This is the second time since 1954 that USC has reached the National Final Four.
In 1955, exactly 55 years later, the University of Southern California once again advanced to the top four in the country. The University of Southern California was excited when watching the live game.
They didn't expect that a small and transparent school could achieve such a brilliant record in basketball. They usually pay more attention to school football, and USC's football has continuously reached the NCAA quarterfinals and achieved good results!
But their best performance in basketball in recent years was reaching the Sweet 16 under the leadership of Nick Young, and losing to North Carolina in the Elite Eight.
This year, North Carolina has also reached the NCAA Final Four, and is still the No. 1 seed in the Southern Division!
Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
Many fans near the players' tunnel stretched out their hands, waved their jerseys, and shouted the names of Lian Dao and DeMar, asking for autographs.
In previous games, Lian Dao and Demar would try their best to satisfy some fans' requests for the ball.
This time was no exception. Lian Daojie took the marker pen from the fans and signed his Chinese name on their jerseys, and then signed his English name below.
"Hey, sickle, I like you so much, can you sign your autograph?" Suddenly a white and tender arm pulled Lian Dao's jersey.
Lian Dao then turned around and saw a blond-haired, blue-eyed woman... well, let's call her a girl.
The reason why I call her a girl is because this female fan has a cute and delicate baby face, but her figure is very choppy.
Simply, the face of an angel and the body of a devil.
"Okay, where do you want to sign?"
"Well..." She excitedly pulled the red No. 1 jersey she was wearing and pointed to the front of her chest.
"Here, here!"
Lian Dao was shocked by her boldness.
"Here?" Lian Dao asked again.
"Yes, this is it!" The girl hugged Lian Dao's arm excitedly.
Lian Dao was a little embarrassed. Logically speaking, he was a battle-hardened man in his last life, but today he didn't look like a prodigal who had been in love for a long time.
But the fans had already made their request, and Lian Dao had to bite the bullet, trying not to let his hands come into contact with the female fans, and then signed his name on it.
When he wrote the last letter, the fans behind him crowded forward, and the girl leaned forward, and then Lian Dao felt his hand touch something.
This sudden movement made Lian Dao stunned, and he forgot to take his hand away for a moment.
But then he realized his problem and quickly took his hand away.
"sorry!"
"sorry!"
Lian Dao and the girl said sorry twice almost at the same time.
Immediately, Lian Dao touched his nose awkwardly.
But then I realized that my action was a bit obscene, so I wanted to explain it quickly.
"I'm not, I'm just too embarrassed!"
The girl was stunned when she saw Lian Dao's actions, and then blushed a little, but saw Lian Dao desperately trying to explain.
Then he bent down and said "Pfft!" and laughed.
But the moment he straightened up, Lian Dao was attracted to him again, and Lian Dao hurriedly averted his gaze.
It wasn't until Demar's cry that Lian Dao hurriedly said hello to the girls and hurried towards the players' tunnel.
At this time, the girl looked at Lian Dao walking towards the players tunnel in a panic, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her lips.
"Oops, he also missed the letter e. I must ask him to make it up next time. I forgot to ask for his social account!" Looking at the unfinished signature on her chest, the girl's cute lips pursed slightly, but
Then he didn't know what he thought of, and another smile appeared on his pursed lips.
And this smile directly stunned the elder brother holding the empty popcorn bucket next to him!
When many female fans saw it, they rolled their eyes and kept scolding in their hearts: "Xiao Bichi, the sickle is mine, you did it on purpose!"
But Lian Dao can't see it at this time. He is now being questioned by Demar about his relationship with that girl!
But after hearing that it was a female fan, an expression of envy suddenly appeared on her face.
He looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Why, I don't have such beautiful female fans!"
Lian Dao patted Demar on the shoulder. He originally wanted to say, "You're not handsome enough!"
But then he saw Demar's sad expression looking up at the ceiling at 45°, so he didn't stab his good brother again.
As soon as Lian Dao arrived in the locker room, a bucket of energy drink was poured over his head.
"Surprise, let me cool you down!" Gibson laughed, holding a bucket in one hand and wrapping his arm around Lian Dao's shoulder.
Other players also continued to congratulate Lian Dao for breaking the three-point record.
Lian Dao also kept joking with the team members.
Until Su Qun came to the locker room to look for him, Lian Dao also hurriedly drank the energy drink on his body.
Change your clothes and walk out of the locker room.
Now in China, in addition to the "Basketball Pioneer" reporting on the NCAA, other newspapers also report on it, but only the "Basketball Pioneer" can get first-hand information on Lian Dao.
Lian Dao is also very cooperative in this regard, and Lian Dao is also very happy that he can be recognized by domestic fans.
Although he spent most of his time in the United States in his previous life, he received a lot of help from his motherland.
Especially during the epidemic, he received many relief medicines and masks from China, which made many Americans very envious.
Lian Dao knows that a large part of all the respect he receives abroad comes from the strength of his motherland!
So for Lian Dao, he loves the land where he was born. He is very happy where he was born, so even though he has been in the United States for so many years, he has never thought of changing his nationality!
He knew that Su Qun was so active partly for profit, but which media did not do it for profit.
Some local media in the United States are willing to listen to the news for their own benefit. They were involved in Lu Dan’s first retirement.
Therefore, Lian Dao also cooperated and helped Su Qun as much as possible.
The two are also old acquaintances and have a good relationship, so they are very comfortable communicating with each other.
When Su Qun's interview ended, Tim came over.
At the same time, a man wearing a suit came in with him.
After some exchanges, Lian Dao found out that he was originally from Nike.
He came here to sign Lian Dao and Demar. His offer to Lian Dao was 35 million over seven years, but Lian Dao was not very interested in it.
This contract is a bit low for Lian Dao. You must know that Durant’s first sneaker contract was offered to him by Nike for 7 years and 60 million.
However, the amount given to Lian Dao was 25 million less.
Lian Dao knew that Nike likes to invest in NCAA players who have not yet entered the NBA, and Adidas used to like to start investing from talented high school students, but later because the league did not allow high schools to directly participate in the draft, their plan was shelved.
Investing begins with NCAA players. If the investment is done properly and the players realize their talents, they will reap huge rewards. Of course, there are also parallel imports that are lost in the league.
But overall, the rate of return from this kind of signing is still very impressive.
But Liandao has its own plan, 35 million in 7 years. For Liandao, firstly, the time limit is too long, and secondly, the quotation is too low.
Lian Dao is confident that he can realize his talent during his rookie contract, so Lian Dao is not in a hurry for his first sneaker contract.
Furthermore, his wealthy family also gave him the opportunity to wait for a price and sell it!
DeMar was very interested in the arrival of Nike. He was wearing Nike's Zoom Kobe 3. He was a die-hard Kobe Bryant fan, so Lian Dao gave him a pair of Zoom Kobe 3 on his birthday.
Lian Dao wanted to persuade Demar, but he swallowed his words again. Everyone's family is different, and Demar needs money now.
Not everyone can wait for the price like cheap rice.
Moreover, DeMar's first contract in history seems to have been signed with Nike, and he was a member of Nike's Kobe Bryant program.
Demar has his own way to go, and he also knows what he will do next!
