Chapter 31: []

At 9 o'clock, the Michigan Volkswagen took a bus and went to the Pacers home stadium Conseco Arena to adapt to the venue. The training content is very simple, the player practiced shooting for a while, and ended after running a few tactics.
The specifications of the basketball rack of Conseco Arena are the same as those of the training hall. It is not useful to practice more. The key depends on the player's performance at night.
Has returned to the life of ordinary people. Guo Xuquan is a smiley face. This kind of unknownness is very beautiful. He can now fully understand why Brad Stevens does not want to know the future. Too much knowledge will succeed, and some fun will be lost, both pros and cons.
Michigan VS Wisconsin is the first game, starting at six o'clock, many fans have gathered outside the arena at three o'clock in the afternoon, they support their universities, just like a grand alumni meeting.
When the players walked into the arena, they enjoyed the enthusiastic applause and cheers from the fans. They are proud and excited about this and will definitely do their best on the court to live up to their youth!
They are all very clear, this will be a great stage, many NBA legends of tomorrow, starting from the NCAA semi-finals.
The most attractive part of the NCAA tournament is the victory and defeat. You may regret it in the first battle, or you may become a hero in the first battle. That kind of tension and excitement can only be felt in the NBA. A ball may change the fate of a player, and even play an unimaginable role in promoting basketball. This is not an exaggeration. The 1982 NCAA Finals is an example.
That year, freshman Jordan jump shot to kill Georgetown University, bringing the championship to North Carolina. That shot had a crucial impact on Jordan's basketball career. Jordan recalled the lore when he said frankly: "Since I hit that shot, everything is on the right track. If the ball is not scored, I don't think I There will be today's achievements. "
Jordan is now the first person in NBA history, but he was dropped from the first team of the school basketball team because of insufficient height in high school. He was not selected until he grew taller. Although Jordan was well-known when he joined North Carolina, even the basketball fans in his hometown of Wilmington lacked confidence in him. When Jordan won the NCAA Finals lore, everything changed. He returned to Wilmington to play streetball. As a result, people who heard the news blocked the stadium and the local police had to send police to maintain order at the scene.
The players have already entered the locker room of the stadium at 4:30 and can wait for takeaways and fast food to add energy. Some people do not want to eat and have no appetite.
Richardson is the one who ca n’t eat anything. Looking at Zheng Xu, who is eating hot dogs with Guo Xiang, he whispered, "Guo, are you not nervous at all? With such a big arena, there are nearly 20,000 spectators. You also said Fight for MOP. "
"Isn't it a joy to have a large audience? What's the tension?" Guo Xu smiled.
Richardson shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You have changed too much. In the top ten league finals, you went to the toilet twice before the nervous opening."
"There is a common saying in China called the 18th male change." Guo Xu said, tucking the remaining hot dogs into his mouth.
Has changed greatly in his character and when he was just reborn, and it was completely put out on April Fools' Day. He is not nervous on the boxing ring and the strong man PK 30 kg heavier than himself. The lead dance on the high stage of the nightclub is also not nervous. How can he be nervous playing basketball? He now has a super expressive desire and vows to let everyone remember himself.
Tom Izo encouraged morale in the locker room and said aloud: "Everyone relaxes, the Wisconsin lineup is average, and there is not even one person predicted by the media to play in the NBA. They are only good at defense. We will definitely win as long as we play the normal level! Are you confident? "
"Yes!" Everyone shouted together with confidence.
Isa went to talk to the player alone, and Guo Xu was the first to talk. He impressed Guo Xu as an introvert, but he trained at a superior level yesterday, fearing that his starter will not play well because of nervousness. "Guo, it's about to start, how are you feeling?"
Guo Xu smiled and said: "I'm just afraid that you let me play too short. I hope to be able to play in the whole game. 40 minutes is too short, even if the NBA's four-quarter 48-minute game system is also short, and a lot of physical strength is left. . "
"Say good!" Isao patted Guo Xu on the shoulder, very satisfied with his answer.
He can see that Guo Xu's smile is full of excitement. Usually the contest has this kind of performance, and it can become a star in the future. This is the desire to express and the desire to win.
The Cliffs and Peterson of the Spartans are not such people. They are low-key, calm, and never talk big. In the final analysis, they have no confidence to win and lack of enthusiasm. If it weren't for character, they wouldn't wait for the senior year to finish before participating in the NBA draft.
Izo went to talk with others again, focusing on encouraging Richardson. He could see that Richardson was very nervous. This was the normal performance of the first-year freshmen.
The players played at the prescribed time, Conseco Stadium was full, and nearly 20,000 fans were waiting to watch the boys perform.
The appearance ceremony was very grand, just like the feeling of the NBA. Before the game, the members of the coaching staff submitted the player list to the live commentator and the order of appearance. The lights were turned off, and the searchlight hit the players running out of the tunnel. The commentary shouted their names loudly, and the audience gave applause.
Americans do not have much affection for the land, it does not mean that they do not feel at home. According to the survey, 80% of Americans have received higher education. what does this mean? Basically every American has studied in college. So even if a person has moved countless times in his life, at least one mark will not change in his life, that is his university.
This is the NCAA game, the fan's unique sense of belonging ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Guo Xu is the team's first appearance, all players in the NBA are the finale, Tom Izo did not do so, he regarded Guo Xu as Secret weapon, don't want opponents to see the truth.
ESPN live quarterfinals, commentator Mark Woodson introduced: "Michigan State University first played a Chinese player-Jason Guo! Point guard, this guy has a good image, he was encountered in the quarterfinals. The elbow strike was injured and it didn't look too bad. "
Guo Xu only received a few applause, don't care, he will surprise everyone for a while.
The coach arranged tactics for him. He could freely heads-up in a quick counterattack. His position was not fixed in the positional battle. He relied on the inside to cover the running position to catch the ball and shoot. Today, he is the protagonist of the team, tactical position is not inferior to Cliffs.
After a simple warm-up, players from both sides played.
Michigan State University Spartans start: Guo Xu, Martin Cliffs, Morris Peterson, Jason Richardson, Randy Smith.
The University of Wisconsin Badgers start: Barry Hill (height 191CM, weight 86 kg), Al Rogers (194CM, weight 91 kg), Charlie Black (198CM, 93 kg), Bill Strick (205CM, 100 kg), James Bailey (206CM, 102 kg).
Wisconsin's inside players are not high, but the height of the guards exceeds 190CM. The characteristic is that they are not afraid of misalignment in various positions and have advantages in joint defense. Their lineup is not deliberately made up, but it just fits the future development trend of basketball.
Both sides jumped the ball, James was a springman inside, the ball was accurately predicted to the teammate, the game began.
