Chapter 26: See you in Los Angeles
After ending her NCAA journey, Han Miao kept her promise and stayed in Indiana until the end of the NCAA finals.
Butler really played the Finals with Duke, and even the result was the same, Hayward finally jumped on the basket for a long time with a long-range three-pointer, and then rolled out very unwillingly, and failed to perform a killing miracle.
At 61:59, Duke won by two points and successfully won the fourth championship in team history.
"Look, if you don't listen to the games you usually play less, what's the matter, you will suffer at the last moment."
After the game, the two had dinner together, and Han Miao took the opportunity to ridicule Hayward with "hate iron but not steel", but to be honest, he alone led Butler to win 25 consecutive wins and rushed to the finals, which is already very powerful.
What's more, the moment the ultra-long three-point shot was thrown out at the end, Han Miao was scared into a cold sweat, almost thinking that the ball had scored!
"Fuck off, it's like you're very accurate at three-pointers, and I've never seen you shoot three-pointers, okay......"
"I'm a secret weapon, and I don't use it easily." It is true that there is no long-range marksman, and Han Miao's three-point shooting is ineffective, so under normal circumstances, he will not shoot outside the three-point line, because it does not fit his playing style.
But in front of Hayward, Han Miao can't admit it, after all, he can't shoot three points, that's now, and after unlocking the long-range marksman and unlimited range in the future, it's a question whether Hayward can shoot three-point shots.
"Hey, are you participating in this year's draft?"
Hayward took the initiative to ask Han Miao.
"Participate, what about you?"
"Me too." Hayward was a little helpless: "I was going to win the championship and participate, so I could improve the ranks, but now it seems that this is impossible." ”
Hey, brother, are you the ninth pick in the end, okay, this position is very good, what do you want?
Han Miao expressed contempt for Hayward's idea, although as a white man, Hayward's style of play is very tough, and his skills are more comprehensive, some scouts say that he is "more talented than Hornacek", in fact, in Han Miao's view, if Hayward's projection ability can be a few more grades, then he can be said to be the contemporary Larry Bird.
After all, in terms of physical fitness, maybe Hayward is a little better than Bird.
"Han, your draft pick doesn't seem to be bad."
Hayward pulled out his phone and checked it for the latest news about the draft.
After this year's NCAA pick-up, major media outlets across the United States updated their rankings of potential rookies.
Han Miao's ranking has moved up a little bit, and now he is almost stable in the second half of the lotto, that is, 10-14, and his highest ranking in the media is 8th.
No way, after all, his passing ability is too powerful, and in terms of passing skills among all the rookies, no one dares to rank first when he sends second.
Moreover, the three wonderful dark horse battles and the last 30+10 game added a lot of points to Han Miao, so he could only break into the top ten with the highest ranking.
Of course, the main reason is that Han Miao has been exposed to the media for too little, and if he had played in the United States since high school, he might have to go to the top five now.
Wall is still No. 1, but Turner has caught up, and this year because Wall was unexpectedly eliminated by Han Miao, many scouts have lowered their impression of him.
It's true that Wall is very good at scoring, but the NBA is not lacking in scoring, and if a player can only score and not bring victory to the team, then this kind of person is generally called a "data brush......
"Gordon, are you going to Los Angeles or not?"
Han Miao suddenly asked Hayward.
"Los Angeles? Do you mean training camp? I'm definitely going to go, how can I do it if I don't go, we're not Wall and Turner, the top three people locked in early. ”
Hayward is actually a little unconvinced, Wall forget it, the key is Turner, who is old and has an average team record, isn't it just that the data is a little better (20+9), how did he become the best player of the year?
I heard that Wall took 7 votes, Han Miao took 2, and the rest of the votes were all for Turner.
What the hell, Ohio State is just the top eight, in terms of leading the team, which one of Hayward or Han Miao is not better than him? (Ohio State is stronger overall than Butler and Penn.)
In terms of data, well, 20+9 is very beautiful, but it's not two pairs, Cousins, who has 15+10 big doubles on the inside, has nothing, so it's wronged!
Moreover, in terms of scoring ability, Wall and others also have higher highest scores than Turner, who just played such a good average score because he took up a lot of balls.
At least, Hayward doesn't think that if he gives himself that many shots, his stats will lose to Turner, even if the rebounds may be a little worse, but he will definitely score more points!
"Oh, after all, people are old, and they have played basketball for two more years, which is normal."
Although Han Miao doesn't think Turner is powerful, after all, people now have a faint tendency to become the first person in college (after all, the best player of the year), and in the original trajectory, Turner is the leader!
"Han, it would be nice if I could play with you, I think the two of us are very compatible, I don't want too much ball, you can pass it to me."
Hayward actually likes teammates like Han Miao's style of play, as long as he is out of the vacancy, he can pass the ball to himself, and they are all very good opportunities, Butler University won Pennsylvania, purely because Han Miao's group of teammates at that time were too vegetable, and they couldn't get into the vacant position, so how could they play?
It would be great if Han Miao was Butler University, Hayward wouldn't mind giving such a hand, and then Butler University would definitely be the champion.
"It can't be helped, now the two of us are very close, but this year's draw ceremony has not yet begun, who knows what the order of the lotto will be."
Although the draw ceremony has not yet been held, according to Han Miao's memory, in 10 years, there seems to be no duplicate team in the lotto area.
"Well, yes, but it's okay, if you go to the Los Angeles training camp, if there is a two-on-two, I'm going to be with you."
Hayward naturally understands that it will be very difficult for the draft to be together, unless there is a trade or something, but he has now quickly booked a spot for training camp.
Hehe, with Han Miao and his partner, Hayward dares to say that he can get 20+ every game!
"Okay, it just so happens that there is no one on our team except me, so it's good to team up with you to play two-on-two."
Han Miao has no opinion, because teammates like Hayward, who look ordinary but are very useful, are what every traditional point guard wants to have.
It's all an assist!
Moreover, Han Miao also needs better data to fight for a better draft pick for himself, if this year's draw results are the same as in history, then among the top ten teams, there is indeed something worth fighting for!
"Han, see you in Los Angeles."
"See you in Los Angeles."
After the meal, the two hugged each other goodbye, and they had to go back to their respective schools and take care of some things before going to Los Angeles.
But who knows what will happen when you go to Los Angeles?
