Time has reached March 31, and there are only more than two hours left before the start of the semi-finals.

At the Georgia Dome Stadium, in the large Ohio locker room, Greg Oden quietly applied ice to his right hand.

Sadmata, Ohio State's head coach, pushed the door and entered the locker room. He looked at Oden immediately and asked with concern: "Greg, your injury is OK?"

Oden raised his right arm and waved it: "No problem, coach."

"That's good." Sadmata nodded, then turned around and faced all the players in Ohio State: "Let's talk about this game."

...

"I don't want to mention the importance of this game because all fools know, and I don't want to treat you as fools..."

In the locker room at the University of Texas, Rick Barnes was talking with a tactical board in his arms.

"We have informed the tactics to play in this game, the details of the match, and the opponents that need to be paid attention to. We have already informed us two days in advance. I don't want to repeat it again, but just in case, I still have to emphasize a few key points..."

Two days ago, the coaching staff arranged the tactical style and defensive matches of this semi-finals. At that time, Li Ke already knew that his opponent was neither Oden nor Conley, but Ron Lewis.

Rick Barnes said this: "Sheldon, don't underestimate your opponent. Although his NBA prospects are at most at the end of the second round, that's because he is too old. If he is as young as you, his prediction ranking will definitely be higher than you."

That's right, Ron Lewis is too old. He used to play for Boling Green State University and later transferred to Ohio State University, so he spent a year in the football supervision department and is already a senior five this year.

At the beginning of the season, Mike Conley led the team to win a strong winning streak, and actually half of the credit was Ron Lewis.

This also reflects the data. In addition to Oden, Ron Lewis averaged the highest score per game in Ohio State.

Two days ago, Chris Price introduced Ron Lewis:

"This guy's shooting is very accurate, he can catch the ball from anywhere on the court and hit the shot..."

Isn't this the other me?

Li Ke thought so that such a player is actually not difficult to defend. What you need to be wary of is not to give him any opportunity to take action easily.

Therefore, Li Ke is under not much pressure on the defensive end.

And, he also understood that if you want to win this game, you cannot expect defense. The University of Texas must be fully fired at the beginning of the game.

In the locker room, Rick Barnes said he was no longer emphasizing anything, but Li Ke and Xiao Du had a gaze.

...

The Georgia Dome Stadium, although it was only a semi-final match, 71,000 seats were still filled.

When the University of Texas entered the court, the players were all stunned by the stands that were higher than the other.

"My God, there are too many people!"

"Seventy thousand people should be full, right?"

"call!"

Everyone started to get nervous, and Li Ke felt sweaty in his palms.

But on the surface, they still looked cruel and ruthless, as if they were sure to win the upcoming battle.

Ohio State University has also appeared, and like Deutsche University, everyone has no expression on their faces.

But after the subsequent warm-up, Greg Oden rushed into the basket, jumped up and dunked the ball away, but still made people notice his nervousness.

On the other hand, Xiao Du also missed a series of shots, which he would not have missed at all.

On the contrary, Li Ke, in the big scene, showed extremely calmness, and made any shots when warming up, and made any moves!

"The competition traits are activated?"

Li Ke didn't expect that the characteristics of the competition were activated and the semi-finals were activated, which seemed to indirectly illustrate the importance of this game.

Although only 20% bonus is not enough to allow Li Ke to break through the upper limit of skill talent level, for an NCAA-level game, 20% bonus is enough.

When warming up, Li Ke stood beside Xiao Du. He repeatedly shot, but Xiao Du smashed the frame in various ways.

So Xiao Du stretched out his hand: "Hey, Sheldon, give me some touch."

Without hesitation, Li Ke stretched out his right hand and hit Xiao Du with his palm.

"Don't forget our strategy, Kevin."

"certainly!"

It seems that Li Ke and Xiao Du have an unknown agreement.

In the commentary seat of CBS, the discussion about this game began early.

"Actually, I don't understand why almost everyone was optimistic about Ohio State before this game. In my opinion, there was no gap in strength between these two teams."

It was not Shannon Sharp, nor Maricarillo, who made his personal opinion, but the espn columnist Bill Simmons who appeared as a guest in this game.

"Ohio State is strong in the inside, and the University of Texas is strong in the outside..."

Shannon Sharp shook his head: "Bill, I think you may have underestimated the influence of the big center. If Greg Oden plays a role, the entire offensive system of the University of Texas will be affected."

"Yes, this is the NCAA. It allows joint defense, without defense for three seconds. This is a big bonus for the big center."

Maricarillo also holds the same view, and is more specific, but Bill Simmons still holds the opposite view: "I don't think so, the University of Texas in this game is likely to subvert your perception."

Near the CBS commentary seat, Yangwu, who was also allowed to enter the venue, also has a broadcast commentary area. Director Zhang and Yu Jia were wearing heavy headphones and shouting at the top of their lungs against the noise throughout the venue:

"This is CCTV, CCTV5 channel, and the NCAA Championship semi-finals are now broadcasting live. The two sides are the University of Texas and Ohio State. Among them, the University of Texas has young players from our country, Li Ke..."

During this period, reports on Li Ke have been overwhelmed in China.

Most fans already know that on the other side of the ocean, there is a fanatical basketball pure land called NCAA, and there is a young Chinese forward guard who has reached the final four with his team, only two steps away from the championship.

Since March Madness, every step of Li Ke has been creating history.

At 1:00 pm in the U.S. time, late at night in China, many fans were waiting in front of the TV.

After all, this is the first time in China that the NCAA game has been broadcasted.

Li Ke's existence made all fans feel a sense of belonging to this game.

"The competition has begun, friends, get up quickly!"

In a university dormitory, the TV with snowflakes was whispering. The tall boy ran to the balcony to adjust the antenna. Finally, it became clearer. When he returned to the dormitory, he patted on and off the bed and woke up several friends who were sleeping together.

"It's a pity that the game has begun..."

In the living room of a certain community, the lights were dim. The room was filled with the sound of my parents sleeping sounds. The sound of the TV was very small. On the sofa was a boy about sixteen or seventeen years old.

"I finally got off work, the time is right, the competition is about to begin!"

In a first-tier city, a white-collar worker who had just gotten off work hurried home, did nothing, and turned on the TV directly.

"It's beginning, stop talking, it's quiet!"

A youth team in a certain province and a basketball teenagers gathered together.

“…”

The camera on the TV has been aimed at the center of the stadium.

First, the referee holding the basketball flashed by, and then the starters of the two teams stood in the center of the court.

The competition is finally about to begin.

(About updates, I said a few words, and I did not deliberately suppress the rhythm, nor did I delay the update.

Before it is released, I will definitely only have two updates a day, and the number of words in each chapter will not be too high, because the time when Yi Wen published the book is in early November, and there will be two months of new book period. If the number of words is written or the number of updates is too high, that is to be a dying person. Many authors should have said this?

It will definitely explode after it is released. The first day update will not be less than 20,000 words at present. The subsequent daily update of 10,000 words is also standard. Added updates will be arranged. Detailed regulations will be made when it is released.

In the end, the plot of the semi-finals is to write more off-site. Many of them are foreshadowings laid before, and many of them are plots to be used later. It is definitely not possible not to write them.

The game on the field is a bit like a new bottle of old water, but Yi Wen will try to write the game more excitingly.
Chapter completed!
