Eliminating the Cardinals, the Sun Devils advance to the NCAA's national quarterfinals this year.

Lin Ri scored 20 points, 14 rebounds, 5 blocks and 1 steal in this game.

It can be seen from the data he obtained that he did not have much presence on the offensive end in this game and "only" scored 20 points.

How low is this score?

From the formal start of the NCAA regular season last year until now, Lin has only scored 20 points or less in a single game, only for two games in total.

Tonight is the third game.

He focused more on the defensive end tonight, and the result was very good. He single-handedly "watched" the Cardinals' core Earl Clark in this game, and for a long time

He "wiped the butt" for James Harden very well, so that he would not be outdone by the physically strong Terrence Williams.

5 blocks are proof.

Although blocking shots can never fairly prove a player's quality on the defensive end, it can at least prove his enthusiasm. If he didn't think about covering up defense every time, he wouldn't be able to contribute so many blocks.

You must know that among these 5 blocks, only one was blocked by Lin Ri when he blocked Earl Clark face-to-face. The others were the result of supplementary defense. Terrence Williams and Earl Clark alone were killed by him from the sidelines.

Out, three of them were blocked, almost covering their shadows.

Terrence Williams once subconsciously turned his head to look back when he was going for a layup.

It was Lin Ri who kept these two cores in check on the defensive end that allowed the Sun Devils to smoothly defeat the Cardinals and advance to the next round with their heads held high.

So the first prize in this game must be attributed to Lin Ri.

No one can refute this.

Even though James Harden performed well in this game, scoring a game-high 24 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, but without Lin Ri to help him defend, his little life on the defensive end tonight would be

It's definitely not that comfortable, and if he puts too much energy into the defensive end, it will undoubtedly be very difficult for him to score 24 points on the offensive end.

Therefore, at the end of the game, he ran towards Lin Ri and wanted to give Lin Ri a hug, but he timidly shouted: "The sun?"

He didn't know whether this was the sun or "the grumpy Lin Sun".

If he hadn't calmed down yet, to be honest, James Harden really didn't dare to hug him. He was afraid that if he hugged this guy, he would give him a slap on the back, which would make him die on the spot.

"Nice, James, we won!"

Fortunately, he won the game, and Lin Ri also recovered from the stressful state, and his tone was as calm as usual again. More importantly, this guy no longer spits out sweet things.

The familiar The Sun is back. James Harden immediately gave him a big hug, and at the same time began to repeat his line excitedly: "It's not over yet, man! We're not over yet!"

Two reporters from ESPN, Charles and Rachel, had been waiting on the sidelines early, waiting with smiles on their faces for Lin Ri to finish celebrating with his teammates. They then stepped forward to conduct an on-site interview with Lin Ri.

"Is this your interview today? Have you finished the exam?" Lin Ri saw Rachel and said hello with a smile. He was quite familiar with Rachel now.

He was so familiar with it that he even knew that Rachel had gone back to take exams in the past few days instead of going to work at ESPN.

The two of them have kept in touch in private. Rachel would say hello to him every time before coming for an interview, and occasionally she would share her life with him.

Of course that's the limit.

But even if they are just ordinary friends, they are still considered friends compared to other reporters.

"Well, the exam is over, so come back to work quickly. If you don't come to work, I don't know when I can interview you next time." Rachel replied with a smile.

Well, although she was right, the NCAA "March Madness" has already reached the 16-to-8 stage. Even if the Sun Devils win the championship, there will only be 3 games left at most. If you really don't come to work, Lin Ri will

The season is almost over.

And Lin Ri, who has already announced that he will participate in the 2009 draft, will go to the NBA next season. With Rachel's qualifications that have just become a regular player, it is really difficult to become a team reporter for a team. I want to interview Lin Ri again, but I really don't know.

When will you get it?

Lin Ri smiled back. It wasn't that he didn't know what to say, but that the camera facing him had already been turned on and it was inappropriate for him to chat.

He also glanced at Rachel, what a good guy, she already showed a standard professional smile with 8 teeth, it looks so camera-like!

The questions at the beginning of the interview were quite conventional. Rachel asked Lin Ri how it felt to win. Did he ever think that he would enter the top 8 before? Lin Ri didn't need to think about it, he just went straight to it.

Questions that can be answered in one second.

This is why he likes Rachel to come for interviews.

Other reporters’ questions contained some pitfalls.

Wouldn't it be better to be more sincere and less clichéd?

At the end of the interview, Lin Ri was asked again why he became "Irritable Lin Ri" in this game.

"This is a way for me to vent my stress. When I want to relax, I will subconsciously say swear words and make some exaggerated movements. That will make me look very irritable." Lin Ri said at this moment.

My son had calmed down, and when he was asked this question, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

This can be considered a quirk!

Thinking about how he suddenly became violent, he probably scared a lot of people...

However, Lin Ri did not regard this as a big problem.

Because this really worked, after he became irritable, he even felt that his mind was clearer than usual.

Since it's so effective, just be irritable!

And his trash talk is obviously helpful for his defense.

Wasn't Earl Clark provoked by his trash talk in this game and challenged him to a duel for a long time?

It took a long time to react and start running without the ball again?

Earl Clark was not an impulsive guy, but when he faced the irascible Lin Ri, he was a little bit agitated. If he really encountered someone who got angry after just one or two words of trash talk, he wouldn't be able to do whatever he wanted to do.

How to play with it?

Besides, how can you be in the NBA if you don’t know how to trash talk?

Under normal circumstances, Lin Ri was too lazy to talk nonsense to his opponents, and usually just used his performance to shut up his opponents.

If one day you can't take advantage of the opponent, and you can't scold others, then it would be too cowardly.

In his irritable state, he can solve this problem very well.

Isn't it just trash talk?

He was so good in that state!

Rachel couldn't help laughing when she looked at Lin Ri's embarrassed and somewhat embarrassed expression.

I'm afraid no one can connect the guy who is scratching his head and struggling to explain with Lin Ri just now who talks rough words and plays like he's going to fight, right?

This is really, the more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes...

After the game, "Irritated Lin Ri" also became the topic of discussion among many fans. All fans who watched the game were surprised that Lin Ri still had such a side.

What's more important is that when Lin Ri exposed his violent side, he looked even more powerful.

In the first few rounds of the game, he had no way to attack Earl Clark. After he entered the "irritable state", he immediately found a way to restrict the latter, and finally even completely locked him up!

"Is this guy a Saiyan? The one who can transform!"

"This game let everyone know that the Sun can play better. He did not show his full strength in the battle with Blake Griffin, although this is something that everyone can see.

What happened, no one expected, right? He went all out and was so exaggerated!"

"I think the general managers in the NBA are going to be even crazier!"

Lin Ri's performance completely conquered all the fans who watched the game. They called Lin Ri the "Saiyan" in Dragon Ball, and he is a Saiyan who can transform into a "Super Saiyan"!

There is no way, when Lin Ri became irritable, his performance on the court obviously went to a new level. It is really hard not to be surprised!

It's just that Griffin's reputation was unexpectedly damaged.

He was already considered inferior to Lin Ri. After this game, he was even more recognized by most fans. The gap between him and Lin Ri was much wider than what was shown in that game!

Because Griffin didn't get rid of the "irritable Lin" until the end of that game, but even so, there was already some visible gap between Griffin and Lin Ri in that game. If Lin Ri really

If he showed his violent side in that game, Griffin would be even less able to play.

The fans were surprised, and the NBA general managers who had targeted Lin Ri early were even more surprised.

Originally they thought they knew Lin Ri's talent and his immediate combat ability very well, but now it seems that they clearly don't know enough!

"Grumpy Lin Ri" made them want to shout "It smells so good" loudly!

In fact, it was not all sounds of shock and surprise. There were also many voices of doubt. They believed that this was a sign that Lin Ri could not control his emotions, which could very well destroy the unity of a team.

In the face of these voices, the teams of these general managers made a silent response with one defeat after another - what? The Sun has a character problem? Haha ~ continue to be bad!

joke!

It’s as if we didn’t watch the game!

Although this guy looks very irritable, he is very calm on the court. His judgments on when and what decisions to make are very correct. Is this a sign of being unable to control his emotions?

I think you guys are full and have nothing to do, so you want to scold me!

The result was that these experts who questioned Lin Ri were scolded so much that they did not dare to speak out again for several days. When they did speak again, they were other comments that had nothing to do with Lin Ri.

I’m afraid of being scolded!

This shows how fierce the firepower was in fighting back against them!

However, this almost made Barkley jealous to death.

After seeing the comments that these guys were scolded by the entire Internet, he suddenly realized that he had to pretend to be stupid now to attract attention?
