The glory of the basketball gods

Chapter 1 University of Miami

Sun, sand, bikinis!

Miami's beaches are always so lingering, dazzling sunshine, scorching sand, palm trees surrounded by green, beauties in bikinis are playing and frolicking on the beach, many of them are students of a famous nearby university, they His every move also attracted the attention of many men swimming in the sea, which made the originally hot seaside weather even hotter.

A university located not far from Miami Beach is the University of Miami, which ranks No. [-] in comprehensive scores in Florida.

This university is well-known in the United States. Stallone and Dwayne Johnson are all alumni here. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the University of Miami is a place for tough guys.

The American football at the University of Miami is even more surprising. It has won five national championships, which has also deepened the impression that there are tough guys here.However, compared with American football, the basketball results of the University of Miami are insignificant. Looking back at the entire basketball history of the University of Miami, it is a pity that they have not even made it to the top 5 in the United States.

However, today there is an NCAA round of 16. The University of Miami will play against the University of Kentucky. If Kentucky can be defeated, the University of Miami will make history. It is the first time in the nearly 30-year team history that the University of Miami will reach the top 8 of the NCAA!
Today's Miami is especially hot. The sun hanging in the sky emits scorching sunlight. The dazzling sunlight makes people dare not look directly at it. People playing on the beach even have to wear sunshade glasses to stay at the beach.

On the shaded path blocked by green vegetation from the sun, two young men who had just finished swimming at the beach were rushing to the gymnasium.The two of them were still complaining to each other while walking hastily.

"I let you watch the time, who knew you were an hour late!"

"How can you blame me for this? I told you to come out with a watch, but who told you not to. I just went swimming in the sea for a while, and who knows, two hours have passed."

"You know how to stare at beautiful women!"

The two kept murmuring, and finally came outside the gymnasium of the University of Miami.

The stairs outside the gymnasium were a little hot under the scorching sun. The two had just come out of the sea and had been walking barefoot. When they stepped up these few steps, the two jumped up almost comically.

Pushing open the door of the gymnasium, two gusts of hot and cold aura rush towards you at the same time!
What is cold is the air-conditioning blowing in the gymnasium, and what is hot is the hot basketball atmosphere in the gymnasium.

After the two entered the gymnasium, they quickly found two empty seats in the corner and sat down. Looking up, the second half had already been played for 12 minutes, and the game was over in 8 minutes.

"Damn it, why is the score so far apart? Is Miami out of play again this year?" One person couldn't help complaining as soon as he sat down.

Another person looked up, and the score was 65-39. The University of Kentucky led the University of Miami by a full 26 points!
"This game is nothing to watch. In the first half, Kentucky played 21-7. The difference in strength is too obvious." Another middle-aged man watching the game next to the two said.

The boy who started to complain turned his head when he heard the sound, and found that the middle-aged man next to him was wearing sunglasses with his collar turned up in the gymnasium, and the logo of the NBA team—Washington Wizards was embroidered on the chest of his coat. .

"Are you a scout for the Wizards?"

"Hush" the middle-aged man smiled slightly and made a silent gesture.

The Washington Wizards are the team with the greatest chance of winning the NBA No. A successful draft can sometimes change the fate of a team for years to come.

"Are you here to see Dewayne Collins from our University of Miami?" The boy sitting next to the middle-aged man asked in a low voice.

Dewayne Collins is the signature player of this year's University of Miami. He is 2.03 meters tall and plays the position of power forward. Became the main player of the team, and Collins, who entered his sophomore year, went one step further, almost single-handedly bringing the University of Miami to the top 2.20 of the NCAA.At the University of Miami, Collins was a basketball star in the school.

However, to the disappointment of the boys, the middle-aged man shook his head slightly, and said in a disdainful tone: "Dwyane's level is not bad among college students, but his level is still not up to the NBA standard. Even if you can enter the NBA, it will be at the end of the second round."

At this moment, a defender from Kentucky used his flexible direction change and excellent speed to get past the defense of the Miami players, easily broke through and made a layup, and opened the difference between the two teams to 30 points!
"It's him, he is my goal! The biggest favorite in the 2010 No. [-] pick-John Wall!"

From what the two boys heard, it seemed that this player named John Wall really performed well on the court, and his level was obviously ahead of other players in the same competition, even though the University of Miami used two guards to cover him. In the middle of the defense, Wall can always find the opponent's defensive flaws in the offense, so as to tear the opponent's defense line, score by himself or assist his teammates to score.

When Wall hit a jumper, with less than 4 minutes left, the University of Kentucky took a 78-47 lead, and the outcome was decided.Kentucky's head coach withdrew all the main players on the court, 5 up and 5 down, it seems that in his eyes, his team has a sure chance of winning.

In this game, Wall played 32 minutes and scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists. More than half of the team's points were related to it.Although it was an away game, when Wall left the field, he still received warm applause and cheers from the fans of the University of Miami present.

"John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Patrick Patterson, Eric Bledsoe, Daniel Orton, these five key players from the University of Kentucky are all qualified to be selected in the first round of the NBA. With the strength of the draft list, such an NCAA team is almost impossible to be defeated in college." The middle-aged man stood up after finishing speaking, and said, "If John is gone, there is no need for me to stay here. We, the Wizards, have to decide on this player who can only meet once in ten years."

"Look, even though we have fallen behind by more than 30 points, the Asian boy on the court is still working hard, which is quite different from the frustrated performance of other players on our team." A boy said to his partner Said.

"That's right! Even Dwayne Collins can't cheer up, and he still refuses to give up." Another boy echoed.

The middle-aged man who left his seat looked back at the court. The black-haired and yellow-skinned young player mentioned by the boy just managed to cover the hot pot of the opposing Kentucky player.

"This player's fighting spirit and willpower are commendable, but unfortunately, his physical condition is too average." The middle-aged man shook his head, turned and walked towards the exit of the gymnasium, "If you give him a black body, maybe he will He's a good player."
