041: Let Thomas rather give up James's genius
Seeing that the newspaper was full of news about himself, Wayne himself was quite surprised.
Although he is the regular season MVP of the Big 12 League, Wayne still has a number in mind. In the game of March Madness, there are more college stars than their own famous.
Emeka. Okafor, Delong. Williams, Lore. Deng, Ben. Gordon...... These guys are the best in the NCAA.
But after the first round, there was very limited coverage of them.
Most of the sports pages of the newspaper were dominated by two players.
One is Wayne, who scored 17 points and 11 blocks and made an alternate double-double.
And the other is the talented point guard from Lincoln High School, Sebastian who got rid of Howard in yesterday's game and dribbled to the bottom left corner to complete the kill. Telfil.
The fact that a single high school player was able to steal the limelight from so many college stars during the March Madness tournament shows how hot Telfil is.
In terms of popularity, he even slightly outlasted Wayne.
This situation even David. Stern didn't expect it, because in his plan, Wayne should have been the only one to become popular today.
Yesterday afternoon, Stern mobilized all the media forces and began to hype Wayne wildly, hoping that Wayne would enter the first round and that Wayne would attract the attention of Chinese fans.
But the sudden arrival of Telfil caught Stern off guard.
David, the master of the whole work, also has times when he makes mistakes.
Wayne looked at the photo in the newspaper, he knew Howard who was killed, but the Telfil who completed the lore, Wayne really has no memory at all.
Who's this buddy?
Will there be such a number one person in the NBA in the future?
In his previous life, as a veteran die-hard fan, Wayne still knew a lot of underdog players.
But Telfil he really hadn't heard of it.
Wouldn't this guy be the same as himself, a basketball player who suddenly crossed into this world and then acquired the system!?
At this time, Tony, who was staying in a room with Wayne at the hotel. Aaron woke up.
After he washed up, he picked up a newspaper and read it, ready to kill the time and sit and wait for breakfast.
Seeing that the sports edition was all about Wayne, Mr. Tony smiled from ear to ear.
"It's March Madness, and it only takes one win to make a name for yourself! Winning one game in March Madness is better than winning MVP in the Big 12. What does it feel like to be famous? Wayne! ”
"Uh...... I haven't felt anything yet. By the way, Tony, this Sebastian. Who is Telfil, why is it so hot today? ”
Wayne had just finished speaking, Tony. Aaron showed an expression of disbelief, as if to say, "How can such a question come out of your mouth, damn." ”
"Telfil...... It's that Telfil. ”
"So, which Telfil is it?"
"It's the No. 1 high school student point guard Telfil who was on the cover of countless magazines with James last year, abused everyone in the ABCD training camp with James, and was signed by Adidas as a spokesperson in high school, you don't really know him, right?"
"Oh, it's Telfil." Wayne pretended to understand, but didn't understand anything.
A super high school point guard on par with James?
How come you've never heard of it before?
In this way, there is only one possibility - this person named Telfil will not be able to mix in the NBA in the future.
Because as long as a rotation player who has been in the league a little longer, Wayne is not completely unheard of.
"I really didn't expect him to kill Dwight. Howard. That guy is known as a combination of Duncan and Garnett! Originally, Telfil was hot enough, but this time he completed the lore on Howard's head, and it was difficult to think about it. ”
"It's better to watch less of that kind of stall-style reporting, there is no combination of Duncan and Garnett in this world." At the mention of Howard's outrageous template, Wayne had a pain in his head.
"Even if he's not a combination of Duncan and Garnett, the talent is explosive enough. So, it is definitely a feat to complete the lore on his head! But it doesn't matter, in my heart, you're still the hottest player of the day, and Telfil has to step aside. ”
Tony. Aaron comforted Wayne, who thought he was discouraged by a high school stealer.
But Wayne was just curious about Telfil, listening to Tony. As soon as Aaron introduced this, Telfil seemed to be quite fierce in high school.
It's no wonder that so much traffic was snatched during March Madness.
In the afternoon, when Wayne and the others returned to Stillwater, the entire airport was surrounded by fans.
It's not the first time Wayne has gone out to play on the road, and there have been many fans at the airport when he came back from an away game before, but none of them were as exaggerated as today.
Fans chanted the names of the Cowboys players and held up signs that read "Welcome Home Heroes."
And among them, Wayne is almost the most popular player.
The CCTV team of five reporters who returned to Jingshui City the night earlier were stunned.
This formation is simply the treatment that only NBA stars have!
"Don't be surprised, in Stillwater City, Xiao Wei and Tony are the biggest basketball stars!" Director Zhang looked like a passerby, as if he was not surprised by this.
But in fact, when he first came to Wayne a few months ago, he was also taken aback by the super popularity of college basketball.
In Boston, you can see all the citizens gathered in the North Shore Gardens.
In Los Angeles, the Staples exterior is always packed.
At this time, you can also see a similar scene in Jingshui City.
Director Zhang raised his camera and snapped a few photos of Wayne waving at the fans.
This young man is different from all the Chinese players who have entered the NBA before, he was already very famous in the United States before he entered the league.
He hopes that he can pass these reports back to China truthfully, so that Chinese fans can fully understand this unusual Chinese student.
Because the fans were too enthusiastic, the original more than 40-minute journey from the airport to the school, Wayne and his team were stunned to walk in an hour and a half.
Although the population of Jingshui City is small, the streets are usually sparsely populated.
But when everyone gets together, it still creates a big obstacle to traffic.
By the time Wayne and the others arrived at school, it was already lunchtime.
Old Sutton wanted to have a tactical meeting today, because the first round of the battle meant that the Cowboys' opponent in the second round had also been released.
But seeing that it was not too early, he decided to let the players go back to rest first and talk about it tomorrow.
So before today's disbandment, the elder Sutton only said a few words to the players: "I was proud of your performance yesterday, but it's not time to relax. ”
"In the next match, our opponent will be the prestigious Wake Forest University. There is no doubt that they will not be as easily tied down as the University of Washington.
So, get some rest tonight, it's best not to go anywhere, and get ready for the challenge! ”
Because they just won, everyone's morale is high. Therefore, even if they heard that the other party was a famous academy like Wake Forest, everyone was not afraid.
It's the same with Wayne, who doesn't even think about what players Wake Forest has right now.
It doesn't matter who he is, it's over!
Back in the dorm, Brother Teddy calls the two girls to celebrate Wayne's first win in March Madness.
Although many universities in the United States still do not allow men and women to live in the same room, they do allow men and women to live in the same building or even on the same floor.
Not to mention the United States, Wayne had a previous life, when he was in college, because the dormitory building on the new campus of the school had not yet been completed, he also experienced the good times of men and women living in the same building.
The advantage of co-living in the same building is that female students can come to the dormitory at any time.
So when Wayne opened the door to the dorm room and found that there were actually two girls inside, he was not surprised.
After dinner, both Girl and Teddy want to go to the nightclub to continue the celebration, but Wayne politely refuses on the grounds that he is too tired to rest.
In the end, Wayne still moved out of the Chinese universal social stunt "Call my brother if you have something", so that the girls reluctantly left.
During March Madness, it's better not to overdraw your physical fitness.
On the surface, he didn't want to, but in fact, Wei was still a little restless in his heart.
After all, they are all young and moving female classmates......
Hey, I have to face such and such temptations every day, and Wayne really finds it too difficult.
When Crazy March is over, I must make it back!
Before going to bed at night, the curious Wayne borrowed Teddy's "thin and light book" that was so heavy that it could kill people to check Chatterfield's information.
Only then did I realize that I was indeed lonely.
Telfil's reputation in the United States, especially in New York, is comparable to that of a professional footballer.
Last season, after smashing with James at ABCD training camp and appearing on the covers of major magazines, his fame was even more out of control.
It is worth mentioning that Telfil has also announced that he will participate in this year's NBA draft, and it looks like he will be on the same path as James.
At the moment, Telfil's mock draft is at the end of the lotto.
For a high school guard who is less than 1.9 meters tall, this is quite incredible.
Online, Wayne also saw the comments given by a number of people after Telfil beat Howard.
Jay-Z and Spike. Li Du said that they would attend the next game at Lincoln High School in person to cheer for Telfil.
Hollywood director Jonathan. Hawke said he wanted to make a documentary for Telfil.
Most exaggeratedly, Wayne saw a strip from Isaiah. Thomas's words.
"If Telfil and James were to go in the draft together, I would go with Telfil."
Wayne:???
Thomas: Is this serious?
Fortunately, Bird fired Thomas last year and did not give him this opportunity to lose face.
To sum it up, Telfil, who is slightly more popular today than Wayne, is a high school basketball prodigy in New York, but it is very likely that he will not play in the NBA in the future.
Of course, Wayne couldn't have imagined that this high school genius, who seemed to have nothing to do with his own eight poles, was imperceptibly having some impact on his draft......
After satisfying his curiosity, Wayne turned off his computer and prepared to end a long day of running.
At the same time, in the basketball hall of the Devils Deacons at Wake Forest University, a man who is 1.83 meters tall drew a big red cross on Wayne's head in the newspaper.
He doesn't allow himself to lose to any opponent, even one who is much taller than him.
