The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 85 TJ Ford
On March 3, it was still the home of the Spurs in San Antonio, and the NCAA Final Eight officially started.

"Welcome everyone to ESPN. Let us wait and see who can go to New Orleans today."

That's right, the host city of the Final Four is officially New Orleans, a beautiful port city.

It was still Lohengrin's commentary, but the guest commentator was changed, Slant Martin.

A very strange person, only the Texas Longhorns, or old fans who are very familiar with the NBA know.

After all, he was a player in the 50s, which is too far away for current fans.

The reason why he can come to the live commentary at such an old age is because he loves the University of Texas so much.

Of course, the more important reason is that many University of Texas fans believe that this year is a good time for the University of Texas.

Because, they own TJ Ford.

The University of Texas is also a well-known team in the NCAA, but the results achieved are not so impressive.

Two NCAA semi-finals, no championship, not even the finals.

However, the University of Texas has won 27 division championships in various competitions.

This year's University of Texas is coming aggressively, and their goal is not just the Final Four.

"Slanter, what do you think? Are you supporting the University of Texas?"

"Of course, you know, I'll be a Texan until the day I die."

Slant Martin is already very old, but he is still full of energy and looks energetic.

No way, ESPN also wants to invite other people, but there are too few stars from the University of Texas.

Although Slant Martin is old, but fortunately he has achieved good honors. His 7 All-Star experience allowed him to be selected into the Hall of Fame.

As for why it is necessary to invite celebrities from the University of Texas, it is naturally to increase the topic.

Logically speaking, as a commentator, there should be a neutral attitude, but it is obviously impossible for Slant to do so.

The purpose of ESPN is very simple, to cause disputes during the commentary process and to attract the attention of the audience.

"Texas!"

"Longhorn!"

……

Just when UCLA came on stage, cheers erupted immediately, completely suppressing the voices of UCLA fans.

After all, this is Texas, half of the home court of the University of Texas, so naturally there are more fans.

However, the lively entrance ceremony made Chen very uncomfortable, because he heard some words starting with C.

These are words used by whites, or Americans to discriminate against Asians and Chinese.

"Chen, don't listen to those idiots talking nonsense!"

Kapono quickly comforted him, he didn't want Chen Mo to affect the game state.

"Don't worry, I know."

It was not the first day for Chen Mo to come to the United States, nor was it the first time to play a game, so he naturally knew about the discrimination in the United States.

It can be said that it is very serious, white people discriminate against black people, and black people discriminate against other people of color.

Now is not the future after all. In the future, because of the development of the Internet, all kinds of news spread rapidly, which greatly limits the problem of discrimination.

But now, it can't be done, unless it is a particularly serious situation.

As for Texas, especially the home of the Mavericks, it is a well-known discriminatory stadium in the NBA, which is similar to the home of the Celtics.

Some people are fighting against Texas because they are discriminated against by the entire United States.

The fact is that many Americans, even other states in the United States, do not like Texas.

But Texans discriminate against other people because of it, which is completely unjustifiable, to be honest.

At the commentary booth, Lohengrin intends to pretend not to hear, after all, this kind of topic is not very good.

But who knew, Slant took the initiative to say: "Oh, you know, Texans are more enthusiastic and easily excited, but they don't mean to be malicious."

Fuck you, there is no malice!
Chen Mo was already in a bad mood, but now that he heard the old guy say that, he was even more upset.

Why is discrimination so serious in Texas?Not because of the teachings of these old guys.

Chen Mo didn't speak, but his expression was a little fierce, and his teammates could feel this breath.

They're doing an incredible thing right now, and that's praying for Texas that they won't be too miserable.

To goad a star, especially one who can do anything, is, frankly, unwise.

At 16:[-] noon, the referee officially blew the game after confirming that everything was ready.

UCLA's starting lineup still continued the previous game, but the University of Texas has changed.

On the forward and defensive line, Brad Buckman, who performed well, became a substitute, and Roy Ivey and Dekinard Erkins joined forces to partner on the flanks.

Roy Ivey has a certain shooting ability, but he is the defensive leader of the University of Texas.

The same is true for Erkins, who is considered a very good blue-collar player and is good at defense.

It is not difficult to see from the formation of troops that this is a change made by the University of Texas to target Chen Mo.

In terms of point guard, it is still TJ Ford, the power forward is Brian Bodeker with three-point accuracy, and the center, James Thomas, is extremely capable of protecting the basket.

When it comes to the University of Texas, you can't say TJ Ford. It can be said that this is a TJ Ford team.

TJ Ford's influence on the team was even greater than that of Chen Mo.

TJ Ford led the University of Texas in scoring, assists and steals this year.

TJ Ford has good shooting ability, as well as amazing breakthrough speed, can pass the ball, and can attack by himself.

If there is anything lacking, maybe it's just his thin body, but his steals are top-notch.

You know, after entering the NBA, even Iverson admitted that TJ Ford was the only person faster than him.

Facing such an opponent, Cedric is under a lot of pressure today. Of course, he also has an advantage.

With a whistle, Thomas grabbed the first attack for the University of Texas, and the ball naturally fell into the hands of TJ Ford.

TJ Ford dribbles upfield, watching the UCLA players set up, and Cedric's set up.

Cedric put a step away, mainly because he was worried about TJ Ford's breakthrough, but he didn't dare to put it too far, because he was afraid of Ford's shooting ability.

TJ Ford kept his face and didn't even ask for a pick-and-roll, but used his speed to eat Cedric raw.

That speed...

Not to mention Cedric, even Chen Mo was frightened, with such fast speed and explosive power.

The moment he saw TJ Ford's movement, Cedric moved, but he was still a step behind.

For this situation, UCLA had expected and made arrangements, that is, Hollins' defense.

Coach Steve has studied, TJ Ford is very strong, but not without shortcomings.

Limited by height and strength, the hit rate is very low in the face of tall players assisting defense and physical confrontation.

Although he is faster than Iverson, Iverson is far stronger than him, with stronger core strength and can make various extreme shots.
