......
"Lao Shen, are you okay? Hurry up, the game is about to start!" Sister Hua shouted at the bathroom.
"Hoo ..." (the sound of flushing the toilet)
Lao Shen held a newspaper in his hand, and came out of the bathroom with a cigarette in his mouth, murmured in his mouth: "What is the matter, can this matter be urged?"
Turned around to see Sister Hua's eyes. (╬▔︵▔)
Immediately pinched the cigarette butts.
Shen Qing was wearing a mask, sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, watching the live video on TV with interest, and whispered to Sister Hua: "Mom, can you say my brother can play today?"
Sister Hua also felt a little uneasy and replied with little confidence: "Who knows, but basketball is your brother's only hobby. It's not easy to persist until now. As a mother, can you support your son's pursuit of dreams? Well, even if you sit on the sidelines and watch the whole game, it is a victory! "
"Even if you don't play, it's good to be able to get a mirror." Shen Qing said with a mutter.
The voice just fell, and the live shot swept through the Arizona Wildcats player area, which happened to stop on Shen Tong's face.
"Yeah ~~~"
Some of the melancholy sister Hua and Shen Qing immediately exclaimed and screamed.
"Mom, look, it's Shentong!"
"Oh, oh, it's true, Laoshen, look, it's your son."
Lao Shen was expressionless, sitting on the sofa, not moving like a mountain.
Lens switching.
"Oh, this is over."
"That's right, the time is too short."
......
When seeing the list of opponent players, Shentong's jaw dropped in surprise.
The list of opponents are all familiar names of Shentong.
Sean Battier, the most familiar player among Chinese fans, used to play for the Rockets Yao Mai ’s outside iron gate. He was kindly called
Batman
and
President
by the fans. He has a positive defensive attitude and has excellent COSCO. Investment technology.
Shentong remembers a classic quote from Battier when he was with the Rockets: Basketball games use the brain, not the body. People with high IQ win the basketball game, and people with good physical fitness win the track and field game.
This sentence gave Shentong a deeper understanding of basketball.
Carlos Boozer, one of Shentong ’s most hated players at that time, was also Yao Ming ’s worst player in the west, with a strong and sturdy arm and a precise mid-range shot. The Utah Jazz had been unable to hold Yao Mai ’s rocket up.
Look at other players, Du Hong, Dunleavy, Williams, are also future NBA players.
This Duke is really scary.
Experienced the "future" application, and the confidence in the team's advantage before the game was completely lost.
This will be a hard fight.
......
"Boys, come here."
Before the game, "Silver Fox" Lut Olsen called the Wildcats together.
"After a year of fighting, we are finally here, and I am proud of all of you. Now, only one step away from the final victory, I want all of you to put all your energy into this game to play you All the energy, to defend, to attack, to grab every rebound, to fight for every possession, to defeat them, to prove to the world that we are the strongest team in the United States!

"I have no doubt and absolutely believe that we are the strongest team! We are the strongest!"
With words, Olson raised his fist excitedly and waved in the air.
"We are the strongest!"
The Wildcats players, including Shentong, were affected by Olsen's emotions.
The soul of the wild cat was awakened.
Stretched out fangs and claws!
"Now, guys, show me the game, kick their fiercely, and destroy all obstacles that block your progress!"
Olson ordered five wildcat players to walk onto the court.
Shentong was about to return to the bench, and Olsen pulled him around.
"Shen, you are my secret weapon. I will send you to play in the second half, but before that, you have to observe the game and go."
Shentong sitting on the bench was a little excited, and he will soon appear on the stage of the NCAA finals.
But Olsen's words were still in his ears, "observe the game well."
Shentong was fully focused, watching what happened on the court.
In the cheers of 20,000 fans on the scene, the NCAA Finals officially started!

Helpless Woods' height is too high. Although he didn't cover the ball, it caused interference with Boozer's shot.
The ball after boarding turned around the rim and rolled out.
At this moment, a Duke player suddenly came out of the crowd, jumped over the crowd, caught the ball with both hands and dunked the ball into the basket.
