A different point guard road

March 18.

Auckland.

UCLa's game against Texas started at the Warriors' home court.

This is a third-party stadium for both parties, which is fair.

.....

March Crazy is a carnival all over the United States. During March Crazy, NBA will not become the focus, and their ratings will be reduced, because fans here are basically paying attention to NCAA.

Predicting who is the final champion is an event that everyone participates in.

NCAA's crazy March has been out of the scope of basketball in this regard.

For players, March Crazy represents a basketball dream.

This is the highest stage that many college students have come into contact with in their lifetime.

The few who can enter the NBA are among the few.

Only Oden, Durant, Lin Rui and other prides will eventually embark on the path of professional basketball.

More people choose a job that has nothing to do with basketball, and basketball has completely become a hobby.

Therefore, for many people, the beginning of the basketball dream is also the end of the basketball dream.

To become a national champion, you only need to win six games, but you only need to lose one game in the process, then pack up your bedding and go home.

For those players who play NCAA in the last year, whether they have to run for election or graduate, if they lose, it may really be a pity.

1 pm.

Lin Rui followed his teammates on the bus and headed to the stadium.

Along the way, Lin Rui couldn't believe that this was a NCAA game.

Countless fans welcomed each other on the way.

This is not Los Angeles, but just a neutral stadium.

But this is more fans than Lin Rui has played in any game before.

Oracle Center Arena is an NBA-level Arena, which can accommodate about 20,000 fans.

It was full of an hour before the race.

Not only is it full of here, but there are also a bunch of fans who have not bought tickets at the entrance, which also fills the square.

In the arena, the reporter area is also crowded with people.

This game was the focus of the first day's game.

The main star showdown is Lin Rui and Durant.

Lin Rui and Durant's height and wingspan are very similar, and their technical abilities are also similar, such as dribbling and shooting, both of them have shown different abilities from their height.

Then both of them are now both top ten picks.

This made the two of them quite exciting.

.........

In the locker room.

Lin Rui spoke to his parents on the phone.

Since Lin Rui's game was broadcast live in China, his parents will turn on the TV to watch basically every game.

Which parent doesn’t care about their son’s future?

Lin Rui is about to participate in the talent show, just like they helped Lin Rui prepare for the college entrance examination back then.

Both parents are worried.

Lin Rui also agreed to his parents that if he entered the small green house at that time, he would let them come to the scene.

There is no need to go crazy March now, and Lin Rui doesn’t want to be too distracted.

As March Crazy, Lin Rui's pressure has also increased. In addition to the attention of his parents, there is also the pressure given by fans all the time.

More and more domestic calls have brought Lin Rui into the 2008 Olympic roster.

To be honest, Lin Rui also wants to play at the Olympics held at home, and that Olympic stage is exciting!

But he needs to perform better now and help himself gain a more stable position.

....

It's almost done by the players.

Bruins head coach Ben Holland brought all the players together.

“I don’t want to emphasize how important this game is.”

"If you don't try your best, you will regret it!"

"The opponent has the strength to defeat us, and we need to devote ourselves from the first round."

"Not for others, just for your own basketball dreams!"

"Win tonight's game!"

...

Ben Holland is a coach who is very suitable for blood. After a while, the whole team was flirted with passion.

"It will win!"

"It will win!"

"It will win!"

When Lin Rui appeared in the player channel, he could already hear the cheers at the scene.

"Ucla, come on!"

“Kd, come on!”

"Lin, kill them."

After the appearance ceremony began, the scene became very manic!!

The continued cheers of the fans brought the momentum to the peak!!

The separate appearances of Lin Rui and Durant were the most cheerful and climaxing moments for fans on both sides.

Standing on the court and seeing the densely packed fans, Lin Rui was excited. He could not wait to show his talent here.

The seed ranking of the University of Texas is much lower than that of UCL, and in the outside world, UCL also has more opportunities to advance.

Of course, the probability of this promotion is not 100%.

The probability of a single knockout match here is too high.

The pre-match ceremony was completed soon.

Soon, the competition officially began.

University of Texas: Augustine, Majerry, Durant, Martin, Pittman.

ucla: Lin Rui, Corison, Avraro, Ship, Real.

UCLa sent out a two-point guard lineup.

After the game started, it was not arranged according to normal tactics.

The first round.

Lin Rui broke into the inside with the help of Real's cover, and Lin Rui flew on the layup and hit Pittman who stood firm.

The ball was called by the referee for an offensive foul.

Then he turned around and came to the defensive end, Durant attacked Lin Rui in the first round.

Durant's change of direction, Lin Rui moved horizontally.

Durant broke out decisively, Lin Rui carried it over!!

"Bang!"

Two people collided!

Durant fell to the ground. He was too thin and he was suffering from fighting Lin Rui like this!

“Beebeep!!”

But the referee called Lin Rui to block it!

Lin Rui was speechless.

Durant applauded Lin Rui fiercely.

His purpose was achieved.

“omg!!!”

“UClah is in trouble.”

"Lin Rui committed two offenders."

In just one minute, Lin Rui committed two fouls in a row!

Ben Holland immediately made a substitution gesture.

Westbrook made a substitute for Lin Rui!!

No one would have thought that Lin Rui's fouls would come so quickly.

ncaa was the five offenders who left the field.

This is not good news for UCL. Lin Rui is very likely not to be on the court most of the first half.

Lin Rui himself returned to the bench in depressed manner.

This is the first time he has been playing NCAA so quickly because the two fouls were sitting on the sidelines, and they still have some experience.

Holland did not blame Lin Rui, but immediately began to dispatch troops.

The University of Texas continues to attack.

Durant found a misalignment with Collison, and then made a sudden move, and hit Collison at a high position to hit the middle distance.

"Swish!"

2 to 0

Durant directly helped the University of Texas open up the situation.

Collison is too short to cause too much interference to Durant

But soon, UCL responded. Westbrook rushed forward at high speed when he received the serve. Westbrook used his breakthrough to force the two of them, and carried Pittman to make a layup to score the ball.

2 to 2.

The future Thunder King Blast confronted in the first round.

Lin Rui was also surprised at Westbrook's speed.

It was much faster at the beginning of the season.

Westbrook is definitely the fastest growing player outside Lin Rui in UCL.

What he has added is not only his football skills, but also his physical talent.

If it weren't for Lin Rui and Collison's existence, Westbrook would have been able to be UCL's starting point guard.

The overall pace of both sides was not fast in the first half, UCL could not beat the switch and attack, while at the University of Texas, Durant and Augustine kept scoring, and the two of them felt great.

Ucla was slightly suppressed.

They were not used to it without Lin Rui.

Ben Holland continued to make personnel adjustments, but did not stop the overall situation from changing.

In the last 4 minutes of the first half, Ben Holland looked at Lin Rui and did not send him, but chose to let Lin Rui continue to sit off the court.

The game has not reached the point where Lin Rui must go, so he still has to continue to protect him.

In the last 50 seconds of the first half, Durant suddenly broke out.

First, Durant made a three-pointer from the right three-point line, and then Augustine stole Collison and passed it to Durant who was about to go down. Durant fired the gun from the left again, stopped and converted a three-pointer again!!

This series of outbreaks directly helped the University of Texas to double-digit scores!

42 to 32.

UCLa was 10 points behind in the first half, and Lin Rui's foul trouble finally made the team passive!
