Louisiana is a state in the southern United States, located on the Gulf of Mexico coast. It is bounded by Arkansas to the north, Texas to the west, Mississippi to the east, and the Gulf of Mexico to the south.
The state was named in honor of King Louis XIV of France. The state flower is the southern magnolia, the state tree is the cypress, and the state bird is the famous pelican.
That’s right, it’s the Pelican!
The New Orleans Pelicans were later named after the state bird.
The stadium used for the NCAA Final Four game is the Superdome in New Orleans. However, this stadium is not the home stadium of the Pelicans. The home stadium of the Pelicans is another arena called the Smoothie Center.
But in New Orleans, the largest stadium is the Superdome. It is not only one of the largest dome buildings in the world, but also has a long history and has a long history with basketball. It has hosted five major basketball classic games.
The Superdome is also called the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, it's the one with the oil leak, and you have to turn right after three kilometers to change the engine.
Despite its decades-long baptism, Mercedes-Benz Stadium remains a sports mecca that is more durable and more important than similar domes such as the Astro, Hoosier, Silver and Georgia.
What's more, it is the only true dome stadium remaining in the United States.
People usually like to call the Mercedes-Benz Stadium the Superdome. It is a landmark sports building in New Orleans. Although the Superdome is mainly used for football games, it has also witnessed a history of the NBA and NCAA.
Before the Jazz moved to Utah in the 1979-80 season, it was their home for the last four seasons of the New Orleans era and witnessed the gorgeous performances of "Pistol" Pete Maravich in his prime.
On February 25, 1977, the Knicks vs. the New Orleans Jazz was the highlight of Maravich's career with the New Orleans Jazz and even the entire NBA. Facing the Knicks, he scored 68 points, breaking Jerry Weiss.
Te previously held the record, once becoming the highest-scoring defender in a single game in NBA history.
He made 26 of 43 shots from the field, but as a perfectionist, Maravich was still not satisfied with his performance.
"I could have scored more points." "I missed a lot of easy scoring opportunities." He said after the game.
This year is not the first time that the NCAA has held its Final Four here. On March 29, 1982, the NCAA Finals between the University of North Carolina and Georgetown University was held here.
Jordan, Ewing, James Worthy, Sam Perkins and Slippy Floyd are all involved in this battle.
Of course, as we all know, Jordan took a decisive shot in the last 17 seconds to complete the buzzer-beating game, and then the ball passed to Floyd by Georgetown University's Fred Brown was successfully intercepted by Worthy.
That year, Jordan and Ewing were both freshmen.
Just like Lu Yu this year.
Lu Yu was sitting in the locker room. The locker room in the arena was so luxurious and inhumane. It had a dedicated lounge, a massage room, and a bathroom with a sauna. This was not an arena. It was simply a corrupt club.
There is also a large color TV hanging on the wall in the locker room. From the locker room, you can see the crazy fans in the game venue. As soon as the picture on the TV changes, a group of players wearing blue uniforms enter the stadium from the player tunnel.
The player wearing No. 31 jersey walking at the back, with smiling eyes, looked very much like Bruce Wayne in the movie.
"Duke is on the court, it's our turn!" Mark Foyo clapped his hands and shouted loudly.
"Let's knock this Blue Devil down!" Blake Stepp jumped up excitedly.
Casey Greene and Dan Dickau tightened their shoelaces calmly.
Lu Yu stood up and stretched, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Batman? Let me see your strength in college!"
I don’t know if the pick-and-roll tactics taught by Stockton two days ago are easy to use or not.
At this time, Jessica had just ran out of the magazine office, holding a thick pile of information. Snoopy passed by and asked: "Hey, Jessica, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Go to the game."
Jessica only left a silhouette of Snoopy's back.
Snoopy looked at the big color TV in the office in surprise. Didn't Jessica know that the company made money and bought such a big TV?
At Luji Chinese Restaurant, a customer came to the restaurant to have a meal, but found a sign on the door saying it was closed. Through the glass of the restaurant, the customer found that the tall boss was sitting on a stool attentively, looking up at the TV.
games broadcast here.
The cast of "The Princess Diaries" at Gonzaga University.
"Director, all the Gonzaga students went to watch the game today, and we can't even catch a scene. Why don't we take a day off?"
Scarlett Johansson dragged Anne Hathaway to the crew's hotel room and turned on the TV.
Far away in China on the other side of the ocean, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and Yi Jianlian were squatting in their dormitory, watching the game broadcast on CCTV attentively.
The TV reminded me of the unique voice of the commentator Sun Yiping.
"CCTV, CCTV, what we are broadcasting for you now is the Final Four of the American College Basketball Association, the game between Gonzaga University and Duke University. This is also the first time that CCTV broadcasts an NCAA League game."
"Today we are still inviting our old friend Zhang Weiping, Director Zhang, to commentate on this game with me. Hello, Director Zhang, this time we can come to New Orleans to commentate on an NCAA game live. This is the first time in history.
.”
"That's right. It's really thanks to one person that we can commentate on this game."
"Who is it?" Sun Yiping asked knowingly.
"Of course it's the Chinese players who made a name for themselves at Gonzaga University, Lu Yu. Lu Yu single-handedly brought Gonzaga University to the Final Four, and currently ranks first in the NCAA league's scoring list and second in the assists list.
We Chinese feel proud in front of Americans, and we also let Americans know that we in China also have such good backcourt players." Zhang Weiping said with a smile.
"Yes, Lu Yu's performance is really amazing." Sun Yiping opened the information in his hand and said: "I still remember last year, Director Zhang and I explained a match between Gonzaga University and the National Youth Team.
In that game, Lu Yu scored 22 points, 9 assists and 7 steals. At that time, we also said that Lu Yu’s defense made the National Youth Team members realize their shortcomings.”
In the dormitory, Wang Shipeng coughed twice in embarrassment, because in that game, he contributed at least four steals out of seven.
He still remembered that after that game, he said to himself in his heart: "One day, I will definitely catch up with Lu Yu."
That's why he kept training with Zhu Fangyu, because he knew that Lu Yu couldn't wait for him where he was.
He looked at No. 10 Lu Yu walking out of the players' tunnel on the TV, and he couldn't help but feel a touch of sadness in his heart. Perhaps he would never be able to catch up to where Lu Yu was waiting for him.
"The two teams have entered the field, let us enjoy the game between the two teams."
Following Sun Yiping's words, Wang Shipeng, Lu Chaoyang, Snoopy, Jessica, as well as Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway in the crew, all fixed their eyes on the TV.
