On March 29, 2014, FedEx Arena in Memphis, Tennessee, is the home court of the NBA team Memphis Grizzlies, but the one playing the game at FedEx Arena at this moment is not the Memphis Grizzlies.
As we all know, in the United States, the popularity of basketball in March belongs to the NCAA, and at this time March Madness has entered the Elite Eight. .
On the court, wearing blue and white jerseys is the team from the University of California, Los Angeles, the UCLA Bruins, and the opponent is the University of Dayton Flyers.
The University of Dayton Flyers are not a traditional strong team in the NACC, but they have made it all the way to the Elite Eight this year, and may even reach the Final Four.
The score on the electronic scorer was 62:65. The University of Dayton Flyers led UCLA by three points, and there was only 1.5 seconds left on the game timer.
What does this mean? Representing UCLA, he only had one last chance to shoot, and he could only shoot a three-pointer. He made the shot, and the game entered overtime. If he missed the three-pointer, UCAL would fall to the Elite Eight.
"Lee" UCLA Bruins head coach Steve Alford looked at a player with black hair and yellow skin.
This is the second time that head coach Steve Alford has looked at the player from China in Asia like this at the end of the game.
Li Hao, Li Ritian, a domineering name.
Two days ago, in the Sweet Sixteen game, the UCLA Bruins played the University of Florida Gators at FedEx Arena in Memphis. There were two minutes left in the game, and the UCLA Bruins trailed the University of Florida 60:68. Gators 8 points.
Alford knew very well that if he didn't do something, his team would stop at the Sweet Sixteen this year. And just when Alford was considering a last-ditch effort, out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone sitting far away. Department Li Hao.
Then the scene of Li Hao shooting a three-pointer emerged from the depths of his memory. It was before the start of March Madness. Before March Madness, the Bruins head coach had a low influence on Li Hao.
Yes, short. When the NCAA started in early November, Li Hao was only 175cm tall. Four months later, at the end of the NCAA regular season, Li Hao's height had jumped to 195cm.
During the entire regular season, head coach Alford paid basically no attention to Li Hao. Even Alford didn't know how Li Hao entered the first team.
Regarding this issue, it is impossible for Alford to know anything in his life, because it involves the mysterious power of the East.
Alford noticed that Li Hao was a bet between players before the start of March Madness. This bet was very healthy, and the loser had to buy the other person a drink.
Swipe~~swipe~~swipe, a series of hollow netting sounds sounded on the training ground. Li Hao won the bet. Only then did Alford realize that the dwarf, who had only been a few months old, had actually grown taller than himself.
175 is considered very good among normal people, but among basketball players, it can only be regarded as a dwarf. Head coach Alford was also a player.
Alford, who is 188cm tall, was selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the third overall pick in the second round of 1987. He then played in the NBA for five seasons, playing for the Dallas Mavericks and the Golden State Warriors (this is what I found, I don’t know). Accurate or not).
Speaking of which, Alford has a connection with UCLA Bruins star Reggie Miller. In the 1987 draft, the Indiana Pacers selected UCLA's Reggie Miller, but at the time, Indiana Pacers fans wanted the team to choose a homegrown player. Alford.
Although the truth is late, it will never be absent.
………………………………
Alford, who thought of Li Hao's three-pointer, made a seemingly crazy decision. He let Li Hao come on the court. Before that, Li Hao had never actually played in a game.
The UCLA Bruins have a total of fifteen players this season, but there are only eight regular players who really get stable time. The player who gets the most time among the remaining seven is named Noah Allen, who averages 3.8 minutes per game.
One can imagine what it will be like when Alford replaces Li Hao, who has never played in a game before.
"In the Bruins' previous games, this oriental-faced player has never appeared on the field. Has the Bruins coach given up on this game?" The on-site commentator could not even find Li Hao's information.
"I've called a few Bruins games, and the first time I saw this guy I thought he was a loyal fan of the team," another commentator joked.
"I bet even the most loyal Bruins fans can't pronounce this Eastern name." Well, this commentator is probably possessed by Barkley.
In fact, the Bruins fans in the stands were really talking when they saw Li Hao coming on the court. They really didn't know and couldn't call Li Hao's name.
"Brother~~~Don't be nervous." After the coach arranged the tactics, Zach LaVine, a good friend of the team, came specially to relieve Li Hao's pressure.
nervous? That didn't exist at all. All Li Hao had was excitement, turning the tide before it fell, and holding the building back from falling. This is what a passionate man should do.
So at this moment, Li Hao just wanted to say one thing to Zach LaVine: "Go away, don't stop me from filling the cup."
"Oh~~~This Dongfang No. 8 seems to be playing the No. 1 position. He received a pass from his teammate, he controlled the ball for half the court, and he~~~Oh~~~God, he shot."
As the commentator exclaimed, Li Hao, who had just left the center circle logo with the ball, drew his gun and shot directly two steps away from the defensive player.
"Damn guy", the fans who saw Li Hao's random shots in the stands were already scolding him.
On the bench on the sidelines, head coach Alford was so angry that he jumped because Li Hao's goal was completely different from his tactics.
Brush~~
"Oh~~~ I love this guy to death." In just one second, the attitude of the fans who had just scolded Li Hao had changed 360 degrees.
"No, man, didn't you just call him a damn guy?" the person next to him asked.
"No, don't talk nonsense, be careful I will sue you for slander." This is a fan, who can change his face as quickly as turning the page of a book.
"He shot~~~He scored~~~a super long-distance three-pointer." The commentator secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily he didn't say anything teasing.
On the sidelines, the head coach who had jumped just now looked confused. Who am I? I was there? How did this goal go in?
The players on the bench put their heads in their hands, showing an expression of disbelief.
However, everything on the sidelines did not attract Li Hao's attention at this moment. Li Hao, who scored the goal, was not proud and immediately retreated to the half court to prepare to defend the opponent's next attack.
Other Bruins players also reacted quickly. Although Li Hao's three-point handicap was narrowed to 5 points, it would be in vain if he could not prevent the opponent from catching the ball.
The NACC is different from the NBA. A round in the NBA only lasts 24 seconds, while a round in the NACC lasts a full 35 seconds (changed to 30 seconds a year later). Even if Li Hao only spent 5 seconds in a round just now, the remaining time can be at most Let the UCLA Bruins attack for two more possessions.
With a 5-point lead, the opponent will definitely wait until the last moment to take a shot.
