I am Really an Insider

Chapter 53 052: Elite Eight

Steve Patterson chose to turn off the TV because he knew that this upset was inevitable.

Sure enough, when he was discussing with his partner John Nash whether it would be appropriate to select Wayne in the lottery, the game in Baltimore was over.

"It's over, the game is over! 88 to 82, Oklahoma State crossed the corpse of Illinois State University! They officially became part of the Elite Eight!"

The on-site commentator stood up and cheered, and the most desirable scene in March Madness was finally staged.

This has always been the theme of March Madness.

And today, the Cowboys led by Wayne broke their first big upset since the start of March Madness!

Although three minutes ago, the Warriors were only 3 points behind.

But at the critical moment, when the Cowboys strengthened their defense, it was not so easy to equalize this seemingly small 3-pointer.

Once you are suppressed by the opponent, the 3-point gap will also make it difficult for you to move.

Therefore, the 3-point gap eventually became 6 points, and the Warriors narrowly lost Baltimore!

Deron Williams put his hands on his knees, panting heavily.

It's been a while since the game ended, but it's still hard for him to accept the fact.

They were aiming for the championship, but they were eliminated in the Sweet Sixteen, which is simply heartbreaking!

"Damn it, if only the NCAA also played 48 minutes! I can definitely bring the game back with 8 more minutes!" Beside Deron, Luther Hyde knelt on one knee and slammed the floor hard.

Now, he really became Luthor.

At the last critical moment today, Luther Hyde missed many times under the defense of Wayne and Tony Allen.

On the defensive end, he had nothing to do with Wayne.

He was convinced that he just felt bad about being offensive for a while.

If he had eight more minutes, he would definitely be able to lead the team to advance!

But in fact, if the game has 8 minutes more, the Warriors may be even worse.

Di Brown was the calmest of the Three Musketeers, not so much calm as dull.

He crossed his hips, looked at the Cowboys players who were embracing each other from a distance, and then shook his head secretly.

Originally, it was they who celebrated each other at this time

On the sidelines of the court, Browns Webb was shaking hands with old Sutton.

Weber was quite depressed, but he couldn't help smiling when facing the old man.

However, the old Sutton did not intend to save face for Weber, who was already embarrassed enough.

He looked at Weber and patted the opponent's shoulder: "It seems that defense is still the foundation of our foothold, Weber."

"Hmm, congratulations on your team's victory, Coach Sutton." What can Weber do? I can only nod and bow.

Competitive sports, whoever wins is the uncle.

Whoever loses can only pretend to be a grandson.

If Webb had won today, he could have arrogantly said to Sutton: "Offense is the future, old man."

It's a pity that he missed this opportunity to pretend to beep.

Sutton does have reason to be proud. On the surface, the two sides were fighting against each other in this game and scored a high score.

But what really allowed the Cowboys to win the game was precisely the defense at the last moment.

At critical moments, the Cowboys can defend, but the Warriors cannot, it's as simple as that.

After shaking hands with the opposing coach, Sutton turned to look at the court.

Only to find that Wayne has been surrounded by several reporters.

After helping the team defeat Wake Forest in the previous game, Wayne once again became the key to the Cowboys' victory today and became the focus of attention.

"32 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, you became the first player in the history of the Cowboys to score 30+10 in the March Madness tournament! Wei, tell me how you feel right now !?"

"Uh" Looking at the beautiful blonde lady in front of him, Wayne suddenly didn't know what to say.

It wasn't because she was beautiful, it was because he didn't know that he had broken the record in team history again, so he wasn't ready to speak.

Speaking of which, Augustine is really soft today, Wayne actually has the illusion that he is a super scorer after hitting the back

When Augustine was defending, Wayne felt that instead of facing up to the difficulties, he was avoiding himself a bit.

This Nima, if you don't get 30 points, you will be sorry for Augustine's efforts.

He has worked very hard, don't scold him anymore.

Do you know how hard he was trying to overcome his fear?

In the last 58 seconds of the game, he actually fouled Wayne!

The only foul on Wayne in the game.

Wayne shook his head, this record is very reasonable.

"Really? I didn't know I broke the record. I'm happy because we survived another round. It was not easy and we didn't decide until the very end. But we kept at it, I am very happy."

Wayne spread his hands, he really didn't know anything about team history records.

Now that I know it, I'm not particularly excited.

Compared with the team history record, the joy brought by the victory to Wayne is stronger.

"Indeed, it is not easy to enter the Elite Eight. This means that the Cowboys are only three games away from the NCAA championship! What do you think is your chance of winning the championship?"

The blonde beauty asked Wayne another very fiery question.

The teams that can enter the elite eight are really the out-and-out championship candidates.

A team may be able to win one or two rounds by luck, but a team that can win three rounds in a row is definitely very capable!

"Odds? One in eight. We won't admit defeat, so I think our chances are the same as others."

After answering the reporters' questions, Wayne walked back to the sidelines.

At this time, he found that most of the Illinois State players had left the game.

It is estimated that those proud championship candidates cannot accept the humiliation of being eliminated early.

"Good job, I love you so much! We actually defeated the Three Musketeers, they are the Three Musketeers, hahahahaha!"

Suddenly, Mr. Tony jumped up and climbed onto Wayne's back, saying some disgusting words.

"So, the Ohio State Shuangju are not weak." Wayne walked a few steps with Teacher Tony on his back.

I think how many people laughed at me when the title of "Shuang Shao" in Ohio was first spread.

But now?

When the famous Three Musketeers were all defeated by Shuang Shao, no one dared to question the gold content of Wayne and Tony Allen.

Even Paul in front of the TV smiled gratifiedly: "As expected of the opponent I trained, he is really strong!"

If Wayne knew that Paul was putting money on his face like this, he would have to talk to him a million times.

Deron was eliminated, which is the result Paul most wanted to see.

Facts have proved that the boy Deron can't beat anyone he can't beat.

How many data did Deron get today? With 15 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds, Wayne beat him by the block!

For the first time, Paul felt so happy about his opponent's victory.

According to the original "plan", Paul should start cursing Wayne for losing at this time.

He's done his job, it's time to disappear.

But Paul found that he suddenly didn't want Wayne to lose.

The farther he goes, the more it means that he is not ashamed to lose?

If the Cowboys can finally reach the final four, it will not be so unacceptable to spread that Wake Forest lost to a semi-final team.

"Well, the matter of revenge will be discussed in the NBA next year. Now, please stay on course, kid."

Paul hummed a little tune and turned off the TV.

The fact that Delong was eliminated was enough for Paoer to enjoy himself for several days.

※※※

After retiring from the Wizards, the man known as "God"-Michael Jordan, was happy to be at ease.

He temporarily stayed away from the intriguing place of the NBA, and while focusing on building his own business empire, he enjoyed a leisurely life.

Jordan is really tired.

Because nearly a year ago, he had just experienced a betrayal.

As we all know, Jordan once sold his shares in the Wizards in 2001, and at the same time resigned from the team's management position, signed a two-year minimum salary and returned to the court.

Because of the NBA's regulations, players cannot hold shares in the team, and the Wizards hope that Jordan will come back to lead the team into the playoffs, so that the world's attention will be focused on the Wizards.

Therefore, Jordan had to "clean himself out of the house" and come back as a player again.

At that time, Jordan made an agreement with Wizards owner Abby Pollin that after he really ended his playing career and helped the Wizards attract popularity, he could immediately return to work in the Wizards management.

However, the end result was not like this.

When Jordan retired after playing for the Wizards for two years and wanted to return to the management, Wizards owner Abby Pollin refused to let Jordan return to the management on the grounds that "the team needs to change the direction of development".

Jordan has always been an extremely competitive guy and a hugely successful winner, so he can get pretty pissed off when things don't go his way.

In Jordan's view, commitment is more important than anything else. But in the eyes of the team owner, as long as there is nothing written in black and white, it can be changed.

As a result, Jordan and Abby Pauline had a big quarrel, completely tearing their skins apart, and the relationship between the two officially broke down.

That night, Jordan returned to Chicago directly, and Abby Pollin's wife also said: "Abby was trembling with anger when he came home that night."

In this way, Michael Jordan temporarily faded out of the NBA. Although he still wants to return to the league as a manager, after experiencing this betrayal or deception, Jordan still feels exhausted.

He decided to take it slow first, and continue his dream of being a team owner when the time is right.

Now Jordan tries not to pay attention to NBA affairs. He cares more about NCAA games than NBA.

The kind of basketball environment that is not about business, no intrigue, no deceit and betrayal, but only about victory and hard work, makes Jordan miss it very much.

Jordan, who has just experienced intrigues, especially misses the simplicity of the NCAA.

So, when Jordan learned that his alma mater, North Carolina, had once again reached the Elite Eight in March Madness, he immediately said: "I'm going to watch the game!"

So, Jordan checked the matchup list for this year's March Madness tournament.

The Flyers were very excited when they saw that North Carolina's opponent in the quarterfinals was Ohio State University.

As the biggest dark horse this year, Ohio State University is so famous that even Jordan has heard of it.

North Carolina against the dark horses, just thinking about it, you know how intense this game will be.

Jordan then pre-purchased front volleyball tickets, ready to return to the scene to experience the atmosphere of campus basketball.

At the same time, we must also witness our alma mater reach the final semi-finals again!

Well, Ohio State is strong, they have an amazing Chinese, a wise coach and a guard who is fighting all the time.

But so what? They are facing North Carolina!

Michael Jordan didn't worry too much about the result of the game. He subconsciously believed that North Carolina's victory was a matter of course.
