Chapter 47

This guy is the best choice for teams that are in a sluggish market. His personal charm can make any team he plays instantly become the focus of attention!

Just like he can make the "March Madness" game field his home field.

More than 10 scouts came to this game today.

Of course, these 10 or so names are not only for Lin Ri, but also for James Harden and Tyreke Evans. After all, these are all rookies who are predicted to be ranked in the top ten in the first round, and they have already reached the stage of "March Madness".

So they all had scouts come.

In this way, the number of scouts coming for Lin Ri may be a bit small.

Well, well, not many, only three or four scouts who came for Lin Ri.

But there are still 4 or 5 general managers and deputy general managers of each team who came here for Lin Ri!

All in all, there are eight or nine teams coming here specifically for Lin Ri. If you calculate it this way, the number is really quite a lot!

You know, at the upcoming Blake Griffin game in another city, there were only eight or nine scouts and general managers who went to the game, and a few of them came to watch the game for Griffin's opponents.

Such a comparison can tell how popular Lin Ri is now!
Of course, no matter how popular it is, it is impossible to cause more than 7 fans to shout his name together. There are still many reasons for this situation to occur today.

First of all, this is Yao Ming's city, and all the fans have a kind of intimacy with Huaxia players; in addition, there are many Huaxia fans present tonight, and they have brought a lot of atmosphere...

The combination of so many reasons formed the spectacular scene where more than 7 people shouted "the sun" at the beginning.

However, Lin Ri's dunk was really powerful, otherwise, after he finished dunking, the cheers of those fans would not have become more intense.

In short, due to various reasons and Lin Ri's own "hardness", the atmosphere of the scene reached its climax from the very beginning, and all the fans were excitedly shouting "the sun".

Several general managers present today are still old faces, including Presti of the Thunder, Steve Kerr of the Suns, and Donnie Walsh of the New York Knicks.

These guys watched the "tsunami of noise" on the sidelines caused by Lin Ri.

All the fiery eyes wished to tie Lin Ri home directly.

Especially Donny Walsh, his eyes were so hot that they were about to turn green, like a wild wolf looking at his prey after starving for more than ten days. The Knicks desperately needed someone who was an "American Idol" from the beginning to save their terrible football market!

In his opinion, Lin Ri is the person they are looking for!

Larry Bird is not in the auditorium today, because today he is the broadcast guest of ESPN, Bill Wharton, Drexler and him are in the commentary booth at the moment, and he is watching the movement caused by Lin Day with a smile on his face.

After being surprised, he said bluntly: "Look, this is the movement caused by the sun. This newcomer cannot be measured by common sense. He will definitely become an amazing guy!"

His full praise for Lin Ri made Bill Wharton and Drexler beside him laugh and say nothing. They are all the same old guys. Once there is a guy who sees him right, he will definitely pour out the best words in the world, even some compliments that their wives can't hear!
Now, there is no doubt that Larry Bird sees Lin Ri right.

Of course, they must also admit that this little guy named Lin Ri is really good, but his problems are still quite big. From a professional point of view, at least he is not as good as Blake Griffin in many basic skills on the offensive end, such as ball control and post-up methods. From the perspective of past performance, especially after falling into the low post, Griffin's advantages are Lin Ri's disadvantages.

Anyway, this rookie is really perverted, but if you really want to say, he is really not the guy who must be selected in the 09 draft, or in other words, he is not the only guy who must be selected.

If Lin Ri is a must, then Griffin is also a must, at least from the current situation!
If Lin Ri wants to surpass Griffin in terms of value, judging from the current situation, he must first solve the problem of handling the ball in the low post.

When he solves this problem, he can be regarded as completely suppressing Griffin.

Can Lin Ri solve his embarrassment in the low position?

From Bill Walton and Drexler's point of view, it should be difficult, because in the playoff semifinals of the Pac-[-] Conference half a month ago, Lin Ri was severely restricted by the Arizona Wildcats in the low post, and the hit was uncomfortable. Fortunately, this guy can hold his breath, and his mentality has not changed at critical moments. Otherwise, the "second seed" of the Pac-[-] Conference may not be UCLA.

It is unrealistic to expect to make progress at a low level that is a special test of basic skills in just half a month.

Rather than expecting Lin Ri to improve in the low post, Drexler is more inclined to see Lin Ri encounter trouble in the low post again, especially, today he will face the famous NCAA coach Calipari!
Although he heard that the University of Memphis had played against the Sun Devils last year and was brutally beaten, Lin Ri was a "pure rookie" at that time.
It’s different now. Lin Ri has been in the top [-] in the Pacific for a season, and finally exposed his weakness in the low position. With Calipari’s method, maybe Lin Ri will be given a “big” meal today, making him struggle on the offensive end. Wasn’t DeAndre Jordan last year? Before "March Madness" relied on his physical fitness to run amok in his own league, "March Madness" began to expose his rough offensive skills on the offensive end, and then met Kevin Love and was directly classified as a second-round pick!

Although Lin Ri is definitely much better than DeAndre Jordan on the offensive end, his lack of ability to handle the ball in the low post is enough for him to eat a pot!
Therefore, the challenge that Lin Ri is about to face is actually just beginning. When he passes this level, he will be like real gold washed away by the waves, and then he will know how much he weighs.

Anyway, in the eyes of some of their more rational "old guys", this is the reason, but in the eyes of most of the irrational "old guys" like Larry Bird, um... Lin Ri is number one, Lin Ri is invincible in the world, I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen!
So laughing without saying a word, waiting for the development of the game to continue watching is the most harmonious way of commenting.

Of course, the two rationalists cursed in their hearts after watching Lin Ri's warm-up dunk just now: This pervert!
No way, this physical fitness is really abnormal!

They really can't do without emotion.

Then the game officially started.

Lin Ri grabbed the first strike for the Sun Devils.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

James Harden, who was holding the ball, saw that the atmosphere was still there, so he wanted to let Lin Ri perform again to make the atmosphere of the scene more like their home court.

At the same time, it can be regarded as putting some pressure on the opponent, letting them know that today is an away game for them!
It's just that while he was holding the ball forward, the University of Memphis players started to follow Lin Ri's ass, forcing him to the low post. Lin Ri ran back several times and tried to go around the three-point line, but they were blocked by them. The defensive execution of this team was much stronger than when Lin Ri met them for the first time.

Lin Ri sank to the lower position rather "helplessly".

"Sure enough, the University of Memphis has been defending against the sun's low post and lack of independent offensive ability from the very beginning." Drexler said, "As expected."

In his opinion, Lin Ri, who was forced to the bottom line, will be forced to "stealth" in the first round of the Sun Devils' offense.

It's a pity that the "home court" atmosphere is gone!
It was already very biased towards the Sun Devils.

If Lin Ri can come up and contribute some explosive dunks as usual, then the tone of the entire game tonight should have been set.

such a pity!
Calipari was too decisive in his tactics tonight, heading towards Lin Ri's weakness from the very beginning.

It's just that what happened in the next few seconds on the field made Drexler's small eyes widen...

Forced to the low post, Lin still received the ball, which was part of Calipari's overall defense against Lin's post weakness: forcing the ball from the rest of the Sun Devils into Lin's hands, stalling their entire offense.

It wasn't exactly Calipari's idea, but he figured it out from the Sun Devils' playoff semifinal against the Wildcats.

Against the Wildcats, the Sun Devils' offense always stalled when the ball got to Lindsay in the post.

Calipari believes that this time it will be the same!
But after receiving the ball in the low post, Lin Ri was not the same as usual. He stayed in the low post and didn’t know what to do. He slapped the ball very skillfully on the spot, then quickly turned around and took a step in.

The strength of the latter is not at the same level as his.

And he, who was already near the low post, took such a step in and went directly to the basket, and then Lin Ri easily forced a dunk.

"Bah!"

The basket was "bombed" by him again.

The sound of the basket bursting made Calipari's small eyes widen.

What's happening here?
Isn't this guy incapable of handling the ball when he reaches the low post?

What the hell is this smooth low action?

He was a little dazed amid the exclamation of the audience, why did Lin Ri tear up the script halfway through?
Drexler and Bill Walton were also a little surprised. They didn't expect Lin Ri to develop his low-post ability in less than half a month.

Only Larry Bird is still there, he is not surprised, his heart is actually going upside down!But the personality of "Forcing the King" made his expression always tense, and he had to comment calmly: "I said, the sun will never disappoint, he has a super high understanding!"
