In the East, the University of Texas beat the University of North Carolina with 32 points and entered the final quarterfinals.

In the Midwest, the University of Florida Gators beat the University of Oregon Ducks led by Aaron Brooks to enter the final quarterfinals with a score of 85-77.

In the South District, Ohio State Buckeyes beat Memphis led by Chris Douglas Roberts and Joy Dory to the final quarterfinals.

Finally, in the West District, as Li Ke wished, the Ucla Bruins narrowly defeated the University of Kansas with 8 points after two halfs of the game, and entered the final quarterfinals with a score of 68-60.

After four games, the final match between the semi-finals was formed-

University of Texas vs Ohio State University, UCLA vs University of Florida.

As soon as the semi-finals were released, they immediately swept the front page headlines of major media across the United States.

Sports Illustrated title: Longhorn vs. Buckeyes, the battle between the Gemini!

The front page of sports news: The defending champion will play against UCL, luxury inside PK luxury outside!

Today's US Sports Edition headlines: The semifinals are decided, the Alligator strives to defend the title, the Bruins strives to win the 12th championship in the history of the team, the Buckeyes enter the semifinals again after 8 years, and the Longhorns look forward to the first championship in the history of the team...

In the end, the semi-finals and even the finals were moved to Atlanta, where the former Golden Club was located.

The venues held were also in place, and were replaced by the Georgia Dome Stadium, which can accommodate 71,000 people.

On March 26, US time, the day after defeating the University of North Carolina, the University of Texas arrived in Atlanta. Rick Barnes directly asked the airport shuttle bus to take a long way and stopped outside the gate of Georgia Dome Stadium.

At this time, the Georgia Dome Stadium was filled with busy people.

Because most of the time, the Georgia Dome is used as a football field, it is the home court of the NFL Atlanta Falcons.

So before the semifinals start, NCAA will first renovate, lay the floor for the stadium, close the ceiling above the stadium, etc.

Looking out at this huge stadium, d.j. Augustine muttered to herself: "To be honest, I have never played a game on such a large stadium."

Rick Barnes, who brought the team here, smiled without saying a word, but his goal was achieved.

Just looking at the stadium, Li Ke felt excited.

"In this stadium, playing only one game is not enough, at least two games have to be finished!"

"Just playing two games is not enough. At least, we have to win two games in this stadium!"

"I'm going to cut off the Nets from the Georgia Dome!"

“…”

The bold words came out involuntarily, and the initiator Rick Barnes said nothing.

...

After checking into the hotel, Li Ke rushed to the training hall rented by the team without stopping for a moment.

This time, Xiao Du didn't follow him because he went to receive the award.

Just after the eight-to-four knockout rounds were all over, the John Wooden Award was announced, and the best coach was awarded to the head coach of the University of Florida Gators, Billy Donovan, who later called Duo Thief and Wan Ge.

The Best Male Basketball Player Award was naturally owned by Xiao Du, who once again made history and became the first freshman to win the John Wooden Award.

The competition between him and Oden's No. 1 pick has become increasingly fierce.

The absence of Xiao Du behind him does not mean that Li Ke has no other friends.

Dexter Pittman, who could not stop weight loss for a day, followed Li Ke's footsteps and trotted along the streets of Atlanta, quickly approaching the training hall.

Along the way, the two also talked about some interesting topics, such as:

"I heard you signed up for a yoga class in Windsor?"

"Yes, I thought the teachers in the yoga class were all Indian beauties who were pleasing to the eye in the movie, but when I got there, I realized that the teacher in the class was actually an old woman in her forties..."

"Where are boxing? Haven't you tried it?"

"No, Coach Toddlet said that boxing is prone to injury. Although most of it is minor injuries, there are still games after all, aren't it?"

"Indeed, if you have special boxing training, it is better to do off-season training. Just practice occasionally."

“I also tried badminton and tennis, which seemed to be very interesting.”

"You can try swimming again, which is also a good exercise to make your body slim."

"Thank you, Sheldon, thank you for your advice."

"All of them are teammates, why do you say thank you..."

Deep down, Li Ke added: Thank you, you don’t need to hand over your talent skills to me...

When he arrived at the training hall, Li Ke continued to practice three points.

Dexter Pittman, led by the team's physical coach Todd Wright, did some aerobic exercise.

At noon, Li Ke still didn't go back to have a meal. He ordered takeout, a huge pizza, plus a fruit salad, and a glass of fruit and vegetable juice.

After lunch, he received a call after practicing hard for more than an hour in the afternoon.

"Hi Russell, you've also arrived in Atlanta? Then see you tonight. I'll introduce a friend to you..."

Russell Westbrook has also arrived. UCL and Germany are just a gap between them, but this is also related to NCAA's schedule.

On March 31, the semi-finals will start at Georgia Dome Stadium. At about 1:00 p.m., the match between the University of Texas and Ohio State will be held first, and then by about 5 p.m., the match between UCL and the University of Florida will follow the progress of the previous game.

Within one day, the two teams in the final will be decided.

Therefore, for the four teams participating in the final four, they don’t have much time left.

Although Li Ke received a call from Westbrook, he still didn't want to stop training.

But then, he received a call from the team's assistant coach Chris Price.

...

The University of Texas is located here at the Four Seasons Hotel in Atlanta.

It is a five-star hotel, with luxurious furnishings in the Four Seasons Hotel, magnificent hotel lobby, meticulous waiters, and celebrities coming and going, dressing brightly and beautifully.

Yangwu had just rented a living room at Four Seasons Hotel, and then he started to make a busy arrangement.

The young director directed his subordinates' affairs, then turned his head and sighed to Director Zhang beside him:

"The rent for this Four Seasons Hotel is really expensive. By the way, these NCAA teams are quite rich, and the hotels they stay in are so rich."

"That's your frog in the well. NCAA doesn't make money, so there is no money-making sports in this world. Think about it, NBA's star players have to get a million or tens of millions of yuan in annual salary every year. What a big expense. The boss of the big football market still makes a lot of money. Look at players like NCAA, Durant, and Li Ke. They only use a full scholarship, and they have to die of tens of thousands of dollars a year..."

Yu Jia taught the young director: "What about the money earned by ncaa? Ticket income, broadcasting fees, advertising operation income, and various commodity sales income, that's awesome..."

The young director seemed to have done his homework and immediately raised objections: "But the official said that 90% of these incomes were given to students?"

"Will you say it out after you make money?"

"It should be...no?"

The young director was a little unconfident. Yu Jia shook his head and sighed: Too young!

Then he turned around and continued to chat with Director Zhang about the interview that he would be later.

Li Ke's training was interrupted, but he was not unhappy about it. At this moment, he was very excited.

On the phone, Chris Price told Li Ke that the Central Five Channel from China would give him an exclusive interview.

That's Yangwu!

The only domestic reporter who came here before was Wang Yiqiong, who was also a part-time reporter from Pioneer News.

This time it was different. The interview with Yangwu, Director Zhang and Yu Jia were all there, and the signboard was all at once.
Chapter completed!
