Every year, the teams that reach the final four of the NCAA Tournament receive a lot of attention, and in this era of no Facebook, no Twitter, no INS, information is mostly disseminated through radio and print media.

Traditionally, Sports Illustrated produces beautiful covers and inside pages for the NCAA Final Four teams each year, as well as a special issue with in-depth coverage and commentary on the game.

USA Today, as the largest national daily newspaper and one of the official partners of the NCAA, will also feature the Final 4 and also give some player rankings.

CBS Radio has enjoyed exclusive broadcasting rights since signing a long-term contract with the NBA in 1982, and has spared no effort to promote the game in the period leading up to the end of March.

Although ESPN does not have the broadcasting rights, it will also analyze and report on the game, and the ESPN sports center program is constantly chasing hot spots and actively predicting the ownership of the championship.

The above four channels are considered to be the current mainstream media, and when they are approaching the top 4, they are working at the same time, and the popularity of the game is naturally exploding.

It's just a pity for fans that Allen Iverson and Tim Duncan are all out, and only two star players remain, Antoine Walker and Ray Allen...

Li You's performance was also very good, although he didn't meet a star point guard on the way to Connecticut, and most of the people who were in front of him were small men in their early 1.8 meters, but he played efficiently in a few games, which still left a deep impression on many fans.

On March 25, after flying to East Rutherford, New Jersey, the people of Connecticut were given the opportunity to interview.

Cooperate with the staff of "Sports Illustrated" to take pictures, and by the way, answer some questions that fans are concerned about.

Ray Allen is naturally the most talked-about, and many media outlets agree that he can be selected with the top five picks this year!

The team photo had to be completed at the Continental Airlines Arena, and unlike previous finals venues, this time the venue was the home of the New Jersey Nets.

The capacity is also only 20,000 people, and many fans are a little dissatisfied with this, because the ticket price has increased...

After the final group photo, everyone in Connecticut was talking and laughing and ready to change their clothes and go to the American Dream shopping and entertainment center next to the arena.

The poor Li You just wanted to fill his stomach first, and as soon as he left the stadium, he met a middle-aged woman with black hair wearing glasses.

"Lee, it's a pleasure to see you here, Anna Quinndren, and I think you've definitely seen my article on USA Today."

Looking at the smiling and confident middle-aged aunt, Li You felt that lunch had fallen...

"Of course, maybe we can talk while eating!"

Li You smiled and turned his head, signaling the boxer to invite a guest to dinner, of course he had read the other party's column, and what often appeared in this pen was the status of women, social current affairs, and skin color issues.

Whenever there is a hot spot, you can see this sharp output on USA Today...

Unfortunately, the other party chose a café, and at most they could only have a small snack before dinner.

"Bring me a turkey sandwich and an iced Americano, unsweetened!"

"Two more chocolate chip cookies and a latte, this pretty lady doesn't like food that's too sweet."

Li You, who was seated, was not polite, smiled and ordered food at the waiter next to him, the girl with freckles on her face looked at the gorgeously dressed middle-aged woman opposite and smiled slightly, and then turned to leave.

As if sensing that Li You was different from ordinary teenagers, Anna Quinndron began to play the emotional card:

"Lee, it's great to see you reach the semi-finals of the tournament with the team, can you talk about your childhood, I deeply regret what happened to your father."

Li You had a superstar standard childhood, and after he came to this world, his father was gone, and he didn't even see him.

In 96, ordinary people who came over got their green cards through special means, and Li You got the memory that his father was the standard ABC...

"Childhood life? Maybe my father made the wrong choice, this is not a paradise, and every state should strengthen gun control. ”

"What happened in Koreatown, Los Angeles, also happened in New Mexico, no kid likes to live under the threat of guns!"

Taking advantage of the effort to speak, Li You showed off half of the sandwich, and the corners of Anna Quinnderen's mouth twitched slightly, and she was ready to talk about the American dream!

This boxer's skills are not deep enough, and he always wants to guide the problem to the fact that the people on the other side of the ocean are still living in hot topics.

But every time he starts, Li You says that he has a very hard time here...

After showing off a turkey sandwich, two chocolate chip cookies, three blueberry muffins, and a cheesecake, Li You ate half full, and then said with a smile:

"Pretty lady, you can travel to China for a chance, seeing is believing, and of course, I have to thank Coach Calhoun for bringing me to Connecticut."

"As for boring social issues, there is really nothing we can do about it, and Asians will not listen to me because they don't like Chinese."

Anna Quinndron realized that Li You might have known her purpose a long time ago, and finally took a deep look at the different teenager, and then smiled:

"Impressive exchange, Lee, you're going to succeed in the U.S."

“...”

Perhaps it was the exercises on the other side of the ocean that touched the nerves of some people, and in the newspapers of the past few days, ABC can always be seen praising life here, and by the way, stepping on the former motherland.

Information channels are limited, Li You looked at the news in the newspaper and was a little speechless, and Anna Quinndren cut in from a special angle and criticized the current security issues.

This article is not flattering, but the influence is not small, and some black brothers will secretly curse in their hearts after reading it:

"Hell yellow people..."

Many scouts have seen another side of Li You, and the labels of "independent thinking" and "assertive young man" have been attached to Li You.

These traits aren't really suitable for NBA players, and many team executives don't like smart people very much.

...

On March 30, the NCAA national semifinals officially began, and the University of Kentucky once again crushed the opponent in the first game.

At the end of the half, at 28:36, he managed to take an eight-point lead.

Antoine Walker, who was swinging in the third and fourth positions, played in a decent manner, and the small guard Tony Decker became the main scorer on the court.

In the end, the University of Kentucky has been suppressing the University of Massachusetts, 74:81, and successfully reached the national finals!

The game between Connecticut and Syracuse was scheduled for 21:40 in the evening, and everyone was still a little nervous before the game, but after the game started, the big man Knight dominated the inside again.

As soon as the game began, big man Knight blocked the breakaway layup of the opposing core player John Wallace.

The 2.03-meter black small forward, who has been the leading scorer at Syracuse University, is now in his senior year and is also expected to be drafted in the first round this year.

Due to the opponent's lack of height on the inside, there is never a good way to face Knight's high lifting.

Coach Calhoun was very involved in the game, constantly signaling to hit the ball inside.

As in the Southeast Regional Finals, Connecticut quickly took a six-point lead thanks to excellent play on the inside.

Li You noticed that Ray Allen was running with switchbacks for most of the more than 6 minutes of the game, and he could only sigh:

"No defense for three seconds, the era of big men!"
