Chapter 84 The Alamo Dome

April 4, Alamo Dome.

Today, a record 65489 people sat here, reaching capacity.

The restless atmosphere permeated the venue, everyone had excited expressions on their faces, and they talked loudly, converging into a buzzing sound in this grand space, stirring people's heartstrings, and making people become more and more excited. excited.

In the front row of the auditorium, Louis, Christie and the Dale family were impressive.

Before the final, the players and coaches of the two participating teams received official tickets to watch the match.

Zhang Yu originally wanted to invite his parents to watch the first final in his life, but Zhang Haijun and Li Yinghua directly refused when they heard that they wanted to watch the game in a stadium with tens of thousands of people.

The reason for the two is also very good. They don't know English or understand basketball. They might as well watch it at home. The son can watch it more clearly on TV, and there are commentaries.

Considering that his parents are really old and the long journey is very tiring, Zhang Yu no longer insists.

His ticket was useless. It happened that Louis and Christie wanted to watch the game but couldn't buy tickets. Curry simply asked for Zhang Yu's ticket and gave it to them.

Louis and Christie held hands, whispered a few words together from time to time, with sweet expressions on their faces, and the Dale couple sat aside with Seth and Siddel.

"Mr. Curry, we can win, can't we?" Louis asked a little stiffly.

"Don't worry, with Ronan and Stephen here, we will definitely win!" Dale laughed.

He expects the Bulldogs to win the championship, and it's best if Curry can play well, so that his draft prospects will become better.

Louis was very happy after hearing this, and turned around to chat with Christie.

He is not a professional fan, but Dell is a former NBA player, and he believes in Dell's judgment.

Sonya looked at Seth strangely. Instead of playing with Siddell as usual, he closed his eyes and said something silently.

"Seth, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?" Sonya asked with concern.

"Mom, I will pray for my brother again, I hope he can win the game." Seth opened his eyes and said.

"I can't see that you care so much about Stephen, but he often bullies you." Siddell shouted in surprise.

"What do you know, this is the NCAA finals, which is related to Stephen's future!" Seth said old-fashioned.

"Tch, don't try to lie to me, it's not that Stephen said that if he wins the championship, he will give you his game console..." The little girl's face was full of disdain.

"Sidel! How do you insult people's innocence? I'm not that kind of person at all..."

Not far from the siblings who were fighting, sat Duan Ran, a reporter from "Basketball Pioneer".

Last year, the Bulldogs only reached the top [-], so Su Qun came to interview him, not to mention the Bulldogs reached the finals this year.

"Basketball Pioneer" has done post-match reports on the Bulldogs' previous games, and this time it even sent Duan Ran to the scene to make a detailed report.

Domestic online media have reported on the NCAA for a long time, but they are all translated and reported on the spot based on news from American counterparts. This is the first time.

Looking at the empty Bulldogs bench, Duan Ran was full of curiosity about Zhang Yu.

He has lived in the United States for a long time, and he is well aware of the traditions and exclusion of American basketball.

And Zhang Yu can become the head coach of Butler University at the age of 24, which makes Duan Ran very admired.

He decided that even if Butler University did not win the finals, he would still say a few good words for Zhang Yu.

In a sense, the two of them can be regarded as half of the same team, and they both rely on basketball for a living.

In China, fans who pay attention to the NCAA also found the source of CBS's live broadcast through the wall, and watched the game from the Pacific Ocean.

Liu Zhiyuan is one of them. He can be said to be Zhang Yu's earliest follower in China.

Unlike other domestic fans who only know the Rockets and Yao Ming, Liu Zhiyuan is a hardcore fan who pays attention to high-level statistics, understands NBA trading and draft rules, and often watches NCAA games.

He is a graduate student majoring in English and has a good foundation in English to directly watch the reports of American media.

Last year, he was shocked to learn that a 24-year-old Chinese man had become the head coach of the Butler University Bulldogs.

From then on, he began to pay attention to Zhang Yu, and after Zhang Yu led the Bulldogs to the top [-], he completely became a fan of Zhang Yu.

Yes, he became a coach's fan.

There is no way, there are too few Chinese people who can make their way in the American basketball world. Apart from Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, Zhang Yu is the only one.

And Zhang Yu is even more rare than them. As long as you have the strength, players from any country can have a place in the NBA. If you are strong enough, you can become a superstar.

But there is no such young head coach as Zhang Yu in the United States.

This year's March Madness, Liu Zhiyuan watched every Bulldogs game, and now it's finally the last game.

"Coach Z, we must win!" He clenched his fists, full of apprehension.

Except for Battelle, who won by lying down, there is no Chinese who can justifiably win the championship in the United States, whether in the NCAA or the NBA, and Zhang Yu is the most promising one.

...

Meanwhile, on Wall Street in New York, Mark Baum steps out of a Bentley and into a skyscraper.

In half an hour, the seminar on subprime mortgage securities jointly held by several big banks will be held here, and Mark Baum easily obtained a place to attend.

He wants to see how those bankers can save the market that is about to collapse.

He followed the guides into the venue and found a place near the corner to sit down.

This is like a large screening hall, which can accommodate hundreds of people. Mark Baum came very early, and there were only more than [-] people in the venue.

In front of the venue, there are more than ten circular sofas, where bankers, investors, and economists hold discussions.

After looking around for a week, Mark Baum took out his mobile phone and sent Zhang Yu a text message:

"The seminar is about to start, sorry I can't watch the game, come on, I have prepared a championship gift for you."

After a while, he received a reply from Zhang Yu:

"Waiting for good news."

Zhang Yu, who was far away in the locker room of the visiting team at the Alamo Dome, put away his phone after sending a text message.

In front of him were the Bulldogs players, both excited and nervous.

Zhang Yu smiled slightly:

"Ready? We're going to play soon."
