Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 1
On April 1986, 4, Madison Square Garden in New York, a beautiful country, this basketball resort is now the focus of attention of basketball fans across the United States.

There are two completely different worlds inside and outside the arena. Outside the arena, due to the cold winter, although the spring breeze has blown, the temperature still makes people wear thick clothes and wrap them tightly.

The hot scene in the arena is far from the outside. Even if you take off your coat and only wear a thin T-shirt, you will still sweat profusely. Maybe it’s because the air conditioner in the arena is too high, but more importantly, It is the enthusiasm of the audience, and Marisa is one of these enthusiastic audiences.

Today, she was forcibly dragged to the arena by her brother Adam, a basketball fan, to watch their school's game. I don't know where Adam got the front volleyball tickets. Although she occasionally watched a few games with her brother on TV, but Marisa has never been so excited like today, maybe this is the power of the scene.

She had little interest when she first came in, but now, like most of the audience, she was anxiously preparing to witness the moment of miracles.

This is the annual NCAA finals, which is the highest hall of honor in the entire American basketball world, and even the NBA finals cannot be compared with it.

The opponents in this game are Stanford University and Duke University. The one wearing the white jersey is the Duke University Blue Devils. At this time, the Blue Devils are far from being as famous as in the 21st century. Krzyzewski has just taken over the Blue Devils for 6 years, and this year is the first time Krzyzewski led the team to the Finals, which is not considered a traditional powerhouse.

However, something like being powerful needs to be set off. Compared with his opponents, Duke can definitely be regarded as the strongest of the powerful.

The Stanford University Cardinals, wearing red jerseys, are a dark horse. It is definitely the only one since the school was founded to reach the finals this time.

Although Stanford University is definitely considered a famous school in the United States, basketball can only be regarded as a younger brother. Even for Stanford alumni, when the NCAA is mentioned, the first reaction is definitely football, not basketball. No way, who Let Stanford University's football famous, that's really rich!

It's just that all of this came to an end today, because the NCAA championship, the supreme honor in the college sports world, is finally within reach of Stanford University.

In the NCAA football finals the year before last, it was the closest Stanford University came to the NCAA championship. At the end of the game, Stanford University led by two points. Suddenly launched an attack and scored seven points. The most embarrassing result was that the referee still ruled that it was valid.

It was just one step away from heaven to hell, and the most controversial game in NCAA history was born. It would be a ghost if the Stanford man agreed, but there was trouble and scolding, and the final result could not be changed.

Therefore, today's game is the collective expectation of all Stanford alumni. What the football team failed to achieve will be accomplished by the basketball team. It is of the nature of revenge, not revenge against the University of California, but an unfair revenge against the NCAA.

At this moment, the eyes of Marisa and all the other spectators were focused on a figure on the field, who had just passed the halftime with the ball, the yellow-skinned baby-faced kid wearing the No. 9 jersey, Li Weisi.

Although Li Weisi has a different skin color than other people on the court, and Li Weisi, who is 188 centimeters tall, also looks a bit "petite" on the court, but the aura emanating from his body, the general style that comes from his bones, is really Let him naturally become the center of the field.

Especially his expression when he was playing, like a killer with no emotions!
Li Weisi dribbled the ball across the half court unhurriedly, looked up at the time, and there were 18 seconds left. At this time, the opponent had already returned to the defensive position and had already lost the opportunity for a fast break. Li Weisi was not in a hurry to launch an attack, just like that Waiting for time to pass.

Every time Li Weisi takes a shot, it seems to be shot in front of the scene and in front of the TV. In the hearts of every Stanford University fan, at this moment, the rhythm of their heartbeat and the rhythm of Li Weisi's shot have reached a resonance.

This is the last 18 seconds of the whole game, the score is currently 72:72, yes, the two sides are tied, the ball is on the Stanford side, and then either lore or overtime.

Li Weisi stood two meters in front of the midfield logo, straightened his waist and controlled the ball casually, as if there was no one in front of him, but in fact, the defender in front of him, Johnny Dawkins, was born this year The ace guard of Duke University is predicted by the media to be a talented player in the lottery pick of this year's NBA draft.

Dawkins is one meter away from Li Weisi at this moment, with his hands stretched out. The reason why he put it so big is naturally to prevent breakthroughs and shots. Once he pastes it, Li Weisi will definitely break through. The scene of this game has already happened to him , performed countless times.

Therefore, although he knew that Li Weisi's shots were accurate, he didn't have Shi Lezhi, so he ran to the midfield to guard against other people's shots.

"9 seconds, 8 seconds..."

Sure enough, Stanford University center Matthews in the penalty area was activated, ready to pull out to play a pick-and-roll for Li Weisi according to the tactics mentioned by the previous coach, and the strikers on both sides were also ready to start running tactics.

This simple [-]th position pick-and-roll has been performed countless times in today's game, but until the end of the game, Duke University still couldn't completely defend against this tactic, so the nerves of the Duke University players suddenly tensed up. Keep an eye on the person you need to defend.

But Li Weisi's next move made everyone stop, including the opponent's.

Li Weisi stretched out his left hand and pushed it away, signaling them not to come over.

Although the teammates didn't understand, they still obeyed Li Weisi's wishes. After all, they had seen too many miracles created by Li Weisi, and because the opponents they needed to defend were not moving, they would not act rashly.

Then a miraculous scene appeared. From the eyes of the audience at the scene and in front of the TV, it was clearly an action by Li Weisi that stopped everyone on the court, including the opponent.

It seems that Li Weisi can not only command teammates, but also command opponents.

"4 seconds, 3 seconds..."

The passage of time will not change because of the dramatic scene on the court. Seeing that the time is running out, finally, Li Weisi started to act.

Li Weisi quickly collected the ball, stepped back, shot, and shot. Li Weisi, who has been on the court for more than 36 minutes, shot so fast that he was not affected by physical exertion at all.

Although it was shot from the chest to the head, the movement was not standard, but it was still very chic.

Dawkins was caught off guard. He never thought that Li Weisi would make a shot at this time and at this location. However, his subconscious blocking didn't have any effect at all. All his movements seemed so pale and powerless in front of a distance of two meters. .

"2 seconds, 1 seconds..."

The basketball passed over Dawkins' hand, and flew a super high parabola in the air, with a strong back spin, and flew towards the basket.

Seeing that she had crossed the highest point and was about to fall, suddenly a huge figure in the front row stood up, raised her fists and shouted in celebration, thus completely blocking her sight.

"I..." Marisa really wanted to say something sweet, but she had no time to do so. She quickly stood up, but saw that the pause button seemed to be pressed on the entire field, and all the players were staring at the basket in a daze. .

Marisa looked anxiously at the timing card again, "0 seconds".

The number on the timer went to zero.

"Have you entered? Or not?" Marisa was full of doubts.

The audience was silent for a while, and time seemed to be frozen. The fans forgot to cheer or cry, the teammates forgot to celebrate, the head coach Montgomery and the opposing coach K both forgot to keep pulling their hair.

Only Li Weisi seemed unaffected. As early as when the ball was still spinning in the air, he had already turned around, with a calm face, turned his back to the basket, took two steps forward, and stood on the logo of the midfielder, as if he was the leader of the world. Center, raise your hands high, greet the next moment with cheers.

Sure enough, the next second, Mike Breen's voice resounded throughout the audience.

"BANG! BANG! BANG! West Lee beat the Duke Blue Devils!" The voice of the live commentator Mike Breen seemed to wake up the audience, and cheers came as promised.

Marisa was hugged by her younger brother Adam, but she was crazily calling West Lee's name. At this moment, Marissa was stunned. Did the goal actually go in?How did he get in so far?

Thinking of this, Marisa couldn't help but looked at the fat man in the front row with resentful eyes. The fat man who blocked her just now was all to blame for this fat man.

However, apart from the resentment, Marisa had another question in her heart, how could this guy know the goal was scored in advance?
