NCAA Finals, Connecticut Husky vs Oklahoma State University Cowboys.

Before March Crazy Begins, espn organized an event to collect forecast matches for this year's March Crazy Finals across the country.

Nowadays, such a matchup result makes the 17.5 million predicted matchup tables received by espn become meaningless.

Because even one of them is accurate in prediction.

In fact, many people have guessed that Connecticut can reach the finals.

After all, those who own Okafor, Ben Gordon and Vilanueva were considered favorites from the beginning.

But the appearance of the Cowboys is truly surprising.

There is no mortal hostility between Connecticut and Duke, no three Illinois musketeers, and there is no North Carolina led by Roy Williams.

Wayne fully demonstrated his dark face.

Not only will it be blackened when unboxing, but it will also be blackened when playing games.

Dark Horse vs. traditional powerful men, such a final showdown has whetted the appetite of fans.

And this year, it's not just American fans who are looking forward to the finals.

The Rabbit Family on the other side of the ocean has an unprecedented level of attention to this year's NCAA finals.

This year's NCAA final will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Of course, if you think the NCAA final will be staged at the Timberwolves' home target center, you're very wrong.

Because of the size of the target center... it can't accommodate events like the NCAA's crazy March finals!

The venue for this year's NCAA final is Hemfrey Metropolitan Dome, which can accommodate 64,121 people!

The number of people that the target center can accommodate is less than 20,000.

Hemfry Metropolitan Dome was originally home to the football team Minnesota Vikings.

Due to the NCAA final, this place will be temporarily converted into a basketball stadium for use.

Organizing stadium events in accordance with the specifications of stadiums is a regular operation in the NCAA finals.

If the audience sitting in the special back row does not want to just stare at the big screen on the scene, they must have their own telescopes to see what is happening on the field.

Even so, tickets for the finals are still hard to come by!

This is the NCAA finals, this is the event that makes NBA have to give in to it.

Therefore, when Director Zhang led the CCTV reporter team to this huge multi-functional gymnasium, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"Oh, I'm playing basketball here, the ranking is really big enough."

"This... the fans sitting at the top may not even see the big screen clearly?" A young reporter next to Director Zhang was also very surprised.

Once upon a time, he thought that the NBA was already the most luxurious basketball event in the world.

When Coach Zhang told him that the NCAA March Crazy Game was more popular in the United States than the NBA, he didn't believe it.

How many college students can play basketball better than NBA?

But now, he not only believed it, but also admired it.

This gymnasium doesn't have this condition even in the NBA finals.

Not to mention anything else, the set of large screens hanging in the middle on the spot are almost the same as the basketball court below!

This super large screen is composed of 760 LED screens, and finally forms a ring shape. The diameter is 24 meters, which is only 4 meters shorter than the length of the court.

Since the large screen of the football field is not hanging in the middle, it took nearly a week to install this screen specially prepared for the NCAA final.

To be honest, if you watch football in such a gym, you will not have any experience of watching the ball at all unless you have the ability to buy front-row tickets.

But most American fans come here not just to watch the game, but to experience the fanatical atmosphere with their friends.

Tens of thousands of people wear the same T-shirts, make the same shouts, and make the same actions.

The scene was still quite shocking.

"Stop playing basketball. I feel a little nervous just standing here. I will wait until the stands are full of people tomorrow night. Do you think Xiao Wei will be nervous?"

"Look at what you said, you think they are the same as you. He was not nervous when he was in such a crisis last time when he was playing North Carolina. That child was born to have a big scene. Do you think so, Director Zhang?"

"Well," Director Zhang nodded affirmatively, "Wayne won't play because of tension.

But if you meet No. 1 candidate Okafor, it's not as easy as playing Lore Deng in the last game."

While Director Zhang and the others were still lamenting the majesty of the gymnasium, several men in suits and ties were chatting leisurely in the stands at Hemfury Metropolitan Dome Stadium.

"Are they crazy? Does anyone really think Dwight Howard can be a combination of Garnett and Duncan? I mean, that kid hasn't even proved himself in college.

His physical talent is indeed very exciting, but to be honest, it would be strange if Dwight didn’t score goals in the face of those high school students.”

A bald man held Howard's scout report, which read a sentence: "Because he played the point guard in his first year of high school, he had to play the inside line because of his height. So he had a delicate ball control technique, a very soft shooting feel, and an excellent overall view and basketball wisdom."

He really couldn't praise this sentence. Physical talent is indeed visible to the naked eye, but the so-called skill is impossible to see without playing high-intensity games!

Howard's ability to shoot in high school games does not mean that he can shoot in college, but also in NBA.

"You also said that Dwight's physical talent is very outstanding, so outstanding that this alone is enough to compete for the No. 1 pick. In any case, that child will be a big hit." A white man who looked quite kind-hearted next to the bald man echoed.

"Do you mean Emecca can win the day? The Russian Grand Prix is ​​indeed very aggressive this season. If Emecca can win the championship and then win the mop in the semi-finals, the No. 1 pick should be stable, right?" The bald man did not continue to talk about Howard, but shifted the topic to Okafor.

"Whether Emecca can become the No. 1 pick is not about the champion or the mop, but who can draw the No. 1 pick.

However, I am not worried about him. In any case, I will not let him fall out of the top three. No, I will never fall out of the top two!"

The middle-aged man smiled, and there was always a sense of calmness on his face.

Jeff Schwartz, the founder of Excellence Sports Management Co., Ltd., and he himself is the number one broker of this brokerage company.

As early as the beginning of this season, Jeff Schwartz had reached an oral agreement with Okafo.

Once the season is over, he will officially become Okafor's agent and manage his off-field affairs.

Although NCAA stipulates that players participating in the draft must sign agents after the end of the season, players are not explicitly prohibited from meeting agents in advance.

Usually, the team coaches prevent players from contacting their agents in advance in order to allow players to concentrate on playing.

But it is obvious that Schwartz passed the level of Huskimo coach Jim Kahon.

Therefore, although there is no official signing, Okafor is already a Schwartz player.

In order to show sincerity, Schwartz had already helped him with a lot of things before signing with Okafor.

If Schwartz hadn't helped to vigorously package Okafor's image as "Mr. Perfect" wouldn't have been so deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"Don't worry? I thought you were watching Emecca's performance specifically." The bald man looked at Schwartz. Could it be that this guy was not here for Okafor, the biggest customer?

"Hahaha, who said I came to visit Emecca Okafor.

I'm here this time to talk to that Chinese man." Schwartz said, blinking at the bald male agent under his company.

"Chinese? Wayne? You don't want to recruit him as well, right?"

"Why not? Haven't you seen how huge the Chinese market brought by Yao is? If I win Wayne, I think I have a chance to send him to the lottery!

The Trail Blazers are yelling to Telfiel all day long. Do you believe it or not? They are actually lying?"

"You mean...what they want is actually Wayne?"

“Well, a Pacers scout named Sweet revealed to me.

He said that the Trail Blazers scouts have been observing Wayne for the whole season. Besides, Wayne defeated Rashid in front of the Trail Blazers general manager.”

Speaking of this, Schwartz was quite proud.

As a professional sports agent, you can't just understand the law. Sometimes, connections are several times more important than legal knowledge.

In this era of underdeveloped Internet, you can't get a lot of information without connections.

Schwartz met Sweett as early as when he was an assistant at IMG. Since then, the two have maintained a good relationship.

After establishing his own company, Schwartz also engaged in low-key cooperation with Sweet.

So, he was sure that the Trail Blazers were actually trying to trick them.

"You guy... tell me honestly, how long have you been observing that child?"

"It wasn't long before he started paying attention to him when he got the MVP of the Big 12 regular season. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to handle him yet."

"However, Bill Duffy, who has already enjoyed the sweetness of Chinese players, shouldn't let Wayne go."

"Well, Bill will definitely have contact with Wayne too. That's why I came here, I'm going to take action first."

Schwartz smiled. In fact, he wanted to sign Wayne, not just because he was attracted by Wayne's current commercial value.

There is a very bold but feasible plan in his heart that is emerging.

If this plan works, he can guarantee that he can expand the Chinese market several times!

Of course, it can also expand Wayne's influence several times.

Bill Duffy?

Well, he is a good agent and a good person, but he doesn't have such ambitions.
