Chapter 161

What can be used to express the popularity of the NCAA finals?

On this day, it is rare for the NBA to not arrange a game.

"Coach, I want to watch the game!"

This is Spurs guard Danny Green's request to his coach to watch the NCAA finals live.You know, he has always been very obedient to the opponent, but this time his attitude is still very firm, even if he has to miss this day's training.

Facts have proved that his choice is very correct.Although he may not be satisfied with the final result, he witnessed one of the most exciting games in NCAA history.

Compared with the NBA, American fans seem to be more enthusiastic about the NCAA.Like the finals in previous years, the stadium, which can accommodate more than 70000 spectators, was undoubtedly full of seats.

In the two rows of seats closest to the stadium in the Ruilante Stadium, An Luo saw many familiar faces.

Carter, Jamison, Rasheed Wallace and Danny Green who wanted to take time off to watch the game.Of course, there is also the god of basketball, Michael Jordan. In the 1982 NCAA finals, it was Jordan's lore that helped North Carolina defeat Georgetown University led by Ewing and win the NCAA championship that year.Today, he also came to Houston to cheer for his juniors.

On the UCLA side, there are also superstars.The Thunder's head guard Russell Westbrook, the Cavaliers' Kevin Love, the bearded Baron Davis and so on.They are all players who have gone out of the UCLA Bruins and have achieved great fame in the NBA.There are also the Holiday family, the second brother Jrue Holiday and the eldest brother Justin Holiday, the sister Lauren Holiday who plays in the UCLA women's basketball team, and their coach mother Toya Holiday .

In addition, there are Yao Ming, Allen Iverson and Shaq O'Neal. These three have just been officially announced by the NBA Hall of Fame today that they have been selected for the 2016 Basketball Hall of Fame.We happened to be in Houston, so we also came to the Ruiland Stadium together.

There are also some people that An Luo doesn't know, but according to Alex and the others, they are also some very awesome characters.

Of course, in the back seats, there was a group of spectators dressed in red, and even the figure of the five-star red flag.They came to cheer for An Luo, including Chinese students from UCLA, Chinese from Los Angeles, and fans who came from China.Of course, An Luo's father and mother, as well as Tang Xiaoru.However, they were not in the front row because they had not been arranged in advance like Holiday.

But An Luo still saw them at a glance.It is a very happy thing to share this extraordinary moment with the people you care about the most.

Before the game, An Luo thought that there should be no difference between the finals and the semi-finals, after all, they are all on the same field.

But when they entered the field, they found that it was completely different.

The lights went out and the audience cheered wildly.An Luo, who was standing in the player tunnel, suddenly found his heart beating faster.The suffocating atmosphere made An Luo very uncomfortable.During the semifinals, the Ruilante Stadium was not full of spectators.Now, when he raised his head, his eyes were full of people.

"The last player to play is the super scorer, An~ Luo from China!"

With the DJ shouting hysterically, the spotlight hit An Luo who ran out of the player tunnel.There is no home or away game here, but An Luo is still the most popular one.

For these Houstonians, they are used to cheering for a Chinese!

After entering the field, players from both sides began to warm up on each side.An Luo, on the other hand, ran directly to the sidelines.In that place sits the pride of the city.

Yao Ming is also very happy.He remembered An Luo, who he had seen in the Nike training camp in Shanghai.He didn't think that this kid could make it this far, but An Luo's abnormal three-point shooting ability still surprised him very much, so he tried his best to invite the other party to play on his team.

"Brother Yao!" An Luo came to the other party, he suddenly didn't know how to address the other party, so he could only call out brother cautiously.

"An Luo, you guys played well!" Yao Ming said cheerfully to An Luo: "I watched your game the day before yesterday, and you played really well! I really don't know how you practiced this three-pointer .”

……

Chatted with Yao Ming for a while, and also said hello to Iverson and O'Neal next to him.To An Luo, this was like a dream.Yao Ming is fine, after all, he has met him.The other two finally saw real people, although they were no longer the same as when they were surprised by the NBA.

You know, he grew up watching these guys play.He once dreamed of going to the NBA to watch these people play live, but it was a pity that he couldn't realize it.However, what makes him happy is that today, he has become the protagonist on the court.And those great people back then were sitting on the sidelines, watching themselves play.

An Luo patiently did two sets of warm-up moves, and then practiced layups with Alex and the others for a while before starting shooting practice.There is still some time before the game starts, enough for him to shoot two sets of three-pointers.

In this game, Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, and Kenny Smith, the three old guys who once brought fans a lot of joy in the game, once again appeared together in the commentary of the NCAA finals.Unfortunately, O'Neill was not with them and sat on the sidelines.Otherwise, there will be more joy.

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to TNT. This is the scene of the 2015-2016 NCAA Finals. I am Kenny Smith, this is Charles Barkley, and this is Reggie Miller."

Kenny Smith made a brief opening statement, and then turned the conversation to the two teams in the game.

"Okay! There is still some time before the game starts, let's talk about these two teams. Charles, which team do you like?"

"North Carolina! I am more optimistic about North Carolina. From the strength of the team, the University of North Carolina players are more athletic, while UCLA relies too much on individual performance. If North Carolina's defense is good enough, An Luo It may be the next Buddy Hield. With a shooting player as a leader, it is still a bit unstable after all. Even how efficient he was before this." Barkley was very straightforward.He has always had a big mouth, and he can say whatever he wants: "However, if An Luo is not restrained, it may be another story! But I believe Roy Williams knows what to do."

"So, Reggie, I'm sure you support UCLA."

"Of course! North Carolina is a strong opponent, but we are stronger. Whether it is historical achievements or the performance of this championship, UCLA is a better team. We shot 55% in the entire championship, especially In the semifinals, the shooting percentage was as high as 70%. North Carolina is much worse."

Reggie Miller came out of UCLA, and of course he unabashedly supports his alma mater.
