At ten o'clock in the morning, it was the familiar BOK Center again.
There were obviously more spectators this time than in the previous rounds. At first glance, the entire arena was packed with people, and it was difficult to see any empty seats.
There is still half an hour before the start of the game, and it is currently the warm-up session.
One moment, Li Kaiming received the ball and took a shot from outside the three-point line. The next moment, he dribbled the ball to the inside and made a powerful dunk, which caused the fans in the stadium to scream in surprise!
"Oh my God! That big guy No. 34 is so awesome! Why haven't I heard of him before?"
A little boy covered his mouth and screamed, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"You don't know Li Kaiming? This guy is one of the most popular players on Youtubo these days. His game video has more than one million views in one night!" A white boy next to him enthusiastically gave the child The boy introduced.
…
There are still twenty minutes before the start of the game, and all the staff have already arrived. The familiar Calvin is still in the commentary box as the host, but this time the guest is different.
Calvin looked at the gray-haired white man next to him and said, "Bruce, tell me what you think of today's game!"
Bruce Jackson, a 60-year-old white man, is a senior reporter and basketball commentator for CBS. The fact that CBS can send him to the scene shows that CBS attaches great importance to this game.
Jackson smiled slightly, "I think both sides will give us a very exciting game! Both teams have their own characteristics and different styles. The Miners from the University of Texas at El Paso focus on outside offense. Their players are all well-proportioned and flexible guys, and I believe no one is willing to face the defense of these guys. They have Randy Culpepper, the C-USA Player of the Year who averaged 17.9 points per game. And there’s a chance that Eugene Calakett will be drafted at the end of the second round…”
"But the Memphis Tigers opposite are not easy to deal with. Their leading scorer Elliott Williams has a chance to be selected by the NBA with picks 20-40. He is a real talent. Not to mention they have this Li Kaiming, the No. 34 inside player who has suddenly emerged in a few games, I believe anyone who has watched him play will be deeply impressed by his dominance on the court!"
Calvin nodded, the old fox said something different, it was watertight and no one could be offended!
…
In the audience, a white man with an aquiline nose and his legs crossed was leisurely waiting for the game to start.
Suddenly, a fat man with a big belly sat next to him, and at the same time a joking voice came!
"Maren, look at your posture, if I guess correctly, your manager sent you here for vacation, right?"
The hook-nosed man Maren Butt raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the fat man next to him. After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, a smile appeared on his face.
"Kainan, don't hurt me, this is my rare rest time this week! Of course, if you want to say this is a vacation, that's fine, it's pretty much the same anyway!"
Fat man Kenan Kent also laughed. As a scout, how could he not know how tiring this job is!
After chatting for a while, Kent asked, "Are the Knicks also interested in Elliott Williams?"
Bart nodded, "Of course, I think his style is very suitable for us? What? The Kings are also interested? I heard that there are quite a few colleagues coming here today!"
Kent shook his head, with a hint of mystery on his face, "I'm not here for Williams, I'm here for another person!"
Bart snorted and asked curiously, "The one here who has the best chance of entering the first round is Williams. Is there anyone with better talent than him? Or do you think Randy Culpepper or Eugene Ka Luckett interested?”
Kent laughed, "It seems you are not well informed! There is indeed a talented player here. Just the day before yesterday, he defeated the Houston Cougars!"
The curiosity on Maren Bart's face became even more intense, "When you say that, I really want to know who this guy is. There are not many players that you can tell are geniuses!"
Kent shook his head quickly, "You will know just by watching the game. He will never let you down..."
As time went by, today’s starting lineups of both sides were also displayed on the big screen.
Miners: Point guard Arnette Moultrie, shooting guard Randy Culpepper, small forward Eugene Calcutt, power forward Jeremy Williams, center Claude Britton .
Tigers: Point guard Willie Kemp, shooting guard Elliott Williams, small forward Daniel Mack, power forward Wesley Weatherspoon, center Kaiming Li.
Seeing the Tigers' starting lineup on the screen, Maren Butt let out a sigh, "The Tigers' starting number 34 is very unfamiliar! I remember their center is not the big white man? When was the replacement? "
Kent next to him was silent, as if he was worried that the treasure he was interested in would be snatched away!
The on-site referee had already signaled the players from both sides to enter the stadium. After Li Kaiming, his coach and teammates completed the pre-match cheering ceremony as usual, they set foot on the familiar court.
The microphone in the commentary box has been connected to the entire stadium, and Calvin's loud voice spread throughout the arena.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today we finally ushered in the thrilling finals of the C-USA League! The two teams are the University of Memphis Tigers and the University of Texas at El Paso Miners. After three rounds of playoffs, A severe test, finally stood on the stage of the finals. The University of Texas at El Paso is the first in the regular season of the C-USA League, so it has automatically entered March Madness. So in today’s battle, the University of Texas at El Paso will It will determine whether the University of Memphis can enter the NCAA National Championship!"
Calvin was worthy of being the resident commentator at the BOK Center. He managed to stir up the atmosphere in the scene with just a few words. Even Li Kaiming, who was in the scene, felt a little ripple in his originally calm state of mind.
We have come this far and are one game away from entering the national championship. How can we not be excited?
His teammates are also gearing up and eager to give it a try, as if they have been stimulated!
Just when Calvin was introducing the players from both sides, Li Kaiming suddenly remembered the system prompts in his ears, and at the same time, a holographic projection of the system tasks appeared in his sight.
【Task】

Seeing the familiar task interface, Li Kaiming was also overjoyed!
After the last mission ended, there was no movement in the system. He thought he would have to wait ten days and a half for the next mission!
Seeing today's task requirements, he turned his head and glanced at the opposite bench, and at the same time, he held a moment of silence in his heart for the opposite center.
Next to the Miners' bench, center Claude Britton suddenly shuddered with emotion. When he looked back, he found nothing. He scratched his head in confusion, then turned back and continued to listen to the coach's instructions... …
