You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 57 Jerry Wayne
In the second half of the game, it was obvious that Connecticut was excited.

They have entered the state of not looking at their opponents. The University of Notre Dame can't resist their pace. The only opponent, the University of Pittsburgh, has been upset by the Wildcats. No team can stop them from aspiring to the Eastern Conference championship.

The game came to an end, and Connecticut beat Notre Dame by 24 points.

Reporters habitually ignored UConn's best players and interviewed Ben Gordon, the most entertaining play.

When Gordon talked about how to win, the joy and pride in his eyes could not be concealed.

They really regard the University of Pittsburgh as the only opponent in the Big East, otherwise there is no reason for him to say something like that when he heard a reporter ask "Are you confident in tomorrow's finals?"

It sounds unreasonable.

"We are obviously the better team. We have a deeper bench and athleticism. We are undoubtedly the best team in the Big East. Even if Emeka doesn't play tomorrow night, I can bring five substitutes and beat Villanova!"

Looking down from the opponent is much more effective than the chicken soup for the soul of the coaching staff.

After watching Connecticut's game against the University of Notre Dame, the Wildcats, who were already restless and lost confidence, heard Gordon's wild words, and everyone was furious.

"Are you sure what he said is that he can beat us with five substitutes?" Wei Xia stared at the son of Dunleavy who had tipped off the news.

The son of Dunleavy went crazy: "Can I hear this wrong? We will be able to see his interview on TV at night. I really watched it. It is a reporter from CBS!"

Wei Xia was silent for a while.

His teammates thought he was talking harshly, but he smiled lightly and said, "Well, if we play five against six, we may not be able to beat their substitutes."

Hearing this, there were cold snorts, laughter, uneasy frowning expressions, and bewildered panic all around.

Jay Wright did not expect Gordon to personally help him give psychological counseling to the players.

Even if there are still some people who are uneasy, they are mostly those who sit on the bench.

The six or seven people who are eligible to play tomorrow night have nothing but a strong fighting spirit ready to take on Connecticut.

Thanks to Ben Gordon, it's a shame he isn't at TED.

The Wildcats boarded the bus silently and returned to the hotel.

Before returning to their rooms, Allen Ray gathered the players together, as if he would give a routine speech before entering the game field.

"Damn it, tomorrow I will fight that son of a bitch to the end!" No need to say who the son of a bitch Lei was talking about.

Randy Foye laughed, "Anyone else who wouldn't want to fuck that bastard?"

"Very well, that's it. I don't care if they are Huskies or Alaska, what kind of blood they are, we even killed Pittsburgh, and we are afraid of the second-ranked Huskies in the league?"

Lei does not have excellent eloquence. The reason why his lectures are inspiring is that he has a strong personality charm.

It's as if Li Yunlong is also a rough man who can't read all the words, but he yells a few times and the whole group has to rush up screaming.

That's exactly what Ray does with the Wildcats.

"There are still 20 hours before the final. Should we just sit here and lay the floor, or go back to sleep?" Wei Xia said rationally, "I think it is safer to go back to the room to sleep. After all, the ground is too dirty and there are many bacteria."

Lei said angrily: "You are the one who will destroy the atmosphere the most!"

Wei Xia protested: "I am seeking truth from facts!"

"Get out, get out! Get out of here! Get a good night's sleep, tomorrow we will skin and eat dog meat like the Chinese do!" Lei shouted loudly.

Wei Xia really wanted to argue for the group of people in the east who had the same skin color as himself, but he didn't know where to start.

Because even he has received all kinds of messages since he was a child that "Chinese people know how to copycats", "Chinese people like to eat dog and cat meat", "every Chinese knows Kung Fu".He had never been to China, and Wei Mingliang had only been there a few times, so he couldn't tell them what kind of country China was.

Everyone dispersed, Wei Xia was about to call home when suddenly his room phone rang.

Sheridan picked up the phone and called out, "Felix, someone is looking for you."

"My mother?"

"It's a man's voice."

"That's my father or brother." Wei Xia answered the phone and was about to speak, but heard the other end of the phone say, "Can't it be your grandpa, little guy?"

"grandfather?"

Hearing this, Sheridan said in surprise: "Is that the one you always say 'the one who stole Havlicek's ball' on the phone?"

"Is my story so famous?" I don't know if it's because the hotel's telephone has a good voice transmission function, and Wei Xia's grandfather heard Sheridan's whispers.

Wei Xia had no choice but to press the speakerphone, "Grandpa, let me introduce you, the person talking next to me is my teammate and roommate, Will Sheridan."

"Hello Will, my name is Jerry Wayne (Jerry Wayne), as you should already know, I am Felix's grandpa."

"Yes, he often tells me your story."

"Will, can I have a family whisper with Felix?"

"Of course!" Sheridan tactfully let go.

"Has he gone away?"

"Ah."

Wei Xia asked again: "You called so late, what's the matter?"

"Of course, if you don't tell me, I will almost forget. Aren't you going to play the final tomorrow? Let me assign you some tasks."

"You say."

"Win."

Sounds reasonable.

"Become the MVP."

Of course, the honor must be striven for.

"Get me a front-row ticket to Madison Gardens, and I'll be there to cheer you on."

"what?"

"Don't worry, I won't let you pay, I can reimburse you $100."

"Do you know that due to various reasons, the ticket price for this year's finals has increased several times compared to previous years?" Wei Xia said tremblingly, "The front row tickets for the finals can't be dealt with without $1000. The tickets have already been sold out. How can $100 be enough?"

"The best player on the championship team can't even get a ticket? I'm so disappointed in you, Felix! Do you know that I have a nickname in Boston called Lucky Star. When I went to the game for the first time, I witnessed the greatest steal in the history of the Celtics. I also stole the ball from 'Hondo'! Since then, whenever I go to the game, the Celtics always win more than lose. If I go to the scene to cheer for you, your chances of winning the championship will be at least doubled!"

What else can Wei Xia say?
He could only agree. After all, as long as he had a front-row ticket, it shouldn't be difficult. It might be possible to talk to the coaching staff.
