This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 133 Reaching the Top of the NCAA (8K Subscription Required)
The Patriots led by 8 points with less than 16 minutes left in the game.

And it's still in an NCAA game with a slow pace.

In theory, it is already a relatively safe number.

This is completely different from leading by 16 points in the first half. After all, the remaining time and the number of rounds can probably be calculated.

"I said that a new king will be born."

"UCLA's bullshit tactics and poor shooting are really unexpected."

On the TV commentator side of TNT, Barkley laughed wildly in the way that I had expected such a situation a long time ago, while A. Smith couldn't help but began to complain about some of Ben Howland's substitutions. Actions and lack of tactical arrangements.

Most Americans think that the Patriots helped UCLA kick away the big rock at the University of Florida, purely as a wedding dress for UCLA.

But I didn't expect that the George Mason University Patriots finally became the big rock that completely crushed UCLA and slapped many people in the face.

In the domestic live broadcast room, Ma Jian and Su Qun were not as worried as before, but looked forward to it. Apart from the championship, they also looked forward to Lin's NCAA history in the United States this week, the upcoming triple-double!
And the comments have blown up.

'Zhou Lin is awesome'

'Our pride in Shanghai'

'It's a paradox that people of yellow race can't play basketball well'

'Waiting for a triple-double from Zhou Lin'

'Zhou Lin's basketball route is worth learning for domestic players'

If you add the fans who watched the text live broadcast, it is estimated that the number of viewers who followed Wave X at its peak was probably more than 3000 million.

There are still many fans using the latest color-screen mobile phones, and they are constantly refreshing the webpage.

It will take some time for the smart phone to come out, and most of the game information and data have to be swiped over and over again.

Driven by the spread of terror.

You must know that the ratings of the NBA finals in China are not so high.

You must know that in the 2003 finals between the Nets and Spurs, the number of viewers was only 800 million. This game without any superstars with a good style of play on both sides is really not very enjoyable to watch.

In fact, before 2006, most NBA games had peak audiences of just over 1000 million.

This NCAA final match, however, attracted countless attention because of the existence of a yellow man.

Moreover, this game has not been vigorously publicized. How many fans came here one after another when they knew the news, so the data is still growing.

……

Facing the upcoming championship.

Jim Laragana is still very calm. Even for him, this is a year of making history and creating miracles.

He had to admit that such a history cannot be easily copied.

The following year, Zhou Lin will participate in the draft, some players will graduate, and the George Mason University Patriots will enter a period of complete remodeling. It is unknown what results they can achieve.

And as long as he wins the championship today, he will be engraved on the NCAA Merit Cup.

It was even written down heavily.

A team that failed to enter the NCAA March Madness last season has a chance to win the championship trophy this year.

It was so dreamy.

"It's time for us to reap the rewards. We must be more cautious and not let the victory slip away easily. Our opponents haven't given up yet. We can't let go of our guard until the second the whistle blows."

"Don't easily give chances to easy three-point shots and fouls to send opponents to the free throw line to chase points, and maintain your emotions and mood, so that you can win the game more stably."

With a gap of 16 points, if UCLA wants to create some suspense, it may have to shoot wildly from beyond the three-point line. After all, two points and two points are too slow.

Zhou Lin knew very well that the UCLA Bruins were about to breathe their last breath.

It's like a terminally ill person with his last breath left.

If that tone dissipates, then UCLA will completely fall down.

In order to avoid the opponent's three-pointer, the Patriots also changed the previous zone defense method to man marking.

对方的几个勉强的三分球投手里，乔丹.法玛尔4中1，达伦.科里森6中2，阿伦.阿弗拉罗7投2中。

Neither are particularly good.

But be careful to sail for ten thousand years, they can't really make them feel like a Jedi counterattack.

In the defensive round, according to the coach's arrangement, Zhou Lin faced Afflalo, and Blair faced Darren Collison.

If you really want to break through and get points, you can give it.

Two points and two points to catch up, the year of the monkey can catch up.

In one round after coming back, he didn't need to face Jordan Farmar, who was defending the zone, and became much more comfortable. Facing Lamar Butler, who was single-defending himself and robbed, he went directly to the inside in a disguised form. Jay Lewis made a drift shot and scored two points.

This is also a scoring opportunity that the Patriots can give.

"Two-pointers are not enough, UCLA needs more three-pointers!"

A relatively quick two-pointer is also acceptable to the UCLA Bruins. The key is that they must defend the Patriots' offense and have at least two small climaxes before they have a chance to catch up.

In order to recover the score in the shortest time, Farmar and Afflalo directly pressed on the spot, but this is a lesson learned from the past. Zhou Lin and Blair took the initiative to help Lamar Butler catch the ball in the backcourt, relieved The possibility of Butler being intercepted.

In the frontcourt, the Patriots, which had a 14-point lead, were not as anxious as before. The ball was passed on the outside several times, but no chance was found, and it was finally given to Zhou Lin.

This is the most cost-effective strategy. Even if you fail to score, the 35-second attack time is almost exhausted.

The Patriots have that capital.

Time was passing, Zhou Lin glanced at the timer, and when the countdown reached 5 seconds, he slapped the ball to the ground, and then cut in a big step, Luke Mbah a Moute waved his long arm to interfere with Zhou Lin's The forward route, but Zhou Lin pulled back at the next moment, and Luke Ba Moute, who had eaten Zhou Lin's bluff, almost split his legs!
Zhou Lin took a step back, glanced at the three-point line under his feet, and Luke Mbah a Moute, who didn't stand up immediately, bent his bow and set an arrow while making sure he didn't step on the line!

The basketball draws a beautiful arc and falls straight to the basket!
In this game, Zhou Lin only made one shot from beyond the three-point line and failed to hit it. This is the second time he made a shot.

The red light goes in!

In the TNT studio, Barkley shouted loudly: "It's over, it's over, everything is over! Zhou Lin personally sent the Bruins away."

Flying Pig even stood up from his seat and waved his wings a few times with his hands.

In this game, Zhou Lin was not outstanding in scoring. With the three-pointer just now, he only scored 13 points.

But almost every ball is priceless.

Especially the three-pointer just now, it directly nailed UCLA's coffin to death.

60-43, the score difference was closer to twenty points.

In the domestic live broadcast room, Su Qun also said excitedly: "It's stable, the Patriots had a 99% chance of winning the championship before, but now, at least [-]%, and Zhou Lin has a high probability of winning the semi-finals Most Valuable Player."

The Bruins players who fell into the ice cellar really wanted to cry without tears. He scored a 2-pointer, Zhou Lin returned a 3-pointer, and the most annoying thing was that it was almost the buzzer.

Now that the game has entered within 7 minutes, the 17-point gap is really difficult to catch up.

However, the closer to this moment, the more stable the mentality of the Patriots.

Coach Jim Laragana stood on the sidelines, his brows never stretched. If you didn't look at the team name, you would have thought it was the Patriots who were 17 points behind!
One ebb and the other, the mentality of the UCLA Bruins players began to explode.

At this time, we must start throwing three-pointers.

After the impatient Jordan Farmar returned to halftime, he jumped up and pulled a three-pointer against Lamar Butler, but none of his own players came.

Missed again, and Jordan Farmar's three-point shooting percentage has reached 5 of 1. Zhou Lin protected the rebound again, bringing his own rebounds to 11.

"After receiving the 11th rebound, the only suspense now is when Zhou Lin's two assists will come."

Ma Jian said: "We still have to be steady now. After all, there are still more than 6 minutes left. There will be a score difference of about 2 points in the last 20 minutes of the game. You can try to get Zhou Lin an assist."

Time passed quickly, and the Patriots basically secured victory in 3 minutes.

Jordan Farmar's three-point shot, Allen Afflalo and Darren Collison, the three of them made five crazy three-pointers in the past 3 minutes, but Collison hit one That's all.

On the Patriots side, it is getting smoother and smoother, with three-pointers and strong inside shots.

The difference is getting bigger and bigger.

Zhou Lin assisted Blair for a dunk in a fast-break round, raising his assist count to 9 times, only one assist away from a triple-double.

3′11，爱国者队以69-48，领先了整整21分。

Of course, although there is no suspense in the game, the NCAA does not have any concept of garbage time. The UCLA Bruins still have the same rotation as before. At this time, the players are really suffering.

As the leader, Jim Lara Garner took the initiative to replace Gabe Woodnor and Jordan Carter.

However, Zhou Lin, Blair, and Will Thomas have not been replaced yet.

"One more, one more!"

The electronic screen at the scene also showed Zhou Lin's statistics today, 13 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 blocks, only one assist away from the historic triple-double in the NCAA Finals!

But Zhou Lin stayed on the court, the most important task was to make up for the last assist.

At 1'02 in the game, Zhou Lin finally found a chance and passed a pass to Jordan Carter who was cutting in. The latter's half-block shot helped Zhou Lin get his 10th assist.

NCAA triple-double achievement achieved!

Zhou Lin's data was also printed on the electronic screen at the scene.

Zhou Lin at this moment is a star among the stars.

Coach Jim's brow finally stretched out after the final whistle of the game.

At the end of the game, the Patriots finally won the 75 NCAA Tournament with a score difference of 57-18 and 2006 points.

On TNT TV, Barkley was already shouting hoarsely.

"The Patriots are at the top."

"Surprised, but awesome team."

"Congratulations Zhou Lin, proud of him."

"Have you noticed the five-star red flag he wears all the time? His victory also represents the ever-changing Chinese basketball field."

"I think that one day, Zhou Lin will definitely wear the jersey of the national team."

"Let us congratulate and bless Zhou Lin, who is only 19 years old this year!"

In addition to the live broadcast room, domestic video sites have already exploded. The video of Zhou Lin leading the Patriots to win the championship was uploaded immediately, instantly detonating the Internet.

……

UCLA entered the NCAA finals for the 13th time, and finally lost.

The dark horse George Mason University has been black to the end and has become another top team in the history of the new king team!

The old man Jim Laragana rushed into the court like a child, but was resisted by all the players including Zhou Lin.

"Zhou Lin, do something shocking!"

Rich Blair reminded Zhou Lin loudly while putting on the Patriots' championship cap that he had prepared long ago: "You deserve all the praise and show off tonight."

Under the "pushing" of all the players of the Patriots, Zhou Lin stepped onto the technical stage, wearing the five-star red flag that had been prepared long ago. Among the yellow and green camps, there were still many red flags. figure.

At this moment, Zhou Lin, wearing the five-star red flag, seems to be able to feel the strength of the motherland gathered in his body.

Then, he bowed to the 3 spectators present: "Thank you, thank you, with your support, we made it!"

All the fans stood up and gave Zhou Lin enough respect.

Then he beat his chest hard and shouted three more times.

"Come on, Patriots!"

It was very cool and cathartic, and after Zhou Lin said these few words, he also burst into tears.

In competitive sports, there is nothing more touching to be recognized after hard work.

On the other side, Jay Lewis, Lamar Butler and Tony Skinn hugged each other and wept. These three fourth-year players won the NCAA championship in their last year. It's so perfect.

This team has carried their youth for four full years, and it will be their best youth memory. Even if they can no longer play like they are today, it is enough.

This life has lived up to basketball!
Because ah, this period is really too perfect!
It's just that there is only one champion, and some people are happy while others are sad.

Almost everyone in the Patriots team, including the coaches, cried, and many people at UCLA were also wiping their tears.

Two kinds of crying are completely different, one is joy and the other is regret.

When George Mason University reached the top, UCLA also became the most embarrassing background board. Similarly, they also worked hard for a whole year, played more than 40 games, and suffered injuries and low ebbs. In the end they rushed out of the encirclement and reached the end, but they didn't stand on the top.

Zhou Lin led the George Mason University players into the UCLA crowd.

While hugging them, Zhou Lin gave his opponent the highest appreciation.

"Wonderful game, you have caused us endless trouble, and thank you for contributing to a wonderful game with us!"

Ben Howland touched Zhou Lin's head, smiled appreciatively and said, "Congratulations, you deserve this kind of praise and honor!"

Players from both sides hug each other.

"If possible, see you at a higher place!"

In this game, Jordan Farmar went up first and then down. In the end, he only made 17 of 6 shots and scored 13 points and 4 assists.

"Famar, exchange jerseys!"

Zhou Lin patted Jordan Farmar on the shoulder and said.

Jordan Farmar's team Zhou Lin will definitely not have any opinions on what he did. The two exchanged jerseys, which was also photographed by reporters.

After exchanging Zhou Lin's No. 35 jersey with Jordan Farmar's No. 1 jersey, he took another photo holding the opponent's jersey.

The UCLA players began to leave the field one after another, and the relatives and friends of the George Mason University Patriots players also came to the scene, and the part of taking pictures and hugging to celebrate began.

Wang Hanxiang, Misha, high school coach Jim, and some Chinese all had to take photos with Zhou Lin.

"Congratulations, your dream has come true!"

Misha giggled and said, "My hero!"

"What about the hero's reward?"

Zhou Lin pulled Misha over, and before he could react, he began to kiss the latter recklessly.

"Come on stage with me later."

Zhou Lin pulled Misha and gave her a championship hat.

The scene gave enough time for the George Mason University Patriots to celebrate. After the celebration ceremony with relatives and friends, the normal procedure of the NCAA championship began.

The first step is for the staff to move the ladders and let the players go up and cut the nets.

This is an unwritten process, unique treatment for championship teams.

Originated in the early days of the NCAA, of course there are other leagues that have the same special ceremony, but the NCAA is the most distinctive.

It's a souvenir for yourself.

After all, there is only one basketball, and it should be given to Jim, the coach who led the team to win the championship for the first time, and the floor and chairs cannot be removed!

Every player can go up and cut a handful of nets.

Originally, Zhou Lin was arranged to be the first to cut, but Zhou Lin pushed the captain Jay Lewis up. In Zhou Lin's opinion, he is the most difficult player in this team. There are potential injuries, but he has repeatedly stood up at critical moments, and he is also the most respected by Zhou Lin in the team besides the coach.

Then, at the request of everyone, Jay Lewis performed the two-finger magic skill necessary for taking pictures.

"Awesome!"

Although this picture is a bit naive, the teammates still cooperated and gave applause and praise.

As for Zhou Lin, he was the last one to go up and cut it.

And under Blair's spoof, Zhou Lin's head was put in the hoop and a photo came.

After the ceremony, all the players temporarily returned to the locker room, and the equipment manager had already prepared the championship T-shirts.

Zhou Lin also ordered one for Misha and Wang Hanxiang, who are also his most important people in the United States.

At the same time, Zhou Lin will also bring them to the championship stage.

A small stage belonging to the champion has been quickly set up in the venue.

Back in the arena, the fans have not dispersed, they will give the champion the most sincere blessings and congratulations.

All the Patriots players stood on the stage where the championship trophy was placed, and the coach Jim Laragana, who stood in the center, was the first to win the championship trophy.

Zhou Lin and Jay Lewis stood on the left and right sides respectively!

The surrounding players distributed in a fan shape, and at the same time reached out to touch the trophy.

Below is a large row of media reporters squatting, taking pictures there.

"Congratulations to the George Mason University Patriots for winning the 2005-2006 NCAA Basketball Tournament National Championship."

After the host announced again that the Patriots had won the championship, countless ribbons were exploded in the arena, colorful ribbons were flying all over the sky, and championship trophies flowed among the players in turn.

When the players got the trophy, they all rejoiced and jumped up and down happily.

After a brief celebration ceremony, the audience fell silent. The host walked up to Jim Laragana with a microphone and said, "Congratulations, Coach Jim. As the champion coach, do you want to say something at this moment?"

"Of course, too many too many!"

Jim Laragana had already controlled his choking, but he couldn't help it again at this moment. He wiped his face with a towel and said: "Thank you to the players of the Patriots for their dedication, thank them for their trust, and thank you to all the opponents. It is their honing that makes us better and better."

Suddenly there was applause.

Although these words are a bit stereotyped, but they are said in tears in front of tens of thousands of people, they still have a strong shocking power.

"This year's Patriots have changed a lot. In June last year, Zhou and Rich came to our team. We haven't even entered March Madness for many years, but I told Zhou Lin and Rich. Blair, I can make them better, we can go into March Madness together, I admit I'm a big talker, but..."

"Children, I have lived up to your trust."

"All the glory belongs to you, and all the honors of the George Mason University Patriots belong to you!"

After finishing speaking, Coach Jim couldn't help crying again. With the help of Zhou Lin's shoulders to ease his emotions, Zhou Lin smiled and hugged the old man, and said comfortingly: "Coach, I have always believed in you, you are the best I have ever met." coach."

This is the third time Jim Laragana has shed tears!
The old man would never show his emotions casually, but at this moment he became so sensitive.

Jim Laragana collected his emotions again and began to give a speech again. This was his most glorious few minutes.

"Congratulations again, Coach Jim!"

The host responded with this sentence, ending the interview with Jim Laragana.

In the next time, it is time to interview players. It is not as old-fashioned as interviewing the head coach. They are all very casual topics. They will also ask about future trends, or some interesting or gossip things in the usual time. .

"Next, the award that will be presented is the most outstanding player award in the semi-finals. Who do you think should belong to this award?"

The host said jokingly.

"Hey, Zhou, stop making out with your girlfriend, let's talk about something serious, do you think you should be the MOP this year?"

"Well, everyone is eligible for MOP, and the victory belongs to every player." Zhou Lin said politely.

"You got an unprecedented triple-double in the finals, 14 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. You should thank your teammates for making those damn shots!"

……

The MOP trophy was also brought up, indicating that the MOP selection has ended.

Zhou Lin deeply felt the difficulty of American journalists.

MOP’s statistics are based on two games. Zhou Lin scored 28 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds when he played against the University of Florida Gators. In addition to the average data of this game, it was 21 points, 8.5 assists and 8.5 rebounds. Reached an astonishing 53%, and the three-point shooting percentage was also 40%.

There is almost no data in the team that can compete.

The closest to Zhou Lin's data is Jay Lewis. He scored 13 points and 9 rebounds in this game. The combined average of the two games reached 15 points and 8 rebounds. Of course, the shooting rate reached an astonishing 72%, and 75% of the three Point shooting percentage.

This kind of data is not bad, but his performance really can't compete with Zhou Lin for MOP.

In the end, the host personally presented the MOP trophy to Zhou Lin.

"Congratulations, the first Asian player to win the MOP trophy in the NCAA competition."

At this moment, Zhou Lin was wearing the red flag on his shoulders, and solemnly and slowly took over the MOP trophy.

Then it was time for acceptance speeches.

Although Zhou Lin is not good at this, he still said very emotionally: "To be honest, I think MOP is the owner of our entire team. Without them, I would not be here today. We are not the best players in this league. , but the Patriots gave us a family, Coach Jim is the parent, he put us together, we work together, we have the ability to move forward, thank you coach, thank you all."

"Is there anyone in particular to thank?"

Seeing Zhou Lin's appearance, the host took the initiative to say, "For example, your relatives?"

Zhou Lin smiled and said: "I need to thank five people in particular. The first is my current coach, who made my journey in the NCAA a lot smoother. The second is my high school coach, Jim Plaid Shirt Coach, he's in the audience right now."

The camera came to the coach of Zhou Lin High School at the right time. He was still wearing a checkered shirt, smiling and giving the camera a thumbs up!
"The third one, my buddy, Rich Blair, my high school teammate, we have known each other for five years! When I first came to the United States, he gave me enough help, whether it was basketball or life, It was also he who made me feel the tolerance and friendliness of the United States for the first time! Moreover, I came to George Mason University, and it was also recommended by Rich Blair."

"brothers forever!"

Blair smiled, and gave Zhou Lin a firm hug again.

"The fourth one!" Zhou Lin pulled Misha out, hugged her and said, "This is the best girl in the world, mine."

The two kiss lightly.

"The last one."

Zhou Lin found Wang Hanxiang from the audience. Zhou Lin had asked Wang Hanxiang to take the stage before, but Wang Hanxiang was still unwilling. Now Zhou Lin still dragged him to the stage.

"My boss is also my closest relative in the United States. We don't have any blood relationship, but without him, I can't live today. He gave me a second life, helping me like a father helping a son. And I will treat him like my father!"

Looking at Wang Hanxiang and Zhou Lin's eyes were red.

"Without his encouragement and support, I would not have come here. Thank you, Uncle Wang!"

Wang Hanxiang has always been a hard-spoken elder with a soft heart. In the past two years, Zhou Lin has received too much favor from him.

Wang Hanxiang also had rosy eye circles, and said: "Zhou Lin, you are doing well, you did it, and I am proud of you."

After Zhou Lin's speech, he gave his MOP trophy to all his teammates.

Well, it's okay to touch it.

Well, just don't sneak it home.

……

The awards ceremony is over.

But the Patriots' celebrations didn't end there.

Tonight, Zhou Lin also wanted to be presumptuous.

But before returning to the locker room, Zhou Lin met Magic Johnson and chatted for a while before returning to the locker room.

Zhou Lin's phone was buzzing, and his text message box was full.

Including the domestic media, the person in charge of the Basketball Association, and his own family members in China, they all called him a lot. Wang Zhizhi sent two short messages to express his congratulations, and Durant also sent himself a congratulatory message. The news, and the second student said that he will also win the NCAA championship next year.

Well, do you want to lobby Durant to come to George Mason University?
After all, Jim Laragana already has experience with the use of big small forwards.

And this year, I will run for the election. Jay Lewis, Lamar Butler, and Tony Skinner will graduate.

Four of the five starters were missing.

It can be said that we went back to before liberation overnight.

Of course, the influence of winning the championship may attract some good high school players, but George Mason University is not a famous basketball school after all!
If you win the championship this year, but you won't even be able to enter March Madness next year, that seems a little bad!

Moreover, this is still a high probability event!
Well, I want to talk to Xiaoshuai.

Yao Ming also sent himself a text message, which also asked him about his draft. He really wanted to let himself enter the Rockets.

Last year's Rockets just got Tracy McGrady, which is the kind of lineup that is going to win the championship. This year, due to injuries, they basically bid farewell to the playoffs.

They should be No. 8 in the lottery. They really have a chance to pick themselves, of course it's just a chance.

The addition of my NCAA championship and MOP is enough to make me go further. According to Thomas' prediction, if I win the championship and perform well, I am afraid that I will be able to enter the top five, or even the top three!

But the Rockets don't want high draft picks.

This kind of team with a stable structure doesn't like to make too many moves on rookies. The free market is probably the first choice to find immediate combat power.

And this year's draft, the Rockets were also frustrated. They selected Rudy Gay and sent them to the Grizzlies for Battier.

So the possibility of going to the Chinese home team is not particularly high, and there is a high probability that I will go to some bad teams.

If I remember correctly, the Raptors, Bulls, Bobcats, Trail Blazers, and Eagles are the owners of the top five picks.

If you choose among the top five!
If it can be selected by the Trail Blazers with the fourth overall pick, and then this team can get Brandon Roy according to the normal historical process, I am afraid it will be the most perfect.

In fact, although the Portland team is a bit gangster in temperament and some players are not well-known, the structure is still good, and the team still has a winning background.

Get Oden in the 2007 draft.

It is not a dream to reach the playoffs the next year.

I would recommend some traditional Chinese medicine massage to Brandon Roy and set up a pair of guns. Even in the Wild West, the playoffs should be stable for many years to come.

As for the Bobcats, the Raptors, these teams that will continue to be bad in the future, it is best not to go.

Forget it, no more!

Zhou Lin put away his mobile phone, let's think about these troublesome things later.

"Taste something good for you!"

The next moment, as soon as Zhou Lin came out of the shadow of the locker room, he was shot straight by Blair's champagne gun!
