March 29.
Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis.
Home of the Colts. But today? This ain't football. It's March Madness, and the Red vs. Blue showdown is about to go off.
Davidson in red.
North Carolina is in blue.
One of the most iconic color clashes in sports history.
And just like that, the stadium looked split in half — one side roaring red, the other a sea of Carolina blue.
This was the game. The one everyone had been hyping up. Miss it? Might have to wait for some time for anything like it again.
The broadcast crew wasn't wasting time either — the cameras were already cutting to the VIP section, showing off the heavy hitters in the crowd.
Vince Carter was here — rocking huge sunglasses and all. Dude looked like he was ready to drop a mixtape. But today, he was backing UNC. Carter's North Carolina through and through.
From the press box, Wu Xiaolei blinked like she was covering the NBA All-Star Game.
"Kobe, LeBron, Wade… wait, is that Yao? Yi Jianlian too?"
Sun Yue was in the building. All three Chinese NBA players were here. Wu's head was spinning.
Then, the crowd exploded as the cameras caught the legend.
Michael. Freakin'. Jordan.
He was grinning, pounding his chest, waving at the fans like it was '96 all over again.
Qi Jun, sitting next to Wu, leaned in like a kid at his first concert.
"Sis Xiaolei, this feels like Slam Dunk come to life!"
Wu laughed. "What? You comparing this to Shohoku vs Sannoh now?"
"Well, think about it — if Davidson's like Shohoku, then UNC's the reigning champs."
"Pfft, read fewer comics, Qi." Wu smiled, shaking her head. But honestly? She kinda saw it too.
Then Qi's jaw dropped again. "Wait—is that Yang Yi? And Su Junyang too?! This game's got everyone out of the woodwork."
Before Wu could reply, the stadium boomed. Game time.
The cameras zoomed in as the Tar Heels made their entrance.
First up, Tyler Hansbrough. The guy looked like a soldier with that crew cut. 6'9
