Chapter 51 The highly anticipated showdown

"Arizona State University's Sun Devils broke history and became the top 12 teams in the NCAA this season"

"23 points and 12 rebounds, the sun is dominant in the low post, what else can he not do! "

"Eliminate Tyreke Evans, the sun and James Harden advance to the next round!" "

……

After the game, a number of media, including ESPN and other well-known media, reported on the game, and reported on the game from multiple levels and perspectives.

Of course, with regard to the popularity of the sun and James Harden, such exposure is a must.

Especially the sun!

In this game alone, he attracted eight or nine scouts and the general manager of the team. Judging from the attractiveness of the guys in the NBA, he has even surpassed Griffin.

In the Oklahoma game played on the same day as Lin Ri, there were only 7 scouts and team general managers on the scene...

Unknowingly, Lin Ri's attraction to the guys in the NBA has quietly surpassed that of Griffin!

Judging from the results after watching this game, the general manager of the sun and the scouts who chose to see the sun should not regret their choice, because the sun played his usual performance in this game.

At the same time, he also brought a new "surprise".

Before the start of "March Madness", his inability to hold the ball was his revealed weakness.

In this battle, although he still didn't perform well with the ball in the high post, he was no longer at a loss after holding the ball in the low post. In the battle against Memphis, he made 8 of 6 shots in the low post, but he did not hesitate in any 1v1 ball.

An inside player who can run, jump, pick-and-roll, and mid-range shot is already a treasure. Now that this treasure has also shown his low-post singles ability, it is even more of a treasure among treasures.

"I am very optimistic about the sun. Not only will he succeed in the NCAA, he will also succeed in the NBA. He has such talent and ability!"

"The scariest thing is not what this guy has now, but that this guy will always come up with new ones. How can such a guy with endless talent and imagination not make people's hearts flutter?"

"The sun is definitely the biggest surprise of the NCAA this year, there is nothing to say!"

This is what Bill Walton, Drexler, and Larry Bird on the commentary stand expressed emotion to the camera after the game. The rational ESPN commentators Bill Walton and Drexler were no longer "rational" about Lin Ri after the game, but full of incredible emotion.

Larry Bird is as "forced" as ever-with a look of "I knew this guy was so awesome" on his face.But in fact, my heart has been churning for a long time: awesome, what a fucking awesome, awesome explosion!

In addition to these old faces, Yao Ming was also caught by reporters who were on the spot and was forced to express his views on Lin Ri. This was the first time he talked about a topic related to Lin Ri. Although some media asked him about Lin Ri before, he changed the subject. This time he was bumped into by reporters after Lin Ri's game. The path he chose can be regarded as finding another path to the NBA for Chinese players, he is great, very good!"

Yao Ming gave a very high evaluation.

In fact, after Yi Jianlian failed to adapt to the NBA, the domestic media in China, including these old players such as Yao Ming, seldom commented on young players in public. They dared not praise any young players, but gave them some room for growth.

Not everyone is able to turn stress into motivation.

But now, after Lin Ri has adapted for a season, and has indeed played out, then Yao Ming has nothing to worry about, and directly speaks out what is in his heart.

In his opinion, Lin Ri is different from the Chinese players. This not only refers to his playing style, but also includes the path he chooses. If he succeeds in the draft, he will be the first player to enter the NBA through the NCAA!
There is no doubt that this is an attempt. If Lin Ri finally enters the NBA and also performs in the NBA, then this path will be another choice for Chinese players to enter the NBA!

To be honest, this is an amazing thing.

This is also the basis for Yao Ming to appreciate Lin Ri.

He is very familiar with the domestic youth training system. As long as Lin Ri's talent is willing, he may have been selected by the youth training team, and after years of training, he will eventually enter the CBA through the youth training team. After performing well, he can also enter the NBA.

This is how Yao Ming and his group entered the NBA.

But he didn't, he took a path that his predecessors walked but failed to follow.

Really... great!

Yao Ming's high evaluation of Lin Ri did not cause much repercussions in the United States. In the United States, there are many people who praise Lin Ri fiercely. As Lin Ri's Chinese compatriot, Yao Ming's evaluation of him will be more special, but compared to Larry Bird and others, Yao Ming must have received less attention.

The same is true.

Therefore, Yao Ming's evaluation has aroused even greater repercussions in China.

Moreover, Zhang Weiping and Xu Jicheng were there, and the evaluation they got from Yao Ming about Lin Ri was not just a few words. They did a half-hour-long interview, and Yao Ming was more willing to speak to Chinese people. During the entire interview process, they also made some guesses about Lin Ri's future play style in the NBA.

The three of them only talked about this one topic, laughing frequently.

Lin Ri's talents shown now, as well as his future, really have a beautiful portrait.

It's just that when the few of them were chatting, the discussion on the American Internet changed in an instant...

Because the University of Oklahoma also won!

Their victory means that Griffin and Lin Ri will officially meet in the round of 32 to enter the round of 16.

This is Blake Griffin and Lin Day!
One is the wild power forward who has been selected by countless experts as the "No. 09 pick in the [-] draft" since the beginning of the season. His violent attack is his trademark, and his passionate dunks and strong physical fitness all make people think of Sean Kemp, the "Rain Man" of the Supersonic Speed!
Another one is even more legendary!
Until the start of this season, NBA teams had no information about him, he had never played in American high school leagues, and he had never appeared in any international competitions, but in just two or three months, this guy and his school, from being unknown to well-known in the United States, have appeared in ESPN columns many times, and ESPN also recognized him as "a guy with a dazzling presence on the court"!
The same gorgeous playing style, but a more comprehensive ability than Griffin, allowed him to break into the top ten in the first round from the predictions of major draft websites in just a few months, and this is far from his limit!
How could such a meeting of two guys not attract a lot of attention?

In addition, there were some small beefs between the two of them before: Griffin once said to reporters that no matter who he was compared with, he was the better one. Since then, Lin Ri has responded to his words, and Lin Ri also thinks that he is the best guy!

The same students, the same position, the same playing style, and the same outstanding physical fitness, there is a beef between the two... Just this script, you say, how can it not arouse the expectations of the fans?

In fact, within half an hour after the news of the promotion from the University of Oklahoma officially spread, all the media stopped talking about the performance of these two guys in their respective rounds of 64 and 32. What they talked about directly turned into expectations for the performance of these two guys!
It can be said that although this game is only from the top 32 to the top 16, but only speaking of the fans' sense of expectation, I am afraid that it will be almost the same as this year's NCAA finals.

If it is for the general managers of those NBA teams, I am afraid that even this year's finals will not be more attractive to them than this game.

Which of them is the better one... Maybe this game will give the answer!
While all the fans were looking forward to this battle, Thabeet was also asked about his views on the encounter between these two people on the "March Madness" stage.

In the 09 draft, there were only three inside monsters, except for Griffin and Lin Ri, and Thabeet was the rest.

"I'm looking forward to this game, I will watch the whole thing." There was no game in Connecticut that day, and Thabeet was able to watch the game.

"Who do you think will win? Or who do you expect to win more?" The reporter asked another question, but this question was obviously full of pitfalls.

"I look forward to playing against both of them once." But Thabeet, who has been in the NCAA for three years, is so easy to get hooked.

"And..." Thabeet paused for a moment. He wanted to say that no matter which one of them wins, they will face the University of Michigan in the quarterfinals. Although Michigan doesn't have any good draft prospects, their overall strength is very strong. The five starters are all top players in the NCAA. It's just that various reasons have affected their path to higher-level leagues. But in the NCAA, no matter which team meets them, it will be difficult to deal with, including Thabeet, and he has no confidence in defeating this team!
In his opinion, if the Sun Devils and Oklahoma meet, it may be difficult to defeat them.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was a bit inappropriate for him to say this. He had no malicious intentions, and it was hard to guarantee that the media would not help him generate any malicious intentions, so he changed his words: "In short, I am looking forward to this game!"

While Thabeet's interview was reported by the media, buses from Arizona State University and Oklahoma City also arrived at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas.

The much-anticipated duel between Lin Ri and Griffin will start here!
