Chapter 71 The Sound of "the Sun" Resounds Again
After 3 minutes, the first half ended.

For Thabeet, he finally got a chance to breathe.

Of course, this respite is a little short, and after the respite, he will face another 20 minutes of "torture".

Lin Ri was really cruel, and after seeing that his chassis was unstable, he kept hitting him in the low position, but he really couldn't do anything about it. His skills were all focused on his movement speed, and the chassis was something he hadn't had time to practice. Besides, with his height, if he trained his chassis to be stable, how could he have the current movement speed?

It’s also Thabeet’s own fault that James Harden didn’t dare to rush inside, only dared to shoot from the outside, and his partner Stanley Robinson had a wide defensive range, and there was no shot position within the three-point line that he couldn’t delay, forcing the Sun Devils to always rush outside shots.

Under such circumstances, someone must go inside to grab rebounds.

Who else can I entrust this important task to?
It must be Lin Ri!

Therefore, Lin Ri had no choice but to grab rebounds with Thabeet. Otherwise, Lin Ri wouldn't have to bite the bullet and go to the inside to find Thabeet's trouble. With his big and thick appearance, and his height and wingspan, isn't it all right to compete with him inside?
Take a look at how the "Rocket" Jazz arranged for Yao Ming back then?
Just take Okur and shoot three-pointers floating on the outside. In this way, the advantage of height is gone, and the disadvantage of speed is reflected.

Lin Ri had always thought the same way. He really didn't want to compete with Thabeet on the inside.

However, after biting the bullet and entering the inside line, Lin Ri just wanted to shout "It's really fragrant", and Thabeet's chassis is so unstable!

Then why can't Lin Ri do a good job of dominating the low position?

There is no other reason, the main reason is that Thabeet, who hit 2 meters 21, pushed him away and dunked him, it felt really cool!
O'Neill's happiness, he experienced it and couldn't stop at all.

Therefore, in the last 3 minutes of the first half, he hit Thabeet in the low post 4 times in a row, and every time he pushed Thabeet upside down.

Thabeet's mountain-like figure looks like a large inflatable doll swaying in the wind, and it will fall if touched.

A group of Memphis fans in the auditorium off the court were collectively dumbfounded when Thabeet was ravaged. They, who had already been "in the mood for spring", now felt that the sky was "dark".

What the hell is this?
Will he be able to keep the Grizzlies inside in the future?

Return, return, return now!
That old guy Chris Wallace is just unreliable. He sent the team's ace core to the Lakers in exchange for such a bunch of junk, and now he wants to choose such a fancy and useless guy to waste the spot!

No, this marriage, ah, no, no one can choose Thabeet in this draft, which is clearly a scam!
Well, no, still no, wrong!
If the draft doesn't select the sun to Memphis, then don't blame us for falling out!
During a short intermission, the Memphis fans collectively "rebelled".

Some things cannot be thought about carefully, and the more you think about it, the more you will get angry. For example, if you really choose Thabeet in this year's draft...

There are also some things that you can't think about carefully, which will lead to wanting more and more... just like the sun right now!

The Sun Devils finally scored 34 to 24 in the first half, and Lin Ri scored 13 points alone, the guy with the highest score in the game.

His destructive power around the basket makes Thabeet a complete foil!

It also made the Memphis fans who came here for Thabeet tonight start greedy for his body!
"the sun!"

"the sun!"

"the sun!"

I don't know if a fan in the auditorium used his mobile phone to find information about Lin Ri, probably because he saw the news that Lin Ri's cheers would ring out in the auditorium before every game.

Anyway, it was quite sudden... One and a half minutes before the start of the second half of the game, there was a burst of shouts of "the sun" from small to loud in the auditorium of the entire Memphis Pyramid Stadium.

Lin Ri, who was drinking Gatorade, was taken aback by the cheers, and he instinctively stood up, turned around and waved, responding to the Memphis fans in the auditorium.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the Gatorade he was still smoking, put it down quickly, and then showed a shy smile.

This appearance made the Memphis fans who were cheering collectively off the field laugh.

Especially those female fans, one by one, they were thinking: Why are they so cute?Uh... Beauty is in the eye of beholders, Lin Ri is now in their eyes, probably a fart is delicious.

Jeff cast envious eyes, the sun is so charming!Hey, it's really incomparable, but in the future, if I say it, I used to be teammates with him in college, which is enough to brag about!

Jeff felt that his life experience was suddenly several grades higher than others.

Thabeet, who gradually regained his confidence under the guidance of Jim Cajon, was dumbfounded at the moment, and the mentality that had just recovered a little bit collapsed before he had time to face the ravages of Lin Ri in the second half.

Before the game, his agent-to-be also called him and said that he had reached a verbal agreement with Chris Wallace. If there is no accident, he can report to the Grizzlies directly after the end of "March Madness".

In other words, he will be selected by at least the top 4!

Originally, he himself was quite confident, especially when he felt the welcome of the Memphis fans before the game, he was even more confident that he would be selected with a high pick, and then start his career with the Memphis Grizzlies.

But now...

He looked at the fans shouting Lin Ri, how could he be confident?

The original bright future suddenly dimmed, so how could his mentality not be a problem?
Not to mention Thabeet, even those mature NBA stars will have some ups and downs in their hearts after seeing their home court become someone else's new home court.

It's just that some stars can turn these into motivating factors.

That's why they can become stars.

Thabeet is clearly not at that level yet.

The Memphis fans at the scene cheered for Lin Ri before the start of the second half, which made him a little impatient in the second half.

He was eager to prove himself.

But this became a loophole for Lin Ri to break through him.

Jim Calhoun was already thinking about Thabeet's mentality. He specially arranged for Robinson to defend him in the second half, but Thabeet's impatience made Lin Ri find opportunities again and again. Connecticut's inside line was frequently broken by Lin Ri just like the last few minutes of the first half.

The point difference once reached more than 17 points.

When Thabeet realized that he still had teammates to rely on, the Sun Devils led by more than 20 points.

At this time, there are still as long as 5 minutes before the end of the game.

However, these 5 minutes have become garbage time.

The entire Connecticut crew struggled through the five minutes.

Especially Thabeet, he felt 2 times, 3 times or even 4 times more suffering than his teammates!
Because the atmosphere at the scene was so high, every attack of Lin Ri could cause huge cheers, and every cheer was like a needle piercing Thabeet's heart.

Do you really not love me?
In the end, amid the endless cheers from the audience, the Sun Devils beat Connecticut by 25 points. Jim Calhoun and Thabeet all showed a bitter smile when the final whistle sounded.

Jim Calhoun, who has served as the head coach in Connecticut for more than [-] years, naturally does not want to see his team lose in such a useless manner in the NCAA semifinals, but he has no power to do so.

Thabeet's wry smile is the helplessness and bitterness of watching the "women" who loved him so much go away.

He knew that the city no longer loved him.

What's worse is that after a game, his originally bright future will also become gloomy.

He only scored 10 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks after the game. It looks good, but compared with Lin Ri's 24 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks, the gap is really obvious.

And as many as 24 of Lin Ri's 14 points in this game were scored against him.

When Lin Ri got the ball in the low post, there was nothing he could do to limit him.

This will become his weakness, and it will be infinitely magnified by those draft experts after the game!

At this time, he couldn't help but think of two people - one was DeAndre Jordan last season, and the other was Jordan Hill of this year's Pacific Twelve League... For some reason, he felt that it was necessary to ask these two guys for advice.

It's so sympathetic.

"We want the sun, we don't need Hashem Thabit!"

"Chris, what you should do now is to pursue the No. [-] pick. Yes, you should do this, because the sun is obviously a better choice!"

"You should know, Mr. Chris Wallace, now is your best chance to become the best general manager, and it is also a very easy opportunity to grasp. Let the Grizzlies continue to lose, and then get the No. [-] pick. Sign the Sun with the No. [-] pick. It's that simple!"

In fact, the situation facing Thabeet is much worse than he himself imagined.

Immediately after the game ended, Grizzlies fans ran to the Twitter of Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace, arguing that Chris Wallace must win the No. [-] pick, and then select the sun. His name was hardly mentioned in it.

After that, a group of draft experts stood up one by one, bluntly saying, "Hashim Thabeet is overestimated. He is not good enough to become the next Mutombo. His draft market should not be so optimistic!"

In the end, Chris Wallace, the general manager of the Grizzlies, said: "We will look for players who are more suitable for us. This will never change!"

This is the first time that Wallace has not talked about Thabeet in the past two months. Obviously, Chris Wallace is no longer so firm about choosing Thabeet.

It was also his words. In the latest predictions of major draft websites, Hashem Thabeet's name did not appear until No.12 in the first round.

This looks like it's about to fall out of the lottery!
At the same time, in the latest draft predictions of major websites, the name of the first pick in the first round suddenly changed to: Lin Ri!
