God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 134 The Sad Duke

Harmon soon found out who Chang Wei was betting on, and she murmured, "Chang, aren't you betting on Michigan State University to win... isn't it a bit too reckless? In fact, Duke University is still very strong. ..."

Chang Wei deliberately teased her and said, "Who kept telling me that Michigan would win? I just felt that it made sense, so I bet $1000 on Michigan State University, and after all, Duke will win us. The culprit who was eliminated from the championship, I am sure and will not bet on them to win, you can rest assured!"

Seeing Chang Wei's upright face, Harmon couldn't laugh or cry, but before she could speak, Chang Wei returned to his serious look, and whispered, "Actually, the Michigan State victory has nothing to do with your instigation. My own reasons. However, I am not sure whether Duke can win, so I only bet $1000 to make a point, and the big head is still on Connecticut. At least Connecticut I am 100% sure that they can win this game.”

After Chang Weihao gave an explanation, Harmon accepted his statement, and started arranging the itinerary enthusiastically.But for Chang Wei, there is really nothing interesting in St. Petersburg, and the so-called local specialties are also very mediocre. It's better to recharge your batteries in the hotel and wait to watch the next day's game!After all, the two semifinals were held on the same day. Connecticut VS Ohio State started at 5 pm. After watching the game and eating, Duke VS Michigan State started at 8 pm.

After a day of shopping in the street, the two spent the whole morning sleeping in the hotel room to get enough energy for the afternoon and evening games.Whether it's Connecticut or Ohio State, Harmon doesn't feel much about them, he just went to watch the excitement, but Chang Wei has some problems with Connecticut, to be precise, Villanova has problems with them, the first two seasons If it weren't for their repeated defeats at the feet of Villanova, it would be impossible for Hamilton not to participate in the draft now.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Chang Wei and Harmon went out in casual attire. They both felt that there was no need to pretend to be fans of Connecticut or Ohio State University. They just went to watch the game quietly.

In the first half, the two sides unexpectedly drew and Connecticut only led 36 to 35 by 1 point. This made Chang Wei a little nervous. He was afraid that his reborn wings would overturn Connecticut. Wouldn’t it be $2000 in that case? In vain?Fortunately, Connecticut was very strong in the second half. Hamilton took the lead and led his teammates to score consecutively.But Ohio State did not show any weakness. Although their number one star Payne didn't feel good, another person stood up and confronted Hamilton.

When the player's information appeared on the big screen, Chang Wei couldn't help opening his mouth: I'll go, Michael Reid!Later, the head of the Bucks was also a well-known shooter in the league. Although this guy had a very low pick in his previous life (the 2000rd overall pick in the second round in 43), he was also a top scorer with an average of 25+ points per game in his peak period. Unexpectedly He actually came out of Ohio State.

However, the seasoned Hamilton was even better, and his mid-range shots were almost flawless, helping Connecticut to suppress his opponent.In the end, Connecticut defeated Ohio State 64-58 as Chang Wei expected. Hamilton scored 17 points and 10 rebounds on 24 of 5 shots, which was undoubtedly the best in the game.

After eating something casually, Chang Wei and Harmon returned to the court to watch Duke's game against Michigan State.In fact, it is reasonable to say that Duke's lineup is much stronger than that of Michigan State University. The latter team has only two players averaging double figures this season, which is in stark contrast to Duke.This is one of the reasons why Chang Wei didn't dare to bet too much on Michigan State University. Duke has someone who can explode into a small universe, but Michigan State University doesn't.

But Chang Wei soon saw the impact of his rebirth. Less than 5 minutes into the game, a Duke player lay on the ground after a successful layup and didn't get up for a long time.Chang Wei's position was a bit far from the court, so he couldn't see who was injured, but the replay was quickly shown on the big screen.Seeing the back number of the injured player, Chang Wei couldn't help but mourn for Old K for 3 minutes. The injured was actually the team's top scorer and starting point guard Langton.

Seeing Langton being carried into the player tunnel on a stretcher by the medical staff, Chang Wei knew that he must be seriously injured, and the camera was well timed to the frowning old K on the sidelines. It seemed that he also played for the team Bad luck bothered me.Originally, Chang Wei thought that he would feel very happy. After all, Duke was stepping on the corpse of Colorado State University. But now his heart is heavy, and he feels sad that Old K will have to wait two more seasons to win the championship.

No, maybe they won't be able to win the championship in the past few seasons. When Duke won the championship in the 2000-01 season in the previous life, Battier became the biggest winner. Best Player, Best Defensive Player, Naismith Award and John Wooden Award, it can be said that Battier is the soul of that Duke.But now that he has flourished in the NBA, whether Duke can win the 2000-01 season is still a question.

Although Duke's thick bench means that old K is still available, Langton's injury and departure undoubtedly greatly affected the morale of the team. Michigan State University took the opportunity to play a wave of scoring climax to open the score and win 35-28 Ended the first half.Such a result undoubtedly excited the Michigan State fans who came to watch the game. Almost the entire arena was filled with their singing. At least in this respect, they overwhelmed the Duke fans.

In the second half, Old K continued to dispatch troops, and finally narrowed the point difference to 5 points.Unexpectedly, Michigan State's backup forward Maurice Peterson (the 2000st pick in the first round in his previous life in 21) hit consecutive three-pointers from the corner, which directly stopped Duke's offense.In fact, not only the old K, but all the players in the Duke team are holding back their energy and want to reach the finals, but without the most important commander, they will only fight on their own, and then they will be defeated one by one.

When the final whistle sounded, Harmon couldn't help but look at Chang Wei beside him. Duke lost to Michigan State 58-65. Does this mean this guy made the right bet?Harmon couldn't suppress her curiosity at all, and she asked, "How do you know Duke will lose? And judging from their performance, if Langton hadn't been injured, they would have won."

Chang Wei smiled and whispered softly in her ear, "This is a secret."
