The fans of the Cavalry team were so excited. It was a great game to watch. Soldiers were coming to block it, but water was coming to cover it up!

Brown suppressed Herman tightly, which made Buffalo coach Alan look worried.

In the next few rounds, Herman struggled to catch the ball.

Even if he gets the ball, Brown and Zhao Qiang will take turns "taking care of" him.

If Billups hadn't forced a three-pointer, the Buffaloes' outside perimeter would have been completely misfired.

There is no way, Herman's defense is very average. If he can't make a three-pointer, there is no use staying on the court.

Alan had to replace him again.

At this time, there were more than 5 minutes left in the second half, the score was 78:71, and the Cavaliers were already leading by 7 points.

Coach Alan called a timeout, he was going to make a last ditch effort.

Brown was very excited. For the first time, he found that he could be of great help to the team.

He rushed to Zhao Qiang, bowed deeply, and said very gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Qiang!"

Zhao Qiang quickly hugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Thank you for nothing, it's your own efforts. Keep working hard to fuck them!"

Teammates on the bench also came over and high-fived Brown in celebration.

…

The media broadcast the game live, and the commentator on the sidelines kept exclaiming: "Are the Cavaliers going to go all out? They just eliminated the No. 5 seed, are they going to eliminate the No. 6 seed again?"

Not only the media, but also fans have developed a strong interest in the Cavalry.

Many fans from other schools are asking about the origins of Zhao Qiang, the captain of the cavalry team? He is so strong!

Neither Ray Allen of the University of Connecticut nor Billups of the University of Colorado took advantage.

Coupled with Marbury of Georgia Tech, so many star guards are in his hands?

…

After the timeout, the main players of the Buffalo team returned to the court.

The Cavalry also replaced four main players, plus Brown.

Brown and Djokovic take turns to appear, mainly depending on the specific situation of the opponent's lineup.

Djokovic's strengths are defense and organization, and he is very skilled in pick-and-rolls with the inside.

Brown's strengths are shooting and individual defense.

The timeout ends and the game continues.

The Buffaloes really worked hard. As soon as their players came up, they launched a fierce attack, especially small forward Doron, who frequently asked for the ball.

Doron's ability is still very strong. He and Billups cooperated tacitly and fought several times in a row.

The point difference was reduced to 4 points.

Just when the Buffaloes were at full strength, Zhao Qiang took action again.

He first made a gesture with Ben to strengthen defense and asked Ben to drop center Alec to help defend Doron.

At the same time, the Big Black Dragon stood on the edge of the penalty area, ready to start at any time.

Zhao Qiang also kept cruising between Billups and Doron, putting pressure on Doron.

This defensive tactic brought the Buffalo team's offense to a standstill. Big Ben gave Gallon a big block, and Zhao Qiang also caught him by surprise and gave him a steal.

On the offensive end, Zhao Qiang created many opportunities for his teammates through breakthroughs and distribution. His teammates were also very motivated and most of them scored.

The points difference slowly widened again.

With more than 1 minute left in the game, the score difference was back to 9 points.

Buffalo head coach Alan sat blankly on the coaching bench and stopped talking. The situation for the Buffalo team was over.

In the end, the Cavalry defeated the Buffalo team tenaciously and advanced to the top 16!

Zhao Qiang played 33 minutes today and scored 26 points, the highest scorer on both sides.

Brown also performed well today, making 5 of 6 three-pointers and scoring 15 points.

Billups scored 18 points and sent 7 assists today, which was quite satisfactory. Doron scored 25 points, second only to Zhao Qiang.

After the game, Billups walked up to Zhao Qiang, smiled bitterly, and said, "Congratulations, Zhao Qiang, you played really well. It seems that Ray Allen's reminder is right. You are indeed difficult to deal with."

Zhao Qiang shook his head and said: "Maybe you all underestimate the enemy a little. Ray Allen is no worse than me. You also have many advantages. I will learn more from you."

"You Chinese just like to be humble and low-key, even though you play so well!"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words before they separated.

…

The NCAA tournament has a popular name: the top 16 are called the "Sweet Sixteen" and the top 8 are called the "Elite Eight."

The teams that can enter the top 16 are all the top teams in the NCAA. No team is sure to easily defeat another team.

The Cavaliers defeated powerful enemies in succession, which attracted the attention of fans and media, especially ESPN, which even produced a special feature to introduce the growth process of Cavalry players, especially Zhao Qiang.

This is where the American star-making movement matures.

ESPN has been following Zhao Qiang for some time. It has a lot of Zhao Qiang's material and has edited a short documentary.

In the film, Zhao Qiang's life, training, and competition are all shown in front of the fans.

Fans discovered that this Chinese-American young man not only plays basketball well, but is also sunny, positive and handsome in his daily life.

Before the 16-to-8 game, ESPN conducted another exclusive interview with Zhao Qiang.

In fact, with Zhao Qiang's character, he doesn't like to be interviewed with great fanfare before a game. This is too high-profile.

However, an ESPN reporter advised: The fans like Zhao Qiang too much, so they want to know more about him.

In an era when the Internet is underdeveloped, there are too few ways for fans to understand and contact players. They can only go through official interviews or mainstream media reports.

Zhao Qiang felt that what the reporter said was reasonable, so he had to agree.

Before going to the interview, Tang Xiaowan specially took Zhao Qiang to buy a new suit of clothes.

Zhao Qiang usually wears very simple clothes. He thinks that the clothes he wears are clean and generous.

But you still have to dress up for an exclusive interview.

Tang Xiaowan specially took a half-day off and spent several hours shopping in the mall with Zhao Qiang, buying him an outfit.

Zhao Qiang looked at himself in the shopping mall mirror, laughed dumbly, turned around and asked: "Xiao Wan, is it necessary? Do you still want to wear a tuxedo?"

Tang Xiaowan looked at it and felt it was inappropriate and a bit funny.

Suddenly, Tang Xiaowan patted her head, as if she suddenly remembered something.

"I understand, Qiang, these clothes are not suitable for us."

After saying that, Tang Xiaowan pulled Zhao Qiang to a nearby Chinese clothing store.

There, there are various traditional Chinese costumes, such as Hanfu, Tang suit, cheongsam, etc.

Zhao Qiang also nodded repeatedly and praised: "Yes! These clothes are still comfortable to wear!"

So, Zhao Qiang tried on several clothes and finally decided on a Tang suit that fit him well.

"Tang Xiaowan bought a Tang suit for her husband, what's the second line?" Zhao Qiang asked with a smile.

"Stop being so talkative!

Tang Xiaowan blushed and whispered.
