I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 68 The Lonely Curry

The 8-in-4 battle between Kansas and Davidson College has reached the most critical moment.

With only 39 seconds left, the two sides battled to a 57-level tie.

With Curry's miraculous three-pointer, Davidson College successfully continued its life.

In this game, Curry almost carried Davidson College against the mighty Kansas alone.

However, even though the score was even, the situation of the game was still favorable for Kansas.

Because the NCAA round is 35 seconds, they can consume the game time as much as possible, calmly organize an attack, and at the same time do not leave too many opportunities for the opponent.

Sure enough, UCLA adopted a time-killing tactic.

Chalmers held the ball in the frontcourt, almost standing quietly on the spot while patting the ball.

His teammates all pulled away, and the opponent also stabilized the fence, waiting in silence.

At the last moment of the game, the two sides who played against each other on the court fell silent strangely, as if waiting for the verdict of fate.

It was in stark contrast to the noisy hustle and bustle in the stands.

Time passed by second by second, and finally when there were 6 seconds left in the countdown to attack, Kansas made a shot.

Chalmers dribbled the ball laterally, and Curry blocked him tightly.

Suddenly, Curry found that "a wall" appeared around him at some point.

A wall of flesh!
The tall black man Darrell Arthur pulled out without anyone noticing, blocking his moving line.

Curry and Arthur collided with each other. Although it was not a foul, the defense was also blocked.

What Westbrook was waiting for was this opportunity, and he rushed to the basket like the wind.

Because of the rotation, the center forward who was originally responsible for marking Arthur had to switch to defend Chalmers, but the speed was not of the same order at all. When he took one step, the opponent had already taken three steps.

Fortunately, Davidson College was not completely unprepared. Other team members came to help defend in advance, and several people formed a circle around Chalmers.

But Chalmers Yigao was bold and fearless, and with a huge momentum, he jumped far away from the basket and made a layup!
The ball was shot and hit the basket, and when it was about to pop out, suddenly a figure in a blue uniform flew over and dunked the ball into the basket.

It was Sasha Cowen, the center who would play for the Cavaliers in the future, made great contributions at the last moment!

Chalmers, Darrell Arthur, Sasha Cowan... Compared with Davidson College's Curry fighting alone, Kansas' strength is more balanced, and everyone can stand alone.

At this time, there are only 4 seconds left in the game!
Davidson College calls for a timeout, and the coach lays out tactics.But everyone knows that the last ball will definitely be on Stephen Curry!

It was in this almost clear situation that the two sides returned to the court.

Curry wants to catch the ball, but his man, Brandon Rush, clings to him like a poultice.

This Curry's younger brother in the Warriors in the future, defended like a chicken blood throughout the game.

The effect is very good. The defensive Curry has only scored 25 points so far. You must know that Curry has not scored 30 points since the start of the tournament!
I don't know if Curry will find a pair of three-inch golden lotus embroidered shoes for my younger brother to wear for this matter in the future!
Under close pressure, it was very difficult for Curry to connect the ball. Seeing that the ball was about to fail, the referee had already put the whistle in his mouth.Curry finally ran back through a fake move, flashed a position, and received a pass from his teammate.

But he sacrificed too much space in order to catch the ball, and he was almost at the halfway line at this time!

Curry tried to charge forward, but Rush blocked him again.

4 second, 3 seconds, 2 seconds...

Curry only advanced a few meters, and there was no time!
A few steps away from the three-point line, Curry took off and shot!
The ball flew to the basket, and the numbers on the timer quickly, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3, 02...

At this moment, everyone held their breath and concentrated their eyes on the falling ball!
Duang!The ball hits the hoop and bounces out!

Beep, it's time!
The lore failed!

As soon as the championship started, Curry, who had been day and night all the way, failed to create a miracle in the end!
Davidson College, the 10th seed in the Midwest Division, lost to the top seed University of Kansas by one goal!
Curry looked at the basket in a daze, spit out the braces and bit his mouth, his figure was lonely and his expression was lonely.

If he can have a reliable partner by his side, maybe it will be a different result!
Of course, he didn't know that in the future, he would have a good brother by his side, who would make splashes in the NBA with him!

So far, the final four are all released: Kansas, Memphis, UCLA, North Carolina.

It is worth mentioning that this is one of the few top seeds in the four divisions of the NCAA for many years to enter the Final4. It can be seen that the strength of the top four this year is extraordinary.

The semi-finals also came out: North Carolina VS UCLA, Kansas VS Memphis.

The venue of the game was moved to San Antonio, and each team had a 3-day rest period.

However, in these three days, everyone is busy. In addition to training and preparing for the game, they also have to shoot NCAA promotional videos and posters.

The NCAA officially invited the stars of the four teams to take a photo together.

Of course, Memphis was invited by the "iron triangle" Ross, CD Roberts, and Dorsey.

When I arrived at the shooting site, I saw the leading players of other teams, and of course they were all familiar faces.

There are Chalmers and Darrell Arthur of Kansas, Lawson, Hansbrough and Danny Green of North Carolina, Westbrook, Kevin Love and Darren Cole of UCLA. Leeson, Lute Mbah a Moute.

We are all star players in the NCAA, and most of them have played against each other, which can be regarded as sympathy.

Although there may be bumps and bumps on the court, and occasional blushes and thick necks, but off the court, they are all polite.

As for the kind of SB bridge that pretends to be face-to-face, it is even more unlikely to appear.

A large number of professional photographic equipments were arranged on site, and the venue background, lighting, make-up, and camera were all experienced professionals in the industry.

This group of young talents who are all-powerful on the court are a little green in the face of such a scene. First, they were manipulated by the makeup artists for a long time. Dorsey felt that he had been powdered a lot. Make up yourself a white player.

Then everyone was asked to pose in a lot of weird poses by the on-site director and camera. With the aesthetics of this group of steel straight men, many of the poses are a bit pretentious, so shameful!
The players first posed together and took some group photos. It is said that these photos will be accompanied by a headline: BIG TIME.

After that, the players took the team as a unit to take promotional photos for their own team.

After that, the players of different teams were mixed and matched, and finally, they took their own single-person makeup photos for each player.

Dorsey quickly mastered the trick, as long as his eyes are firm and his expression is indifferent, in short, "pretend to be cool". Of course, if you can't pretend to be cool, then pretend to be B. The result is the same anyway.

And at the end there is an embarrassing part, which is to require every player who takes a personal makeup photo to get a nickname for himself, and make a calendar with the photo.

If you can't get it out yourself, the staff will pick one up for you.Naturally, they are all bad street names such as Flash and Iron Man.

Nicknames for many people are readily available.For example, Rose's nickname is Little Bear, Westbrook's nickname is Brodie, which is the name of his pet dog, and Chalmers' nickname is Super Mario.

CD Roberts didn't have a ready-made nickname, so he couldn't figure it out after holding back for a long time, but he was dubbed "Skywalker".

This nickname born out of "Star Wars" naturally couldn't escape everyone's ridicule.

"Skywalker, stop playing, the Galactic Empire needs you to save it!"

"CD, may the Force be with you!"

When it was Dorsey's turn, the staff asked as usual: "Do you have a nickname?"

"Standing in front of you is Oden's strongest enemy in the NCAA, Harden's strongest finisher, Rose's big brother, the ace of the Memphis Tigers, the future supernova of the NBA, the tiger of the basketball inside, Ben Wallace second, Stoudemire Tadmire, the dream of thousands of girls, Chinese boy Joey Dorsey."

Hearing this string of nicknames, everyone was surprised for a while, and soon burst into laughter.

The staff member was also very humorous: "Everyone come one by one, too many people can't take the camera!"

"Don't listen to his nonsense, his nickname is Zuipao!" CD Roberts was worried about his nickname of "Skywalker", and he was happy to go into the water with Radosi.

"Shut up, Skywalker! Go and shoot your "Star Wars", or you won't be able to keep up with the crew's box lunch!" Dorsey cursed angrily.

"Hahahaha, you Memphis people are so interesting!"

Kevin Love leaned forward and back with a smile, and the snot bubbles were about to come out.

Dorsey gave him a blank look, and said: "Shut up, and you, Kevin, you don't even have a girlfriend. When James is the same age as you, the children will be soy sauce! I see, you are called hand Forget the rusher!"

In an interview with Kevin Love before, he revealed that in order to play well and lead the team to win the championship, he has not even had a girlfriend, because women will affect his performance.

This has also become a famous stalk that everyone makes fun of him.

"Joy, you're really a talker!" Le Fu retorted.

"Hand puncher!"

"Mouth cannon!"

……

Westbrook said to Rose with a smirk on his face: "It sounds like they are quite complementary!"

"Hand punch!"

"Mouth cannon!"
