“WINNER! Victory belongs to Marquet Golden Eagle!"
"Top 8 elites! We're here!"
"No one can stop us now!”
Zhang Yan raised his arms high and was surrounded by his teammates as he received cheers from fans from all directions!
In the top 16, Zhang Yan once again produced a dazzling triple-double on this stage!
He also became the first player to score triple-doubles in two consecutive games in the NCAA Tournament!
The live commentators, scouts, fans, and media were all bragging about this rising basketball star!
Even his opponent, Tabby Smith, the head coach of the University of Kent, couldn't help but exclaim,""Zhang is a special player. His performance today left me helpless. I wish him the best in his future basketball career. I am also proud of my players. They fought until the last minute of the game.”
After listening to Tabby Smith's speech, the fans of the University of Kent also applauded.
The team's performance today was obvious to all. They played very hard, their style was tenacious, and their offensive and defensive tactics were also very firm.
Losing the game was not their fault at all. They could only blame themselves for meeting a monster like Zhang Yan.
Before Zhang Yan could celebrate with his teammates and fans, he was surrounded by the media reporters.
The number of reporters for this post-match interview was several times more than the previous two rounds. There were too many people, so Zhang Yan could only choose some interesting answers.
For example,'How do you feel about advancing to the top 8?'‘How do you feel about getting three consecutive double-doubles?'This kind of boring question was directly passed.
'Will you participate in this year's NBA draft?'‘Would you choose to join the Chinese men's basketball team?'Zhang Yan also chose to refuse to answer these sensitive topics.
A question from a beautiful blonde reporter from the sports company successfully piqued Zhang Yan's interest.
"Zhang, there are a lot of fans who call you a little magician, a little O, and even a urchin…Which nickname do you like the most? And who do you think is your template?”
Magician John Xun, Big O Robert Sen, and Pence Hardaway were all well-known tall point guards in the NBA.
Therefore, many fans and media used this as a basis to compare them with Zhang Yan, and even used them as a template for Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan took the microphone and asked,"This beautiful reporter, the nicknames you mentioned just now are all from the younger generation. Do you think there are any small places on my body?”
The beautiful reporter was stunned at first, then she covered her mouth and laughed shyly."It looks like…There really isn't."
The two people's exchange made the surrounding reporters dumbfounded. There were so many people, and these two people were driving just like that?
Even though she was driving, the blonde reporter still had to complete her interview mission. She continued to ask,"Zhang, you haven't answered my question. Who do you think is your template?”
Zhang Yan shrugged confidently." I don't think I have a template. Perhaps I can become someone else's template in the future."”
After a series of exclamations, the reporters around them applauded.
These words sounded a little arrogant, but they were very domineering!
The main point was that they had another sensational press release to write!
However, Zhang Yan's answer just now was not deliberately pretentious. To him, he really did not have a template.
Based on his passing and vision, his template was Magician, but Magician did not have Zhang Yan's athletic ability.
In terms of style and ball control skills, his template was indeed closer to Hardaway, but he had better three-point and overall vision than Hardaway.
As for the big zero, Robert, perhaps Zhang Yan was similar to him only in his triple-double ability.
While Zhang Yan was being interviewed, Wade was not idle either. He was also being interviewed by the media in front of the players 'passage.
His performance today was not bad. He scored 28 points and the team won again. He seemed to be in a good mood and could calmly answer some of the reporters 'harsh questions.
"Many NCAA players have jokingly called the Marquette Golden Eagles Zhang Yan and his pancake eating team. Dwyane, do you have anything to say about this?”
"Hahaha, come on! Even through the camera, I can smell the sourness in those words! Let me tell you what those people really think. They are jealous because they don't have a perfect playmaker like Zhang on the team!”
"I won't be affected by their words. Zhang and I are the best brothers. I'm very glad to be able to play with Zhang. At the same time, I cherish every minute and every second we fight side by side.”
Indeed, it was the same for Zhang Yan. To be able to enjoy the purest form of basketball with like-minded friends, was there anything happier than this?
He believed that many years later, when he recalled the days when his teammates laughed and played together and the days when the team fought together to advance, Zhang Yan would miss this time very much!
......
After leaving the stadium, Zhang Yan did not return to the hotel with the team. Instead, he had supper with Little Yao and Francis.
This supper was suggested by Frances. He had been shocked by Zhang Yan's operation many times tonight, and Frances appreciated a person's performance by treating him to a meal.
Zhang Yan also gladly accepted it. There was no harm in getting to know a few more NBA stars. Moreover, it was a loyal person like Frances. After dinner, the two of them naturally exchanged phone numbers.
After returning to the hotel, Zhang Yan looked at his phone address book. Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Finley, Yao, Francis
He had saved so many star players 'phone numbers before he entered the NBA, and it seemed that every star player who came to the NCAA was willing to communicate with him.
If this continued, he wouldn't become the NBA's socialite in the future, right?
......
......
The continuous high-profile performance brought a lot of exposure and rising popularity.
" Slaughter's top seed, the Giant point guard leads the team to advance into the top 8!》
"Swelling? No, it was confidence! Zhang Yan declared that no one could be his template!》
The Strongest Iron Bucket Formation was broken by him alone. Zhang Yan expressed that he wanted the 5 Tigers of Kentuckia to attack together!》
" Winning three consecutive triple-doubles with 25 points " Zhang Yan just smiled slightly, waiting for an opponent that makes me sweat!》
Who Can Stop Marquet Golden Eagle? Who can stop Zhang!"
" The order continues to climb. Perhaps a team is willing to use the lottery to get Zhang Yan!》
The exposure of March Madness was terrifying. In addition, the media liked to modify Zhang Yan's unruly post-match interviews, causing Zhang Yan's attention to rise steadily.
The headlines of these news articles were very attractive, and it was hard not to let the fans click into them.
Sometimes, even Zhang Yan would wonder if he had really said those words.
The three games of victory and the performance of defeating the top seed in the division also forced the organizing committee to re-evaluate the strength of the Marquette Golden Hawks.
After the re-evaluation, Marquet's Golden Eagles 'overall strength had risen to second place among the top 8 elites!
It was second only to Duke University, which had four NBA-level players!
Coincidentally, the two teams were opponents in the top 8, so the media had work to do.
"Sword points to the championship, Marquet Golden Eagle needs to climb over another mountain!"》
" The two teams with the most championship potential in the 2003 NCAA are about to collide!》
Other than the attention and flattery from the outside world, everyone was talking about Zhang Yan and the Marquette Golden Eagles on the campus.
"Didn't you watch the last match? Why don't you support the school at all?”
"Do you still need to watch the Marquet Golden Eagles game? He won another 20 points in one night!"
"Let me tell you, Zhang Ke is too handsome! He got a triple-double in the last game. I wonder if he has a girlfriend now!”
"That's right. I heard that tall people have big places everywhere!”
"Really?"
"Why don't you try and find out? His dormitory building is just opposite!"
“...”
At this moment, Zhang Yan was silently walking past a few girls.
After returning to school, Zhang Yan realized that everything had changed! These girls had all become so crazy!
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but even the canteen lady looked at him differently.
Whether it was in the teaching building or walking on the path, there were people asking for autographs and photos everywhere. Many girls took the opportunity to rub their car lights crazily, hinting crazily to themselves!
There was even a time when Zhang Yan was peeing in the toilet when someone suddenly stretched out a phone in front of him and asked if they could take a selfie together!
In short, it was all ridiculous!
There were also many students from other schools who had come here because of Zhang Yan's fame. They queued up at the school gate to see Zhang Yan.
At first, Zhang Yan was still happy. After all, he had suddenly become the focus of everyone and felt like a big star.
However, after two days, he was annoyed. Everywhere he went, he was asked for autographs and photos. There was no space or freedom at all!
It would be best if Zhang Yan didn't go anywhere except the dormitory and the training hall. He could just ask Wade to bring takeout during mealtimes.
But Wade said that he was also very popular. He went to the cafeteria to buy a few hamburgers and couldn't come back for an hour. He was very distressed!
The two of them turned to look at Novak.
At this time, the team's advantage of being invisible came out.
At this moment, Novak didn't know if he should f ** k or not. No one was paying attention, but it was an advantage now?
