ace marshal

Chapter 182

Players with historical talent may have been in the spotlight when they first emerged, maybe in high school, maybe in college.

Ohio State freshman center Greg Oden is one such player.

With a height of 2 meters and a wingspan of 13 meters, he is an absolute physical talent advantage. His huge body and terrifying wingspan can make him overwhelm the inside and make his opponent "never see the sun".

And Oden is also using his performance on the court to prove his ability.

In the first game of March Madness, Oden roiled Stanford University's inside line as soon as he came up.

Not only did it make the opponent give up the inside attack, but even the touch of the outside line was infected again and again.

On the offensive end, Oden is even more demanding. Facing a three-man double-team, he can finish a slam dunk forcefully.

"Clang~~"

Even Ohio's outside offense often has iron strikes, but Stanford's outside strikes cannot guarantee offensive rebounds and can only return to defense, but Ohio is different.

Even though Stanford's inside players stuck Oden outside the penalty area, Oden still used his height and wingspan to suppress his opponents, grabbed rebounds continuously, and grabbed offensive rebounds under the siege of everyone.

"Damn it, you're too much of a bully~!"

The defensive player couldn't bear it anymore, and directly wanted to use his hands to drag Oden's tip-up down.

"Beep~~~"

Seeing this, the referee immediately blew his whistle.

However, Oden's core strength and waist and abdomen strength are indeed too strong. Oden directly pulls the player who wants to pull himself down. up.

"Clang~, clang, brush~~"

The soft touch made the ball bounce on the basket twice, but it still scored.

"Even such a destructive foul, can't stop Oden~!? My God, I'm more and more suspicious that this guy changed his age to participate in the game~~"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

"Brush~~"

With the extra penalty hit, Ohio is already leading by double digits. As the game progresses, as long as Oden stays on the court, I believe the point difference will get bigger and bigger~! !
"Let's go~, Stanford~!!!"

"Let's go~, Stanford~!!!"

Although the team is currently quite passive, the fans are still cheering for the home team. After all, this is March Madness, and this is a place where miracles can be created~~
While speaking, Ohio's offensive struck again.

This time it was replaced with a pick-and-roll tactic from inside and outside.

I saw Mike Conley, who was holding the ball on the outside, and Oden started a pick-and-roll.

Oden's huge body coverage area allows him to easily complete high-quality pick-and-rolls.

Just when the defensive players thought that Oden would go down the inside after the pick-and-roll, Oden suddenly opened up the space laterally, creating a route for Conley to break through.

At this time, the defensive players no longer cared about Oden, but shrank their defense together to block Conley's breakthrough.

"What, sent it back~!?"

But just as Conley was about to hit the crowd, the defenders exclaimed.

Conley flicked his wrist directly and passed the ball back to Oden who was standing near the free throw line and was unmarked.

"Could this guy know the middle distance~!?"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli became suspicious.

I saw Oden, who was holding the ball, staring at the basket very intently, and adopted a "upside down shot" method to throw the ball.

"Brush~~"

The ball is again hollow into the net.

Oden showed everyone another skill in his arsenal -- mid-range shooting.

"My God, if this guy makes a three-pointer later, I'm afraid I won't be surprised~~"

Lan Shengli shook his head in amazement.

"Actually, Oden's ability to perform so well has a lot to do with the perimeter freshman Mike Conley. Conley is a very, very stable player with a strong sense of team and strict tactics and discipline. , the assist-to-turnover ratio is also very high, although his athletic ability is not very outstanding, he is still a very strong defender~~”

Brooks, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly analyzed.

"According to your analysis, this Conley seems to be very suitable to play under the old Dunleavy~!!"

Lan Shengli felt emotional.

"Yeah, even if Oden can't be selected, it would be great if Conley can be selected, but I am afraid that judging from the current market situation of Conley, it is difficult to fall to the position of around 14th overall~~"

Brooks continued to sigh.

Under Oden and Conley's internal and external tandem, Ohio State University has always maintained the lead. Even though Oden and Conley had been on the sidelines in the second half, it did not prevent the team from winning a big away game.

Oden scored 27 points, 16 rebounds, and 7 blocks at the dominant level, while Conley also scored 12 points, 8 assists, and only one turnover.

It is already a very good experience for Stanford to be able to compete with such a strong player.

And Ohio State University will also launch an impact with the goal of the final four.

"Mr. Brooks, where are you going in such a hurry~!?"

As soon as the game ended, Brooks quickly got up and left the seat. Seeing this, Lan Shengli asked.

"Go to the post-match press conference, hurry~!"

Brooks said, trotting up.

"Coming~!!"

When Lan Shengli heard about it, he rushed out immediately and followed closely.

Although the post-match press conference will take 15 minutes to start, the reporters have already taken up their seats, and the hall, which can accommodate about 100 people, is twice as crowded.

Maybe everyone has too many questions to ask Oden.

Although Lan Shengli and Brooks didn't get a seat, they still stood near a not very crowded aisle.

Soon, the leaders of the two major teams, Oden and Conley, sat in front of everyone, and the press conference was about to begin.

"Listen to a player's post-match interview, and you will be able to know what their emotional intelligence is like. A top superstar must not only have a first-class golf intelligence, but also have a strong emotional intelligence~~"

Brooks sighed.

"I would like to ask Oden, many people say that you are the next O'Neal, and they often compare you with a series of legendary centers, what do you think about this~!?"

The press conference has already started, and the first question is very sharp.

"I am not O'Neal, we are not the same type of players, he is great, he may be a member of the Hall of Famer in the future, but I am not him, my current achievements cannot be compared with those familiar legends, what I have to do There are too many~~”

Auden was very low-key and spoke in a very humble tone.

"However, I will start a new era~!!"
