NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

Green's first-round game between Michigan State and New Mexico State, like Memphis, will be played at the Veterans Memorial Arena in Spokane, Washington.

只不过密歇根和新墨西哥的比赛是19号晚上07:30，而孟菲斯和马里兰的比赛是之后的晚上09:30。

So the two teams happened to be on vacation at the same nightclub, and what's more, they even fell in love with the same girl!

Li Kaiming was a little speechless, how could he meet his peers when he went to a nightclub?And this colleague may be their opponent in the next round!

Before the fight started, the smell of gunpowder was already permeating from the nightclub...

In the team training in the morning, except for Li Kaiming, everyone else seemed to lose their souls. They either made shots or made all kinds of bizarre mistakes. What was even more exaggerated was Elliott Williams. This guy was fighting in groups When he got the ball, he mistook the basket the moment he got the ball, and after a flashy run across the court, he smashed the ball into his own basket with a bang!

Seeing the sluggish state of these guys, Pastner on the sidelines blew his beard and stared angrily, regretting giving these guys a chance to indulge last night.

Fortunately, this is just an internal training match, winning or losing doesn't matter.

After the training was over, Pastner caught Williams and others and scolded them all over the face. The outrageous words made Li Kaiming who was watching the play couldn't help but turn his head away...

The coach scolded for more than ten minutes without repeating words...

After March Madness, the exposure and reports of the media have obviously increased a lot. As soon as Li Kaiming came out of the gymnasium, some reporters who were squatting outside, like a dog that had been hungry for a week and asked about the fishy smell, immediately pounced on him. They huddled together, the microphones sticking out wanting to poke the lungs of the Tigers.

"Li, this year is your first time representing the University of Memphis in a national championship. What is your goal?"

Li Kaiming said without hesitation, "National Champion!"

"So what do you think about the University of Maryland, your opponent in the next game?"

Li Kaiming stopped, glanced at the reporter who asked the question, and said with a slight smile, "The University of Maryland is a very good opponent."

"Is that all?" The reporter asked again unwillingly.

Li Kaiming replied, "Of course, a very good opponent, very suitable as a stepping stone for us to enter the top 32."

reporter:……

This interview soon appeared on the headlines of the local sports media in Washington, and caused an uproar on the Internet!

A large number of netizens also expressed their views on this.

"This guy won't know his last name after a few good games!"

"Haha, young man! It's normal to be arrogant, but this year's University of Maryland players will teach him to be a man."

"I can't wait to see the press conference after Memphis lost..."

……

Of course, there are also supporters of Li Kaiming who are online with black fans, and their comments have also received a lot of likes.

"He has this strength, what's wrong with the truth?"

"I think those guys above are just jealous of my elder brother Kaiming. It's also true that there are not many people in the world who are as handsome and good at playing as him."

"The smell was collected upstairs, and the water dripped onto my head..."

Of course, the media will not let the players of the University of Maryland go, especially when Li Kaiming said such arrogant words, the reaction of Maryland has certainly aroused people's great curiosity.

Everyone wanted to see how Maryland would respond to the provocation of the big man in Memphis.

Especially last season, Maryland lost to Memphis in the second round. The combination of old and new grudges made this game already whet everyone's appetite before it even started.

Not long after, Maryland’s response also came. Their team’s core, No. 21 starting guard Greivis Vazquez also released harsh words on behalf of the team:

Talking nonsense is useless, and the real chapter will be seen on the court on March 3, when Maryland will be shamed!

This short and powerful response filled the firewood for the game that had not yet started, and made tens of thousands of people turn their attention to Washington. The tickets for March 3 were also sold out in an instant!

There was even a market for this game on a gray website, and a large amount of money poured in the moment the market opened.

In ESPN's latest secret ballot, the popularity of Memphis against the University of Maryland also overtook the games between unlv and Northern Iowa in just one day, becoming the most eye-catching match in the first round of March Madness The presence.

The stage has been set, and it's time for the actors to perform on stage!

-

March 3 at 19:09 p.m. American time, Veterans Memorial Arena, Spokane, Washington.

The stadium with more than 1 seats was full of seats, and the bright arena was full of noisy voices. The fiery cheerleaders danced to the rhythm of the DJ, adding a touch of beautiful scenery to the upcoming game.

The live broadcast of the CBS Sports Channel has been set up, and the scouts of dozens of nba teams are also ready in the positions with the best view. On the big screen of the arena, the starting lineups of both sides are presented at the top.

University of Memphis Tigers: Point guard Willie Kemp, shooting guard Elliott Williams, small forward Daniel Mack, power forward Wesley Weatherspoon, center Kaiming Lee.

Maryland Terrapins: point guard Sean Mosley, shooting guard Graves Vazquez, small forward Landon Milburn, power forward Elsin Levante, center Jordan Williams.

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!

Not surprisingly, Li Kaiming took the lead, jumping the ball and beating the opposite center, a man with Jordan in his name.

The University of Maryland seemed to have made sufficient preparations in advance. After the jump ball failed, all players returned to the defense immediately, leaving Memphis with no possibility of a fast break.

Courtside University of Maryland coach Gary Williams looked confident with his arms wrapped around his chest.

And Pastner in Memphis is not a vegetarian. The Tigers were uncharacteristically. After Kemp dribbled the ball for halftime, he handed the ball to Williams, and then Li Kaiming and Weatherburns stepped forward to give Williams Pick and roll.

Under the cover of two sturdy men over two meters tall, Vazquez, who was defending Williams, only felt that it was getting dark in an instant, and Williams easily got an open shot, and he immediately took off Shot, the basketball flew steadily into the basket.

"Memphis went first, and Williams made a successful mid-range shot! It seems that Memphis has changed its strategy and shifted the team's offensive focus to the outside!" The on-site commentary was experienced, and immediately began to analyze the situation on the field into the microphone.

Pastner, who was on the sidelines, smiled when he heard it, "Think I've changed my strategy? That's good, just in case you think I haven't changed!"

It turned out that the strategy formulated before the game turned out to be to use Williams as a bait to guide the opponent's defensive center of gravity to the outside line, and then Li Kaiming, the actual core of the offense, suddenly exerted force and caught the opponent by surprise!
