"Wu, this side ...... here"

In the bustling university gymnasium, a loud voice rang out.

Many fans who were closer looked up in surprise to see a young man wearing sunglasses walking slowly.

Most of the fans are young people, and they dress casually.

One of the big fat men, wearing a T-shirt with the Illinois logo on it, was asking his teammates next to him with a puzzled expression.

"Charlie, did you notice that guy is familiar?"

Charlie is a white man, he looked in the direction pointed by the fat man, his face was also puzzled, he shook his head, he said regretfully: "I'm sorry, Grant, I can't remember who he is, but as you said, it's really familiar." ”

Coming with Wu Di was Tyronn Lu, who wanted to come and see him, but because of his low stature, it was difficult for most people to notice him immediately, but when he caught his attention, it was natural for people to guess their identities.

"Wow, look, that little guy isn't Tyronn Lue, he really looks."

"What do you mean, his imitation of Aaron's style, it must be him, I've watched him play a lot."

"That? And the one next to him? It should be, he should be Wu, our Thunder Warrior!! ”

"Wow, it's really him, alas, it's incredible that he's coming. He's here for revenge, I think we should support him, he's a guy who takes love very seriously, and I like him. ”

The stadium erupted in an overwhelming amount of buzz, and no one expected Wu Di to come, which really made the fans and players of Illinois feel excited.

Everyone knows what the reason for Wu Di is here, yes, he is here for revenge, but he came to support his parent team for revenge.

In March Madness '03, in the quarterfinals, they re-encountered the Arizona Wildcats.

It's not just a do-or-die knockout game, it's also very meaningful for some players who have quit the team.

They were eliminated by Arizona last year, and meeting again this year will undoubtedly add a lot of excitement to this quarter-final.

Wu Di walked to the side of the loud voice, and there were five people sitting there, all of whom were Wu Di's teammates on the Erie team in his three years of college.

Obviously, there are not all people here today, but it is gratifying enough to be able to come.

Several people smiled and hugged each other, and Wu Di also introduced Tyronn Lu to them.

'We have a very good chance of winning today, they are not the same team as last year, and I think we can get revenge.' The loud voice happily hugged Wu Di, and it was obvious that the relationship between several people was not bad.

Wu Di smiled, with some self-blame and regret between his eyebrows: "Last year was our own trouble, otherwise they would have no chance to beat us." ”

When the words fell, everyone was stunned.

That's right, if Wu Di can take the initiative to stand in the position of leader last year, then the team will not end up without cohesion, and it will not go its own way to the end, and then unfortunately be eliminated by Arizona.

"Wu, let him pass the past, and no one will blame anyone. No one will forget how good you are, and it's understandable that you changed your style of play to protect yourself. ”

"Yes, Wu, you're our leader, well, although we don't have a chance to get into the NBA, we will still support you off the court."

"Really, Wu, you've been so good this season. To this day, we can understand your hard work, and there are so many things that have happened to you in the rookie season. But you've done just that, you're the pride of Illinois......"

"Actually, we were surprised when you and Kelly started, it was crazy, and now the whole of America knows about your relationship, haluha, here, the two of you are more well-known."

……

Before they could sit down, a group of people stood there and chatted, obviously, they hadn't seen each other for a year, and there were so many things that a few people wanted to say. What makes Wu Di happy is that these guys are not restrained because they have become NBA players, they are completely the same as before, and there are too many words one by one.

Most of the five people who came were the team's main players that year, Sergio McClain of 1997 and Frank Williams of Illinois Basketball of 1998, plus Wu Di, the 2000 Illinois Basketball Man......

Oh yes, there's one more ......

Brian Cook, the guy who was the 1999 Illinois Basketball Man, is now in his senior year and is in his last season of college.

With four basketball players on a team, it can be said that the belligerent Erie team after 2000 is an extremely strong team, but their luck always seems to be not so good, and they have not been able to win the championship so far.

After Wu Di, Frank and Sergio left last summer, Illinois was left with only Brian Cook.

"Wu, you really came, I didn't believe it when you called me and said you were coming." Cook's voice came from behind Wu Di.

Turning around for a bear hug, Wu Di hammered a group towards Cook's sturdy body, and he smiled: "Hey, Brian, am I so untrustworthy?" ”

Everyone laughed, but Brian Cook said hatefully: "I think everyone is clear about this problem, God is above, we still can't forget the incident when you threw us in the girls' dormitory." ”

Wu Di: ......

In fact, it was extremely unexpected for Illinois to reach the quarterfinals again this year, he thought that only Cook's belligerent Eries would need to rebuild the team, but what he didn't expect was that this year it was stronger.

Under the guidance of Brian Cook, Wu Di came to the sidelines, and he met with the juniors of this team, and a group of young people were very excited.

For a team like Illinois, there are very few players who can play in the NBA, and often, there is not one player a year. Therefore, for Wu Di, who can play in the NBA and play quite well, this group of new players in Illinois admires him.

Wu Di quickly learned about the backbone of Illinois this year, Deron Williams as a freshman, Brian Cook as a senior, DeBrown as a freshman, and Luthhead as a sophomore, as well as several substitutes when Wu Di was on the team.

According to Brian Cook, Deron Williams is a very talented player, and Woody noticed him as a result.

After staying on the sidelines for a while, Wu Di chatted with Billy Servef, the coach of three years in college, and the old man obviously valued him as much as before, which made Wu Di's heart inexplicably warm.

Of course, the main surprise to Wu Di was the yellow-skinned big man in the team.

The big man is called Cao Shuang, like Wu Di, he is an international student from China, Cao Shuang is only 19 years old this year, and his height has grown to 220cm, but his body is really thin.

Wu Di was curious about the Chinese Billy Seff was found out of that mess, but more excited to see another Chinese figure in the NCAA.

Wu Di wanted to see how this guy was, and when the perfect assessment was launched, Wu Di's heart was inevitably disappointed.

Name: Shuang Cao

Height: 220cm

Weight: 95kg

Age: 19

Offense: No Stats, Defense: No Stats, Power Stats: No Stats, Rebounds: 15, Organization: No Stats, Potential: 70, Plasticity: Two Stars.

Draft Evaluation: Lost.

Recommended Selection: Unsuccessful.

After reading this report, Wu Di instantly understood that Billy Seff, who has always been optimistic about Chinese players, brought such a big man over with a hint of luck, after all, the example of Yao Ming being elected as the champion showed up alive last year.

But in fact, Cao Shuang seems to have grown a big man of 220cm in white.

Wu Di is not an active player in Illinois, so naturally he can only return to the audience to stay, and this time, he is really busy, and some college alumni who have come to support the belligerent Illians have asked him to sign autographs.

For this situation, it is difficult for him to refuse, after all, the identity of alumni is all there.

However, when Wu Di signed the first name, the surrounding situation obviously began to be a little out of control, and many fans wanted Wu Di's autograph, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.

However, the whistle at the beginning of the game temporarily rescued Wu Di.

Arizona's lineup has also changed a lot, with Luke Wharton and Salim Stoudemire being the team's core backcourt, and some small men who can't be named for the time being, and it's clear that Arizona is still insisting on "playing the world from the guard".

At the beginning of the game, Wu Di once again saw Arizona's mercury-like rhythm, a style of play that couldn't be faster, and Arizona showed a sharp attack.

In the first ten minutes of the first half, the Illinois side seemed to be in the adjustment stage to their offense, and they were sticking to the defense against Arizona, but the effect was extremely poor, and Illinois temporarily trailed 15-23 halfway through the first half.

However, after the timeout, Illinois completely changed their style of play, with Billy Seff fielding three small defenders, and the only big man on the field was Brian Cook.

As a result, a surprising thing happened, on the Illinois side, the guards led by Deron Williams launched a powerful offensive against Arizona, and the fast and impactful Deron Williams once scored 9 points in a row.

Under his leadership, the two sides were tied at 40 at the end of the half.

In the second half of the ensuing game, Brian Cook played less than six minutes before being simply taken down by Billy Seff, and then sent a speedy forward with rebounding and box defense.

Thus, an offensive battle that took place in March Madness began.

Looking at the tired and sweaty players on both sides, Wu Di was extremely excited, this is the real offensive basketball.

It's so fast that it couldn't be faster, and it relies entirely on attacking games.

The head-to-head battle has the fans of the stadium going crazy, and such a game is simply a visual feast.

In the end, there was a frenzied cheer from Illinois, and the belligerent Erie team achieved revenge with a 94-88 victory over the Wildcats. Deron Williams scored 26 points, DeBrom scored 20 and Luther Hyde scored 18.

The trio's combined performance of 64 points immediately took the United States by storm, and Illinois' crazy backcourt began to make a name for itself......
