0026: [Politician McHaney]

At this time, Li Zhen didn't expect that he would now get the attention of at least two NBA teams, and if you add the call from the honest Abdul-Jabbar to the general manager of the Lakers, it should be three.

Of course, whether it is a scout recommendation or a celebrity recommendation, it is just to make the team pay attention, and it will take a long time to be able to really be favored by the team and picked up in the draft.

You must know that most of the players who can enter the NBA are sharp in high school, just like Brooks, who was defeated by him this time, he was already a basketball star in California in high school...... But even so, his predictions are not very high, and he keeps hovering before the last two rounds of the first round.

This shows how difficult it is to enter the NBA.

And after Brooks experienced this painful defeat, as Lee Zhen's influence rose, his draft pick actually went down.

In a sense, this matchup is like a zero-sum game: someone starts and someone falls. That's why a lot of unknown players made it to the NBA in March Madness by playing with star players.

Of course, that's why Brooks was so unconvinced after the game.

"He won the fight, but he didn't beat me. I think the boastful articles on the Internet will destroy him eventually. Because those onlookers will come with extremely high expectations, and if he can't give a corresponding performance, the current heat will swallow him. ”

There is some truth to Brooks' words.

The amount of noise that Stanford students and Harvard students are now making on the Internet has made Lee Zhen a celebrity very quickly, and people immediately remember this Stanford student named Bruce Lee, and he also hit the exact same score as Michael Jordan did when he killed the Jazz.

If the Internet is just fragmented communication, let everyone know that there is a person named Bruce Lee at Stanford.

Then Slam Dunk's special issue of the NCAA released the next day was a fitting addition, and Richmond's detailed report quickly gave NBA fans a glimpse into the dramatic background of Bruce Lee, who created the magical stunner yesterday afternoon.

And this coherent 'propaganda' is almost as if it has been specially arranged.

When people know... The Stamford Crimson are now missing two key players in quick succession, and the drama is at its peak after the head coach left the team to bring in reinforcements for next season and announced that Bruce Lee would not be registered next season.

A renounced guy leads a renounced team to work a miracle: after taking out USC, he continues to beat Oregon, who is so tough that he tries to do miracles.

So? Bruce Lee is the chosen one, and Stanford is the team that can work miracles in the end??

Everyone loves the story of the counterattack.

Moreover, Li Zhen is still so good. He was admitted to Harvard at the age of fifteen, excelled in character and learning, and was one of the founders of Facebook, a favorite website for young people.

These backgrounds are like powerful colored pens that give him an unusual color.

After all, the NCAA basketball players that people usually know are the kind of muscular men who are physically fit and not good at studying at all, and even have to cheat to get into college.

But now, Bruce Lee has subverted that stereotype, and he's a top student. And he looks so handsome, which meets everyone's aesthetics.

It's really a character like Prince Charming.

The girls sighed one after another.

There is no doubt that Li Zhen has become the most noticeable figure in the entire magazine. People don't even care if Aldridge from Texas can beat European phenom Bargnani to become the top pick in 2006, and even less care about how many consecutive three-pointers Adam Morrison, who claims to be Larry Bird's second, in training camp...... It's not that these guys aren't good, but compared to Bruce Lee, whose story, identity, and even name is legendary, it's too ordinary and too conformist.

Their story can be found in almost every Slam Dunk story, but like Bruce Lee, it's definitely the first time in the history of the NCAA.

It is worth mentioning that "Slam Dunk" magazine has a very large sales volume in addition to the private sector. In the NBA, it's even more for everyone.

Especially in the months leading up to the draft, many managers learn about the rookies through Slam Dunk and Sports Illustrated's NCAA special editions.

When Bruce Lee's name appeared to them again in the form of lead characters after the bombardment of the Internet, and it was also full of storytelling.

Their attention couldn't help but move to this guy.

After all, he has an even more fascinating identity: he is a Chinese.

Who doesn't know that Houston is now making a lot of money with the "Great Wall" from China. So, this has also led to many teams flocking to the voice from China.

So, unconsciously.

Li Zhen has actually garnered more attention in the NBA than some first-round players.

But what he needs to do now is keep the heat going. If he keeps winning and leading the team to the tournament, his popularity will continue to swell and the attention will become higher.

At that point, he will even become a veritable hit.

……

Coach McHaney had planned to return to Stamford on Monday and travel with the team to Washington, D.C., to coach for the final Pacific qualifying game.

However, when he saw the report in Slam Dunk magazine in the morning, he canceled his plan to return.

He was annoyed by the journalist's portrayal, although he really abandoned the team.

But the reporter's portrayal makes any reader think that Coach McHaney is a villain, because in his description: the head coach of this team did not take responsibility, left the team because of the loss of two key players, and did not dig into the eyes of geniuses, and even made the decision to remove Bruce Lee from the list next season.

Although he only adds subjective assumptions on the basis of facts, no one likes his villain identity.

So, Coach McHaney decided not to go back.

He doesn't think Stanford will be able to beat the tough University of Washington, but they have Brandon Roy, a super senior who can make it to the lottery.

So, why should I go back and carry this pot?

When I lose, I will say that it is my responsibility, saying that my ability is not good, which will affect Bruce Lee's performance.

Once again, McHaney chose to hang high, and he sat back and watched Stanford fail, and then went back to take charge of the endgame himself.

He has the mindset of a politician.

But politician is never a good word.

And, the thing he didn't know was. At the same time that he made up his mind not to go back, Li Zhen, who was actively training in the Stanford training hall, once again sounded the voice of a positive energy baby in his head: Congratulations, release 50,000 drops of sweat, and open 10 points of talent energy grid again.
