This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 125 Goal, win the championship

George Mason celebrated in the locker room after a win against the mighty Florida Gators.

Blair led the groove dance in the champagne mist, then writhed the team around the locker room.

Even Jim, who is somewhat staid on weekdays, was indulging in the rhythm of the music and the aroma of champagne, biting his cigar and wiggling his buttocks.

Entering the national finals may not have such a strong sense of excitement for veteran teams like Kentucky, North Carolina, and Duke, but for the Patriots, this is a great joy.

Zhou Lin accepted an exclusive interview with Yang Yi, who is stationed in the United States, after a short period of madness. Now Zhou Lin doesn't like to be interviewed by the media, except for the Chinese media, because these people came to the United States because of him. , are here to support themselves.

"I have signed with an agent and am determined to participate in the 2006 NBA draft."

Zhou Lin personally admitted this to Yang Yi. Among domestic players, Yi Jianlian, who has a high probability of being selected, has withdrawn his application for the NBA draft. Sun Yue, who stayed in the United States to play for the ABA Aoshen team, also admitted that this year is not the best player to participate in the draft. Timing, and although Tang Zhengdong will participate in the draft, his external conditions and physical talent are not outstanding. This is confirmed by the ranking outside the [-], and the possibility of being selected is not high.

Therefore, Zhou Lin is very likely to be the only seedling in this draft in China.

Moreover, there is a high probability that Zhou Lin will be the fifth Chinese player selected by the NBA after Xue Yuyang, and there is a high probability that Zhou Lin will be the second Chinese player to be selected in the lottery after Yao Ming.

……

"Of course, as long as the Chinese team needs me and coach Jonas needs me, I will definitely participate in the World Championships in Japan. Of course I am still very young. In the days to come, as long as the country needs me, I will definitely go all out .”

When asked whether he will definitely participate in the World Championships, Zhou Lin said with certainty.

Historically, although the World Championships in Japan in 2006 only achieved the top 16 in the end, of course there were many famous scenes in that competition.

Including the Chinese team forward Wang Shipeng's last-minute lore, but in fact, Wang Shipeng was not an ordinary iron in that game. He only scored 3 points in the final lore.

But having that 3 points is enough.

In history, the 12-man roster of the Chinese men's basketball team was a bit unbalanced.

Four guards including Liu Wei, Zhang Qingpeng, Chen Jianghua, and Sun Yue were brought on the outside line. Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi who returned from China, Yi Jianlian Du Feng from Guangdong, Mo Ke from Bayi, and Zhang Songtao from Ao Shen were also on the inside line.

The Chinese team has always had the characteristics of producing good inside players. There is nothing wrong with choosing good players, and even in some games, three players with a height of 3 meters or more appeared on the field at the same time, which also proves that the Chinese team is good. The severity of the absence of perimeter players.

As for the small forward position, which belongs to the connection point between the inside and outside lines, only Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu are brought in, which is the least rotation among all positions, and the arrival of Zhou Lin can make up for this shortcoming to a certain extent.

As for another incident, in history, the US national team that went to the 06 World Championships finally lost to Greece in the semi-finals, and only won the bronze medal in the end.

After only getting No.2002 in the 6 Spanish Men's Basketball World Championships, the two consecutive Men's Basketball World Championships were shamefully lost.

However, the lineup of the U.S. national team at that time is absolutely luxurious now.

This is a lineup headed by the platinum generation James, Wade, and Anthony, as well as Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh, and a series of future Hall of Fame-level stars.

Of course, the biggest problem with this year's players is that they are too young. The core platinum generation has only been in the league for three years, and they are all young people in their early 20s. Chris Paul is still a recruit who just finished his first grade, and Anthony It has not completely evolved into a big killer in the international arena. The inside line composed of the juvenile Warcraft Howard, the 2.01-meter Brand and the white center Bradley Miller is constantly deflated in front of the inside lines of many European countries.

After successive defeats in the Athens Olympics and Japan Men's Basketball World Championships, the U.S. national team learned from the pain and formed a dazzling Dream Eight team in the 08 BJ Olympics. The historical lineup is second only to the famous Dream Team One.

At that time, the team had Kobe, James, Howard, Paul and Anthony in their peak period, as well as Wade, Bosh, Kidd, Deron, etc., which were almost the combination of all the stars in the NBA at that time. With a terrifying suppression force, he won the Olympic gold medal in 08 unimpeded all the way, washing away the shame of the last Olympic Games.

……

"The goal now? Let's win the NCAA championship first!"

Regarding Yang Yi's question, Zhou Lin said it as a matter of course.

After passing the University of Florida, they have come to this point. Now the only thing Zhou Lin and the Patriots have to compete for is the NCAA championship.

Historically, the University of Florida was the champion of the 2006 class. In history, the acquired opponent ULCA was rubbed on the floor by the University of Florida, and lost by 16 points in the final.

However, Zhou Lin doesn't think the Patriots are stronger than UCLA.

The Patriots have actually been in a surprise attack up to now. In addition to their own performance, there will be unexpected outbreaks and ways of explosions in every game of the opponent team.

In this game, although Zhou Lin scored 28 points, if it weren't for Jay Lewis' three life-changing three-pointers, it is estimated that tonight this level would not be passed anyway.

According to the technical statistics obtained by Zhou Lin, UCLA beat LSU 59-45 in the semifinals against LSU by 14 points, limiting the opponent's shooting percentage to 32%, and allowing LSU to shoot from the three-point line. No outside shots were received, and the audience made 6 of 0 shots.

At the same time, they restrained their two core insiders, Glenn Davis and Tyrus Thomas, scoring 14 points and 5 points respectively. Among them, Glenn Davis, who scored 14 points, made 17 of 5 shots. An inside player!
UCLA is a well-reviewed offensive and defensive team.

UCLA's guard line has Jordan Farmar and Allen Afflalo, two prospective NBA first-round picks, as well as Darren Collison and Cedric Bozeman, two future NBA-level guards .

As well as Mbah a Moute on the front line and Ryan Hollins on the inside, they are also future NBA players with combat effectiveness that cannot be underestimated.

In history, the University of Florida was able to win UCLA. It was Joakim Noah and Al Horford who crushed the opponent's inside line and completely destroyed the opponent's most important inside defense. On the defensive end, he played a good show that overshadowed the sky and the sun many times.

The defense is destroyed and the offense is contained.

It can be said that the University of Florida has some days over UCLA.

In addition, the Alligator team's outside team has made great efforts.

Leading from the very beginning, with a lead of about 20 points most of the time, they won the cup smoothly in the end.

It can almost be said that the ULCA Bruins are a Florida Gators with a weakened inside version and an enhanced outside line.

The outside three-pointer that the Patriots rely on most is likely to be restrained by the outside defense that UCLA is good at, and UCLA is a team that is not afraid of the Patriots' fast break.

All in all, winning UCLA is not as difficult as winning the University of Florida Gators today.
