In the final four, other than the long-established star players and celebrities, there was also a figure that interested the fans. It was the 2003 top scorer, LeBlanc James!
"Hey! C-Mellon!"
James took the initiative to greet Anthony, who was warming up.
The two of them were very familiar with each other. They had fought many times in high school.
As long as there was a match between the two of them, not only would the national sports television broadcast it live, but even some scouts and NBA stars would come to the scene!
The popularity of the match was only slightly inferior to tonight's match.
"Hey! Le Bulang, why are you here?"
Anthony was a little surprised and pleasantly surprised to see James 'smiling face.
"I'm here to cheer for you, brother!”
In fact, James 'real purpose for coming today was to see Zhang Yan and see how this 210cm point guard played.
However, when he met his brother, he definitely had to say something nice.
This was EQ.
The 18-year-old James had already demonstrated a high EQ, which was why he would be so popular in the NBA in the future.
"Thank you, Le Bulang!"
Anthony looked happy. Compared to James, he was a college student, but he was much more naive.
"I think highly of you, C-Mellon! Come on, win the game!"
"That's a must."
After the two of them high-fived each other, Anthony returned to the court to warm up.
This scene was also captured by the broadcast camera. This kind of high-profile game naturally had to be broadcasted live across the United States!
“Oh! Ladies and gentlemen, we can see through the camera that LeBlanc James has appeared on the field. It seems that this game has gathered the top three favorites of the 2003 draft pick!”
In the studio, it was still Barkley who gave the commentary.
The difference was that his partner for this game was changed from Kenny Smith to the famous coachman, Albert.
"The three top scorers? Which three?"
As soon as Barkley finished speaking, Coachman Albert asked in confusion.
"Anthony, Lebrand-James, and Zhang Yan.”
Barkley recited the three names as if he was reciting a jingle.
"Zhang? His recent performance was indeed explosive, but in the draft forecast rankings, he was only near the lottery area. If I remember correctly, ESPM's Draft website ranked him ninth and the draft website ranked him twelfth.”
Marv Albert's brain was like a database that could easily recall all kinds of data about players.
"The talent show website is the talent show website, and I am me. In my heart, he is a popular candidate for the top pick!”
"Hahaha! Charles, it looks like you've become that guy's number one fan?”
Said Coachman Albert with a smile.
He knew that Barkley liked to create some show effects before and after the game. As a partner, he just had to cooperate with him as much as possible.
"Without a doubt, watching him play makes me want to make a comeback!”
"Hahaha, Charles, don't just think about it. If you make a comeback, I'll immediately buy season tickets to that team and watch you perform every night!”
Hearing Albert's words, Barkley subconsciously looked down at his stomach.""Forget it, forget it. The flesh on my body can be used as a swimming ring now. I'll just be a commentator in peace.”
"Hahahaha…"
After a brief banter, the camera cut to the Staples Center.
The lights in the stadium suddenly dimmed, and with the introduction of the DJ, the players from both sides appeared one after another!
On the domestic side, the Sports Channel 5 also carried out a live broadcast of the match.
"Good morning, audience and fans!”
"This game is the NCAA semi-finals. Coach Zhang and I will be commentating for everyone.”
Su Qun and Zhang Liyi greeted the camera after the introduction.
"The two teams are having an entrance ceremony on the court. The one wearing an orange jersey is Syracuse University. Their star player is Anthony, and he is also one of the popular candidates for this year's NBA draft pick!”
"The one wearing the black and yellow uniform on the field is Marquette University, which is also the university where our Chinese player Zhang Yan is from!””
"In the last match, Zhang Yan scored a record 69 points. I wonder what kind of surprise he will bring us in this match.”
Instructor Zhang explained with a smile.
With the two Chinese commentators 'commentary, the short and cool appearance ceremony ended.
The substitutes all returned to the bench, while the starting players stayed on the field.
Marquette University's head coach, Colin, put his hands on his hips and stared at the upcoming game without saying a word.
He had told the players many times before the game what he should say and what tactics he should arrange. Now it was up to the players to play on the spot.
Marquette University's starting lineup remained unchanged: Zhang Yan, Wade, Chris Edie, Novak, Scott Merritt
Syracuse University's starting lineup: Jason Hart, Demetrius Needles, Anthony, Hakeem Warrick, and Itan Thomas.
Accompanied by the tsunami-like screams of the fans, the NCAA's final four had officially begun!
Scott Merritt's jump ball was successful. The Marquette Golden Hawks attacked first!
Zhang Yan held the ball and didn't wait for the Syracuse team's formation to completely fall into position. He sped up and rushed towards the inside line!
This was his usual style.
The point guard of Syracuse, Jason Hart, had just caught up with Zhang Yan's pace when Zhang Yan circled the ball and jumped past him.
Zhang Yan blocked Jason Hart's one and a half steps with each step. After a big jump, Jason Hart turned around and looked.
Zhang Yan had already jumped into the paint, and he had completely lost his position.
Zhang Yan jumped and landed between his teammate Scott Merritt and his opponent Idon Thomas.
Seeing this scene, the fans expressed their doubts.
They had never seen an attacking player jump into an empty space. It was the first time the fans had seen an attacking player jump into a crowd.
However, in the next second.
When Zhang Yan stood up and stretched out his hands, the basketball in his hands had already disappeared!
"Boom!"
Then, there was the sound of a strong slam dunk. Marquette University's center Merritt had already dunked in the air!
How did this guy pass the ball out?
The Staples Center exclaimed repeatedly!
When the big screen above their heads replayed the scene in slow motion, the fans suddenly realized!
It turned out that Zhang Yan had jumped into the paint, bent his knees, and flicked his wrist to the side the moment he put his hands together.
He used a very subtle move to slip the ball from his armpit to his teammate Merritt!
After passing the ball, Zhang Yan still maintained his posture of bending over to protect the ball, pretending that the basketball was still in his hand.
That was why the ball disappeared into thin air when he opened his arms again!
Good heavens, Zhang Yan had performed magic on his first ball!
