Chapter 572: Dreams Start Again and Dreams Come True
Curry knew his path to this year's NCAA championship was over.
Whether UCLA is rubbing him to the ground in the P-10 league or rubbing wildly against other universities across the country in the NCAA tournament, it can be said that UCLA is invincible this year.
According to experts across the country, the last time a team had such a strong dominance in the NCAA was back at the University of Washington in 2006.
Isn't the team that can keep a single NCAA win in a single season back to the University of Washington in 2006?
In 2006, except for the University of Florida, the whole world felt that it was not a shame to lose to the University of Washington led by Yes.
And this year, for most teams in the NCAA, losing to UCLA is also acceptable, and it is a historic level of dominance.
In this year's NCAA semifinals, the University of Kansas, led by Chalmers and Darrell Arthur and Brandon Rush, was rubbed by UCLA by 30 points!
It's an NCAA semifinal!
UCLA is indeed too strong this year, and Curry has long accepted that he will lose the championship again this year.
However, it never occurred to him that the way to lose the championship was not to be defeated by the strongest team in the final, UCLA, but by Derrick Rose in the semifinals!
Derrick Rose was a nationally known talent in high school.
After coming to college, Rose was completely different from the other two of the three geniuses of Bisleymeo.
After coming to the NCAA, Beasley indulged in personal stats and singles, and the team's wins and losses seemed to have nothing to do with him.
And Mayo, a player who was dominant in high school, seemed to have been uncomfortable after coming to the NCAA, and the top 32 was swept away by the University of Kansas.
The three geniuses who were originally evenly matched, Rose rushed to the first place in an instant with his NCAA Championship performance.
Rose's performance in the NCAA is terrifying, this year, the world said that UCLA is the strongest team, and after the bloodbath in Kansas, UCLA has won all 33 NCAA games this season!
UCLA's record is really great, Afralo, Westbrook, Jordan Farmal, Kevin Love, Bamot, Collisson...... Almost every one of them is an NCAA giant!
Among them, UCLA's leading player Afflaro is the No. 1 player in the NCAA, and he is the strongman who has competed against Yes in the P-10 league.
With such a lineup, it is understandable that UCLA can have such a record.
But don't think that UCLA's magical season win record is the only one in the entire NCAA league.
In addition to UCLA, the team that won all this season was Memphis led by Ross!
Thirty-three wins in a row!
That's how Rose, a first-year college player, has a record at the University of Memphis.
And this record is also the reason why Rose can now open the gap between him and Beasleymeo.
UCLA has the strongest strength in the league, so it's understandable that it's 33 consecutive wins.
But what does the Memphis lineup look like?
There are almost no NCAA top-notch players except Rose.
Perhaps the most well-known player at Memphis University other than Rose is Rockets star Maddy's half-brother, Chauncey Maddy
With his own strength, he brought a group of second-rate or even third-rate players in the NCAA to a winning record.
Does this picture sound familiar?
If this year's UCLA is very similar to the University of Washington in 2006 in terms of dominance.
So this year's impressive performance in the NCAA by Rose definitely looks very similar to Yes in 2006!
As long as Rose leads the University of Memphis to defeat UCLA in the NCAA finals in the future, then this year's Rose will have the second greatest individual season in NCAA history!
When Rose led the University of Memphis to the NCAA semifinals, the media across the United States was expecting Rose's performance in the NCAA.
Compared with Beasleymeo, the two super geniuses who fell in the second round, Rose was the last one, and the attention that was originally scattered on the three geniuses was naturally all put on Rose.
What's more, everyone thought that in the history of the NCAA, it was impossible for anyone to come close to Yes's performance in the NCAA in the future, but Rose turned out so quickly.
If Yes used his one-year NCAA performance to establish him as a top-five player in NCAA history, then Rose will use one year to establish his top-10 NCAA all-time status as long as Rose leads the University of Memphis to a championship this year.
For such a player who has come out of nowhere, of course, everyone is quite looking forward to it.
Even Ye Si usually pays attention to this supernova at the University of Memphis.
Although Rose is not as hot in this year's NCAA as he was at the beginning, it is also rare in the past decade.
There's no doubt that Rose is the star of this year's NCAA.
And his apprentice Curry and his 'friend' Afraro are the two biggest bosses in front of Rose.
As the 'greatest' protagonist in NCAA history, Yes knows exactly how dangerous it is to be a boss in the NCAA.
Especially when the kind of boss who is pushed down by the protagonist, it is even more dangerous and suffocating.
Just imagine how miserable Redick's overthrown boss was in 2006.
Curry is naturally not as miserable as Redick.
Although in the eyes of many people, the two have similar playing styles and even similar endings, but Curry's character is much better than Redick's.
Redick was voted the most hated player in the NCAA by CBS for two consecutive years.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and it was no wonder that others.
It's just that although Curry is not as miserable as Redick after losing to Rose now, it is also relative.
If in the last decade, Redick has been the worst NCAA player, then the second worst is definitely Curry.
Curry was already swept away by Georgetown University by Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert in that incredible way last year.
If Curry had found a reason last year, he was targeted by the same group of long-handed players in Georgetown.
Then this year, there really isn't any reason for it.
Rose really blasted Curry one-on-one!
I can't even find a reason.
Last year, when Curry took the University of Washington, he was the protagonist, and although he failed in the end, he was still a failed protagonist.
And this year, Curry has gone from a failed protagonist to a failed boss, and such a transformation is indeed very uncomfortable.
After Rose defeated Curry and the University of Memphis defeated the University of Washington, the next day, almost all the headlines in the country were photos of Curry and Rose standing together, one with his hands raised and the other crouching on the ground stroking the floor of the semifinals.
As for an NBA battle that took place on the same day, the Suns defeated the Nuggets without causing any waves.
This comparison photo is the front page headline of most media in the United States, and you can add any words and contrasts you want to add to this classic photo.
Talent and mediocrity?
Glory and humiliation?
Legends and backgrounds?
……
……
Anyone can express their opinion on this photo.
Curry is now such a miserable toppled boss, and the whole country is reveling for the protagonist of victory.
After talking to Curry, Yes was relieved about Curry's status.
This apprentice of his is a man who looks weak, but in fact he is extremely strong.
After two years of humiliating failures, and losing more and more miserably every year, ordinary people have already collapsed in the face of such a situation.
It's not just one or two more players in the NCAA who have collapsed because of such failures.
"Teacher, next year, I don't want to lose any games in the NCAA!"
That's what Curry had to say to him.
Moreover, after Curry said this to him, he also said this sentence in an interview with the national media later.
Of course, all you get is endless ridicule.
"Don't want to lose any NCAA games? Curry has decided to flee! ”
"You can't play an NCAA game, and you certainly won't lose!"
"This is the funniest and funniest statement I've ever heard!"
……
……
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, as long as he is not a fool, he can see that what Curry said does not mean to escape.
Curry meant that he decided to stay in the NCAA and play for another year.
However, in the current state of Curry, the toppled boss, everything he says and does is wrong.
They don't think Curry is saying this to mean a dream to start over.
What's more, Curry has said some things that can't be achieved because of his personality before.
In addition, some time ago, almost all the media in the United States were ridiculing Curry for saying that he would not go to the NBA if he did not win the NCAA championship.
Now these two things can just be strung together in a black library.
These media are really not soft on their ridicule and blackness of Curry.
Black Yes, basically you must be slapped in the face by Yes, Yes's ability to slap your face is too strong.
Maybe it's black now, and it will be liquidated in the future.
But Black Curry, that's really not a psychological pressure at all.
Just the University of Washington without the strength of Joan Brockman and their future to win the NCAA championship?
And according to Curry's statement today, this is going to win an all-out championship like Yes or Rose or UCLA this year, is that a joke?
"Curry is constantly creating NCAA jokes, he doesn't care about his reputation at all, but he's killing Master Lorenzo Romar."
"Win all the championships next season?"
"Master Romar may have the heart to strangle Curry right now!"
"If Master Romar really wins the championship with Curry, Spencer Hawes, Pondset and Klay Thompson and Draymond Green next season, you don't have to fight about who is greater, Master Romar or Coach K, next season the University of Washington wins all the championships, and Master Romar's competitor is only John Wooden!"
After Curry lost with the University of Washington, he will be inundated with public opinion across the United States in the past two days.
Before the NCAA's new king ascended to the throne in 2008, Curry had to be inundated with such public opinion for at least two days.
Now that Curry is still in a normal mental state, Yes naturally focuses on the NBA.
Now all the public opinion in the United States is paying attention to whether Rose can finally overthrow the biggest boss and ascend the throne in the NCAA.
And the Yees and SuperSonics players are looking at the current Western Conference standings.
In the first two days, the Spurs defeated the Rockets, and the Suns took revenge on the Nuggets.
These two games have once again made a huge change in the current top-seven standings in the West.
The Suns now outrun the 65-8 Rockets again with a 66-8 record.
The Lakers have also surpassed the Nuggets with a 60-14 record and returned to the fifth place in the West.
Add to that the SuperSonics, who are now 63-11 in third place in the West, the Spurs who are 62-12 in fourth in the West, and the Grizzlies who are 58-16 in seventh in the West.
These two games have made the competition in the west even more intense.
In particular, the question of whether the seventh place in the West is the Grizzlies or the Nuggets is now heating up.
Because after the Nuggets lost to the Suns on March 31, on April 1, April Fool's Day, the Nuggets immediately returned to their home court to play the Suns again.
If the Nuggets lose this game again, it will be really unimaginable for the Nuggets!
In this home game with the Suns, if the Nuggets lose again, then the Grizzlies will be desperate to pounce!
Now that the ownership of the first and seventh places in the West has reached a white heat, this game between the Suns and the Nuggets will change a lot of things.
This game is very important, and at Ye Si's home, Ye Si and Wang Han have been in front of the TV all the time.
Looking at the Nuggets No. 15 on TV who was roaring wildly, Wang Han's face was full of shock and incredulity.
And Ye Si was also surprised, and his eyes kept flashing.
126 to 120!
The Nuggets, who are sixth in the West, beat the Suns, who are the first in the West, at home!
On TV, the stats of the players of both teams have been typed.
Nash had 27 points, 18 assists and five fouls on 11-of-16 shooting.
Smalls had 25 points, 10 rebounds, 6 turnovers and 6 fouls on 9-of-12 shooting.
Marion had 14 points, 10 rebounds and five fouls on 6-of-12 shooting.
Christian Dior shot 4-of-14 for 9 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 6 fouls.
Ragabel made 1 of 6 shots, with 5 3-pointers and 5 fouls.
The Suns' five starters carried a total of 27 fouls after a game!
The Suns' five starters were fouled 2 in a game!
YES looked at the Nuggets' technical stats, not Billups, not Hamilton, not Nene Martin Camby and J.R. Smith.
Anthony was 15-of-30 shooting, 2-of-5 three-pointers, 24-of-30 free throws, 56 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals, 11 turnovers and 5 fouls......
This is a general manifestation of running out of ammunition.
Not only are the Suns running out of ammunition, but the Nuggets are also running out of ammunition.
The two teams have played against each other to an unbelievable level in this match.
In the end, the Nuggets, who were playing at home, took their own destiny into their own hands.
And the Suns, who had just ascended to the first place in the West, once again gave up the first position to the Rockets.
"It's too much, it's so suffocating......"
"Could it be that the top seven games in the West will be of this intensity in the future?"
Wang Han's beautiful face was full of shock.
Ye Si, on the other hand, frowned.
That's the brutality of the game between the top seven in the West right now.
From this moment on, every team has no room to lose, from the Rockets to the Grizzlies, no team dares to lose.
On April 2, 2008, the NCAA finals were a relief from the current brutal regular season situation in the West.
The two teams that won all before finally decided the winner on the highest stage of the NCAA!
UCLA eventually defeated the University of Memphis 79-78.
Rose made 1 of 4 free throws in the end, and Afflaro scored a smash-off.
Rose, the gods failed.
Aflaro, a dream come true......
