Chapter 97 Elgin's Regret
On March 3th, when all the people were watching the March Madness game.

A few photos captured the attention of all the populace!
The Federation's popular singer, Elvis Presley, put on a military uniform!
"Presley puts on his military uniform, prepares to lay down his guitar and carry a gun to join the army"

As soon as the news came out, it immediately became a hot topic.

The report pointed out that——

On March 1958, 3, Elvis Presley, the popular federal singer, reported to the No. 24 Local Recruitment Bureau in Memphis, Tennessee this morning.

Trade your swing dance laurels for a uniform and become Union Army soldier 53310761.

The 23-year-old singer has risen to the top of recording program and movie stardom.

Accompanied by his parents and supervisor, Colonel Tom Parker, he arrived at the garrison camp at 6:35 in the drizzling rain, surrounded by a crowd of journalists, photographers and teenage admirers.

The admirers are distraught over the imminent loss of the pop icon, who will be serving in the military for the next two years.

During this period, Pressley's monthly salary dropped from more than 10 federal dollars to 83.20 federal dollars.

But the singer, who has sold more than 4000 million records in the past two years and has just finished filming his fourth film, is not short of it.

Elvis looked unperturbed, saying: "I'm looking forward to serving in the military and I think it will be a great experience for me."

Many newspapers bad-mouthed him. They felt that Elvis Presley would definitely be abandoned by the federal topic center after his military service, and he would live up to his current popularity.

Peyton read this report, but knew that after serving in the military, Elvis Presley's image in the eyes of middle-aged and elderly men will undergo a huge change, and his influence will soon be even greater.

……

Seattle Sports Center.

More than 2 seats were empty, the east side of the scene was white, and the west side was blue. Countless spectators were wearing paint on their faces and holding up signs.

Here, next, will host the NCAA Finals!
"Chiefs!"

"Elgin, come on!"

"Seattle, come on!"

"Kill those wild cats!"

"we are the champion!"

The other party did not dare to show weakness.

"Kentucky Wildcats!"

"Chikel!"

"champion!"

"champion!"

Although it is the opponent's home court, the fans of the Kentucky Wildcats are not weak at all.

In the front row, Payton, Forrest Gump, Jenny, Joanna, and many members of the basketball team gathered together, and many bodyguards were scattered around, watching all the changes around them.

Joanna sighed a little: "What a crazy atmosphere!"

Jenny also covered her mouth, her eyes full of surprise.

"Forrest, will there be so many people watching after you play?"

Forrest held Jenny's hand and nodded seriously: "Yes."

"Boss, do you think which side will win?" Grant said excitedly.

Peyton shook his head, how did he know?

One side is a well-known Kentucky Wildcats, and the other is the Seattle Chiefs with superstars, who can say for sure?

Superstars don't necessarily win, if you don't believe me, look at Zhang Dashuai!

Last year was a clear example.

"It must be the Chiefs, they have Elgin!" Joanna said firmly, and looked at Payton again: "What do you think, Payton?"

Peyton glanced at her, smiled, and didn't say much.

Elgin?
Who is this?
Full name: Elgin Baylor, the most tragic superstar, the biggest loser in the NBA, in 13 years, eight finals, all lost.

He and Jerry West, the Lakers backcourt double guns, can be called a cursed representative.

After retiring, he and Jordan's visions are even more tied for oolong and phoenix, making the Clippers compete for the lottery every year.

But now, everything has not started yet.

Elgin is indeed a genius of heaven, with explosive talent, leading the unknown Seattle University all the way to the finals, becoming the biggest surprise of the year.

The sportswriters of the Washington Post exaggerated his hype even more.

——“Baylor is the most amazing shooter in the NBA. His vision is wide, his shooting style is unpredictable, he can shoot from any angle and any way in the air. Now, I always hear people talk about the previous All kinds of wonderful, but I haven't seen anyone who can match his excellence"

——"He will be the master of basketball. His super talent has endowed him with super scoring ability. Dunk is one of them. He is a flying man!"

——"Baylor is the most pleasing sharp shooter in the history of basketball. He is a forward player with excellent scoring and rebounding ability. The moves around the basket are powerful and elegant."

——"Baylor can throw the ball into the basket from any angle, and the ball is always spinning at a high speed. His strength is very strong, and he can play 1 with Russell at the basket; Can pass the ball like West, and can compete with any guard in the NBA in dribbling skills."

Well, these exaggerated words, people who don’t know, simply think this is Jordan + Magician + Bird
In fact, Payton is very clear that all this is just because Baylor was born in Washington, DC. As a rare super talent in his hometown, they, the hometown media, must take the lead in blowing up.

Payton is also very curious about his performance today. He has never paid attention to Elgin's college career and does not know whether he is a winner in college.

Absolute winners like Russell and absolute losers like Chamberlain must be in the minority.

For example, Tim Duncan, he finished four years of college, and the NCAA has never been perfect, but it does not prevent him from becoming a winner in the NBA.

For example, Patrick Ewing once led Georgetown and dominated the NCAA, but the NBA has no championship in his life, leaving only the names of the four major centers.

Perhaps Elgin will become the absolute master of the NCAA today, maybe!

The game is about to start!
Elgin Baylor stood in the center of the crowd and shouted: "Today, the stadium is full of people, we must win this victory!"

"we are the champion!"

"on!"

……

Swish!
The last ball falls into the basket.

Lore!

The Wildcats in blue autumn clothes huddled together, and everyone was celebrating wildly with smiles on their faces.

Their coach also joined them.

Baylor was half-kneeling on the court in a daze, the towel covered his face, sweat stained his autumn clothes, and tears were falling down his cheeks.

"Losing!"

"we lose!"

His teammates surrounded him, comforting him.

The audience did not boo, they witnessed this game, and Baylor really tried his best.

37 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists.

Total score 74 to 76
You can't expect more from him.

When his teammates were struggling, he hit the basket again and again, put the damn ball in, and that's it, his team and the Wildcats dragged it to the last moment.

At the last moment, the opponent's coach boldly chose three people to double-team Baylor, and the center pulled out to attract attention, allowing the power forward to complete the final shot.

The throw overwhelmed Baylor's full-court effort.

Shattered the Chiefs' dream of a championship.
