Chapter 243: Connecticut
The next afternoon, a bus with the word UCLA on it had stopped outside the Poly Arena, and the bustling crowd had already surrounded it, countless team flags fluttered over the fans, and everyone had a cute Winnie the Pooh head printed on their faces, screaming loudly and vigorously.
Jessica and Leonard stood in the crowd, in order to watch the game, the girl specially changed into the UCLA jersey given to her by Leonard today, the big No. 3 appeared on her delicate body to reveal a different style, the pretty ponytail was particularly eye-catching in the crowd, but no one paid attention to these on the eve of the big battle, they were just waiting for the young men who were about to board the car.
The girl's mood was a little excited, she never thought that the boy who used to follow her and called Little Sister would be so popular, although she had long been used to seeing big scenes, but it was the first time to participate as a fan, and the jersey on her body was different from the one sold outside, which Luo Yun wore in the first game of UCLA, and was asked by Leonard to put it on herself.
Jessica is still dressed as a little girl, with pink canvas shoes and jeans, and is wearing the No. 3 UCLA jersey, but she also has an extra Pooh Winnie the Pooh pendant around her neck, which is placed on her chest.
In fact, Jessica was going to go straight to the arena, but at Leonard's suggestion, she came to UCLA with everyone and sent their Warriors on a journey with countless fans to compete for the supreme glory of college basketball.
And the cheering cards in the hands of the fans are written with the word MOP written on them, which is the most haode gift for a college player and the highest honor of the NCAA. Most Outstanding Player Award!
Of course. The organizing committee of this award has not yet been announced. Because all this depends on the final result of the NCAA finals, if Winnie the Pooh can lead UCLA back to the top, there is no doubt that he will be the first Chinese player in history to win the MOP, but if he fails to win the championship, this title can only remain in the hearts of fans as nostalgia.
Finally, cheers began to be heard from the crowd in front of them, and Jessica stood on tiptoe with her hands on the hem of her jersey. But she only saw a group of big black men, and there was no shadow of Luo Yun at all.
The little guy stood in front of the team, looked back at the door of the Poly Arena, and sighed in his heart, this is the first time he has walked out of the door as a player, from today he will forever say goodbye to his college basketball, farewell to the NCAA, and farewell to the purest college basketball, he doesn't know what his identity will be when he comes here next time, is it an NBA player? Still an ordinary fan!
The boy sighed. Seeing that his teammates had already boarded the bus, he no longer hesitated. Step forward.
However, what he didn't expect was that the moment he walked out of the gate, the earth-shattering cheers hit him instantly, Luo Yun was stunned, and then waved to these lovely fans and started to board the car!
As a result, at the moment when Luo Yun boarded the car, I don't know who in the crowd shouted MOP, and for a while the entire UCLA was this kind of voice, looking at the head of Winnie the Pooh waving in the air, the boy had a feeling of reluctance for the first time.
Jessica stood not far from the crowd, looking at the silhouette stupidly, smiling smartly, but the other party didn't seem to notice her arrival, and the two were separated by more than ten meters, missing again.
On the way to Staples, Luo Yun began to familiarize himself with his opponent's profile as usual, and although he had already done his homework, it seemed to be a habit he had developed for a long time, maintaining the excitement before the big battle.
The University of Connecticut is the biggest dark horse in the NCAA this year, although UCLA also rushed to the finals, but it did not let those basketball commentators bite the root of their tongues, after all, they have begun to prepare the moment Winnie the Pooh stepped on the college campus, and the whole four years have been exchanged for Zuihou to fight, from the round of 16 in 08, the first round tour in 09, the quarterfinals in 10 years until today's finals, UCLA has not been easy all the way, but compared with Connecticut, their luck is really not very good.
UConn has won two NCAA championships in its history, and this year they successfully defeated the talented young coach Stevens' Butler under the leadership of veteran coach Jim Calhon, and successfully met UCLA in Los Angeles.
Usually their scores hover between 50-60 in a game, which is obviously not enough for a team that has reached the finals, of course, this is not to say that their scoring ability is not good, more about their defensive strategy, under the guidance of the old coach Jim Calhon, they have long built a copper skin and iron backbone, and UCLA, after the arrival of Larsson, the transformed super shock lineup emphasizes more offensive ability, especially with the engine Winnie the Pooh, This lineup is also skillful in scoring, and it can be said that the offense has been brought to the extreme!
This also makes today's game known as a spear and shield duel, whether the dark horse led by the veteran coach Jim Caljon can withstand the offensive frenzy of UCLA, and whether UCLA can reproduce the glory of John Wooden's time will also be verified today, so that before the game starts, it is already full of gunsmoke!
Everyone in the car is closing their minds, only Luo Yun is still figuring out the other party's lineup list, from the lineup, Connecticut and Kentucky are equally strong, and they both have extremely good players in the No. 1 position!
Kemba Walker, an excellent point guard who scored 42 points in a single game in his freshman season, can be said to be not inferior to Winnie the Pooh in scoring ability, and his speed is extremely fast, especially good at scoring key shots, which is undoubtedly a big problem for UCLA, how to curb Kemba Walker's offensive momentum, is also a serious test that Winnie the Pooh will face.
However, Luo Yun's mood at this time is a little strange, Kemba Walker's personal jishu and style of play give him a sense of déjà vu, because his template is Allen Iverson, who has a major influence on Luo Yun, and Luo Yun has always been grateful to the NBA's most legendary star. It's different from all the number threes. Because he was the only player who had taught. Not one of them.
The current NCAA and NBA are too different from previous years, and now the major teams are not scarce about point guards, but for an interior player with excellent ability, although there are still only a few excellent point guards, but there are fewer big men in haode, especially the No. 5 position, which can be said to be extremely scarce.
Winnie the Pooh has been walking all the way to see how much competition for point guards on the basketball court is. With Kyrie Irving in the front, Blanton Knight in the back, and now there is Kemba Walker, and the concentrated eruption of the point guard also made the pressure on Winnie the Pooh heavier, but at the thought that he finally came to the finals, the boy could only grit his teeth and persevere, maybe this is what all the leading players will face.

Staples Center
The 20,000-capacity arena is already familiar to fans, with portraits of three of the most dominant centers in NBA history, Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar and O'Neal visible from three kilometers away, and today will be the craziest day of American basketball, even more exciting than the NBA Finals.
Outside the arena has long been a sea of Winnie the Pooh. There was no prejudice against the Californian-born Chinese, and the UCLA flag was carried into the arena by the fans. And Jessica also followed Leonard and Dedmon to the fan area in the stadium, looking like a sea of white, and the No. 3 jersey has also become the main tone of the fans.
Loyun and his party had already arrived in the locker room and began to brag and fart as usual, in fact, everyone knew that this was to ease the tension before the game, but to Malcolm's surprise, he did not see Emma Roberts next to Loyun today.
"Stinky boy, where is your woman? Why didn't you come! Malcolm came to Luo Yun's side and asked in a whisper, in fact, he asked this on behalf of his teammates, after all, Winnie the Pooh's love life has always been the best weapon to adjust the atmosphere in the team, but today the heroine has disappeared.
"Oh, she's going to the UK to film!" Luo Yun smiled when he heard this, and there was no trace of strangeness on his face, but Malcolm still saw a trace of loneliness in the boy's eyes, so he could only pat his shoulder to show comfort, and didn't say anything more.
Filming? Malcolm doesn't believe it, you must know that today is the most important day in Luo Yun's life, leading the team to the NCAA Finals, there are a few men who can do it, but Roberts disappeared, the reason is actually filming!
However, Malcolm didn't ask much, he could only pray that Luo Yun would not be affected by this incident on the court, after all, there is only one chance, and he can't come again after today.
Jessica sat quietly in the audience, a Korean star was instantly submerged in the crowd, she remembered that the last time she came to the Staples Center was because of the family concert, at that time she was still the darling of the spotlight, but today she has become a pseudo-fan, thinking of this, Jessica can't help but sigh that Shijie is too small, and such a thing can happen.
However, just as Jessica was thinking wildly, several familiar figures instantly caught her eye, it was Lolo's family.
The little cousin Liu Beiying, who was the leader, came from South Korea yesterday, behind her is Luo's father and Luo's mother, and some of the rest of the people Jessica don't know each other, so it's probably a friend of the stinky boy!
Jessica couldn't help but look a little embarrassed when she saw this, although the other party didn't find herself, but it still made the girl feel a little uncomfortable, and after hesitating for a while, she still took out the sunglasses from her bag, covering her thrilling little face, and completely reduced to an ordinary audience.
