Chapter 120 Interviewed by ESPN, revealing the truth
Fans of the cavalry team were so excited, this game was enjoyable to watch, the soldiers came to block, and the water came to cover up!
Brown suppressed Herman tightly, which made Buffalo coach Alan look sad.
In the next few rounds, Herman struggled to catch the ball.
Even if he gets the ball, Brown and Zhao Qiang will take turns to "take care" of him.
If it weren't for Billups' forced three-pointer, the Buffalo's outside line would really be misfired.
No way, Herman's defense is very average. If he can't make three-pointers, then it's useless to stay on the court.
Alan had to replace him again.
At this time, with more than 5 minutes left in the second half, the score between the two sides was 78:71, and the Cavalry had already led by 7 points.
Coach Alan called a timeout, and he was going to make a last-ditch effort.
Brown was so excited, he found himself a big help to the team for the first time.
He rushed to Zhao Qiang, bowed deeply, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Qiang!"
Zhao Qiang quickly put his arms around his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Thank you, it's your own efforts, keep on fighting them!"
The teammates on the bench also came over and gave Brown a high-five to celebrate.
……
The media broadcast the game live, and the commentator on the sidelines even exclaimed repeatedly: "Is the Cavalry team going to be black to the end? Just eliminated the No. 5 seed. Are they going to eliminate the No. 6 seed?"
Not only the media, but also the fans have a strong interest in the Cavalry.
Many fans from other schools are inquiring, wanting to know what is the origin of Zhao Qiang, the captain of the cavalry team?It's so strong!
Ray Allen of the University of Connecticut and Billups of the University of Colorado didn't even take advantage of it.
Coupled with Marbury of Georgia Tech, so many star guards are folded in his hands?
……
After the timeout ended, the main players of the Buffaloes returned to the field.
The Cavalry also replaced four main players, plus Brown.
Brown and Xiaode take turns to appear on the stage, mainly depending on the specific situation of the opponent's lineup.
Xiaode's advantage is defense and organization, and he is very skilled in pick-and-roll with the inside.
Brown's strengths are shooting and single defense.
The time-out is over and the game continues.
The Buffaloes really worked hard. As soon as their players came up, they launched a fierce attack, especially small forward Duo Lun, who frequently asked for the ball.
Doron's ability is still very strong. He and Billups cooperated tacitly and played several times in a row.
The point difference was narrowed to 4 points.
Just when the buffalo team was in full swing, Zhao Qiang made another move.
He first made a gesture with Daben to strengthen the defense, and asked Daben to give up center Alec and go to help defend Duolun.
At the same time, the big black dragon stood on the edge of the penalty area, ready to start at any time.
Zhao Qiang also kept cruising between Billups and Duo Lun, putting pressure on Duo Lun.
This defensive tactic brought the Buffalo team's offense to a standstill. Da Ben gave Gallon a big hat, and Zhao Qiang also caught him by surprise and gave him a steal.
On the offensive end, Zhao Qiang created a lot of opportunities for his teammates by breaking through and scoring the ball. His teammates were also very competitive and scored most of them.
The point difference was slowly opened again.
With more than 1 minute left in the game, the point difference returned to 9 points.
The head coach of the Buffaloes, Alan, sat blankly on the coaching bench and stopped talking.
In the end, the Cavalry defeated the Buffaloes tenaciously and advanced strongly to the top 16!
Zhao Qiang played 33 minutes today and scored 26 points, the player with the most points from both sides.
Brown also played well today, making 6 of 5 three-pointers and scoring 15 points.
Billups scored 18 points and sent 7 assists today, which is quite satisfactory. Duo Lun scored 25 points, second only to Zhao Qiang.
After the game, Billups walked up to Zhao Qiang, smiled bitterly, and said, "Congratulations, Zhao Qiang, you played really well. It seems that Ray Allen's warning was right. You are indeed difficult to deal with."
Zhao Qiang shook his head and said: "Maybe you all underestimate the enemy, Ray Allen is no worse than me, you also have many advantages, I will learn more from you."
"You Chinese like to be humble, low-key, and play so well!"
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before parting.
……
The NCAA game has a popular name, the top 16 is called the "Sweet Sixteen", and the top 8 is called the "Elite Eight."
The teams that can enter the top sixteen are all the top teams in the NCAA, and no team is sure to beat another team easily.
The cavalry team defeated strong enemies and attracted the attention of fans and the media, especially ESPN, which made a special feature to introduce the cavalry team players, especially Zhao Qiang's growth process.
This is where the American star-making movement came of age.
ESPN has been following Zhao Qiang for a while, and has a lot of Zhao Qiang's material in hand, and edited a short documentary.
In the film, Zhao Qiang is shown in front of the fans on the camera from life, to training, to the game.
Fans found that this young man of Chinese descent not only plays basketball well, but also behaves sunny, positive and handsome in his daily life.
Before the 16-to-8 game, ESPN conducted another exclusive interview with Zhao Qiang.
In fact, with Zhao Qiang's personality, he doesn't like to be interviewed with great fanfare before the game, which is too high-profile.
However, ESPN reporters persuaded: The fans like Zhao Qiang too much, so they want to know more about him.
In the era of underdeveloped Internet, there are too few ways for fans to know and contact players, and they can only use official interviews or mainstream media reports.
Zhao Qiang felt that what the reporter said made sense, so he agreed.
Before going to the interview, Tang Xiaowan deliberately took Zhao Qiang to buy a new set of clothes.
Zhao Qiang usually wears very simple clothes, he himself thinks that wearing clothes is clean, just be generous.
But for an exclusive interview, you still have to dress up.
Tang Xiaowan specially asked for half a day off, walked around the mall with Zhao Qiang for several hours, and bought him a set of outfits.
Looking at himself in the mirror of the shopping mall, Zhao Qiang couldn't help laughing, then turned his head and asked, "Xiao Wan, is it necessary? Do you still want to wear a tuxedo?"
Tang Xiaowan looked at it, and felt that it was inappropriate, a bit funny.
Suddenly, Tang Xiaowan patted her head, as if she suddenly remembered something.
"I see, Qiang, these clothes are not suitable for us."
After speaking, Tang Xiaowan dragged Zhao Qiang to a nearby Chinese clothing store.
There, there are all kinds of traditional Chinese clothing, such as Hanfu, Tang suit, Qipao and so on.
Zhao Qiang also nodded again and again, and praised: "Yes! These clothes are still comfortable to wear!"
So, Zhao Qiang tried on several clothes, finally decided, and bought a Tang suit that fit well.
"Tang Xiaowan bought a Tang suit for her husband, what is the second line?" Zhao Qiang asked with a smile.
"Stop being silly!
Tang Xiaowan blushed and said in a low voice.
"No culture, the second line is Zhao Daqiang taking pictures of his wife! Haha!"
