(In the previous chapter, I saw a lot of friends asking why there is a growth card for the Chinese people, here is an explanation, the main reason is that the time has not come, it is inevitable to use the growth card to cultivate the Chinese people, I thought about such a plot when I designed this golden finger, but now the protagonist is just a college coach, and he has not mixed up any fame, and now he will use the only few training cards for the Chinese people, which is not good for him!) The growth card can indeed raise the potential of a person to the level of a star, but growth requires a process, and the level of NCAA players is much higher than that of domestic players.

In short, it is certain that there will be a plot for Chinese people to use growth cards to cultivate strong domestic players and then send them to the NBA, but not now, if you write it now, many exciting plots are difficult to unfold. ）

But anyone who went to the scene to watch the first Harvard game, or watched the video of the game afterwards, was silent.

They didn't know how to describe the game, if they had to find an adjective......

Suffocate.

Almost suffocating defense.

Last season, Harvard's defense was already strong, but compared to this season, that defense is like playing!

In the Harvard team, there is an extra big man.

And this big man replaced Plain last season, guarding the interior line of Harvard, and his defensive ability is much stronger than Plain!

9 blocks in the game!

Harvard's interior line is like a no-fly zone, and any player who breaks into the interior line will not be able to put the basketball into the basket in front of this big man.

No one knows where Harvard found such a monster, and some discerning scouts were shocked to find that at the level of this freshman, directly joining the NBA is enough to be used by many NBA teams as the main force of interior defense!

Such a player appearing in the NCAA arena, or the Ivy League, which is the lowest level in the Division I league, is simply a naked bully!

Even more bullying is Harvard's outside line.

The outside line formed by Jeremy Lin and Plain is no easier than the inside line, and a season of training has made the defensive style of the two more sophisticated.

With Dunn on the inside and Jeremy Lin on the outside, Harvard almost lost the fighting spirit of all the teams in the entire Ivy League in just one game.

In the next few games, Harvard ended the game with a big score without any suspense, and even the opponent did not have a few full-court scores that could exceed 60 points, and there was no team with 70 points!

And when Harvard's invincible division swept all the teams in the Ivy League without suspense, the new NBA 08-09 season also began.

There is a lot to look forward to this season for NBA fans.

For example, whether Rose, who was selected by the Bulls as the No. 1 pick, can lead the Bulls to revive Jordan's glory days.

For example, this season, what kind of level can the Trail Blazers three (Roy, Durant, Aldridge) show?

Another example is what kind of strong performance does Emperor Auden, who has finally returned from injury, use to announce the arrival of his time......

Well, soon, people saw it.

On October 28, the SuperSonics had changed its name to the opening game after the Thunder.

Auden made his debut under much scrutiny, but the soon-to-be-ruled Emperor didn't seem to be quite comfortable yet.

He shot 0-of-4 from the opening game, then sprained his foot in the scramble for rebounds and was forced to have long legs, and finally scored 0 points, 5 rebounds, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls in 15 minutes of play.

Immediately after, the post-race inspection report showed that Oden, who sprained his ankle, needed to recuperate for two weeks.

The fans looked confused.

What the hell is this?

Luckily, this injury only requires two weeks of recuperation, not another season.

As a result, the fans waited in anticipation for another two weeks, and the Great Auden took command again.

This time, Oden didn't get injured again and hit the first point of his career.

Then, throughout the game, Oden played 16 minutes and scored a total of 3 points and 2 rebounds......

Fans: "??? ”

Unlike what fans imagined, Oden seemed completely out of his way to the game, and was plagued by fouls in every game.

It wasn't until mid-November that it finally played a 20+10 highlight performance, but it was accompanied by an ultra-high number of fouls of 5 fouls, and the team still lost as always.

Throughout November, Olympian played only about 20 minutes per game, averaging 8 points and 7 rebounds per game, which is not low in terms of efficiency alone, and if it is extended to 30 to 35 minutes, this data will be 14 points and 12 rebounds.

But at the same time, the ultra-high number of fouls per game of 4.5 fouls cannot be completely ignored.

This is not at all the same as people imagine to conquer the NBA!

And the bloody contrast is Durant's performance in November.

26 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2 assists!

At the beginning of the new season, Durant gave people a huge surprise!

He's got stronger!

While his mid-to-long-range shooting became more and more stable, Durant's ball-handling breakthrough became even more lethal than Roy's.

The huge height difference and speed that is not inferior to that of a defender makes him one of the most difficult points on the pitch to defend!

In just one season, Durant's average shots per game surpassed Aldridge and Roy, ranking first on the team with an average of 18 shots per game!

Durant averaged 26 points per game, Roy averaged 21 points per game, Aldridge averaged 18 points per game, and the trio can contribute 65 points per game!

The entire Trail Blazers, led by the three young, are currently in second place in the West, behind Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers.

Such a fantastic start has made Kevin, the general manager of the Trail Blazers, sit on pins and needles every day.

He always felt that the team owner Paul. Allen looked at him obediently, which made him feel creepy.

Especially when the news of Oden's loss in one game came, Kevin became more and more flustered.

Everyone knows that the real credit for the pioneers' current achievements is anyone!

And that person's name will now appear in everyone's ears from time to time.

Wang Xiao!

The Harvard he led is already an invincible division of God and Buddha in the NCAA League!

Facts have proved that Wang Xiao has real materials, and his vision is probably better than many people.

And his ability is not just to look at people.

Kevin has also seen the video of Harvard's game, and he has to admit that Harvard's defense is very strong, very strong, and it's hard to imagine that this is a team that was even at the bottom of the Ivy League a year ago.

Actually, Kevin felt that he was quite wronged, and the decision to prescribe Wang Xiao was decided by the boss Paul himself, and this pot is not in him!

However, as the owner of the team, one of the richest people in the world, Paul would not have considered these issues.

He is an investor, not a professional basketball practitioner.

At that time, everyone in the team's management, including Kevin, told him that Oden was the hope of the Trail Blazers' revival, and with Oden, the Trail Blazers would have to lift the championship trophy sooner or later.

Only one young man said that Oden was not good and that Durant should be chosen.

So now the question is, why are the players that a group of you are optimistic about not as good as the players who are optimistic about others?

Although this is only the second season of Oden and Durant, it is far from the time to evaluate the value of the two.

But who is enjoying the current Trail Blazers' second-place record in the West and forget the reason why the team is in this position?

Draught does not forget to dig wells, this is a very reasonable sentence.
