Chapter 96 Basketball game of 70,000 people
"They performed very well in this tournament, they were in good shape and were lucky." Singhler continued.
"Luck?" The reporter was stunned.
"Yes, I really didn't expect that those guys in Kansas would be eliminated by the University of Texas, otherwise, our opponent would probably be Kansas."
"You mean, if the University of Connecticut meets Kansas, they will most likely not be here?" the reporter said after thinking about it.
"Yes, I watched North Carolina and their game. That guy Barnes performed too badly in the first half. If he played a little better, North Carolina wouldn't have to spend a second half to catch up with points, and he wouldn't be killed." Singler was still worried about not being able to fight North Carolina.
"But now the University of Connecticut wins." The reporter reminded that he found that Singhler had been answering questions that were irrelevant.
"So I said they were really lucky." Singhler nodded.
Now, the reporter finally heard the implication of Singhler's words. He didn't take Kang Da seriously!
But this is completely normal. Duke is the defending champion, and Singler was the MOP last season. In addition, as Singler said, Kangda's promotion this way seems to be very related to luck.
After the interview was received by Singler, Owen also had a similar chat with Coach K. He was originally going to leave, but he was surrounded by reporters at once.
"Will your toe injury affect the game? As far as we know it hasn't recovered completely."
"What do you think of tonight's opponent, the University of Connecticut?"
"Will you fight Kemba Walker, who is in a hot state, and are you confident of defeating him?"
...
There are a lot of questions. Compared to Singhler, the handsome Owen is obviously more popular among the media.
"My toe has no problem, it's very good and won't affect the game. The UConn is very good. I will try to beat Walker. I know he is in good shape now." Owen's smile was charming. Compared to Singler, he spoke obviously much more humble.
"Are you worried about Don't defending? Are you worried about being killed by Don like North Carolina?" the reporter continued to ask.
"Don? Yes, his defense is great, he is one of the best defense players I have ever seen, but he is in the fourth position and shouldn't be here to defend me."
The reporters laughed loudly when Irving said this.
"As for being killed, hey man, I can't say that the killing is killed."
Irving's words continued to make the reporter laugh.
"But I can be sure that the coach will not give Don a chance to have an open space like North Carolina." Irving said seriously at the end.
Tang Tian can win North Carolina, and Roy Williams' tactics were completely destroyed in the last moment. Coach K obviously would not make that kind of mistake.
Irving's words have come to the point.
The Rirant Stadium, a stadium that can accommodate more than 70,000 people, has long been full.
What does it mean to watch a basketball game for 70,000 people?
It is different from football games, because the basketball court is only one-twentieth that of the football field. If you watch 70,000 football people, you can watch at least a rough look at the outermost seat. However, in this case, you can only see a few small black dots at the outermost seat.
But in this position, I was watching the game, but it was just the atmosphere. Many people even prepared telescopes.
The madness of the NCAA semi-finals is unique.
70,000 people, 40,000 are fans of Duke University, 30,000 are from Kangda University, and the remaining fraction is some local neutral fans in Houston.
When the finals were in the game, the fans' outfits were also very particular.
The name of Duke University's team is the Blue Devils. Fans wear dark blue T-shirts. At first glance, the dark blue scene is like being in the deep sea, which is a bit more suffocating than the blue of North Carolina.
On the other side of Kangda, there were all white T-shirts, competing with Duke's blue.
When we arrived at the semi-finals, many super alumni from the two teams came to the scene. On Duke's side, Grant Hill, the "Jordan successor" came to the scene.
On Kangda, Ray Allen, who plays for the Celtics, also came to the scene. As the most famous player in the history of Kangda University, his arrival made Kangda fans extremely excited.
"Hey, baby, this is the scene of the strongest semi-finals, this is the craziest basketball event, NCAA!" Before the game began, Kenny Smith in the commentator's seat was spinning around with his mobile phone, and he couldn't help but use his mobile phone to record the video in advance.
Smith is a Rockets' celebrity. This semi-final match is held in Houston, and he is the one who is most excited about it.
After the short video was posted on Ins, the click rate exploded instantly, and the NCAA effect was immediately effective.
"Duke, Connecticut, how do you watch this game?" Brinn was the most decent of the four commentators, and now he also raised the most serious question.
"I think Duke will definitely win the game tonight. Their strength is too strong. No one is their opponent this year." Barkley, who was standing by, spoke first. As a well-known "big mouth", he did not drag on his words at all.
"I also think Duke will win consecutive championships this year. Last year's championship lineup, Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler among the Three Musketeers are still on the team. They are more mature, and there is also super newcomer Kyrie Irving. I don't know why they lost the game." Reggie Miller nodded and agreed.
"Or play to the problem?" Brin continued.
"No, Duke has too many talented players, it's normal for one or two to perform, but it's too difficult for you to perform collectively. They can crush their opponents with pure talent." Miller continued.
"Yes, baby, that's it." Barkley echoed.
Basketball talks about talent, so-called: in front of talent, go fucking basketball dreams.
Not to mention that Duke also has a K coach who can exchange all his talents.
"Kenny, why don't you talk anymore? You were so excited just now." After Barkley said that, he turned to look at his best partner.
"I have a different view from you." Smith said.
"Don't you think Connecticut can win?" Barkley opened his mouth wide.
"Why can't it? I like that 1.85-meter defender, Kemba Walker, he's full of energy, I like that Don, he's full of energy, this is a team that can create miracles, guys." Smith said.
His words did not resonate with Barkley and Miller, but instead caused a burst of laughter from them.
Walker is good, but he has to face Irving. Tang Tian’s defense is indeed OK, but Duke is scoring points on the court. How can he fight against four-handed, six-handed, and eight-handed with two fists?
