The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 49 Chapter 49

After the second day of the game against Syracuse University, Zhou Si came to the basketball hall early.

Before pushing open the door, Zhou Si had already heard the sound of "boom" "boom" and "boom" coming from the arena.

When he opened the door, Zhou Si found that Xiao Pan was doing shooting practice alone.

"Morning Brother Xiao."

As if hearing Zhou Si's door opening, Xiao Pan took the initiative to greet Zhou Si.

"Morning, didn't the coach tell us to come at eight o'clock? It's only seven o'clock now?"

Xiao Pan glanced at Zhou Si, and then explained casually, "I usually get up at six o'clock for training, but I'm at home."

Zhou Si showed a suddenly realized expression, it turned out to be like this.

Xiao Pan was very indifferent to Zhou Si's appearance, he had heard Zhou Si's title of "training madman" for a long time.

If he hadn't been so crazy in training, he wouldn't have been so strong in the competition!

The corners of Xiao Pan's mouth twitched when he thought of the distraught eyes of Syracuse University players, cheerleaders and fans who thought they could reverse yesterday.

I really don't understand why Zhou Siming has the ability to end the game in an instant, but why he has to wait for the critical moment before exerting his strength.

Is it really like the physical restrictions mentioned by the media after the game or is it just to obey the coach's arrangement?

For this teammate who was always smiling, Xiao Pan found that he really couldn't understand his depth.

"Stoudemire, do you know what the coach asked us to do this morning?"

Facing Xiao Pan's question, Zhou Si froze for a moment, then touched his head and smiled,

"I don't know that either."

Xiao Pan showed a trace of helplessness on his face, the coach still likes to play with mystery so much!
At eight o'clock, Coach Nelson opened the door of the basketball hall on time.

"Hey, you are all here, let's start then."

……

After eliminating Syracuse University, the Skywalkers, who entered the elite eight, met their old friend Indiana University again, and they will compete for the Eastern Conference championship.

Before the game, the media and the fans naturally had another round of scolding on the Internet. Because of Zhou Si's existence, the NCAA, which Chinese fans didn't pay much attention to, is now paying a lot of attention.

"Ao Zuo, Ao Zuo, do you think Gunslinger will win today?"

Looking at the expectant eyes of the friends, Ao Zuo, who is a die-hard fan of Zhou Si, was full of confidence in his eyes, and said:

"I will definitely win!"

"But just now the CCTV host said that tonight's opponent, Indiana University, is also very strong!"

Ao Zuo thought about what the CCTV host said just now:
"The No. [-] spot in the United States, the top two power forwards, Indiana University is the strongest opponent the Skywalkers have encountered so far!"

"It's okay, Zhou Si has already won them in the opening match."

Ao Zuoyun said calmly.

"However, Indiana University's top scorer didn't play in that game~ and the Skywalker team didn't seem to win a few points. Once he played, then..."

Ao Zuo was a little bit crazy, and he couldn't help shouting loudly:

"Nayou, you're never finished! Which side are you from?!"

Little Fatty Nayou muttered in a low voice with aggrieved face under the gaze of everyone:

"Of course I hope God Zhou wins, but..."

"To shut up!!!"

……

In the stands, Lin Zhengwen, who was frowning while flipping through domestic news reports, looked out of place among the fanatical fans.

"This is the hope of treating Zhou Si as a Chinese basketball..."

"Is that bad?"

Wang Youqing asked a little strangely.

"Good, good, but have they thought about the pressure this put on Zhou Si?
So much exposure, unprecedented coverage of the NCAA, and a lot of coverage.

I'm afraid it will affect Zhou Si's state! "

Wang Youqing nodded, is this because she is afraid that her younger brother will be frightened?

Thinking of the red university gymnasium where smiles have almost completely disappeared in the past two days, Wang Youqing also frowned.

It seems that those young people are really under a lot of pressure!

The Skywalker team, which has won 36 consecutive victories so far this season, has attracted the attention of the American media and is well-known throughout the United States, and the players have also been praised infinitely.

Even freshman Hall, who was the backup, was praised by the media and accepted various interviews.

But do they have what it takes to match it?
Wang Youqing knew very well that they didn't have any. If they lost today, not only Zhou Si and Ye Ze's draft picks might drop, but the others would almost certainly be ignored.

Really think of heaven and hell!
This is probably why the pressure has been written on their faces recently.

As for Zhou Si?

Wang Youqing couldn't help thinking of a conversation between Uncle Zhou and Zhou Si last night.

……

"Stress? What stress?"

Zhou Yi looked at Zhou Si with a puzzled expression and explained:
"It's just that almost all the media in the United States are discussing you these days, saying that you beat Indiana University last time because Oladipo was not there.

Now that Oladipo is back, it will be difficult for you to win this game again! "

"Hey, no one mentioned that I beat him in the streetball game?"

Zhou Yi let out a sigh of relief: "Yes, but the media took it lightly, saying that NCAA games are different from streetball, and Oladipo's offense has also improved."

"Is that so?"

Seeing Zhou Si's indifferent expression, Zhou Yi continued:
"The media also analyzed that the team that advances among you will face the University of Kansas, the champion of the Western Conference.

That's why I called you over to see if you're stressed. "

"The next round is the University of Kansas?
It doesn't matter, anyway, my goal is the championship!
Also, don't worry, Dad, I'm not stressed. "

Looking at Zhou Si who was still smiling as usual, Zhou Yi also heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's fine if you don't.

By the way, boy, your mother said that tomorrow, relatives will go to the house to watch your game live together. "

"OK, Got it……

What?Dad, is it true or not?Mom wants to watch my game live? "

Seeing his startled son Zhou Yi, his face became serious again.

"What are you making such a fuss about?"

"Dad, I'm under pressure now..."

"Go away, brat!"

……

"Don't worry, Uncle Lin, Zhou Si is fine."

"how do you know?"

"Hey, I just know."

……

"Sister, don't be too busy, go sit and watch TV, I'll pour the tea."

Looking at her younger sister who took the water bottle from her hand, Zhou Si's mother smiled.

"Well, I'm going to sit down first."

"Come on, sister Jing, please sit down, you are all big star mothers, just leave these things to us!"

"That's right, we're here to cheer on Stoudemire, not to burden you."

Looking at the relatives who were chattering, Zhou Si's mother said with a smile:
"That kid is not a big star, he just happens to know how to play."

At this moment, Zhou Si's mother's WeChat "video call" sounded.

After Zhou Si's mother clicked to accept, she saw Zhou Si appearing on the screen of the mobile phone, with the locker in the dressing room behind her.

"Hey, Mom, is the TV on?"
