Trojans players are used to this scene, joking with each other, competing to see who has more posters, and even competing to see who gets scolded worse.
Different from when I first arrived, there were more and more fans of theirs starting from the afternoon of yesterday. Although the locals did not follow martial ethics and took advantage of the home field advantage to occupy the best position in advance, their fans also occupied a lot of territory. Give support to the locations where each player's vehicle will pass.
The other three participating teams could not adapt.
Listening to the shouts of "Beat LA" or "Trojans are about to be great" outside the car window, all I feel is noise, without the excitement of the Trojans players.
Compared with the number of fans who come to Indianapolis, the three of them combined cannot match the Trojans. The titles of 'dark horse' and 'civilian team' have brought too many passerby fans to the Trojans at this stage. .
Not to mention compared with the 'best team off the field' Steam Oven Workers, who were sitting on a home defeat.
This left the three teams with no room for survival in terms of off-field support from the Trojans and Steam Oven Workers.
The unanimous reaction from the players of the three teams - blame the Trojans!
This team is so arrogant, look how exciting it is to the local fans.
The dark horses were already eye-catching, and no one wanted to be in the background. Now they are even more hostile to the Trojans.
The fans of Team Three regard the Trojans as a thorn in their side. They now feel lonely coming here.
If you can't beat them, join in. The three teams are all opponents or potential opponents of the Trojans. They also joined the ranks of shouting "Beat LA".
As a result, the Trojans have done nothing now, have not conflicted with their opponents or anything, and have become the 'public enemy'.
Feeling that 'the whole world' is the enemy, Trojans fans are even more excited. They like this feeling of 'the whole world is the enemy'.
In the past, fans of the Bruins and Lakers enjoyed this feeling, but now, it's finally their turn!
…
Entering the stadium, the Trojans players got into pregame preparations.
They don't care who the hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the entire business district are fans.
They are their fans, so they must work hard to win today's game and not let them suffer in vain.
If it's an opponent's fans, that's even better, beat the opponent and let them suffer in vain.
As for the fans of the Steam Oven Workers, they were classified as rival fans by the Trojans players. Anyway, if these people bought tickets and went to the stadium to watch the game, they would definitely support the opposing team.
Focused and fully devoted, Henry Bibby saw this scene and thought of the invincible team he was in when he was in college. This state was also in this state, and this state made him become the leader of this team. After the coach, he has been working hard to make the team have it.
By 2:30 in the afternoon, Li Ao and his teammates were ready for the game, left the locker room and entered the main arena of Park Eleven Arena.
When they came out of the players tunnel, the feeling given to them by the more than 70,000 people present was a shock!
Every one of the Trojans players exclaimed and spoke with emotion.
Li Ao also sighed: "Do you think the outermost fans can see who we are? It's better to go home and watch the live broadcast just sitting there."
Teammates: "..."
Please God sew this guy's mouth shut!
Originally, there were not so many seats arranged for the semi-finals. This specification was for the finals.
But this year's basketball fans couldn't stand the overzealousness. Even the City Hall of Polis went to the NCAA officials to discuss the matter, and ultimately increased the number of spectators for both the Final Four and the finals.
Fortunately, there is still an empty area in the outermost stand. When the finals come, the load here will be fully loaded, with 90,000 seats arranged.
In fact, there is no need to worry about the outer fans not being able to see it. There are multiple real-time live broadcast screens arranged in the venue, and they are multi-angle, and the outer layers have more screens.
The teammates were overly excited after being treated like this by Li Ao. After the denunciation, they were still excited. This big scene gave them stronger motivation.
As they expected, they were booed by the majority, one against four. Now, the fans of the other three teams and the fans of the Steam Oven Workers team stood on the same front and booed them together.
It makes them want to win even more! I want these people to shut up!
Li Ao's 'Champion's Pride Level 1' team status skill had an effect at this time.
On the contrary, the players on the opposite Gators team were even more nervous. They had no experience of being booed by tens of thousands of people on the street.
But when they subconsciously turned their attention to their spiritual leader, the tension eased a lot.
Udonis Haslem!
Seeing the serious and confident face of this teammate, the rest of the Gators immediately felt confident.
Their team's winning culture mainly relies on two people, one is head coach Billy Donovan, and the other is Haslem.
On Li Ao's side, he felt the atmosphere of the scene, and then ran to the opposite side of the technical stage to greet the hospital assistant aunt and Liam, and saw the beautiful woman who had told the hospital assistant aunt on the phone in the morning that she wanted to watch the game together.
At that time, the hospital assistant's aunt asked him to be polite when greeting him and not to offend him. Her family could not afford to offend him.
And she wasn't familiar with her. She had only met her at a banquet. She saw her hugging Li Ao before the game on TV, so she contacted her to watch the game together and wanted to get to know Li Ao.
Li Ao was still curious about who it was.
Looking at it now, he said hello politely and ran away.
Paris Hilton is really untouchable.
Li Ao remembered that this person was a Lakers fan, and during an interview, he said in front of Vanessa that he wanted to give birth to a child for Kobe. Vanessa's smile at that time was so strong.
Returning to the bench, he turned his attention to the opposing players.
The first thing he looked at was the evaluation report of the opponent's strongest player.
Mike Miller, 203 cm, 92 kg, small forward, comprehensive evaluation 93, played 32 games this season, averaging 14.5 points, 6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
Li Ao bared his teeth after reading this.
For the first time in the third stage of madness, I met a player stronger than the White Mamba!
Mike Miller's season average score is not high, much worse than that of the White Mamba. He controls the number of shots in the division stage and the competition for quotas. His number of shots and points are not as good as his freshman season. Even his playing time is only one game. Average time is 26 minutes.
Because the Gators have the nation's number one high school student, Donnell Harvey, they have to allocate their shooting rights to train new players. Donnell Harvey is also a forward player.
However, Mike Miller's player evaluation report specifically picked out the crazy three-stage game.
Played in 4 games, averaging 32 minutes per game, scoring 22 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.5 steals.
Averaged 22 points per game, ranking second among all Crazy Three players!
The reason why he is not first is because the first player scored 40 points in one game and was eliminated.
Li Ao took a deep breath. He remembered that Mike Miller would participate in the draft this year and appear to be in the top five.
It's enough to prove how much this opponent's worth has increased by relying on the crazy three stages of the game!
His athletic ability is not good, his defense is average, and he likes to gamble and steal, but his personal offensive ability is really strong!
other people.
Haslem, 203 cm, 104 kg, center, overall rating of 84, averaging 11.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1 steal and 0.9 blocks per game.
Donnell Harvey, 203 cm, 203 cm, 95 kg, power forward/small forward, comprehensive evaluation of 81, averaging 10 points, 7 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks per game.
Kenny Vick, 193 cm, 87 kg, shooting guard, overall evaluation of 83, averaging 10.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
Teddy Dupuy, 178 cm, 75 kg, point guard, overall rating of 80, averaging 8.6 points, 1.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game.
Five starters, at least excellent level.
Li Ao took a look at his side. White Mamba had 92, Granville had 88, Trepagnier had 79, and Charles had 77. With him being a bit of a stickler, the starting lineup seemed to be about the same on paper.
In terms of the substitute lineup, the opponent has Matt Bonner, a freshman with a 74 rating, Brett Nelson, also a freshman, with a 78 rating, Brent Wright with a 75 rating, Justin Hamilton with a 71 rating, and a 70 overall rating. Magill Parker has amazing depth.
On their side, Nate Hale, Shelby Jordan, Sam Clancy, and Evanisco, who are emerging as substitutes with a comprehensive evaluation of 70, look inferior to those on the opposite side, but they still have Brusenthal has a comprehensive evaluation of 82. After Li Ao started and the Bruins' Moiso was eliminated, Brusenthal became the strongest substitute in the media's mouth.
The paper strength of the substitutes is also difficult to distinguish.
Another tough battle!
For some reason, seeing such a strong opponent made him even more excited, just like when he played against the Steam Oven Workers.
The big screen showed him, and the undisguised strong fighting spirit on his face caused more than 20,000 Trojans fans at the scene to burst into violent cheers, which once overwhelmed the boos of nearly 50,000 other fans.
The teammates were also infected by Li Ao. In addition to the emotion of wanting to win, they also had a desire to enjoy the moment.
In such a big scene, if you don’t enjoy the joy of basketball, you will regret it for the rest of your life!
At this time, Li Ao received the task prompt!
"The final stage:
Goal: The host needs to lead the team to the finals.
Reward: 10,000 achievement points, 1 orange-level equipment upgrade card, 3 basic attribute points. "
"The legendary season has come to an end. The host once said that he would make the Trojans great...Mission: Triggered on the eve of greatness."
"The Great Eve:
Goal 1: The hosts need to limit Mike Miller's scoring to less than 20 points in this game.
Goal 2: The host’s points and assists in this game must be higher than the season average. (The host averaged 13.7 points and 3.7 assists this season.)
Goal 3: The host needs to lead the team to win this game.
Reward: 3000 achievement points, Mike Miller three-point shooting action package. "
Mission rewards are getting more and more luxurious! But the difficulty of completion, that is, the difficulty of winning, is getting higher and higher!
Finally, he is getting an action package again, and it is a three-pointer. The basic skill he is ready to develop after this season is three-point shooting.
But Mike Miller's three-point move... is accurate, but the action of sticking his butt and leaning forward...
Forget it, at least it has a training efficiency bonus, I will change it later if I find something good-looking.
Suddenly, he reacted.
This damn game hasn't even started yet, but he has already begun to dislike the rewards.
Feeling a little agitated, he quickly looked at the opponent's player evaluation report. Relying on the opponent's strong overall strength, his restlessness calmed down.
…
At 2:58, players from both teams came to the court.
The manic atmosphere mixed with boos and cheers made players on both sides want to kill their opponents.
The starting lineup of the two teams remains the same. The Trojans sent out a combination of Granville, Trey Paganier, Li Ao, White Mamba, and Charles; the Gators sent out Teddy Dupuy, Kenny Vick, and Mike -The combination of Miller, Donnell Harvey and Haslem.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, as the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air, the game began!
Haslem quickly jumped up and beat Charles to win the jump ball, and the Gators attacked first.
Teddy Dupuy immediately started after receiving the ball and advanced quickly. He took one step from the free throw line, but he was the first person on the team to reach the frontcourt, and passed by Charles and went straight into the three-pointer. The line... was posted by Granville.
The opponent's two forwards trusted their teammates very much and had already received the basket. Teddy Dupuy withdrew from the three-point line and started dribbling. He said provocatively to Granville: "You are going to cry again today, you crybaby." .”
The two are from Los Angeles, the same age, and played against each other in high school, but Granville came into contact with basketball later and was beaten many times. Yes, that's right, Granville was tortured and cried.
The two graduated from high school in 1998. Teddy Dupuy ranked 20th among high school students in the United States, and Granville was not on the list.
But Glanville is undeterred. He is no longer the same person he was in high school and now has a strong sense of confidence.
Today is different from the past!
Why is it the other party who provokes me? Because the other party is afraid!
Granville allowed himself to put himself into the thinking mode of the handsome boy from their team. Inadvertently, he even put on his expression, showing a smile that was three parts disdainful, three parts mocking, and four parts careless.
Teddy Dupuy's breathing became rapid. Why!
Why was he so strong in high school and had to fight for others in college? And this crybaby, mama's boy, has become the leader of a winning team?
Strangely enough, the Trojans gave people the feeling that everyone was very important. Even when Sam Clancy, a fool with only one function, came on to play the main offense, the audience felt that the Trojans were giving Sam Clancy Get started.
Just when Teddy Dupuy was about to take the lead, he felt a sharp look.
Haslem's gaze!
Facing Mike Miller, who was ranked higher than him in high school, he couldn't even say he was convinced, but facing Haslem, who was ranked lower than him, he was willing to be convinced.
As a teammate, he knows all too well how much effort Haslem has put into becoming stronger.
Just talking about basketball, he will be in awe when he thinks of Haslem.
Teddy Dupuy calmed down instantly, stopped all fancy dribbling, controlled the ball honestly, and directed his teammates to attack.
Granville was about to make a surprise attack to see if he could steal the ball, but the opponent suddenly protected the ball. He could only regretfully stop and defend honestly.
After his teammates moved into position, Teddy Dupuy began to break through!
The speed is amazing! Granville is already fast, but Teddy Dupuy is even faster.
In the period of high school when physical fitness was extremely high, Teddy Dupuy's beating of Granville was not just a matter of the length of time he had been exposed to basketball. His physical fitness was obviously better than half a level.
Granville tried very hard, but still couldn't get close, and Teddy Dupuy broke into the inside.
But he immediately changed defense and blocked the flank.
Li Ao had already moved to the middle to intercept Teddy Dupuy's breakthrough line. Charles also moved to the left to block Donnell Harvey's cut. White Mamba rushed to the basket, protecting the frame and protecting the ball. plate.
Glanville rushed in front of Mike Miller to prevent the opponent from receiving the ball.
Tacit and smooth defensive operation!
However, Mike Miller used the pick-and-roll!
Haslem quickly pulled to the outside when Charles moved his feet. As a power forward, he was fast and moved to the wing in time to help Mike Miller block Granville.
Teddy Dupuy, who was shrunk by Li Ao, passed the ball. Mike Miller caught the ball, stuck his butt out, leaned forward, and shot a three-pointer...
Hit!
allow! So damn accurate!
Li Ao saw the (3/20) prompt floating in front of his eyes, withdrew his attention and ran to the frontcourt.
For tasks like this, the priority is after winning the game.
Working hard to get those rewards is just to win.
When the Trojans attacked, Granville, Li Ao, and Bai Mamba began to cooperate in a small area.
Li Ao provided White Mamba with a cover from the wing and then strode in. Mike Miller changed defense and was unable to catch up. Donnell Harvey followed suit.
With a height of 203 centimeters and a wingspan of 211 centimeters, Haslem may not be able to stop Li Ao from cutting in and catching the ball.
But Li Ao did not shoot after receiving the ball, but turned and passed to the bottom corner.
White Mamba caught the ball and made a three-pointer...hit!
Reply to Mike Miller!
The two looked at each other and felt each other's high fighting spirit.
Not only are Teddy Dupuy and Glanville competing against each other, but Mike Miller and White Mamba, known as the two strongest strikers in this year's Crazy Three, also want to compete in this game.
In addition to these two groups, Donnell Harvey also wants to defeat Li Ao.
The media actually said that this guy is the most talented freshman this year. Where does that leave him, the No. 1 high school student in the United States?
However, all he got in exchange for his provocative gaze and clumsy trash talk was the elbow that the other party secretly poked during the confrontation, causing him pain.
This made him even more unhappy!
Angry, he moved more actively after reaching the frontcourt to look for scoring opportunities.
Yes, his way of expressing his anger is to fight harder.
He is not stupid. If he wants to prove that he is stronger, he can only play better.
It is precisely because of this that he, who was in his freshman year and was still a blue-collar assistant for his teammates, has already had a first-round pick on this year's draft prediction list before he even finished his freshman year. The market in the middle.
He really seized the opportunity!
After White Mamba switched to guard the basket, he chased Haslem and made up for it when Mike Miller received the ball.
Mike Miller's height and wingspan are inferior to that of the White Mamba. He did not make a strong shot and found his teammates' opportunities and hoisted the ball to the basket.
Li Ao actively contracted, but before he could do it, Donnell Harvey quickly jumped up after receiving the ball and hit a layup!
Li Ao quickly reviewed his opponent's offensive coordination in his mind. It was so strong!
