On March 27, 2011, in the Putianshou Center Arena in New Jersey, the confetti flew in the sky, this is the NCAA quarterfinals, Winnie the Pooh led the UCLA against the super team North Carolina, the two sides finally decided the winner after two overtime battles!

There is already a grand scene after the victory of the tournament, the huge arena is full, there are UCLA diehards, there are also North Carolina fans, there are many familiar people sitting there watching everything in the stadium, the cheerleading team organized by Michaka has begun to carnival, the beautiful girls rushed into the stadium at the first time, no one stopped them, and there were no North Carolina players to ridicule, everything seemed so natural, as if it had been rehearsed, and sent a hearty and hearty game for the fans of the United States. Thrilling game!

And tonight, UCLA also successfully rushed to the NCAA semifinals, although they did not lose in the face of North Carolina, which is full of talents, but used two overtime games to drag both sides into a desperate situation, zuihou by Winnie the Pooh and Malcolm teamed up to kill a bloody road, and in Zuihou 3 minutes of consecutive hit long-range shots to lay the victory, 109:106, UCLA defeated North Carolina!

This is the second meeting between UCLA and North Carolina after the aircraft carrier war, but this time North Carolina did not underestimate the opponent and used all the team's hole cards, but although their number one star Harrison Barnes cut 27 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, it still failed to save the defeat, and the old North Carolina also fell at the feet of the former giant UCLA again, all because of the Chinese boy wearing yellow and white No. 3, who dragged North Carolina into overtime with his teammates. to win the score!

Countless scouts have already called the team's management in the first place. The hand holding the data sheet trembled slightly. Countless fans have passed on news to the Internet through their mobile phones, including live pictures and live videos, as well as Winnie the Pooh's whistling figure, which has spread all over the United States at this moment!

It was the toughest game UCLA has played in four years, with a draw in the second half, a first-time stunner, and a Jedi counterattack in Zuihou, and countless fans felt as if they were coming to an NCAA Finals. The battle between the old powerhouse and the lonely aristocracy, the roar in the huge arena, the players of both sides fighting on the battlefield, and the fans in the audience denounced each other, deducing the most exciting NCAA tournament, and it is also the most brilliant one!

26 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals, it is the result handed over by Winnie the Pooh today, which is a crazy performance of a Chinese boy who is only 1.86 meters in the big game, 8 of 8 free throws, 2 of 4 three-pointers. The rest were all about breaking through the basket and mid-range jumpers, and his 12 assists were a testament to the team's unmatched cohesion. Malcolm's 6 three-pointers made North Carolina desperate, the's frontcourt rebounding ability shone brightly, Honeycarter, who returned to the start, broke through frantically in order to make up for his mistakes in the round of 16, and Gordon Hero held on until Zuihou for an overtime, but he was disgraced with five fouls on his back!

It can be said that Larson used all his hole cards, his tactics changed again and again, and his stunner arrangement in the first overtime was even more amazing, and it also made everyone see Winnie the Pooh's big heart, and a superstar-like performance also made the media who compared him with Jeremy Lin completely shut up, and also made the black man with pigtailed hair in the audience smile faintly!

Are the fans still reminiscing about his steal and fast break before the end, as bright as a meteor piercing the sky, the vibrating basket, the undulating human waves, and the wanton crazy running leaving a trail of afterimages!

Do they still remember the white No. 3's stop-and-go jump shots, his gorgeous, dazzling shaking, and the miserable figure that fell in front of him twice!

He always stands up at the most critical moment, counterattacks when he is behind, breaks the ball in provocation, and kills in overtime, the basketball draws colorful arcs in his hands, impacting the basket like a devil!

His teammates are so good, his individual ability is so strong, he is not afraid even in the face of the behemoth of North Carolina, he can rush to theorize for referee mistakes, he can also stand up for the injustice of his teammates, he is one of the best leaders of all NCAA teams, and the most beloved boy, see those screaming women? They always liked him, for his looks, for his basketball!

Larsson is undoubtedly happy at the moment, and although their chances of winning the championship are low, they have already made it to the final four, and the nobles who have been declining have been reborn in his hands, but that is enough!

Although UCLA will be silent again after this season, drowning in the fierce battle in the Pacific Division, but the white old man knows that this is pure basketball, no team can maintain its long-term prosperity, the NCAA Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, the background of the major coaches and the major giants is terrifying, many coaches have rejected the NBA's high-salary employment, just for the purest basketball theory in their hearts, countless classic tactics were born from here, even if it is as strong as the NBA, how can it be compared!

Looking at Winnie the Pooh who was being questioned by reporters, Larson smiled, smiling so happily, in fact, he wanted to tell Luo Yun that in fact, they had done well enough, as long as they reached the semi-finals of UCLA, it was enough, and the three players in the team who were about to participate in the draft could also plan for their future lives with peace of mind, but Larson did not do this!

He knows what Luo Yun wants, although this boy doesn't say it, but in his heart he regards honor as extremely important, winning the championship is his only goal, without Duke and North Carolina, UCLA's future seems to be bright!

But they still have to overcome a formidable opponent to have a chance to compete for the supreme glory of college basketball, and to have a chance to bring Coach John Wooden back to the NCAA, who will be their next opponent? Is it Kentucky or Butler University, or the University of Connecticut, the biggest dark horse of the year? Any one of these three teams is enough to make people feel frightened, but now UCLA, which has advanced strongly, is the same in their eyes, Winnie the Pooh is their first target, Malcolm is the terrifying outside killer, Honey Carter,, Gordon, Rohr, Brendan which is not a thorn in their side, and even the backup point guard Arnett who only knows how to shoot three points is the same, it turns out that this is what it feels like to be promoted to the Final Four!

The more you go up, the more pressure there is, the top group of college basketball in the United States are gathered here, and our little guy feels that there is a taste of Huashan in it, who can fight the top of the Final Four will be revealed one by one in the next few days, and what we need to do is to wait for this moment to come, recuperate, and prepare for everything!

Jessica, who had just finished the announcement, couldn't wait to return to the dormitory, and opened the notebook without even taking off her clothes, and the other members were not surprised by this, after the conversation between Yuna and Sika, everyone stopped admonishing the girl, sometimes talking too much is not necessarily a good thing, Jessica is an adult, she has seen too many ups and downs since her debut, it is not easy for her to keep a pure feeling, everyone's future path is different, they have no right to stop, they can only let Sika give up on her own.

The girl put the wisp of green silk on her cheek behind her ear, and quickly flipped through the game information on the Internet, but unfortunately the live game broadcast has ended, but the result is gratifying, although there is only a short paragraph of text, it is enough to make Jessica, who does not know much about basketball, feel the intensity of the game, what is the concept of two overtime? Jessica is not a fool, she naturally understands.

Taeyeon and Yoona stand behind her, the former taking one look and turning away, while Yoona stays with Jessica to watch those choppy videos and match highlights!

Every time she saw the boy fall, every time he rushed into the crowd of iron walls, Jessica couldn't help but worry about it, and she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't swallow it!

However, at this moment, Yuna spoke!

"Sister, have you been to the scene?" Yuna can feel the enthusiastic atmosphere through the fanatical crowd in the video, and she can't help but feel a little envious in her heart, they are girls living in the spotlight, and the person in the video is not?

"Ahh Jessica was stunned, and then felt lonely for a while about what Yun'er said. She has only seen the scene of the boy at the Seoul International Invitational, or squatting in the corner and watching stupidly, she is not Vera Holland, nor Emma Roberts, how can she go to the scene to see him grow up and fly wildly!

"No, I haven't been there!" Jessica slowly buttoned up her notebook and stood up, looking as if she had collapsed, without any strength in her body!

Yuna instantly understood when she saw her sister's appearance, it seems that she said the wrong thing again, but she still wants to tell what she thinks in her heart!

"Sister, you can go to the scene to have a look, one night, to the star-studded Los Angeles!" Yuna looked at Jessica's figure as she took off her coat and whispered.

But just as she said this, Jessica's body suddenly paused, as if thousands of thoughts surged into her heart, and then she turned to look at the girl in white who was upside down.

"Yun'a, you know, it's impossible!" Jessica's words were sad, she didn't think about this question, but in exchange for laughing at herself, why did she go, and what kind of attitude did she face him.

Yuna was indifferent and didn't say anything anymore, Jessica saw this, smiled slightly, and then took out a sky blue bath towel and prepared to go to the bathroom!

However, at this moment, Yuna spoke again!

"What if he has a chance to win the championship? You're not going to check it out either? After finishing speaking, he silently waited for his sister's answer, so quiet that he could even hear the bell in the living room!

"Really?" Jessica's voice trembled a little, the emaciated back looked so distressing, turned her back to Yun'er, and chuckled!

"Let's talk about it!" (To be continued......)
