The first time, the second time.

Chapter 32 Different opinions from the outside world

Randy Finley still didn’t dare to make up his mind to bet the future of the team directly on Wang Song.

However, in view of John’s insistence, he agreed to the other party’s request.

Decided to go to the finals to see how brilliant this Asian center can play.

He wanted to see the team that slaughtered Marquette and Dwyane Wade was unable to stop.

How can this Asian center perform in this environment.

···

The next day.

The media from all sides also summarized the results of the NCAA semi-finals and began to analyze the winning rate of the two teams.

“They are coming to the finals after a comeback. The black nine miracle is still going on. Crazy Wolfpack!” – New York Times

“The unstoppable Kansas Jayhawks, will North Carolina be their last stepping stone to win the championship?” – Boston Post

“Dwyane Wade of Marquette University: Team basketball will be the final answer to the NCAA!” – Miami Herald

“LeBron James, the top high school student in the United States: This year’s NCAA is too exciting. It is my regret that I didn’t go to college… No matter who the winner of the finals is, I will wait for you in the NBA.” – Cleveland News

···

There are countless reports like this.

In addition to the reports of major professional sports media, many individuals also commented on the confusing finals before the game.

TNT commentator Charles Barkley: “Last year’s comments on Yao made me kiss my ass haha… Undoubtedly, he refreshed my view of Asian big men. But I have to say that Wang Song is a completely different type from Yao. He is very tough under the basket, which is his advantage, but he does not have the soft touch of Yao in the mid-range. The double defense will make this little guy very uncomfortable. I am more optimistic that the Jayhawks will win the game with team basketball.”

His colleague Kenny Smith has a completely different view from Barkley.

“Charles’ vision is as bad as ever. Wang Song is definitely the most stable player in the NCAA. If you look at the post-match statistics, you will know that no one will have such luxurious data. That abnormal hit rate is simply amazing. If I am not mistaken, the current Jayhawks are definitely not as relaxed as Charles said. They must be having a headache about how to defend this Asian big man!”

···

The public opinion environment before the game also set off the entire atmosphere of the finals to the top.

Basically, the attention of sports fans across the United States has more or less paid attention to this game.

The overwhelming publicity from major media all day long also made Wang Song’s name gradually become well-known.

Many neutral American fans did not want the North Carolina Wolfpack to win.

After all, they just experienced a Chinese player being selected as the No. 1 pick last year, and this year they have to see a Chinese player win the NCAA championship trophy, which is unacceptable to them.

Herb Sendek is very satisfied with this situation.

The popularity these days is not in vain. In the previous post-match interviews, he repeatedly mentioned Wang Song and helped this little guy to promote.

Of course, Herb Sendek is not kind.

It’s just because Wang Song’s prospects are closely related to his career.

An unknown Asian boy suddenly rose to prominence, except for this Asian boy himself.

The biggest beneficiary is the team’s head coach!

Outsiders will praise the head coach’s vision, and a series of positive comments will be given to Herb Sendek.

After all, there are only a few college coaches who dare to give young people opportunities to perform.

When the outside world has enough attention on this Asian boy, naturally some NBA teams will set their sights on him.

So when preparing for the finals.

Herb Sendek also has new arrangements.

Herb Sendek, who tasted the sweetness in the semifinals, changed Wang Song’s tactical position into the main attacker on the offensive end, and designed a series of low-post offensive tactics in the interior.

The championship has become less important to Herb Sendek at this moment, even if it is the runner-up.

As long as Wang Song can hand in a beautiful answer sheet.

He can already foresee that his phone will be blown up after the season ends.

He will become the hottest college coach in the NCAA this season!

If it is the championship, Herb Sendek can no longer imagine it.

Leading a No. 9 seed to counterattack and win the championship will be recorded in history.

A scene.

······

Domestic.

The sports sections of major forums were directly dominated, especially when Wang Song’s North Carolina Wolfpack entered the finals.

All fans were like crazy, surfing the Internet intensively in front of the computer.

They opened the Internet and browsed the news reports of major sports websites.

“Wang Song’s luxurious data of 15 points, 8 assists, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks, a quasi-triple-double led the team into the finals! 》

“China Power! Crushed the Longhorns’ twin towers under the basket and helped the team lock in the victory! 》

“AI descendant? TJ Ford, the leader of the empty-cut group, scored 28 points alone, winning the data but losing the game. 》

“A comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the Wolfpack vs. the University of Kansas Jayhawks”

···

This kind of report almost dominated the Xinhu Sports list, and almost every Wang Song-related content would have hundreds of replies.

You know, in the social forums like Tianya Forum back then, a single main post with dozens of replies was already the top.

This is definitely far ahead for a relatively niche sports forum.

For a time, the attention paid to NCAA in China completely overwhelmed the NBA.

Even though Yao Ming’s current Rockets team is competing for the last playoff spot, the heart-wrenching viewing experience has distracted the original fans to observe the miracle created by another Chinese player.

The Rockets’ few reports can only be ranked behind the North Carolina Wolfpack.

New Fox Sports is naturally the biggest beneficiary.

The contract for signing Wang Song has been signed, but there is no time to conduct a special endorsement shoot during the season.

While other sports media are still racking their brains on how to get the broadcasting rights in America, New Fox Sports has already obtained the endorsement of the most popular player in China.

The exclusive NCAA live broadcast rights alone have put this website far ahead of other competitors.

This is the benefit of seizing the opportunity!

Once Wang Song’s season ends after the game, the endorsement shoot will be completed.

With the image of the spokesperson hanging there, New Fox Sports will surely sweep the world.

Now, New Fox Sports has become the leading sports media in China, and Zhong Yuan, the head of New Fox Sports, feels a bit dreamy when looking at the thriving website.

Until this moment, he still admires the long-term vision of investors.

He didn’t expect that his unintentional act of browsing the website late at night would make New Fox Sports take off by chance.

According to the investors’ wishes, he also recruited a group of sports editors and operators, and put up a column on NCAA games on the main page.

Now in the market, New Fox Sports can be said to be the only one.

As long as there are netizens watching football, even if they don’t like the New Fox Sports brand, they have to come here to take a look.
