I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 25 Attention
"Mark, I watched the game. He is really a player we need urgently. He can bring us a lot of help."

"My vision can't go wrong. Now we should think about how to get him. I heard that many teams are interested in this little guy."

"According to our current record, the draft pick we have this year should not be too high, and I'm afraid we won't be able to miss it."

"Then I'll think of a way. This player is bound to win. I like his playing style so much."

After Cuban finished the call with Nelson, he re-focused on the playing field.

Not only those professionals and bigwigs in the NBA are paying attention to this game.

There are many NCAA teams that have not been eliminated so far are also paying attention to this game.

In the conference room of the hotel where Duke University stayed, Coach K was explaining the game to his players in real time.

In a game that ended earlier, they defeated UCLA University and successfully advanced to the Elite Eight.

The winner of the game between Marquette University and the University of Kentucky will be their opponent in the next round, so check the strength of the opponent in advance.

After watching the halftime game, Coach K almost decided that the opponent in the next round was Marquette University.

What he didn't expect was that he saw such an interesting scene in the second half of the game, which can be described as a windfall.

The old coach K imagined what it would be like if Marquette University did not have the No. 13 player.

There is no doubt that Marquette University does not pose any threat to Duke University!

Immediately, the old coach K asked the players watching the game: "What do you see from this game?"

"Wade and Dinard both have flaws in offense. If there is no such variable as Lee, the winner of tonight's game should be the University of Kentucky." Also this year's freshman JJ-Redick replied.

"Then what can you do to restrict that No. 13 player?" Old Coach K nodded and then asked another question.

"If Lee plays in the low post, then send Sheldon to defend. They are about the same height and wingspan, so they should be able to limit; if Lee shoots from the outside, then send Deng Tai to defend."

"The Kentucky Wildcats' defense in this game is problematic. If there is enough confrontation and entanglement, or he turns over easily, then Lee's shooting percentage will drop significantly, and his ball-handling skills are very poor, and his scoring methods are single. It's easy to guess what he's going to do next, very easy to control."

After JJ-Redick finished speaking, Coach K kept nodding.

It hit the nail on the head!

Just sent Jay Williams away, and now welcomes a marksman with outstanding talent and such a high IQ, God bless Duke University.

"The analysis is very good, but some details need to be improved after going back. Next, we will continue to watch the game and see if we can find out the flaws of Marquette University again." After the old coach K finished speaking, he looked back at the TV screen.

Houston, Toyota Center.

At this point, there are less than 10 minutes left before the end of the game.

The Kentucky Wildcats still did not achieve a reversal, and the Marquette Golden Eagles firmly controlled the rhythm of the game, keeping the point difference within 15 points.

"Once again Dwyane is carrying a defender and forcing a layup. It's not the first time he's done it. He's turned the Kentucky Wildcats inside out and no one can stop him from scoring."

"It seems that there is no need for Lee to play. Dwyane can beat the Kentucky Wildcats to pieces by himself."

In the front studio, Barkley and Kenny Smith reported the progress of the game to the fans.

"Oh! Guess what I saw. Lee appeared on the sidelines and was ready to play. It seems that Marquette University coach Kline has not given up on him." Barkley joked.

He somewhat complained that Klein put Li Xuan on the bench in the second half, making him miss Li Xuan's performance time.

With little time left and a big lead, it is reasonable to say that you don't need to send in the main players, but March Madness is different. Making the players' statistics better can improve the draft pick.

What's more, the Kentucky Wildcats didn't give up the game either. All their main players were still working hard on the court, and Li Xuan had no problem playing.

When Li Xuan came on the court, the Kentucky Wildcats were even more stretched, unable to defend against two fully fired players.

As time passed, the game gradually came to an end, and Marquette University led by more than 20 points. If there is no miracle, the result of the game will not be changed.

After the game lost suspense, the topics discussed by the audience in the stands no longer mentioned the game.

"YAO, your compatriot is too good. He will definitely be able to adapt to the confrontation in the NBA. After the game, I will go to the team management to discuss, let them pay attention to Li's performance in the next game, and strive to win him in the draft. "Francis said excitedly.

"Steve, don't get excited. Ah Xuan hasn't announced his participation in this year's draft. If he stays in college and plays for another year, your excitement is not in vain." Yao persuaded from the side.

"I'm sure he will participate in this year's draft. The NCAA can no longer make him improve. Besides, the NBA stage is bigger. There are many masters here. It is the highest hall of basketball. A person who loves basketball will not refuse to join here "Francis said very confidently.

"Well, even if Axuan participates in the draft this year, the Rockets may not be able to select him. After this game, Axuan's name should appear in the notebooks of many scouts and general managers. The competition is very strong. "Dayao analyzed truthfully.

"Hey! I really want to play with this kid. If it comes true, my assists per game will definitely increase by several." Francis said regretfully.

After hearing this, Dayao was speechless for a while, no wonder he was so optimistic about Axuan, it turned out that he was looking for a tool for assists.

In other words, you can brush the ball if you pass it to me!
Meanwhile, the Olympic Building on Fifth Avenue in New York, the NBA headquarters.

NBA commissioner David Stern is also watching the game.

David Stern looked at the Chinese boy who was killing all directions on the TV screen, his eyes were full of anticipation.

To fully open up the Huaxia market, one Yao is obviously not enough.

Therefore, when he saw a Huaxia student appearing in the NCAA, his eyes lit up instantly, and he placed high hopes on Li Xuan.

To open up the Chinese market, the influence of a star defender is far greater than that of a star center.

Dayao has proven himself in the NBA and has enough potential to grow into a star player.

The number 13 on the TV screen, can he successfully enter the NBA and become a star guard?

If there are two star-level Chinese players in the NBA at the same time, the scene is unimaginable, and what a spectacular prosperity it will be.

After David Stern buried his beautiful fantasy deep in his heart, he watched the progress of the game and had already guessed the result of the game. It was time to do something about it.

So, he called Mark Tatum, one of the vice presidents, and pointed to the TV screen and said: "Li's performance in 'March Madness' is obvious to all, and I think he will be a key figure in our development of the Chinese market." .”

"Mark, the time is almost up. Let the reporters start to act. I want to see this little guy in the sports newspapers tomorrow."

"Understood!" Mark Tatum responded. He had already noticed this Chinese student and wanted to report to Stern. Unexpectedly, the president had already made arrangements. He is indeed the NBA's leading star maker.
