NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 10 Standing up to make money!

In the Southeast Regional Finals, contrary to many people's expectations, the University of Connecticut showed the strength of the top seed and completely crushed the opponent in the first half.

At 29:43, at the end of the half, the point difference had been extended to 14 points.

In the NCAA's slow-paced game, it is not an easy task to recover such a point difference.

The most important thing is that Connecticut is blooming inside and outside, and all the players on the field have scored, while Cincinnati has collectively missed the ball, and the game has almost no suspense.

李佑上半场打了8分42秒，4中4，拿到8分1篮板4助攻。

In the case of inside advantage, more close to the basket to complete the attack, coach Calhoun is very satisfied with this, the opponent failed to play an effective conversion attack throughout the half.

During the intermission, the Cincinnati fans who deliberately flew to Lexington seemed very disappointed. Watching the game on the spot could feel the opponent's talent even more. They were completely crushed.

"It seems that there will be new faces in this year's Final Four. The University of Connecticut deserves to be the top seed. Maybe they have a chance to win the championship!"

Jim Nantz has started poisoning milk again. The veteran sports reporter just likes teams with talent, and Cincinnati is already out of his mind.
Billy Parker just smiled. He has always been more optimistic about Kentucky, who has always crushed opponents in the tournament:
"Winning the championship is not an easy task, but everything is possible in a game that determines the outcome. This is also the charm of the NCAA."

"."

After the start of the second half, Cincinnati did not give up, still trying to chase points and trying to speed up the offensive rhythm.

It's just that he missed consecutive shots from the outside, and when he turned around, he was easily scored by the steady University of Connecticut.

The big man Knight completely dominated the inside in this game. With a stable 2 points, the game was played less than 5 minutes, and the point difference was expanded to 20 points.

In the Rupp Arena, UConn fans jumped up and down, cheering loudly. Everyone has begun to celebrate the team's making history and reaching the semi-finals!
Coach Calhoun was very cautious, and the huge point difference still did not expand the rotation.

Li You's playing time has increased, but after playing, he is more responsible for sorting out the offense, slowing down the pace, and giving the ball to the inside.

One side anxiously speeds up, the other side plays slower and slower, and the game time flies by. Many Cincinnati fans on the scene have covered their faces and wept.

As the final buzzer sounded, everyone at the University of Connecticut yelled and rushed to the center of the field. Everyone hugged and yelled happily with the fans.

At 60:77, the Southeast Regional Finals, Connecticut beat Cincinnati and successfully entered the final four!
Danny Fortson was in tears. As the core of Cincinnati, he scored 17 of 5 in this game and only scored 12 points.

And most of the points were scored in the second half, and the point difference was widened in the first half, largely because he was too strong at this point.

The arena was filled with excited shouts of Connecticut fans.

Li You smiled and hugged Calhoun. The veteran coach who had coached at the University of Connecticut for 10 years also cried with joy:

"We will win the championship! The final four is just the beginning!"

Patting this good old man on the shoulder, Li You could understand Coach Calhoun's mood at this time.

Connecticut has been unable to recruit talented players, and the best result in the past is to stop at the quarterfinals. Calhoun, who has been running around for the team for many years, has been rewarded this year.

"Thanks to your performance, Lee, you will become a big star!"

Coach Calhoun calmed down his emotions and patted Li You on the shoulder hard. He recruited and trained these players himself. He sincerely hoped that everyone would succeed.

On March 3, the top four teams of the NCAA Tournament were all released:
In the Eastern Region, 86:62, the University of Massachusetts beat Georgetown and successfully advanced as the top seed.

麻省大学的马库斯-坎比出场28分钟，19中9，拿到22分7篮板1助攻1抢断3盖帽。

被寄予厚望的阿伦-艾弗森出场36分钟，21中6，以不足三成的命中率拿到了23分2篮板1助攻2抢断5失误的数据。

Despite the statistics, most of the media still praised Iverson's spirit of hard work on the court.
In the Midwest final, 63:83, the University of Kentucky beat Wake Forest by 20 points!
被寄予厚望的蒂姆-邓肯出场39分钟，7中2，拿到14分16篮板6助攻2抢断4盖帽5失误的数据。

另一位明星球员安托万-沃克11中3，表现拉跨，只拿到了9分6篮板2助攻1抢断。

The two stars didn't have the expected matchup, but Kentucky guard Tony Delk was great:

13 of 9, 7 of 5 from beyond the three-point line, scored 25 points efficiently, and stole the limelight from the two.

In the Western Regional Finals, Syracuse University defeated the opponent 60:57, and the team entered the semi-finals for the third time in history.

Coupled with Connecticut, which beat its opponent in the southeast region, two new faces appeared in this year's top 4!

Both Macheng University and Connecticut have created the best record in team history. In the semi-finals, 4 teams will fly to Rutherford, New Jersey.

The national semifinals and finals will be held at the Continental Arena.

Connecticut's opponent in the semifinals is Syracuse University. There is still some time before the 30th. Coach Calhoun also gave the players a day off.

Due to NCAA regulations, players are not allowed to accept any gifts in any form, so even Ray Allen, who is about to become a millionaire, doesn't have too many dollars.

Manager Mark Bartelstein naturally followed the whole process and has been staying in Lexington these days.

Seeing that the University of Connecticut reached the semi-finals, I was also very happy.

李佑在区域决赛7中6，三分线外2中1，罚球2中2，高效砍下15分3篮板6助攻2抢断1失误。

This performance has surpassed many star players who are the most popular in the draft, and Mark Bartelstein is also very satisfied with this.

Even if it is a cruel dish, being able to play such a performance can also show Li You's strength.

It's just that the exercise on the other side of the ocean two days ago gave the manager some bad premonitions.

At noon lunch time on the 24th, Mark Bartelstein specially asked Li You, looked at the young man who was eating meat in front of him, and said pointedly:

"Li, have you paid attention to the news these two days? You know, as you reach the semi-finals, not only the sports media, but you may also encounter some social problems"

Before the other party could finish speaking, Li You raised his eyebrows and immediately said:
"Wanwan question? No one will come to ask me my opinion on this matter, right? I'm just a college player, so it's my turn to express my opinion on this kind of thing?"

Mark Bartelstein did not expect that Li You really knew about this, he was a little surprised, and then reminded with a smile:
"Be prepared, Li, you should understand your situation!"

Li You continued to bury his head in the meat, and responded without raising his head:
"Wanwan Province belongs to China, and there is only one China in the world. This is a matter of principle!"

Noticing Mark Bartelstein's expression of helplessness, Li You secretly complained in his heart:
"The ABCs who came here are not human beings, I just want to stand up and make money!"
