I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 8 Advance to Top 32

"Hey! Deron's jump shot was blocked by Li again. No matter how many times he tries, he can't escape Li's Wuzhishan."

"Wonderful cooperation! Wade and Lee connected again and contributed an explosive dunk for us!"

"The University of Illinois made another mistake in coordination, Marquette University launched a defensive counterattack, and Lee's chasing three-pointer hit again!"

"Although I don't agree with this kind of offensive method, but this kind of chasing three-pointer is really murderous!"

"The point difference has widened to more than 20 points, and there is not much time left for the University of Illinois."

"..."

The two commentators on the commentary booth quickly broadcast the live game to the fans at the scene and in front of the TV.

After returning from the timeout, the University of Illinois failed to solve the offensive problem. Instead, it got worse and worse. Not only did it fail to score, but its defense was like a sieve, allowing Marquette University to score easily.

The point difference is getting bigger and bigger, and the suspense of the game is completely lost. Unless there is a miracle, the result cannot be changed.

Under such circumstances, the University of Illinois did not give up and kept all the main players on the field, proving that the team is still fighting for honor and for the fans who support them!

After all, this is the most important event of the NCAA every year, even if you lose, you have to fight until the last moment!
At the same time, a group of special people in the stands were discussing.

"There is no suspense anymore, Marquette University occupies the absolute initiative on the court."

"In this game, the sudden appearance of Marquette University disrupted the deployment of the University of Illinois, otherwise the game will be decided at the last moment."

"The competition is not important anymore. How is your investigation going? Do you need to exchange information?"

"We are competitors. Is it really good to exchange information so blatantly?" A scout joked with a smile.

"Everyone knows well that coming to watch this game is not just to examine two potential players, Wade and Deron."

"Then don't hide it, I will act as a representative and express my views first."

"After tonight's game, Deron's draft price will definitely decline. When he encounters strict defense, he can't find a way to break the game. The means of attack are still lacking. It takes time to polish his skills. I don't think he will participate this year. Draft."

"Agree!"

"Seconded!"

…………

All the scouts nodded in agreement.

"I showed my sincerity, it's your turn."

Other scouts also shared some of the information they had collected. As long as they collected it carefully, they could find it. As long as they didn't reveal the core information they had, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.

"Wade showed a comprehensive offensive and defensive ability in this game, and has incredible athletic ability. Except for three-pointers, he has no shortcomings on the court. If he can lead the team to go further, I believe He should be high in the draft."

A group of scouts exchanged their information, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of Wade and Deron, as if they had reached a consensus, and did not mention the other players in this game.

At this time, a discordant voice interrupted: "Don't you pay attention to the No. 13 player at Marquette University?"

"The No. 13 player did perform well in this game, but this is just a game that can't explain anything, and it may be a flash in the pan. No one will focus on such an uncertain player." A senior player The detective responded quickly.

"I understand this too, but..."

Seeing that this honest and honest Knicks scout wanted to continue talking, another scout interrupted in time: "Although player No. 13 showed NCAA top defensive ability and elite shooting ability in this game, other players We don't know how much potential he has, and what if his shooting and physical talent are no longer an advantage when he enters a higher level of the game?"

"Such an uncertain unknown player, I believe everyone here will not recommend it to their team's head coach or owner!"

All the scouts nodded thoughtfully. They didn't know whether they agreed with the Heat's scouts, or they had made up their minds, so they kept silent and stopped communicating.

Anyone who can be a chief scout has a few brushes, but he is not a simple scout like the Knicks.

After the group of scouts finished their discussions, the game came to a close.

Perhaps because of the big lead, Marquette University was a little slack, allowing the University of Illinois to chase back a few points, but time was running out, and the final result could not be changed.

As the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the NCAA tournament came to an end.

In the end, Marquette University defeated the University of Illinois with a score of 84:68 and advanced to the top 32 of the NCAA National Championships!
"Win! We advanced!"

"You guys did a great job! We are coming to the round of 32!"

"Let's go! Marquette Golden Eagle!"

The moment the final whistle sounded, the players on the Marquette Golden Eagles bench rushed into the field, cheered and shouted the team's slogan!
Marquette University's fan area has also become a sea of ​​celebration, wildly celebrating the team's promotion.

In the other half, there was stark contrast, and the area where the University of Illinois is located was dead.

Some players lowered their heads and showed frustrated expressions, and many players even shed tears.

After losing this game, it means that their "March Madness" tour this year has come to an end.

For junior players, there is still a chance to make a comeback next year, but for some seniors, their NCAA career is over.

It's brutal, but also realistic.

After the silence, the fans of the University of Illinois stood up collectively and gave warm applause and encouragement to the players who had fought hard for the whole game.

Failure will not affect the fans' love for the team. They will always support their team, year after year, day after day, no matter how the team's record is, no matter how the team changes.

This is NCAA, this is college basketball, without too many commercial factors, only the purest thing of basketball!
But the uncomfortable is the uncomfortable, and the demeanor still needs to be talked about.

After adjusting their emotions, the players from the University of Illinois lined up and hugged and shook hands with the players from Marquette University one by one.

Facing the extremely frustrated De Xiaopang, Li Xuan accidentally reached out and touched Delong's head, and said comfortingly: "The future is yours!"

Delong looked dazed, and mercilessly opened Li Xuan's hand touching his head. He thought the other party was mocking him.

God TM the future is mine!It's like you're much older than me.

He wanted to make a statement of '30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor', but looking directly at Li Xuan's extremely sincere eyes, at this moment, he couldn't tell what the other party meant.

Seeing such a big reaction from Delong, Li Xuan realized that he had said something wrong, and blamed Benzema for making him subconsciously blurt out such hurtful remarks.

Just about to explain but was interrupted by De Xiaopang: "Li, don't be too happy, next time we meet, I will get back my money with interest!"

Seeing Delong's harsh words, Li Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, and responded with a smile: "Then I will wait for your revenge!"

You are fat and stupid, I will go to the draft this year and I won’t play with you anymore. When you enter the NBA in a year or two, I will be able to hang you at any time, and I want to seek revenge from my brother. You are too young!
Li Xuan can't tell De Xiaopang what he really thinks, otherwise he will be beaten up by Fatty.

After the players from both sides embraced and saluted, some players walked towards the player tunnel one after another. Li Xuan did not stay, and followed his teammates to the player tunnel and returned to the locker room.
