Chapter 29 Coincidentally, I am too

“The Pac-12 hides a beast from China.”

"His name is the sun."

"Means the sun."

"And his performance on the court is indeed as bright as the sun!"

"He's a freshman with the Arizona State Sun Devils."

"Maybe you haven't heard of him, just like if you don't know about James Harden, you certainly don't know about the Arizona State Sun Devils in the Pac-12."

"But you better remember this name, because soon his story will go viral across America."

"It's also best to remember his team, the Sun Devils, because they will be the dark horse team in the new season..."

This is a short evaluation of Lin Ri and the Sun Devils in the article "A "Dark Horse" Has Appeared? There's a Beast Hidden in the Arizona State University Sun Devils!"

This is still the least "blow" section... You can imagine how Lin Ri and the Sun Devils were "blowd"!

Even if it's not "praise", it's still about the same height.

You must know that we have just played two games in the regular season, and even when this article was published, the Sun Devils had just finished their second regular season game.

Needless to say, the influence of ESPN is that when the Internet was not yet so developed, they were already one of the "three giants" of sports-related media in the United States. Now with the development of the Internet, they have also followed suit and are in the limelight.

It has faintly surpassed the TNT and others that had the same name before them, and is now launching a solid challenge to the leading position in the sports-related media industry.

Every article from this website, no matter what the content, has a considerable number of views.

Not to mention, this article comes from the daily introduction section of the NCAA section of the ESPN website, and its location is very conspicuous.

But also because of the conspicuous location and the huge number of views, all the fans who watched it were confused...the sun? Sun Devils? Dark horse?

What the hell is this!

For most fans, they know every word in this article, but they can't understand it when they are connected together. Isn't Arizona the Wildcats? When did there be another Sun Devils? The sun has come out again

What the hell is that? Where did you hang out before? How did you become a household name immediately and became famous all over the United States?

There are big question marks in the minds of these fans.

However, some fans who have an in-depth understanding of the NCAA rather than just watching "March Madness" know that Arizona not only has the Wildcats, but also a Sun Devils, but in the history of the NCAA, the honors of these two teams are not the same.

They cannot be compared, and can even be said to be "one in the sky and one on the ground." The Wildcats have been ranked among the top two in the Pacific 12 Conference all year round and are regulars in the national championship.

Before boarding, it seems that a guy named Byron Scott appeared!

What's going on?

Is this team going to be great this year?

But I haven’t heard of any super newcomers joining their team this summer!

It’s not that these fans really know so many colleges in the NCAA and know what kind of signings they have, but it’s just that there are not many decent high school students in this year’s class, if Tyreke Evans is not among them.

In other words, this year's best high school student lineup can be said to be very poor. Otherwise, next year's draft will be a small year! They are all sophomores and juniors participating in the draft. It's not that they are necessarily bad, but

Compared to rookies who participate in the draft after their freshman year, their potential and growth are definitely inferior.

For NBA general managers, the most important thing for newcomers is not immediate combat ability, but potential!

The greater the potential, the more precious it is!

This is why the No. 1 pick in 2004 was high school student Howard, not junior "Mr. Perfect" Okafor, and even though the latter won the "Rookie of the Year" at the time, beating Howard, four years later

Judging from the current stage, the Magic's selection of Howard is really a very wise choice.

Even if Howard ultimately fails to become the next Kevin Garnett as written in his scouting report, but instead becomes the first Dwyane Howard, his dominance on the defensive end is heading towards a historical level.

You can see the signs of something coming!

Therefore, the 2009 draft was destined to have few freshmen, and this draft was destined to be a "little draft year" in the eyes of many general managers.

So what's going on with the sun?

Freshman!

As bright as the sun!

What a Chinese player!

Real or fake!

Don't be the next Yi Jianlian, right?

The failed rookie season made Yi Jianlian gradually become known as the "parallel import No. 6 pick in the first round". At the same time, the successive failures of Chinese players except Yao Ming in the NBA also caused the market of Chinese players to continue to decline...

What is ESPN crazy about?

Is this the path to sensationalism?

Many fans were puzzled, but some fans went online to check the news about the Sun Devils' newcomer "the sun", and then they were stunned.

"The University of Memphis, where super freshman Tyreke Evans belongs, suffered a 26-point massacre against the Sun Devils in a warm-up match. Tyreke Evans even suffered a big block in the game."

"The Atlantic League championship candidate Wake Forest was also defeated in the warm-up match against the Sun Devils. The penalty area guarded by the Sun allowed Wake Forest's ace core Jeff Teague and super rookie Aminu to shoot.

None of them exceeded 45%, and even Aminu’s shooting percentage did not exceed 40%!”

"The sun's shooting percentage in these three warm-up games is 100%!!!"

"The Sun Devils have played two games in the regular season. In the first game, they beat Stanford by 30 points. In the second game, they beat the University of Washington by 10 points. In the two games, the Sun scored 22 points and 13 rebounds in one game.

4 blocks, and in another game I scored 20 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks.”

As fans found news about the Sun and the Sun Devils on the Internet, some fans who were not convinced at first gradually changed their attitude from surprise to consternation as they browsed the news.

Even shocked!

They probably knew why there was a post introducing the sun on ESPN's website, and the wording was so unreserved, giving all the praise to this "beast" from China.

There is really no way!

With such a performance here, it would be difficult for them to turn a blind eye!

While these fans are gradually becoming aware of the Sun, ESPN once again reported the latest news about Lin Ri. The Sun Devils' third game of the regular season had just ended. The Sun Devils once again narrowly defeated the Sun by 15 points and won 3 points.

Winning streak, this is not the most critical thing, the most critical point is the sun... He scored 31 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks in this game, shooting 70% from the field!

Because of the slow pace of the game, it is not an easy task to score high points in the NCAA. Generally speaking, any player who can score more than 40 points in a single game is enough to cause a sensation in the United States.

And scores above 30 points are not something you can just get!

But now, this freshman from China has scored 30 points in a single game in just the third game of his NCAA rookie season...

This guy...

Suddenly, most fans who were surprised that The Sun scored 30 points in a single game thought of his evaluation in the ESPN article: "His name is The Sun, which means the sun, and his performance on the court is indeed like the sun."

Dazzling!"

You’re really right!



Ever since Blake Griffin joined the University of Oklahoma last year, there has been no shortage of reporters outside the stadium. Everyone knows that this white power forward known as the "Oklahoma Rain Man" is destined to play in the future.

To be called a member of the NBA, you will also be a star-level presence in the NBA!

This guy has such potential.

It is this kind of potential that has always attracted so many media to interview him.

It’s just that Blake Griffin’s brows were furrowed when he faced reporters today.

"The Sun is said by ESPN to be a rising star in the United States in the near future. What do you think of their evaluation?"

"The Sun of the Sun Devils scored 31 points in today's game. Do you think he will pose a threat to you?"

"If you and the sun meet in the national championship, who do you think will have the last laugh?"

This is the reason why he keeps frowning, the suhe sun... The reporters who came to interview today are all talking about such a name, and he swears that he has never heard of this name before being interviewed today!

He never cared much about other classmates.

But this guy asked him to evaluate this guy he had never heard of, and asked him if this guy would pose a threat to him. Isn't this a joke?

Have these guys forgotten how to brag about him?

Is 31 points in a single game awesome?

Griffin has played 3 regular season games so far, averaging 24 points and 14 rebounds per game. In the highest game, he scored 27 points!

30 points, it’s just a question of whether he wants it or not...

If this can cause a sensation, then I can just score 30 points in the next game!

Griffin made up his mind.

Later, facing the waiting reporters, he said directly: "No matter who I am compared with, I will be the best one, there is no doubt about it!"

There was a strong sense of confidence in his tone, and what these reporters wanted was such a confident answer from him. Otherwise, how could they stir up trouble!

Also in the same situation as Griffin was Connecticut's "Mutombo II" Thabeet.

Thabeet, who was originally going to enter the draft in June this year, chose to start his third season in the NCAA because of the Connecticut head coach's words, "I want you to stay."

It can be seen from this character that this is another "Mr. Perfect"!

Connecticut is rich in "Mr. Perfect" people, such as Okafor and Thabeet.

So when he faced reporters' questions about Lin Ri, he smiled modestly: "Congratulate this guy for me. He has made a good start in the NCAA. I think he will be as successful as Yao... If

Meeting at the national championship? I think it will be a wonderful meeting, and I look forward to that day!"

The answers of these two people reached Lin Ri's ears through the mouth of reporters.

After ESPN reported on him, there were gradually more reporters outside the Arizona State University gymnasium.

After hearing Thabit's blessings, Lin Riye smiled and said: "I also hope that he will create a legendary story in the NBA like Dikembe Mutombo."
