NBA: The King of Basketball, the more haters I have, the stronger I become!

Chapter 17: Jordan's arrival marks the official start of March Madness!

After resolving the conflict between Beff and the two women

Ye Chu received an invitation from Curry on Christmas Day to spend the holiday at his home.

Besides the usual eating and drinking, Ye Chu also watched this year's NBA Christmas Day game with Curry—Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers!

The "yellow-green battle" will never lack topics.

In the 2008 NBA Finals, the Celtics defeated the Lakers 4-2 to lift the Larry O'Brien Trophy, their first in 22 years. This was also the ninth time in Celtics history that they had defeated the Lakers in the Finals.

Kobe also left behind that classic quote after the Finals:

The second place winner is the biggest loser.

The NBA has also cleverly scheduled a "Lakers vs. Celtics" game on Christmas Day this season!

Before this game, the Boston Celtics had a record of 27 wins and 2 losses and had recently achieved a 19-game winning streak.

The two teams were evenly matched in the first quarter, with the home team Lakers leading the Celtics by only one point, 25-24.

As a result, in the second quarter, the situation on the court suddenly became one-sided.

The Celtics outscored the Lakers 28-18 in the quarter, winning by 10 points.

But when the game ended in the second half, the situation changed dramatically.

The Los Angeles Lakers scored an astonishing 38 points in a single quarter, outscoring the Celtics by a margin of 15 points in that quarter.

Final quarter decisive moment

Ultimately, thanks to the performances of Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol, the Lakers, playing at home, defeated the Celtics 92-83, winning the Christmas Day game of the season.

Full match

科比23投13中砍下27分9篮板5助攻,加索尔14中7拿下20分3篮板5助攻3盖帽。

凯尔特人这边仅三巨头得分上双,加内特22分9篮板、皮尔斯20分10篮板。雷阿伦14分。

Worth mentioning:

This game also marked Phil Jackson's 1000th victory in his coaching career.

He is the sixth coach to reach 1,000 wins, following Lenny Wilkens, Pat Riley, Donnie Nelson, Larry Brown, and Jerry Sloan.

Using the Lakers' arch-rival as the backdrop for a thousand wins adds to the Zen Master's legendary status.

"Wonderful, really wonderful!"

After watching the Christmas Day game, Curry was filled with emotion.

The NBA will always be the ultimate goal for all basketball enthusiasts.

There is no doubt about this!

"Ye, tell the truth!"

"After this season ends, I will go directly into the NBA draft and enter the NBA!"

Curry was also candid, chatting with Ye Chu about future plans: "What about you? Will you join the NBA right after this season ends?"

"If we can win the final championship, then I will also participate in the draft!"

Ye Chu also spoke frankly: "I have said many times in front of the media that I must win the championship!"

Keeping one's word has always been Ye Chu's style!

"Win the championship?"

"I never even dared to imagine this before you joined Davidson College!"

Curry took a bite of popcorn: "But now, I have absolute confidence!"

"now it's right!"

Ye Chu also took a handful of popcorn.

to be frank

Before today, Ye Chu never thought popcorn was anything special.

But since following Curry, he has gradually discovered that popcorn is an essential thing!

With Christmas over, the Ncaa Tour phase is also nearing its end.

After defeating two tough opponents—the University of Kansas and the University of Connecticut.

Davidson Academy took over at the end of the final tournament, continuing their winning streak.

With an undefeated 24-match winning streak on the tour, they marched into March Madness as the No. 1 seed in the regular season!

During the tour

Stephen Curry averages 24.5 points, 9.5 assists, and 2.1 steals per game.

He ranks fourth in points, first in assists, and first in steals on the tour.

叶初则是场均贡献30.3分、8.5篮板、7.5次助攻、1.5次抢断、1.5次封盖的数据。

His scoring is the highest in the entire league.

Not only that

His average of 30.3 points per game is also the highest in the history of the NCAA Tour.

On the NCAA Alliance official homepage

Ye Chu's performance in his freshman season was officially recognized as the most outstanding freshman performance in NCAA history.

Before the start of March Madness, the NCAA officially awarded Ye Chu the Tour's Most Valuable Player award!

He also became the first Chinese player in Ncaa history to receive this honor!

Time flies...

May 14, US time

The most important tournament in American college basketball—the NCAA Tournament—has officially begun!

Davidson College, the top seed on the tour

Their first opponent in the Round of 64 is the University of North Carolina, also from North Carolina.

Tour Stage

Davidson College has twice swept their opponents, and won by a total of 58 points in those two games against the University of North Carolina!

58 .....

What an amazing number.

If Pao Ge were here, he would definitely miss him very much.

For Davidson College, defeating them in the knockout stage and securing a winning start is almost a certainty.

But this match, which should have been completely uninteresting, became the focus of media hype.

because

In the history of the University of North Carolina, there has been a player who was at the level of an NBA GOAT.

His name is Michael Jordan!

As the most undisputed number one player in NBA history, Jordan is not only a legend of the Chicago Bulls.

He is also a legendary alumnus of the University of North Carolina.

This legendary figure came to North Carolina and to the basketball court at Davidson College.

As for why he would personally attend a match where the outcome was a foregone conclusion?

"Don't overthink it, I'm just an ordinary fan today!"

In a pre-game interview, Michael Jordan stated directly, "I know what you want to ask!"

"Whether it's Ye Chu from China or Stephen Curry, they are both top-five picks!"

"But the Chicago Bulls already selected a great young player last year, and now their goal is the playoffs!"

Jordan's meaning is quite simple!

The Chicago Bulls selected Derrick Rose with the first overall pick last year, and their goal this season is to make a run for the playoffs.

Teams that are capable of making a run for the playoffs will definitely not have a high number of draft picks.

In contrast, both Ye Chu and Curry were top-five draft picks and highly touted rookies.

Especially Ye Chu!

He is currently the hottest rising star in the NCAA league.

Are you expecting the Chicago Bulls to add a natural talent?

This number is just too outrageous!

Jordan truly lives up to his reputation as a seasoned veteran.

His words immediately dispelled the media's idea of ​​digging deeper into the topic.

It is indeed impossible to acquire Ye Chu and Curry through the draft alone.

But what if we initiate a transaction?

Apart from Derrick Rose, the Chicago Bulls currently have no players who are not for sale; they are all available for trade.

That's right!

Jordan came today specifically for Ye Chu and Curry!

He was eager to see just how spectacular a performance these two Davidson College stars could put on!

What the media at the scene were unaware of was...

In an inconspicuous corner of the stadium.

The Clippers' general manager is quietly watching Ye Chu and Curry...
