This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 81 Over the Mountain, Goodbye to the Mountain

"We won, we really won!"

"Mighty Kentucky, ****"

"The nameless ghost will not be cut under the sword!"

This game brought too much joy and energy to the George Mason University Patriots. Compared with the division champion, every victory in March Madness needs to be celebrated enthusiastically.

Sports newspapers in Washington also reported on the game grandly.

This is a historic and memorable moment.

Because this is the first national game victory in the history of George Mason University Patriots.

The weak George Mason Patriots team once broke into March Madness in 1989, 1999 and 2001, but they all lost in the first round. In nearly 30 NCAA journeys, they have not won even in front of the national audience. once.

The Patriots did not return to George Mason University, but George Mason University's campus is now full of basketball flags.

The match schedule for March Madness is very intensive. The match between the top 32 and the top 16 will be held every other day. The venue for the match is still the Wells Fargo Center Arena in Philadelphia.

So the Patriots did not go back to school, but waited for the start of the next game.

After traversing the mountain of Kentucky, the Patriots faced an even higher mountain.

The No. [-] seed in the Washington Division—University of Connecticut.

They defeated the University of Albany in New York 72-59 in the first round.

Under the leadership of Jim Calhoun, the University of Connecticut has won the top spot in the Big East this season.

The intensity of this division is more intense than the competition in the CAA league.

Randy Foye and Kyle Lowry are at Villanova University, Wesley Matthews and Steve Novak are at Marquette University, and they are good at training center players. Georgetown University with Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert, as well as the University of Cincinnati, as well as famous basketball schools such as Syracuse University and University of Louisville, are all in this division.

The University of Connecticut, which can stand out from the Big East, is also one of the favorites for this NCAA championship.

The heat is even higher than the North Carolina Tar Bells that won the championship last year and Duke University led by the old coach K.

The toughest piece of bone in the Washington Division has fallen into the Patriots' bowl.

If they can beat the University of Connecticut, then the Patriots who have advanced to the national semifinals are expected to move to Columbia, Washington to start the game.

The Washington Huskies also won the first round, beating Utah State University 75-61, and they will face the University of Illinois in this round.

If both teams can win another round, they will play another round in the semifinals of the division.

George Mason, the Patriots are also expected to have revenge.

Zhou Lin and other teammates visited Blair that night and brought the news of the team's promotion to Blair who was undergoing an examination in the hospital.

Fortunately, Blair's knee injury was tested negative and there was no structural damage, which was classified as a grade 1 knee sprain.

Of course, even with a Grade 1 sprain, Blair needs to rest at least one to two weeks. Against UConn, Blair can only watch from the sidelines.

That is, in the fastest case, he can come back in the next round. If it is slow, he will have to wait until the Washington Regional Finals or even the National Final Four to play. These are also based on the fact that the Patriots can continue to win.

Blair's parents will fly to Philadelphia at noon tomorrow and take care of him.

That night, Zhou Lin and his teammates watched the video of the University of Connecticut's first round game, as well as the previous highlights.

University of Connecticut, very strong, unexpectedly strong.

There are five future NBA players in their team, Rudy Gay, Josh Boone, Hilton Armstrong, Marcus Williams, Jeff Adrian.

The team's lineup configuration is luxurious, and the physical fitness of the team's players is excellent. There are more than three six-foot-nine-inch players in the team.

And Rudy Gay, also [-]-foot-[-], also played small forward.

This guy can be identified as the black version of Zhou Lin who strengthens rebounding inside confrontation and weakens passing attributes.

In his sophomore season, he became the leader of the University of Connecticut.

Best team member in the Big East.

Although his physical fitness was not at the top level, he was also very explosive. This gentleman was later dubbed a weakened version of McGrady by some fans for a period of time.

It's also a testament to his talent.

This season, he averaged 15.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. This is the data obtained under the premise that he has a group of good teammates.

Similarly, he is also a candidate for the top ten picks in this rookie class, and he is also the top two players in the small forward position among players in this class. In addition to playing against the sky in his senior year, Adam from Gonzaga .Morrison.

It is not normal to say that Zhou Lin is not worried about facing such a player.

In the past, the players in the third position he was facing were all a circle smaller than him, or letting the players in the fourth position or even the fifth position defend him, but it was a big misplacement, but Rudy Gay was a standard Accurate third position play.

Zhou Lin couldn't fall asleep, so he called Misha, and Misha comforted Zhou Lin on the phone.

Zhou Lin almost fell asleep with Misha's pleasant voice, and the latter hung up the phone after Zhou Lin fell asleep.

What Zhou Lin didn't expect was that the next afternoon, Misha and Wang Hanxiang came to Philadelphia, along with their old coach Jim, and Toby who had grown into the new captain of Flint Hills School. The students in front of me.

These people are all here to cheer for themselves!
"If Grandpa wasn't undergoing chemotherapy, I'm afraid he would also fly to watch your game, Zhou, you shouldn't have any worries."

While walking on the streets of Philadelphia, at dusk, when the sun was half-slanted, Misha held Zhou Lin's hand and said softly.

"I don't want to disappoint Blair, and I don't want to disappoint you."

"Don't put all the burden on your shoulders."

Misha looked at Zhou Lin and said seriously: "For the new members of the Flint Hill Brown Scorpions, you are really unimaginable like a myth. Every step you take is creating miracles. Flint Hill Brown Scorpions won the high school championship, the CAA league championship, which time, you are the favored side, no matter where you go, in my eyes, you are my hero."

Zhou Lindao: "Am I really that good?"

Misha smiled and said, "This time you are sure to win, because Lady Luck has come to your side."

"Lady Luck? Where is it?"

Misha pointed to herself and said, "Me! Don't you think I'm your goddess of luck?"

Speaking of which, Misha kissed Zhou Lin unexpectedly, and said, "This is a lucky kiss. Everything will go well tomorrow."

Zhou Lin smiled: "Then I want to be luckier, can the goddess kiss me a few more times?"

Misha is different from the girl in love that Zhou Lin imagined, but Lori can also be Yujie.

She is independent, has a clear mind, and can give herself good advice.

And every time we meet, a few words can make Zhou Lin's mood instantly improve.
