Chapter 166 Spartan style of play
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the national finals of the 2008-09 NCAA season finally kicked off at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the home of the Pistons. For this reason, the NBA did not even arrange any games on this day, making way for the NCAA.This also made the entire Palace of Auburn Hills crowded, the tickets were already sold out, and many fans who hadn't bought tickets were still lingering outside the arena.

Anyway, this is also the final chapter of the NCAA’s annual season. Although the two teams this year are not traditional giants like North Carolina and Duke, they each have their own highlights. It is normal to attract a large number of fans from all over the United States to watch. things.

Since it is the national finals, the atmosphere on the scene is also different from other competitions.When the Arizona State University players entered the field to warm up, they were taken aback by the enthusiasm of the fans. When they walked out of the player tunnel, many fans sitting near the exit stretched their arms hard to give them high fives. From a distance, it looks like a mottled forest.

After finally coming to the arena to start warming up, Ayers still had some lingering fears. As the tallest person in the team, naturally more hands were stretched out to him. He patted his chest and said, "God, I didn't expect the national finals to be like this." The atmosphere, it just scared me, I thought they were going to jump off the stands and snatch my jersey! These fans are so crazy!"

Others did not laugh at Ailes. Kux, who has played the longest in the team, said leisurely: "The team has also entered the championship in recent years, but has never been able to step on this stage. Even if we lose tonight After the game, I have no regrets."

As soon as Cooks finished speaking, he was ridiculed by Harden, saying that he did not have the ambition to beat Michigan State to win the championship.Cook's face was flushed, and he said loudly: "Don't provoke me, isn't it just a Michigan State University? Today I will win the championship trophy with the team and fulfill the dream of the head coach. It can also be used to brag about playing in other places!"

Everyone laughed it off, but they also knew that Cooks was telling the truth.Among Arizona State University's starting five tigers, he is the only one who failed to get into the eyes of various experts. He is also not listed in different versions of rookie draft predictions issued by the media. It is already difficult to get a chance to join the NBA.If he still wants to continue playing, it may be a good choice to go to overseas leagues.

After the warm-up, the players walked back to the locker room in twos and threes against the waving arms of the fans, making final preparations for the game.This time Evans did not take out his own tactical board to point out Jiangshan, but said: "I don't need to say more about tactics, as long as you go on the field and play your own level, that's enough, you all understand ?"

"Understood!" The loud voice echoed in the locker room, and a smile appeared on Evans' wrinkled old face. This is also the last game of his coaching career, and he will leave his beloved stadium after that to recuperate. years.Although he said that as long as the players try their best to fight, in fact, the old man still hopes to win a championship.

The electronic clock on the big screen at the scene is moving towards the 8 o'clock position little by little, and the entire arena is filled with cheers and whistles from fans. At least today, this place is the focus of the entire United States. Fans, experts and NBA teams are all looking here. They really want to know who can win the final championship and who can shine in the game?
When the players from both sides re-entered the field, Izzo frowned slightly when he saw the high spirits of the players from Arizona State University, but he soon relaxed. Before he held a press conference, he only played two games with the date and no date. pole idea.Although the other party was not affected, he had no loss, but the next thing was to have a real fight with swords and guns.

In this game, Izzo still sent out the starting lineup that he used most conveniently, and he didn't want to make a surprise attack at such a time. It would be bad if he killed himself.His starting five are naturally based on the main point guard Lucas, and the other four positions are shooting guard Travis Walton, small forward Remar Morgan, power forward Delvon Rowe and center Goliath. Lan Sutton, in fact, Morgan and Luo are exactly the same height, except that one of them plays the outside line and the other plays the inside line.

On the bench are two other guards with outstanding scoring ability, Derell Summers and Chris Allen. They are also the leaders of Michigan State's bench lineup, responsible for going up to maintain the offense after the starters leave the field. Firepower.

From the very beginning of the match, Xu Hao felt the opponent's deep "maliciousness".As soon as he dribbled the ball across the half-court, Lucas immediately followed up, sticking tightly to his side, which made Xu Hao very uncomfortable.The referee didn't say anything, maybe it was because the game was too strict at the beginning of the game. Seeing the referee's reaction, Lucas became even more unscrupulous. He almost hung on Xu Hao, trying hard to get out of his hands Take the ball away, it's like a mad dog.

Xu Hao shook his head and threw the ball to Harden. It was the first time that he encountered such a high-intensity defense at the beginning of the game. He even reached the verge of calling for a foul. Could it be that they plan to continue like this for the entire game? ?
However, not only Xu Hao, but also the other players of the Sun Devils were treated with "enthusiasm" by their opponents. They seemed to not care about their physical fitness at all. As long as they saw someone holding the ball, they would immediately pounce on it, and physical confrontation was commonplace.The relatively thin Hayward was accidentally staggered by Luo, the basketball was immediately taken away by the opponent, and the ball was directly handed over.

When playing a fast-break counterattack, the Spartans players also rushed against the defense with a hard bridge. The desperate force forced Cooks and Harden, who quickly returned to the defense, to retreat again and again, and finally Lucas made a layup and scored first for the team.

Evans rushed to the sidelines, with an unbelievable look on his face, and shouted at the referee: "Didn't you see that? It was a foul just now! A complete foul! Why do you even turn a blind eye to such an obvious foul?" ?”

The referee did not answer directly, but said with a serious face: "Sir, please calm down, and then sit back in your seat. Naturally, the referee has the final say on whether there is a foul. But if you continue to stand here, you may I want to eat a T."

Evans was stunned, turned back angrily, sat back on his chair, stared at the referee without saying a word, he was really afraid of getting a technical foul for himself.But if the referee allows Michigan State to play like this, then its own players will be in danger!
