NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!

Jordan's interview with reporters quickly went viral in the media, and news about him was reprinted all over the internet in an instant.

"Whether it's a prodigy or a rookie, North Carolina is going to win."

The media outlets that had previously mocked and looked down on the Wildcats suddenly seemed to have found their backbone, highlighting Jordan's interview in large print in their news articles.

Below is a full analysis, covering everything from the team's history and roster to the coach and tactics.

Everyone was absolutely certain that the powerful North Carolina would defeat the Wildcats.

Meanwhile, Jordan, who was at the "Joe's House" in Highland Park, a northern suburb of Chicago, was looking at the news with a headache.

These damn media outlets are always swarming around him like flies, amplifying every word he says.

He looked at the Chinese man in the news with the nickname "Wonder Boy" and felt inexplicably irritated.

This Asian kid has already led his team to victory against several top basketball teams in the United States.

Perhaps I could go to the site to cheer on North Carolina. I believe that seeing me there would inspire those North Carolina college students to fight with renewed vigor.

Jordan thought for a moment and pressed the call button for his office secretary.

"Please schedule my trip to Memphis for tomorrow; I want to watch North Carolina play live."

......

Five minutes before the start of the game, Zhou Yi saw Jordan in person for the first time at the FedEx Forum.

When the real Goat, wearing a blue North Carolina T-shirt, walked into the arena with his assistant, the entire arena erupted in cheers.

The announcer was shouting as he introduced Jordan, who walked to the front row and waved to the cheering fans.

Putting aside the many scandals surrounding this true "goat," just considering his skills, honors, and fame, he truly deserves the title of "God of Basketball."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean in Sina's live broadcast room, a large number of netizens were frantically building comments in the comment section.

"Holy crap, Jordan is supporting North Carolina too. Yi is going to have a tough time in this game."

"You call him Yi? Even Jordan said North Carolina is going to win. What do the Wildcats have to compete with North Carolina?"

"Well, Zhou Yi's match is going to be tough."

......

After enjoying the cheers from the fans, Jordan sat down in the front row, his gaze drifting towards the North Carolina players warming up on the court.

He seemed to sense the death stare from the basketball god on the sidelines.

North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson, who was warming up, was a bit nervous and made an absurd layup that missed completely.

Jordan shook his head helplessly and looked towards the Wildcats' half of the court.

Then I saw Zhou, whom he called a rookie, dunk with a powerful windmill dunk.

Jordan touched his forehead, which was a little sweaty. Perhaps it had been too long since he had been inside a bustling arena; he felt a bit hot.

For some reason, Jordan suddenly thought of his old friend Charles Barkley and a donkey.

Shaking his head, Jordan suppressed the ridiculous thought in his mind.

North Carolina, where he once played, cannot lose!

......

The match finally began with the referee's whistle.

Because of Jordan's presence, all the neutral fans in the arena chose North Carolina.

The chant of "Let's go Tar Heels!" echoed throughout the arena, drowning out the shouts of the smaller Wildcats fans.

North Carolina has possession, Ty Lawson controls the ball.

This future CBA player, the 18th pick by the Nuggets in 09, is the core of North Carolina's perimeter offense.

Although Ty Lawson is only 180cm tall, he is a powerhouse with an extremely fast first step.

Facing Curry's defense, Ty Lawson's strong body squeezed past him in one step.

Ty Lawson scored with a floater over Lovedale, giving North Carolina a two-point lead.

Inside the arena, North Carolina fans cheered wildly for the shot, and Jordan on the sidelines waved his hands.

In an instant, the pressure fell on the Wildcats. Curry held the ball, firmly controlling it between his legs.

Facing Ty Lawson's defense, Curry looked at Jordan on the sidelines and seemed a little nervous.

After missing a three-point attempt following a pick-and-roll, North Carolina's key center, Tyler Hansbrough, secured the rebound under the basket.

Ty Lawson had already started his early attack, receiving a long pass from Hansbrough's quarterback and scoring a layup.

The score was quickly turned into 4-0, with North Carolina demonstrating its strength as a basketball powerhouse from the start.

The cheers from the North Carolina fans on the sidelines grew louder and louder, and even Jordan joined in the cheers with great enthusiasm.

The chant "Let's go Tar Heels!" echoed throughout the arena.

The Wildcats players' expressions froze; the start of this match was hellishly difficult.

The Wildcats players seemed intimidated by Jordan's presence and North Carolina's imposing aura.

"Brothers, let's get moving! The competition has just begun!"

Zhou Yi cheered from the field, using this method to encourage his teammates.

The Wildcats had possession of the ball, and Curry passed it to Zhou Yi, who was making an active run.

Facing Marcus Geniad, North Carolina's starting small forward, Zhou Yi decided to take the ball himself.

Morale is something invisible and intangible, yet it greatly influences the outcome of a match.

To revive the Wildcats' morale, Zhou Yi must score this goal; otherwise, the team will fall into an even more slump.

Protecting the basketball to his side, Zhou Yi directly chose to back down the ball in the left elbow area.

Livingston's mid-range shooting skills include the back-to-the-basket mid-range shot, and with Zhou Yi's daily hard work and practice, the back-to-the-basket mid-range shot has become one of his scoring methods on the court.

Giannis stood behind Zhou Yi, a dark hand even secretly hooking Zhou Yi's jersey, while the referee on the sidelines seemed to turn a blind eye.

Zhou Yi didn't have many opportunities to back down the ball, while Livingston used his back-to-the-basket moves more as a means to find his rhythm for his mid-range shots.

After the basketball bounced twice, Zhou Yi suddenly turned around and threw the ball over Giannis's defense.

Giniad jumped up with all his might, but his hands could only reach Zhou Yi's wrists.

Livingston's high release point mid-range shot, combined with Zhou Yi's jumping ability and long arms, meant that no one on the court could interfere with his shot.

"Zhou! Back-to-the-basket mid-range jumper, goes in!" the commentator's voice rang out.

The game started with the Wildcats being dominated, and even the Wildcats fans in the arena were overwhelmed by the North Carolina fans.

Zhou Yi's successful shot reignited the passion of the Wildcats fans.

They waved their support signs wildly and shouted Zhou Yi's name.

"Zhou! Zhou!"

In the Sina live broadcast room, Chinese fans watching the game were also excitedly commenting.

"Good shot, Yi!"

"Yi Ge's shot was really cool, that hater on the other side couldn't stop it at all."

"The person upstairs is just spouting nonsense; North Carolina hasn't even started yet."

"Get lost, are you even Chinese?"

On the court, Zhou Yi quickly returned to defense, clapping his hands as he ran back to the backcourt to encourage his Wildcats teammates.

"Brothers, let's take them on! We don't know who'll win on the court! Don't be nervous!"

The words of the I Ching echoed in the ears of the Wildcats players, who listened to the Wildcats fans' continuous cheers in the arena, rivaling those of the North Carolina fans.

The Wildcats' lads gradually calmed down.

"Go for it! Give North Carolina a good beating on the ass!"

Curry, a primary school student, also shouted encouragement at the right time, although the words, coming from his cute baby face, had no offensive power.

However, the Wildcats' morale finally picked up.

On the sidelines, Jordan watched Zhou Yi encouraging his teammates on the court, and for some reason, he felt hot again.
