Wayne became completely popular in Russia, and of course, with Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia returning home with a bunch of reports, Wayne also had some popularity in China at this time.

Since the main channels of news dissemination are newspapers and television, it is naturally impossible for Wayne's news to spread rapidly in China in a short period of time.

However, some die-hard fans who pay attention to basketball consulting from time to time still met this Chinese student who is currently playing in the NCAA through Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia's articles.

"On the court of college basketball, he is undoubtedly already an admired star. He has a lot of fans and he is used by the coach as a tactical core. He is almost universally recognized as one of the best players in Russia. ”

Zhang Weiping praised Wayne fiercely in the article, using almost all the flattering words.

After seeing this report, Ma just wanted to ask: "Who is recognized?" ”

Although the scope of information dissemination is still relatively small, this is a good start.

Because it turns out that there are still some fans who are willing to pay attention to the Chinese players who play in the NCAA.

What's more, Zhang Weiping also wrote such a sentence at the end of the report.

"If Wayne can continue to play like this, he will have a good chance of being picked by an NBA team in the draft by 2004."

What the NCAA is, many Chinese fans at this time don't understand.

But when it comes to the NBA, everyone knows what's going on.

As long as there are Chinese players involved with the NBA, there is no need to worry about attention.

Of course, on a bigger stage and in the spotlight, people will also become more demanding of Wayne.

Now whenever he doesn't play one of those games, he's labeled a flash in the pan.

The greater the fame, the greater the pressure and criticism.

In fact, when the Oklahoma State Post published the headline "Russia Double-Young," many media outlets were waiting for the cowboys to roll over.

Because in the eyes of many other local media, the Oklahoma State Post is completely putting gold on its own players.

Double less in Russia? Dare to label yourself such a label after only winning one game?

Generally speaking, the ones that can be labeled as similar in the NCAA are some extremely strong teams.

For example, in the early 90s, the team led by Weber, Zhu Wan. Howard, Jay. Rose, Ray. Jackson and Jimmy. The team formed by King, a symbol of the glory of the NCAA, is known as the Michigan Five Tigers.

Another example is this year, by Lore. Deng, Chris. Duhon, Sheldon. Williams and J.J. Reddick make up Duke, affectionately known as the Duke Four.

And this year's most famous combination undoubtedly belongs to Delong. Williams, Dee. Brown and Luther. The "Three Musketeers of Illinois" composed of the three Hyde.

They and UConn are considered two of the strongest contenders for this year's NCAA Tournament title.

Compared with these familiar combinations, the coffee position is somewhat unsightly.

After all, Tony. Before this season, Allen and Wayne were not stars or high school talents.

And people don't think the Cowboys have what it takes to make it to the last in March Madness.

So, many reporters outside of Russia have their eyes on Wayne and Tony. Alan.

As soon as they lose, they will be greeted with countless cynicisms.

Again, a bigger spotlight and stage also means more demanding requirements.

However, what is surprising is that for the whole of the following November, the Cowboys were stunned to play an undefeated record of 10-0!

In the face of various challengers in the Big 12 League, the Cowboys showed a first-month winning performance!

And among them, 8 of them were big wins with a score difference of more than double digits!

The Cowboys' dominance in the Big Twelve is proven.

Wayne and Mr. Tony have undoubtedly become the two best performers of the Cowboys in these 10 games.

After the first 10 games of the new season, Tony. Allen averaged 22.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists and a staggering 2.3 steals per game!

His defensive prowess is impressive, and countless media outlets have mentioned Tony. Allen said: "He's now able to defend NBA-level athletes!" ”

Mr. Tony's predicted draft pick also came to the top three in the second round.

In the draft report, Mr. Tony's shortcomings were questioned in addition to his organizational skills, and his age was mentioned the most.

Many people think that he doesn't have much potential to develop anymore, which is why the order is so low.

If it weren't for this factor, Tony. Aaron is expected to be able to rush into the lotto in minutes.

Wayne's average data in the past 10 games is naturally not bad, and he can score 20.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 3.2 blocks.

A pretty all-round statistic!

He ranks first in the Big 12 league in blocks per game, is the current league's block leader, and is 1.3 ahead of Harrison, who is in second place.

Wayne has become a nightmare for every Big 12 player right now, but be prepared to be humiliated whenever he enters his restricted area.

Now every time Wayne completes the block, the fans inside the Gallaher Ebar Arena chant the Chinese word "gai hot pot".

Because the word "gai hot pot" and the English cap "Block" have three sounds, the fans at the scene shouted very smoothly.

Wayne didn't know where this group of old beauties learned the word, but every time the audience let out such a shout, Wayne felt a special sense of accomplishment.

It's even become a home call for the Cowboys.

Wayne was named the Player of the Month of the First Month in the Big Twelve Conference for his outstanding performance during this time.

And as many people predicted, he successfully entered the draft prediction rankings!

In the latest edition of the rankings, Wayne ranked in the middle of the second round.

Don't look at it as just a second round, but it is not easy for a sophomore to go from obscurity to the list.

And the reason why Wayne was only ranked in the second round for the time being is also reasonable at present.

First, there is the perception that Wayne is still playing too few games at a high level.

Because he is a player who has suddenly exploded this season, there are concerns that Wayne's outburst will not be sustained.

Secondly, Wayne's body is a concern that he won't be able to adapt to the intensity of the game at an NBA level.

As the most talented player in China at the moment, Yao Ming has spent a lot of time adapting to the intensity of the NBA game and overcoming many difficulties, not to mention Wayne.

And the last point, and the key point, is that people are afraid that Wayne's all-around will become all-powerful after entering the NBA, and they are worried that Wayne's inappropriate style of play will be completely lost in the NBA.

There are two types of players in the draft that can be called black holes, all-around players who can't do everything and two-way guards.

Wayne seems likely to turn out to be the former.

As the No. 3 position, Wayne is too slow and poor in handling the ball by NBA standards.

As the fourth position, the body is too thin.

Therefore, in the NCAA, it is not easy to make it to the first round by playing some statistics.

If you carefully study the second-round draft or even the undrafted draft every year, you will find that there are not a few people in this group of people who have gorgeous data in college.

But the NBA's selection from the NCAA is not as simple as simply looking at who has better statistics.

If Wayne can go straight to the lottery with just 10 games, it would be too much to look down on other talented players.

What's more, now competing with Wayne and them, there are also high school geniuses.

However, at the end of Wayne's report, there is a special note: "Wayne still has a lot of room to float up, and he is likely to be the player on this list who will change the most in the final ranking." As long as he can continue to output in the next games, we may really be able to see Wei's name in the first round. ”

Wayne looked at his evaluation in the draft prediction and was quite satisfied with the results achieved during this time.

After 10 games, we will reach the middle and early stages of the second round, will the goal of entering the first round be far away?

The "Man of Steel" badge and A-rank raffle pack, add it to your backpack!

Although only in the second round of the NBA draft projections, in the NCAA, Wayne and Mr. Tony have undoubtedly proven that the eye is one of the top combinations.

Those media who want to see the overturn of "Russia's Double Less" are now very depressed.

Because in ESPN's latest Power Rankings, the 10-0 Cowboys are ranked eighth in the United States!

They are also the highest-ranked of any team in the Big Twelve League.

To be able to stand out from hundreds of schools and rank in the top eight, you can think about what an exaggerated achievement.

If it weren't for the fact that the Big Twelve League itself was considered a little less competitive, the Cowboys would not have had a problem finishing in the top five.

Sutton was overjoyed to see the power rankings, the highest number ever on record for the Cowboys.

Even in 1995, when the Cowboys reached the Final Four of March Madness, they never ranked so high.

But then again, such a ranking doesn't necessarily mean that the Cowboys will be able to achieve their goal of reaching the Sweet 16 this year.

Because the schools in front of the cowboys have quite terrifying strength.

North Carolina, Wake Forest, Duke ...... Of course, how can you forget the University of Connecticut and the University of Illinois, which currently lead the power rankings.

UConn has the top candidate Emeka this season. Okafor and another top candidate, Ben. Gordon, the strength is known.

The University of Illinois has their "Three Musketeers", who are also gifted.

In tournaments, the Cowboys will face challenges once they meet any team above their ranking in advance.

Although a team only needs to play six games from the beginning to the championship in March Madness, those six games are the real test and the most valuable matchup

The current 10-0 is nothing at all.

The teams that can rank in the top 10 in the country are basically the teams that have lost 0 in their respective leagues this month.

Old Sutton closed the information in his hand and did not continue to revel in the achievements of the moment.

Because then, a real test awaits his cowboys.

On Dec. 2, the Cowboys' first game of the month, they will face the University of Texas Longhorns, the biggest opponent of the season, at home.

This game is also considered a preview of the finals of the Big Twelve League.

The Cowboys are already in the country eighth this season, and the Longhorns were second in the country last season!

So far this season, the Longhorns have a 9-1 record. It turns out that even with T.J. Ford, they still have a strong dominance.

This opponent, Sutton is long-awaited!

It's time to take the league dominance away from the defending champions.

Of course, it's not just Sutton and the fans on both sides who are following this game.

Eyes from the NBA and across the ocean are all staring at this high-level matchup, all staring at Wayne and Tony. Alan......
