Chapter 68: No Fly Zone at UConn

Here, Lian Dao and Demar are constantly discussing how to deal with Thabeet.

In the training hall not far away, the University of Connecticut Huskies have already started training.

No way, the UConn Huskies' 8-for-4 game is a day earlier than USC's, giving them an extra day of rest over USC.

So an extra day off means they will have an extra day of training.

The UConn Huskies are not only talented but also experienced.

Most of their players are juniors or seniors, so they have a lot of game experience.

Like Thabeet and A.J. Price and small forward Jerome Dyson are juniors, and power forwards Jeff Adrian and Craig Osterley are seniors.

Their advantage is their rich game experience.

Gibson and Daniel are veterans in USC's starting lineup, and the other three are freshman rookies.

The training atmosphere of the University of Connecticut Huskies is also very relaxed.

"Hashim, next game you play against a rookie in Southern California, have you figured out how to beat him?"

Jeff Adrian made a mid-range shot, turned to Thabeet and asked.

Of course, the rookie Jeff Adrian is talking about here is not Lian Dao. They don't know that USC plans to use Lian Dao to deal with Thabeet.

The rookie he was talking about at this time was Vucevic.

Thabeet, who is 221 centimeters tall, looks very thin. Although he weighs 119 kilograms, his figure does not look as thick as cheap rice.

"Jeff, you are underestimating our opponent, but Jim said that we will not underestimate each other." Thabeet said while practicing his footsteps under the basket. It can be seen that Thabeet did not take the words of head coach Jim Calhoun to heart.

Yes, as the No. 1 seed in the Western Division, they almost crushed their opponents along the way, and Thabeet's inside dominance was also established game after game.

For Vucevic, who was in the first grade, although Thabeet said that he did not underestimate him, he never took him to heart.

The no-fly zone of the University of Connecticut is not just talking, but it is made by one's own blocks!

"Jeff, instead of caring about how Hashim blows up your opponent, you should care about your opponent! You know, Gibson is not an easy guy to deal with, and this guy's draft prediction position is similar to that of the Rockets recently. going up."

Jerome Dyson then joined the conversation, joking with Jeff Adrian.

But this guy's emotional intelligence is really not online, and Jeff Adrian was very uncomfortable to hear a sentence.

"Hey, Jerome, don't talk about me, you are not facing a simple character, so don't accidentally get kicked by the opponent's rookie who shoots three-pointers."

Jeff Adrian also shot back directly.

The University of Connecticut Huskies players who were just joking suddenly found that their opponents didn't seem to be very weak.

So before leaving after training, several of their players asked the assistant coach for a video of the USC game before.

They also don't want to capsize in the gutter like the Michigan State Spartans did.

In that case, they will be directly sprayed to death by Big East fans.

You must know that they are now the only seedlings in the Big East!

…

The Southern California Trojans VS Connecticut Huskies game was also hyped by the media.

"Liandao VS Hashim, the battle for second place!"

Topics like this are almost everywhere!

The game has not yet started, but the atmosphere of the Southern California Trojans VS Connecticut University Huskies NCAA semifinals has been heightened by the media.

The antagonistic relationship rendered by the media directly attracted many fans.

And the fans of the two sides are constantly arguing about the ownership of the victory on the Internet. In reality, the game has not yet started, but the smoke of gunpowder on the Internet has already begun to fill the air.

Moreover, the NBA at this time has entered the end of the season, and the teams that can basically enter the playoffs have been determined.

Most fans are waiting for the playoffs to start.

At this time, the NCAA just attracted the attention of most fans!

The two games in the semi-finals were also given a lot of expectations by many fans.

On TNT's show, Barkley and Kenny Smith were also arguing over who could enter the final.

The domestic side is not idle either, and Sun Yue has no chance to play in the Lakers.

If nothing else, after the 2009 season, the Lakers will give up signing with Sun Yue.

For China, in the 2009-10 season, Lian Dao may be the only outside player in China in the NBA.

Therefore, domestic reports on Lian Dao are overwhelming.

For example, "NCAA's strongest outside line vs. strongest inside line", "epic duel", and "Shocked, Lian Dao actually has a secret weapon"...

Well, this is outrageous, and the "shock department" has been rectified.

However, this is also the first time in China that the NCAA has been formally contacted through broadcasting.

Although before Liantao, Ma Jian also played in the NCAA in the last century, but due to the network environment and the blockage of news at that time, few people knew about it.

And at that time, Ma Jian was not a star player like Lian Dao. He was originally the main player of the University of Utah, but he was squeezed to the bench by Keith Van Horn in his junior year.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is the first time that domestic fans have seen Chinese players in the NCAA.

In 2009, ordinary fans had no concept of the NCAA. They just knew that China had produced another basketball genius who could rival Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.

Therefore, they are proud that China has produced another top basketball genius.

In fact, it is hard to say whether it is good or bad. Opportunities and challenges coexist.

At that time, when Yi Jianlian first entered the league, he was given high hopes by everyone, but due to the decline of Yi Jianlian's status, the domestic media almost directly dismissed him.

Some netizens even gave Yi Jianlian the nickname "Space Yi".

If Lian Dao really loses this game, then it is estimated that he will also be sprayed by some media.

…

In a blink of an eye, April 4th was the day of the NCAA semifinals.

Prior to this, the media also created momentum for the NCAA semifinals, and the fans were also full of expectations.

The most exciting matches of "March Madness" are finally about to officially start!

For the fairness of the finals, the two games of the semi-finals will be held on the same day.

UNC Tar Heels VS Villanova Wildcats in the front, UConn Huskies VS USC Trojans in the back.

North Carolina Tar Heels VS Villanova Wildcats game is narrated by Barkley and Kenny Smith, UU Reading www.uukanshu. com In fact, Barkley would prefer to comment on the following game between the University of Connecticut Huskies and the Trojans of the University of Southern California.

But there is no way, who made him draw the previous game when drawing lots.

For this reason, he often suffered from Kenny Smith's eyes.

The UNC Tar Heels are led by center Tyler Hansborough, and the team, plus the captain, has seven future NBA players.

It can be said that this year's North Carolina is unprecedentedly strong.

The media gave predictions that the probability of the Villanova Wildcats winning the game was less than 10%.

In fact, as the media predicted, the Villanova Wildcats had no defense at all.

Basically, the UNC Tar Heels established a big lead in the first half of the game, and in the second half, the UNC Tar Heels had just played five minutes before the Villanova Wildcats surrendered.

The two sides replaced the bench lineup, and the UNC Tar Heels defeated the Villanova Wildcats 83:69 in the final game.

And this game also disappointed all the fans, because there was not much suspense, and it was crushed from beginning to end.

But the interview after the game has aroused the interest of the fans.

The media interviewed Michael Jordan, a famous University of North Carolina star, why he did not watch the game of his alma mater.

Braised Dan replied with a pretentious face.

"I will watch the University of North Carolina win the championship at the finals!"

Well, this is very Jordan!

For the media, the North Carolina game is not as interesting as the words of braised eggs!

This sentence directly caused the media to rush to report.

At the same time, it is also because of this sentence that many fans have stronger expectations for the finals!
