The cameras at the scene immediately focused on the player who made the stunning big shot, a player who was two meters tall and wearing blue and white No. 34.
Li Kaiming stared murderously in the direction of the camera, leaving an eternal memory in history...
While the basketball was being batted away by him, the system's task prompts and the on-site whistle also sounded.
beep!
[System]: Congratulations to the host, for completing the B-level basic task and gaining 15 attribute points and 200 points. Complete the B-level advanced mission, get a badge upgrade, activate the lucky wheel, and get a chance to turn the wheel!
A lot of bonus special effects that dazzled Li Kaiming appeared on the system prompts, but he had no time to pay attention to what was inside.
Because under the leadership of Pastner, the Memphis Tigers players rushed over together, surrounded him in the middle, and then jumped up and down, screaming and roaring!
"We did it, we're in the finals!"
The Butler University players seemed to have been drained of all their energy, their eyes lost their energy and they became listless.
Hayward stared blankly in the direction of the basket, motionless.
Just now, he thought he had a chance to keep the suspense of the game until overtime.
But in the next second, the yellow-skinned guy ended his thoughts with a smash-like volleyball hat and a roar that he had never heard but knew at first glance to be a curse word.
It also ended Stevens’ thoughts!
Before this, Stevens was the youngest and most promising coach in the NCAA, but today, he actually lost to a guy younger than him.
In fact, he has never regarded Pastner as an opponent. His opponents are only those old guys who can enter the Hall of Fame when they retire.
But who would have thought that he would actually lose!
I am convinced that I lost!
Matt Howard came over and patted Hayward on the shoulder, "Gordon, we all tried our best, and those guys are stronger than we thought!"
Hayward slowly turned his head and stared at Howard with his deep eyes. After a while, he silently nodded in agreement.
In the commentary box, when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Koslov no longer dared to look up at the camera.
Sharp and Matt Bullard, with smiles on their faces, explained to the camera, "Tonight at Lucas Oil Stadium, the University of Memphis once again created a miracle! They shattered doubts and defeated Bart 77:75. The University of Memphis has reached the March Madness finals again after two years! Let us congratulate the University of Memphis!"
The on-site director also showed the statistics of both sides on the big screen after the game.
For Memphis, Li Kaiming played 34 minutes and scored 32 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks, Elliott Williams had 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Willie Kemp had 6 points and 5 assists...
For Butler University, Gordon Hayward played 33 minutes and scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, shooting 11 of 13 from the field. Matt Howard had 18 points and 8 rebounds...
After the Memphis players celebrated, Butler University, led by coach Stevens, came to the Memphis bench to greet the Tigers.
Stevens held Pastner's hand with a gentle smile on his face, "Josh, congratulations to you, I hope you can win the championship! In this case, we can also say that we lost to the championship, and it is not a loss!"
Hearing Stevens's heartfelt blessing, Pastner also squeezed the former's hand, "Thank you, you are very strong too!"
On the other side, the starting players of Butler University were all surrounding Li Kaiming, waiting to hug and greet Li Kaiming.
The person currently hugging Li Kaiming is Hayward.
Hayward tried to control his emotions and patted Li Kaiming's chest, "Brothers, you are very strong. Congratulations to you, go win that damn championship!"
Li Kaiming also patted Hayward on the shoulder, "Thank you, Gordon, we will carry your blessings to the end!"
Looking at Hayward's slightly lonely figure as he left, Li Kaiming sympathized with him, but he didn't feel guilty about it.
Competitive sports are so cruel. If you ask him if he pities Hayward, of course he does.
But if his ending is the same as Hayward's, then forget it!
If Hayward doesn't want to lose, he can come and seek refuge with Li Kaiming!
Isn’t it easy to win? Brother, let me help you win!
After Hayward left, Butler University's No. 2 player Matt Howard also came up and hugged Li Kaiming.
Although it hurts to lose, Howard is in much better shape than Hayward. I wonder if he is used to losing.
…
The same time the game ends.
University of Memphis Athletic Department.
In the supervisor's office, assistant Daisy jumped on the spot twice, then shook supervisor Leonard's shoulders and shouted excitedly, "Director, they did it! They entered the finals! Oh my God, Li Kaiming is so awesome Oh, I admire him so much..."
Leonard broke away from Daisy's hands with a wry smile on his face, "I saw it, I'm not that blind yet. Stop shaking me. If you shake my old bones again, you will shake them to pieces!"
When Leonard said this, Daisy immediately realized that her behavior was somewhat inappropriate, and she blushed and let go of her hands.
But her tone was still very exciting, "Director, do they have a chance to win the championship this year?"
Leonard's face also showed a long-lost confident smile, "We have reached the finals, how could we not have a chance to win the championship? Is it possible that all the people along the way have been weak?"
Thinking of the Tigers' experience along the way, even the experienced Leonard was a little surprised!
From the beginning, it was difficult to even enter March Madness, to defeat the old rival University of Maryland in the first round, to narrowly pass the University of Michigan, to narrowly escape death in the conference finals against the University of Tennessee, and finally to reach the national finals despite the away disadvantage!
Such a brilliant record, looking at the entire history of the NCAA, is quite explosive!
Not to mention that there is still a chance to win the championship now...
And the reason that brought about all these changes was because of that Chinese boy who came out of nowhere...
Thinking of this, Leonard had to take a deep breath to calm down the excitement in his heart...
For many years, ever since he became the athletic director of the University of Memphis, his biggest dream has been to win an NCAA championship.
He was about to retire. In 2008, under the leadership of Rose and coach Calipali, the University of Memphis finally reached the finals.
That year, Leonard was more excited and happy than ever before, and he was finally going to realize his dream.
However, reality gave him a wake-up call. With four minutes left in the game, Memphis still held a 7-point advantage. With 2 minutes and 12 seconds left before the end of the game, Memphis expanded its advantage to 9 points!
At that time, to put it bluntly, all the Memphis fans had already opened the champagne that had been prepared and were waiting for the moment the game ended to sprinkle the victory champagne into the sky!
However, God made a huge joke with them. After that, their opponent Kansas scored 5 points in a row in 23 seconds, and Memphis gave you an opportunity that was not in use, missing 4 free throws in a row, Derrick Rose Memphis got a free throw on its last possession, but made one of two free throws.
This gave Kansas a chance. After receiving a pass from teammate Collins, their defender Mario Chalmers made a three-pointer and sent the game into overtime!
In overtime, the momentum of the game completely turned to Kansas. They scored 6 points and made all 4 free throws in one go, and finally won the third national championship trophy in the history of the University of Kansas!
The University of Memphis has become one of the most famous backdrops in history...
