I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 61 The Catfish in Anticipation
Dorsey made another top-[-] shot with a brilliant drive dunk.

But it also pissed off Kashuai.

Kashuai's military orders are like a mountain, and he must do what he says, and immediately replaced Dorsey.

This game will never let Dorsey play again.

Although, at this time, there are only 7 seconds left before the end of the game.

This substitution seemed more like allowing Dorsey to enjoy the applause and applause of the audience alone.

Kashuai is not a stubborn person. He didn't let Dorsey dunk, just because he was afraid that he would get hurt again.Seeing that the disciple is in such a good state now, it is too late to be happy, how could it be possible to really embarrass him.

At the end of the game, at 94:66, the Memphis Tigers won by 28 points.Advance to the top 32!
The rest of the seeded teams also played well and showed a good competitive state.

Kansas beat Portland State 85-61.The team's leading scorer Chalmers scored 20 points, Darrell Arthur grabbed 13 rebounds.

UCLA beat Mississippi Valley State 70:30.

The team's "Four King Kong" scored in double figures, and Love and Westbrook scored "double-doubles".

30 points has also become the lowest conceded points in the championship this season.

North Carolina beat Monte St. Marys by 113 points 74:39.

他们全场投篮命中率达60.6%，篮板以46：16完胜，12名出场球员中有11人有得分进账。汉斯布鲁和劳森双双拿下21分。

Overall, this round of competition went smoothly, and the strong teams were basically able to advance.

With the halving of the team, the increasingly fierce battle for the top 32 will start next week.

*********
"Hey, Jonathan, did you watch the NCAA game yesterday? The Joey Dorsey you've been talking about seems to have performed well. I watched the highlights of this round, and he had two of the top ten shots!"

On the sidelines of the Houston Rockets' training court, the potbellied manager Mosaic took the initiative to chat with Jonathan Fagan, a senior reporter of the "Houston Chronicle" who came for a routine interview, about the NCAA game.

Fagen cast a meaningful glance at Mosaic, knowing that this fat man is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so he must have something to say.

"Dalyl, don't forget, you were the first to let me pay attention to this player!"

"Hey, this shows that my vision has always been good!"

"How do I remember someone saying that the Rockets don't need a rookie inside?"

Mosaic scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "One moment and another moment! Who would have thought that Yao suffered a serious injury again! This is the third consecutive season for him to have a serious injury. To be honest, I am a little worried!"

"Then don't let Adelman use Yao Ming without restraint! I remember that everyone used to say that Van Gundy used Yao Ming to death, but compared with Rick, he is too restrained! You heard that about Rick and Is that Yao Ming's joke?"

"What joke?"

"If Adelman and Yao Ming went out to sea together in a small boat, and the boat sank in a storm, but there was only one life buoy on board, who would you say it should be used for?"

"Who should it be for?"

Mosaic foolishly repeated the question.

"Of course it is for Yao Ming, so that both of them can be rescued, because Adelman will definitely hold Yao Ming's thigh tightly!"

"puff"

The mosaic almost didn't spray, but he glanced at Rick Adelman who was directing the training on the field not far away, and he still said seriously:
"Jonathan, you are too mean, I want to remind you, Rick is a meritorious coach who just created the second longest winning streak in NBA history!"

"I don't mean any disrespect to Coach Rick. I'm just a little brooding about Yao Ming's injury. This disaster is completely avoidable! If we have a healthy Yao in the playoffs, then this year's results will be my best. I can't even imagine it!"

"Oh, who didn't say that..." Mosaic was also full of regret.

It has been nearly a month since Dayao was injured on February 2. Although the Rockets have been winning almost all the time, anyone who has watched their games will miss Yao Ming very much.

Without the inside pillar, the team seems to have lost the "Pillar of Optimism, and Zijin Liang", and the balance of inside and outside is broken. If it is not for the inertia of winning, the team's three armies will use their lives. At the same time, in many key games, McGrady and The role players played bravely, I am afraid that the Rockets' winning streak has long been broken.

But even so, in the latter part of the 22-game winning streak, the outside world also clearly felt that the Rockets were unable to do what they wanted, and the inside line was blown out in several games.

In the past, the Rockets had obvious inside combinations, but now their shortcomings have been infinitely magnified.

Uncle Mu is too old and lacks physical fitness;

Scola's skills are excellent, but his defense is not strong enough;
Landry is energetic and aggressive, but too young and inexperienced, and has technical shortcomings;
Hayes has a tough style and is a desperate Saburo, but he has no offensive ability.

In the post-Yao Ming era of Houston, who can hold the sky?

"That Joey Dorsey, in my impression, is a defensive champion. At the beginning, the team also wanted to find a blue-collar insider, so they asked you to help observe. How do you hear that he seems to have the ability to take the initiative to attack now?"

Mosaic said to Fei Gen.

"His defense is good, but from the first game I watched him live, he is a guy with strong offensive ability, and he is constantly improving. It seems that he can give people different surprises every time!"

Fagan thought of the first time he saw Dorsey on the spot, the scene when the big black guy hit Mon Alden with a three-point rain.

"Tsk tsk, Jonathan, you admire that kid very much, but we only have one second-round pick. If he is that good, he will be snatched away in the lottery!"

Fagan shrugged his shoulders, "Dalyl, this is your business. According to my observation, this is a piece of rough jade, which has the potential to become a priceless gem, but there is no 100% absolute thing in the world. Deng, so far he has not been able to prove himself in the NBA!"

Mosaic frowned in thought, silent.

Fegan thought for a while, and then said: "Although I should not say this as a reporter, if I were in your position, I would send scouts to investigate him comprehensively. Yao Ming's excessive playing time and frequent Injuries, after all, are a major hidden danger for the team. Of course, I am not saying that Joey Dorsey is qualified to replace Yao Ming, but Yao Ming needs a substitute who can attack and defend well."

"As for the order of the picks, you don't have to worry too much. This year is the year of the draft. Although Joey Dorsey is good, there are many guys who are better than him. He has missed too many games this season, and it is difficult to attract other players. In addition, his big mouth has caused a lot of trouble, and the average team will think carefully before choosing him."

"Aren't we afraid of another troublemaker in the locker room?"

"Don't you think the Rockets led by Yao Mai are too obedient? Sometimes throwing a catfish into a calm pool is not necessarily a bad thing!"

Mosaic muttered in a low voice: "Is it the catfish effect? ​​But, next season, I have already found a troublemaker..."

Feigen didn't hear clearly, and asked in confusion: "What did you say?"

"Nothing! Hehe, I will send scouts to pay attention to that guy. I hope he can be as good as you said!"
