From the moment the Arizona Wildcats luxury bus pulled into the University of Oregon campus, boos around the bus never stopped.

This is a good tradition of the NCAA. During the regular season, each team has its own homegame, which is the home game.At this time, no matter who the visiting opponent is, how many times stronger than his own team, even if his school team once lost to the opponent by dozens of points.Students in our school don't applaud each other's brilliant performance.

This is the standard behavior of "protecting the calf" in the old Northeast saying. You want me to applaud you if you run wild on my territory?You are dreaming!Even if you are North Carolina or Duke, the king's division, it is impossible to win even a little applause in the away game.Of course, it is not ruled out that some individuals will take the risk of doing this, provided that he is prepared to be thrown out of the arena by the angry crowd.

The Arizona Wildcats have long been used to this senseless booing, their position in the state has not been shaken for a long time.The best way to deal with boos like this is to humiliate them on the court by any means possible.Jordan Hill and Budinger, who were listening to music with earphones, were already able to turn a blind eye to the numerous provocative gestures outside the bus window.

But before they entered the locker room, Hill still heard the shouts of the opposing fans.

"Hey, you wild cats, are you scared? Our record is the same as yours, and we will beat you here, you guys, go home crying after the game!" An extremely excited Oregon student lay on his stomach Shouted loudly at the Wildcats from the railing of the aisle.

Jordan Hill's eyebrows twitched slightly because of this sentence, and he turned to Budinger and said: "The people in this school really match their team name, a group of raving ducks, I will see you later Shut them up!"

Seeing the slightly annoyed Hill in front of him, Budinger grinned and patted him on the shoulder to express his understanding.

The basketball hall of the University of Oregon was already full before the arrival of the Arizona Wildcats. The strong rise of the school team this season has ignited the passion that has not been there for a long time in this school that has not tasted the top 64 for a long time.

Before the competition for the top spot, the school's publicity had already created a strong momentum for them.Almost the space in the stands of the school's basketball gymnasium where people can squeeze in is too big to get a needle in. The atmosphere is no less than that of March Madness.

The drumming outside and the din of the Arizona Wildcats coming in had been shut out by the door of the Oregon locker room.

The atmosphere in the locker room can be said to be orderly. The opponent is Arizona's ever-victorious division, but the attitude of the Oregon team seems to be preparing for a warm-up match within the team.

All the team members were sitting quietly in front of their closets, their eyes were all focused on Lewis, neatly like an army of prohibited orders.

Lewis looked at his players with satisfaction. He was about to play against a strong opponent, but he could stabilize his emotions. This is the temperament that a mature team should have.

He couldn't see the inner world of the team members. If he could, he would be surprised that the thoughts of these children all came from the oriental boy sitting in the corner.

The reason for their disastrous defeat to the Arizona Wildcats last year, in addition to their lack of strength, was more because the opponent's powerful insider Jordan Hill was simply unstoppable inside.Ivy seemed helpless in the face of Jordan Hill's impact. His height disadvantage and lack of jumping made him unable to prevent the opponent from scoring on his head.

Now Lin Yi's joining and Lin Yi's performance during training gave them the confidence to fight.At least the opponent in the interior will not take any advantage this time, because we also have our own guardians.

Of course Lewis couldn't see this, and he didn't know what kind of expectations Lin Yi brought to these players. He only knew that the key to this game was how sharp Lin Yi's knife could be.

The starting lineup was listed on the tactical board. Lin Yi, McNeese, Gortat, Hansen, and Wayman continued the habit of every game.

The other party's names were only Jordan Hill and Budinger. Between Lin Yi and Hill, Lewis drew a thick black line with a pen.

He slapped his hands on the tactical board vigorously, and shouted at Lin Yi
"Lin Yi, you are the core of this game, and the whole team will attack around you. I will give you the right to fire freely! You have only one task, to crush that so-called future star to death under the backboard! Got it! !"

The right to fire freely, a right that only the soul of the team has, is now handed over to Lin Yi, but the entire locker room did not feel any surprise or dissatisfaction.Everyone including McNeese felt that this was a natural thing, because Lin Yi's demonstrated strength had already earned him this right.

"Understood! Boss, don't worry, if you can't kill him, you can kill me." The smile on Lin Yi's face and relaxed tone made Lewis and the team members smile happily. This is what Lewis wanted. determination.

"Change your clothes and go to warm up. I don't want your hands to feel as cold as ice during the game." Lewis clapped his hands and signaled.

Walking out of the narrow player tunnel, the entire University of Oregon began to cheer for their debut, and the shouts of the crowd exploded in every corner.

The players of the Oregon Ducks have not enjoyed such warm applause and cheers for a long time. They know that all this is because they have achieved continuous victories, and the source of the victories lies in the Eastern boy.

The huge cheers have not completely fallen, and with the appearance of the Arizona Wildcats, a burst of boos and whistles sounded from everywhere.

Hill was very irritable when he heard the boos all over the field, Budinger beside him calmed down a lot, patted Hill on the shoulder and whispered
"When the warm-up is over, let's play a game, which is the trick we often play."

Seeing Budinger's expression, Hill also grinned. "I really look forward to seeing the faces of these guys"

When Hill was warming up, he looked at Lin Yi who was practicing dribbling on the opposite court from a distance. Budinger pointed at Lin Yi's back and said to Hill
"Look, that's your opponent in this game. It seems to be really tall. I heard that this guy blocks shots well."

"What's the use of being tall, a first-year rookie, I hope he won't go home crying to find his mother when the game is over."

Lin Yi didn't know that there were two guys on the opposite side pointing at him, he was just dribbling the ball easily and peacefully, looking for the feeling of the ball.

He has been preparing for this match for a long time, and finally he can attack freely. No matter who the opponent is, he has the confidence to defeat him.

However, under the basketball hoop, a pair of black eyes in the rest area of ​​the cheerleaders made him a little distracted the moment he entered the court.

"She came to watch my game." Lin Yi knew whose eyes it was, and his heartbeat accelerated a lot when he met those eyes.

Huh, Lin Yi took a deep breath, cleared away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and concentrated all his energy on the upcoming game.

Old Chuck, his younger sister Lin Xiner, Chuck's two sons, and his well-behaved granddaughter Selina were all sitting on special seats at the edge of the venue.

Few students knew who this old man was, but the directors of the school were not confused. Their respectful attitude and thoughtful service gave this old handsome a good position to appreciate his apprentice's performance.

Old Chuck knew that this was the first time Lin Yi had to face a rising star inside, and this was also the best way to test his training.

Lin Yi looked at the thumbs that old Chuck and his sister extended to him, and responded with a smile.

The warm-up time passed quickly, and the two teams were preparing to return to the rest area. When Lin Yi was about to turn around, a shout came from the opposite side.

"Hey big man, here's a gift for you!"

As soon as Lin turned his head, he happened to see Jordan Hill throwing the basketball in his hand to Budinger, and then quickly rushed to the three-second zone from the middle circle. Budinger shook his wrist casually, and the basketball flew towards the basket.

When Hill took a step into the three-second zone, he slammed his right foot on the ground, and his whole body began to glide in the air. When he approached the basket, he caught the thrown basketball with both hands.

"Boom!" A loud voice echoed on the court. After shaking the basket with both hands vigorously, Hill landed in the air, turned around and stretched out his right index finger provocatively at Lin Yi.

"This is a gift for you and you!" Hill pointed his finger at the entire arena.

Lin Yi watched as Hill soared into the air, dunked, landed, and yelled, all without moving.

After watching the other party's arrogant performance, he still left quietly, turned around and walked into his own locker room.

After waiting for the door to be completely closed, looking at the concerned eyes of everyone, Lin Yi gave them a reassuring smile.

"Just now I was worried that there would be errors in the video I watched. It seems that his jumping is indeed not as good as mine, hehe"

This laugh is kind of bad.
