I am Really an Insider

Chapter 52: Elite 8

   Steve Patterson chose to turn off the TV because he knew that this upset was inevitable.

   Sure enough, when he and his partner John Nash were discussing the appropriateness of choosing Wayne with a lottery pick, the game in Baltimore was over.

   "It's over, the game is over! 88-82, Oklahoma State passed the corpse of Illinois State University! They officially became a member of the Elite Eight!"

   The live commentator stood up and cheered, and the most desirable scene of March Madness was finally staged.

  The following commits, the weak wins the strong, this has always been the theme of March Madness.

   And today, the cowboys led by Wayne broke the first big upset since the start of March Madness!

   Although three minutes ago, the Warriors were only behind by 3 points.

   But at a critical moment, when the Cowboys are strengthening their defense, it is not so easy to equalize this seemingly small 3 point.

  Once you are suppressed by the opponent, the 3-point gap will also make it difficult for you to move.

   So, the 3-point gap turned into 6 points, and the Warriors lost to Baltimore!

   Deron Williams put his hands on his knees, breathing heavily.

   It has been a while since the game ended, but he still finds it difficult to accept this fact.

   They, who were aiming for the championship, were eliminated in the Sweet Sixteen. This is simply... sad!

   "Damn it, if the NCAA also played 48 minutes! I can get the game back in 8 minutes!" Next to Deron, Luther Hyde knelt on one knee and slammed the floor.

   Now, he really is Luther.

   At the final critical moment of today, Luther Hyde repeatedly missed on Wayne and Tony Allen's defense.

   And back to the defensive end, he had no choice but to take Wayne.

   He firmly believes that he just feels bad about attacking temporarily.

   It takes eight more minutes, he can definitely lead the team to advance!

   But in fact, if the game is 8 minutes longer, the Warriors may be even worse.

   Di Brown is the calmest of the Three Musketeers, not so much calm, it is more sluggish.

   He akimbo, looking at the Cowboys players embracing each other from a distance, and then secretly shook his head.

  Originally, they should be celebrating each other at this time...

   Browns Webber is shaking hands with Old Sutton on the side of the court.

   Weber was very depressed, but he had to smile when he faced the old man.

   However, the old Sutton did not intend to save face for the already embarrassing Webber.

   He looked at Weber, and patted the opponent on the shoulder: "It seems that defense is still the foundation of a foothold, Weber."

   "Um... um... congratulations on your team's victory, Coach Sutton." What can Webber do? Can only nod and bow.

   Competitive sports, whoever wins is the uncle.

   Whoever loses can only pretend to be grandson.

   If Webber won today, he could also arrogantly say to Sutton: "Offense is the future, old man."

   It's a pity that he missed this opportunity to pretend to be a beep.

   Sutton does have reason to be proud. On the surface, the two sides are facing each other in this game, and they scored a very high score.

   But what really allowed the Cowboys to lay the foundation for the victory was precisely the defense at the last minute.

  At critical moments, the Cowboys can prevent them, but the Warriors can't. It's that simple.

   After shaking hands with the opposing coach, Sutton turned to look at the court.

   found that Wayne had been surrounded by several journalists.

   After helping the team defeat Wake Forest in the last game, Wayne once again became the key to the Cowboys' victory today and became the focus of much attention.

"32 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks. You have become the first player in the history of the Cowboys to score 30+10 in the March Madness Championship! Wei, talk about your mood at this time. !?"

   "Uh..." Looking at the beautiful blond lady in front of him, Wayne suddenly didn't know what to say.

   It's not because she looks pretty, but because he didn't know that he had broken the team history record again, and he was not ready to say anything.

   Speaking of it, Augustine’s goods are really soft today. Wayne actually has the illusion that he is a super scorer after he hits...

   When Augustine was defensive, Wayne felt that instead of facing up to the difficulties, he was a little bit avoiding himself.

   This Nima, I'm sorry for Augustine's efforts if I don't score 30 points.

   He has worked very hard, don't scold him anymore.

   Do you know how hard he tried to overcome his fear?

   In the last 58 seconds of the game, he actually fouled Wayne!

   The only foul on Wayne in the whole game.

   Wayne shook his head, this record is very reasonable.

"Really? I don't know I broke the record. I am very happy because we have survived another round. This game is not easy. We didn't decide the winner until the last minute. But we still persevered. I'm so happy."

   Wayne stretched out his hands, he really didn't know anything about team history.

   I know now, and I am not particularly excited.

   Compared to the team history record, the joy that victory brings to Wayne is stronger.

   "Indeed, it is not easy to get into the Elite Eight. This means that the Cowboys are only three games away from the NCAA championship! What do you think are your chances of winning the championship?"

   The blonde beauty asked Wayne another very hot question.

   A team that can enter the Elite Eight is really an out-and-out champion candidate.

   A team may be able to win one or two rounds by luck, but a team that can win three rounds in a row is definitely strong!

   "The chance? One in eight. We won't admit defeat, so I think our chances are equal to others."

   After answering the reporter's question, Wayne walked back to the sidelines.

  At this time, he found that most of the players from Illinois State had already retired.

   It is estimated that those proud champion candidates cannot accept the humiliation of being eliminated early.

   "Well done, I love you so much! We actually defeated the Three Musketeers, they are the Three Musketeers, hahahahaha!"

   Suddenly, Mr. Tony jumped up and climbed onto Wayne's back and said something nasty.

   "So, Oklahoma is not weak." Wayne walked a few steps with Mr. Tony on his back.

  I wonder how many people laughed at when the name Shuangshao was first spread out.

   But now?

   After the famous Three Musketeers were defeated by Shuang Shao, no one dared to question the gold content of Wayne and Tony Allen.

   Even Paul in front of the TV smiled comfortingly: "It's worthy of the opponent I trained, it's really strong!"

   Wayne wants to know that Paul actually put gold on his face so much, he wants to say a hundred million words to him.

   Deron was eliminated, this is the result Paul most hopes to see.

   Facts have proved that the guy he can't beat can't be beaten by Deron.

   How many statistics did Delong get today? 15 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds. Wayne was dumped by Wayne!

   This is the first time Paul felt so happy for his opponent's victory.

  According to the original "plan", Paul should start cursing Wayne for losing.

   He has completed his mission and should disappear.

   But Paul discovered that he suddenly didn't want Wayne to lose.

   The further he goes, the more he can represent that he is not ashamed of losing?

   If the Cowboys can finally reach the final four, it will be less unacceptable if Wake Forest loses to a semi-final team.

   "Well, revenge will come to the NBA next year. Now, please keep your course."

   Paul hummed a little song and turned off the TV.

   Delong was eliminated, enough for a few days.

  ※※※

   After retiring from the Wizards, the man known as the "God", Michael Jordan, was happy.

   He temporarily stayed away from the intrigue of the NBA, while focusing on building his own business empire, while enjoying a leisurely life.

   Jordan is really tired.

  Because he had just experienced a betrayal almost a year ago.

   As we all know, Jordan once sold his shares in the Wizards in 2001, resigned from his position in the team’s management, signed for two years and returned to the court with the minimum wage.

  Because of NBA regulations, players cannot hold team shares, and the Wizards hope that Jordan will return to lead the team to the playoffs, so that the world's attention is focused on the Wizards.

   Therefore, Jordan had to "clean out" and come back as a player again.

   At the time, Jordan had agreed with Wizards owner Abi Paulin. After he really ended his playing career and helped the Wizards attract popularity, he could immediately return to the Wizards management.

   But the final result was not like this.

   When Jordan retired after playing for the Wizards for two years and wanted to return to management, Wizards owner Abi Paulin refused to allow Jordan to return to management on the grounds that "the team needs to change direction."

   Jordan has always been a very competitive person and a winner who has achieved great success, so he will become quite angry when things are not going in the direction he expected.

   In Jordan's view, commitment is more important than anything else. But in the eyes of the team owner, as long as there is nothing written in black and white, it can be changed.

   Then, Jordan and Abi Paulin had a big quarrel, completely torn their skins, and their relationship officially broke down.

That night, Jordan returned to Chicago directly, and Abi Paulin’s wife also said: “Abi was trembling with anger after returning home that night~www.ltnovel.com~ That’s it, Michael Jordan temporarily faded out of the NBA. Although He still wants to return to the league as a manager, but after experiencing this betrayal or deception, Jordan still feels exhausted.

   He decided to slow down first, wait until the time was right, and then continue his dream of team boss.

   Now Jordan tries not to pay attention to NBA matters. He cares more about NCAA games than NBA.

   The basketball environment that is not about business, no deceit, no deceit and betrayal, but only about victory and hard work, I miss Jordan very much.

   Jordan, who has just experienced intrigue, misses the simplicity of NCAA.

   So, when Jordan learned that his alma mater, North Carolina, had once again reached the March Madness Elite Eight, he immediately said: "I'm going to watch the game!"

   So, Jordan checked the matchup table for this year's March Crazy Tournament.

   When they saw that North Carolina’s opponent in the quarterfinals was O State, the trapeze was very excited.

   As the biggest dark horse this year, the University of Oklahoma is so famous that even Jordan has heard of it.

   North Carolina vs. Dark Horse, just thinking about it, you know what a fierce match this will be.

   Jordan so pre-purchased the front volleyball ticket, ready to return to the scene to experience the atmosphere of campus basketball.

   At the same time, I have to witness my alma mater once again reaching the final four!

   Well, O State is very strong. They have a magical Chinese, a wise coach and a defender who is always motivated.

   But so what? They are facing North Carolina!

   Michael Jordan is not too worried about the outcome of the game, he subconsciously believes that the victory of North Carolina is a matter of course.
