The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

Chapter 101 The second battle in Georgetown, Roy Hibbert's ambition

After the game, Zuo Li responded to all the doubts about them before the game with a strong voice.

Anyway, the ESPN guest commentator Morrison has lost his language ability. After watching the whole game, he can only say that Zuo Li and Curry are too strong, and their cooperation is too tacit. It doesn't look like there is any difference.

And after this game, Davidson also returned to the top 40 after 32 years. The last time was back in 1969, so you can imagine how happy the whole town of Davidson is.

After getting off the plane and taking the bus back to Davidson College, Zuo Li was surrounded by excited students and their parents. Flowers, beer, and the way Americans celebrate is really not covered. The whole town is like New Year’s Eve Normally, even the headmaster personally came to greet them, and when he held Zuo Li's hand, he thanked Zuo Li loudly for choosing his school.

Zuo Li naturally expressed modestly that this is only the beginning, they will continue to move forward, and the ultimate goal is to reach the final semi-finals and even win the championship.

If it was done in China, it would be polite, but obviously, they all believed it, so the celebration became more intense.

After all, since Zuo Li made his debut, he has followed the law in what he says, and he must do what he says. He has not failed to do it several times in public. After so long, many people have almost regarded what Zuo Li said as the bible. This is not the crowd celebrating Many people in the stadium held a slogan made of Zuo Li's post-match interview - 'Now you should know Davidson'.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Li patted his forehead, really, you are all academic masters, why are you still superstitious about feudalism?

However, Zuo Li also likes this kind of atmosphere very much. The whole school and the residents of the small town are celebrating for the victory.

This kind of enthusiasm has also infected the team. Usually only Zuo Li and Curry will practice extra, but this time, everyone stays for extra practice, and some people come to school with laptops from home, just to show the team the next few days. It is used for an important game, you must know that this era is a rare item, it can be seen that everyone has really been mobilized.

In the next 3 days, Davidson’s life suddenly became hot-blooded, with high enthusiasm for training, staying up late at night to analyze opponents, and even a girl who gave love bento every day. Although all hamburgers were consumed by Curry, this still made Zuo Li Suddenly, I felt a little bit like watching the hot-blooded sports series of later generations.

But March Madness soon showed his cruel side. On March 3, the first round of games was finished, and 27 teams went home at the same time. According to the proportion of the top 32 selected from more than 1000 universities, cruel The extent is evident.

And many good players finally put away the slack in the divisional competition and came up with real things one after another. The most eye-catching one is naturally the favorite North Carolina, and they have indeed become the most popular team in the first round. It was broken, and North Carolina beat St. Marys with 39 points, and the field goal percentage was 60.6%, and the rebounds were 46:16. 15 of the 14 players scored.

The team's core Hansbrough and Lawson both scored 21 points.

Kansas State, led by Beasley, and USC, led by Mayo, are the favorites for the No. It seems that the difference is not big, but Mayo's cowardly match at a critical moment and the reversal of USC's lead made his draft predictions directly overtaken by Beasley.

This is also the cruelty of March Madness. A game sometimes determines not just a moment, but a player's entire career.

As for the upset, Thabeet and Adrian, who had the inside double towers, lost to San Diego by 1 point in the first round. Thabeet made 10 of 5 shots, scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks, and Adrian scored 18 points. With 12 rebounds, this team was a big favorite before the game. Thabeet was even known as a monster with the same talent as Zuo Li, but he still lost. This made many people who expected Thabeet to have a chance to stage a duel with Zuo Li sad. endlessly.

But the regret can be made up for. Soon, the next opponent of Davidson College will be released. Georgetown University defeated UMBC to enter the top 32 and become Davidson's opponent in the next round.

This result is not surprising, but it also distressed many people who like Davidson, because this time the opponent is even more difficult to deal with than Gonzaga in the first round. After all, Georgetown is the second seed in the NCAA division this year. Season 27 With 5 wins and [-] losses, Princeton's style also makes them unique in the NCAA.

Many people even felt that Zuo Li's real test was coming.

Because the core of Georgetown University is the black and hard inside, the defensive champion, Roy Hibbert!

Hibbert is 218 centimeters tall and weighs 122 kilograms. In the NCAA where there is no defense for three seconds, it is an absolute inside weapon. Although the speed is not dominant when facing the upper left, the height and weight are a complete advantage. Most importantly, His defensive ability is excellent, much better than the insiders Zuo Li encountered before, so many media commented after the matchup: Zuo Li's real test is coming.

ESPN is even more blunt: "Zuo Li has never met such a guy since his debut. To a certain extent, whether he can get a bargain from Hibbert is related to Zuo Li's final pick."

This is true. If Zuo Li is restricted by Hibbert this time, it will definitely affect his status in the eyes of NBA scouts. After all, although Hibbert has good conditions, this condition is not unavailable in the NBA. NBA insiders are more powerful, and Zuo Li can't pass this test, which means that Zuo Li is not as amazing as the legend says.

Of course, in the same way, as long as Zuo Li still shows his bravery, even if he is only slightly affected, Zuo Li's evaluation will be higher.

In their view, this time the confrontation is an opportunity and a crisis coexisting.

That's right, that's what Hibbert thought. After learning that Davidson was going to be played in the next game, Hibbert was so excited that he lost sleep.

Because he knew that his chance was finally coming.

Although Jeff Green, the big brother of the team, has entered the NBA this season, he has naturally become the core of Georgetown, but his attention is not high, and the outside world's evaluation of him is only an average team. The first 15, then, gone.

This is definitely a blow to Hibbert, who is determined to become Ewing. As a New Yorker, his dream is to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor Ewing and lead Georgetown to the second NCAA championship in team history. Then he became the No. [-] pick and entered the NBA.

But dreams and reality are vividly reflected in him, not to mention super seniors from the same school like Ewing and Iverson, and even among his peers, there are two insiders who have received more attention than him.

Just like the one in the joke, "Hibert, don't underestimate yourself. The only ones who are better than you are Oden, Zuo Li, Griffin, Thabeet, and the Lopez brothers..."

SHIT!

Hibbert vowed to prove himself. Last year, he was beaten by Oden in the NCAA semifinals and lost. This year, he made every effort to prove himself again.

Zuo Li is his best chance!
