April 7, 2003, New Orleans Superdome.
The NCAA finals, an annual basketball event in the United States that attracts national attention, is being staged here.
Compared with the NBA, which is highly commercialized and resembles a large variety show.
The NCAA has no star privileges, no referees controlling the field, and no fighting for money. It is simply the most real and pure collision between players and players and teams.
It can be said that every NCAA game is a movie.
Every basketball fan can find the shadow of himself playing when watching the game and find the resonance of his soul.
This is the purest and most passionate sports competition, and it is also the most unforgettable and beautiful years of youth for everyone.
Of course, there are also reasons for financial strength and the connection with his alma mater.
The vast majority of the U.S. economy is in the hands of elites who have gone to college. Elites are all proud of their alma mater, which is their best network of contacts and fame and fortune.
And the people at the bottom who rely solely on social welfare to support themselves do not have the money to subscribe to paid programs such as the NBA and NCAA.
It is precisely because of this that even in the era when Michael Jordan ruled the NBA, the NCAA's ratings were still higher than the NBA's.
And once a player can compete in the NCAA finals, this kind of competition that attracts widespread attention across the United States will emerge.
Even if he was just an unknown and unknown substitute player before, he can attract a lot of attention after the game, attract a large wave of traffic, and become a household name basketball star in a short period of time.
"Melon, something is wrong, we haven't scored for three minutes!
Since you left the game, our offensive momentum has stalled.
I remember, the Kansas Jayhawks only scored 25 points before you left the game, right?
What time is it now? It’s already 37 points! How many minutes has it been?
Although we are still in the lead, with the current momentum, they will soon catch up.
I think at this time, as the absolute core of the Syracuse Orange people, you must stand up!
Melo, you don’t want to lose the finals and become the biggest loser in the semi-finals, right?
You don’t want to enter the NBA with the name of a loser and be laughed at and teased, right?
With your personal strength, you are definitely the strongest rookie this year, and even the most talented player in history.
If any NBA team fails to select you after receiving the No. 1 pick, that would definitely be disrespectful to you.
However, if you fail here, they will question you, deny you, and even consider using the No. 1 pick to select other talents!
People will only remember the first place, no one will remember the second place! Melon, it’s time for us to play! "
The voice came from the Syracuse Orangemen's bench.
I saw a player with an Asian face, handsome features, and strong lines, who looked exactly like Yan Huan and was wearing a training uniform for the Syracuse Orange.
Sitting next to Carmelo Anthony, the head player of the Syracuse Orange and the most powerful player in the history of the NCAA, whispering to Anthony.
Seeing the increasingly anxious and unfavorable situation on the court, Anthony couldn't sit still.
At this moment, when he heard the instigation from his teammates next to him, he immediately jumped up from the bench.
"Dunn, you are right. The team needs me. I must return to the court and lead the team to win the game!"
When Du En heard this, he immediately responded: "And me, I will help you win this game! I am your most trustworthy brother!"
Duan and Anthony are old acquaintances. They had already played against each other in AAU before joining Syracuse University.
However, compared to a proud man like Anthony, even though Du En is a time traveler and has the help of the system, he is still unable to compare.
Anthony is a rare five-star high school student, but Duan is only among the top two hundred or so three-star high school students in the United States.
Although many NBA stars had unsatisfactory high school careers in their early years, for example, Curry and Westbrook were three-star high school students, Lillard only had two stars, and Morant was not even a star.
However, after entering college, their bodies and skills have improved to varying degrees.
Can Dune evolve like them?
Du En knows that playing basketball is very demanding on the body, and all skills are based on physical talent.
Therefore, Du En had already started taking medicine as early as high school. Of course, he only took growth hormone, which is secreted by the body itself and is not easy to detect.
But the facts show that his physical condition is the same as what the system shows. He is an ordinary person, and his potential has been exhausted even if he takes medicine.
Want poor people to rely on mutation to enter the NBA! For the current plan, we can only rely on the system to win this game, meet the system conditions, and obtain new player templates.
Of course, as a time traveler, Dunn has long known that even if he didn't take action, the Syracuse Orangemen would win the NCAA finals under the leadership of Anthony.
But what does this have to do with Duan?
The honor belongs to Anthony, and the data also belongs to Anthony!
As a substitute player for the Syracuse Orange, Duan won the championship with Anthony's thigh in his arms, but got nothing.
This is just like Battelle is about to win the NBA championship with the Spurs, but except for domestic fans, who will remember that the Spurs have Battelle? Remember that Battelle was one of the heroes of the 2003 Spurs' championship?
Obviously, Du En's purpose is not only to win and win the championship!
Du En was unwilling to remain unknown, unwilling to remain so low-key and live such a miserable life as a time traveler and owner of the system!
Therefore, Du En must become famous, must find a way out, and have a bright future.
As the saying goes, talking about brothers is all about interests!
Brothers basketball, hometown basketball, school district basketball, in the final analysis is nothing more than the word "profit".
They say brothers are like siblings! So as Anthony's brother, it should be reasonable to follow Anthony's popular food and drink, and then grab a handful or two of bills and put them in his pocket, right?
If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!
Du En and Anthony are very simple brothers, they just want to get some traffic and earn some fame and fortune.
Of course, after a few years, if he becomes famous, Du En will naturally help if there is anything he can do!
After all, you want to help Anthony become an NBA champion, right?
As for now, Anthony needs to give him a hand!
As a substitute who averaged 6.3 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game this season (freshman), Duane must rely on Anthony's mouth to get a chance to play if he wants to shine in the NCAA finals.
Duane is not in a position to bargain with Syracuse Orange coach Jim Boeheim, but as long as Anthony opens his mouth and expresses his desire to play brother basketball with Duen, Duen will definitely be able to play.
"Coach, I want to play basketball!" Anthony asked Boeheim full of fighting spirit.
Du En immediately followed: "Me too!"
"Yes, let Du En play like me! Coach!"
Anthony's tone was very exciting, and he seemed to be a little grateful. Du En was willing to fight alongside him when the team was in a disadvantageous situation...
