There were no surprises in the final result. The Maryland Terrapins defeated the powerful St. John's in Knoxville and successfully advanced to the Elite Eight!

Elite Eight, which also tied the best record in the history of the University of Maryland.

After the game, the fans seemed to have not recovered from this hilarious and passionate game.

Both Li Ang and Artest gave their all, and the game was full of twists and turns.

The final big-headed epee performance by the two pushed the whole game to a climax.

Everyone on the Terrapins didn't celebrate too much on the court. As soon as the game ended, everyone ran back to the tunnel anxiously.

Everyone opened the door to the dressing room and saw that Li Ang had a piece of bloody gauze on his head and was leaning on a chair motionless.

Boss Fu was so frightened at that time: "Damn it, Li Ang, we haven't gone to the NBA together yet, we haven't gone to the Gold Club to sleep together and fly together, you can't just die like this!"

"Fuck, you're so noisy. It's rare for me to take a break." Li Ang still closed his eyes and just moved his lips.

He really had no energy left and it was difficult to even speak.

Just after returning to the locker room, Li Ang felt like he was being sucked dry.

On the court, with the blessing of adrenaline, even if your physical energy is drained, you can still occasionally explode.

But when he returned to the locker room to relax, after taking that breath, a strong sense of fatigue instantly invaded his body, and Li Ang fell asleep leaning against the locker.

Who would have known that I would be woken up by this funny guy not long after I fell asleep.

Francis let out a big breath. It wasn't because he was making a fuss, it was mainly because the amount of bleeding that Li Ang suffered just now was really exaggerated.

In fact, this is normal. When people exercise strenuously, their heart beats more actively and the amount of blood ejected is greater.

Therefore, even if there is only a small opening during strenuous exercise, the amount of bleeding will be very scary.

In fact, the wound on Li Ang's head was not big, and wounds caused by hard collisions were generally not particularly serious.

After all, Boss Fu doesn’t read enough, Li Ang understands.

"Thank you for your hard work today, brother. I will also shoulder the heavy responsibility in the next game. When you return to the hotel room later, I will give you a full spa!"

Li Ang looked disdainful. He could shoulder the heavy responsibility in the next game, but this whole body spa...

Can you arrange a female technician for me?

At this time, the basketball association members sitting in the stands were already stunned.

Under Artest's defense, Liang only scored 14 points today.

but......

Nima grabbed 18 rebounds!

Moreover, Li Ang's backboards are not the kind that can be easily picked off with just a hand.

Every rebound is made with every effort!

It can even be said that it was Li Ang's rebounds that sealed the victory.

"How's it going? How do you feel about this Xiao Li?"

"It's...exactly the same as what Su Junyang reported!

He has a fighting spirit, a team spirit, and is not obsessed with the ball. He looks like a good kid at first glance, and he is perfect for the national team!"

Look at what you said, does Li Ang not stick to the ball? You know he doesn't have that ability, right?

Fortunately, Li Ang did not perform his ultimate move War Trample today, otherwise people from the Basketball Association would doubt whether Li Ang could play professional games every minute.

In the 2000 Olympic Games, the Chinese team was very confident in its "China Mobile Great Wall".

But no matter how powerful the Mobile Great Wall is, it is impossible to rush outside the three-point line to defend.

What the Chinese team lacks is precisely players like Li Ang who can block the opponent's stars from the outside.

As for shooting guards, it doesn't matter whether they can score or not. Shooting guards who can rebound and defend are simply welcome!

Otherwise, why do Chinese people understand Chinese people? With their vicious eyes, they could tell at a glance that Li Ang was a shooting guard.

There is no way, given the current domestic basketball environment, with Li Ang's height, the Basketball Association will not easily let him play inside.

If people like Iverson and Paoer want to play basketball in China, it is called not doing their job properly.

After you finish reciting the basics, you can play basketball.

Not only people from the Basketball Association were shocked by Li Ang's statistics, but the on-site commentators and NBA scouts were also extremely shocked by Li Ang's 18 rebounds in a single game.

I had only heard that Li Ang could get 25 rebounds in a single game in NJCAA, but I didn't expect that he almost grabbed 20 in the NCAA Division I league.

18 rebounds in a single game is also the highest rebound record in a single game in the March Madness Championship this season.

Of course, this record is not impressive in the entire NCAA history, because the highest single-game rebound record recorded by the NCAA is 53...

Who knows how basketball was played at that time? After all, there were only statistics and no game videos.

On the other side, in the Red Storm locker room, everyone was also concerned about Artest's condition.

Everyone knows Artest's temper. He will definitely be very unhappy if he loses in this kind of game.

But today Artest neither lost his temper nor cried.

He was just quietly packing his things, then stood up and prepared to leave the locker room and get on the team bus.

Before leaving, Artest turned around, holding a toolbox full of wrenches, and gave the team a silly smile.

"Thank you all, I am very happy to spend my college career with you!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Mike Jarvis was very pleased that Yasuko had really grown up. Boy, sometimes you have to go through some setbacks before you can become a man.

I am very proud of being able to train you as a teacher~

At this time, Yasuko walked out of the locker room...

"Holy shit, shit, shit, I'm so angry! I actually lost, and I lost to an idiot like Li Ang again, fuck!"

Artest was so angry that he smashed the wall with a wrench. When he saw the stadium security coming, he immediately ran away with the tool box in his arms.

Can Artest not be angry? To be honest, if he had lost to someone else today, he might not be that angry.

But losing to Li Ang, this is as uncomfortable as if the goddess finally agreed to come to your house, but as soon as you take off your shoes after entering the house, the smell of feet wafts out!

What? You ask why Artest was so sane and mature in the locker room just now?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Have you ever considered the weight of the word "handsome"?

In front of teammates and coaches, even if you lose, you have to prepare for the last time!

At the press conference after the game, when Li Ang came out with a bandage wrapped around his head, the reporters' flashlights suddenly flashed.

Li Ang was also speechless. Even though it was wrapped around him, the wound was actually not that big.

It's just that if you just put a piece of gauze on your head like just now and add a little red in the middle, the image will be somewhat unsightly.

"Li, what made you persist until the end today?"

"You and Artest fought very hard on the court. What kind of opponent do you think he is?"

"How are your injuries? Do you taste anything salty in your mouth?"

Almost all reporters were asking Li Ang questions. If we talk about the previous press conferences of the Terrapins, Francis and Li Ang played the dual protagonists.

So today, it has become Li Ang's one-man show.

In addition to attracting more attention from reporters, this game also made Li Ang's reputation among NBA teams better.

The next day, according to ESPN's latest draft prediction rankings, Li Ang entered the lottery for the first time!

If Li Ang defeated Duke led by Brand before, some people think it was just good luck.

So their defeat of St. John's, which has Artest, can no longer be attributed to luck.

Li Ang and Artest were really fighting hard in this game. This was a game that relied on hard power to determine the outcome.

Artest's current predicted draft pick is between 12-15.

So it is not too much to say that Liang, who is not inferior to Artest, will enter the lottery.

Of course, after the ranking is improved, each team will be more demanding on Li Ang.

Second-round picks and low-ranking first-round picks, to put it bluntly, some teams really choose them with their eyes closed.

Just like scratching a lottery ticket, it's best if you win, and you won't lose anything if you don't win.

Lottery picks are different. Most bad teams regard lottery picks as their hope for the future.

Although it is also a big gamble, the price is even greater.

Being a lottery pick doesn't mean that you must become the cornerstone of the future, but at least you must be a piece of the team-building puzzle.

If he accidentally drafts a smart guy, the team's hard work will be in vain.

Many people think that it is easy to mess things up, but they are terribly wrong.

Failure is a great psychological test for the team and players!
