The NCAA Men's Basketball Championship was very popular in M Nation.
It was one of the top tournaments in North America with its attention and influence. Even the NBA had to make way for a one-day suspension for the NCAA finals.
Especially in the top 64 matches of March Madness, the number of fans and spectators was extremely large.
Not only was the ticket price high, but the audience was two to three times that of the NBA.
March 17th.
Staples Center.
The UCLA Brown Bears and Texas AM were playing in the same stadium that the Clippers and the Los Angeles Clippers shared.
18:30 in the afternoon.
Lin Feng followed the UCLA Bruins to the arena.
“UCLA！”
“UCLA！”
“ComeOn！”
“......”
When Lin Feng and his teammates walked into the arena, the cheers were deafening.
UCLA was a university in Los Angeles, so the Bruins were the home team here.
There was a sea of people at the scene.
Lin Feng looked around and saw a dense crowd.
Tonight was the opening match of March Madness, and the audience seats were already full.
Normally, the NBA arena could only accommodate 20,000 people. Tonight, at least 30,000 people poured in.
The security guards tensed up and patrolled back and forth to maintain order.
Countless reporters rushed in and busied themselves with gathering information.
The scouts focused their attention on players who had good draft prospects, such as Westbrook, Love, Barmott, Collison, and Jordan.
Many celebrities and big shots came to the VIP seats closest to the stadium.
After all, it was located in the metropolis of Los Angeles, with the NBA's traditional powerhouse, the Los Angeles Clippers, and Hollywood.
The Laker did not play today. Kobe brought Odom and Jordan Farmar, who was from UCLA, to watch the match and cheer for UCLA.
There were also many retired NBA superstars, such as Magic Johnson, Kareem Jabbar, Reggie Miller, Bill Walton, Barron Davis, and so on.
Most of these superstars were from UCLA and had come to watch the match in person to support their alma mater.
The first team to go on stage was the Texas AM team, who had come from afar. The live audience gave them a round of applause.
Teams that could enter the top 64 were all strong opponents.
Compared to the commercial nature of the NBA, the NCAA's basketball was more pure.
"Oh, oh, oh! The UCLA Bruins are here!"
"Kick their butts!”
"Eliminate them and enter the top 32!"
“UCLA，Comeon！”
“......”
As Westbrook and Love led the UCLA Bruins onto the stage, thunderous applause rang out.
Cheers and shouts resounded throughout the stadium, completely igniting the atmosphere.
" The UCLA Bruins lost to the University of Flora by 10 points last year and unfortunately missed the chance to enter the finals to compete for the championship. They are back this year!”
"Kevin Love was selected to the All-American team with a double-double this season and won the best player award. Russell Westbrook showed his talent. His explosiveness and fighting spirit were impressive.”
"According to the NBA draft website, both of them are expected to enter the top ten in the first round of the draft. There are even many people who speculate that they can enter the top five.”
"Although Collison has been plagued by injuries, his draft is still in the first round, and he is in the top 20.”
"The UCLA Bruins are likely to send out four NBA-level players this year.”
The NCAA commentator, Jay Williams, spoke in a steady voice.
He invited the NBA legend Reggie Miller from UCLA to be a guest commentator for tonight's opening game.
"Jay, am I seeing things? A Chinese player appeared in UCLA's rotation?”
When Reggie Miller heard the DJ call out Lin Feng's name, his eyes widened in surprise.
Jay Williams also saw Lin Feng waving at the audience. He laughed and teased,""Reggie, believe me, you're not old yet. I remember that all the Chinese players who entered the NBA were big men. Did Coach Ben Hollander want to attract the attention of the Chinese fans by letting a Chinese guard enter the rotation?”
"It's undeniable that Big Yao is very good, but to be honest, it's an international joke for Chinese and even Asian guards to make a name for themselves in the NCAA and NBA.”Reggie Miller nodded in agreement.
While the two of them were teasing each other, Lin Feng, who was warming up on the court, easily hit two three-pointers in a row.
After that, he quickly passed Westbrook and Bamort, and like lightning, he rushed into the paint and dunked. The whole action was done in one go.
"Oh, sh * t!"
"What's wrong with him?"
Their voices stopped abruptly, as if they were caught by something.
Jay Williams and Reggie Miller widened their eyes and looked at each other in surprise.
Was the athletic talent of the Chinese defenders that terrifying?
Two three-pointers in a row?
" This kid seems to have something up his sleeves. He can easily hit three-pointers in a row. He must have put in a lot of hard work. No wonder Coach Ben Hollander dared to add him to the rotation.”
As one of the top three-point shooters in NBA history, Reggie Miller knew that three-point shots were very difficult.
To be exact, many people hit this kind of half-court three-pointer mostly by luck.
However, he had seen Lin Feng throw the ball quickly and confidently. It was obviously not a lucky ball.
"Hey, Reggie, seeing this guy's breakthrough speed just now reminds me of Iverson!”
The commentator Jay Williams added in surprise, completely shocked by Lin Feng's speed.
