078 True to its name
At 7 pm on the 6th, the Ford Stadium in Detroit was filled with people.
All 80,103 seats were full. North Carolina fans were wearing blue T-shirts, sitting on the east and north sides, USC fans were wearing red T-shirts, sitting on the west and east sides, and it was very clear to see.
As the music started to sound, pictures began to appear on the large screen in the center of the stadium.
The first thing that came into the fans' sight was North Carolina's legendary passer, Michael Jordan, sitting next to him were Carter, Starkhouse, Rashid Wallace and other players. Several of them waved their hands at the same time, and North Carolina fans cheered and responded loudly.
The screen switches, and the smiling faces of Nick Young and OJ Mayo appear on the screen.
After only one second, the screen switched again. Jerry Bass, Spielberg and other famous USC alumni stood up hand in hand to greet the surroundings, and USC fans applauded and welcomed them.
The picture turned again, JAYZ and Wahlberg were posing and discussing, while LeBron shook his head frequently.
The screen then quickly switched, with Lakers general manager Kuppchek, Clippers general manager Dunleavy, Rockets general manager Morey, Mavericks boss Kuban and other NBA ball seniors appearing on the big screen in turn.
Finally, the USC Trojans are shown on the big screen against North Carolina Tar Heels.
At the same time, DJ's shouts echoed throughout the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, the players from the University of North Carolina Tar Heels are the first to be selected for the All-American Team for four consecutive years, the Wooden Award winner..."
In the north side player channel, Hansblu took the lead, and North Carolina players ran out in turn.
North Carolina fans stood up and cheered at the scene, while USC fans booed and interfered, as if they were scolding each other from a distance.
About two minutes later, the North Carolina players were introduced and DJ started to make a high profile again: "Ladies and gentlemen, the players who played next were from the Trojans at the University of Southern California, and the first one was the point guard from China..."
In the south side player channel, Li Zhe took the lead and USC players ran out one after another.
The USC fans stood up and cheered, while holding up their hands, and a huge Trojan logo appeared instantly.
North Carolina fans were compared and suddenly whimpered.
In the commentary seat, Mike Bolling said, "Good evening for all fans. Welcome to watch the live broadcast of the 2009 NCAA National Championship Finals brought to you by ESPN Sports. I am Mike Bolling, and I am the commentary with me, Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson. Let's be more direct on the opening topic. Do you think of which team? What is the reason?"
"I'm more optimistic about North Carolina because they are better than USC," Jackson said.
"I'm more optimistic about USC because Ty Lawson can't limit Jamie Lee, and Danny Green, too." Van Gundy said.
"OK, let's take a look at the comparison of the two teams' lineups..."
As soon as the words were finished, photos of the players and coaches of the two teams were displayed on the big screen.
Point guard Lee Zhe vs Lawson, point guard Hackett vs Ellington, former DeRozan vs Green, former Gibson vs Hansblu, center Vucevic vs Thompson, and coach Tim vs Roy Williams.
The pre-match ceremony began in a blink of an eye, and the USC cheerleaders and North Carolina cheerleaders stood on the court together.
The lights dimmed, and Beyoncé walked to the center of the court with a microphone, and the BGM rang slowly.
"Oh, you can see..." The fans on the scene sang in unison, and the national anthem performance ended soon.
On the Trojans' bench, fifteen players stood together, and the inside and outside formed three circles.
Li Zhe raised his right hand high, and the others responded one after another, fifteen fists met together.
"Everyone, let us play every offense and every defense!"
"Try your best to become a legend!"
"Try your best to become a legend!" Everyone shouted with Li Zhe.
The whistle sounded at the scene, and the players of the two teams came to the stage.
The referee walked to the center of the court, gestured with his left hand, and gently threw the ball up with both hands.
Vucevic jumped up, touched the ball first, and pulled it back vigorously.
Li Zhe saw the landing position, strode forward, and took it into his hand and rushed with it.
Lawson chased after him, the rest of North Carolina quickly retreated, and the rest of USC hurriedly followed up.
Li Zhe rushed to the three-point line in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the defensive formation had not yet been fully formed, he decisively accelerated again, entered the free throw line directly, held the ball with both hands, and forced a three-step layup with the defender.
Hansb retreated repeatedly, and when Li Zhe jumped, he immediately jumped up and reached out to cover the cover.
Li Zhe was not in a hurry, gliding in the air for a short time, picking the basket with his right hand to play the board.
With a bang, Hansblu hit the thug, the referee blew a foul, and the basketball rebounded into the net.
"Oye" USC fans shouted loudly, scored at the beginning and caused the opponent's main force to foul, in good form!
Li Zhe walked onto the free throw line, slapped his teammates one by one, then turned around to face the basketball and took the referee's pass.
"Wooohooohoo" North Carolina fans booed wildly.
Wherever Li Zhexing arrived, he deliberately waited for a long time and closed his eyes and scored a free throw!
Swish, the basketball is hollow into the net!
Jordan's picture appeared on the big screen on the scene, looking indifferent!
North Carolina attacked, and Lawson just got the ball, and Li Zhe posted it on.
The two fought wits and courage, one changed direction and one moved horizontally, and one turned around and the other retreated.
In 8 seconds, Lawson finally rushed to the right wing and hurriedly walked to the left with the help of Hansblu's cover.
Li Zhe walked around to avoid the cover and immediately chased behind him, but was blocked by Thompson's positioning and cover.
Hackett stepped forward to make up for defense, and Li Zhe decisively changed defense and rushed towards Ellington like a bullet.
Ellington moved horizontally to the bottom corner continuously, received Lawson's pass, and opened his hand and made a three-pointer.
Swish, the basketball is hollow into the net.
When Li Zhe heard the sound of wiping the net, he ran to the frontcourt without looking back. He rushed through the center line and turned around subconsciously. He happened to see the basketball flying towards him. Lawson was still in the backcourt and had no time to defend, but Green had already run up.
The speed was very fast, and he chased him as soon as he received the ball. Li Zhe didn't care about that much and still dribbled and sprinted.
The two of them arrived at the three-point line in the blink of an eye. Li Zhe stopped urgently and pulled the ball back, raising his hand and making a long three-pointer.
With a clang, the basketball hit the frame and USC fans cheered like thunder in the clear sky!
Wahlberg stood up suddenly and nodded at LeBron and JAYZ, as if saying: Have you seen it?
North Carolina attacked with the change of sides, Lawson took the ball and advanced, and just after halftime, Li Zhe came forward again.
Lawson immediately pressed down the center of gravity, and rushed to the top of the arc against the floor like a high-speed rotating top, but he still couldn't get rid of it.
Hansblu stepped forward to cover, and Gibson replaced the defense, but the speed was too slow to catch up.
Lawson rushed to the free throw line, stopped in the middle and made a hit!
Seeing basketball enter the net, Li Zhe turned around and ran, and Green followed along.
Although there was no chance to catch the ball, Li Zhe still rushed to the end with Green to reduce the pressure on the outside.
Hackett received the ball and quickly advanced to the top of the arc, stopped and passed the ball to the elbow area, and then directed the whole game to pull it away.
DeRozan took the ball with her back, and without waiting for Ellington to get started, he turned around and slipped into the bottom line and jumped towards Hansblu.
With a clang, the person dunked!
USC fans laughed, Hansblu picked up the basketball and stepped back to the bottom line with expressionless face.
Lawson rushed to catch the ball, Hackett couldn't catch up, and the Trojans' defensive formation was in chaos.
Li Zhe seized the opportunity to go forward to help defend, and the basketball suddenly flew to the bottom corner.
Green received the ball, no one was two meters ahead of him, and he calmly aimed at the basket and shot.
Swish, the basketball was hollowed into the net, tied 8 to 8.
Brin sighed: "The two teams are called the strongest duel, and they are indeed worthy of their reputation."
Chapter completed!
