A day later, the NCAA Tournament would decide all the top four spots!
The four teams were the University of Austin, the University of Kansas, the University of Syracuse, and the University of Marquette!
As for the Marquette Golden Eagles, Syracuse University, led by Cameron Anthony!
When the news that the two universities were going to meet in the NCAA's final four spread, the entire United States went crazy!
Zhang Yan was the scoring and assisting king in the knockout rounds.
In the last Elite quarter-finals, he had even scored a terrifying 69 points. He was what people called a monster genius!
Anthony, on the other hand, led the team single-handedly and successfully led the weak Syracuse University into the top four. He was the lone hero in the hearts of the fans!
Before Anthony entered the university, Syracuse University had a record of 23 wins and 13 losses. They didn't even qualify for the NCAA Tournament!
After Anthony joined, Syracuse University experienced a huge change.
They achieved a record of 24 wins and 5 losses, and became the third seed.
It should be emphasized that apart from Warrick, none of Anthony's teammates had successfully entered the NBA in the draft. He had led a group of players who had not reached that level to advance triumphantly!
If the previous game between Marquette University and Duke University was like Mars colliding with Earth, then the two teams would have to face each other.
Then, this final battle of the top four would undoubtedly be an ace against an ace!!
As soon as the match list was out, all the betting companies in the United States immediately got busy.
" Who will score first between Anthony and Zhang Yan?"" Can Zhang Yan score more than 60 points in the final four?"" How many minutes will it be before Zhang Yan finishes his first chest bump with Wade?'
In short, all kinds of fancy opening bids emerged one after another, and the betting companies racked their brains to attract people to bet.
The organizing committee of the NCAA competition had also been increasing their operations in the past few days. They had been promoting and creating momentum!
The popularity of this game had successfully reached an unprecedented height in the NCAA Tournament!
Moreover, the organizing committee of the NCAA tournament had set the game to be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, a place with a strong business atmosphere!
As a result, the NCAA's record for ticket purchases was broken again…
The so-called pure basketball of the NCAA was aimed at the players, and their organizing committee could make a lot of money from the huge broadcasting fees every year!
Not only that, Zhang Yan's crazy performance and the NCAA's massive momentum even attracted the attention of China TV!
After the agreement was signed, Huaxia TV immediately announced that the official broadcast of the final four match between Marquette University and Syracuse University would be broadcasted live!
This was also the first time in the history of the CATV5 sports channel to broadcast an NCAA game.
Just like that, Zhang Yan took away the first time on the sports channel of the CATV5
When the news that the final four would be broadcast on the sports channel, it attracted the interest of many fans in the country.
Usually, they could only watch Zhang Yan's briefing and highlights on Sports News. Now, they finally had the chance to watch a complete game of his in front of the TV!
The most excited one was Father Zhang. His son was really going to make a name for himself now. Not only was he on the news and newspapers, but he was also going to be on the live broadcast of the sports channel on CATV5!
When Father Zhang visited his relatives and friends, he would ask them to turn on the sports channel, and his son would play basketball on TV!
Father Zhang even cut out all the news about Zhang Yan from the newspaper and showed it to his friends and colleagues. He did not do this to show off, but purely to be proud of his son's performance!

......
As the semifinals drew closer and closer, the Marquette University players spontaneously increased their training intensity from two practices a day to three.
Every time the team advanced to the next round, it meant that they were one step closer to their dreams and that their opponents were more tenacious.
At this time, apart from competing in talent, they also competed in effort. After all, no one wanted to go home to fish at this time.
Basketball doesn't lie. The sweat you shed on the training ground will definitely return to you on the court.
"Zhang! I feel like I'm full of energy now. I can practice another 200 shots!”
After a sweaty training session, Wade was still full of energy and did not seem to feel tired.
"Dwyane, take it easy. We still need you in the semifinals!”
Zhang Yan sat on the floor and said with a smile.
"I've put in all my effort in this game. I must do something big!”
Wade was practicing his three-point shooting, which he was not good at, while communicating with Zhang Yan, who was sitting on the court.
"No problem, Dwyane. I'll pass the ball to you. Just open your mouth and wait for the cake!”Zhang Yan took a sip of water and said with a relaxed expression.
"Zhang, I was waiting for you to say this!”
In the last game, Wade only scored nine points, sacrificing his personal data for the team's tactics.
Zhang Yan was very touched and accepted the highest score in school history, 69 points, with tears in his eyes.
Four consecutive matches with 25 points, two consecutive matches with 3-double points, and 69 points in a single match. Zhang Yan had stolen the limelight throughout March Madness!
He had eaten enough meat, but he couldn't always let Wade drink soup.
The news had already given him a lot of exposure.
As for the NCAA records, they were just numbers to Zhang Yan.
Therefore, Zhang Yan did not mind changing the way he led the team to win this game!
Walking out of the training hall, Zhang Yan was greeted by the screams of girls instead of the cold wind.
Being popular was indeed different…Zhang Yan remembered that in his previous life, he was covered in sweat after playing basketball with his friends, and the girls could not avoid him in time.
Now, even if they were drenched in sweat, the girls were willing to stick close to him.
And it was the kind of fighting to be the first.
Even Wade was a little jealous.""Zhang, I'm no longer as popular as you. You're the most popular one among the girls on the Golden Hawks.”
"Anyway, you like Auntie." Zhang Yan smiled.”
Many girls took the opportunity to stuff small notes into Zhang Yan's hands. On them were either their own phone numbers or hints such as " I don't have anyone at home. You're welcome anytime."
What was even more exaggerated was that there were girls who stuffed their personal belongings into Zhang Yan's hands.
This made him sigh at the freedom and boldness of America again!
Zhang Yan politely folded the note and threw it into the trash can at the next corner.
It wasn't that he wasn't interested in girls, but the NCAA Tournament was a one-match format. He didn't have a chance to make mistakes, so he had to stay focused at all times.
Wouldn't it be nice to wait until he entered the NBA?
......
......
Time flew by. It was April 6th in America.
The highly anticipated " final four " of the NCAA finally began at Staples Stadium!
The lights were bright and the atmosphere was lively!
When Zhang Yan stepped into the Staples Center, he could clearly feel that the basketball atmosphere here was even better than the Wizards 'home stadium, Verison Center!
Unlike the previous three or five star players who came to watch the game, the star players who came to watch the game were in groups.
Zhang Yan saw countless familiar faces in the front row.
Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe, Derek Fisher, and Iverson, who happened to be on his way to the away game, as well as Mutombo and the others...
In addition to the current players, there were also many famous players from the Laker team.
Kareem Jabbar, Jerry West, and Magic John Xun all came to watch the game.
Of course, the Staples Center would never lack stars.
Some of these celebrities came to watch the game because they liked basketball, while others were arranged by their management companies.
After all, the popularity of this game had reached the top in the United States. The effect of showing his face this time was no different from walking the red carpet.
Little Li, Will Smith, and Denzel Washington were among them.
It was unknown whether it was deliberately arranged or because the tickets were too packed, but Jessica Alba, Charaz Theron, Megan Fox, Jennifer Connelly, Anne Hathaway, and the other beauties sat in a row. It was very eye-catching.
Glancing around, even Zhang Yan couldn't help but exclaim that this was a f * cking All-Star event, right?
