April 7th, US time.
Today, even the NBA didn't arrange for a regular season game!
The reason was simple.
On this day, the finals of the 1996 NCAA Tournament were about to begin!
In the stadium of the finals of the NCAA Tournament in Orlando, the seats were already packed.
The stadium, which could accommodate nearly 23,000 fans, was filled with voices!
"Everyone is looking forward to the start of today's game, whether it's the fans or the NBA management!”
The ESPM commentator was also explaining to his heart's content.
Today's NCAA final was undoubtedly the highlight of ESPM's live broadcast.
Other than the real fans, there were also many current NBA players who came to watch the match.
For example, Larry Johnson and Dale Curry of the Charlotte Hornets were sitting on the sidelines.
Dale Curry, in particular, even told his two sons:
Stephen Curry, who was only 8 years old, and Seth Curry, who was only 6 years old, were also brought to the scene to experience the atmosphere of college basketball.
In addition, some of the scouts and even general managers of the teams that did not qualify for the playoffs were also sitting on the sidelines!
"Marcus Canby, Tim Duncan, and Wang Yan!”
"The young man who is going to showcase his talent on this court today may become the face of the NBA one day in the future!”
The two shoutcasters briefly introduced the three superstars.
When Wang Yan was mentioned, the cheers in the entire stadium increased significantly.
It was obvious that the freshman who had created the highest score in the history of the semifinals had become the most popular university star!
"Lads, the chance to make history is right in front of us!”
During the pre-match warm-up, Wake Forest University's coach, Dave Odom, shouted,""I can't accept failure. What about you?!”
"We can't either!"
The Wake Forest players, led by Duncan, shouted in unison.
For these students, this match was probably the most memorable match of their student lives!
Other than giving everything they had, they couldn't think of any other way to deal with it!
The same chorus of shouts came from the UMass bench on the other side.
The entire MIT team surrounded Marcus Canby in the middle, raised their arms, and shouted three times in a row,"
“ＷＩＮＮＥＲ！！”
The supporters of the two teams were also cheering on both sides of the stands.
The starting players of both teams stood on the field amidst the cheers of more than 23,000 fans!
The University of Mass was like most NCAA teams. Other than Camby, the rest of the players did not have the ability to enter the NBA.
However, in the university league, they were all top-notch fighters!
On Wake Forest's side, other than Duncan and Wang Yan, the rest of the players were not eligible to enter the NBA.
However, standing on the stage of the NCAA finals, it was no longer a problem whether he could enter the NBA!
The most important thing was whether they could win the cup today!
Marcus Camby and Tim Duncan each stood on the center line, and the referee threw the ball high!
In the jump ball segment, Duncan failed for the first time in the knockout stage.
Camby took the lead to pass the ball to the team's point guard, Tosya.
UMass was the first to get the offensive ball!
Tosya quickly carried the ball across the half court, and after Camby fell into position, he decisively stuffed the ball into the paint.
All of UMass 'attacks revolved around Canby in the paint!
"Sou!"
However, just as the basketball was in mid-air, Wake Forest University's number 7 jersey flew out from the side!
"It's Wang Yan! Wang Yan, a freshman from Wake Forest University, flew out from the flank and intercepted UMass 'pass in the air!”
The ESPM commentator made a quick judgment.""What an incredible defensive judgment. Wang Yan seems to have given up on his defender and is lying in ambush on the passing path!”
"What a bold defensive judgment. This is Wang Yan!”
Wake Forest University's Demon Hunter!
On the court, Wang Yan, who had completed the steal in a flash, landed on the ground with the ball. With bad luck, he avoided Tosya, who was trying to steal the ball. He whipped his horse and counterattacked the front field!
With his full speed, the UMass defensive player was soon left far behind by Wang Yan!
Faced with an empty front court, Wang Yan took two steps from three steps and strode into the free-throw line. He raised his axe and dunked again!
"Boom!"
The powerful and heavy flying dunk made the cheers of the fans in the stadium even louder!
In the stands, the serious Stephen Curry also clapped excitedly!
"I want to slam dunk like this in the future!"
Curry clapped and gestured for a slam dunk."This is so cool!"
"Forget it, brother. I think you'll fall if you dunk like this!”
Seth Curry clapped his hands.”
Dale Curry couldn't stop smiling when he saw his two youngest sons bickering with each other.
That was the reason why he brought the two Curry players to watch the game.
Wang Yan's style of competition was extremely enjoyable to watch.
It could completely stimulate children's love for basketball!
Stephen Curry and Seth Curry were able to inherit their father's career, so Curry was naturally very happy!
The camera returned to the stage.
Camby and Duncan were competing in the paint.
On both sides of the offense and defense, the two teams 'inner core did not let the other side feel comfortable. All kinds of defensive techniques and martial arts were used to fight each other.
Although Duncan had a slight advantage, it was not much better. It was almost a 64-open situation.
However, there was a huge gap between the two teams 'perimeter!
Wang Yanhu held the ball at the top and signaled for his teammates to pull away.
If today's University of Mass's perimeter defense was at this level...
He wanted to fight ten of them!
The update is definitely fierce enough. In addition, everyone can guess which team the protagonist will go to. Leave a guess in the book review section!!）
