Arizona State University, Basketball Club Activity Center.

Voices.

"We're going to win, baby, the Pistons are going to win."

Arizona State University students come from all over the United States, and many of them are international students from overseas, but the student component is naturally mainly Arizona students.

Ninety-nine percent of the NBA teams that the descendants of these Sun Nation like and support the most are the local team, the Phoenix Suns. Other teams can't say they like it or hate it, unless it's a feud, otherwise they are generally treated as equals.

At this time, the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs was in full swing, and most of the students gathered in the basketball center came to enjoy the fun of basketball. Neutral fans watch the game, and of course hope that the game will be as exciting and intense as possible. Now in this scene, the Pistons have a 22-point lead at home, and the suspense of the game is really not big.

The students discussed the details of the game with each other, and the knowledgeable ones still talked about what they thought was the reason for Philadelphia's failure, and the real content of the game, which few people paid attention to.

Garbage time.

With about one and a half minutes left in the third quarter, the home team led by 22 points, and the next game can basically be characterized as garbage time.

There was a heated discussion among the students and fans that there wasn't much to talk about in this game, because it was clear that the Pistons were playing well and the defense was very targeted. And this kind of defense of the Pistons can provide a template for other teams in the league, the best template for how to defend the Philadelphia 76ers and the Chinese kids.

It's just that the template is a template, and whether it can be done depends on the team's execution and staffing.

In terms of Pistons' perimeter defense, Billups and Hamilton are both above-caliber defenders, and their styles complement each other.

Prince, on the other hand, is a roaming defense machine capable of defending fast breaks, long-arm steals and blocks.

The combination of these three players is something that no other team has. It's such an outside combination. It just happens to lock Philadelphia's outside line completely, which is the fundamental reason why the Pistons have been able to achieve such a huge advantage at the moment.

And on the 76ers' side, how bad is the play, except for the absolute core of the team, the Chinese boy, the rest of the players are playing very poorly, almost no impact. It is also reasonable that the game was spent.

"Mostly Lowry."

A student spoke: "The 76ers' backcourt point guard is too tender, and he was beaten all over the ground by Billups. ”

"That's right, if the 76ers want to go further, they still have to find a way to improve the ability of the No. 1 position." Another student nodded, "I really don't understand." Why not leave Miller behind? Although the long-range shot is terrible, Miller has experience and will not be blown up by Billups in this kind of situation. ”

"It's not interesting for you to say that." One classmate, estimated to be half a Philadelphia fan, said: "Miller is in good shape, but the fighting spirit and potential are like that." Philadelphia says it's rebuilding, but it's the team that has made the playoffs two years in a row. I don't think a team in this state can be said to be rebuilding, it should be said that it is a temporary excess, a handover of the scepter. ”

"From Aaron to the Chinese kid?"

"That's right." The Philadelphia fan nodded and said, "If Philadelphia is being rebuilt, then I agree with you." Keeping an experienced veteran point guard like Miller really helps the team get through difficult times. But now it's not a rebuild, it's a lot of accumulation, and the whole team is young and energetic. Leaving Miller isn't necessarily better than Lowry. ”

"ANYWAY, EVEN IF YOU'RE RIGHT." The classmate who was sprayed was not detached, waved his hand and smiled: "But this game was lost to Lowry, there is nothing to doubt about this, right?" ”

“…… That's right. Philadelphia fans are powerless to refute either.

The most important game. Lost to the point guard.

It's actually unfair to Lowry to say this, because except for Chen Mu, Korver's hand feels bad. Iguodala was also mediocre, and the bench, which used to be omnipotent in the past, was also suppressed by the Pistons' overall defense. The pot is not Lori's alone.

But the most critical link is Lowry, it is here that he started to drop the chain first, and gradually accumulated, which eventually led to the current situation, which is absolutely true.

The Philadelphia 76ers exchanged Miller for not only Lowry, but the result was that Lowry became the starter, and this ending made most fans vaguely believe in their hearts that the 76ers were trading Miller for Lowry.

Maybe if Miller was still on the team, the 76ers wouldn't be where they are today. But people's memories change over time, and just to say that in this game, Lowry was indeed the cause of Philadelphia's defeat.

Wait, ...... cause of failure?

The game is not over yet, why is everyone already talking about the cause of the defeat?

Is Philadelphia really out of the slightest chance??

"Hmph~"

Just as the conversation shifted from the game at hand to the Suns' upcoming second-round semifinals, a somewhat familiar voice sounded at the door of the event center.

"Eh, what a pity~!"

Everyone looked at each other, and when they heard this voice, some members of the basketball club had even clenched their fists and unconsciously moved to a corner.

In that corner, the TV continued to play the game, and an Oriental girl sat quietly, silent, with her hands folded.

She was praying.

"88 to 66, a 22-point difference? Tut-tut, it seems that it won't work~! ”

The one who entered the door was the white guy who bet with Su Yin that day, and at this time the Pistons were about to win, the series was about to come to an end, and everything would be settled in about half an hour. The young man who had disappeared for several days and did not dare to show his face in the activity center finally seized the opportunity and walked into the door with a high spirit, followed by several people.

"Yo, there's a lot of people! I'll see, they're all here to watch the game? The young man swept around, and saw that everyone's eyes had been completely attracted by himself, and he was very satisfied with this effect, and said with a sneer: "Still...... Coming to see another hilarious ......? ”

"Pete, keep a low profile~"

Behind the young man, a hotly dressed white girl with blonde hair curled in big waves, just from the dress she couldn't tell the appearance of a student at all, with a cigarette in her mouth, she said that she wanted to keep a low profile, but the expression on her face was very arrogant.

"Show me which woman it is? I've never beaten an Asian woman. ”

As if no one was in a no-man's land, several people walked in the direction of the TV, reaching out and violently pushing away the crowd along the way, causing a lot of complaints.

"Yo, here~!"

The young man named Pete saw Su Yin sitting in front of the TV, and laughed: "Are you ready, Oriental porcelain doll, which half of your face are you going to be beaten?" The Bible says that if you are beaten on one side, you have to stick out your face on the other side and beat someone, hahahaha......"

"What are you talking about?"

In front of the TV, Su Yin stared at the screen intently, didn't get up, didn't look back, didn't even glance at the young man's group, Gu Zi said: "The game is not over yet, but you, are you ready to apologize?" ”

“……”

Pete didn't expect that this Oriental girl could still remain calm in this situation, her face sank, and she groaned for a while: "This is not dead? Hmph, it's really stubborn. If you're not a yellow person, that's a good character. It's a pity that I don't have a crush on the colored caste. ”

"Pete, that's too much!"

The members of the basketball club stepped forward and glared at Pete, who hurriedly laughed, waved his hands in front of him and said, "Okay, haha, can't everyone be so joking?" Okay, well, the game isn't over, is it? Then I'll wait for the game to end, and I'll see what confidence you have to sit here after the game! ”

"Find your own stool."

Su Yin responded indifferently, surrounded by several friends, blowing his beard and glaring at Pete, like a bodyguard.

Aren't you afraid......?

In Su Yin's heart, he had already been in chaos.

is not as arrogant and unafraid as his father, Su Yin is a very well-behaved child in his bones. Since I was a child, in addition to playing with my friends in the same block, I was either at home or at school on weekdays, and I was helping out in an electrical appliance store, and I never caused trouble outside.

Now this situation is something that Su Yin never thought of anyway. She didn't expect that just watching sports competitions would actually lead to people to blame the problem. She didn't even expect that if she didn't respond, the other party would bully her and step on the dignity of her own nation.

What she didn't expect the most was that in the face of the other party's provocation, she didn't know where to gush out of a surge of courage, and waving her hand was a slap in the face.

Is this the gene my dad left me......?

Su Yin didn't know the answer either.

It's just that now, everything is irretrievable, what happened has happened, and the vows made need to be fulfilled.

As a girl, Su Yin could break the contract after the game, and run away without keeping her oath. But she clearly knew that if she did this, she would just leave the other party with more truth, and she could mock her own nation more unscrupulously.

Absolutely not give in to ......!

Su Yin, who grew up in the United States, has an oriental atmosphere in his bones, but he is also somewhat influenced by culture and is very aware of the social reality of the United States.

The strong, the strong who abide by their oath and do not back down, can be respected.

This is America.

Everything you can get, you have to work hard to get it.

Especially as a disadvantaged group, you can't give up ...... easily!

In the depths of Su Yin's heart, the warm current surged, and the spring of courage continued to stretch from Arizona all the way to Michigan, pulling out a red thread called trust from the basketball club activity center, connecting the heart of the man who was fighting hard against the boos of the Auburn Hills Palace court.

...... will win!

Philadelphia will win.

Brother Mu, you will win......!

"Huh!"

Believe it or not, Brother Mu scored again. (To be continued.) )
