This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 35 The Third Game

"Brentwood College beat Houston Bay College and won by 16 points."

Coach Jim announced the news after the players returned to the lounge after taking a shower.

Although Flint Hills School is now on a two-game losing streak, as expected, the Houston Bay Academy led by Gerald Green lost, and the score was stretched relatively wide.

"With a win over Brentwood Academy we have a chance to take on the top of Group C."

Coach Jim also played a video in the lounge for people to record in advance, which was the game between Houston Bay College and Brentwood College.

"Julian Wright of Brentwood High School is a comprehensive basketball player. Although he is only 2.03 meters tall, he has an excellent wingspan of 2.15 meters. In this game, he restrained the ace of Houston Bay Academy very well. Scorer Gerald Green."

In the game in the video, Gerald Green played extremely uncomfortable. He made 7 turnovers on the offensive end, of which two were blocked by the opposing Wright and two were intercepted by the opponent.

"He's not an easy player to deal with."

In the three games of the group stage, Zhou Lin met star-level small forwards, Gerald Green, Dae Quinn Cook, and Julian Wright tomorrow.

The former two are offensive small forwards, while Julian Wright seems to be better at making contributions on the defensive end.

After taking a shower, watching the video, and having dinner in the hotel, Zhou Lin was ready to turn off the lights and go to sleep.

In the two games during the day, he played almost all 10 minutes. It can be said that he was tired enough, but he heard a knock on the door shortly after he lay down.

"Zhou, are you there?"

Kang Li's voice came from outside the door, Zhou Lin got up and opened the door.

Standing beside Conley was a middle-aged white man wearing a hat.

"Sorry for disturbing you."

"Sit in the house."

Zhou Lin invited Kangli and the middle-aged man into the room at the same time.

"My name is Lance, and I'm a player development consultant at Ohio State University. I watched your game this afternoon."

Lance explained: "I thought you were the guy I was looking for, so I knew I had to talk to you."

Lance had gone to coach Jim before, but the old Jim said that he would not make any decisions or even suggestions for Zhou Lin before the invitational tournament ended, so Lance could only ask Conley for introduction.

"You want me on the Ohio State basketball team."

"Yes, Ohio State University is also a traditional strong team in the NCAA. If you choose us, the team will not only provide you with a full scholarship, but also give you some extra help."

"I'm glad you can say that, Mr. Lance, but I'm afraid all I can say is sorry."

"Why?" Conley was also surprised: "Mr. Lance is sincere enough, and he will also give you a promise. Whether it is daily life, team training, or playing time, he will not be stingy."

"Greg Oden, Conley, and Daequan Cook will join Ohio State University in a year. At that time, you can become the dominant team in the NCAA. What a bright future."

Lance advised.

In fact, if it was in the past, Zhou Lin would not have shown any resistance to joining that team, but he has already made an agreement with Misha that he will go to college in Virginia or Washington, and he does not want to leave Washington too far. In this way, I can go back to see that old boy Wang Hanxiang at any time.

In name, Wang Hanxiang is his boss, but the relationship between the two goes beyond that.

"Unfortunately, I will probably only choose schools in Virginia or Washington." Zhou Lin said truthfully.

"It's heartbreaking."

Conley knew that Zhou Lin had already made a choice, and Lance couldn't talk to him anyway.

Before the start of the second day with Brentwood College, Flint Hills School, which was originally unknown, suddenly became a hot spot for reporters.

Of course, today's reporters don't care whether Zhou Lin is white, black, or yellow. His 40 points yesterday set the highest score in the tournament, and he was facing the No. [-] high school team in the United States.

"Zhou, I heard that Ohio State University really wanted you to join their team, but you refused?"

The news from last night is now spreading!
Zhou Lin thought for a while and said: "It's not that Ohio State University is bad. Ohio State University is the strongest team that has offered me an olive branch. It's just that I came to the United States four years ago and have been in Virginia. I am more familiar with it, so I hope to join a team near Washington or Virginia, of course, I am not sure about joining that team now."

"So sorry for the Ohio State coach."

The reporter smiled and said: "Of course, I will write your words in the newspaper, and let all the Virginia teams go crazy for you."

Zhou Lin looked at it. This is a reporter from Sports Illustrated. If he really published his words in the newspaper, the publicity effect would not be too good.

Of course, back on the basketball court, Zhou Lin knew that the most important thing for him to do was to win this game.

Although the New Jersey Invitational Tournament did not have any official honors, it respected the nation's high school geniuses. The flashes of each game represented an increase in exposure.

Just like Sun Yue in the 2007 class, he was able to be selected. On the one hand, he has outstanding physical talent, but he is not considered the strongest among Chinese defenders. It is inseparable from team operation and trial training multiple teams to increase exposure.

The smell of wine is still afraid of deep alleys.

Zhou Lin knows very well that when high school star players become his stepping stones, he will get better opportunities.

And Julian Wright will be one of them.

He is at the level of a quasi-NBA player, and his defensive ability is much better than his offensive ability.

The two sides shook hands in greeting. Julian Wright's eyes were calm and firm, which looked more disturbing than the arrogant Gerald Green.

Win this game and Brentwood Academy will qualify.

The jump ball begins!
Flint Hill School got the first ball.

Mason gave the ball to Zhou Lin, and Julian Wright directly defended Zhou Lin. With his long arms, he did interfere a lot with Zhou Lin.

Compared with the previous two games, the players have also experienced a fundamental change in the team from Virginia.

For Zhou Lin, a player who just scored 40 points must be extremely important.

Even Julian Wright doesn't regard himself as an all-American star high school student, the only thing he wants to do is to defend Zhou Lin!

Unlike ordinary star players, in many games, Julian Wright is willing to be a defensive engineer.
