Chapter 26

"We're going to get him, I'm going to keep him in Indiana!" Larry Bird yelled at his assistant, the number one small forward in history saw the light emanating from Anson.

His assistant was a young white man, and he said hesitantly, "Mr. Larry, I'm afraid we won't be able to sign him in the second round. His lowest predicted pick is also at the end of the first round."

"My God, who said I'm going to use a second-round pick? He certainly deserves a first-round pick." Larry Bird suddenly felt that his decision to promise his old friend to bring this little guy into the management team was stupid. In this competition, can't he see who is the most shining person?
"This year we are a lottery pick. We can get better players with this pick!" The young assistant still didn't understand why he had to use a lottery pick to choose a Chinese. "His highest draft prediction is no more than It's only close to the top 20, so there's absolutely no need for us to pick him with a lottery pick! Gordon, the core of the Bulldogs, should be one of our choices, right?"

The Pacers have been far away from the main team in the playoffs this season. Although their swingman Danny Granger still performed well, the weakness of other positions has allowed the Pacers to get this season. 30 wins is a problem.

Larry Bird shook his head, obviously he had no hope for the young man in front of him and said: "Do you think he is still the core of Bulldog now? There is no doubt that China An is indispensable for Bulldog now The missing person, he is only 19 years old, and his future is bright! According to the pick we may get, no matter what position, I will take him!" After finishing speaking, he motioned to continue watching the game. At the moment, I just hope that other managements have not discovered this piece of jade!
Two consecutive steals finally made Nolan Smith feel the oppressiveness of the "Chinese mascot" defense in front of him. With his height, wingspan, and speed all overwhelmed, coupled with his miraculous ability to predict, Nolan Smith was The guy in front of him is very difficult to defend even if he hits the ball.

"Pick-and-roll, pick-and-roll!" Coach K roared off the court, not because he didn't believe in the abilities of his players, but because his players rarely had one-on-one players. Their team was more like a machine, but Once the core of this machine is seen to be dead, then the operation of this machine will become extremely difficult.

Brian Zubeck, a big white man, is very effective in the pick-and-roll. His tall and strong body is like a wall blocking the breakthrough route of Anson and Nolan Smith. Nolan Smith rushed in directly. This breakthrough It seemed very tough, directly squeezed Matt Howard and went inside.

But his mediocre physical fitness made him not confident in the end of this ball. Matt Howard showed a smile on his face, come on, kid, let you see Uncle Matt's big hat, today he met on the offensive end Matt Howard, who had no room for Brian Zubeck, decided to devote all his strength to the defensive end.

Anson was originally at the top of the arc to prevent Brian Zubeck from going down, but he didn't do anything. Instead, Kyle Singler on the other side went inside under Lance Thomas' off-ball cover.

Nolan Smith made a direct pass to Kyle Singler, who was coming down. In this game, Anson was guarded and had almost no chance to make a move.

Then, before the end of the first half, Hayward and Hayward were even worse off each other in offense and defense. So far, they only scored 9 points and have not yet reached double figures.

After receiving the ball, he took off directly, but this time he was not the only one who took off. An Sheng, who came from the top of the arc to make up for the ball, took off directly at the same time. Press the ball directly.

"Fucking basketball dreams, Kyle failed this time, whether he was facing Ann or Gordon, he was completely blown away!" Reggie Miller couldn't restrain himself when he saw this block His body stood up directly.

Kyle Singler was a little dazed, he was given a peg board by the opposite side?He can already predict what the scouts on the scene will say about him.

"Without physical fitness, this speed, this bounce is difficult to mix in the NBA! His shooting is accurate? Please, what we need is a player with accurate shooting under confrontation."

"Physical confrontation is not enough! A body as weak as his can't stand the ravages in the NBA."

Anson, who had successfully blocked the shot, grabbed the basketball and gave it directly to Shelvin Mark, but Duke retreated quickly this time.The two consecutive steals by An Sheng just now are still vivid in my memory, and the counterattack on the opposite side is very fast.

In three consecutive rounds, Anson scored two steals and one block. This performance is simply crazy.

The defense drives the offense. The Bulldogs still played very well in the offensive position. Shelvin Mack made an open three-pointer. The basketball hit the front of the basket, but fell into the basket when it flew up and fell behind. !equalize!This lucky goal equalized the score.

Crazy, crazy, at the beginning of the second half, an 8:0 was given to the Blue Devils.From the blue veins exposed on the old K's hands clenched on the tactical board, you can completely imagine how angry the head coach of the American men's basketball team and Duke Blue Devils is now. Although he is very angry, he still sensibly called out immediately Pause, the bulldogs are on the move.

"Nolan, do you know that you are like a clown in front of that Chinese? Your passes are weaker and weaker than the last. Are you telling him, buddy, come and break my ball, I can give it to you!"

After educating Nolan Smith, his conversation turned to Kyle Schindler: "Why do you want to dunk and not lay up? Do you think you can jump well? Don't you think you are participating in the dunk contest now? The scouts applaud you after you're done? They want to see your performance, not your mediocre physical fitness."

For almost the entire timeout, Coach K did not discuss any tactics with his players. He wanted to scold the group of guys in front of him more. Of course, when he remembered the last signal, he did not forget to remind the players One line: "Dodge that guy while attacking!"

It can also be seen from this sentence that the old coach K may really be convinced by the Chinese boy on the field.

Of course, Larry Bird was not very happy about this matter. He had a premonition that through this NCAA finals, Anson's strong physical fitness had entered the vision of all the management, and he wanted to express it in a muffled voice. The idea of ​​great wealth may not be realized.
