Chapter 57 The Ultimate Battle
Sun Yi followed the address sent to him by Dayao and came to a restaurant not far from the arena.
Following the waiter to the private room, he saw as soon as he entered that besides Brother Yao, there were two very familiar faces inside.
At the same time, Dayao saw Sun Yi arriving and immediately stood up to introduce each other.
"Xiaoyi, these are my teammates, Shane Battier and Scola."
"Brother Yao, I know him. My favorite team used to be the Mosaic team."
Immediately, Sun Yi greeted Scola and Shane Battier in fluent English.
Scola and Battier also said hello to Sun Yi with smiles on their faces.
After getting acquainted, several people chatted about basketball-related topics while waiting for their food.
Dayao told Sun Yi some of his experiences in the NBA, and warned him that after entering the NBA, he must train diligently, have a good relationship with his teammates, seize opportunities, do his best to show his abilities, and only after he has established himself in the NBA
Won't be eliminated.
Sun Yi nodded, agreeing very much with Dayao's point of view.
In his previous life, he had seen many rookies in the lottery area enter the NBA and then disappear, only to be ruthlessly eliminated.
After chatting for a while, Dayao's cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and could only say sorry to Sun Yi and the others, left the box and found a quiet place to answer the call.
After Dayao left, the atmosphere was not cold, and Sun Yi could also find topics to chat with Scola and Battier.
"Brother Si, in 2004, what belief did you rely on to defeat the Dream Team Six?"
When Scola heard that this was his highlight moment, he said something.
"We didn't have much confidence before the game, but thinking that other countries could beat this dream team, we could too, so we fought with the Dream Team with firm belief until the end. The final result was wonderful."
After Scola finished talking about the past match against the Dream Six Team, Sun Yi did not ignore Battier and asked him for some knowledge on defense.
Battier is an expert in defense, and Sun Yi liked him very much and patiently gave him some pointers.
He is very optimistic about the little guy in front of him and thinks that he is likely to be taken care of by this little guy in the NBA in the future.
Not long after, Dayao came back. When he saw Sun Yi chatting animatedly with his two teammates, he was a little surprised.
"Xiao Yi's communication skills are really awesome!" Dayao thought in his heart, then returned to his seat and sat down.
"Xiaoyi, just now my agent Mr. Bill Duffy wanted to ask you if you have found an agent. If not, you can consider him."
Dayao acted as Bill Duffy's lobbyist and asked Sun Yi in Chinese.
Shane Battier and Scola didn't think anything of it, they just chatted by themselves.
"Brother Yao, although I haven't found an agent, I can't agree to you immediately. I will consider it after playing March Madness. At that time, I will give priority to Mr. Duffy." Sun Yi replied.
Dayao nodded after hearing this, expressing his understanding. He was only acting as a sounding board. As for Sun Yi's choice, that was not something he should consider.
It didn't take long for the food to be served one after another. Sun Yi and Dayao's chat was forced to end, and then they began to enjoy the delicious food.
After finishing the midnight snack, Dayao didn't stay with Sun Yi for long and sent him back to the hotel where he was staying.
When leaving, Sun Yi thought it would be better to remind Dayao that as to whether he could change the outcome, he could only do his best and listen to fate.
"Brother Yao, actually the NBA is not as good as you think. It is all tied up with interests, but loyalty cannot harm you. Iverson is the best example.
Also, you have to pay more attention to your knees and ankles, don’t show off, health is the most important thing.”
Dayao nodded and said nothing more. He was very grateful to Sun Yi for his kindness.
As an athlete, he is very aware of his physical condition, and he also knows that this is a business league, but he has his own plans.
After saying goodbye, Sun Yi returned to the hotel where he was staying, called head coach McClop to report that he was safe, and then returned to his room.
When Curry saw Sun Yi coming back, he was the first to speak: "Sun, do you know who our opponent in the final is?"
"Then who else, isn't it North Carolina?" Sun Yi replied flatly.
Curry asked in confusion: "You go out for an appointment and still pay attention to the game?"
"You don't have to watch the game between North Carolina and Villanova. The result will definitely be North Carolina's victory, and the two teams are no longer on the same level." Sun Yi explained.
"It's really boring. North Carolina has been suppressing Villanova. The strength gap between the two teams is very big." Curry said.
He watched the entire game in his hotel room and felt that the Wildcats' chances of winning against this North Carolina team were also very slim.
"Sun, facing a top power like North Carolina, do you think we can defeat them?"
"I don't dare to jump to conclusions. Only after fighting can you know what bullshit is powerful. What we are fighting is powerful!"
After Sun Yi finished speaking, he made a joke.
"Stephen, then you have to work harder, that's the team that once rejected you."
"Sun, don't worry, I will let them know that thirty years from Hedong to thirty years from Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty, and that's it!"
Sun Yi translated Curry's words to almost the same meaning.
Immediately, the two discussed how to deal with North Carolina.
At this stage, the Wildcats have used all their trump cards and can only do it with live ammunition.
After the discussion, the two of them went back to their beds to sleep and rest.
…
…
The next day, the streets across America were filled with news about the completed NCAA semifinals and the upcoming finals.
"Fatal shot! Stephen Curry made up for last year's regrets with a perfect shot!"
"Sun Yi sent out fatal assists and scored 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, becoming the 6th player to get a triple-double in the NCAA championship!"
"The ultimate NCAA battle: Davidson Wildcats vs. North Carolina Tar Heels!"
"In the contest between the traditional giants and the counterattack dark horses, who will win the championship?!"
After seeing the report, fans across the United States all came together to watch this high-profile final with their relatives and friends.
It can be said that this NCAA finals is the most peak matchup in recent years.
In fact, many people guessed that North Carolina could reach the finals.
After all, the University of North Carolina has a very strong lineup, with a five-star lineup composed of Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson, Danny Green, Wayne Ellington and Ed Davis.
Since the beginning of the NCAA National Championship, they have been considered the favorites to win the championship.
The University of North Carolina did not disappoint the fans, crushing all the way to the finals, showing its super strength.
The Davidson Wildcats counterattacked all the way, defeating strong opponents one after another. In the semifinals, they even used a buzzer-beater to get past the danger and enter the finals.
It is really surprising that the Wildcats can reach the finals.
When two teams that are so topical meet in the finals, fans can't wait to see what kind of sparks will happen.
Chapter completed!
