I have a data panel in basketball

Chapter 43 It seems that I should stay in the NCAA for another year

However, it is not the same as the bad situation in those years. Those who joined the bad camp so late like Larry Bird did it with the intention that Lin Ri might not be selected by the No. [-] pick.

After all, Lin Ri's current draft prospects are only eighth and ninth in the first round, and there is still a certain distance from the top pick.

If he didn't perform so well going into "March Madness", maybe those teams that got the first few picks would hesitate to choose him.

Again, the biggest problem surrounding Lin Ri now is not his personal ability or talent.

He no longer needs to have any doubts about this!

The biggest problem with him is what level his talents will allow him to reach in the future-in history, there have been rookies without high talents who have not played well, and there are still a lot of them.

And for a guy like Lin Ri with a blank past in basketball history, the risk is even greater!
If he hadn't achieved good results in "March Madness", his draft prospects would have been much bleaker.

As for whether Lin Ri will encounter trouble in "March Madness", from Larry Bird's point of view, it is very likely.

After entering the "March Madness", the overall strength of the team is compared. Like North Carolina, none of the core players in the first round of the draft prospect this year is in the top ten of the first round, but this does not affect them from becoming a championship candidate.

Including the Sun Devils...

They are indeed good, but this team is good only because this team has James Harden and Lin Ri.

But even if they meet North Carolina, in Larry Bird's view, they are hard to beat with two fists, and a tiger is hard to beat a pack of wolves, and the possibility of being consumed to death is higher.

Taking a step back, if James Harden and Lin Ri can defeat the North Carolina heroes, then Larry Bird will also admit that it is his problem that he did not prepare early for such two geniuses and finally did not grab them.

But the current situation is that he knows that there is a super rookie like Lin Ri in this year's draft. If he is not asked to do something to win, he will definitely not be reconciled.

Larry Bird is not the only general manager of the team who has this kind of thinking, including New York Knicks general manager Donnie Walsh and Suns general manager Steve Kerr. It’s just that the Knicks have always been a bad team. general manager.

……

Time came to February.

After the Big Twelve Pacific League ended their regular season journey, they officially ushered in the playoffs.

The teams that have entered the playoffs are very serious about the arrival of the playoffs.

Even the Arizona Wildcats and UCLA are preparing for the playoffs this year.

In previous years, they didn't have to worry about their performance in the playoffs at all, because the playoff champion was often born by one of them, and the other team that didn't win the championship could also successfully enter the national championship with its regular season record.

But this year, once they fail to win the championship, they may not be able to enter the national championship. Especially for the Arizona Wildcats, the situation is more severe. Their regular season results are only ranked third, behind the Sun Devils and UCLA.

But if they can't play "March Madness" and have to watch the Arizona State University Sun Devils play "March Madness", it will feel very aggrieved to think about it.

There is only one road ahead of them, and that is to win the playoffs!
Compared with them, UCLA's current form is much more relaxed. As long as they don't let the Arizona Wildcats win the championship, then the problem will not be big.

No matter who they or the Sun Devils win, it is an acceptable result for them.

It's best if they win the championship by themselves, saving the need to compare regular season records.

But if the Sun Devils win the championship, they can accept it. No matter which one of the remaining teams has a better record than them.

In fact, the only thing they have to be wary of is the Arizona Wildcats.

Because apart from the three of them, the other teams in the playoffs of the top [-] Pacific leagues have little hope of winning the championship, so small that they are even less likely than the New York Knicks to win the championship this year...

The Sun Devils don't have to think about it. Their form is the clearest. They have already won the tickets to enter the top 64 in the country. Even if they don't win the championship, the schedule in "March Madness" will be a little more difficult.

For them, this is really not a big deal!

Especially for Lin Ri.

Before the playoffs, his overall personal data has increased a lot compared to when the new season just started three months ago:
"Name: Lin Ri;

With his current ability, even if he starts playing "March Madness" now, as long as he doesn't meet Griffin and Thabeet, he really has nothing to worry about.

And even for these two guys, he was just a little bit afraid, if they really wanted to fight, he didn't think he would lose!

Such confidence!
He is worthy of "March Madness", and now he is only facing a group of opponents who have been defeated by him twice in the regular season. What is there for him to be false?
nonexistent!

……

Sure enough, in the first round of the playoffs, the Sun Devils faced the eighth-ranked University of Colorado Buffaloes in the regular season and directly defeated their opponents by 18 points.

This is the smallest point difference that the University of Colorado has been beaten in three encounters with the Sun Devils this season.

They fought hard enough in this game, but they still couldn't resist the dual-core system of James Harden and Lin Ri of the Sun Devils.

After reaching the Final Four, the Sun Devils faced the Arizona Wildcats.

The "Arizona Derby" broke out in the playoffs.

It's just that the situation of the two sides is completely different at this moment. Even if the Sun Devils lose, they can still enter the national championship, but if the Wildcats lose, their season will end directly.

This allowed the Wildcats, like Colorado, to explode with a strong "desire to survive". They played the most stalemate start since they met the Sun Devils in three games this season.

In this game, they continuously aimed at Lin Ri's weakness in offensive ability with the ball, and constantly forced the Sun Devils to pass the ball into Lin Ri's hands, forcing the Sun Devils' offense to stagnate.

Wake Forest had used this trick against Lin Ri in the warm-up match before, but the final result was that Lin Ri ran to a high position, and with the help of James Harden's pick-and-roll cooperation, he perfectly resolved similar targets. Since then, no ball has ever defended Lin Ri like this.

Now the wildcats have used this tactic again. To be honest, the wildcats who have played for a season are indeed better than Wake Forest in terms of tactics, which makes them use this trick to delay the attack of the Sun Devils. The effect is also better.

Especially when Lin Ri catches the ball in the low post, the Sun Devils' offense is always prone to stagnation.

This left the Wildcats behind by just 5 points in the second half of the game.

In this game, they seem to have hope of winning.

And if the Sun Devils can really be killed, it will definitely be an incentive for their performance in the next schedule, and the possibility of winning the final championship of this season's playoffs will also be greatly improved!
"Shh!"

"Bah!"

Unfortunately, 1 minute and 30 seconds before the most critical game, they were found opportunities by Lin Ri and James Harden on the defensive end, and scored goals successively.

In the last 31 seconds, the Sun Devils stabilized the point difference at 7 points and won the ball. Whether the Wildcats fouled or not, it was not good to foul. In the midst of hesitation, the last point of the game passed. The Arizona Wildcats finally fell short and lost the game by 7 points.

This is the smallest point difference they have lost against the Sun Devils this season.

They did a good enough job in this game!

But unfortunately, the victory was taken away by the Sun Devils.

"I have become more and more hesitant to participate in the draft. It seems that I should stay in the NCAA for another year. This is a very shocking thing. When you lose to the same monster one after another, you will inevitably have similar thoughts."

The Wildcats lost to the Sun Devils three times in a row. Most importantly, Jordan Hill himself lost to Lin Ri three times in a row. He even had the idea of ​​playing in the NCAA for another year.

　Brothers, good evening, I am asking for a recommendation ticket. From the reminder yesterday to now, I have found out that it’s not that the brothers don’t have tickets, but they just don’t give them to me. Is this plausible?Is it plausible?Is it plausible?
