Chapter 34: Under the Sign

As the opening game of the NCAA mad March 8th is getting closer and closer, Anjie spends more time in the basketball court every day. In addition to practicing at night, Anjie will also come to the gymnasium to train by himself when he has no classes in the morning. Old Austin is no surprise that Anjie is already waiting for him at the door when he comes in the morning. He is even considering whether to give Anjie the key to the gymnasium alone.

Ricard was also studying the information of his opponents he might encounter all night at home. Successfully entering March Madness did not satisfy Ricard. He was thinking about how to break out in March Madness with a strong team. It's true that he can never be satisfied.

Everyone of the Tornado team is unfamiliar with the March Crazy game, but this has not affected their preparation status. The Tornado team is a grassroots team, a team without stars, and they are the names of the group. Unlike those NCAA giants, the Tornado team itself has nothing, so naturally they are not afraid of failure.

No one cared too much about the fresh blood in this March Crazy Championship. They are not traditional famous families and are not as popular as the stars in the US. Anjie? Compared with the brilliant names in the March Crazy Championship, Anjie had to stand behind.

While the Tornado team was actively preparing for the battle, the mysterious battle list gradually surfaced.

North Carolina, ucLa, Memphis, Louisville.........The names of all the wealthy families are jaw-dropping.

Derek Rose, Michael Beasley, O.J. Mayo, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love... Yi's appearances are dazzling.

All of this attracted everyone's attention. As for the whirlwind team that was considered to be just a formality, who would care?

This season, no one can guarantee that they will win the final victory. Espn's commentators are completely in chaos, and the ranking predictions are updated faster than women's clothes.

When Ricard got their first opponent in the March Crazy Championship, he almost collapsed to the ground. According to the rules of NCAA, the champions of each league will directly advance to the second round as a seed team, so if you are lucky enough in the round 64, you may be able to draw a relatively weak team. But the first opponent encountered by the Tornado team can be said to be no weaker than the seed team.

The Pacific Tenth League is originally the strongest college sports league in the United States, and the Tornados' opponent Stanford is also a strong team in the Pacific Tenth League. Although they failed to win the Pacific Tenth League championship this season, they lost to Russell Westbrook and Kevin.bsp;                                                                                                                                                                                                                        �

The decent Ricard, in addition to having certain strength, luck is also an indispensable part of the dark horse. Ricard obviously has no good luck. They met an opponent who needs to fight to the death in the first game.

"Damn it, where is the MIT that was agreed upon." Ricard held his forehead helplessly.

................

The next day, all the media and newspapers were in a turmoil. No matter how bad Anger was, he led the team to defeat Michael Beasley and D.J. Augustine in the regular season, which can be said to be a big show. Now Anger will confront the two brothers Lopez again, and the media will not use this to hype Yis, but they are sorry for Ricard's "good luck".

God is like he is joking with An Jie, which makes him meet a real superstar level in the first match of March Crazy. Love will definitely express deep sympathy for An Jie at this moment, because he has experienced the hardships of playing against these two brothers in the regular season.

Brooke Lopez averaged 9.3 points and 8.2 rebounds per game in the regular season. Whether watching data alone or watching game videos, Brooke Lopez demonstrated his strong dominance.

Strong enough body and excellent height, accurate mid-range shooting, perfect control of the inside, and Chebrook Lopez needed for excellent inside.

Brooke's younger brother Robin Lopez is also not to be underestimated. Although the average number of 9.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game is not worth mentioning compared to his brother, he also has the experience of scoring a large double-double with his brother. As a team's newcomer, Robin Lopez even gave the team's highest 83 blocks in the regular season, breaking the team's rookie record for season blocks and ranking second in history with the largest number of blocks in Stanford's history. Such blocks are beyond the reach of both Anger and Brooke.

There is no doubt that almost everyone believes that the Tornado has failed. The only highlight of this game is how much Anjie can do when facing a strong enemy. The reporters also rushed into the Stanford University campus and interviewed the two Lopez brothers' evaluation of Anjie.

"He is a player that must not be underestimated. There are many excellent players who have helped me prove this point, so I will not take this game lightly. The outside world seems to have announced that we have entered the next round, but I think the Tornado team led by Angel is definitely not an opponent that can be easily defeated." Brooke Lopez said everything in his heart. He has never underestimated Angel. From the video, it can be seen that this Chinese boy is definitely not a data brush for a weak team.

"Anger? I know him, the tall guy who is as thin as a bamboo pole. To be honest, is his weight as heavy as Fords?" After Robinyi said, the reporter cooperated to point the camera at the point guard who was practicing shooting on the training ground, Kelly Fords. "My brother and I will look at him to death. Our goal is more than the top 64."

From the interview, we can see that the two brothers have completely different personalities, but this does not affect their tacit understanding on the court. When facing two strong opponents, even Divac felt that he had never been so worried about Anjie.

Of course, An Jie also knew how powerful the opponent he was to face was, but what could he do besides training hard? This game has been hyped by the media who smelled the fishy smell for several days, and it has become the most popular game in the round of 64. Time is passing every day, and the game day is coming.

Due to the NCAA Crazy March Championship, in order to ensure fairness, both teams play in a neutral field.

Sitting in the unfamiliar locker room, the players of the Tornado team were a little nervous. The opponents they faced this time may be stronger than the University of Kansas.

"Why, are you scared?" Ricard looked at the players sitting below. He had been talking about the tactics he should talk about for several days, and now there is nothing to arrange.

"Damn it, didn't Michael Beasley lose to us too? I'm afraid!" Anthony Ben suddenly stood up and encouraged himself.

"I bet on $2 with Damanniu, and I can't lose if I just scored $2." The person who spoke was Asajin, who partnered with An Jie in the inside.

"Anger, how are you?" Ricard watched the key to their victory in this game.

"I just want to say that Mr. Divac has taught me a lot of small moves in the past two days." Anjie looked at Divac with a smirk, but who knew that the old demon was even more happy.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the locker room became much more relaxed. No matter who the opponent was, how could he know the difference without Bibi?

"I'm very happy to be able to sit on the scene to explain the game to everyone! This is the time that the cyclone team has appeared in the NCAA March Crazy Championship since 1986. Five minutes later, the game between the Iowa State University Typhoons and Stanford University Crimson Team will start. Welcome to the Ames City Channel 3, and we will broadcast the game live for you throughout the whole process. Here are Paul Philips and Bill, we will come back in five minutes." Philips said that after the advertisement was inserted, he drank two big mouthfuls of water. He knew that his voice would have to be exhausted in the next game.

"I didn't expect that we could actually comment on the game for our hometown team in March Crazy Field." Bill is now more like an impatient fan than a commentator.

"The showdown between Angel and the Lopez brothers is exciting to think about." Philips sorted out his clothes, and the camera was about to return to them. The fans of both sides around the commentator were almost half of them, and they were shouting wildly for their team. Those young men are probably already in the players' passage now.

Morris still had to watch the game through the TV screen in the hospital, and he should have appeared there. But it doesn't matter, someone is fighting on the court for him now.

"Come on, partner, it's time for us to play." An Jie lightly kissed the two jerseys he was wearing as usual.

The Stanford University players have already introduced them, and I am waiting for the live broadcaster to call out the name of the Tornado Team.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome, the tenacious dark horse from Ames City, the Iowa State University Tornado!"

"Let's go! Let's go!" Mike Taylor waved at everyone in the front, and then ran out first. In time, the flashes in the stands flashed and the cheers of fans were higher than the waves. This is March Madness, this is the highest level of the American College League.

Suddenly, the sound of the air defense alarm sounded at the scene. Ames fans knew what this meant. They all echoed the harsh air defense alarm and cheered, saying that the organizer was really attentive.
