Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 36: 8 wins and 4 opponents, Marquette University Golden Eagles!
"Congratulations to Wake Forest University for reaching the Elite 8. The last time it was done was under the leadership of Duncan.

Qin, you continued to start this game and got a double-double performance of 20+11. In addition to the previous games where you started, you have performed well. Visually judging the next draft prediction list, you can be airborne. To a first-round pick.

Qin, would you skip the next three years of college, unlike your senior Tim Duncan, and take your talents to the NBA? "

After the game, reporters blocked Tan Yang in a corner and asked questions.

"why not?
Senior Duncan has his own life, and I, Tan Yang, also have my own choices.

And some opponents have already given me blessings and told me to go play in the NBA.

If there are no greater challenges in the NCAA, I will bring my talent to the NBA for a better ceiling in the future. "

With sincerity on his face, Tan Yang gave his answer.

"Do you have a favorite team?" the reporter continued to ask.

"Who else do you want to play on a team with?"

Tan Yang nodded and said seriously: "As a defender, my idol must be Jordan."

"Oh, so you want to go to the Wizards?" the reporter asked in surprise.

Tan Yang shook his head: "No, Jordan is about to retire, and my idol has become Iverson. His performance in 01 was unique!"

"So, you want to bring your talent to the 76ers, play with Iverson, and pass the ball for him!!" the reporter asked excitedly.

"Do not!

One ball is only enough for Iverson to hit alone. I want to go to a team that needs me. "

After Qin Yang shook his head in denial, he revealed the mystery and said: "I want to play with Dayao and pass the ball to him.

You can't imagine what it would be like to play on a team with a 2-meter giant?

It’s exciting just thinking about it! ! "

"Oh, it turns out you want to join the Rockets and form a "Qingming" team with Yao Ming!"

"..."

Tan, who can be read as Qin, is similar to Qing. Playing with Yao Ming is really called the "Qingming Combination". You are such a fucking talent.

Tan Yang was confused by the question, as if he heard the question from his soul, "Can't I love him again if I leave him?" He couldn't think of another title for a while, so he could only stop worrying about it.

“The premise is that I can really be selected, which will be difficult.

Therefore, my goal is just to be selected by the team, and I can accept it wherever I go.

If it's the Rockets, that's even better. The Qingming combination is the Qingming combination. Everything is possible in the future. Let the bullets fly a little longer. "

After Tan Yang continued to reply, the conversation suddenly changed. "In addition, Wake Forest University has reached the top 8, and I want to focus on the next game, so please stop asking questions about the NBA!"

"The Marquette University Golden Eagles also upset the No. 4 seed Arizona Wildcats and met the Wake Forest University Demon Deacons in the Midwestern Regional Finals to determine the spot in the Final Four.

德怀恩韦德在16晋8对战亚利桑那大学，贡献25分11助攻8篮板准三双的表现。

What do you think of the player Dwyane Wade?
What will you say to him when you meet him in the next game? "

"Oh, I might say, good luck to him!"

"..."

Shouldn't I say, I will beat you to pieces?
Good luck to you, too weak, no future!
"..."

The reporters all rolled their eyes.

……

"call--!"

Tan Yang escaped from the reporters' attacks and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

“Sure enough, I’m still not good at dealing with interviews with reporters.

However, there is no way to provoke a fight between me and Wade..."

Wade is a ruthless man!
When I was in college, I started a family on a soft diet. In order to better have children, I got injured during my sophomore year, but I had part of the meniscus removed from my left knee just to speed up my recovery so that I could play basketball, perform well, and make a name for myself. In order to enter the NBA league and make money.

What are you trying to do by provoking such a self-motivated person?
You said that in your next life, you will drink the strongest wine, sleep with the most beautiful girls, and fuck the hardest people?
The first two options are fine, but is the third option likely to be seeking death?
There is no need to be so crazy. Wade is a top support player. He is a top second player who can lower his historical ranking by winning two more championships. He is one of the must-have candidates for brother basketball in the future.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether we play brother basketball or not, the main thing is Wade's style of play, which is very suitable for the twilight version of Kidd.

"Reverse growth progress bar: 79. (11/12 season template)"

Tan Yang returned to the hotel booked by the team, scanned the system information, and shook his head.

"The progress bar actually increases by 5?

Is this the strength of the University of Kentucky?
Maybe, maybe, maybe the opponent Gerald Fitch is too good, which lowered his rating?

I hope that the Marquette University Golden Eagles led by Wade can bring more expectations, but can Wake Forest University defeat its opponents?
never mind……"

Anyway, what he is now, Tan Yang, is really all due to his own efforts. Compared with such a three-point five-point truth, it really doesn't mean much.

Thinking of this, Tan Yang began to look through Marquette University's player information.

Now that we have reached the top 8, there is no possibility of losing the game.

Wade, Travis Diener and Steve Novak will all enter the NBA in the future. Marquette University's lineup is even more luxurious than Wake Forest University's lineup.

However, Tan Yang still couldn't understand it.

How did the Marquette Golden Eagles defeat the Arizona Wildcats?

You know, the University of Arizona, as the No. 4 seed in the tournament, has Walton, Iguodala, Channing Frye, Salim Stoudemire and Jason Gardner in the team.

Iguodala, Walton and Frye, we won’t mention them.

Salim Stoudemire?

This person is the cousin of "Little Flying Squirrel" Damon Stoudemire. Both of them are point guards known for their long-range shooting.

In particular, Salim Stoudemire is famous for his three-pointers. In his college career, he averaged 50.4% of his three-pointers per game, which is more accurate than fellow alumnus Steve Kerr. He will be drafted in 05. , was selected with the first pick in the second round. He has great strength and potential.

As for Jason Gardner, he did not enter the NBA in the future, but he was a former All-American high school second-team defender and was regarded by the University of Arizona as the existence of Mike Bibby II.

Mike Bibby led the University of Arizona to the NCAA championship in 97, and Jason Gardner also led the team to the next championship. Among them, the talented Will Bynum couldn't compete with Jason Gardner for a position, so he transferred to Georgia Tech.

It can be said that these five people are all fierce, right?

Otherwise, how could Arizona University be the No. 5 seed in the tournament, only to be eliminated by the No. 16 seed Marquette University.

Novak is only a first-year player and can't compare to Channing Frye.

Diener is at most as good as Jason Gardner.

How terrifying does Wade have to be to fill the gap in the lineup?

Facing such an opponent, Tan Yang felt a little excited.

……

Two days later, Texas, Aerospace Center.

On March 3, in the Midwest Region finals, the No. 20 seed Wake Forest University Demon Deacons and the No. 5 seed Marquette University Golden Eagles met.

Marquette University has a richer family than Wake Forest University. It won the NCAA championship in 1977, has entered the Final Four twice, and has reached the NCAA tournament for 11 consecutive years.

However, Marquette University is getting better and better, and it should be able to compete for the worst NCAA championship team.

In the 25 years since winning the championship, we have only made it to the top 16 twice. Many of them were kicked home in the first round, and even more often, they didn't even get a spot to participate in the crazy three.

The most famous superstar at Marquette University is currently Doc Rivers, the legendary head coach who led the Green Army's Big Three of Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen to win a championship.

Well, he is the legendary head coach who has created the most reverses in the playoffs.

No, this was 03. At this time, Rivers had not yet been reversed. He just refused Duncan's small request and made it impossible for the Magic to form the Big Three of Duncan, McGrady and Hill.

As McGrady said, he has already considered his next opponent this season, which means that the gears of fate have not yet turned!

In the future, Wade will replace Rivers and become the biggest star produced by Marquette University.

Then, the future JB Butler also came out of this.

To say that the university Wade attended was ordinary, it was indeed extraordinary.

Marquette University's starting five are center Scott Merritt, power forward Steve Novak, small forward Wade, shooting guard Travis Diener, and point guard Cord Henry.

Wake Forest's starting five are center Rick Williams, power forward Chris Ellis, small forward Josh Howard, shooting guard Justin Gray, and point guard Qin Yang.

The game started.

In the center of the arena, Rick Williams and Novak jump ball.

Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high into the air. Rick Williams beat Novak and got the ball for Wake Forest University's first attack.

Qin Yang controlled the ball and advanced forward, with Deco Henry guarding him.

Wade followed Josh Howard.

Diener is facing Justin Gray.

"The super backcourt formed by Wade and Diener is very capable offensively.

But Marquette University's defense is not good. Next, let's see how Wake Forest University attacks?

Is it a one-on-one duel between Wade and Josh Howard, who are both close in the draft?

It's better for Tan Yang to do it on his own.

Oh, controlling the ball in the frontcourt, Tan Yang chose to break through.

He went in, and he went in recklessly with his body. Cod Henry has outstanding offensive talent, but his physical talent is mediocre, he can't withstand it, he can't withstand it at all..."

Hong Kong Zhen, Diener and Cord enjoyed the advantage. This pair of short backcourts was a double-leaky combination in the backcourt. It was still more leaky than the double-leaky pair of Curry and Ellis in the future.

Tan may have just enough speed, but he can rely on his strong body to run rampant like James and reach the paint area.

Scott Merritt, who is 2 meters tall, came from the left to help defend. As soon as his footsteps moved, Rick Williams was already cutting to the basket, leaping high, receiving Tan Yang's casual flick, and it was an alley-oop, with both hands. basket.

Bang-dang——!
Rick Williams hung his entire body on the basket and ate the cake made by Tan Yang, giving Wake Forest University the lead.

2 to 0! !
Outside the court, in the NBC commentary room, Brooke Jerry shook his head after watching it.

“There was a time when the Golden Eagles’ playing tradition was defense, defense, defense!
Who would have thought that now this Golden Eagles team has thrown away tradition and played offensive basketball.

Coupled with the fact that the cornerstone of the team has changed from inside to outside, the Golden Eagles simply cannot defend..."

Off the court, Marquette head coach Tom Crean looked calm.

Winning is the tradition of the Golden Eagles.

Instead of the so-called defense and inside line, as long as the offensive firepower is more brave than Wake Forest University, there is no need to worry about losing points on defense.

On the court, Cord Henry controlled the ball to the frontcourt. Facing Tan Yang's pressing, he immediately distributed the ball to Wade.

At the same time, Novak immediately moved to the high post and provided Wade with a pick-and-roll screen.

"Josh Howard was blocked, Wade accelerated with the ball, he went in, he flew up in the penalty area, he quickly finished the attack and completed a one-handed dunk..."

Bang-dang——!
too fast!
After passing Novak's screen and getting rid of Josh Howard's pressing defense, Wade pressed the accelerator button and rushed to the penalty area like lightning.

Wake Forest University's entire defense seemed to be still for a second. By the time the players under the basket reacted, Wade had already reached the penalty area and jumped high, and then, it was a natural goal.

In the NCAA arena, talent can really do whatever it wants.

Wade's body was so explosive that he broke through with the ball. Wenjiu defeated Wake Forest University and easily scored two points.

2 to 2! !
Tan Yang shook his head after looking at it.

This speed is inhuman!

Off the court, Skip Prosser had a solemn look on his face.

As long as Josh Howard is blocked, the players on the Wake Forest University court can't prevent Wade from driving the ball to the basket.

It’s so hard!
