New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 191 Uncle Long's Ring

Before the NCAA Finals, the third place game will start first, with the Ohio State University Buckeyes playing against the Southern Methodist University Broncos.

Because the Broncos are in the same American Athletic League as their opponents in the lower-half semifinals, the Memphis Tigers, the league has the potential to hold two of the Big Three spots this year.

This is also an extremely rare situation in the history of the NCAA.Even in the strongest league, there will always be teams eliminated by stronger teams in other leagues due to the lottery problem.

But this year, because the Broncos' strongest stumbling block on the road to promotion, the Syracuse University Oranges suffered a wave of injuries. Not only were the core injured, but even important rotations were unable to appear.

They were so lucky to be sent to the semi-finals.Similar to the situation with the Broncos, the Buckeyes' strongest opponent also suffered injuries.

So this battle for the third place is also called the battle for the luckiest.Luck is also a kind of strength, and no one will make irresponsible remarks about their promotion path.

And because the venue of the game is Moody Field, home of the Broncos, all members of the Memphis Tigers were also invited.

The opponent's Buckeyes didn't dare to show weakness, like the Bruins sent out an invitation to all members, and offered to bear their travel expenses.Obviously he didn't want to lose the game.

But they seem to have forgotten that the Bruins and the Buckeyes have neither any friendship nor the same league.

At first, Zhang Yi and others thought that Wacker would refuse, after all, this man is the most troublesome man.But they never expected that the head coach agreed with a smile.

The reason also surprised them. The head coach of the Buckeyes once served as an assistant coach for the Lakers for a period of time.And it was when Wacker was still a player.

Although this would delay one day of training, Wacker did not refuse considering his old friendship.

The stadium is located in College Park, Texas, and Zhang Yi and others are almost there for the first time. Since they are attending the game, they are more relaxed.

During the day, Zhang Yi, Wally and Robert wandered around the city.I didn't expect that the basketball supplies store here is still very popular.

The University of Science and Technology has always been a strong team in the NCAA. It was only after the University of Memphis Tigers rose that they took away their status as the leader of the competitive league.

So over the years, the city's basketball enthusiasm has been reflected in the basketball mall and community courts.

Because he worked and trained in Uncle Long's basketball store since he was a child, Zhang Yi ran in when he saw a similar place.

Wally and Robert are still surprised. After all, they have already signed the sneaker contract, and they can't buy anything even if they go to the mall.

"Hey, Yi, there won't be any commemorative limited products here, let's go."

Robert pulled Zhang Yi to go out, because he finally got out, and he was more interested in women from other places than sneakers.

In addition, it is impossible to have treasures worth collecting in such a small place, and it is just a waste of time to go shopping.

Hearing his words, the bearded boss in the store rolled his eyes heavily at him, then walked silently to the shelf. "I hate being looked down upon by dogs the most in my life." "You say I don't have any commemorative limited products?"

The mustache boss turned the shelves in front of them, but he didn't expect that there were hidden collectibles on the other side.

"Tch, what good things can you have?" Robert said disdainfully and leaned over, and then knelt down in the next second.

"Fuck, this is Kobe's autographed letter when he retired, and his signature?!" "And the towel that James used in his retirement game?"

"Haha, this is Curry's signature basketball the night he scored 79 points!!!"

Wali and Zhang Yi were also dumbfounded, because they never expected that this small shop is so powerful.

"Boss, do you want to buy it?" Zhang Yi pointed to one of the retaining rings, because it was marked with a big red dragon character, which was obviously the retaining ring that Wang Long had used back then.

The boss shook his head proudly, "This is something that Wang Long used back then, and it cannot be measured by money at all!"

"It doesn't matter how much it is, you can count it!" Zhang Yi leaned against the glass and stared at the thing intently.

"Don't buy it, don't buy it." At this moment, Wali pulled him aside, "Boss, don't you know this guy?"

Mustache shook his head, "I'm not interested in news about little brats, so I don't know them."

"Even Zhang Yi doesn't know what kind of sports mall you still open. He is Wang Long's only disciple, and is now the core player of the UCLA Bruins. He is a candidate for the No. [-] pick in the draft in the second half of this year."

Such a long list of titles confused the mustache, "What does that have to do with me?"

"This is my shoe. It is limited to the first generation. I will sign it and give it to you. The future value will definitely be a hundred times stronger than this retainer!"

Zhang Yi said that he had already started to take off his shoes, but the mustache hadn't agreed yet.He has already signed and stuffed this pair of shoes into the hands of the boss, "Change it! You won't suffer!"

"Give it to him, these shoes are really valuable." Suddenly, a voice came from behind them.

Moreover, the voice was very familiar. When Zhang Yi and the others turned their heads, it was the golden bald Sean and Genji standing in front of them.

"My God, it turned out to be Master Sean, you're here." The mustache owner's attitude changed immediately, because the big boss of this chain sporting goods store was Sean's father.

Of course, Mustache immediately believed what he said.

And seeing the boy's insistence, the boss took out the key and sealed the retainer ring and handed it to Zhang Yi. Although he can't see the value of these shoes now, they may indeed become very valuable in the future. If they There are no lying words.

"Thank you." Zhang Yi said seriously to Sean when the group left the sporting goods store.Because this retainer is really important to him.

"Small, are you invited by the Buckeyes?" "That's right, so it's about the same as you."

"It's really annoying, as your gratitude to me, why don't you find a venue to compete?!"

Hearing Xiao En's words, Zhang Yi originally didn't plan to mess around in normal times. After all, it would be too worthless if he was injured before the final, but now, after all, he has a kindness for himself, so let's fight once!

Wally and Robert still wanted to stop it, but Zhang Yi had already nodded and agreed, and the five of them went to a nearby basketball court.

Because Sean often followed his father to inspect the operation of these stores, he knew the situation in this area very well.

When a group of them walked to a court, they happened to find ten people playing a game.

"How about changing the place?" "Yeah." As soon as Xiao En finished speaking, he realized that this was not a game, but a complete bullying. The five players on one side were not only injured, but also verbally insulted by their opponents for every ball... …

"What are you thinking?" Sean looked at Zhang Yi and asked. "Don't you think so too?"

The two of them suddenly walked onto the field together, "Are you capable of playing a game with us?"

The arrogant five immediately laughed when they saw a few of them, "Haha, there are a few more brats here, I'm so happy today..."
