Chapter 45 Finals at the door

The Bruins, who advanced to the Elite 8, knew their next opponent as soon as the game ended.

The opponent is the University of Memphis Tigers, which has Robert Carney and Sean Williams. The two men are 2.01 and 2.08 meters tall respectively. They are well-known physical men in the NCAA. Robert Carney has a variety of offensive methods. If not

Wang Hao and Robert Carney are the ones with the best physical fitness among this draft class.

Faced with such an opponent, Wang Hao didn't take it too seriously. After all, two people who had never heard of him in the NBA would still be marginal even if they entered the NBA.

"Kids, three games, three more wins are needed, and we will win the highest honor of college basketball. Come on." Coach Haoland was doing the final mobilization before the expedition.

"Go ahead and crush these kittens." After Coach Haoland finished speaking, the players from both sides came on stage.

The Bruins still sent center Andre Jones, power forward Hunter, and small forward Wang Hao to split with Ryan point guard Jordan Farmar in the starting lineup.

The Tigers fielded a lineup with center Andre Gooden, power forward Sean Williams, small forward Robert Carney, and David James as point guard Mark Harrell.

The Tigers won on a jump ball and waited until the full force of the first attack.

There are no weak teams among the teams that have reached the quarterfinals, and the strengths of each team have been clearly studied by their opponents. The Bruins, the team that has entered the quarterfinals, have the simplest tactics, which is to beat Wang Hao.

The defense also relies on Wang Hao's omnipresent defense.

The Tigers, who were well aware of Wang Hao's strength, did not provoke Wang Hao irrationally, but handed the first ball to Hunter's opponent Sean Williams. Being selected with the 16th pick in the first round proved that he

His basketball skills are not as bad as Wang Hao knows. After all, the NBA draft pick shows the strength this player has shown in the past year.

Facing Sean Williams, who has super athletic ability and versatile offensive methods, Hunter had no way to restrict the opponent. After being shaken away by his opponent, he watched his opponent score two points with a mid-range shot.

During the serve, Hunter shook his head in annoyance, dissatisfied with his performance.

"It doesn't matter, I'll help you defend him later." Wang Hao quickly came up to comfort him, fearing that Hunter would get into trouble.

The Bruins still look to Wang Hao for their offense. Robert Carney, who defends Wang Hao, was once selected to the All-American First Team. Wang Hao couldn't help but wonder, why do players who have been selected to the All-American First Team lose more water than they play? Is it poisonous?

?

I have to say that Robert Carney's defense put quite a lot of pressure on Wang Hao. This has never happened before among his previous opponents. There are very few opponents who have both excellent physical fitness and excellent defensive sense. Unfortunately,

Robert Carney has both, at least he is very strong at the NCAA level.

"But if you are strong, that's all."

After Wang Hao made a simple test step, he directly took a three-point shot. Whoops!!! The ball went in. Still couldn't defend it.

Wang Hao, who scored the goal, directly returned to defense without giving his opponent any chance to say harsh words. This made Robert Carney, who was choked by his words, very uncomfortable.

The Tigers attacked, and facing Wang Hao, Robert Carney wanted to prove that he was no worse than Wang Hao.

Wang Hao wanted the ball in singles. Holding the ball with his back to Wang Hao who was close to him, Robert Carney started his rough attack, hitting him again and again. Although the visual effect was very good, every time it was a collision of power.

But Wang Hao didn't move a step, and Robert Carney kept doing useless work in place. Is his strength too weak? The banging sound of each impact will answer you, then it can only be that Wang Hao's strength is too strong.

Angry and angry, Carney ignored his teammates' request for the ball. When he saw that he couldn't hit the ball, he turned around and shot. Although the posture was beautiful, it was not enough to let the ball pass Wang Hao's mountain. The moment the ball was released, Wang Hao jumped up and intercepted it in the air.

He intercepted the ball like a missile and put it into his arms.

"Grab the hat!".

I can't remember how many times Wang Hao has caught a shot in the NCAA, but every time he catches a shot, it is so shocking. Ignoring the shocked opponent, Wang Hao, who landed on the ground, directly dribbled the ball and made a fast break.

Facing the empty Tigers inside line, Wang Hao took off from the free throw line and made a slam dunk that shocked four people at the free throw line. The score was 5:2.

The Tigers' tactics are very monotonous. They take turns letting the two powerful forwards play hard, and teammates pass the ball when they have the opportunity. This tactic is exactly the same as the Bruins, but the Bruins' Wang Hao is unsolvable, but the Tigers' two forwards

The group can indeed be restricted by Wang Hao.

Obviously the Tigers didn't realize this, or if they did, they had no other way. They still let the front two control the offense. The result was that the game fell into a situation where Wang Hao took turns attacking the Tigers' forwards and taking turns defending the Tigers' forwards.

cycle.

At the end of the first half, the Bruins led 37:15 by 22 points. Wang Hao himself scored 19 points, 5 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 4 assists, while the Tigers' dangerous duo only scored 12 points. In comparison,

The difference is clear at a glance.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Wang Hao did not choose to continue playing. The 22-point lead was enough for the Bruins to accept the game, and in Wang Hao's memory, Jordan Farmar led the current lineup all the way to the finals and finally met in the finals.

The University of Florida unfortunately lost.

Without Wang Hao in the second half of the game, the Bruins did not give the Tigers a chance. Under the guidance of Jordan Farmar, the Bruins used tactics in an orderly manner and cooperated with each other. Although the Tigers' forward duo caused some trouble,

It was quickly suppressed. The final score was 60:45 and the Bruins advanced to the final four. The semifinals and finals were held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Wang Hao's home court.

As the season progressed, Wang Hao's popularity in Los Angeles also increased. Coupled with his relationship with Kobe, Los Angeles fans recognized this Chinese boy who grew up in Los Angeles.

Familiar Los Angeles, familiar Staples, the only unfamiliar thing is that this time he will be playing the next game, instead of sitting on the sidelines as a spectator. There are still 5 days left between the end of the quarterfinals and the start of the semifinals on April 1. This

On Day 5, Wang Hao witnessed the madness of the NCAA.

Fans, scouts, and media from all walks of life flocked to Los Angeles like crazy. Tickets for the game were hard to come by. This was just the NCAA semifinals and finals. What would happen if this were replaced by the NBA finals?

Sample?

As the home team of Los Angeles fans, the Bruins are burdened with both great glory and tremendous pressure. No one wants to lose at home, especially a game that ends if they lose. As the core of the team, even looking for it

This is especially true for Wang Hao, who has booked a spot on the Lakers.

Whether it is a flash in the pan, or whether it is a rapid advance. Whether it is to defend the glory of hometown, or to watch others win the championship, the answer to all the questions will be revealed in 5 days.

After returning to Los Angeles after playing an away game against the Tigers, Wang Hao shut down all outside contact and spent every day with Kobe Bryant on the court training, training, training.

"Okay, boy, that's it for today. You have to compete tomorrow, don't practice too much." Kobe stopped Wang Hao's crazy training. Kobe, who originally thought he was enough to train the madman, looked at Wang Hao.

He couldn't help but feel embarrassed after training so hard. He had never seen Wang Hao so crazy. But Kobe was very pleased. Diligence is a necessary condition for becoming a star.

April 1st, April Fool's Day, is also the day when the NCAA semifinals begin. Today's game will determine whether the two teams will stay or go.

Wang Hao got up early and after breakfast, he found that he didn't know what to do. He could only sit listlessly in the living room and watch TV.

"Hey! Boy, is the tyrant's rule in the NCAA going to end today? In that case, you might not be worth the No. 1 pick. If the Lakers sign you, they will save a lot of players." Kobe Bryant, who saw Wang Hao's strangeness, did not

There was no conventional way of persuading.

"Go away, old man, you want to see me lose? No way." Let's go back and discuss with the management what chips to use in exchange for the No. 1 pick!

Ding ding ding! Wang Hao’s phone rang.
