The door of the room opened, and Wang Xiaohui, who was drenched all over, came back from outside.

"Ha~~~"

Justin Davis stretched out comfortably under the quilt, and opened his sleepy eyes.

"Wang, why did you come back so early?"

"Uh, the coach just notified that because of the hail today, the power supply system and air conditioning system of the arena were damaged, so the game was postponed."

"That is to say, you don't have to compete today, you don't have to get up early for training, and you can continue to rest?"

"Yes, that's right! You should sleep well."

"Oh hoo", Justin shrank back into the bed again.

And Wang Xiaohui took a shower and was about to go out again.

"Wang, where are you going?"

"Dating, Minneapolis is such a great place. You can meet beautiful girls if you go for a run in the morning. We made an appointment to see the movie "April [-]st Sky" together. You want to go together ?"

Fuck it!Going to be a light bulb for you?
"I'm not interested in movies with this theme. Also, Wang, you can go. Just pretend I didn't ask anything."

"Then I'm really leaving?"

"Go now. My little heart needs quiet."

boom!
The door is closed.

It's cold!

Why is the world so unfair?Why can't you send me a girlfriend?
Justin didn't think about anything, and went straight to sleep.

But, after a while,

Click!

The door is opened again!
Snapped!
"Ouch! Who the hell... Uh, coach, why are you here?"

Assistant coach Johnny Dawkins' already dark face looked even darker at the moment.

"Justin, didn't you say to gather at [-]:[-] a.m. yesterday? Why are you still sleeping?"

"Didn't it mean that there was a hailstorm today, the arena was smashed down, the game was postponed, and the assembly time was changed?"

"You bastard, just make it up. Let me see what kind of flower you make up for April Fool's Day?!"

April Fool's Day?
Justin was suddenly dumbfounded!
He realized the seriousness of the problem!
What "The Sky of April [-]st" oh, that's a ghost!
"Whoa, coach, I was cheated by Wang, you have to help me uphold justice!"

.

"+30 anger value!"

In the stands of the arena, the corners of Wang Xiaohui's mouth rose slightly.

Beside him, the belated Justin had a flat mouth.

"Wang, a meal of Chinese food can't heal my wounded heart."

"Two meals!"

"make a deal!"

Justin smiled all of a sudden, "Wang, you are really my best brother!"

Whoever has milk is a mother!Justin is such a snob.However, it is also very pure.He's a really nice person.

The arena slowly became more crowded.

After the players from both sides entered the field, the atmosphere became hotter all of a sudden.

The exciting dance of the cheerleading team and the heart-piercing shouts of the cheering group brought the atmosphere of the semi-finals to the first Xiao Gaochao.

"Is this the NCAA Final Four broadcast live across the United States?"

Seeing the Duke and Michigan players getting ready on the field, Wang Xiaohui's hands were itchy at the moment.

This arena is like magic, and people can't help but want to show their skills on it.

"Wang, that bastard is looking at you."

Following Justin's line of sight, Wang Xiaohui saw a dark player.

That was Jay Williams who had spoken so much before.

As the best first-team player in the United States in recent years, he does have crazy capital, which Wang Xiaohui admits.

However, Wang Xiaohui just couldn't understand that this guy in his previous life kept comparing himself with Yao in the draft.

Is that comparable?Absolutely not!
That guy hooked his hands from a distance, meaning: Come here.

Wang Xiaohui gave applause from a distance: I have already sat down, monkey, please start your performance.

Finally, Jay Williams turned around victoriously, ready to show off his muscles.

...

beep!
With a whistle, the first NCAA semifinal game started.

Sure enough, it did not exceed the pre-match predictions of the commentator Mafu Albert.

As soon as it came up, the two sides played very well.

Michigan was last year's champion, they're good at defense, everyone plays really tough.

They did a lot of homework before the game, and they strictly guarded Jay Williams at the beginning.

Sure enough, the effect is very obvious.

Steal the ball, steal the ball, steal the ball again!
Spring-legged Jason Richardson opened the game with several wonderful fast-break dunks, which directly detonated the scene.

Wang Xiaohui couldn't help but want to bump into him.

If it can hit it, at least a pair of spring legs will fall off, right?

Michigan got off to a good start, capitalizing on Jay Williams' impatience to open things up early.

It's just that they can only play well at the beginning.

After 3 minutes, Battier stood up.

First it was a three-pointer with a sudden shot, and then it was a fake shot and a real sudden shot, ending with an easy dunk!

Duke's offensive was up in an instant.

Not only that, on the defensive end, Battier directly blocked Richardson's goal, and also assisted in blocking Hutson's must-go goal.

The situation turned around in an instant.

Jay Williams, who had been turned off, suddenly revived!

He is the best at playing downwind games, and he started to cut melons and vegetables to score points.

Michigan failed to hold up in the first half, trailing by as much as 15 points early.

In the second half, they changed sides to fight again, and Michigan resisted a little in the first 3 minutes.

However, after Shane Battier took out Richardson's ball again, the situation couldn't be turned around at all.

Bang Bang Bang~
Michigan star players Jason Richardson, Hutson and others all turned into blacksmiths.

The trend is over!

87-64!

There was no suspense in the game, and Duke won the final victory.

For Michigan, Hutson scored the most points with 10 points; Richardson only scored 6 points, which is terrible.

Michigan, which has always been known for its defense and toughness, suffered a big loss here in Duke.

As for Duke University, Shane Battier scored 12 of 6 and scored 25 points. Not only that, he also perfectly limited the performance of Richardson and Hutson on the defensive end;

Jay Williams was full of performance in this game, but he only scored 23 of 7 and scored 23 points.

With the joint efforts of the two, Duke easily defeated the defending champion Michigan by 23 points and entered the finals again as it wished.

This is what everyone hopes for.

After the game, the reporter approached Jay Williams again and mentioned another matchup and a certain young player who made a statement for Stanford.

"Jie, Wang said that he only knows Sean, but not you. Do you have anything to say to him?"

Jay Williams subconsciously looked for someone in the stands, so he had already escaped?

He was about to say something when he covered it with a hand from behind, "Ugh~"

Sean Battier, according to the coach, held back this troublesome kid.

"Ahem. During the game, we don't accept interviews. However, I can answer your question just now.

Both Stanford and Arizona are very good opponents, and both teams are very likely to reach the finals.

However, if we really meet Stanford in the finals, we will definitely give a gift to international friends from China. "

"What was the meeting like?"

"You'll know then."

Be polite, but the momentum of the team cannot be lost either.

Shane Battier is a qualified captain.

Backstage, Jay Williams was glum.

Today, he did score a lot, but the media criticized him even more.

Occupying the ball, but the scoring efficiency is a mess, it is a waste.

It took more than 20 shots and only scored 23 points, which is really not very good.

Looking at Battier's efficiency, Williams has a grudge against someone who is not telling the truth.

"When the time comes, I will definitely want you to look good."

Originally, Jay Williams was not optimistic about Stanford, but now he has begun to support Stanford again.

There's nothing quite like beating an opponent yourself.

"Jay, what's wrong with you?"

"Sean, it's okay, thank you just now, otherwise I will be scolded by the coach for saying something wrong."

"nonono, buddy, actually I don't think there is anything wrong with what you said. You are showing confidence. This is an absolute trust in our own team. Now those people are holding on to their pigtails. Wait until we really If we win the championship, then we will be right in everything we say. At that time, we will be able to slap them in the face."

"Well, Sean, you think clearly."
