M Nation time, April 7th.
The NBA was closed today.
Make way for the NCAA finals.
San Antonio, the second largest city in Texas, once again became the focus of the United States.
Even when G-D-P led the Spurs to the finals last year, it wasn't as sensational as today.
Because the finals of the most closely watched NCAA Men's Basketball Championship in North America would be held tonight at the Alamo Stadium.
The day before yesterday, Lin Feng led the UCLA Bruins to defeat the Tigers led by Ross and advanced to the NCAA finals.
On the same night, the semi-finals of the first group ended almost an hour late. The results of the other group's semi-finals were out.
Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush, and Darryl Arthur led the University of Kansas Jays and Hawks to an 84 - 66 victory over the University of North Caroline Tar Heels, led by Danny Green, Ty Lawson, and Taylor Hansbrough.
After entering March Madness, there were five rounds of elimination matches.
The UCLA Bruins and the University of Kansas Jays and Hawks made it to the finals.
From the moment they entered the final four, the media and the internet had been reporting on them.
Countries around the world that had obtained the rights to broadcast or broadcast the NCAA finals would also broadcast and broadcast this peak battle tonight. It could be said to be a feast for basketball fans.
Especially after the two teams that were going to compete for the championship were decided the night before yesterday, there was news about the NCAA finals everywhere, causing the entire M Nation and even North American fans to fall into a heated atmosphere.
The NCAA finals also affected the nerves of many NBA teams, especially those teams with first-round picks. Not only did scouts flock, but even the team management and even the owners came.
Many of the NBA's superstars also came to watch the match.
In particular, most of the players who came from the UCLA Brown Bears and the University of Kansas Jays and entered the NBA through the draft came to support their alma mater.
The players who were going to play tomorrow could not come to the venue, so they stayed in front of the television to watch the live broadcast.
Houston, which was also part of Texas, was not far from San Antonio. It took about two to three hours by car.
In addition, the Mosaic team didn't have a match tomorrow, so Big Yao came to the stadium to support Lin Feng.
China's Celestial TV Channel 5 would start broadcasting live at 7 AM.
However…
It was not the weekend.
Many fans and viewers in the country could only watch it through the text broadcast.
Both teams entered the stadium at least two hours early to prepare.
According to the agreed time, the two teams took turns to use the field to warm up.
When one team was warming up and training on the field, the other team would be in the locker room, preparing for the tactical arrangement and mobilization before the game.
The UCLA Bruins, who had just finished their warm-up, were in the locker room making tactical arrangements.
Their opponent, the University of Kansas, didn't have a dazzling star like the popular top draft pick, Ross.
However, their lineup was more balanced, and the overall strength of both offense and defense was very strong.
In every game, players from different positions stood up and exploded.
This kind of team-based team with multiple points was actually harder to play than a team with one or two popular rookies.
The famous basketball school, North Carolina, had the powerful Ty Lawson and the top 3D player, Danny Green.
However, they were easily defeated by the University of Kansas by 18 points.
Jordan, who had come to watch the game with a dark face, was from the famous basketball school in North Carolina.
He had been there the night before to support his alma mater, Northern Block, but he had left early in anger and disappointment.
Tonight, the old hooligan came here not only to support the UCLA Bruins to avenge his alma mater, but also to personally observe and evaluate Lin Feng.
Because his Charlotte Bobcats had two first-round picks.
If there was a similar type of team in the NBA this season, it would be the 2004 F4 team that defeated the Los Angeles Clippers.
"Hey, Lin, didn't I say that there were more people in the finals?”
When Lin Feng, Young Master Wei, and his teammates entered the stadium, they were once again shocked by the number of spectators.
Looking around, it was filled with people.
This time.
The stadium, which could accommodate 65,000 live spectators, seemed to be filled to the brim.
Lin Feng estimated that at least 50,000 people had come to watch the battle.
Hearing Westbrook's teasing smile, he could only shake his head and smile.""This is crazy. It's just a basketball game, but there are so many spectators. It's like a football game!”
"Lin, you don't understand. This is the final point of March Madness.”
"The NCAA doesn't have the commercial atmosphere of the NBA. It's more pure basketball.”
"The NBA playoffs are a best-of-seven system, while the NCAA's March Madness is a one-game knockout game. So you can imagine why the games we've been through are so intense.”
"This is the love of basketball and the pursuit of dreams. If you don't want to leave any regrets, you have to play every game as if it's the last. Everyone will give their all and never give up.”
"Tonight's game against the University of Kansas is also a definite championship!”
"It's like the knockout matches in the football World Cup, especially the final competition for the championship and runner-up. The competition is the most intense!”
"So do you think it's a lot to have tens of thousands of spectators?”
If it was compared to the football World Cup finals, the current stadium with more than 50,000 spectators was indeed not much.
But this was a basketball game, and the audience was two to three times larger than the NBA finals.
At the same time.
Many families in the country were watching Celestial TV Station 5.
Lin Feng's parents were among them.
They got up before 6 am and switched on the TV to channel 5 of China TV Station.
Lin Feng's father cleaned the house and wiped the tables and chairs twice.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng's mother was boiling water and making tea, as well as preparing fruits and porridge.
That was because they had invited their neighbors and relatives to watch the game together.
Watching their son's competition!
It was called the NCAA finals.
Lin Feng's mother didn't know anything about basketball.
She felt that playing basketball was easy to get injured and not as promising as studying.
Out of all the basketball players in China, she had only heard of Big Yao, and it was during the 2004 Olympics.
At that time, Lin Feng and his father insisted on watching the basketball game.
What made Lin Feng laugh the most was that his mother was worried that Big Yao wouldn't be able to find a wife.
However, he didn't expect it.
Lin Feng's height suddenly soared to 1.90 meters in his third year of high school.
After the college entrance examination, he grew to 1.93 meters, which made his mother worried.
Especially when Lin Feng gave up Yanjing University to study in Country M, his mother was worried sick.
Then, she heard that Lin Feng didn't study hard in university and went to play basketball instead.
Now, it was even on television, and it was even on China Television Station.
As for Lin Feng's father, he had watched a lot of basketball games, especially the Asian Games and Olympic Games.
After that, Big Yao became the first international player to be selected as the top draft pick of the NBA. His matches were broadcasted live on China TV, and Lin Feng's father learned about the NBA.
However, he still didn't know much about the NCAA.
Lin Feng had said that it was a very awesome competition.
They said that their influence and popularity in M Nation were even stronger than the NBA.
Therefore, Lin Feng's father, who had high hopes for his son, immediately invited his neighbors and friends to watch the show.
Those friends who couldn't come over, he even specially called to remind them to watch it.
At this moment.
The voice of the host, Sun Zhenping, sounded from the television in the living room.
"China Television Station!"
"China Television Station!"
"Good morning, everyone.”
"This is the live broadcast of the NCAA finals on China TV's Sports Channel. The UCLA Brown Bears, led by our country's player, Lin Feng, will be facing the University of Kansas's Jays.”
"Lin Feng scored 45 points the night before yesterday and became the most dazzling focus on the court.”
"He led the team to defeat the Tigers led by the top pick, Rose, and became the first player in China to reach the finals.”
" According to statistics, there are more than 53,600 spectators at the Alamo Arena in San Antonio. We can see that the stands are now filled with people."
“......”
Everyone in the living room of Lin Feng's house widened their eyes in shock.
"So many people!"
"Elder Lin, what team did the host say Little Feng represented? Bruins?"
"These foreigners are really strange. They use animals to get their names.”
"Don't they have to work overseas? Tens of thousands of people went to the stadium to watch the game in broad daylight?”
"Fifth Aunt, that's M Nation. It's night time now.”
"Shh, Elder Lin, is that your kid?”
"It's really Little Wind, he's already so tall!”
"Oh my god, Little Feng is a big star now. So many people are applauding and cheering for him.”
"You're really handsome. Elder Lin, my Xiao Mei and Xiao Feng were classmates in primary school. Do you want to give Xiao Mei's phone number to Xiao Feng? I think they're a good match.”
