Memphis, Sun Jianguo Middle School.
Sun Jianguo stared at the TV screen. On the coffee table in front of him, there were more than a dozen cigarette butts lying in the ashtray.
He sat on the sofa, as motionless as a sculpture.
Sun Lan, who was next to him, came to his senses first and patted Sun Jianguo excitedly, "Old Sun! Kaiming wins! Hahaha!"
Sun Jianguo trembled and looked at his wife, his eyes still full of shock. He asked again and again, "Kai Ming, is it a sure kill?"
Sun Lan grabbed Sun Jianguo hard, causing the latter to scream, "Now let's see if it's still a dream!"
Sun Jianguo finally believed the reality, Memphis won!
He immediately burst out laughing until a thick layer of phlegm came up in his throat, causing him to cough.
Sun Lan on the side was startled, and immediately stepped forward to pat her husband's back with her hand, and then said with reproach in her tone, "I asked you to whip so much..."
Sun Jianguo waved his hand, "Hahaha, it's okay, I'm happy today!"
…
In St. Louis, Jiang Shanyu covered her lips with her hands, staring at the results of the game on the TV screen with her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
That guy actually won?
Although she hoped in her heart that Li Kaiming would win the game, when Connington scored a three-pointer, her rationality told her that Li Kaiming might have to go home this time.
However, to her surprise, the next moment the guy showed her how miracles are born!
He accomplished what everyone thought was impossible!
Moreover, he still won the victory with a perfect posture and data.
After today, Jiang Shan believes that the sports companies headed by Naike and Adi Wang will never underestimate Li Kaiming again. They will just be like a pug, begging for Li Kaiming to sign a contract.
Facing such a behemoth, Jiang Shan felt a little powerless for a while.
Even if Li Kaiming abandons her and chooses Naik and Adi Wang, what can she do with Li Kaiming? Li Kaiming only reached a preliminary agreement with him and did not sell himself to her.
At this time, besides being happy for Li Kaiming, Jiang Shan was more worried about the company.
She really had a good eye and found a potential spokesperson, but what she didn't expect was that this spokesperson grew up too fast...

University of Memphis Athletic Department.
Leonard and Daisy both stared at the computer screen in front of them without saying a word.
After a while, Daisy asked quietly, with a hint of uncertainty in her tone, "Director, are we winning?"
Leonard didn't speak, so Daisy asked again in a louder voice.
Leonard came back to his senses, but he did not answer Daisy's question immediately. Instead, he took off his reading glasses from his tall nose, and then took out a handkerchief from his pocket. After rubbing the glasses a few times to remove the dirt on the lenses, I put them on again.
He tried hard to control his emotions, but Daisy still heard a hint of excitement in his words.
"That's right, Daisy, we won! We're in the semi-finals!"
Daisy was not an experienced old man like Leonard. When she heard the supervisor's answer, Daisy shouted excitedly, jumped up and spun around in the office.
"I knew that Li Kaiming would not let us down!"
Leonard also said with rare emotion, "Yes, this guy is really born for miracles!"
How could a seasoned sports director like Leonard not see that after the game entered the second half, Pastner called a timeout in a timely manner, and the rest of the time was just a show-off.
But you can't blame him. After all, Memphis' lineup is here, and being able to reach the quarterfinals has exceeded most people's expectations.
The reason why we won today was because that Chinese boy worked so hard for Kerry to come back!
Thinking of this, Leonard suddenly had an evil idea in his mind. This guy is still young, so why not keep him for another year? Maybe he can win the championship next year with him as the core!

University of Southern Mississippi, in a dormitory.
Several black students were huddled in front of a computer, staring at the game on the screen and discussing it.
One of them, an old-looking black man with beards and beards, suddenly said, "Wolino, haven't you fought against this guy before? Was he so powerful back then?"
"Yes, Volino, just tell us!" Several students next to him also echoed.
A young black man who was obviously much taller than the others cleared his throat. After seeing everyone focusing on him, he slowly said, "Li Kaiming and I met in the semifinals of the C-USA League playoffs. That game was his first start. I looked down on him at first, thinking he was just a water cooler with lots of luck. But what I didn’t expect was that in the first game he started, he beat me..."
When several people around him heard this, they all took a breath!
As good friends, they naturally knew about Volino's physical talent, but they were blown away by an Asian boy when they met!
This Li Kaiming is so terrifying!
The bearded black man continued to ask, "What happens after that?"
Volino smiled, "After the game, I apologized to him because I made a discriminatory move against Asians before the game. This may be the reason why I was beaten, haha!"
He paused, and then continued, but his next words shocked the others, "I told Li at the beginning that with his strength, he could break into the top 16 in the country! In fact, I didn't think so, to be honest , in my opinion, it would be good for Memphis’ lineup to enter March Madness, but what I didn’t expect is that he actually led Memphis all the way here. Moreover, this guy’s strength is obviously stronger than before! I didn’t know he How to train..."
Speaking of this, Volino showed an expression of longing on his face. How great it would be if he was the one who led the team from never being favored to the top four in the country...
