April 1st, Staples Center!
This was the location of the semifinals that had been established long ago. Because the host and guest teams were given the same number of tickets, it was also considered a neutral stadium.
Of course, UCLA was a Los Angeles team, so it was inevitable that they would gain some home-court advantage.
The University of Pennsylvania protested, but the NCAA officials rejected it. The reason was that the tickets had been sold and could not be changed. The commercial impact was too great.
The Staples Stadium was filled with Hollywood stars, NBA players, general managers, owners, scouts, and so on.
Jordan had come here immediately after watching the live broadcast on television.
He felt very dejected after watching the game. North Carolina had lost to Kansas 66 - 84. He wanted to slap the players. It was embarrassing that the team could not win.
"Michael, what do you think of him?”Bobcats general manager Sam asked Jordan. Sam pointed at Zhang Luo, who was warming up on the court.
"His talent and skills are not bad, just like the young Le Bulang, but he is taller than Le Bulang.”Jordan had watched some of Zhang Luo's replays and made his own judgment.
"This guy is probably even more outstanding than when Le Bulang first entered the Alliance.”Sam said.
"Haha, there's only one Le Bulang. He's still too inexperienced. Don't be too confident in him.”Jordan said with certainty.
"Alright, pretend I didn't say anything."
Sam sighed to himself. He was quite speechless at his boss's taste.
The Bobcats would have a high draft pick this year. In fact, considering Zhang Luo was a good choice, but the boss said he didn't want him without a trial.
....
Zhang Luo didn't know that he had become the number one observation target of many NBA teams.
Although he wanted to play in the NBA in the future, he didn't have time to think too much. He just wanted to beat UCLA and enter the finals!
On the court, Zhang Luo continued to warm up with his three-point shooting with the LOGO. His shooting percentage was good.
This kind of shot caused the fans on the sidelines to cheer.
Arriving at the Staples Center, Zhang Luo saw a bunch of beautiful female stars.
Scarlet, Mildew, Jessica…Zhang Luo felt his desire to perform even stronger.
Zhang Luo didn't like to use cars for personal use, so he only admired them.
Back in the locker room.
Ross pointed at the title of the magazine and showed it to Zhang Luo.""Zhang, look, your position has risen again. I reckon you'll be in the top ten.”
Zhang Luo glanced at the headline,"NBA general manager privately snatches Zhang Luo, Zhang Luo's position is expected to rise again!》
"No matter what, he's behind you." Zhang Luo laughed.
"Of course. Otherwise, I would have fought for nothing these past few years.”As he spoke, Ross took out a bear candy and gave it to Zhang Luo.
Zhang Luo took it and chewed it for a while. It was sweet.
Beardrops were Ross 'favorite food, and not everyone could share them with him.
The two of them only ate in secret. If the coach found out, they would be scolded.
Zhang Luo wasn't so rigid that he couldn't do it like Ronaldo.
"Hey, it doesn't matter which pick I get. I'll rule the NBA.”Zhang Luo said with a smile.
"Haha, you think you can go to heaven just because you got 50 points?”Ross laughed.
"You took it?" Zhang Luo asked.
Ross was speechless.
......................
In the locker room.
As the time to appear approached.
Calipari raised his voice and shouted at the players around him,""The league is not willing to change the venue for us. It doesn't matter. We will defeat him in front of their fans and trample them under our feet!!”
"Kansas City is already waiting for us on the stage of the finals. Let's get rid of tonight's opponent and then deal with them!”
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
Calipari waved his fists and led a group of young men who were full of vigor as they shouted.
Zhang Luo was also shouting enthusiastically. He liked the atmosphere at the University of Morris.
Everyone was united at all costs in order to win!
This was youth!
...................
The majority of the Staples stadium was filled with fans wearing UCLA jerseys.
As a local team, UCLA had a lot of crazy fans here.
This was the first " away game " since entering the knockout stages, so Zhang Luo heard the boos from the players 'passage.
"Tigers, go back to your hometown, this is our territory.”
"Russell, kick their butts!!”
"UCLA will win! Victory!"
Zhang Luo was annoyed by the loud shouts of the UCLA fans, but he also wanted to see the embarrassment of these fans after the game!
Su Jun was in the media area, ready to snap a photo of Zhang Luo coming out of the players 'tunnel.
This was the first time that a Chinese had appeared in the final four battles. He needed to record everything.
There was also a live broadcast of this match in China, with a special guest commentator.
Zhang Luo was the third last to go on stage. When he went on stage, he enjoyed the boos of the entire stadium.
UCLA fans all knew Zhang Luo. He had scored 50 20 points in the last game. He was definitely the target of UCLA's attention.
Zhang Luo closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down as much as possible. He focused his attention on the court!!
The camera shifted to the recording studio.
Today, T, N, T sent out a luxurious commentary team.
Ken Smith, Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, Chris Webb.
"Charles, what do you think of this game?" Miller asked.”
" I support UCLA," Barkley said." They have a longer history and heritage…"
Smith laughed and said," Damn it, playing the game is not about having a foundation. The players in Miami are no worse than the UCLA players on the field. Ross has Russell to mark him, Dorsey has Kevin Love to mark him, and who will mark Zhang Luo? Do you expect the prince of Comoros to mark him?”
Barkley did not reply, but Wilbur interrupted.
Chris Webb said," Maybe he can defend. After all, Stanford, Arizona State University, and UCLA are no match for each other. UCLA is the strongest team the University of Pennsylvania has ever faced. It's difficult for that guy to replicate the miracle of the last game against UCLA, which is strong in all positions. His statistics in the championship are too bad. Maybe it's just an accidental outbreak.”
Barkley started another topic.""Reggie, do you think Zhang Luo will become another Nowitzki in the future?”
"I think he has the potential to do that, judging by his touch," said Regimüller with a smile.”
Several commentators started to discuss the popular draft picks such as Zhang Luo, Ross, Wei Shao, and Love.
