On March 30, the first game of the Elite Eight will be held in Chicago. The opening game of 8 to 4 will be led by the University of Southern California. Many fans think they are already a little aesthetically exhausted, but the high ratings represent the majority of public opinion. The University of Southern California's game is the highest rating in any round, so there is a reason for the league to arrange this way.

At the pre-match press conference, a Chinese reporter asked Wu Huang that he was only 19 years old. Will he play in NCAA for another year before logging into NBA?

"No, I know very well my goal to play in NCAA. Everything is to lay the foundation for entering NCAA. If I had not achieved such results this year, I might have chosen to play for another year. NBA would not teach me basic skills. But now you have seen that we have been winning streaks, and I really can't feel too many challenges in NCAA, so I won't stay for another year."

Emperor Wu said this very arrogantly. When the arrogant side of his personality takes the initiative, he is more like an American.

Of course, even many Americans don’t feel comfortable listening to his words, but just like he said, even if he stays in NCAA, Wu Huang can only make his personal data more abnormal. Apart from that, there is no other meaning.

In today's game, Christine did not come to watch the game, and Wu's parents did not come either. In addition to the two tickets given to Taylor Swift and Emma Roberts, as well as his agent Brandon Moretz, Wu still had one ticket left, and he finally threw it on the auction website for $400.

"Did you see that there were four police cars leading the way for us tonight, with military and police riding horses on both sides. This is the first time I have enjoyed such a high-standard treatment." Bart discussed the scene on the road with his teammates in the locker room before the game. Their bus was several streets away from the stadium. Today, there were patrol officers responsible for isolation. This big scene was exciting.

"Don't be too excited. When it comes to the semi-finals, the whole city will give way for our game. From the beginning of the hotel, there will be police cars leading the way for us. At that time, even the mayor's car will give way for us." Wu Huang checked his sneakers. This pair of zoomkobe 4 was given to him by Kobe a few days ago, and it is also the main signature shoes that Kobe wore this year. The technology it uses represents the highest peak in Nike sneakers technology.

Wu Huang likes these sneakers very much. It is really comfortable to wear, and it can even make Wu Huang rush to sprint at full speed immediately.

Kobe suddenly gave him sneakers, and Wu Huang naturally understood that this should be Nike's instructor behind him. It can be seen as a kind of show of kindness, or Nike's demonstration of his own strength. Perhaps they will soon raise the offer again. This is Nike's cleverness.

Emperor Wu does have a better impression of Nike, but Adidas is also very sincere, while UA wants to crush the two giants in front of him to death in terms of money. Although I don’t know where they got the confidence, there is no doubt that this is a value and recognition of Emperor Wu, so UA’s sincerity also makes Emperor Wu very satisfied.

"It's like choosing a girl. Three thousand pinks have their own advantages. I can't bear to give up any of them, so why can't I have both fish and bear's paw?" Emperor Wu was very confused in his heart. However, sneakers are dead, and people live, so he should be able to find a way to catch them all in one go.

The University of Southern California knows its opponents very well and the intelligence department has collected a lot of accurate information in advance.

Louisville University is a team with extraordinary physical talent and a high-level mid-range shot. It is not uncommon to be able to reach the Elite Eight.

Among them, the core of senior year Terrence Williams is a physically swaying man with strong defense and confrontation. At the same time, Earl Clark, Samardo Samuels and Terrence Jennings are all fierce players in various positions. This team often performs crazy and exciting flying dunks. It can be said that the impact of Louisville University is the strongest opponents that the University of Southern California has ever encountered.

"Our first task today is to guard the basket well. We cannot let them hit our basket at will. Although their mid- and long shots in the scout report are above the level, compared to the threats they hit the basket, I would rather let them shoot from the outside." Floyd has already set the tone for today's game, and they must strictly prevent the penalty area and mid-range.

"Also, since their shooting is average, there will be a lot of rebounds in this game, so 'rebound' is the second key to our victory today." Floyd glanced at Wu Huang and smiled: "Today, the defender wants to help the team grab rebounds. First, we must defend our backcourt rebounds. If you have the chance, you must also grab the opponent's frontcourt rebounds. As long as you complete these two tasks, we will be invincible. Do you have confidence?"

Wu Huang and his teammates expressed their determination to complete the team's task of competing for rebounds and would grab defensive rebounds and offensive rebounds together.

"Okay, come out and kill them now. The Elite Eight is not our end!" Floyd waved his hand, and the players shouted loudly in the locker room immediately rang out!

The United Center Arena is known as the largest gym in the United States, and can accommodate 21,879 spectators during basketball games. The University of Southern California uses the Bulls' home locker room today, which was protested by the University of Louisville.

Generally speaking, the two teams in this game will use the visiting team locker room and the preparatory locker room, but neither will use the home team locker room to show fairness. However, the University of Southern California has obviously received better treatment today, which is not fair to the University of Louisville.

The excuse of the on-site staff was that there was a problem with the bathing system in the visiting team's locker room today, so the University of Southern California temporarily used the home team's locker room.

Of course, the University of Louisville would not believe such an excuse, but they had no choice. This must be the Bulls deliberately showing goodwill to the players of the University of Southern California. Although they are far away from Wu Huang, they are very close to DeRozan and Gibson. And to show good things to players like Wu Huang, there are always benefits but no harm. The United States also talks about human nature.

After Wu Huang appeared, he looked up and found that there were about 3,000 USC fans coming from afar on the east stands, and the two girls were in the front row of the crowd. This time he saw the target at a glance.

Today, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith of TNT Radio explained the game. Big Butt said before the game: "USC has been winning. But I think coach Floyd lacks the means to train substitutes. The Trojans only need to remove any of the five starting players, and they can only beat the opponent by 35 points every 100 rounds. Especially Hugo, when he is on the court, the team can score 116 points per 100 rounds, and if he is not on the court, he is 102 points. This is completely the gap between the top and mid- and lower-level teams in the league."

Kenny Smith smiled: "I think this is normal. USC is suffering from Hugo dependence now. UC is completely two teams with him and without him. But I think more than 300 teams in the A League must have thought of this disease. He is an expert in turning the defeat of UC, with leadership, shooting key balls, operating the team, professionalism, paying attention to details, and bringing many other attributes to this team. I finally described him very simply, he is a winner."

Before the game started, Wu Huang hugged the players from the University of Louisville one by one on the court. He was not very familiar with today's opponents. The main players from the University of Louisville were either third and fourth graders or rookies, and these people had no interaction or contact with him.

However, he agreed with Floyd's prudence before the game. These third and fourth grade students with average technical talent but outstanding physical talent have been tempered by three or four years of college. At this time, they are no less technically inferior to those first and second grade geniuses, but their bodies are better and have rich experience, so they have stronger practical skills.

The NBA team will naturally feel that these players are not as strong as Wu Huang and others in terms of potential, so they will not be given priority in the draft. After all, these people have been playing for three or four years before they can catch up with the freshman who has just been released.

But in NCAA, a mature senior student is indeed more likely to achieve grades than first-year geniuses.

Five starters at the University of Louisville: Edga Sosa, Terrence Williams, Earl Clark, Terrence Jennings, and Samardo Samuels.

The opponents that USC has encountered in the past are not as good as themselves in physical talent. Today is the first time they have encountered a team that can surpass themselves physically.

Except for point guard Edgar Sosa who does not praise his physical fitness, the other four are jumping men in their respective positions. Earl Clark and Williams are considered to be one of the five best physical fitness players among this rookie.

In this case, both sides want to use their areas of expertise to give their opponent a Thunder blow at the beginning, so as to win the first move in this game and at the same time to hit the opponent's morale.

The University of Louisville easily won the opening game, and Samardo Samuels' bounce and coordination were very good. This type of player is an inside player who looks quite star-like. They make moves very coordinated. Therefore, in a college league that lacks good inside, many teams can often fool them into thinking that they have the potential to become stars.

USC used 212 positions for the first time to defend, while Gibson was responsible for the center support. Barnard and Bart were at two low posts and consciously let go of the two bottom corner three-pointers.

The University of Louisville did not choose to attack at the bottom corner, they were not good at shooting in this area, otherwise the University of Southern California would not be so.

Point guard Edgar controls the ball from the outside and waits for his teammates to run.

Emperor Wu immediately stepped forward to press, not giving him the opportunity to pass the ball easily.

This is the defensive method he often uses now. Not many college players can control the ball well after being forced by him, and even fewer ones can safely dispatch the team.

Although Edgar can still control the ball when facing Wu Huang's pressing, he really can't do it if he wants to continue to mobilize the team as usual. This is Wu Huang's power on the defensive end.

However, the University of Louisville, like the University of Arizona where Harden is located, often performs part of the point guard role in the second position. Terrence Williams has contributed nearly 5 assists this season, and he is the real organizer of this team.

In the end, violent power forward Terrence Jennings of the University of Louisville inserted into the inside with an empty hand, and after receiving the pass, he forced himself to jump away from Barnard, who assisted in defense, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

"Counterattack!" Wu Huang didn't look at his opponent's celebration at all. They had known that they would be staged many such goals today. The way to deal with it is to immediately set a fast break. It is best to catch the opponent off guard. If you can't hit the opponent, you can't make a fast break. At least you must not dare to celebrate in front of them.

DeRozan likes to follow Emperor Wu to make a quick attack the most. The two of them went hand in hand and they passed the half in a blink of an eye... (To be continued.)
