to North Carolina!! β
**************
"Brothers, the war is about to begin!" At this moment, in the lounge of USC, Huang Wei stood at the front facing his teammates who were sitting, and slapped his palms vigorously to attract the attention of his teammates.
"A month ago, I said that USC would win the championship this year, and everyone in the whole of Mei was laughing at us for our arrogance!"
"And at this moment we are standing in the lounge of the finals arena, and in half an hour we will start the road to winning the finals, which is a naked slap in the face to those fools who underestimate us!"
"Before the Finals began, there were countless people who said that we would definitely lose to North Carolina, and now it's time to slap them in the face!"
"Brothers, don't imagine how strong North Carolina is, nothing can stop us in the face of our offensive power, and what you have to do later is ... Run! β
"Run as fast as you can where you know best, hit the highest percentage of shots, trust me the ball will be there in no time, and all you have to do is throw that damn basketball into that vast basket!"
"In another two and a half hours, all we have to do is hold the championship trophy, cut the nets that belong to the winners, and finally go back to school tomorrow, the highest prize, enjoy the warmest and hottest girls' welcome, you know?!!!" Huang Wei roared hysterically.
"Understand !!" One by one, the team members were full of enthusiasm and responded loudly.
"Expedition !!" Huang Weiwei took the lead in walking out to the court, and raised his right hand vigorously, and everyone responded.
The head coach of USC watched silently at this time, he didn't say anything, he had already done what he should have said, and the tactics that should have been explained had already made the players' ears cocooned, and his heart was very empty in the face of the powerful North Carolina, but now the morale of the players was encouraged by Huang Wei, and maybe he would be angry. And tonight is the stage for the stars, maybe... He watched the team members leave one after another and silently followed behind, thinking about something.
"Larry, who do you think has the better chance of winning tonight?" The two superstars who served as kickoff guests, Larry Bird and "Magic" Johnson, were chatting on the sidelines.
"Erwin, this year's North Carolina is far stronger than USC, of course, North Carolina has a good chance of winning." Bird responded with a smile to "Magic" Johnson.
"Indeed, if you only look at the surface strength, this is indeed the case, but USC Victor Huang, maybe something has happened, I don't think he seems to have done his best until now!" "Magician" means something.
"Perhaps! After all, we all know that the bigger the scene, the more it reflects the ability of the star, look! Larry Bird smiled.
To be continued.
