The yellow storm in the NBA

This year's Big 12 League Texas Longhorns team stands out. Throughout the regular season, only the University of Kansas, led by Chalmers and Brandon Rush, narrowly defeated the Longhorns by one point. The other teams faced off against the Longhorns.

Longhorns pose no threat.

In addition, they lost two games against teams from other divisions, but kept winning all other games. In the playoffs, the Longhorns swept all their opponents and successfully advanced to the national championship as the Big 12 Conference champions.

And with a record of 32 wins and 3 losses, it became the No. 2 seed in the South Division. The No. 1 seed in the South Division is Ohio State, which has another No. 1 pick, Greg Oden.

As the seed teams in other divisions across the country have been established, finally, the NCAA's March Madness is here.

As the No. 2 seed in the South Region, the Longhorns' first opponent was New Mexico State University. Like other opponents in the regular season, New Mexico State University did not pose any threat to the Longhorns and won without a fight.

, successfully advanced to the second round.

The opponent in the second round is the University of Southern California. This school has considerable strength under the leadership of Ty Gibson and is considered a tough opponent.

Ty Gibson is the ace power forward of the University of Southern California. He has a very explosive style of play, is very mobile, and is very good at offense and defense. Moreover, he has played in college for three seasons and is a very experienced player. If he

After announcing his participation in this year's draft, I believe there will be a team that selects him in the lottery.

Moreover, the Longhorns in the previous life were defeated by the University of Southern California in the second round and ultimately missed the Sweet 16. But now that the Longhorns have Quan Xiao, I believe this game will definitely have a different spark.

On March 24, 2007, at the American West Arena, home of the Phoenix Suns (I didn’t find out where the game was played, so I arranged it randomly), the upcoming 32-16 game of the NCAA men’s basketball game was played here.

The Texas Longhorns with Durant and the USC Trojans with Taj Gibson.

This game attracted the attention of a large number of people. Not only was it broadcast live on local TV stations in the states where the two teams are located, but many NBA managers and scouts came to watch the game in person. Of course, there were also some current stars.

Well-known sports media in the United States such as ESPN, T*NT and Sports Illustrated also sent their own reporters to cover the game.

This gives players on both sides greater motivation, because they understand that if they perform well in this game, it will be of great help to their draft prospects. Therefore, everyone is gearing up and wants to show off their skills in this game.

Attract the attention of NBA teams.

The courtside of this game was also star-studded, filled with famous NBA stars and managers and scouts of some teams. Because it was the home court of the Suns, almost all the players from the Suns were here. In addition, there were

Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady of the Rockets, last year's second overall pick LaMarcus Aldridge, and second-round pick P.J. Tucker, etc.

Quan Xiao could understand the arrival of Aldridge and Tucker. After all, it was this team that went out to cheer for the team. But the appearance of Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady still surprised Quan Xiao.

Nash and Stoudemire were sitting on the sidelines because it was at their home court, which was convenient anyway. But it was puzzling that Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady came from Houston to watch the game. After all, the distance was quite far. But when I think of Quan Xiao on the Texas team,

He is also from China, so it is understandable that he comes to cheer for his compatriots.

Before the game started, Quan Xiao took advantage of the warm-up period and walked to the sidelines to greet Yao Ming and get to know him. After all, he is his senior and the mainstay of his country. He may be a teammate of the national team in the future. What's more, he is himself.

My favorite real-life basketball player in my past life.

"Hello, Brother Yao! I'm Quan Xiao. I'm very happy that you can come to watch my game today. I really want to go to Toyota Center to watch your game, but unfortunately I haven't been able to make the trip!"

"Good boy, I watched your game and you did a good job! Work hard today and try to take the opponent one step further." Yao Ming said, reaching out and patting Quan Xiao on the shoulder.

"I will, thank you Brother Yao for your encouragement."

"Let me introduce to you, this is my teammate Tracy McGrady, you can call him T-MAC. Hi, T-MAC, this is Quan Xiao from China." Yao Ming took the opportunity to introduce Quan Xiao to Tracy McGrady.

know.

"Hi, T-MAC, actually I've known you for a long time and I'm your fan. I particularly like your dry moves, but it's a pity that I haven't learned how to do it and can't be as elegant as you."

"Hi, brother, I'm glad to meet you too. Like Yao, I have also watched your game. Your three-pointers are very good. Keep up the good work. We will compete against each other in the NBA in the future." McGrady stretched out his hand and shook Quan Xiao's hand.

.

"Okay, Brother Yao, T-MAC, I have to go warm up. This game is not easy to win, and the opponent is also very capable."

"Okay, you go ahead! Let's have dinner together after the game." Yao Ming said in Chinese.

Quan Xiao ran back onto the court to warm up with his teammates and prepare for today's game. McGrady on the other side asked curiously what Yao Ming said to Quan Xiao in the end.

Yao Ming smiled and told him that he invited Quan Xiao to have dinner with him after the game. This is a Chinese tradition. He also asked if he wanted to join him. McGrady smiled and refused to respond because he was afraid of being fined by the NBA.

Because the NBA has strict requirements, relevant personnel of each team are prohibited from contacting NCAA players privately, so as to avoid causing some private transaction scandals and disrupting the balance among NBA teams.

But Yao Ming doesn't care. He just wants to get acquainted with this little brother and deepen their relationship. After all, if he can eventually enter the NBA, it will be of great benefit to the development of Chinese basketball.

As for whether he will be fined by the NBA, Yao Ming has not considered this. Even if he is fined, he does not care. He cares more about Quan Xiao's performance and hopes that Quan Xiao can eventually enter the NBA. For this reason, he does not mind taking this opportunity to teach him

some experience.

After Quan Xiao came back, some of his teammates were curious about what he said to Yao Ming. Quan Xiao smiled and said he just wanted to say hello and get to know each other briefly. Then he told everyone that they should play hard in today's game and perform well to defeat their opponents.

, we have to go to the end and win the championship.

"Kevin, you may be focused on by your opponent today, so you can try to pass the ball more today and cooperate more between the three of you, especially between you and Quan."

Coach Barnes began to lay out today's main tactics, "Quan, if necessary, you can attack with the ball today. We need you to open this up as soon as possible, so that the defensive pressure faced by Kevin will be reduced a lot. Do you understand?

"

"Understood, sir!" Durant and Quan Xiao replied in unison.

"Augustin, today we started with you as the main point of attack. The opponent definitely didn't expect that I would use you as the main point of attack, so you need to be on full fire from the beginning of the game and take advantage of Kevin to draw the opponent's defensive attention away.

Attack the city and take out the stronghold, can you do it?"

"No problem, sir!" Augustine replied loudly.

"Damai, Dexter, your main task today is to grab rebounds and guard, pay special attention to Ty Gibson on the opposite side, try to keep him outside the paint area, do you understand?

"Understood, sir, I promise to complete the task!"

"Okay, let's go! Let's defeat our opponent and advance to the next round. Longhorns, GO! GO! GO!"

"Victory! Victory! Victory!" the Longhorns players gathered in a circle and shouted in unison with their hands together.

On the other side, the USC Trojans are also full of murderous energy, and a wonderful battle is about to take place.
