Dominate the basketball world, starting from the skyhook skill

Chapter 38 The Finals on the Aircraft Carrier

On April 2023, 4, the east coast of the United States.

5:30 p.m.

The sky is getting dark and the afterglow is scattered.

The ultimate reliance of the United States on Blue Star's hegemony, the invincible overlord of the ocean-the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, is quietly mooring on the water surface 10 nautical miles away from the home port.

The deck that should have been full of advanced fighter jets was crowded with people and the sky was in full swing.

More than a dozen tall spotlights surrounded an open space in the center of the deck into a square basketball court.

Here is the scene of the 2023 NCAA National Finals!

Li Kaiwen closed his eyes, standing on the stadium that was remodeled at a huge cost more than ten days ago, quietly feeling everything around him.

The "Seahawk" helicopters and "F-16" fighter jets passing overhead from time to time brought the slightly salty sea breeze to him.

The voices of the teammates around him were inaudible but so clear.

The middle parted hairstyle was cut short yesterday, and became the round inch when I first came to the United States.

On his feet were the brand new sneakers that Unica gave him, which he was reluctant to wear.

"Li~, are you ready?"

Eunika, who was sitting in the auditorium on the first floor of the island, shouted at him, seeing him turn around,
He waved the big portrait in his hand desperately.

He opened his eyes.

Today, I will give it my all.

……

This sea arena, which was temporarily remodeled by the NCAA committee and can accommodate nearly [-] people, is full of people at the moment.

Numerous high-definition cameras are distributed in various positions, and every picture on the court is transmitted to the screens of fans all over the world in a timely manner.

Today is a feast for basketball fans!
"Ace commentator, apply to play!"

"Here's Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley!"

"We boarded this majestic battleship again and again!"

"Today's NCAA Finals, are you ready?"

The two Huobaoer hosts also came to the scene, bringing a little joy to the oppressive atmosphere before the war.

Not only them, Magic Johnson, LeBron James who is about to retire, Carmelo Anthony...

Numerous NBA big-name stars also came to the scene.

"Are you ready to kiss a cow's ass today, Shaq?"

Barkley stared at his big bulging eyes, joking about his good partner.

"Honestly speaking, with Jordan Hawkins' performance a few days ago, I would believe that he is Michael Jordan."

O'Neal is right.

"So this time, Kangda will win!"

The game was about to start, and everyone in Syracuse stood shoulder to shoulder and surrounded Jim in the middle.

The lovely old man looked around at the group of young people in their 20s, and said the words he had prepared for a long time.

"Guys! I will never tell you that enough is enough, we did our best."

He looked at the endless blue beside the ship,
"Today, all of us are here just to win."

"Remember, No.2 is the biggest loser!"

"I want you to burn your blood and your soul,"

"For Syracuse, win another championship!"

All Syracuse players raised their fists and gathered in one place.

"Hoohoho~!"

"Syracuse must win!"

At 6 o'clock in the evening, the whistle sounded and the game began!
I don't know if it's because the players are in such a martial environment, or because the intensity of the game is just so terrifying.

From the very beginning, this finals has become a bloody arena!
The two sides frantically confront each other,

The sound of muscle collision and shooting irons even overwhelmed Barkley's thick voice!

"This is the intensity that the finals should have!"

"Before, it was all a group of sissies playing exhibition games!"

As veteran fans of physical confrontation, Barkley and O'Neill like this tit-for-tat scene very much.

The two sides played for 4 minutes, and the score was still embarrassing 0-0.

Yes, there won't be any easy shots today.

Even if it is absolutely empty, you must use the strongest foul to make you lose a layer of skin!

"Shua~!"

After Li Kaiwen pushed back to attract double-teams again, the open Mike finally hit a three-pointer!
3 to 0, no one thought that the first score of the audience came from the strongest player in Syracuse University.

Because Li Kaiwen is not a human being in outside shooting.

Kangda immediately called a timeout.

"It was called a timeout in the first 4 minutes. Isn't Kangda too cautious?"

Barkley is a little happy. The Syracuse he supports seems to have to adapt to this high-intensity confrontation first.

On the first attack back from the timeout, Tristen dribbled the ball to half court, and immediately passed the ball to Hawkins who came out of the bag.

The ball didn't go out of chance and Mike followed closely.

But the moment Hawkins received the ball, he ignored Mike's interference and turned around and shot a 3-pointer.

Hit, answer ball!

"It seems that Hawkins' state has continued, this Syracuse is in trouble!"

O'Neal gloated at Barkley.

But today, Iron Man decides to save the world!
Looking back, Mike, who was missed again, was relentless and hit another 3 points from the corner!
6 is better than 3!

As the most inaccurate point of Syracuse's outside line, the opponents in the past all targeted Mike short so as to double-team Li Kaiwen.

But today, Mike Tieshu blossomed, proving that he is not a waste who only knows how to drink and burn his head!
Now, Kang Da never dared to let him go!
In the offensive round of UConn, Tristen and power forward Sanogo, who is also about to enter the draft this year, made a pick and roll.

Tristen made an assault with the ball, but Sanogo slashed outside the three-point line.

The 2-foot guy entered the tournament with a 10 percent three-point shooting rate, second only to team leader Hawkins.

Li Kaiwen didn't dare to neglect, and switched defenses in front of him.

UConn head coach Kajon also made targeted arrangements before the game. When no one opened in the first half,
It is necessary to consume Li Kaiwen with all his strength.

He believed that at the moment of the final decisive battle,

Hawkins, who has been in hot form recently, will definitely defeat Li Kaiwen head-on and score those key goals.

After all, shooting 3 points from the outside is far less labor-intensive than hitting every ball hard!
Sanogo didn't make a strong shot, but accelerated the ball, ready to break through!

As a quasi-NBA-level insider, as long as he doesn't make fancy moves, there is still not much risk in dribbling in a straight line.

In an instant, their bodies collided, and the 111kg Sanogo was slightly bounced away!

This yellow-skinned boy is like a bull!
"Li's progress is too obvious!"

Barkley was full of praise.

"He probably didn't have such a strong strength before. It seems that the hard training during this period has not been in vain!"

But before the words fell, the referee's whistle sounded.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, the golden whistle referee Crawford specially invited from the NBA,

Facing the red-faced Shelby, he clenched his hands into fists and raised them high.

"No. 9 George Shelby, second-degree flagrant foul, expelled!"

Everyone in Syracuse, a bolt from the blue!
