On April 2, 2012, at the New Orleans Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, nearly 19,000 fanatical fans made the place a blue and white ocean.

Half are University of Kansas fans and half are University of Kentucky fans.

This year's NCAA finals are being played here.

On this day, all professional basketball games in the United States are suspended, and all basketball players' eyes are on the New Orleans Arena.

CBS, TN-T, TBS, tru-TV and other large and small sports TV stations broadcast live the national basketball event in March every year.

The game progressed to the second half, and there were more than 8 minutes left before the end of the game.

The University of Kentucky, wearing a white jersey, maintained the lead with 54:40 and an absolute advantage of 14 points.

14 points may not be a particularly big advantage in the NBA.

But in the NCAA game where the first and second halves are divided, the offensive time is extended to 35 seconds, the style of play is more teamwork, the scale of defense is larger, and the shooting percentage is lower, it is almost an insurmountable gap.

CBS live commentator Gregg Campbell has shouted "it's over (the game is over)", followed by Kentucky's leading insider Anthony Davis being fouled in the offense.

The 6-foot-11, long-limbed, bushy-connected eyebrows and somewhat odd-looking forward stepped to the free-throw line.

Although he looks strange, he is the number one high school student in the United States and the most dazzling star in the NCAA this year.

However, Davis missed the first free throw, and he took a deep breath to adjust himself.

His performance on the offensive end tonight was quite disastrous, and he hasn't scored a single sports game until now.

Fortunately, he gave the team a huge help on the defensive end.

Just the day before today's game, he just won the Pete Newell Best Inside Player Award and the NABC Defensive Player of the Year.

When the offense couldn't open, he picked up 12 rebounds on the defensive end and gave the opponent 5 big pots.

With eight minutes left in the game, let the opponent only score 40 points.

The second free throw was finally hit, and at 55:40, Kentucky extended its lead to 15 points.

They are only one step away from the eighth NCAA national championship trophy in school history.

In the history of colleges and universities in the United States, only UCLA, the former pink and blue overlord, can surpass them in the number of championships.

On the sidelines, Kentucky head coach John Calipari was sweating profusely.

He stood in front of the technical stage throughout the game, constantly directing his disciples.

Even with such an advantage, his butt still didn't dare to touch the bench.

This is the closest the famous coach has come to the NCAA championship.

The last time he led his team to the NCAA Finals dates back to 2008.

That year he coached the University of Memphis, and the team had future NBA No. 1 pick Derrick Rose.

They lost the final that year against the University of Kansas, and this year is his revenge.

On the other side of the court stood Kansas head coach Bill Self.

He didn't give up hope, he still yelled to make the players concentrate and strengthen their offense.

The Kansas players also did not give up. Their guard Taylor, who wore No. 10, hit a three-pointer to narrow the point difference.

Then the University of Kentucky missed an offense, and Taylor made another three-pointer at the top of the arc!

Two consecutive three-pointers!

The Kansas fans at the scene got excited and crazily cheered for the University of Kansas.

Calipari had to call a timeout, trying to stabilize the situation.

But the frenzied atmosphere of the New Orleans Arena almost drowned the coach's voice in the sound waves.

The timeout ended, and Kentucky was in trouble when they returned to the field.

Anthony Davis' hook shot was slapped by Jeff Vichy.

Then in Kentucky's counterattack, Thomas Robinson drew a foul and got to the free throw line and made two free throws.

They played an 8:0 spurt and narrowed the point difference to 7 points!

After the University of Kentucky scored a point with a free throw, Thomas Robinson received a pass from Vichy under the basket and was fouled again by his opponent for a layup!

Standing on the free throw line, he was extremely steady, making two free throws, and the point difference has reached 6 points!

The University of Kansas has regained hope of winning!

With more than three minutes left before the end of the game, with a 6-point difference, they touched the threshold of a miracle.

Calipari immediately called another timeout. Kentucky needs to score and stabilize the morale of the army.

He calmed himself down first, and then reminded the players to pay attention to the details on the field with a hoarse voice.

"Don't make mistakes! Don't hesitate, we are still leading now, we played well all game, stick to our feeling! Stick to it! Stick to it!"

Calipari insisted a few times.

They have worked hard for a whole year, struggled for a year, and have a proud record of 31 wins and 2 losses throughout the year. They are only three minutes away from perfection.

The timeout ended and the Kentucky boy responded when he returned to the court.

Tonight, Doron Lamb, who is feeling hot from the outside, hit a golden three-pointer from the outside.

In the case of being chased by the opponent for eight points in a row without scoring a single point, he successfully broke the deadlock and helped the team regain blood.

But Kansas's counterattack did not end, they scored two more points to maintain the point difference at 7 points.

Then Anthony Davis finally hit the only sports goal of the game. He hit a hook in the middle!

9 points, 9 points difference!

Kansas still did not give up. Thomas Robinson made a strong play inside and caused a foul by the opponent and made an additional penalty.

The point difference returned to 6 points.

At this time, the time left by the goddess of victory to Kansas is running out.

There is still one minute to the end of the game.

As long as Kentucky plays the full 35 seconds of attack time, the time will slowly run out, and the victory will be carried into Kentucky's arms.

Kansas immediately fouled and sent Anthony Davis to the free throw line.

Davis made two free throws under tremendous pressure!

This gave Kansas a chance to chase points, and Self immediately called a timeout to arrange a quick offensive tactic.

But Kentucky didn't give Kansas a chance to shoot a three-pointer from the outside.

The ball went inside, and Anthony Davis contributed his sixth block of the game!

Kentucky regained control of the ball.

Kansas had to foul again, sending the Kentucky player to the free throw line.

In the New Orleans Arena, the Kentucky fans in white T-shirts stood up excitedly. They knew that the school team was not far from the championship.

At the free throw line, Doron Lamb made the first free throw, and the point difference became 8 points, and there was not much time left.

Lamb missed the second free throw and Kansas got the rebound.

Their guard Johnson rushed to the basket with the ball and used a quick counterattack to score two points, or 6 points.

At the critical moment, Kentucky made only two of four free throws, allowing Kansas to keep a chance.

Calipari stomped anxiously on the sidelines, making free throws, free throws, why didn't he make free throws?

With 43 seconds left in the game, Kansas must use foul tactics.

Kentucky must not make a mistake in the backcourt serve, otherwise the opponent will win and the point difference will be reduced to 4 or even 3 points, and the situation will be different.

Calipari used up the last timeout, and he didn't want to take any chances.

At this time, he pointed to the bench and said, "Li, get ready to play."

At the end of the University of Kentucky bench, a young man with black hair and yellow skin stood up.

He is tall, more than 2 meters. He took off his sports jacket, warmed up a little, and came to the sidelines to replace the team's forward Terrence Jones.

He was wearing the No. 28 jersey, and he was with his teammates after the timeout, preparing to play the last minute.

"Catch the ball, make sure to catch the ball, don't make mistakes, don't make mistakes!"

Calipari kept reminding the players that as long as they don't make mistakes at this time, the victory is theirs.

And he sent Lee to replace Jones, just to ensure the percentage of free throws at the last moment.

Lee, the player at the end of the bench, whose only role in the team is to come up and make free throws when the opponent commits foul tactics-he is the person with the highest free throw percentage in the team.

"The Kentucky Wildcats replaced their free throw lineup, No. 28, their Chinese player Bruce Lee, this is his only chance to board the NCAA game, the last free throw moment. This year he played a total of 7 times, all in In the final tactical foul moment, he made 10 of 10 free throws, with a 100% shooting rate, and he is a trustworthy free throw shooter."

There is inevitably a bit of banter hidden in the tone of the commentary.

A player's only function is to go to the court and execute free throws, which means that he is not good at other aspects.

Bruce Lee didn't think so much. After he stepped onto the court, his heart was full of excitement. This is the NCAA Finals.

He didn't think he would have a chance to step on this floor, and he ended up participating in the game in this way.

With a sideline kick, Kansas pressed at halftime.

Kentucky players lined up near the free-throw line and then dispersed quickly, disrupting Kansas' defensive matchup.

Bruce Lee ran to the bottom edge on the right. After hesitating for two seconds, the server threw the ball to Bruce Lee when no one else had a chance.

Leaping high, taking advantage of his 6-foot-9 height and 7-foot-1 wingspan, he caught the ball firmly in the air.

Then he held the ball in his arms.

The Kansas player came up and fouled him, sending him to the free throw line.

Bruce - Lee stood at the free throw line, he is a little thin, but very strong, no fat.

His arms are longer than the average Asian player, exceeding his height.

Although not as good as a monster like teammate Anthony Davis, it is also very good.

However, the height and wingspan of playing basketball is only the foundation, and the comprehensive ability shown on the court is the most critical.

From this point of view, Bruce Lee is an out-and-out, very qualified water cooler administrator.

And he managed it for four years, and he will graduate from university this year.

At this point he is standing on the free throw line, and his enemy is himself.

No one to defend him, only the wild boos of Kansas fans.

Bruce Lee hit the first free throw steadily, and Calipari took a reassurance.

The point difference came to 7 points again.

Then the second free throw, Li still hit, 8 points, 65:57, he perfectly completed his task.

Self used up Kansas' final timeout.

Calipari stepped forward and patted Bruce Lee, and he was going to rest in the next defensive stage.

Lee played a total of 1.5 seconds in the NCAA Finals and scored two points.

Converting this efficiency into 36 minutes, he can get 2880 points.

Of course this is impossible.

Bruce Lee knew that his mission on the court was over, and even his four-year college basketball career would also be over.

Fortunately, the ending is still satisfactory.

Ultimately, Kansas' struggles were in vain.

Although they hit another shot, Kentucky, Lamb also made two free throws, and finally time ran out.

The Kentucky Wildcats defeated the University of Kansas 67:59 and won the 2012 NCAA championship!

At the end of the game, gold, blue, green and white stripes were sprinkled from the roof of the New Orleans Arena.

University of Kentucky fans frantically poured into the stadium, Kentucky players hugged each other to celebrate their final victory.

On the other side, the Kansas players were sad and lonely. Their core Thomas Robinson even fell to the ground and cried bitterly, and was supported by his teammates before standing up.

Bruce Lee and his teammates were pushed into the crowd, caught in an unstoppable frenzy as everyone yelled "Kentucky!"

Amid the jubilant chaos, Bruce Lee heard someone in the crowd yelling his name, "Li Liang! Li Liang! Li Liang!"

He turned his head and found that the person calling him was his roommate at school, Wei Dazhi who also came from China to study.

Reporters from all walks of life have come to the field to interview coach Calipari and MOP No. 1 candidate Anthony Davis, as well as Doron Lamb, who scored the highest score in this field.

Nobody cares about a water cooler like Bruce Lee.

Bruce Lee ran up to Wei Dazhi, and the two hugged and celebrated first. They were really excited to win the championship.

Then, Wei Dazhi proposed to interview Bruce Lee.

"Why are you interviewing me? You should interview my teammates." Bruce Lee, or Li Liang, looked a little cold.

"Hey, do you know that you are the first Chinese to win the NCAA championship with the team, and you have played and scored, I will not interview who you are interviewing! Come on, tell me how you feel! Domestic Forum Everyone has been waiting for my interview!"

Wei Dazhi took out a recording pen in a dignified manner. He is from the University of Kentucky School of Business, but he has always aspired to be a sports reporter.

Although there are not many Chinese players playing in the NCAA, Bruce Lee is indeed the first one who can play in a prestigious school like Kentucky and win a championship with the team.

Only the national player Ma Jian, who was invited by ULCA, had such an opportunity. Due to various obstructive factors, he lost the opportunity to win the 1995 NCAA championship with the team.

Li Liang couldn't resist Wei Dazhi, so he cleared his throat and said, "I'm very happy to have won the highest honor in American college basketball, and I also got playing time, even though it was only 1.5 seconds, and scored points, even though it was only two points." , but my achievements will not stop here, I have higher goals and loftier ideals, to be realized in the highest hall of basketball. Please wait and see, I will let the whole world know my name!"

In the noisy New Orleans arena, everyone's attention is focused on the core of the University of Kentucky, Anthony Davis and the famous coach Calipari, or to care about the group of Kansas boys who have lost their glory.

No one noticed that Kentucky's bench water cooler, Bruce Lee who scored two points, and Li Liang made a declaration in the corner of the field.

Wei Dazhi nodded in satisfaction, and then asked: "Let more people know your name, which one is Bruce Lee or Li Liang?"

Li Liangdao: "None, of course it's my full name."
