Chapter 30 15 wins and 0 losses
"Did the Sun announce that he will participate in the draft after this season? Are you sure he really said that... Well, I saw the news about ESPN interviewing him, and he did say that... OK, let me think about it again.
Think about it, this is it for now, don’t rush, we still have some time to think about it, although I haven’t made up my mind, but you can regard this period as a testing period for the sun. If there is any new progress, please continue to call me.
,I look forward to hearing better news!”
ESPN's report on The Sun has set off the entire American basketball fan circle. Most fans have shown a strong interest in this Chinese star who came out of nowhere and was highly praised by ESPN.
The general managers of NBA teams are interested in this news differently. They are more concerned about the last question of ESPN's interview with Lin Ri. Although there are more and more rookies who use the NCAA as a springboard to play for only one year.
There are many, but if participating in the draft is not said by the players themselves, then any possibility will happen. Just like James Harden and Thabeet, if based on their performance last year, they actually already have a lot of talent.
Bright prospects, but in the end neither of them appeared on the list of the 2008 draft!
This means that as long as the cooked duck has not been eaten, it may fly away.
Lin Ri has now announced that he will participate in the draft. Although he may not definitely participate in the draft in the end, it is at least a signal that this guy will have the intention to participate in the draft after this season!
That’s it!
For these general managers who are already interested in Lin Ri, this is news that can make them determined to do something.
Just like Suns general manager Steve Kerr...
Judging from his exchange with Fagan, it seems that this guy hasn't really made up his mind yet, but in fact he has already planned to give up this season.
The NBA 08~09 season has been played for almost a month so far. In this month, the Suns' record is not very good, only ranked 11th in the Western Conference. O'Neal, Stoudemire and Nash are running into each other.
There has never been a good chemical reaction. More importantly, Steve Nash was injured in the game a few days ago and it is uncertain when he will return. This made Cole determined to rebuild and strive for the top five or even the top spot.
The sign of three.
It's just that he is a little hesitant now. He still can't bear to part with Davidson University's Stephen Curry. In the three games played so far, this junior shooter has averaged 29 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.6 steals per game, leading the league in scoring.
There is no guy in the entire NCAA Division I league who can average more points per game than him. Whether it's Oklahoma's "White Rain Man" or James Harden and the Sun of the Sun Devils, their scoring momentum can't compare to this one.
A somewhat weak super shooter.
It's not that Cole has been reluctant to let go of this guy because of his strong scoring momentum. What he really values is Stephen Curry's three-point shooting ability.
Kerr is optimistic that the three-point shot will become more important in the league's tactics in the future.
He believes that three-pointers can change the league and cause a "three-point craze"!
And Stephen Curry will become the guy who transcends the era. His feeling of shooting three-pointers is something that all shooters don't have. He really doesn't want to give up on Stephen Curry.
It can be said that even Griffin and Thabeet are not as important as Stephen Curry in Kerr's eyes.
The first two may grow into future All-Stars in the league, and Griffin may even reach a quasi-super giant level, but this level is still not comparable to the "epoch-making" Stephen Curry!
But the problem now is that another super talent has appeared in the NCAA, a super famous coach from the University of Memphis. Calipari, the head coach who has just trained the No. 1 pick, described this guy as "Amar'e Stoudemire and Dennis Rowe."
A combination of German and German, and judging from his overall performance so far, the upper limit may be much higher!
He may have all the advantages of Stoudemire and Rodman without any of their shortcomings!
He has the same explosive physical fitness as Stoudemire, a soft mid-range shooting touch, and a terrifying ability to get up at the basket, but unlike Stoudemire, he has no performance on the defensive end, and may even become a defensive weakness when he is not very motivated.
He has Rodman's speed and fighting spirit, but he doesn't have Rodman's off-court troubles, and his height is better than Rodman's!
How could such an inside player be missed?
Moreover, the Suns were the first team to track and observe Lin Ri. From the initial report to the current report, one scout report after another vividly demonstrated Lin Ri’s progress during this period, and he is still 19 years old.
More than 1 month...
This is absolute genius!
He is a genius to the point where any general manager would look at him with suspicion.
Including Cole, his interest in Lin Ri has been growing, but he can't let go of Stephen Curry.
Is there any way to include these two guys together?
A bold idea suddenly appeared in Cole's mind. After thinking for a long time, he decided to give it a try. Although he also knew that it would be difficult, with Stephen's performance, it would not be difficult to enter the top 10 of the draft next summer. ESPN broke the news
Afterwards, the attention received by The Sun is also rising sharply. If he continues his current performance, his final draft prospect may be higher than Stephen Curry, and he may be in the top 7, top 5 or even top 3...
It’s not easy!
Cole muttered with embarrassment, but since he already had this idea, he had to give it a try!
Stephen Curry, and the Sun, he really couldn't bear to part with either of them!
…
Big 12 Conference.
Oklahoma continues to usher in their next regular season game. Due to the large gap between their opponents and their strength, it was unanimously believed before the game that "the University of Oklahoma will win an overwhelming victory."
!”
But what no one expected was that Griffin was very aggressive in this game and showed it from the beginning. In the end, this guy scored 36 points in this game!
This is his season high!
The University of Oklahoma naturally won the final victory, easily winning with a huge margin of 21 points.
Now, these guys should know how powerful I am!
Do you still dare to ask whether the sun will pose a threat to me?
With my performance, who can pose a threat to me?
Um?
When Griffin was interviewed that day, he made up his mind to score 30 points in this game. Let others know that 30 points in a single game is not something he can't do. So, don't stop just because there is a guy who can.
After scoring 30 points in a single game, you think you can be compared with me. This is impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
With this thought in his mind, Griffin walked to his old position against the wall and waited for the reporters to surround him. He was now used to being interviewed after games.
"Blake, tonight you are full of desire to attack. Even though you have already secured the victory, you still attack hard on the court. You scored 36 points. Is this a response to the sun? You also have to prove it.
You also have the ability to score 30 points in a single game..."
???
But the reporter's first question confused Griffin.
What do you mean this is a response to the sun?
What does it mean to prove?
Damn it... I am indeed proving it, but I don’t have to prove anything to the sun, right? Do I need it?
Griffin's brows furrowed again.
This time the wrinkles were deeper than last time.
Because he found that the development of things seemed to be different from what he thought. He originally thought that these reporters would brag crazily to him at this moment. After all, he scored 36 points in a single game! But why, he was talking to the sun again
Up?
He wanted to go berserk, but reason told him that he couldn't go berserk, as that would damage his public image. His goal was to become the No. 1 pick, but no team would choose a bad-tempered No. 1 pick, that's for sure.
He had to endure it.
It's just that when he doesn't speak, he looks angry and resentful, as if he's saying, "I'm just better than him, aren't I? He can't beat me!"
It turns out that Griffin is under so much pressure!
The reporters looked at each other, and then the news about Griffin that night was:
"Secretly competing, Blake Griffin feels threatened by the sun."
"37 points just to prove his scoring ability, Blake Griffin competes with the sun?"
"Feeling threatened? Against a weak team, Griffin scored 37 points!"
I……
I wtf!
These headlines nearly caused Griffin to suffer internal injuries.
He suddenly realized that he might as well not score 37 points!
Originally, he wanted to prove that it is not difficult for him to score 30 points in a single game as long as he wants to.
But after the media reported it, it seemed like he was trying to compete with the sun.
More importantly, these reports sound like he is very unsure of himself!
What the hell!
Don't let me meet that guy, otherwise I will let everyone know that the Chinese guy who was blown away by ESPN is nothing!
On this night when he scored his new season high, Griffin was originally happy, but he vowed with a hint of humiliation, "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty!"
…
Lin Ri didn't know that there was another "chuunibyou" in the world.
The Sun Devils also had a game on this day, and they successfully won this game, extending their winning streak to four games this season.
Although Lin Ri's performance in this game was not as impressive as Griffin's. Not to mention 37 points, he didn't even score 30 points this time, but his shooting percentage once again set a new high for his regular season. In this game, he
He scored 19 points and 14 rebounds with a shooting percentage of 78%, once again fully demonstrating his dominance under the basket.
Then the Sun Devils won the fifth game, the sixth game...until the fifteenth game of the regular season, they did not stop their winning streak.
15 wins and 0 losses!
The dominance of the Sun Devils in the Pac-12 Conference this season can be seen from this record.
But the general media believes that they are about to face challenges.
Chapter completed!
