Darnell Jackson on the side looks like a not very smart kid.

Chalmers and Rush laughed and said nothing, but Russell Robinson next door was a good guy and explained it to Jackson.

Kansas' opponents in the first two rounds are not very strong. If there is no upset, they should face the University of North Carolina and UCLA in the next two rounds.

Neither of these two teams is easy to beat.

Not to mention being frustrated, he is better than them, at least he is on the same level as them.

But now, the University of North Carolina was first upset by the University of Texas, and then UCLA was defeated by UNLV.

In one season, two unpopular teams are concentrated in the same division, which means that all the strong enemies on their way forward have been eliminated in advance.

Or to put it another way, the Midwest Division was originally a death zone, but now the only favorite team to win the championship is the University of Kansas.

They are unlucky, who is lucky?

And who will they play next? Their old rival, the University of Texas!

They won the big12 finals so easily, and less than half a month has passed since then.

How much can the University of Texas change?

As long as they perform stably and don't make low-level mistakes like UCLA, they will win naturally.

Once these two dark horses are slaughtered, we are guaranteed to be the final four!

While we were chatting, head coach Self came in.

The first thing he did when he came in was to warn the team members not to take it lightly.

"Strategically, we must despise our opponents, but tactically, we must pay attention to our opponents."

I didn’t expect this old man to be a reader of "Selected Works of Mao"!

But the one who knows the players best is the head coach. The University of Kansas under Self's coaching can be in the championship competition all year round, and his level is definitely not low.

"Can you believe that Lin Ying has practiced low-post offense in half a month? I don't believe it, but he did it."

Seeing that the condition of the team members was not what he expected, he spoke again.

As soon as these words were spoken, the players from the University of Kansas became focused.

They felt that a team would not change much in half a month, but now Self tells them that there has been a change.

This is the most effective reminder.

"We lost to them in the regular season, didn't we? After we beat them once, they showed us their amazing improvement over two months and then beat us.

Although the time was shorter this time, Lin Ying's low post attack was already a warning that our opponent was no weaker than North Carolina or UCLA we might face.

Or do you think that those who can reach the top 16 simply rely on luck?

Their ancestor was Superman or Thor, who saved the universe?"

Self crackled, not as emotive as Barnes, but he got to the point.

He even didn’t forget to have some humor at the end.

The team members laughed after hearing this.

But in the laughter, you can feel that their eyes become focused, and the contempt slowly disappears.

"Come on, boys! Four years ago I failed to lead the team to the championship. Now I place all my hopes on you. I believe you can do it!"

When Self said something like this again, the eyes of the University of Kansas players were full of fighting spirit.

…

There were only about 45 minutes left before the start of the game, and the two teams entered the field one after another to start warming up.

Before the warm-up started, Lin Ying did some warm-up stretching exercises on the sidelines.

The University of Kansas arrived a little earlier than them and was already warming up on the court.

Their condition and feel look very good.

Especially Rush and Chalmers, who are already strong players, they can't make any outside shots.

This is not a good sign for the University of Texas.

He unconsciously turned his head to Durant, who was also stretching beside him.

Having said that, the poisonous grandma may not be you, or it may be the opponent with the reverse buff?

Durant didn't know what Lin Ying was thinking, so he smiled warmly and innocently at him.

Fine!

It doesn't make any sense to think about that now.

We have all reached this point, and the Elite Eight are just around the corner.

Even if God wears a Kansas jersey tonight, we can only fuck God!

The training is almost in progress and all the fans have arrived.

The coaches of the two teams gathered the players together to start making final preparations.

Over at the commentary box, Barkley and Kenny Smith's commentary routine has begun.

"Charles, which team are you supporting tonight?"

"No question about it, Kansas, man, I know this Texas team just beat North Carolina, but trust me, they have no chance tonight!"

"Not at all?"

"Not at all! Just half a month ago, Kansas defeated them easily. Do they have any reason to lose to an opponent who has a great victory within half a month?

Impossible! The only possibility is injury. If there were no injuries, Kansas would never lose!"

"Charles, you are so sure! Remember the NBA motto: Nothing is impossible!"

"How about we make a bet?"

…

The effect of the program comes as it comes.

But while the two were chatting, there was suddenly a violent commotion.

The source of the sound was quickly found.

That was put on the big LED screen..."Little Melon" Anthony!

When Anthony was reminded by the person next to him that he was on camera, he smiled at the camera.

This smile is so sweet!

When the cheers started, the players on both sides unconsciously raised their heads and looked at the large LED screen.

When Lin Ying saw that it was Anthony, there was some disbelief in his eyes.

Anthony actually came to watch their game?

This is definitely a surprise!

However, this also made Lin Ying more impressed by Anthony's "casual" character.

You must know that NBA superstars have daily schedules.

The most exaggerated one is Yao Ming who just entered the NBA.

People who have watched "Yao Next Year" should be particularly impressed.

Yao Ming went to an All-Star Game and walked from one room to another without stopping.

And what translator Colin said, he had no private life for 6 months.

So Anthony just met them face to face and dropped his original schedule to support them.

There is no other word to describe it other than casual.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Just then the lights began to turn off.

It's time for the opening ceremony.

The battle between the University of Texas and the University of Kansas is about to begin!
Chapter completed!
