China is a big country, so the time difference in many places is different from that in Phoenix.

But generally speaking, the game in the United States is at 8 pm, and the game in China is in the morning.

This day is Wednesday in China, a working day.

If you go for a walk outside, you will find the following scene:

Any canteen with a big-ass TV hung on the wall would attract a considerable number of people to watch.

The majority of people there are students.

What students do not need to attend classes?

Skipping class!

Anyone who has experienced that era knows that skipping class and watching the NBA is a basic operation.

The NCAA finals attracted as much attention as the Rockets playoff games.

There are naturally many people.

Of course, there are also some "good teachers" who, under the banner of "burden reduction", directly project live broadcasts in the classroom!

Teacher: Not because I want to see it!

Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg, offices, fan clubs, bars, foot bath centers...

Fans are watching this live broadcast in various ways!

"Good morning to all the viewers in front of the TV. The game is about to start. Let's first introduce tonight's opponent, the University of Florida."

After the domestic live broadcast footage was shown, Yang Yi's excited commentary voice soon appeared.

He has been waiting for an opportunity, and now this opportunity has finally come!

From the very beginning of his explanation, you could tell that he had made a lot of preparations for tonight.

You must know that although the University of Florida is a household name in the United States, domestic fans basically don’t understand it.

This is also the reason why there is such a disparity in voting ratios in a certain wave of surveys.

Unfamiliarity is one of the reasons.

In addition to the players, Yang Yi even gave a detailed introduction to Donovan, the head coach of the University of Florida.

Donovan is 42 years old, the same age as Michael Dell.

Last year, when he was 41 years old, he led his team to win the NCAA championship. He is fully worthy of the title of "young coach".

His characteristics are that he is good at creating a team atmosphere, able to make the best use of players, and has excellent on-the-spot command. He is especially good at spotting tricks and taking advantage of the situation.

We can get a glimpse of this from the previous game between the University of Florida and Purdue University. The full-court press in the second half was amazing.

No one's success is accidental. Yang Yi can become a leader in the industry because he put in a lot of hard work when he was young.

As for the black-hearted T-shirt, that’s a story for another day.

In the Three Kingdoms, Dong Zhuo defeated bandits and bandits in Xiliang before entering Beijing, became a general and became a marquis, and became a general like Lu Zhi. Later, he staged the story of "the boy who slays the dragon eventually turns into an evil dragon".

It is difficult for people to remain consistent for decades.

Talking back to the game, after Yang Yi’s introduction, domestic fans finally had a basic understanding of the University of Florida.

And their feelings at this moment became: Damn it, the opponent in the finals of the University of Texas is so strong!

Their voting on a certain wave was a bit hasty before!

Of course, it is impossible for their opponents to be very strong to affect their support for the University of Texas.

On the contrary, it makes them look forward to the University of Texas even more!

The stronger the opponent, the more enjoyable it is to win!

On the court, players on both sides are still warming up.

Durant seems to be in pretty good shape, and his warm-up shots were perfect.

After the warm-up was over, he did not forget to wink at Lin Ying.

This guy, after falling in love, entered the recovery mode of all things!

After the warm-up, the scene entered into the opening ceremony.

The University of Texas took the lead.

When Lin Ying and Durant were introduced, the Texas fans present showed the world the madness of their Lone Star Republic.

The flag is waving, and it feels like there is a competition between countries in front of you!

President George W. Bush will cry after watching this!

But...the fans at the University of Florida are even more enthusiastic!

As the defending champion, we have a great chance to complete two consecutive epic championships this year. It would be strange not to be excited!

When the live footage was shown to the audience on the sidelines, it also captured many celebrities.

At the University of Florida, in addition to NBA alumnus "White Chocolate" Williams, there was also an official, the current governor of Florida, Charlie Crist!

For the University of Texas, this time except TJ Ford, all the Tridents from last year are here.

The NBA is on hiatus, and my alma mater has entered the finals. No matter how far the distance is, I still have to come here!

And Michael Dell is at it again!

This boss looks like he loves basketball!

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were announced one after another.

University of Florida: Taurean Green, Lee Humphrey, Corey Brewer, Al Horford, Joakim Noah!

Donovan has changed his formation!

He removed Richard, who had been starting before, and replaced him with Horford.

Horford has better mobility and better flexibility than Richard. Whether he is facing Lin Ying or Durant, he can match up.

University of Texas: Augustin, Abrams, James, Durant, Lin Ying.

Barnes still insists on a small lineup.

After seeing the starting lineup of the University of Texas, Donovan showed an "understood" expression, and started to draw up tactics with the players.

At the University of Texas, Barnes also took the time to deliver the most crucial bowl of chicken soup to his players.

"I know that after tonight's game, many people will leave this venue and go to a higher basketball stage.

So I want to say, this is the last game for your university.

There is no next game, nor next year, only this one!

But don't be nervous, let alone be afraid.

Because you defeated Georgetown, North Carolina, Kansas, and Ohio State to get here!

In my mind, you are even better than the University of Florida tonight!

The two most important days in life, the first is the day you were born, the second is the day you know why you were born.

I think our team is born to win championships!

Just today! Right here!!”

As soon as Barnes' chicken soup went down that night, goosebumps fell all over the players of the University of Texas.

Gan! Gan! Gan!

"beep!"

The short whistle sounded on the sidelines, and the final preparation time was up.

The starting players from both sides have appeared one after another, and the final battle of the 2007 Crazy Three has finally begun!

Lin Ying and Horford's jump ball in midfield.

In fact, if you take a look at Horford, you will know that Lin Ying can definitely go to the NBA to play power forward.

Horford's barefoot height is only 2.03 meters, and his wingspan of 2.15 meters is not even as good as Lin Ying's. Even his jumping and strength are about half a catty as Lin Ying.

The biggest difference is that Lin Ying has not yet developed an offense with the ball.

It can even be hypothesized that if Lin Ying did not play in the NCAA in the same year as Horford, he would be more like Lin Ying's template than Marion and Odom.

"beep!"

The referee's whistle blew, and the two men jumped up almost at the same time. Lin Ying used his wingspan advantage to move the ball back to half court.

"The game begins!"

With Yang Yi's shout, the game officially started!

On the court, Lin Ying, who had finished jumping the ball, had already quickly penetrated into the hinterland of the University of Kansas' penalty area.

James, who was originally ambushing the University of Florida half court during the jump ball, took the initiative to trap Horford.
