Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 13
Durham, North Carolina.

Duke University.

A man jumped high with the ball in both hands, and when his head was about to fly above the basket, he slammed the basketball into the basket heavily, then grabbed the basket with both hands, his body was Swing in the air.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

A boy wearing a No. 31 jersey came in applauding, "Nice button, Jay."

Jay Williams turned around, looked at the applauded No. 31, wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Captain, why are you here?"

"I can't sleep. Tomorrow is the opener against the North Carolina Tar Heels. Maybe I'm excited, maybe I'm worried, so I came to the arena to practice for a while." No. 31 laughed.

"I think it should be excitement, Captain Sean." Jay Williams expressed his feelings.

No. 31 is the captain of the Duke Blue Devils, Sean Battier.

"I'm a little excited. Another year of NCAA has started, and I'm naturally looking forward to it." Sean Battier looked at the seats in the arena that can accommodate thousands of people and sighed and said with the Blue Devils jerseys : "But I'm also worried. Of course, I'm not worried about North Carolina. Although we and North Carolina are old enemies, this year's North Carolina is not enough to worry about."

"Which team was that?" Jay Williams asked.

Sean Battier frowned, and it took a long time before he said the name of the team: "Connecticut! This year's Connecticut heard that Caron Butler was recruited, which is very important for their strength. A big improvement."

Jay Williams just smiled when he heard that.

He felt that Captain Sean was too sensitive, but it was not difficult to understand. Duke had been infinitely close to the championship the year before, but unfortunately he lost to Connecticut State University in the final. This may be the eternal pain in Sean Battier's heart.

Sean Battier belongs to the golden generation of the Duke Blue Devils.

In the fall of 1997, Shane came to Duke University with Elton Brand, Williams Avery, Chris Burgess and Corey Maggette, They make up the Duke of the Golden Generation.

However, after losing to Connecticut, Brand, Avery and Maggette chose to enter the NBA.

Burgess also transferred from Duke to Utah.

Only Shane remains in the golden generation.

Battier, who is fighting alone, can only take rookies Jay Williams and Carlos Boozer to the NCAA Tournament, but they fell outside the quarterfinals last year.

"Jay, your growth is beyond my expectations. No one knows your current strength. When the league starts, you will surprise everyone." Sean Battier showed a hint of expectation on his face.

"Captain, I'm not as strong as you said." Jay Williams said embarrassedly.

"You have to trust my vision. I believe that Duke this year will definitely win the championship because of your growth." Shane Battier clenched his fists.

"Yes, we must win the championship." Jay Williams was also infected by Shane.

Shane patted Williams on the shoulder with a smile and said, "But before we get the championship, we still have to drive these nasty guys back in North Carolina."

"Is North Carolina annoying?"

"You don't understand, every Duke player will hate North Carolina. You just need to remember that we can lose, but we must not lose to North Carolina."

"Understood, Captain." Jay Williams nodded heavily.

Looking at the orange basketball in Williams' hands, Sean Battier's heart slowly boiled.

North Carolina, Connecticut, come on!

NCAA Tournament.

I, Sean Battier, here I come!

Duke Blue Devils, here we come!
……

Connecticut head coach Jim Calhoun was on the bus throwing a tantrum.

"Where did that guy Cuaron run off to?"

All the players on the bus were silent, and no one dared to make a sound.

"Forget it, leave him alone, driver, let's drive."

Calhoun looked helpless, waved his hand, and motioned the driver to drive: "I can't expect the guy who can't even come to school to be on time for the game."

Captain Albert Morin whispered: "Coach, why don't we wait for him, after all, this is our first game of the season."

"Wouldn't you be able to play without him?"

Calhoun glared at him.

Seeing that Maureen was not talking, the driver started the bus slowly, turned a corner slowly, and drove out of the University of Connecticut gate to the main road.

"Today's game Cuaron missed the bus, so we have to prepare for the absence of him in the game for a while. Let's take some energy and win our first game of the season." Calhoun said loudly. Mobilize before the game.

"Knowing the coach, it's not easy to beat a weakling like the Quinnipiac Bobcats." Some team members laughed.

Calhoun shook his head and said solemnly: "We can't take any opponent lightly. Thinking about the year we won the championship, the reason why the final winner was us was because the Duke guys were too conceited."

The car fell silent immediately.

"Do you understand?" Calhoun yelled.

"Understood, coach." The players responded in unison.

Calhoun sat down with confidence and looked out the car window, but he felt a little helpless in his heart.

The strength of this kid Cuaron is definitely the ace of this team, but maybe because of his growing environment, his style is too unrestrained. If he can't make changes, how far this team can go in the future is really true. It's hard to say.

Calhoun suddenly remembered the Gonzaga Bulldogs that Caron Butler had mentioned to him.

Especially one of the Asian players.

Originally in Calhoun's mind, how powerful an Asian player can be, but after listening to Caron Butler's description, he became a little jealous of Gonzaga's coach.

Why don't geniuses come to me?

Calhoun became more and more depressed the more he thought about it, and subconsciously glanced at the group of untalented players behind him. Without Caron Butler, he really didn't expect the team to have a good record this year.

I'm so jealous of Mark Foy.

In the University of Connecticut dormitory, Caron Butler suddenly woke up from a dream.

"Sheet, you overslept!"

"It's all to blame that guy Lu Yu for putting a lot of pressure on me."

"You shouldn't have sneaked a thousand shots yesterday."

He hurriedly dressed and put on his equipment from the dormitory and rushed downstairs. When he ran to the meeting point, the bus only left a row of brake marks for turning.

Damn!

Fortunately, the venue for the game is in the urban area, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to play in the opening game.

Thinking of this, Caron Butler couldn't help cursing.

"Coach, you fucking wait for me..."

……

Lu Yu got up early in the morning.

Lu Chaoyang had already made breakfast and was waiting for Lu Yu downstairs.

"Dad, today is my first NCAA game, will you watch it?" Lu Yu asked while eating.

Lu Chaoyang paused while holding the chopsticks, and then continued to pick up the dishes: "Let's see if the store is busy, if it's busy, I won't go."

"Then what do you mean, you will come if you are not busy?" Lu Yu said with a smile.

Lu Chaoyang rolled his eyes at him. Recently, he always felt that this son was becoming more and more insignificant: "Eat your meal."

"Oh, I know."

Lu Yu lowered his head and continued to cook.

After dinner, Lu Yu rode his small electric motorcycle to Gonzaga.

The sky was blue and clear, not a single cloud.

Lu Yu took time to look at the system panel.

Water Breathing 50%, Flame Breathing 14%, Thunder Breathing 7%...

That's right,

After this period of training, the Breath of Fire has increased by 1%, reaching a progress of 14%.

Now both the water breathing method and the fire breathing method have found suitable training methods.

There is still the breath of thunder.

"Won't you really let me touch the wires?"

Lu Yu shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore. After all, today was his first NCAA game, so he still had to devote all his energy to it.

Autumn is full of November.

NCAA,
