"Let's congratulate the Wildcats for advancing to the Elite Eight and thank the Speedy for giving us a great matchup."
"Although Blake Griffin had a huge double-double with 24 points and 21 rebounds, basketball is a sport of five people, and the Wildcats explained the true meaning of team basketball for us."
“Looking forward to the Wildcats continuing to surprise us in the Elite Eight!”
"This game is over, see you next time."
In the live commentary box, Barkley and Kenny Smith were doing the finishing work after the game.
Obviously, tonight's game is a collision between team basketball and superstar basketball.
The final result was that the team was superior in basketball skills and had the last laugh.
It's not that superstar basketball is inferior to team basketball, but that the superstar is not strong enough.
In the center of the field, Sun Yi, as the hero of the victory, was surrounded by his teammates, celebrating this hard-won victory.
Some teammates were dishonest and put their hands on him.
"Damn it! It's a celebration, but don't touch it." Sun Yi joked.
Then, Sun Yi was lifted up by the Wildcats players and thrown into the air.
The Wildcats are certainly worth celebrating as they reach the Elite Eight for the second consecutive year.
At the same time, the best player of the game was displayed on the big screen.
Without any suspense, Sun Yi won this honor again.
In the end, when Curry was restricted by double-teams, he stood up and scored 5 points in a row to help the Wildcats seal the victory.
In this game, Sun Yi scored 30 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks in the 35 minutes he played.
Curry also performed well, making 5 of 9 three-pointers and scoring a near-double-double with 23 points and 9 assists.
Dabai Bian also played well and played an important role on the defensive end, grabbing 12 rebounds and blocking 4 shots.
On the offensive end, he also scored 12 points by eating cakes.
After all, the Speedy team has an obvious advantage inside, and with Da Baibian's rough inside skills, it is difficult to score.
After this game, his draft ranking may move up a bit, into the middle of the second round.
On the other side, the NBA bosses who were watching the game in the box left the arena one after another.
For them, the purpose of this trip has basically been achieved, and they already have their own plans in mind, and will make their selections in the draft in the near future.
Returning to the game scene, after the Wildcats finished their simple celebration, Sun Yi walked to the sidelines, took a look at the Rapids bench, and found that almost all the Rapids players had left.
"What a bunch of arrogant fools."
After Sun Yi finished complaining, he came to the sidelines and was instantly surrounded by media reporters.
"Sun, you scored 30 points in March Madness for the first time, how do you feel about it?"
"I'm in a very good mood now. This is a typical Wildcats victory. When I felt hot, I got the full help from my teammates. I am very grateful to them." Sun Yi answered truthfully.
"Now that you have entered the Elite Eight, are you confident that you can further advance to the Final Four?"
"I don't know if I can reach the semi-finals. I can only say that I will give my best in every game and do my best to help the team win."
Sun Yi did not answer this question directly and adopted a curve to save the country to confuse the public.
The blonde Sports Illustrated reporter who asked the question frowned slightly, obviously this was not the answer she wanted.
She found that the young man in front of her was too cunning to be fooled.
Isn't it said that if a person is not passionate, his youth is in vain? !
Why can't I see a trace of youthful madness in this guy?
The blonde reporter from Sports Illustrated stopped worrying and continued to ask the next question.
After Sun Yi answered a few irrelevant questions in a satisfactory manner, the post-match interview came to an end.
After the interview, Sun Yi walked to the players' tunnel and returned to the locker room to join the team.
…
…
One day later, all the Sweet Sixteen games were over, and all the teams that advanced to the Elite Eight were announced.
This also means that the lineup for the next round is out.
In the Western Conference Finals, the Davidson Wildcats will face the University of Connecticut Huskies, and the winner will advance to the Final Four as the conference champion.
This year's University of Connecticut is very strong and has reached the final four of this tournament in its original history.
There are four players in their lineup who can enter the NBA in the future.
Such a luxurious lineup is only inferior to the University of North Carolina, which has five quasi-NBA players.
With such a powerful opponent, head coach McClop naturally takes it very seriously.
Although this year has tied last year's best record, who doesn't want to go further?
Moreover, this year's Wildcats team is much stronger than last year and has the qualifications to reach the final four.
In the afternoon, head coach McClop called the players into the hotel conference room for a pre-match tactical meeting.
"Our opponent in the next round is the University of Connecticut, the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. I think everyone should have expected it."
With the Wildcats assigned to the West Division, this battle is inevitable.
To become the division champion and advance to the Final Four, the Wildcats must defeat the strongest team in the division, the University of Connecticut.
Seeing the serious expressions on his disciples' faces, McClop nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Next, I will introduce their core players in detail."
"Point guard AJ Price averages 14.6 points and 6.1 assists per game. He is good at using pick-and-rolls for jump shots, and he has the ability to shoot three-pointers..."
"Kemba Walker, a freshman, has very comprehensive skills, can shoot suddenly, and plays very smartly..."
"Small forward Jeff Adrian, 2.01 meters tall, has great physical fitness, excellent basketball sense, but no shooting ability..."
"Center Hasheem Thabeet, with a height of 2.21 meters, is an Optimus Prime inside and has excellent athletic ability. His defensive range is within the three-second zone. He averages 4.3 blocks per game. Predicted draft ranking Never dropped out of the top three picks.”
After listening to McClop's introduction, Sun Yi, who was sitting below, basically understood the strength of the University of Connecticut.
It's not a big deal that Thabeet is the most valued by McClop.
His statistics are very impressive, and his actual ability may be similar to that of Da Baibian.
Whiteside, who has no independent offensive ability, can average a double-double per game with the help of Curry and Sun Yi, raising his draft pick.
Therefore, data sometimes cannot be used as a reference.
What Sun Yi values the most is Kemba Walker. As a freshman, he doesn't know what kind of performance Walker can perform at this stage. He is a potential unknown factor.
After head coach McClop finished speaking, he asked assistant coach Smith to send the collected information to each player.
After the players read the information, McClop continued: "Now I start to lay out the offensive and defensive tactics for the next game."
Sun Yi and others each received their own tasks.
After the tactical meeting, McClop asked the players to go back and have a good rest. The hotel could not be opened without his order.
After the team was disbanded, Sun Yi did not go back to his room, but came to the gym to exercise, seizing every minute and every second to improve his strength.
