Chapter 31 Still young!(2/2)
Novak was selected with the 32nd overall pick last year, and Lin Ying easily entered the first round.
Lin Ying nodded, but said nothing.
Durant said this to make him happy, and of course he would not refute it.
It's just that things won't be as simple as Durant said.
Just like when you abuse someone in a game, it doesn't mean that the more people you abuse, the stronger you will be.
Novak can't do anything except three-pointers well, but his three-pointers don't belong on the NBDL stage.
That's the kind of thing in the NBA that can be arranged by the head coach to shoot the winning shot at the last moment, and it can still be made!
But this half of the game gave him confidence.
He was previously worried that he had not yet developed dribbling breakthroughs and had only scratched the surface of his low-post skills, which would affect his draft prospects.
But Novak's example shows that there is room for survival in today's league for players with special skills.
If he can play a game with his own characteristics in the next "Crazy Three", he might really have a chance to enter the first round as Durant said!
At the end of halftime, Durant and Lin Ying went to the center of the court to sign autographs for others as previously agreed.
The arena was extra considerate at this time and brought them tables and stools.
The midfielders of NBDL usually don't arrange halftime performances, so this time they changed the direction and heated up the field.
Soon, Lin Ying and Durant felt their hands sore again.
And some fans asked to take photos with them.
This life is twice as difficult.
Of course, this is not the most exaggerated thing. The most exaggerated thing is that some Bulls players came over to ask for their autographs!
Durant and Lin Ying were shocked when they looked up and saw.
The two people looked at each other and read a message from each other's eyes:
They literally had their heads caught in the door to watch the game!
I kept signing until the beginning of the second half, and only less than one-fifth of the signatures were signed.
They returned to the stands and the remaining four-fifths had to wait until after the game.
Now Durant has a mask of pain on his face, and he can't watch the game anymore!
Williams looked at his expression and wanted to laugh.
In fact, the reason why these people are so keen on asking for autographs is not entirely because of their love for them.
In addition to love, there is another key factor: value.
Both Durant and Lin Ying have a chance to play in the NBA.
Especially Durant, who sits back and waits for draft prospects, is likely to become an NBA superstar in the future.
If it's not impressive enough, now you have a jersey signed by Jordan or Kobe. How much collection value do you think it has? Or how much can it be sold for?
After all, Durant and Lin Ying were not the first to sign autographs!
As the saying goes: All the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.
Still young!
After watching the game for a few minutes in the second half and seeing that neither Durant nor Lin Ying paid much attention to the game, Williams once again left early.
This time... Durant was the first to nod!
It’s not that he doesn’t want to fulfill his promise, but if he does, he might lose his life here tonight!
Williams still had experience. After explaining to them, he got up and left his seat first.
After a while, Lin Ying also stood up and left his seat.
The presence of the two of them is not that strong, and not many fans notice it.
When Durant finally stood up, he attracted the attention of many fans on the sidelines.
It was just that Durant was covering his stomach with his hand in pain as Williams said. It looked like he had stomach discomfort.
I have a stomachache and I have to go to the toilet in a hurry. You can’t have any objections, right?!
Those fans also withdrew their gaze one after another after seeing it.
As a result, the three people slipped into the aisle three times.
Moreover, they did not leave the front entrance after they went down. Williams led them directly to the back entrance of the arena.
Thanks to Williams' frequent visits, he even knew where the back door was.
Otherwise they would definitely not be able to escape today!
It wasn't until they got into the car that the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Williams looked at the two people in the rearview mirror and finally couldn't help laughing.
Today's encounter can be regarded as a vivid lesson for them.
If he encounters a situation like this again in the future, Durant probably won't make a promise easily.
Humans, many times make choices without thinking too much about the consequences.
But you can't regret it, you can only learn from it.
Of course, this time they came out to watch football and they didn't gain nothing.
Durant gained experience and lessons, Lin Ying gained draft confidence, and Williams...well, he is just a driver.
But don't tell me, after such a fuss, their hearts calmed down. They were so engrossed in the evening training that they fell asleep after the training.
Calculated this way, this wave is not a loss.
…
As soon as he woke up the next day, Barnes called the team members together before class and announced something.
At this time, there was only one thing worthy of causing Barnes to make such a big fuss.
The grouping of "Crazy Three" is out!
The 65 teams are divided into four regions: East, West, South, and Central and West.
Then each large area is divided into upper and lower half areas according to the parity of the seeds.
The University of Texas was assigned to the Midwest Division this time, and they were the No. 13 seed.
It was pretty much what Lin Ying had expected. They were placed in a relatively middle position, which was pretty good.
The other two teams in the big12 are also in this area.
The University of Kansas is the No. 1 seed and the University of Oklahoma is the No. 17 seed.
This result is a huge disaster for Oklahoma University fans.
Because they have to play a qualifying round to advance to the top 64. If they fail to win, they will be eliminated early.
And then let's go back to the University of Texas.
The No. 13 seeds looked okay, but after Barnes finished sorting out the opponents they might face next, the expressions of the team members were like this:? (oДo?)
If some people don't understand what a devil's stadium is, then the University of Texas' "Crazy Three" trip is the best explanation.
The 17 teams in the Midwest Region are:
1,University of Kansas
2,UCLA
3. Georgia Tech University
4, Georgetown University
5, University of North Carolina
…
13, University of Texas
…
Looking at this ranking, that is to say, if there is no upset, the opponents that the University of Texas needs to defeat in order to achieve the "Elite Eight" goal set by Barnes are: Georgetown University, the University of North Carolina, and the University of Kansas.
The final results of the NCAA this year in the history of these three teams are: the strongest four, the elite eight, and the elite eight.
If they want to go one step further and try to enter the final four, then they will most likely face UCLA!
This year, UCLA also reached the final four in its history...
If they want to win the championship that Lin Ying and Durant want, their next opponents will most likely be the University of Florida and Ohio State University...
"Coach, have you offended someone?"
After Barnes finished speaking, Durant couldn't help but speak.
Chapter completed!
