Chapter 87: The competition has just begun!

"Huh... the first half was too intense. I didn't expect Douglas to play so well. Fortunately, Rose was restrained." Liu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood fluctuated with the game. It's over, calmed down for a while.

He opened a penguin colony, which was already chatting in full swing.

"666, I didn't expect Rose to score 7 points at halftime, Butler could really win the championship!"

"I said it earlier, Coach Z yyds! His small lineup is too quintessential."

"I think the NCAA is no longer suitable for Coach Z. He should go to the NBA. Even Calipari and Pitino can go. Coach Z is no better than them."

Liu Zhiyuan looked at the messages in the group, and also sent a message:

"It's only the first half. Don't get carried away. Douglas is a hidden danger. He hasn't won the championship yet. Let's save some character!"

This is an NCAA fan group he joined, which has more than 20 members.

In addition to admiring the star's performance, they also pay attention to the coach's tactics and lineup. It can be said that they are rare hardcore fans in China. Because of Zhang Yu's relationship, they are all supporters of the Bulldogs.

"I don't know how to lose. Rose can't score at all."

"Don't fuck! I'll fuck you up again!"

In far away San Antonio, Rose didn't know that there was a Huaxia fan who disdained him, but he also knew that he had to make changes in the second half.

In the Tigers locker room, Calipari was fussing and making arrangements:

"Chris, you did a good job in the first half. The opponent's attention should still be on Derek in the second half. You continue to attack Curry and consume as much of his energy as possible. Derek, your first half Great distribution, keep it up, you've created a lot of floor space for Chriss..."

"Coach, leave the offense to me, they can't defend me." Rose said suddenly.

Calipari was taken aback for a moment, then overturned his arrangement:

"Okay, you have unlimited fire rights!"

From Rose's calm eyes, he saw firmness and confidence.

Ross is a quiet person who doesn't often express his thoughts, but whenever he does, he will definitely give it his all.

In the past season, he has never disappointed Calipari, and Calipari once again put the treasure on him.

And in the Bulldogs locker room, the atmosphere was not much more relaxed than that of the Tigers.

In the first half, the two sides played very anxiously, the situation was also chaotic, and the victory or defeat was unpredictable. The Bulldogs players were under great pressure.

Zhang Yu said:

"Don't be nervous, we are the leading side, everyone did a good job, keep it up in the second half. Jimmy, no matter how many points Andre scores, you have to focus on Rose, Steph, your fitness is still there Can you support it... OK? Very good, hold on for another 20 minutes... Anyone who has a physical problem can bring it up, but Stephen and Jimmy, you must stay on the court, after 20 minutes, we will hold that trophy with our own hands!"

"Yes, sir!" shouted the players.

Zhang Yu nodded in satisfaction and let the players rest and adjust themselves.

There is a principle in the game of basketball, that is, the dominant side does not take the lead in making changes.

Although the game scene is now showing a balanced trend and the score is tight, the Bulldogs have restricted the performance of Rose, the core player of the Tigers, which is a huge advantage.

Compared with Curry and Rose, Douglas is not a player of the same level. Zhang Yu can tolerate his performance. As long as he can contain Rose like he did in the first half, it will be my advantage.

The 15-minute intermission passed quickly, and the two teams returned to the field.

Liu Zhiyuan quickly withdrew from the group of penguins, and Seth, who was going to buy Coke and popcorn, also hurried back to his seat. Duan Ran stopped typing on the keyboard, and everyone focused on the small field. Waiting for the final battle.

Rose came to the field with light steps, with a calm expression and a long breath, as if he hadn't played in the first half. Only the sharp eyes that occasionally flashed in his eyes showed his determination to win this game.

He is a highly anticipated genius, even though he is young and mature, his blood is hot and his heart is proud.

He can't tolerate doing nothing in the final and letting his teammates decide the outcome of the game.

Rose wants to prove that he is worthy of the title of No. [-] pick, and he wants to enter the NBA with his head held high!

"Di-"

When the whistle sounded, Rose took the serve from his teammate and walked to the frontcourt with a serious expression.

The game has just begun!

...

New York, Wall Street.

At the seminar on subprime mortgage securities, Mark Baum looked at the front coldly, and an investor was talking eloquently:

"The real estate market is a stable and prosperous market. Subprime mortgage securities have only suffered some small fluctuations. I own $[-] million worth of Bear Stearns stock because I believe it will continue to rise. Bear Stearns has just returned from ** **Where to get a huge loan..."

His expression is very confident, coupled with his identity as a Wall Street boss and his net worth of tens of billions, every sentence is so convincing.

But the audience in the conference hall didn't buy it, and most of them showed half-belief.

The shocks and fluctuations in the subprime mortgage market are there. These fund managers and investors have their own judgments, and they cannot be swayed by the words of the bosses.

"It's fallen! The share price of Bear Stearns has dropped from $49 to $42!" a low exclamation came from Mark Baum's side.

He changed his expression and took out his mobile phone to check.

Bear Stearns is one of the well-known companies in the multiple loan securities market, and it is also a market vane in people's eyes.

"$42... $41..." Mark Baum muttered, looking at his phone.

Every time he refreshes, a new number will appear on the screen.

Apparently, he was not the only one who noticed the fluctuations in Bear Stearns' stock price. People began to whisper to each other, buzzing conversations broke out, and the quiet order was broken.

The boss on the stage noticed the turmoil in the venue and showed doubts on his face. The assistants under the stage ignored his speech and rushed to the stage to whisper something in his ear, which made his face change drastically.

The host sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly maintained order in the venue, but with little effect.

"It's $39, my God, the ABX (Subprime Derivative Bond Composite Index) has also begun to fall, is this about to have a big shock?"

Some people groaned in panic, and many people looked at their mobile phones with ashen faces. They were all investors who were optimistic about subprime mortgage securities.

Mark Baum looked around, put down his phone, and a playful smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"The fun is about to begin."
