This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 27 Death Group B

"I can't believe it, Zhou, you are so good at Texas Hold'em, did you often play it before?"

On the way back to the room, Blair yelled, "You haven't seen how reluctant those guys from North Lawrence High School are to lose."

"Okay, go to bed early."

In fact, Zhou Lin is not a veteran. The first time he played Texas Hold'em was when he went to Misha's house last Christmas.

Some things can only be attributed to talent.

It's just that when he got up the next day and met Conley, Conley wasn't too angry, he just said with a smile, we seem to be in a group, see you in today's game.

The draw for the invitational tournament has come out, and Conley knew it a little earlier than Zhou Lin.

A total of [-] teams accepted the invitation to come to New Jersey this time, divided into four groups, ABCD, with exactly four teams in each group.

In the first round, there will be a group round-robin match, and the top one or two will enter the next round, and the first or two teams from other groups will cross duel for a single-elimination knockout match.

Eight to four, four to two, the final.

The most teams have to play six games. Of course, because the game is only for three days, each team has to play at most two games a day.

However, half of the teams will be out the next day.

Coach Jim also came over to announce the news of the grouping.

Flint Hills School, in Group B, is in the same group as North Lawrence High School in Indiana, Gulf Academy in Houston, Texas, and Brentwood Academy in Tennessee.

In addition to the top-ranked North Lawrence High School led by Oden, Conley, and Cook, the leader of Houston Bay College is Gerald Green, a super scorer who has only nine fingers but is famous all over the United States. Leading the pack at Rentwood is Julian Wright, a star player who can play all three positions.

Lawrence North High School is the No. [-] seed, and no one wants to be in the same group as him in the first round.

Thinking of Kangli's smiling face today, Zhou Lin felt a little nervous. This guy is going to take revenge crazily in the game!

Zhou Lin inquired about it.

The general situation of Group A is that Benton Harbor High School is led by Wilson, South Quinnett High School is led by Louis Williams, Bradford Christian School, a traditional basketball school, and Danny Green St. Mary's High School, the competitive pressure was even more brutal than Zhou Lin's Group A.

The members of Group C are the prestigious Bishop Dodd High School in California, Monte Cristo Rose High School led by OJ Mayo and 12th grade star player Bill Walker. In the same group, another school is Martin Brothers High School from Louisiana. Their leader is the third grade DJ. Augustine is also a ruthless character.

Group D is the host St. Joseph High School led by Bynum, Skyline High School led by CJ Myers, another Texas team, and the leader of Westchester High School, another California team. It was Ramelle Johnson, and from Snohomish High School in Washington State, their leading figure was white forward Joan Brockman.

There are sixteen teams, none of which is a weak team. If it is not the winner of the state championship, it is a well-known basketball high school in the country.

Jim also brought the match order of Group B.

From 9:12 to 2:5 in the morning, against Bay College in Houston, from 9:12 to 2:5 in the afternoon, against the powerful North Lawrence High School, from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] tomorrow morning, against Brentwood College, the last opponent in the group, if you can get the top two in the group , from [-] to [-] in the afternoon, and also participate in the quarterfinals.

If the quarter-finals can be won, then the game the day after tomorrow will be the semi-finals and finals.

But being able to stand out from the death group of Group B is also a huge problem.

Flint Hills arrived at the competition arena at 08:30 in the morning, and the opponent, Houston Bay Academy, also arrived at the front and rear feet. The game will officially start at 09:30, and this hour, in addition to warming up, there will be reporters Conduct interviews before the game.

In addition to the local media in New Jersey, well-known media figures such as Sports Illustrated and NABC will also be present.

While Flint Hills was warming up, Gerald Green had already attracted the attention and applause of many media with a super windmill dunk.

"Wow, look, that's Gerald Green, he can jump too much, he seems to be able to hit the basket with his head."

"Be confident and remove the seeming."

Gerald Green will participate in the draft this year.

In fact, he is already a quasi-NBA player. Although his age is actually the same as most freshman students, he is still a high school student. It is no surprise that all his abilities have reached the The level of an NBA role player, the most striking thing is that his bounce has reached the sky-defying S.

If Zhou Lin remembers correctly, this guy's jumping ability is 110cm+, his height is 2.01 meters, his head is a lot over the frame, and his mouth can almost touch the basket.

Otherwise, it is impossible to blow out the candle on the basket.

In high school, Gerald Green was a super scorer who scored 30+ per game, and was also an all-around fighter with 12 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 blocks.

Now he is already a well-known high school student in the United States.

So in this game, almost all the media reporters paid the most attention to him.

Everyone is paying attention to whether this talented young man will skip college and run directly. After all, he has the possibility of entering the lottery.

"Is this how star players are treated?"

Blair pursed his lips. On the opposite side, there were at least seven or eight media outlets waiting for an interview opportunity at any time. On the Flint Hills side, there were only two ordinary media outlets from New Jersey in the waiting area, patted and watched indifferently.

"Hello, can I interview you?"

Finally, a middle-aged white reporter found Zhou Lin after warming up and had the opportunity to drink water, so he came up and said.

"of course can."

Zhou Lin sat down, and the latter greeted the camera and came over with a microphone, and asked, "Your name is Zhou...Zhou Lin, you are Chinese."

Zhou Lin frowned. This guy probably didn't even remember his name clearly, so he came to interview him.

"As a person of yellow race, how do you feel about appearing in such an important event as the New Jersey Invitational?"

"Can I not answer this question?"

"Sorry, I don't have any discrimination, but you are the first yellow race to appear in the New Jersey Invitational, an influential event, so I am particularly curious about you."

"If you interview me just because of my yellow skin, then I refuse!"

Zhou Lin said very displeased: "People of yellow race can also play basketball well. Okay, the interview is over!"
