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

After the NBA regular season meeting.

The next day

In the Ncaa March Madness tournament, the lower half of the quarterfinals of the Elite Tournament featured two highly anticipated matches in each quarterfinal.

09 NBA Draft prospect Blake Griffin leads his team to challenge the prestigious Kentucky Wildcats!

Despite their reputation, the Kentucky Wildcats' roster quality this year, compared to Griffin, can only be described as average.

Griffin lived up to expectations by leading his team to victory against the Kentucky Wildcats, and his popularity began to rise to its peak.

The calls for the University of Oklahoma to win the championship with Griffin as the sole star player are growing louder!

If Griffin successfully leads his team to victory as the sole star, he will also secure the top pick in the 09 draft class.

Another match

Davidson College, with Ye Chu and Stephen Curry, faced Arizona State University, led by James Harden and Jordan Hill.

It is clear

The current Harden + Hill combination is completely incomparable to Ye Chu + Curry.

Although Arizona State University head coach Herb Sandek's tactical adjustments remain sharp.

However, from the outside perspective...

Arizona State University's season may come to an end here!

"We're not here to watch our opponents advance!"

of course

Even though everyone thinks Arizona State University is just a top 8 team this season.

Except for James Harden!

After a season of intense training, this former All-American high school player...

Standing in front of Davidson College, he adopted a very tough stance: "I've heard that Davidson College hasn't lost a game this season so far."

"We don't mind being the first team to make them taste defeat!"

"Of course, we'll be the last one this season!"

People do not frivolously despise young people.

What's more, this is a superstar like James Harden who knows the rules of basketball by heart.

The world doesn't think Arizona State University will win.

Public opinion is also entirely focused on saying:

Davidson College will easily defeat Arizona State University and advance to the Elite Four semifinals.

"It looks like today's match is destined to be a good show!"

The basketball court on the Davidson College campus.

A commentator from TNT TV on the sidelines analyzed: "James Harden and Ye Chu have always been strong contenders for Rookie of the Year."

With DeMar DeRozan already eliminated, the Rookie of the Year award will basically be a choice between James Harden and Ye Chu!

Before the start of this season.

The battle for the All-American Rookie of the Year award was originally a showcase between DeMar DeRozan, James Harden, and Jrue Holiday.

But as the season progressed...

Ye Chu's appearance completely changed the original tripartite balance of power.

Jrue Holiday's departure.

This makes DeRozan, Harden, and Ye Chu a new three-way rivalry.

Entering the Ncaa playoffs.

DeMar DeRozan had a poor performance in the Round of 16.

In that match, Ye Chu not only dominated the opponent on both offense and defense, but also led the team to advance to the quarterfinals of the Elite Tournament.

This head-to-head victory essentially disqualified DeRozan from the Rookie of the Year race.

The original three-way balance of power instantly turned into a 1v1 showdown between Ye Chu and Harden.

Obviously

Who will win this game?

Judging from the team's performance, whoever has the biggest advantage in becoming my Rookie of the Year is the team with the best chance of winning.

So

From a certain perspective.

It's understandable that James Harden was so highly motivated before the game.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time James Harden and Ye Chu have faced off!"

"The two teams did not meet during the tour."

"We can look forward to seeing if James Harden will be the first Arizona State student to advance to the Final Four!"

"Or will Ye Chu and Stephen Curry's Davidson College continue their meteoric rise?"

Arizona State University's advancement to the Final Four means that James Harden is a shoo-in for the Rookie of the Year award.

Davidson College wins.

With the University of Oklahoma already having advanced to the semifinals of the Elite Tournament.

Davidson College will face the University of Oklahoma in the Final Four.

Ye Chu vs. Blake Griffin!

So

Regardless of which side wins today's match, it will generate a lot of buzz!

For the two commentators on the sidelines, it was a win-win situation.

After both teams finished their pre-match warm-ups, the starting lineups of both teams took to the field!

Both teams have fairly simple rosters.

They are: Ye Chu, Curry, and three utility players!

Harden, Hill, and three utility players!

"You're the one who eliminated my good brother Demar?"

On the field

Harden brushed past Ye Chu: "His elimination, I will repay you today!"

"I hope your skills are as tough as your mouth!"

Ye Chu, however, was not intimidated at all.

In the jump ball, Davidson's starting center Johnson defeated Jordan Hill and tipped the ball to Curry first.

And under the watchful eyes of the entire stadium, Davidson College's blitzkrieg once again arrived, with Ye Chu receiving a long pass from Curry's quarterback and easily scoring a touchdown!

However, Arizona State University is not a defensive team; they are offensive powerhouses!

Looking back

Arizona State University's point guard dribbled the ball past half-court and, facing Curry's tight defense, immediately passed the ball to Harden on the left side of the three-point line.

"Oh!"

James Harden got the ball, faked out three threats, and then took a three-pointer from beyond the arc, sinking it!

Having learned from DeRozan's experience, Harden was also smart and avoided matching up against Ye Chu in the opening stages of the game.

He knew very well that going up against Ye Chu was tantamount to giving the opponent a block stat line.

He's not that stupid.

Davidson College's offensive turn!

Curry dribbled the ball quickly across half-court, executed a series of crossovers, easily shook off the defender, and rushed into the paint to meet Jordan Hill's help defense. He then spun and weaved through the air to score!

Looking back

Jordan Hill received a pass from Harden near the free-throw line and immediately looked up to shoot a mid-range jumper!

After the game started, Ye Chu, Harden, and Curry all showcased their talents on the offensive end.

Next up was Jordan Hill's solo performance!

"Oh!"

Unfortunately, it's not Hill's time to shine now!

Showtime still belongs to Ye Chu.

Hill takes a mid-range jump shot!

Ye Chu, who came over to cover from the flank, was swatted away with a huge block!

"coming!"

"Ye Chu's defensive prowess!"

"What a pity! If Jordan Hill had chosen to attack the paint instead of taking a jump shot, we might have seen Ye Chu deliver another spectacular block on the defensive end!"

"This is all Jordan Hill's fault!"

The two commentators on the sidelines, because I didn't get to see Ye Chu's block, directly blamed Hill for it.

Hill was in extreme pain!

They were blocked themselves, and now they're being made to take the blame?!

This is outrageous! Is there no law at all?!
