067: The intrusion of NBA stars(1/2)
Reed squatted on the ground, extremely upset, holding his head in his hands.
At the last moment, both he and Li Ang ended the game with a shot.
But it was the same team that Nima ended up with!
In fact, Reed's performance today was already outstanding. He scored 21 points and made 3 of 7 three-pointers. It was simply a superb performance.
But there was no way, Payne's side played really hard today, shooting 3 of 13 from the field, not even 25% from the field.
All three goals were stolen through fast breaks.
But Payne's stoppage was not the main reason for Ohio State's loss. The main reason was the strategic mistake in the defense against Leon.
With 33 points in a single game, who would have thought that Francis would suddenly play support for Li Ang today, and Li Ang could really kill the game as the main attacker.
This college duo is an unexpected match.
In some ways, Boss Fu understands Li Ang's body better than Nicole!
At this time, Li Ang and Francis had already begun to hug and high-five the players from Ohio State.
Reed also stood up. Although he lost, he had to lose with dignity and affordability.
He has already thought about it, and will give a good blessing to those water bastards later.
After all, they win above board.
Reed has been waiting for Leon and Francis. He thought to himself that he was put last because I have won their respect!
As a result, after Li Ang and Francis hugged everyone else at Ohio State, they were about to turn around and leave...
As they walked, the two of them complained.
"Why didn't you see Reed? You won't be bullied by us and hide away and cry secretly, right?"
"It shouldn't be. We didn't laugh at his shooting posture in front of him. He shouldn't be so sad."
Reed was so angry that his veins popped out. I'm not far in front of you. Damn it!
Facts have once again proved that some people are born with a sense of existence.
"Hey!" It wasn't until Reed shouted that Leon and Francis discovered him in the crowd.
"Damn it, when did you show up?" Francis looked surprised.
"I've obviously always been here, but you guys are going too far!"
"Oh, I just caught a glimpse of you. At first glance, I thought you were the stadium security guard. Hahahaha." Li Ang scratched his head in embarrassment.
I can't help it, you look so much like a security guard!
Reed perfectly explains what it means to be invisible to everyone.
Reed:......
I wasn't that angry after losing the game, but now my blood pressure is suddenly so high!
"You won beautifully today, keep up the good work in the finals." Reid shook his head, forget it, don't be angry, at least they still remember my shooting moves.
"You guys fought very hard and committed too many fouls. It was just this foul. If I hadn't missed the free throw, I guess I could have scored 40 points today..."
Seeing Reed's resentful expression, Li Ang quickly swallowed his words.
Sorry for getting excited, I came here to comfort my opponent. If I made a mistake, come again!
"Okay, okay, you played well too, don't be discouraged, keep working hard."
"Yes, yes, your shooting posture is so cool, you will definitely have a future in the future, come on!"
Li Ang and Francis sang together, and Reed had never seen such perfunctory praise.
Do you need to tell me that my shooting form is cool?
It’s just not enough!
After hugging Reid, all the Ohio State players had left the field.
Then, the reporters rushed up and gathered around Li Ang and Francis.
"Having led the team to the historic March Madness Finals, what do you want to say to Maryland fans now?"
"We will bring the championship back to Maryland." Li Ang's answer was still decisive.
Don't be afraid of being slapped in the face at this time, because regardless of whether you raise the flag or not, losing in the finals is very embarrassing and a failure.
In this case, it is better to show off before the game starts and build momentum.
"Li, let's talk about today's 33 points. You were very active on the offensive end today. Is this how you arranged it before the game?"
"Yes, coach Gary Williams did detailed research before the game. He arranged everything from the beginning. Thank you for his trust." Li Ang said nonsense seriously.
No, how can this be called nonsense? This is called a pattern~
"So do you think that your ability to score 33 points today is a reflection of your personal ability?"
"Part of it is, but part of it comes from the help of my teammates. Thank you to Obina and Dixon for their off-ball coverage, and thank you to Steve for his passing. By the way, he scored a triple-double today!"
As Li Ang spoke, he pointed at Francis and wildly suggested that the reporter should also interview him.
During the period of suspension, France mentioned Leon to everyone he met. Now, it is time for Leon to help Frances divert attention.
The two brothers want to benefit each other and make each other comfortable.
As expected, all the reporters looked at Francis, and Francis also started to behave. He shook his head slightly and closed his eyes: "Oh no, actually a triple-double data is nothing. I mainly..."
As a result, before Francis could finish speaking, the reporters said "Oh" and then surrounded Li Ang again.
"No, I haven't... Hey, don't push me out, hey!"
In the face of Li Ang's 33 points and the domineering goal at the last minute, Fred's sense of presence today is actually not much different from Reid.
While reporters were interviewing Li Ang, UConn coach Jim Calhoun stood up in the stands and was about to leave.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the arena, he was caught by reporters.
"Coach Jim, are you here specifically to observe the Terrapins today?"
"I was watching the Terrapins and Ohio State at the same time, but as you can see, now I just have to watch the Terrapins." Calhoun replied with a smile.
"So who do you think will be UConn's biggest problem in this arena in two days?"
"It's all quite troublesome. They are a finals team and they have no problems."
After speaking kindly, Calhoun waved to reporters, got into a taxi and left.
Calhoun felt regret for the first time, regretting that he had not stepped up his efforts to capture Leon.
If he wins Li Ang, then he doesn't have to worry about anything anymore, and the championship will definitely be guaranteed.
After all, both Hamilton and Lyon are the kind of people who can beat their opponents until they vomit.
It's a pity that now he has to become Li Ang's enemy.
But it doesn't matter, it just makes it more difficult to win.
Hamilton has the ability to solve all difficulties.
If it doesn't work out, run it again!
The next day, UConn and Maryland dominated the headlines in all sports newspapers and sports channels.
Duke and Ohio State have completely disappeared from people's sight.
Although their performance is also good, as the saying goes, in competitive sports, the winner is the winner and the loser is the loser.
Now, people only focus on the winners!
Two days later, on March 29, the finals of the 1999 March Madness Championship will begin.
On that day, not even the NBA would arrange games, so we had to give way.
This is called platooning.
The annual NCAA Finals can be said to be equivalent to a social festival in China.
The atmosphere of the competition is very strong.
So much so that many NBA stars are talking about the game on the 29th.
TNT TV station went to interview many stars and asked them their opinions.
Kobe Bryant said that I don’t know since I haven’t played before. Now I just want to figure out how to surpass the Spurs in terms of record. Don’t interrupt my training.
O'Neal said that he likes Li Ang very much because he knows Chinese Kung Fu.
When Buckley heard that Leon was actually called the Little Flying Pig, he almost laughed out loud.
"Wait a minute, little flying pig? Do you know? I am unique. No one can reach my level.
Don't just compare me with any student player. There is no comparison, and he doesn't have the ability to do it, you know?"
Fliggy is as arrogant as ever. After all, he is the one who can say "Jordan is handsome? He is so handsome" in front of Jordan on the show.
If you want Flying Pig to praise you, unless he thinks you really have something.
To be continued...
