Chapter 81: Advance to the Elite Quarterfinals

Zhang Yu's attack completely killed the "University of Texas", the main inside line graduated and left, and Pitman has also committed four fouls, and he is now going to follow the pace of Jordan Jr. If the two interior lines are not there, the two López brothers, who are in good shape, will have no restrictions at all, and the "University of Texas" has no hope of winning, and the players' fighting spirit will decline rapidly.

In the end, with the cheers of the fans, Stanford University defeated the strong rival University of Texas 77-63 and advanced to the elite quarterfinals!

"Hey, let's swap jerseys, you're the best defensive player I've ever had."

After the game, Zhang Yu took the initiative to find the red No. 14 and asked to exchange jerseys. The other party happily took off his jersey and handed it to Zhang Yu, and the two exchanged jerseys.

"What's your name?"

"Kyrie Walker, not a nobody!"

Zhang Yu smiled slightly, knowing that the other party was still angry in his heart, and the other party still had a blood capsule stuffed in his nose, the two hugged each other, which was regarded as a smile and hatred.

Zhang Yu's game was high and low, which was relative to his fame, and he played normally overall, and he got 23 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists in the whole game.

Brook Lopez exploded in the second half and also had 15 points and six rebounds. Robin Lopez actually deserved to be the best of the game, as he played a dominant defensive game and contributed 12 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks in the game, which was a big contributor to Stanford's victory.

However, Zhang Yu's fame is too great, Robin Lopez only relies on defense, and it is difficult to grab the best player award from him, and the best player of the game is still awarded to Zhang Yu.

After the game, Zhang Yu was interviewed by ESPN, and the reporter's first question was to ask him whether he would participate in the NBA draft this year, which was the question that everyone was most interested in.

"If we win this year, I'm 100 percent going to be in the draft. If I can't get it, I need to think about this question carefully, and I can't answer it right now. ”

Zhang Yu's answer did not completely satisfy everyone, after all, no one can guarantee that "Stanford University" will definitely win the championship. But even so, some NBA teams are starting to prepare for the June draft. One of the most obvious is that the team is even more undisciplined. "We've heard that you've had private contact with New York?" When Zhang Yu heard this question, he immediately became vigilant. He knows that the league has rules that prohibit any team from contacting college students and players who have not been officially confirmed to participate in the draft. "I just want to focus on the next games now, and as for the draft, I'll talk about it when we win the championship." After answering this question, Zhang Yu found an excuse to end the question.

2008 was a big year for the draft, and there was more than one Zhang Yu this year, and Derrick Rose of the University of Memphis was also a strong contender for the top spot. Beasley, the University of Kansas, has improved dramatically this year since the setback at the World Junior Championships, and it seems that his last defeat has inspired him to go further. and Blake Griffin of the University of Oklahoma, who also showed extraordinary talent this year, is also a popular candidate for the top prize. (moved Beasley from Kansas State University to the University of Kansas)

Now the eyes of the bad teams in the league are spent, and this year there is a feeling of a talent blowout in '96 and '03, even if you don't get the top pick, as long as you can get the top three or even the top five draft picks, you can choose a rebuilding cornerstone.

The day after the game, sports media outlets with considerable influence in China, including Basketball Herald and Sports Weekly, gave Zhang Yu a high score for yesterday's watch, and over-touted titles such as "genius" and "superstar" were everywhere.

In the United States, Zhang Yu is just a big favorite, and in China he is touted as the champion of the king!

It is worth mentioning that CCTV 5 also selected Zhang Yu's broken ball and a second pass assist as the "five best balls of the day" that night.

The American media has always been discriminatory against Chinese players, and before the Sweet 16, there was very little coverage of Zhang Yu's "Stanford University", and now "Stanford University" has advanced to the elite quarterfinals, and it is no longer easy to deal with it coldly.

Since the "Stanford University" game was played in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles media was the first to report on the game.

-- Los Angeles Times

No. 14 has the shadow of No. 24 on his body, especially at the moment when the two of them high-five!

-- The New York Times

The Chinese are excellent, but his style of play is too soft compared to Rose and Beasley, making people wonder if he can adapt to the high-intensity NBA?

-- Chicago Tribune

We need Zhang Yu, and the United Center needs a good defender!

"Made, you actually say I'm soft? Have you taken off Lao Tzu's pants and seen it?

On the second day of the competition, Zhang Yu had returned to the dormitory of the university, and saw the comments of major newspapers on his computer, and found that the New York Times looked down on him the most. But after scolding for a long time, he actually knew in his heart that the New York Times was really right, and he was really scared by the red No. 14 for a while yesterday!

On March 19th, all the matches of the Sweet Round of 16 are over, the winners and losers of each team have been decided, and the opponent of Stanford University's next game is the favorite to win the championship, Oklahoma!

Stanford University VS University of Oklahoma, this is an early matchup of kings!

The University of Oklahoma has the top pick Blake Griffin, the scoring guard James Anderson, and the dunking center Keith Galen.

The outside world is eager to see the two top favorites face off in the same field, but this match may not be so fair to Blake Griffin, because the overall strength of "University of Oklahoma" is significantly inferior to "Stanford University", and this matchup is likely to end with Blake Griffin being beaten by a group.

These sports reporters are not dry food, and they still have a basic vision, and not many people are optimistic that the "University of Oklahoma" will win.

The elite quarterfinals were scheduled for March 22 and were still played at the Staples Arena, which attracted more celebrities from all walks of life to watch the match.

Especially in China, many celebrities saw the frequent appearance of the international chapter in the last game, and they immediately felt all kinds of envy and jealousy, and they also wanted to come to the scene to dip in the light of Crazy March. It's a pity that these stars don't know that when the game goes to the elite quarterfinals, you can't buy tickets if you have money.

Xia Wei opened the second-hand ticket sales website, and his eyes suddenly popped up with little stars, because he found a ticket deal, and the other party bid $10,000 for only a front row ticket!

This price is too big for a small money fan, and she is constantly fighting with herself in her heart: "Do you want to sell the tickets that Zhang Yu gave me?" That's $10,000? ”

Ai Yue'er was in her dormitory, gritting her teeth and posting a transaction for a ticket, which was marked with $10,000!

"Little slam the door, I don't believe you don't take the bait!"

Ai Yue'er showed two cute little tiger teeth and said viciously!
