In this way, the game went to the last 3 minutes.

A [bomb pack] layup by Hanamichi gave the Arizona Wildcats a 9-point lead.

The Arizona fans at the scene cheered, and even the commentator thought that Hanamichi and his team were close to reaching the semi-finals:

"With a 9-point difference, I think the University of Maryland has performed well enough in this game!"

"But, after all, the NCAA [March Madness] is still a stage for basketball stars."

"Joe Smith was able to fight in the inside group of Arizona for nearly 40 minutes, which has proved his star power!

"NBA teams interested in the 1995 draft must not let go of this high-quality big man easily!"

"But what I really want to say is that the probability of the University of Maryland being able to recover 9 points in the last 3 minutes is too small!"

"Ladies and gentlemen! Let us congratulate the Arizona Wildcats in advance for reaching the semi-finals!"

"Look forward to the performance of the two superstars in their team next! "

The commentator at the scene has begun to roar.

Amid the cheers of the audience, the University of Maryland completely gave up struggling!

The game ended with a score of 59:68, and the Arizona Wildcats won.

Joe Smith of the University of Maryland was defeated but still honorable.

He scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks, 3 assists, and 2 steals.

In 40 minutes, he played the dominance of a superstar.

It left a deep impression on all the scouts at the scene.

But the University of Arizona has the same two superstar players.

In the whole game, Das scored 19 points, 11 assists, and contributed 7 steals.

This broke the single-game steals record of this NCAA [March Madness] so far!

It also allowed the audience across the country to see Das' unique basketball rhythm and basketball style.

As for Hua Dao, he scored 29 points, 16 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 3 assists in the whole game!

After the game, he attracted interviews from most reporters and media.

"Flower, tell me how you feel, you scored almost 30+15 super data?"

Hua Dao, who was processing the reward information for completing the task on the basketball data panel in his mind.

When he came back to his senses, he saw the reporter with blonde hair in front of him.

"Ah~ This steamed bun is big and white!"

"What?"

The reporter was confused, and Hua Dao hurriedly explained:

"I mean, after such an intense exercise, I feel very hungry! ”

“Mantou is a kind of food from the ancient East, which can quickly relieve human hunger!”

“So, Flower, are you sure you can score 30 points in the next game and break the vacant scoring record of the University of Arizona in the NCAA [March Madness]?”

Of course, Hua Dao would not fall into the trap of this blonde reporter.

The sober-minded Hua Dao said bluntly:

“I think my scoring ability has been well verified after 3 consecutive games of 20+.”

“As for the next game... I just want to celebrate with my teammates for reaching the semi-finals!”

“If the team tactics require me to score 30 points in the next game, I think I will seize this opportunity!”

“But, I don’t think I need it!”

After that, Hua Dao grinned and pulled a player next to him:

“This is because our team still has a ~active~ Knight Archibald who can dominate the court! "

Hanachi happily pulled Das over and snatched the ice water from his hand.

I don't know if the two did it on purpose, playing and splashing the ice water everywhere!

The blond reporter got what he wanted, and didn't care if he got wet.

Instead, he quickly took pictures of the two people playing!

But he didn't know that he had become the scenery in someone else's camera!

Time did not freeze on March 14, 1995!

The Arizona Wildcats' semi-finals are far from the end!

In the games after that.

Hanamichi and Das continued to lead the team.

In the semifinals on March 16, the Arizona Wildcats narrowly defeated UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles), the team with the most NCAA [March Madness] titles in history.

UCLA's main forward, Ed O'Bannon, completely exploded in this game.

They scored 28+7+5 respectively.

The other main players also performed well, which once made the Arizona Wildcats very strenuous.

Like falling into a swamp, AsiaThe Arizona Wildcats have been stuck in a tug-of-war with UCLA.

But they have never been able to surpass them.

Time is passing by little by little, which makes the Wildcats players more and more anxious.

In fact, UCLA is also under great pressure.

They feel that Arizona is like the AE86 in Akina Mountain, and they can't get rid of it.

If you score a goal, they will return one.

If you miss a shot, the opponent can still tie with you!

This makes them dare not relax at all.

But in the end of the intense game.

UCLA's main forward, Ed O'Bannon, made the first mistake!

In fact, before him, other players of both teams made mistakes one after another.

But this time, Ed O'Bannon's mistake was fatal.

In two consecutive defenses, he was fouled twice by Hanamichi!

And the latter scored the ball!

Two perfect 2+1s completely tied the score between the two teams.

Then Ed O'Bannon, who wanted to make up for his mistake, ran to the high post to assist in the pick-and-roll.

But he had forgotten that the game had already reached the end.

His footsteps and speed in assisting in the high post pick-and-roll were not as fast as before!

But Hanamichi, who was watching closely from the side, was still full of energy!

In fact, Ed O'Bannon's personal ability was not as good as McDyess's.

The only thing he had been immersed in for four years was the high post pick-and-roll tactic.

He played like a fish in water under the tactic, and his footwork under the basket was also perfect.

He had teased Hanamichi several times in the game.

Hanamichi had been holding his breath, thinking about getting back at the opponent!

This time, the opportunity came!

Ed O'Bannon, who was going down, didn't know that there was a man with a head full of anger behind him.

Hanamichi's hair was not sure whether it was burning or floating.

He caught the ball passed back by his teammate and quickly went down for a layup with what he thought was a quick footstep.

But this time, the invincible move failed!

Ed O'Bannon jumped up and was blocked by Hanamichi, hitting the ball on the backboard.

Then the falling basketball was caught by Hanamichi, who had the advantage of height and arm span.

A long pass to Das.

Rhythm master~ Das ran with his feet.

Successful layup without anyone watching.

The University of Arizona finally overtook the score!

And kept the two-point advantage until the end.

UCLA could only swallow the bitter fruit with tears and watch Arizona advance to the finals.

It can be said that Ed O'Bannon made it and Ed O'Bannon made it fail.

The bad news is that UCLA lost the semifinals;

The good news is that they lost to the champion!

In the final three days later, the University of Arizona defeated the University of Arkansas with an overwhelming momentum and won the NCAA championship.

It is worth mentioning that in the voting for the MOP of the final four.

Hanamichi squeezed out Ed O'Bannon of UCLA, the star player of Arkansas and Das Stoudemire of his own team.

Hanamichi won the first and greatest personal honor since he came to the United States!

As for the first team and best player awards he won in the Arizona Division Qualifiers before that.

Hanamichi said that it was not just a casual play, and then the award was given?

In any case, Hanamichi's NCAA journey is completely over.

In the coming summer, he will step onto a higher stage like Das Stoudemire.
