NBA: I'm really the Chosen One

Chapter 43 Bet
NCAA semifinals.

Ohio State University vs University of Florida.

There were more than forty professional scouts sitting in the auditorium. Their eyes were either sharp or indifferent, but most of the focus on the field was on the giant.

Greg Oden.

Evaluated by the national basketball media as a combination of O'Neal and Duncan, tall and strong body, exquisite basket skills, precocious style of play and appearance compared with his peers, first-class athletic ability, solid basic skills, both offensive and defensive. The biggest help to the team can be the cornerstone of any team.

It's a pity that such a player is destined not to be the No. 07 pick, just because 40 was a time of miracles. Oden only lost one game at home. That game was University of Washington. Li Zheng scored 81 points and beat Ohio State University 73-17 , Oden had 8 points and [-] rebounds, and Li Zheng told all NBA scouts who is the better one with his incomprehensible change of direction and suffocatingly precise jumper.

Originally, Oden's performance also aroused some people's voices, thinking that inside players are more suitable to be the cornerstone of the inside than outside players. Whether it is the little giant of the Rockets or the Warcraft of the Magic, it has proved the success of this team building idea. After all Skills can be practiced, but talent cannot be practiced.

Li Zheng led a group of guys who will definitely not be engaged in basketball in the future to continue to win the game. The media finally lost their voices and could only silently bless this year's rookies. Facing Li Zheng, being prepared to play a good performance can improve the pick Quite a few, if you can defend Li Zheng for one or two rounds, you will be able to gain a firm foothold in the NBA. Everyone will not let go of this good opportunity to become famous, but until the semifinals, this lucky guy or brave man still did not appear.

"Greg, is your right hand okay?" Mike Conley looked at Oden, who was covering his hand, worriedly. Oden's face showed pain when he just grabbed a rebound. As Oden's best friend and teammate, he naturally knew This is the reoccurrence of the old injury of Oden's right wrist surgery. The University of Florida will never let go of such an opportunity. They are already in a desperate situation.

"It seems to be something. But I can't fall down here." Oden gritted his teeth and said, the flames of revenge tormented his heart, he would not give up the chance to defeat Li Zheng, never.

In the second half, the fans saw a shocking performance.

After Greg Oden's right hand injury broke out, he almost single-handedly ravaged the inside of the University of Florida. He dominated the game. Deng scored 25 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks with only his left hand, preventing Horford from making 15 of 6 shots. Noah hardly dared to shoot, and only made 3 of 1 shots.

The extremely tough Noah had nothing to do against the raging Oden. Oden's consecutive defensive dunks against Noah in the third quarter made every scout exclaim. It's a pity that no one in Ohio State University except Conley Being able to stand up and score, in the end, he was alone and lost the game.

The appearance of Greg Oden kneeling on the floor and crying after the game moved everyone even more. The scouts recorded in their record books that Oden had a strong desire to win and a competitive heart. , Oden has the conditions to become a super center, but he lacks a little luck.

Just like he failed to make it to the finals and won't be the No. [-] pick this year, Oden enjoys the gift given by God, but has to accept the ruthless arrangement of fate.

The University of Washington beat Georgetown University lightly, and Li Zheng advanced to the NCAA Finals for the fourth time. His opponent was still the University of Florida, and this time it was generally believed that the University of Florida would win the game because their lineup depth was terrible.

Noah, Horford, Corey Brewer, and some other players who can reach the second round. As for the University of Washington, after losing Roy, almost all the teammates around Li Zheng will be engaged in finance and computer science in the future. Amateurs, not to mention the NBA, their performance in the NCAA also all depends on Li Zheng's performance.

Li Zheng ushered in the most difficult moment in his senior season. Although the record still maintained a complete victory, the fans knew that Li Zheng played calmly and spared no effort in the past. More like an elegant killer, rather than a fierce fighter like he is now.

Double-teaming Li Zheng is just a regular tactic for other NCAA teams. In the point-chasing link, triple-teaming or even four-teaming is not uncommon. Other players at the University of Washington enjoy a huge open space that has never been seen before or since. They just need to They also knew that it was Li Zheng who led them into the NCAA March Madness during the training during the game, and they regarded this experience as the most precious experience in their lives.

At the beginning of the season, people complained about why Li Zheng kept feeding these leftover players. It was natural for him to pass the ball in the Dream Team or cooperate with Roy, but now the players at the University of Washington are what kind of stuff, and they are receiving Li Zheng's unconstrained passes. It's hard to hit the ball, let alone hit it.

In just one season, those college students who would never join the NBA showed their exquisite coordination and teamwork, punishing every team that underestimated them with precise shots.

The game is approaching, and countless fans are looking forward to the miracle coming again. Whether the undefeated record of the University of Washington and the myth of Li Zheng has become a true legend, or the story of the brave who smashed the myth at the University of Florida, this NCAA finals is destined to be extremely exciting.

US President Bush Jr. said in an interview that he is a fan of the University of Washington. He and his father Bush Sr. will watch the game live, and many players in the NBA have also expressed that they will pay attention to this game. It was announced that Li Zheng would win the NCAA championship and MOP for the fourth time.

"Why are you more optimistic about the University of Washington? Are you crazy? In the finals, Lee's team represents a 100% victory. This is not a difficult multiple-choice question." Stoudemire said with a smile during the interview, but the reporter's words made him face darkened.

"What would you do if Li lost? I don't think Li will always be miraculous. Miracles are not miracles if they happen frequently, right?" the reporter asked provocatively.

"Then let's make a bet, how much are you willing to pay for your miracle? I bet 50 dollars, how about you?" Stoudemire sneered and mocked the reporter who provoked the trouble and left angrily, but then Barkley crossed across the air and shouted to continue The bet made this matter much more influential. After the confrontation between Barkley and Stoudemire, the bet turned into a charitable donation of 50 US dollars plus a gamble of shining shoes for the winner after the game.

David Stern stared at the screen anxiously. His heart could no longer accept other stimuli. He was afraid that Li Zheng would announce his entry into the European League after finishing the final. He just hoped that Li Zheng could win the game smoothly and then announce his arrival in the NBA. The right place has almost been decided by default, and David Stern sincerely prays that Paul Allen can get rid of this stubborn kid.
