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

Chapter 30: Curry: Nobody wants to beat LeBron James more than me!

May 1, US time

The first match of the Ncaa semifinals has begun!

The University of Memphis defeated Georgetown University by a huge margin of 15 points in the Final Four in Phoenix.

Tyreke Evans continues to unleash his talent.

The University of Memphis has returned to the NCAA finals stage after a two-year absence!

"Our goal has always been the championship!"

Evans, who led his team to the final, was very excited after the game: "Before the season started, the whole team had already set season goals."

"For us, winning the championship now is just a matter of the last victory."

"No matter who we face in the final."

"Blake Griffin and his University of Oklahoma."

"It's still Davidson College, led by Ye Chu and Curry."

"No matter who stands in our way, they will only ever be supporting characters!"

Evans' face beamed with undisguised joy.

The moment he advanced to the finals, Evans felt that he and the University of Memphis were invincible.

"We seem to have forgotten about the existence of the University of Memphis!"

During the evening ESPN panel discussion, several basketball experts discussed news related to the NCAA:

"The young man from China has been performing too explosively this season, attracting all the attention from the outside world."

"Stephen from Davidson College is another super rookie that NBA teams are eyeing."

"The emergence of these two talented players has made us forget about the existence of the University of Memphis!"

"Perhaps... the University of Memphis, who made it to the finals first tonight, has a better chance of winning the championship!"

Just as several experts have said.

This season, due to Ye Chu's sudden emergence, almost all media outlets have focused their attention on this young man from China.

In addition, Stephen Curry himself already has a huge following.

Almost everyone thinks so.

Davidson winning the final championship is a foregone conclusion.

After the University of Memphis defeated Georgetown University by a large margin today.

People only then suddenly realized.

The University of Memphis appears to have the advantage in terms of roster depth and tactical coordination.

Tyreke Evans is the absolute core of this team.

Starting point guard Beverley and shooting guard Matthews are also star players.

Even their bench has players from teams with NBA draft class potential.

This is why Evans doesn't have the same star power as Ye Chu, Curry, or Blake Griffin.

otherwise...

Given the nature of the American media, the University of Memphis has long been touted as a top contender for the championship!

of course

It's not too late to start bragging now.

After today's battle, the name of the University of Memphis will definitely no longer be overlooked.

"However, let's leave the topic of the University of Memphis here."

Even if experts no longer want to ignore the existence of the University of Memphis.

However, the hottest topic right now is still the semifinals in the lower half of the bracket.

"Tomorrow's match between Davidson College and the University of Oklahoma may be the most watched game in this year's NCAA tournament!"

"Yes, the elimination of James Harden, DeMar DeRozan, and Thabeet has made the race for the 09 draft's number one pick clearer."

The final battle for the top scorer title!

Who is more deserving of this title?

We'll know after one battle!

May 2, US time

After the University of Memphis took the lead in advancing to the 2009 NCAA finals.

The semifinals of the other half of the bracket have officially begun.

Because of the importance attached to this match.

Espn, in conjunction with NCAA and the NBA, broadcast the semifinals of the All-Star Game live.

They have applied to move the semifinals from North Carolina to Los Angeles.

And it's also the home stadium of the NFL team, the Los Angeles Rams—SoFi Stadium!

The rugby stadium, which can hold 90,000 spectators, was already packed!

Half an hour before the start of the match.

The Davidson College fans and the University of Oklahoma fans who entered the stadium engaged in a fierce battle for the global audience in advance.

The noise in the stadium grew louder and louder; young people were not going to follow the rules of civilized spectating.

Everyone vented their excitement, and the shouts of "Fuck!" grew louder and louder.

"Without a doubt, Los Angeles tonight will be the focus of the entire nation's attention!"

At the scene, the commentator from ESPN started the show by shouting at the top of his lungs.

There was no way around it; there were just too many fans at the stadium.

If he doesn't raise his voice a bit, the commentator's voice will soon be drowned out by the fans' shouts of "fuck!"

"Kobe, you didn't get this kind of treatment when you were young, did you?"

Next to the commentator, Michael Jordan, a special guest for the game, joked in his distinctive voice, "Oh, look at my brain, I almost forgot you've never played in the NCAA league!"

While speaking, Jordan made a point of showing off his North Carolina jersey to the camera.

His meaning was quite simple:

My brother was once a player who led his team to win the NCAA league championship.

What are you doing getting involved in the NBA draft when you're just a kid who participated in the NBA draft in high school?

"That is indeed a regret in my career!"

Kobe laughed and picked up where Jordan left off: "To be honest, Davidson College really deserves this level of treatment now!"

Do you think so too?

"Let me tell you, I was lucky enough to watch a Davidson College game live, you wouldn't believe it..."

The ESPN commentators wanted to add more to the discussion.

But Jordan and Kobe's back-and-forth singing turned the pre-game hype into a eulogy session for Davidson College, or rather, for Ye Chu and Stephen Curry.

As for the University of Oklahoma and Blake Griffin?

Excuse me!

We're really not that familiar!

During the praise session for Jordan and Kobe, the fans in the arena became restless.

As the sideline cameras focused, Heat star Dwyane Wade and his teammate Mike Beasley arrived at the stadium.

A little while

The cheers from the fans at the stadium reached their peak.

LeBron James, the Cleveland Cavaliers' star player and the league's rising star, also appeared in the stands with his signature smile.

"Dwynn, you're here too!"

As James waved to the fans, he sat down next to Wade and asked, "Which team are you supporting today?"

"I have high hopes for Davidson College!"

Wade didn't think twice: "I regret not supporting them before!"

"I'm here to support Davidson College too!"

James still had a smile on his face: "I have a strong feeling that the young man from China will soon become a formidable opponent for us!"

Upon hearing James's words, Wade laughed and did not continue the conversation.

Because he knows.

If they continue talking, their secret is likely to be exposed.

As for what the secret is?

I know everything!

"Ye, did you see that?!"

"That's LeBron James sitting there!"

Meanwhile, Stephen Curry, who was warming up on the court, excitedly said to Ye Chu beside him, "I didn't expect him to come to watch us play."

As a man born in the same hospital as James, he was more excited than anyone else to have James present today.

"You seem so happy, why don't you join Cleveland?"

Ye Chu didn't even glance at the difference and continued his warm-up shooting.

"Although James and I were born in the same hospital, I don't like him!"

Ye Chu was diligently practicing his shooting when Curry made a surprising remark: "Actually, I've been thinking about how to beat him all along!!"
