For most people, the Christmas holiday is very short.

But for Tony Allen, this vacation has been hopelessly long.

During the three-week vacation, he had to fight with Wayne for six days almost every week, with only Sunday to rest.

Tony Allen felt that this vacation was more tiring than playing games.

And to top it all off... I lost a pizza for Christmas!

Of course, Wayne and Tony Allen didn't just play ball. One Sunday, they went to Oklahoma City for a tour.

But the next day, even before he could return to Stillwater, Wayne played 300 rounds with Tony Allen on a basketball court in Oklahoma City.

So, when everyone comes back after the vacation, some players' bodies are already a little out of shape.

Wayne and Tony, the "Two Young Boys from Ohio", are in good shape because they have almost never interrupted training.

Hearing that Wayne and Tony Allen had been training together throughout the holiday, the Cowboys players cast admiring glances.

As expected of the team's top-ranked player in the mock draft, and indeed of the team's two leaders, Wayne and Tony Allen are indeed working very hard!

Seeing the admiring looks of their teammates, Wayne and Tony were both very proud.

Of course, they will never tell others that they stay in school purely because they are poor, and it has nothing to do with whether they work hard or not.

During training, the state of Wayne and Tony also made Old Sutton very happy.

Others are still in recovery training, but Wayne and Tony have already started competition mode.

In the 5-on-5 simulated game, you can clearly see that Wayne and Tony are not in the same state as others.

They were able to easily defeat teammates who had been away from the court for nearly a month.

And this situation has also continued into the official competition.

In the first game after Christmas, the Cowboys played away from home against the University of Nebraska Huskers.

When it comes to the traditional fish belly in the Big 12 League, the Shellers are undoubtedly the most famous one.

They are one of three teams that have never won a championship in the NCAA tournament.

The University of Nebraska has only participated in the March Madness tournament 6 times in its history, and was eliminated in the first round each time.

The last time they participated in March Madness was in 1998.

The University of Nebraska is most famous for its women's volleyball team. Those girls with legs from the neck down are the pride of this school.

As for the basketball team...well, just look at the dismal attendance rate to see how low their popularity is.

Since the University of Nebraska itself is not strong and the Christmas break has just ended, the players have not yet returned to their best condition.

So in this game, teachers Wayne and Tony, who were in hot form, were just like beating up middle school students, taking everything they wanted on the basketball court.

In the entire first half, Wayne and Tony Allen only allowed 15 points!

The University of Nebraska's basket was almost knocked over by their players.

This is mainly because the defense of "Ohio State" is too strong for the players of the University of Nebraska.

Tony's death coil made the opponent's ball dribbling unsteady, and Wayne's excellent frame protection ability also made the opponent afraid to take action in the three-second zone.

20 minutes and 15 points, after half the game, the score became 44 to 15...

Old Sutton looked up and saw, my dear, there were only a few couples in the stands who came to fall in love in the name of watching football. It was like a game behind closed doors.

Even the scouts didn't bother to watch this game, because Wayne and Tony played against such weak opponents, which had no reference value at all.

In the second half, Wayne and Tony Allen only played five minutes before being replaced.

Because even Sutton felt a little embarrassed.

Although the strength gap between NCAA teams is large, this is normal. But today, this gap is too large and exaggerated.

When he left the game, Tony Allen had 18 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals.

Since he started getting assists on Wayne, Teacher Tony's statistics seem to have become more versatile.

Wayne scored 15 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks.

In just 20 minutes of playing time, Wayne blocked 5 shots, asking for the psychological shadow of the University of Nebraska players.

No wonder Sutton was too embarrassed to fight.

Putting these two on the field is like bullying someone.

In the end, the University of Nebraska scored 31 points.

That's right, it wasn't a certain player who scored 31 points, it was their entire team that scored 31 points.

This tied the record for the lowest score in a single game in NCAA history.

Danny Ray, coach of the Shellers, looked at the score on the big screen and wiped the sweat from his forehead in shock.

Fortunately, okay, I almost broke the lowest record. It was a near miss today...

88 to 31, the Cowboys beat the opponent on the road.

Seeing that the opponent's coach seemed quite satisfied with the result, Wayne couldn't help but shook his head.

If I had known that the game would end like this, I might as well have gone to the gym next door to watch the women's volleyball team.

Those long white legs... No, wouldn't that high-level volleyball showdown be great?

And this game was just a microcosm of the next half of the season. After Christmas until mid-February, the Cowboys won 19 consecutive games in one go!

Broke the Big 12 Conference's longest winning streak record.

After the regular season, their record of 34 wins and 1 loss is the best record in the history of the Big 12 Conference.

Although in the history of the NCAA, many teams have won the regular season.

But the Cowboys' 34 wins and 1 loss is also quite exaggerated.

The Cowboys successfully won the regular season championship, and the Big 12 Conference championship followed.

Like March Madness, the Big 12 Conference tournament is a single-elimination tournament.

Therefore, the following things happen from time to time.

Experts also believe that although the Cowboys are very dominant in the regular season, they are not necessarily guaranteed to have the last laugh in the championship.

As a result, the Cowboys defeated their opponents by 18 points and 22 points in the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively.

The experts are right, Wayne and Tony Allen really couldn't laugh because the game was so boring.

If they could, the brothers would really like to fast forward time and jump directly to March Madness.

Finally, at the end of February 2004, the Cowboys ushered in their finals opponent, the University of Texas.

As many people predicted before the start of the season, the University of Texas met the Cowboys in the finals.

It's just that when interviewed before the game, the mentality of the Longhorns players was a little different from what people imagined.

"The most important thing in this game is to try your best. Of course it would be better if you can win the championship." Tucker faced the camera and didn't dare to breathe.

The experience of being shot twice when facing Wayne in the regular season was still fresh in his mind.

On the other side, Roy Ivey didn't dare to talk about defeating Tony Allen.

He just said weakly: "I will fight with Tony until the end."

His posture was so low that it was depressing.

The Longhorns, who were one of the top four teams in the country last season, never imagined that they would be so humbled just one year later.

This year, the Big 12 Conference Finals will be held at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, home of the Dallas Mavericks.

Mark Cuban, the young owner of the Mavericks, also attended the event in person today and said some nice words of encouragement to young people before the game.

When Wayne learned that this year's finals would be held at the American Airlines Center, he was still thinking about whether he could discuss with Dirk to maximize his growth points.

To Wayne's great disappointment, he did not see any Mavericks players present today.

During this period, the NBA regular season also entered the final stage, and every player was exhausted.

If it weren't for the kind of business activities that really couldn't be avoided, everyone would definitely want to have a good rest at home.

Only Cuban, an idler, likes to go around trying to make his presence known all day long.

There was no other way. Since he couldn't find the Silver Horn King, Wayne could only use all his strength on his opponent.

As a result, P.J. Tucker and Roy Ivey were once again tortured to death by the "Ohio Boys".

In the end, the score of the finals was fixed at 75-49.

This is the first time there has been a victory of more than 25 points in the Big 12 Conference finals since Paul Pierce led Kansas to an 87-60 victory over Missouri in 1997.

The entire American Airlines Center turned into a sea of ​​orange. Although the Cowboys do not have much fan base in Dallas, the people who came to watch the game today were basically fans from all the way from Ohio!

Since the tragic plane crash in 2001, Wayne and Tony have injected new strength into the state.

"After 9 years, the Cowboys have once again reached the top of the Big 12 Conference! Believe me, this year they are likely to be more exciting than the one in 1995!"

Gautry's eyes were red with excitement, while Sutton opened his arms and enjoyed this perfect season.
