Chapter 84 The Status of North Carolina
But no matter what, Tang Tian asked the two brothers to report their families and finally separated them temporarily.
"You play North Carolina tonight, we'll go see it," Marcus said.
"I look forward to meeting you in the conference finals," Markieff continued.
The two brothers said one sentence after another, it felt like they were talking about cross talk.
It is said that there will be special telepathy and tacit understanding between twins, which seems to be true.
"So do we," Walker said.
After his win at Arizona, his confidence has skyrocketed.
What about the death zone, what about North Carolina Duke, he wants to defeat them one by one and finally win the championship, let the so-called experts take a good look, Kang Da is far stronger than they think.
After a few simple greetings, Walker and Tang Tian went to the cashier to pay.
"It would be better if we played Kansas first." Walker couldn't help but said, Kansas is weaker than North Carolina. If you play Kansas first and then North Carolina, like Arizona, there will be a further transition.
"Actually, it will be harder for us to play Kansas than North Carolina." Tang Tian's next words surprised Walker.
"Kansas's inside line is stronger than North Carolina. Our inside line is only one Alex. If Alex is beaten, our inside line is basically gone." Tang Tian said.
Walker nodded thoughtfully after listening.
What Tang Tian said is true, not to mention playing North Carolina and Kansas. I played San Diego State University before. After Oriarch went down, Kangda’s inside line would be completely useless. Was eliminated.
"But in fact, whether it is North Carolina or Kansas, we must have an absolute advantage." Tang Tian continued.
"Huh?" Walker looked at Tang Tian suspiciously.
"You." Tang Tian said with a smile.
"North Carolina's Marshall, Kansas' Tayshaun Taylor, a very poor confrontation, a huge turnover, one-on-one you can knock them out."
Walker froze for a moment, then smiled and touched his head.
Although what Tang Tian said was right, it made him a little embarrassed to praise it.
The game between North Carolina and the University of Concord is close at hand, not only the fans of the two schools, but also the NBA's attention far exceeds other games.
North Carolina's full name is North Carolina Tar Heel, also known as North Carolina Blue. It has five championship championships, second only to UCLA and Kentucky in the NCAA, and beats its rival Duke University.
Of course, it's not just his NCAA performance that makes North Carolina so famous, it's also because of one person, Michael Jordan.
Jordan's data in North Carolina was not explosive, and he averaged only 17.5 points per game as a sophomore, but this was the request of his mentor Dean Smith to suppress his desire to score and let him lead his teammates to play team basketball.
This approach allowed Jordan to form a selfless playing style and a tough character in the future, helping him to become the "God of Basketball" in the NBA.
In layman's terms, North Carolina made Jordan, and Jordan made North Carolina with his future performance.
Because of Jordan, North Carolina's popularity in the United States is actually overshadowed by super famous schools such as UCLA, Kentucky and Duke.
Take the place where the competition is held.
In theory, according to the rules, the venue of the game should be held in a neutral city, but there is no absolute neutrality in this kind of thing, because basically there are NCAA schools in big cities, it is nothing more than the strength of these schools.
The NCAA is even less likely to put the game in a small city for neutrality, and they also want to make money, so when choosing an address, bias is unavoidable, plus these locations were selected a year ago, the bias is more obvious.
Charlotte is located in North Carolina, where both Duke and North Carolina play games in Charlotte, home games for both schools.
The battle is imminent, and Charlotte can be said to be a city-wide mobilization. The local sports media do not even report the NBA game, but pay attention to the game throughout.
Around 6 p.m. that night, the Charlotte Bobcats host the Phoenix Suns.
The Bobcats are now 10th in the Eastern Conference and are in the final sprint for the playoffs, and the Suns are in a similar situation.
However, the number of viewers at the scene of this game hit a new low in the season, and the attendance rate was less than 30%. The sparse scene looked a little miserable.
Vince Carter is a member of the Suns. Because he is a North Carolina alumnus, reporters chatted with him before the game.
"Vince, the attendance at the scene tonight is not very high, have you encountered this situation before?" the reporter asked.
"Yes, of course, it happens every March." Carter nodded.
"Would you mind? Because there weren't many people watching the game."
"No no, I don't mind, I envy them, because there is a game tonight I can't be there." Carter said with a smile.
"North Carolina and Connecticut, who do you think will win?" the reporter asked.
"Of course it's North Carolina, North Carolina Night!" Carter replied without hesitation, making a sure-win gesture toward the camera.
"It's just a pity that I can't go to the scene to cheer on the boys in North Carolina." He then said with a little regret.
Carter couldn't go to watch the game because he wanted to play, but the appearance of another North Carolina alumnus caused the Bank of America Stadium to boil.
Michael Jordan, the basketball god of the NBA and the small owner of the Bobcats, gave up watching the key games of the Bobcats, and came to the scene instead.
This approach is completely expected. The North Carolina game is in Charlotte. As the most well-known alumnus of North Carolina, it is inappropriate if he does not come.
Jordan's appearance also made all the fans at the scene into a boiling.
Jordan waved to the audience, his presence also greatly inspired the confidence of the North Carolina players.
"The enemy has Gundam." Tang Tian couldn't help but sighed when he saw this.
Of the more than 50,000 spectators tonight, more than 30,000 are from North Carolina, and the University of Concord is less than 20,000. The number of fans is at the bottom. With the addition of Jordan's buff, the game environment is a bit harsh.
"What?" Walker heard Tang Tian muttering and leaned over to ask.
"I said Jordan is handsome." Walker must not understand the future language, he said casually.
"Not as handsome as you," Walker said.
"...I mean he has a great aura." Tang Tian's face darkened.
"Well." Walker nodded in agreement, Jordan's aura is unmatched in basketball.
"But it's useless no matter how big the aura is. Anyway, he can't play, and Jordan watched the North Carolina game before, and North Carolina lost." He continued.
Tang Tian nodded.
The appearance of Jordan is a great encouragement to the fans on the scene, but it may not necessarily be the case for the North Carolina players. The God of basketball is sitting on the sidelines, and the players must be under a lot of psychological pressure. This is not necessarily the case for players with average psychological quality. is good.
