This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 112 The Chinese People Are Also Watching

RCA.DOME is one of the landmark buildings in Indianapolis. Because of its huge white round top, it is also called the Dome Stadium.

It is one of the most famous gymnasiums in Indiana. For most people, as soon as they enter this arena, they will be greeted with a sense of technology.

In fact, the dome is mainly used to play American football, and it can accommodate more than [-] spectators, which is much larger than the CONSECO Stadium, which is the home court of the NBA Indiana Pacers.

The third stage of the NCAA competition will be held in this arena, including the national semifinals and finals.

The semi-finals will be broadcast live nationwide by ESPN, and it has become the most popular game in the country. Other sports events, as well as popular American dramas, are all sidelined.

In fact, the NCAA ratings before the semifinals were almost comparable to the NBA games. For example, in the Sweet Sixteen stage, the Duke University vs. Louisiana game had tens of millions. The audience saw this game, although Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina and other traditional famous schools were all out.

But that doesn't affect the ratings at all.

Of course, the price paid by ESPN for obtaining the live broadcast rights is not small. They broadcast large-scale events under the NCAA league, and the amount paid each year is in units of [-] million.

The NCAA competition is a huge cake. Except for the players, the NCAA competition committee and the schools they belong to all make a lot of money. For example, George Mason University's historic break into the NCAA semifinals this year, peripheral products The sales were crazy, the number of souvenirs sold by the basketball team reached five figures, and sportswear with the George Mason University Patriots team logo can be seen almost everywhere on campus.

The game between the dark horse George Mason University and the University of Florida, which has only experienced the NCAA finals once, is slightly less popular than the game between the traditional famous school UCLA and the University of Louisiana, but the ticket sales are still amazing, the cheapest Tickets cost $70, which is a position where you can hardly even see the faces of the players. The most expensive tickets cost nearly ten thousand dollars.

And the best positions are basically either Indiana celebrities or some basketball legends.

Magic Johnson, who no longer served as a commentator, also came to the scene.

There is also the famous Pacers, Reggie Miller, who just had his jersey retirement ceremony yesterday.

Originally, Zhou Lin didn’t intend to let his girlfriends Misha and Wang Hanxiang come. Tickets for good seats cost thousands of dollars. Finally, with the help of Coach Jim, he got three tickets with good seats and acceptable prices. That's why Misha and Wang Hanxiang came to the Dome Stadium to watch the game,

The last ticket was given to coach Jim in high school.

Of course, except for Zhou Lin, let friends and lovers come, almost every Patriots player has relatives or friends present.

For most players, this may be the most glorious moment in their lives!
Especially Blair, his mother, stepfather, and younger sister are all here today, and he has finally recovered from his injury, and he can also leave his own footprint in the history of the NCAA.

The George Mason University Patriots wear traditional black and green jerseys, while the Florida Fish wear white and blue jerseys.

Countless fans wearing Patriots jerseys and Gators jerseys have begun to build momentum on both sides, and there is no need for media momentum anymore.

Of course, after all, the University of Florida is a team that has reached the national finals and has a good NCAA tournament resume. In general, there are more supporters and fans.

Of course, the Patriots, this year can be called the nemesis of the old strong team, Kentucky, North Carolina, Connecticut, fell in the hands of the dark horse in a row, making almost half of the NCAA Final Four guessers miscalculated.

Of course, there are a small group of people who made money from George Mason. For example, Wang Hanxiang, he just bought a $50 George Mason University Patriot team to express his support for Zhou Lin, and the super unpopular shot The team's odds are 1:850. If Wang Hanxiang really puts all his money on the table, he can retire early and return to China to become a multi-millionaire.

This year's game is historic for both teams.

The University of Florida Gators, who are sharpening their knives, are aiming for the championship, but George Mason University can easily let them enter the finals.

In the end is the Patriots black in the end, or the Gators once again into the national finals!
No one can be sure.

For Zhou Lin, there is another layer of meaning. The media people in China have obtained the broadcast rights, which means that more people will see him play.

As the first Chinese player in history to reach the semi-finals in the NCAA Division I league team, Zhou Lin has achieved unprecedented results, and for a long time, he has been unprecedented.

And as one of the founders of the Basketball Pioneer News, Yang Yi also came to the Dome Stadium in person.

At this time, Yang Yi was still a gentle young man with partial points, not yet middle-aged and oily. Of course, his poor energy and dare to say anything hadn't changed at all.

"I looked at the American counterparts, and they generally bad-mouthed your team. What do you want to say about this?"

"I will try my best to play this game well and hope to win the game."

"It doesn't matter, they don't understand, say something harsh, we Chinese people can't put it on this occasion, we Chinese people are watching it all the time, Zhou Lin, now the broadcast in China has been set up , if you play one game, we will broadcast one game, and if you play two games, we will broadcast two games. At least 8000 million people in China will watch this game. Now you are not only carrying the burden of the team on your shoulders , It will also be the light of hope for our China."

"It's not easy for them to win, they have to pass me first."

"Yes, this kind of momentum is needed. I have watched the Alligator team's game video. It is not impossible to play well. If you win the game, remember to treat me to dinner! Haha."

"Of course, of course."

"You can have a little wine then."

In fact, American Yang Yi and Kenny Smith were also in this arena. Zhou Lin was really curious about the picture of putting these two people on the commentary booth.

However, the fat and skinny duo of Kenny Smith and Barkley was tasked with casting the hotter game between UCLA and LSU.

As for the commentary of this game, it was Stan Van Gundy who just got off the coaching bench of the Heat. This man also has a younger brother, Jeff Van Gundy, who is now the head coach of the Chinese People's Home Team. After helping Pat Riley make a wedding dress, he has hidden his merits and fame. The other commentator is Ernie Johnson. Although the two of them will not be as outspoken as the pair of live treasures on the next channel, they are more academic. Some, but also experienced, know the importance of momentum.

"This is a game without any suspense. I think many people can't wait to watch Barkley's commentary..."
