Chapter Nineteen

With one hour left before the start of the game, Wu Huang was nervous and still a little confused. Christine asked him for two tickets today, why did he want two?

Coincidentally, Taylor Swift also asked him for two tickets yesterday, which made him suspicious again. What he was most worried about was that the two girls would meet.

"It shouldn't be. The tickets I gave them were 108,000 miles apart, and it was difficult to find them with a telescope." Wu Huang gave the tickets to two girls, one on the east side of the stadium and the other on the west side of the stadium. Besides, they shouldn't know each other, so there is no need to worry.

The game was played at the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, home of USC. The stadium, which can accommodate up to 42,000 people, only 25,000 seats were opened today because only so many tickets were sold.

The NCAA preseason attendance rate is definitely not as good as the regular season. It is good to have so many people watching the game today.

"Please pay attention to the position inside. Bart and Wu Huang want to grab rebounds. Even if we give up some fast break opportunities, we must protect the rebound first." Floyd was worried that Tabitt would get too many frontcourt rebounds. His height of 221cm is too terrible in the NCAA. Wu Huang's rebounding ability is more than most guard players, so he can participate in rebounding.

"The outside line uses blocking defense. You must block the pass to Tabit and block the pass route." Floyd does not know Tabit's offensive ability very well, but the scout report states that Tabit has greatly improved his inside shooting ability this season, so he made a gesture to his players and said: "After seeing this gesture, you will press the opponent's center in the penalty area."

The USC players whispered to the order, and were nervously waiting for Floyd to announce tonight's starting lineup.

Floyd swept his eyes to the players in front of him, only Gibson and Wu Huang's expressions were the most calm, and there was no tension as before the battle. Looking at DeRozan again, the boy was obviously nervous. Floyd knew that he was not nervous about the upcoming game, but about whether he would start.

"Today's starting lineup, point guard: Hugo, shooting guard..." Floyd said this, and indeed saw DeRozan looking expectant, and smiled secretly in his heart: "Score guard: Nathan Bauch, small forward: Bart Bray, power forward: Ty Gibson, center: Barnard Bennham.

DeRozan didn't hear his name, and his head suddenly lowered. He felt either frustrated or angry. He didn't think Nathan Bauch could compare to him, why could he replace him as the starter?

"I am the scoring champion of Nike's peak game and the dunk king of McDonald's slam dunk contest. Who is more famous here than me?" DeRozan still doesn't understand the team's intentions. If he continues to play with this idea, he will not be able to play in the preseason.

In the locker room at the University of Connecticut, Coach Jim Cahon, 64, focused on the most famous players on the opponent's team, just like Floyd.

Who is the most famous at the University of Southern California? Of course it is Demar DeRozan.

As for Wu Huang, even many students from the USC now do not know that their team has such a number, let alone these other league teams.

"Note their first-year student Demar DeRozan, this is a talented defender. As long as we keep a close eye on him, this team will not be able to make waves." Jim Cajun asked for a double-team defense against DeRozan to completely block their biggest threat.

At 19:50, 10 minutes before the start of the game, the commemorative stadium was already full of people. More than 20,000 fans were waving flags and shouting for the home team. The sexy and hot cheerleaders on the court were using hot dances to drive the atmosphere on the scene.

In a small college league, the atmosphere on the scene is no less than that of the NBA, and this is the charm of the NCAA.

The Trojans' live commentator suddenly whistled in a passionate voice: "The Trojans have entered the field, let us welcome the heroes to the field, they are the best!"

When the lights in the memorial stadium dimmed, the passionate voice of the live commentary made the entire stadium boil!

However, when they saw a yellow man with black hair and yellow skin, the first person to walk out of the player channel, the originally deafening cheers suddenly stopped. The racial discrimination that had already penetrated into the bones made them subconsciously unwilling to give such a warm cheer to a yellow man.

Emperor Wu remained calm, but felt deeply humiliated because he heard someone in the crowd shouting "Get back to China". Although there were not many, he also felt that he had suffered great insults.

When Gibson saw that the situation was wrong, he quickly asked Bart to enter the venue as soon as possible.

Bart, with white skin, hurried out of the player passage, and the entire stadium heard cheers like tsunami...

Taylor Swift and Emma Roberts, holding psp3000, sat in the west stands. When he saw Wu Huang appearing first, Taylor Swift was cheering, but the fans around him suddenly became mute, which made her not very satisfied.

Of course, she was even more dissatisfied with Emma Roberts playing games there. She snatched the PSP3000 in the little girl's hand and said angrily: "I'll ask you to come to the game, okay?"

Emma Roberts curled his lips: "I don't like basketball, who told you to force me to come." After saying that, he looked at the court lazyly and muttered: "Why is it dark? When will the game start?"

In the front row of the east stands of the stadium, Christine and Emma Watson with sunglasses also came to the stadium to watch the game.

"This is your relationship? I didn't see your appearance clearly last time. I'm pretty handsome, but he doesn't seem to be very popular." Emma Watson whispered. She is not a strong man who was forced to be brought by Christine. British girls have always liked basketball. Now there are free tickets. Of course, she has to follow Christine to watch the game.

"He is a freshman, and fans will like him soon." Kristen looked at the big screen of the stadium, and Wu Huang stood on the court with no expression. I don't know if he was angry.

Of course, Emperor Wu was angry, and he was about to get angry!

He had just heard clearly that a front-row fan shouted at him again: "Chink, goback to China." This is already a blatant insult. Chink means the same as white people insulting black "niggers", which is an insulting Western name for Chinese.

As the captain of the team, Ty Gibson was the last to walk out of the player channel. The cheers he received were the biggest in the game, and the posters in the stadium were also the most.

"I will be treated like this soon!" Wu Huang looked at the stadium with only a few Asians holding their own pictorials, knowing that these must be local Chinese, and secretly set a goal for himself. By the time of the national championship, his posters must be the most in the stadium.

"Look, that guy is so tall!" Bart shouted from the side.

After all the Trojans players entered the court, the lights in the stadium were turned on again. Wu Huang followed his gaze and saw a conspicuous black man walking out of the visiting team's players' passage. This man was one head taller than all the players of Kangda.

"He is Tabit, it's really high." Emperor Wu had never seen Yao Ming. This Tabit was the highest basketball player he had ever seen. "At such a height, standing under the basket alone would have unimaginable deterrence." Emperor Wu thought to himself.

Gibson said beside the two, "Everyone should be careful. This Tabit is not bad in athletic ability and is not very clumsy. If he is in the penalty area, you must be careful when shooting."

Emperor Wu and Bart nodded quickly, they didn't want to be hated by this guy.

When the home fans saw Tabit, they were attracted by his height for a while. Many fans began to worry. Uncle Mu's nickname is too heavy. If this big man is really like Uncle Mu back then, it would be difficult to deal with.

After the players of the two teams entered the court, they began to warm up on the court and greeted each other.

The NCAA is different from the high school league where violent conflicts often occur. College players have matured their minds. Strictly speaking, they are already semi-professional players, and the league punishes stadium violence in an extremely serious way, so there are fewer incidents of stadium violence in college.

Emperor Wu also found a familiar face at the University of Connecticut, and he met Kemba Walker, the opposite first-year point guard, at the McDonald's All-Star Game.

"Hi, Hugo." Kemba Walker also recognized Wu Huang. The two had no contact in private, but the players who participated in the "McDonald's Star Game" and "Nike Peak Game" together left contact numbers with each other.

Emperor Wu naturally had Kemba Walker's phone number, and their relationship was at the level of sending group text messages to each other during holidays.

The two briefly talked about their own experiences in college. After Kemba Walker knew that Wu Huang was already the starting lineup of the team, he felt a little envious. He was now suppressed by Jerome Dawson, a senior, and was temporarily just the team's substitute point guard.

Ten minutes later, the three referees communicated today's penalty standards and ordered the two teams to be substitutes to get off the game and the game was about to begin.

"Hey, why did our talented defender go down?" Many fans at the University of Southern California were confused when they saw DeRozan walk off the stadium.

"Yes, he is a genius we only recruited in a summer. Why don't he let him play the starter?" Some fans obviously know DeRozan very well and can't figure out why Nathan Bowch, who has no three-point ability and has a bad breakthrough with the ball, starter.

"OJ Mayo started in the first game, DeRozan is no worse than Mayo, what is Floyd doing?" Some fans vented their dissatisfaction on the head coach.

Kangda's head coach Jim Kahon also looked suspiciously at Floyd. I wonder what the guy on the other side is doing. Is there any injury to DeRozan?

USC starter lineup: Wu Huang, Nathan Bauch, Bart Bray, Ty Gibson, Barnard Bennham.
