As the referee blew the whistle, the orange basketball was thrown straight into the air!

The two swarthy thick arms are like two black dragons entangled, hovering upward, and no one wants to lose the first morale battle at the beginning!

Embarrassingly, the two jumped to the highest altitude and found that the basketball was a few centimeters higher than the height of the two, and no one could touch the ball.

The two then landed on the canvas in unison, and Blake's reach advantage showed that he was shooting the falling basketball back to Syracuse's side.

The referee turns a blind eye to the ball between a violation and a non-violation, and the ball has the same chance anyway, and he is considered to have successfully fought for the ball.

Butler University Bulldogs starting lineup: PG Shervin Mark, SG Ronald Norred, SF Gordon Hayward, PF Matt Howard, C Willie Wesley.

Syracuse University Oranges starting lineup: PG Tang Wenlong, SG Andy Rustin, SF Wesley Johnson, PF Anderson, C Black.

The stadium immediately resounded with the deafening cheers of Syracuse University fans, and from this point of view, there are indeed many Syracuse University fans today.

Tang Wenlong steadily controlled the ball across the halfcourt, and in front of him was a "short" point guard wearing the No. 1 jersey, dark skin, and long arm span. Now this guy is looking at Tang Wenlong with an inexplicable look, and Tang Wenlong carefully feels the information in this guy's eyes.

Well, it's a blazing fighting spirit flame ~

If Shervin Mark knew at this moment that Tang Wenlong's mind was not thinking about tactical attacks, but thinking that he was short, he would definitely jump up in anger. What do you call him short? Is he short? If a point guard of 1.91 meters is short, the world is crazy!

"Paralyzed, this guy seems to be half a head taller than Shervin!" Butler University Major Marshal Brad on the bench looked at Tang Wenlong at the top of the arc and Shervin Mark with some pain, and he silently thought in his heart: "Illusions, all illusions!" It must be because Sherwin is bent over to defend, it must be like this"

Tang Wenlong freed his left hand, pointed at himself, and then listed a finger.

This is to explain to his teammates that he is the No. 1 tactic, everyone knows the tactics well, and immediately began to run freely, Andy Rustin went down to the bottom corner, Wesley Johnson and Blackcla to the top of the arc, the two of them protected the key point with the hem of both hands, and stood on the left and right sides, just like two door gods!

"Double-stop?" Coach Brad raised his eyebrows and exhaled in his heart, such a simple tactic should be easy for Sherwin to prevent.

But immediately, as if he had been pricked with a needle under his buttocks, he stood up from the bench with a "rub".

Immediately after, the audience burst into cheers that were stronger than the opening!

"Well done!" Wesley Johnson and Tang Wenlong gave a high-five as they stepped back, and they easily scored three points in the opening game, which was undoubtedly a good start.

Tang Wenlong grinned, and looked up at the big screen before Butler University was attacked.

In the screen, Tang Wenlong controlled the basketball in front of Xie Erwen, and when the double block was completed, he suddenly pulled up a three-point long shot! Xie Erwen, who moved his center of gravity slightly back, couldn't react, although he stretched out his long arm to interfere, the fans seemed to have defended in place, but in fact, Tang Wenlong's shot had already been completed.

Then came the three-point shot, and the morale of the entire Syracuse University was boosted!

"It's just a three-pointer, and we're going to give them one!" Gordon Hayward clapped his hands on the court and encouraged his teammates, and his words seemed to have a calming magic, and Butler immediately became calm.

"Give us one back? You're going to try it! Wesley Johnson scoffed at this, and the guy babbled and started his black rap trash talk, and the two men got tangled up outside the three-point line.

Butler College gave the ball to Hayward and started running, and their point guard Shervin Mark only had the ball for half the court.

"Rookie, I'm going to pay you back here!" Hayward was not afraid of Wesley Johnson in the slightest and responded viciously.

Wesley Johnson was furious, this nobody dared to speak out! You know, he's the top picker in the draft today, behind Kentucky's star guard John Wall and Player of the Year Evan Turner, where did this white-skinned guy come from?

"Okay, there's a kind of you and I rely on" Wesley didn't finish his sentence, and Hayward, who was facing him, suddenly burst out, and the three threats raised their hands to take the ball into the sky a little bit, and made a shooting motion.

Wesley Johnson subconsciously jumped to his feet and soared through the air like a big bird!

However, he saw the sneering face of this white-skinned boy in the air, and then as far as he could see, he lowered his head and bent over to break through, and slowly, slowly, he was extremely arrogant.

Wesley Johnson's chest was about to explode, and he looked back just in time to see Hayward hit a two-point pullup jumper.

"You're dead, softass!" Wesley Johnson passed by Hayward, a flame of anger in his eyes.

Hayward shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal.

In the next round of Syracuse University attack, Wesley was in the position of the wing and actively asked Tang Wenlong for the ball.

Tang Wenlong frowned, he didn't know what happened to Wesley Johnson today, from the perspective of his control of the overall situation, Wesley Johnson's position was not very good, and the small forward who could speak Chinese on the opposite side defended very well.

He hesitated, but still passed the ball to Wesley Johnson.

Wesley Johnson was full of confidence in college, although his ball handling skills were average, but his physical talent was really good, and he had never met an existence that could match him in terms of physical talent.

The same goes for Hayward, who Wesley Johnson didn't take the white guy to his feet at all, despite Coach Jim's pre-game words to be careful.

He controlled the ball and shook it for a while, and after seeing that Hayward was unmoved, he immediately dribbled and leaned over to break through!

Wesley Johnson's first step span is very big, like Tracy McGrady. This season, he has used this amazing first step to live countless people, and it has become his signature weapon. Many media outlets asserted that the reason Wesley Johnson is expected to be a breakthrough master is because of his amazing first step.

But Hayward was not afraid at all, as if he knew Wesley Johnson's movements, he jumped in small steps, swung his body, and stood in front of Wesley Johnson again!

"How is that possible!" Wesley Johnson had a slight sweat stain on his forehead, this white-skinned guy was like a wide wall, no matter how he broke through, the other party was always able to stand in the best position.

The corners of Hayward's mouth curled up in a good-looking arc, causing the female fans in the stands to scream from his obsessed fans.

"How can someone who only has the ability of his right hand live with me?" He snorted coldly and made a mockery of Wesley Johnson.

Wesley Johnson was angry, and after controlling the basketball under his crotch, he faced Hayward and jumped up and shot directly!

"Think beautifully!" Hayward had already taken everything in his eyes, and he rose to the ground with a loud shout, covering Wesley Johnson's shot space with both hands, and a pair of terrifying long arms were exposed!

Hayward's raised right fingertip touched the spinning basketball and his face beamed!

He took a vigilant step back and picked off the air balloon rebound with a roar!

There was a sudden dead silence in the arena, and then the audience let out a gasp in unison.

A male fan wearing a Syracuse University cap rubbed his eyes, then asked his partner in a daze, "Am I right?" Our Wesley Johnson was overshadowed in a front-to-head shot? ”

"What to do, I seem to have seen it too, this world is so crazy!" The little friend said with a sad face.

The audience's reaction was like a slap on top of Wesley Johnson's slap, Wesley Johnson felt his face flushed, his blood was surging, and he was ashamed to find a piece of ground to drill into.

Tang Wenlong was also surprised, but this was not the time to be surprised, because Butler University's counterattack was extremely fast! Has invaded its own half!

Hayward dribbled directly and advanced with Shervin Mark, Ronald Nored and Matt Howard to form four fast-break routes, while the Syracuse University players who returned to defend were only Tang Wenlong and Andy Rawstin, which is a typical fast-break situation!

Tang Wenlong and Andy glanced at each other, Tang Wenlong made a look, Andy immediately understood what Tang Wenlong meant, and quickly returned to the basket.

And Tang Wenlong pounced on Gordon Hayward, who was in possession of the ball, like a hungry tiger, this guy's eyes were rolling, and he was thinking of some bad idea at a glance!

Gordon Hayward and Tang Wenlong became entangled in one step inside the three-point line.

Tang Wenlong's defense is very average, far from his offense, most of the time, he relies on his body to find confrontation, or relies on judgment to do some gambling defense, such as Hayward's ball holding at the moment, Tang Wenlong immediately reached forward, wanting to take out this guy's possession.

Where did Hayward think that Tang Wenlong's playing style was so rough, and the two of them fought against each other, and he let out a muffled snort, as if he was scratched by a small tank, and soon lost his good control with the basketball slightly, revealing a big flaw.

"Nima, is this the way the Chinese play?" Hayward complained in his heart, but his reaction was not slow, he grabbed the basketball with one hand, circled his back, and made a deft behind-the-back pass.

The dashing pass was received by the fast Shervin, who bounced 99 centimeters vertically, and the fierce man who jumped 99 centimeters vertically screamed on the ground, leaped up from outside the penalty area, and lifted the ball to make a tomahawk split.

Seeing this, Andy Rustin dared to step forward, and with a flexible translation of his feet, he dodged the dunk.

"Bang dang!"

As the basket shook, the hearts of the Syracuse University players were not at peace

PS: Butler University was a dark horse back then, reaching the NCAA Finals.
