He just played basketball and became the chosen one.

Ryan completely defeated Roy Williams, causing Kansas, the favorite to win the championship, to be eliminated early.

In addition, Ryan also won the MVP of the Midwest Division without any suspense.

This game undoubtedly pushed Ryan's popularity to the top.

Although on the other side, Agua also led Syracuse University to the Final Four as a freshman.

But Syracuse University's recent games have really had little traffic.

Let’s not talk about the first three rounds. The teams Angua encountered were not very strong, and the games were not topical.

The opponent of Syracuse University in the quarterfinals, the University of Oklahoma, is another typical "college basketball team."

They emphasize teamwork, each player is average, and the overall strength is strong, but they lack star flavor.

None of the players from the University of Oklahoma have NBA prospects, so naturally they can't create a topic with Anthony.

Therefore, although Anthony also entered the semi-finals, it was as if he had not entered. There was no news about him in the newspapers.

Even Ajan, who has not played in March Madness at all, has greater exposure than Anthony at this stage.

Because during this period, "ambiguous stories about Ajan and several sneaker manufacturers" are making a lot of noise.

Ryan, Anthony and James are undoubtedly the targets that all major star manufacturers are chasing after this summer.

They had also been chasing the three.

In the past few days, there have been rumors that Adidas is close to winning the contract with Youzhan, and the contract is rumored to be worth more than 60 million!

James hasn't even played in the NCAA yet, so it's quite an exaggeration to get such a contract offer.

But this also led to a new topic: "James, who was rubbed by Ryan for 9 points in a single game, already paid 60 million, so maybe Ryan's first sneaker contract will cost 70 million?"

The whole world is discussing these two players with huge commercial value, but Angua looks at these news with indifference.

Rumors are just rumors!

Because as far as Angua knows, AJ is currently the brand that is most interested in him, and the price they give him is about 3 million a year.

Even if you sign for 10 years in one go, it will only be 30 million.

So James and Ryan can easily get 60 million? 70 million? How can it be!

These news are definitely just the nonsense of a small group of reporters who don’t understand football or business.

After another month, those reporters will all turn into clowns!

For this reason, Angua also made a special call to Ryan:

"Nothing else, I just want to tell you not to be deceived by some unscrupulous agents.

Anyone who says they can sign you a sneaker contract worth more than 25 million is deceiving you and treating you like an enemy!

Also, don’t lose the semi-finals. The only one who can kill an ordinary genius like you is a super genius like me!

Hehe, I also want to see what is going on with that little vixen Devin Harris! "

After hanging up the phone, Ryan looked at the text message on his phone that said "We expect your first sneaker contract will be no less than 70 million" from Leon Rose. He thought about what Angua just said and couldn't help but sigh. tone.

Brother Gua, Brother Gua, sometimes I really don’t want to take the initiative to hurt you.

But the gap between people is sometimes bigger than the gap between dogs and people!

However, Ryan is not too interested in the value of the sneaker contract for the time being. At this time, he was focused on nothing but rushing to the finals to increase his popularity and commercial value while the iron was hot.

Last year, Ryan already defeated Ajan head-on. Now that he has won Angua, Ryan feels that his No. 1 pick is basically guaranteed!

This year, the teams entering the Final Four are Syracuse University, the University of Wisconsin, Wade's Marquette University and the University of Texas.

Syracuse University's opponent is the University of Texas, and Ryan has to compete with Wade first.

There is no doubt that in the semi-finals, Angua's popularity will be overshadowed by Ryan again.

Wade is extremely popular in the NCAA this season, because before the start of the season, he and Ryan were given the halo of "college students who defeated the Dream Team", so they have always attracted much attention.

Moreover, Wade’s experience is also very inspiring.

I had my meniscus removed in my freshman year, and my grades were so bad that I couldn't even play.

But he did not give up. He worked hard to recover while studying hard. Finally, he came back from injury in his sophomore year, his grades were up to standard, and he became a blockbuster.

In his junior year this year, Wade directly led the team to the semi-finals. Moreover, Wade was forced by his coach to make a rule because his shooting was unstable: "From now on, your breakthrough points will not count as points."

As a result, Wade has really mastered the mid-range this season.

Rebirth from Nirvana, from weak to strong, Wade's experience is enough to gain a lot of fans.

Wade VS Ryan is more gimmick than Syracuse University VS Texas.

Many Cleveland fans can only hope that Wade will defeat Ryan and end Ryan's legendary career in the NCAA.

The only one who can save Ajan is Wade!

Although Ryan defeated the University of Kansas in the last game, it was also the first time that Ryan was forced to win the game in the NCAA.

Ryan proved to be beatable.

His combat effectiveness, at the stage of the elite eight, no longer has a crushing advantage.

So as long as Wade works hard, it won't be a big problem to win over Ryan!

In an interview before the game, Wade also said with a smile: "I don't know the final result, but I shouldn't lose to Ryan by more than ten points, hahahaha."

Wade knew what was happening. Marquette University did not lose more than ten points to Ryan the next day, because they lost by 33 points in one breath!

After losing three games in one go, Wade said, "Brother, you're welcome!"

No one believed it, not even Wisconsin’s own fans.

We have already reached the semi-finals, can we still win by 33 points?

The hell did we underestimate Ryan?

In fact, to be fair, Ryan did not defeat Wade in this game.

Ryan had 24 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks, and Wade had 19 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

And during the game, Wade and Ryan both had the experience of getting into trouble with each other.

To be honest, in terms of personal performance, the gap between Wade and Ryan is very small.

but.

Wade's teammates all pulled!

Beau Ryan knows that Marquette relies too much on Wade's personal ability.

So today he asked Ryan to guard Wade alone. The others did not need to help defend or double-team. They just had to watch their own matchups.

In short, monogamy must be strictly followed and never changed casually!

Although Ryan failed to kill Wade, he easily allowed Wade to score 9 points in a single game like Ajan.

But it really didn't make Wade completely exposed.

Letting Wade score 19 points and shoot less than 45% from the field is a price that the University of Wisconsin can afford.

The other people at Marquette University were all tightly guarded, so they couldn't help at all.

The isolated Wade failed to save the team in the end. Marquette University's team's shooting percentage was limited to only 31.1%, which shows how strong the others are.

Steve Novak, the future three-point shooter in the NBA and Wade's most reliable assistant, did not get any open opportunities at all. He made 1 of 7 shots in the game, including 0 of 5 three-pointers.

Wade is also convinced. I usually see you pretty accurate, but why do you shoot like this in key games?

It’s not that I don’t believe you, brother, but why do you feel like you are playing me?

How could Wade have thought that in key games and the level of his teammates had dropped sharply for no apparent reason, he would probably relive this feeling 8 years later.

Just like that, Wisconsin unexpectedly slaughtered Marquette.

To reach the final four and still beat the opponent by more than 30 points is really scary.

Wade was very reluctant after the game, but there was nothing he could do. He has tried his best, and by reaching the semi-finals in March Madness this year, he has overfulfilled his task.

So after the game, Wade just smiled and hugged Ryan:

"The next time we meet, it will be in the NBA, brother!"

It can be seen that although he lost the game, Wade was not particularly defensive.

So who is the most defensive?

They are Cleveland fans who have nothing to do with this game!

Originally, it was said that Ryan almost overturned in the last game. Today, Vednu's hard work will definitely eliminate Ryan and save Ajan's draft situation.

As a result, Nima Lane won by 33 points?

this.

Ryan and Anthony are about to meet in the March Madness Finals, what will Ajan do? ?

When the brothers from the Class of 2003 sat down to eat and talk about March Madness, Ajan couldn't even get a word in, so he had to drink alone!

Moreover, Ryan and Angua both entered the finals, which actually increased Anthony's popularity.

Two super talents who were freshmen from the same school in high school finally met in the NCAA March Madness finals.

This is simply a hot-blooded comic plot.

So this time, Ajan suffered a double blow!

So much so that in ESPN's latest draft rankings, Ajan dropped directly to third place!

Katsumura: The second place is the biggest loser!

Next, no matter who wins or loses between Ryan and Anthony, it will make no difference to the Kremlin fans.

In the 2003 NBA draft, James is destined to be quite passive!

But for Ryan and Anthony, this game is of great significance!

This is the first time in NBA history that two No. 1 pick candidates in the same draft have faced off directly in the finals!

For Angua personally, this is also his last chance to make a comeback.

As for Ryan, in the two years since he became famous, he has killed James, Stoudemire, Meng Wu, Kansas and Wade.

He was like a top nightclub player who collected stamps like crazy for a year and played with all the top players of his age. Now, all that's left is Anthony!

This not only determines Ryan's draft pick, but also determines the size of the sneaker contract Ryan can get in the future!

If he really takes care of all the talent, he can lead Wisconsin to a championship-winning season.

There is no doubt that Ryan will have super treatment before entering the league.

The reason why he was not in a hurry for the 2002 draft but instead played in college for one year was to maximize his commercial value.

Even though he was drafted in 2002, he could still get a rookie contract worth several million. But based on Ryan's market situation in 2002, could Nike, Adidas, and Reebok give Ryan a contract offer of 60 to 70 million?

Moreover, Leon Rose only said "no less than 60 million" before, which means that if he can win the championship, the contract can still be negotiated!

Therefore, Ryan must win this battle in order for all his efforts to bear fruit!

Whether it's draft picks or commercial value, as long as you defeat Angua and win the championship, you will be able to surge upwards!

In this way, the whole world is hyping up this year's NCAA Finals.

Super genius VS super genius, Ryan and Anthony's March Madness finals are even considered to be the most high-profile finals after Michigan State VS Indiana University in the 1979 March Madness finals.

That's right, in the 1979 finals, the two leading actors were Big Bird and The Magician!

The comparison between these two games by the media and fans is enough to show how popular Ryan and Angua have become!

This was regarded as a legendary showdown worthy of being immortalized in history!

Louisiana, New Orleans, Superdome.

All 72,000 tickets were sold out early!

Because of the size of the basketball court, basketball games are basically not held in such a large venue.

NBA arenas can only accommodate 10,000 to 20,000 people.

Seventy thousand people were crowded together, and the spectators in the back row could not see clearly the small basketball court.

But this time in the final, even if the audience sitting in the back row couldn't see who was who on the field, they were still willing to buy tickets to experience the atmosphere of this legendary showdown.

At this point, who cares that St. Mary's High School hoisted the state championship trophy?

The night before the game, Harris was too excited to sleep in the hotel.

A year ago, he would never have imagined that he would appear on such a stage.

But Ryan's unexpected landing gave Harris a dream-like one-year college career.

He, who had never been noticed before, was selected to his respective national best team this season and appeared in his respective newspapers and magazines.

Harris knows very well that without Ryan, he would not be able to have all this!

This is the power of a foster father!

Ryan couldn't sleep either and lay on the bed tossing and turning.

Upon seeing this, Harris comforted Ryan: "It's okay, foster father, don't be too stressed. Even if you lose, even if you don't win the championship, the fans will definitely not blame you."

"Nervous? No Harris, as mature as me, won't be nervous.

I'm excited.

After we win the cup tomorrow, I'm going to talk about a project worth tens of millions! "

This afternoon, Wesley, who was hiding behind the scenes, flew to New Orleans in person and spent an afternoon with Ryan in his luxury suite talking about various matters and plans for the draft after graduating from college.

The sentence that Ryan remembers most clearly is:

"If you can win the championship, Ryan, I guarantee you will get an epoch-making contract just like Jordan's 30 million annual salary in 1996.

To put it bluntly, if you win, I guarantee that your sneaker contract amount will not be less than 80 million for 7 years!

That's right, current superstars like Kobe and Garnett don't get as much as you from their sneaker contracts!

So, take advantage of the opportunity! "

Ryan, who was only thinking about making money, heard this and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Ren is about to achieve his first small goal, how can he not be excited?

Harris looked at the confident Ryan, smiled and shook his head.

As a freshman, there are tens of millions of dollars in business and contracts at every turn.

Maybe the chosen ones and ordinary people are not on the same track at all.

Thanks to Yijie, Shiren, jager Mingjie and other big guys for the rewards, thank you all! I beg you to pursue it. If I didn’t pursue it, I would be dead. Thank you for your support!
