Chapter 18 The runaway white fat man
"Yesterday, the Indiana University Mountains lost to the Butler University Bulldogs who came to challenge and missed the semi-finals of the Championship. Mountains star player DJ White performed poorly, making only 4 shots in the game, only 10 points. Bulldogs small forward Li Rong made a substitute and scored 6 three-pointers, scoring the team's highest 18 points. In addition, the team's scoring guard Mike Green scored 16 points. The two of them have outstanding performances as the main contributor to Butler University's winning. They will play against Notre Dame basketball in the next tournament. This game will determine which team will go to New York to participate in the final quarter-finals this time." - "Indiana Star"
"The seed team was out in an upset, but Butler beat his opponent 22 points", Yahoo Sports also reported on the previous game, but there were only a few dozen words of text messages.
Anyway, the Bulldogs' performance in the last game surprised many people, especially the Indians who are paying attention to local basketball. They could not think of how the Mountaineer lost to this elementary school with less than 4,000 people.
Li Rong didn't know that his name had been in the newspaper. After returning to the apartment that day, he closed the door and counted the gains of the game.
There are two achievement packages placed in the system space, and I choose to open it with a familiar choice.
"Congratulations to the host for opening the achievement gift package and receiving the lottery card *10, and the junior physical strength card *1."
"Congratulations to the host for opening the achievement gift package and receiving the lottery card *10, and the junior physical strength card *1."
The two system prompts are exactly the same, both are lottery cards and useless primary physical recovery cards.
He was thinking about whether there was a purple card like the last lottery, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.
The last time was originally an achievement in front of the historical force Larry Bird, and the achievements made in this game were relatively far behind.
Start the lottery.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the foodie card."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the foodie card."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the foodie card."
...
Li Rong is now completely numb to this prompt message, so continue to smoke!
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the foodie card."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Speed Potential Pill."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the foodie card."
...
In this game, we won a total of 25 lottery cards and were quickly consumed. Apart from 23 foodie cards, there were only two pills, one increasing the speed and the other increasing the explosive power.
After choosing and using it all, Li Rong has been training with the team for the next few days to prepare for the match against Notre Dame.
Notre Dame is a team that is unique in the NCAA. It is not affiliated with any university league, but is an independent team outside of all first-tier leagues.
At that time, Our Lady was rejected by the Grand Ten because it was a church school. Later, after the rise of television broadcasts, they signed a broadcast contract with NBC as an independent team, and this contract was greater than the amount distributed to him in other games, so they have been in an independent state.
However, Notre Dame has been playing against teams in other leagues over the years, and it is often invited by the NCAA committee to participate in the championships.
In the 1980s, Notre Dame also produced two-time NBA All-Star players like Kelly Tripka.
It is said that the league has been negotiating with Notre Dame over the years, hoping that this school will join its own competition area, which shows that they are still a very capable team.
Before the game started, head coach Matthew announced the team's starting list, and Li Rong is still not listed.
Stevens next to him shrugged at him helplessly, indicating that he had no choice. He always advocated that Li Rong enter the starting lineup, especially in the last game, Li Rong performed very well, but unfortunately Matthew's approach was a bit too conservative.
The Bulldogs' home court is not big, and the fans are far less crazy than the Mountaineer in the last game, but they are also very enthusiastic.
"plum!"
Before the game started, Li Rong heard someone calling his name in the audience. He looked back curiously and saw that it was Peter who asked him for his autograph in the last game. Unexpectedly, he really came, and he was wearing the training shirt signed by Li Rong.
Peter walked through several rows of seats with difficulty and came behind the Bulldog bench: "I didn't buy the tickets behind the bench, but I'll let you know that I'll cheer you up."
Li Rong was moved at this moment, but he liked this cute little fat man who said he would do his best. He nodded and expressed his gratitude to the other party.
After chatting with Li Rong for a few words, Peter also tried to communicate with a couple sitting behind Li Rong, hoping to add some money to change seats with them.
Most of the people who bought tickets for this position were not short of money. The couple politely refused his request. Peter had to return to his seat helplessly, and before leaving, he shouted loudly to Li Rong.
"Our Lee has fans." Stevens said with a smile.
"I'll go, coach, don't make fun of me." Li Rong said embarrassedly.
"There will definitely be more in the future." Stevens said confidently.
After the game started, the performance of the Madonna surprised everyone on the scene. They actually played the Bulldogs 24-16 at the beginning.
Head coach Matthew's eyes were incredible. Although the outside world was not optimistic about the Bulldogs, in the eyes of his head coach, the Bulldogs definitely have the strength of a seed team.
After defeating the Indiana Mountains in the last game, many people said it was a surprise, but Matthew sneered at this statement. In his mind, the Bulldogs' strength is definitely above the Mountains. However, today, facing Notre Dame's University team, which is not as good as the Mountains, the Bulldogs suffered a big loss from the beginning.
The reason why the Bulldogs could suppress the Mountaineering game in the last game was because they had the advantage in the inside, especially Dennis almost locked down DJ White, who had the greatest advantage on the defensive end.
But Butler University's advantageous inside group in the last game has now been beaten by a fat white guy wearing a 44 jersey.
This little fat man looks less than two meters tall, but he plays as a power forward.
Dennis, who was defending him, could not withstand this monster in terms of strength, and frequently let him hit the penalty area and score.
Seeing this little fat man playing so vigorously, a name came to mind, Charles Barkley.
Back then, Barkley was also famous for his pocket-sized inside figure and vigorous playing style. It is said that few people in the NBA can defend against his back-attack, so he had to introduce a 5-second rule for back-attack.
This little fat man's style is exactly the same as Barkley.
However, Li Rong could see that his explosive power was far less than Sir Charles, and he relied more on his strong body and excellent basket skills to score frequently.
"He seems to be a newcomer to Notre Dame University this year," Li Rong said with a frown, "What's the name?"
