Chapter 41
It was another sunny morning, spring was sleepy and autumn was exhausted. April was just right to sleep, but Sun Yang woke up early. Nothing happened last night. Sun Ruolin hugged her for a while and waited for Sun Yang to think she was asleep and pushed twice before letting go of her arms and pushing the door.
If you really don’t have any favors, it’s a bit fake. Sun Yang still remembers that they first saw Sun Ruo’s temporary surprise when they went to the airport during the Spring Festival last year. Then they have been together day and night since last summer, and they are so-called love over time. But Sun Yang knows that the two of them are impossible to walk together. He is more about the affection between siblings and siblings, and never dares to imagine.
After washing up, she put on her clothes and had some breakfast downstairs. Sun Yang drove away from home. He didn't notice that a figure stood like a clay sculpture behind the curtains on Sun Ruolin's room on the second floor, and a few tears hit the precious floor. If it weren't for that night, she would never know that the person had already walked into her heart. My daughter, the mother of my knowing her daughter, actually Irene would have seen the clues long ago, and she discussed this issue with Sun Zhifeng, but the result was that her husband said she was too careless. She didn't think about it anymore, but she didn't expect that all this would come true.
Sun Yang continued to attend classes in the morning, team training in the afternoon, and the finals in the evening. The whole Memphis seemed to be celebrating the festival, and countless fans flocked into this small town. It also led to the prosperity of industries such as catering, hotels, and souvenirs. The best jersey sold on the market is not Feng Zi Ross, but Sun Yang. Although there are not many Chinese in Memphis, there are quite a few Chinese in the United States. Besides, Sun Yang's performance can convince local fans to pay for it.
At around five o'clock, 12 members of the team finished their training and went to a hotel nearby to book a single room. Kalipari told the players some heartfelt words. After six o'clock, everyone quickly ate, drank and got half full.
The game started on time at 7:30. The Kansas Pinehawks, as the visiting team, have entered the court for an hour to train. They defeated the powerful North Carolina to reach the finals.
The history of the Kansas Pine Hawks is the history of American basketball. A hundred years ago, Dr. Ng Smith brought basketball to Kansas. Then there were Frist Allen, Adolf Rapp, Adolf Miller, Dean Smith, and Larry Brown, which has been passed down from generation to generation, creating the towering tree of American basketball.
In 1957, the Pine Hawks led by Wilt Chamberlain reached the third overtime in the NCAA final against North Carolina, and finally ended with a narrow victory of 54-53 with Kansas. This game is also considered the greatest game in NCAA history. It was also in Kansas that Chamberlain embarked on an unusual basketball path, but Kansas won the second NCAA championship under the leadership of Larry Brown until 1988. At that time, the team's core Danny Manning became the No. 1 NBA pick, and later Larry Brown became the only coach to win both NCAA and NBA championships.
However, Kansas' glory ended in 1988. Since then, although Kansas still has many stars, including Pierce, Lafrenz, Hinrich and other stars, Roy Williams also led the team to the NCAA semi-final four times and reached the championship twice, but he always missed the championship. In 2003, Bill Schef, who served as Larry Brown's assistant in Kansas for a long time, took over the coaching spike. Unfortunately, the team missed the NCAA semi-final four since then. The media once said that Roy Williams in Kansas was the best coach who had never won the championship, while Schef was the best coach who had never reached the semi-final four. It was not until this year that Bill Schef led the team to the finals and threw away this embarrassing hat. He defeated North Carolina led by Roy Williams.
Although he never achieved decent results, Bill Schef is an outstanding coach. His admissions ability was demonstrated when Ilinoi was old. He gathered the three musketeers of Hyde, Deron and Di Brown, and now he has gained a good hand for the University of Kansas. This year's Eagles are considered the most in-depth team in the country, with fourth-year defender Rasul Robinson and two juniors Mario Chamos and Brandon Rush in the backcourt, while powerful forward Darrell Ossell, two senior champions Darnell Jackson, and Kone.
Unlike Roy Williams' traditional fast attack system, Shaff, who studied under Larry Brown, advocated a positional battle with slow control and fast. Every offense and defense is a hand-to-hand battle with the opponent. The team has no absolute core. The team plays multiple players, and they are almost the Pistons on the NCAA field. This group of teams, mainly senior players, finally made it to the final.
The commentator seat invited Smith and Barkley again, and it seemed that they could only suppress the situation.
After a series of entrance activities, the game officially began. Memphis' five starting tigers were Rose, Sun Yang, Hassim, Anderson, and Dorsey. Kansas's five starting starters were Chamos, Brandon Rush, Asher, Jackson, and Konne.
Hasim lost again when he jumped the ball, and Jackson easily hit Chamos, who pushed the ball to the frontcourt without any haste. This was a slutch inside, and the players on both sides were excited from the beginning. At this moment of high attention, there was no need for the coach to fan the flames.
Chamos lifted the ball into the inside and gave Jackson, who received the ball and turned around and jumped up against layers of defense, and a light hook shot the ball into it.
From the practice before the game, Sun Yang knew that he felt bad today and took the initiative to control the ball. Rose did not forcefully shoot with encouragement, and went to the frontcourt to make a pick-and-roll for him. Sun Yang threw Chamos away from half a step and stopped the jump shot. He actually made a good start for the team.
The attacks between the two sides were very simple at the beginning, mostly with the cooperation between two or three. The scene was not like the finals but the All-Star Game, but the fans were very patient because the good-looking ones were always behind.
Chamos still gave the inside Jackson, who made a fake move and handed it to the kaon. In the face of the empty defense, the kaon jumped high and dunked with both hands. The ring seemed to be torn off, and the buzzing was shaken for a long time before recovery.
It was Sun Yang who controlled the ball, and Rose picked and rolled it, but Chamos made up this time. Sun Yang calmly passed the ball to Rose who was interspersed from the left. The latter broke forward in two consecutive crotch and then jumped vertically. Arthur on the front line was not hesitant to give the right No. 1 pick a hot pot to try. Rose had no choice but to pass the ball in the air to Anderson, who was ambushed at the bottom corner of the left wing. This was also a taboo, and it was easy to be stolen. Fortunately, Anderson caught the ball and tricked Rush, who was assisting in defense, and then quickly retracted from the three-point line. This also won him the feeling of shooting, and the basketball entered the box accurately.
Anderson and Rose slammed their hands to celebrate. His growth is obvious to everyone and is also an important contributor to the team's ability to get to this point.
At the beginning, both sides showed their outstanding offensive ability, Kansas was more reflected in the inside, and Memphis' two three-pointers also gave them a temporary lead of 6:4.
