The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 45 Chapter 45
"Red University Skywalkers! Red University Skywalkers!"

As Ye Ze threw the basketball into the sky, the cheers from the red waves in the stands shook the sky!
The substitute players on the sidelines rushed onto the field to celebrate with Ye Ze and the others.

Only Zhou Si slipped away quickly...

On the other side, the eyes of the Temple University players were full of pity, and many senior players shed tears directly!
They feel that they can turn over, just a little bit!

……

In the stands, everyone in Syracuse who left their seats was a little confused. Is this the strength of the No. 1 seed?

In their view, this game is just two teams pecking at each other!

The end result was nothing more than luck for the Skywalker team, who got away with a few points.

The other Skywalker fans in the stands were a little disappointed that Zhou Si didn't play well in this game at first, but then they forgot it because of the joy of victory!

We are the Sweet Sixteen!
……

"Hey, Zhou's performance is not stable. In such an important game, the whole audience is almost invisible."

"That's right, if it weren't for those wonderful defenses, I would have even forgotten about this guy throughout the game."

"It may be that the physical strength has not recovered, or the mental state is not enough..."

Listening to the conversations of other scouts, many scouts who consciously knew and understood Zhou Si smiled secretly.

Hehe, is it still Zhou who can be seen through by you?

What the hell, we have been studying him for several months and still haven't figured it out!

……

After the game against Temple University, the Skywalker team began intense preparations the next day!
Different from the relaxed environment before, every player has a feeling that the rain is about to come.

Because the next opponent is Syracuse University, the fourth place in the Eastern District!
Facing No.16 James Johnson College, they have a great psychological advantage!

Facing Temple University, which is ninth, they feel relatively stable.

But facing fourth place Syracuse University, many players began to faintly worry.

Can we go any further?

Although it is said that reaching the Sweet Sixteen has broken their school history record, but the players who have reached this point will inevitably have extravagant hopes.

We can go further and further!
The past few months have been like a dream for many Skywalkers players!
In other words, they couldn't even dream that they could stand on the stage of "March Madness"!

Not to mention entering the Sweet Sixteen!

If they can, they hope that this dream will never wake up!
because
This is their burning youth!
……

Compared with the nervousness of the Skywalkers players, the Syracuse University players who watched the game on the spot seemed full of confidence.

Although they are the fourth pick in the Eastern Conference and the Skywalkers are the first pick, they have no mentality of going above and beyond.

Oh, that's just a group of chickens!
……

On March 3th, in the anticipation of the fans, the round of sixteen finally started!

The Skywalkers take on the Syracuse Oranges in Soldier Stadium!

Whether it's the emerging powerhouse Skywalker team that continues its undefeated myth, or Syracuse University to maintain its glory as a wealthy family, the battle is imminent!
Not surprisingly, the military gymnasium was once again overcrowded tonight.

During shooting practice, looking at the orange jersey in the west stand, Zhou Si was secretly relieved.

It's okay, it's okay, it's not...

At this time, the live camera was given to Carmelo Anthony in the front row of the court!
Anthony, who was sitting in the front row, looked very calm, and waved his hand towards the camera in a gentlemanly way, causing cheers from the west stands!
This year's melon is very sweet, because the New York Knicks, who recently hit the playoffs, are currently 42 wins and 30 losses under his leadership, ranking third in the Eastern Conference!

His own scoring average has also reached 29.7 points, and he is very hopeful to break Durant's three-game scoring streak!
Zhou Si was also a little shocked when he heard Ye Qin tell him the news a few days ago.

Let me go, the Big Apple isn't rotten anymore?Counting down before?

In his impression, the Knicks seem to have been at the bottom of the league for many years.

Then Zhou Si couldn't help grinning when he looked at the records of other teams with bad performances, it's too crazy!
Nearly half of the bad teams in this league are approaching the madness of chasing Duncan back then, right?
The cheers of the fans on the sidelines woke Zhous from his thoughts.

Zhou Si, who has known the history of Syracuse University, knows that Anthony is a star alumnus of Syracuse University. Ten years ago, the freshman "Melo" led the team to win the championship in one fell swoop, and is famous all over the United States!

Today, ten years later, under his gaze, his juniors will once again attack the champion!
After the pre-match warm-up, Zhou Si and his teammates returned to their own half, and the scene entered the pre-match opening ceremony.

When Zhou Si's name was called, the cheers from the fans on the east side were deafening!
Cough cough, although Zhou Si occasionally paddles water to make soy sauce, but he can't bear to be shocked as soon as he makes a move!
Zhou Si smiled and waved to the fans.

Then Zhou Si noticed that the player with dreadlocks on the opposite side seemed to be glaring at him.

That look seemed to say:
"Look at you!"

The smiling expression on Zhou Si's face remained unchanged, but his eyes narrowed slightly.

Ok?
……

The game officially begins as the referee throws the basketball into the sky.

Rodney and Southerland's jump ball, Southerland easily dialed the basketball to their half court, and Syracuse University went first.

Michael Carter-Williams crosses the half with the ball.

Seeing this scene, some information about this tall point guard with an awesome name instantly appeared in Zhou Si's mind.

Zhou Si can't remember exactly how many picks McAway was selected, but Zhou Si still has a little impression of his first game in his career.

Because of the magical data that was enough to rival the legend, McAway directly shocked the entire league.

In that scene against the defending champion Heat, McAway scored a quasi-quadruple-double of 22 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists, and 9 steals like a god!
After the game, even James, who has always been calm, said he was shocked!

Back to the game, McAway organized at the top of the arc, and the other four covered and moved.

Zhou Si followed Phil, who had glared at him before the game, and did not let him go.

Terry Burke on the other side ran out of space, and after receiving the ball, he took a mid-range shot and scored directly regardless of Ye Ze's interference a little later!

2: 0!

Syracuse University set the record first!

The fans cheered constantly!

Anthony threw a punch too.

"Ye's defense is really... tsk tsk..."

Kenny Smith ignored Barkley's disgusted expression and said, "Let's see how the Skywalkers handle this offense!"

Before the game, Reggie Miller had already analyzed the strength of the two teams in detail.

The Skywalker team's offense mainly relied on Ye Ze's output and Zhou Si's random outburst.

Syracuse University's scoring king Phil averaged 14.3 points per game, but they still had three players averaging double figures per game.

Obviously this is a team attacking team.

This season, Syracuse University averaged 70.8 points per game, ranking only 90th in the entire first-tier league, but their average conceded score was 53.1 points per game, the second in the league, second only to the talented North Carolina!

Single-round defense, they are the best in the United States!
So how the Skywalkers broke the zone defense has become one of the biggest highlights of this game!
