039. Battle of Honor

The annual NCAA college basketball final kicks off at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Traditional strong team Duke vs. University of California.

Duke University is led by coach J, a famous coach, who is also the head coach of the American men's basketball team. This is the sixth time that J has led Duke University to reach the finals.

In the previous games, Duke star Okafor performed well, averaging 25 points and 9 rebounds per game. Ellis scored 21 points and 5 rebounds, Justice Winslow had 11 points and 9 rebounds, Grayson and Allen averaged 15 points and 3 rebounds per game, and Ralph averaged 15 points and 12 rebounds per game.

Of course, Ye Zheng, the star of the UC basketball team, performed even more phenomenally, averaging 33 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists per game, Charles averaged 19 points and 3 rebounds per game, Clarke averaged 11 points and 7 rebounds per game, Allen averaged 9 points and 6 rebounds per game, and Ronald averaged 17 points and 1 rebound per game.

In the live broadcast room of the TV station, a total of seven chairs were placed, and the host sat in the middle, with three chairs on each side.

The host of the NCAA Championship final is Frederick, a famous Sports Channel basketball host.

On the other six chairs, the three seats on the left are Curry, Durant and Thompson of the Warriors; the three seats on the right are James, Love and Irving.

"I'm honored to invite six superstars to comment on the NCAA basketball championship finals. There is still some time left before the game. Please say hello to the audience in front of the platform."

"Start from the left!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Curry!"

"I'm Durant!"

"I'm Thompson."

"James, it's an honor to meet everyone."

"Love!"

"Irving!"

After watching the six people say hello to the audience one by one, the host spoke and continued.

"In the previous knockout matches, Duke University went smoothly. As a seed team in the South District, they eliminated San Diego State and Gonzaga University. In the semi-finals, they defeated Michigan State and easily entered the fine game. The University of California basketball team made a counterattack. As the least favored team, with dark horses, they defeated Davidson College and Kansas College and advanced to the quarterfinals. Then they even stepped up against the trend, becoming stronger and stronger, and defeated the old strong team of the University of North Carolina in the semi-finals without any effort."

"In last year's regular season, the two teams also met, and Duke University easily won 109-70. This time, the two teams met again in the finals. The University of California basketball team not only needs revenge, but also needs to win the cup, which has turned the team's dream of winning for five years."

"This is a battle of dragons and tigers. Whether the University of California basketball team succeeds in revenge or Duke University completes three consecutive championships, let's wait and see!"

"There is still some time before the game. Let's analyze who can win the championship trophy in the end."

Durant, who had just joined the Warriors, raised his hand and said: "I support Duke."

Host Frederick smiled and said, "It's not because the UC basketball team eliminated Davidson College in the game."

The audience who knew about this meme burst into laughter because Davidson College is Durant's alma mater.

Durant smiled awkwardly, waved his hand, and quickly explained, "No, it's mainly because Duke's basketball philosophy is team basketball. Each of their abilities is not very outstanding, but every player's abilities are very average, especially after becoming a whole. It's not as simple as one plus one equals two."

"It's very similar to our team in the NBA today."

When he heard Durant say this, some Thunder fans were furious at the scene. Originally, Durant's emotional intelligence was low and he still said such words in a live broadcast that hundreds of millions of viewers watched. He had not joined the Warriors for a long time and called our team.

Now Thunder fans believe that Durant joins the Warriors is a move to surrender, because the Warriors defeated the Thunder in the playoffs, and Durant joined the Warriors, which caused a huge sensation in the NBA at that time.

Originally, the Warriors' lineup was very strong, and only the Cavaliers could compete in one or two in the league. Now Durant's joining has made many teams feel dissatisfied. For this matter, NBA president Xiao Hua specially explained that Durant's contract with the Thunder has expired. He is a free agent, and joining the Warriors did not violate the regulations!

The Warriors now form the Big Five, and no one can stop them.

The main goal of all teams in the NBA is to defeat the Warriors, and only in this way can they be considered a real championship team.

A voice of contempt sounded at the live broadcast. At this time, the host was afraid of further riots, so he led the topic to the Cavaliers and said: "First of all, congratulations to the Cavaliers for winning the championship trophy. What do the three of them think about this NCAA basketball championship final?"

James took the microphone and expressed his gratitude first. In fact, he also believed that Duke University would be the one who could get to the NCAA championship trophy in the end, but the Warriors have already chosen it. According to the live broadcast regulations of the TV station, the two teams must choose different teams, and there are rumors that the University of California basketball team is the Cavaliers in the NBA.

At this time, James showed a hearty smile, said after saying hello, "Of course I support the University of California basketball team, because they have the strongest player Ye Zheng, this player from China, attracted my attention some time ago, and at that time he had already demonstrated his ability to dominate the game on the court."

"Where are you?"

"I also support the UC basketball team. They are called the NBA Cavaliers. Supporting them is like supporting themselves." After he finished speaking, he burst into laughter.

This sentence also eased the mood of the audience a little.

"The two sides are competitors in the NBA. They are still competitors when they come to the studio. One side supports the seed team Duke University, and the other side supports the dark horse team University of California. This makes people excited. Which team can win? It's just a matter of waiting and seeing!"

At this moment, there were warm cheers on the big screen behind me.

The Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis was packed. Amid the shouts, cheers and cheers of tens of thousands of fans, the two teams entered the finals.

Both the fans of the University of California basketball team and the fans of the Duke basketball team are very enthusiastic. When the host shouts out the names of each player, the fans will cheer warmly.

Of course, when Ye Zheng's name sounded, the cheering sounds suddenly reached the head point.

"Ye Zheng! Ye Zheng! Ye Zheng!"

Ye Zheng listened to the roaring shouts of mountains and seas, and looked over and saw all the black heads taking pictures and flashing lights. This immediately made him excited.

Although he has experienced five games, this is his first experience of such a lineup, and it is not the same as the previous five games.

Because in the first five games, there were all small stadiums, with a maximum capacity of about tens of thousands of people. Even if the aisle was added to the maximum capacity of 20,000 people, it was different here, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people and was full.

Standing here can be said to be very eye-catching.

"Ye Zheng!"

Tens of thousands of fans shouted together, and the voices gathered together, sweeping the entire arena like a torrent.

The crazy fans in the front row stood up excitedly and shouted at Ye Zheng one by one, just to express their love for Ye Zheng.

Ye Zheng waved his hands at them with a smile, and the teammates beside Ye Zheng were not so popular, and no fans came to say hello. But a small number of them shouted a little while the host shouted their names.

"In just five official games, Ye Zheng has been loved by so many fans. It's really enviable!"

"Haha, there's no way! Who made Ye Zheng so strong? Lead us to the finals, otherwise we won't have a chance yet? Don't complain." Allen thought that he was welcomed when he first joined the team, but after he didn't make any results in the team, there was no more cheering scenes. Now, compared with Ye Zheng, there will inevitably be some gap in his heart.

However, he soon put this idea behind his mind, because his teammates were right, and the fans' love for them was based on outstanding performance, excellent performance, and able to help the team win. In this way, he would understand it after comparing it with Ye Zheng.

Then, under the leadership of the coaching team, the two teams conducted warm-up training, and they all performed simple exercises, shot three or five basketballs to find the feel.

Coach John Wooden attached great importance to it this time. He not only wore a black suit, but also wore a red tie, and his hair was tidy and smooth. For today's game, he had watched all the videos of Duke's game in recent years and had made dozens of corresponding tactics in his notebook.

At this time, both teams were adapting to the field.

Time passed minute by minute, and the time to the last beginning was getting closer and closer.

With a whistle, the game began!

The referee threw the basketball in his hand into the air!

After he robbed the ball by Duke center Ralph, he immediately launched a fast attack after giving the racket to his teammates.

Duke's offense was very sharp. Okafor broke through to the inside with the ball. Then, when facing the defense of the two, one of them passed the ball behind him, giving Ellis a back-to-back.

After Ellis received the ball, facing the open position, the basketball shot out, fell into the net bag, and made a three-pointer.

Ellis is a very famous three-point shooter at Duke University. Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, an open three-pointer. If someone defends, his three-point shooting percentage will drop rapidly. This is why Okafor will pass the ball after breaking through to create an open opportunity for him.
