103. Difficult defenders

Carmelo Anthony is the undisputed Knicks star. Since his arrival with the Knicks, he has averaged no less than 20 points per game, and this season, he became the 40th player in NBA history to score more than 20,000 points. This season, he still maintains superstar stats of 24 points, 3 assists and 6 rebounds.

In the NBA, it's hard to keep 20+ points for five years in a row.

As the star of the Knicks, Anthony is of course well aware that his team needs fresh blood, because this is the second season that they have not made the playoffs, and they have set the ugliest regular season record in team history, and they are already sure that they will not be able to win 20 games this season, considering that last year, they still had 37 wins.

So he said unabashedly: "Yes, our team does take this Chinese boy as a target, but as far as I know, if the team can draw the top three picks, we will give priority to an inside line, even if we get the 4th to 6th signing, we will still give priority to locking a big man in Europe, as for this Chinese boy, we were going to use the trade to get a sign around the 8th place, but now it seems impossible, after all, his ranking prediction has risen to about 5, So I won't necessarily be teammates with him. ”

"Oh! Cameron, you actually told us about your team's draft strategy, you wait, I'll go back and tell our boss! Chris Paul laughs.

"Hah! Dear Chris, go ahead, tell Rivers that guy, even if you tell him, he didn't have the right to grab people from us, you Clippers are very good this year, they actually played second place in the regular season, as for the Heat, although they have booked the lottery zone, but their record is too good to pose a threat to grab people with us, and I don't think there is a need for a guard in a team with Dwyane, and a guard who can't accelerate with the ball. Anthony said with a smile.

At this time, the Lions and Blue Devils players have entered the stadium one after another to warm up, as soon as Li Wu entered, the Lucas Oil Stadium sounded the cheers of the mountain and the tsunami, most of the cheers came from the Chinese who occupied nearly a quarter of the stadium, this seat was dyed red, red T-shirts, red national flags, red recruitment banners.

James said: "Cameron, people are going to improve, when I first entered the league, my shooting and back shot were rotten like shit, but now it's good. I think it's the same with this Chinese kid, he can't never accelerate with the ball all his life, maybe it only takes one summer, he can develop this technology, and ....." The emperor pointed to the audience: "Chinese market, understand?" I heard that ESPN has sold the rights to broadcast in China to a Chinese social media company, which means that starting next year, there will be at least one more American audience in the world to watch us play, and if Chinese love basketball more, maybe three or four more American audiences. In this case, you know how lucky you are to have a Chinese player. ”

"Aha! LeBron, first of all my say, now your back punches and projections have been like shit. Anthony finished laughing, Wade and Paul both laughed, only to hear Anthony continue: "Secondly, everyone loves the Chinese market, but if the team has no record, it means that the market is cold, and you should know which one is more important to the team in terms of the proportion of broadcast fees and tickets." The broadcast fee guarantees our salary cap, and the ticket guarantees the team's profitability. ”

At this time, the live DJ began to introduce the players, among them, Okafor and Li Wu received the biggest cheers, James shrugged his shoulders and smiled and said: "If the Cavaliers have a top 5 pick, I will not hesitate to pick this Chinese kid." He's a defender who can open up space. And he doesn't really need a lot of ball. ”

"If you're willing to trade Kyrie-Irving, you can easily trade for this year's No. 1 pick." Wade said.

"That can't be, he's the future of knights." James shook his head.

At this point, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game. Favourite Okafor showed his aggressiveness from the start, taking possession of the ball from Osette Kowski's head during the scrum, and the Blue Devils' starting point guard, Tyles Jones, was on the ball, and the 185cm tall point guard carried the ball into the Lions' half of the court at an even pace and handed the ball to small forward Justis Winslow on the wing.

Winslow, who is 198cm tall, faced Cohen, who is only 193 tall, with a diagonal dribble and used his body to force the inside, and then forced a layup at Ossetkowski, which directly caused a foul on Ossetkowski.

"Hey! Although the Blues are a little less talented than Kentucky overall, there are still two top-10 picks predicted, one is Manor favorite Jahir Okafor, and the other is Justis Winslow, who just caused a kill under the Lions' basket, who is 198 tall but weighs 104 kilograms, is strong, impactful, athletic and defensive, and if I remember correctly, his pick prediction is around 10. O'Neill said.

"yes, Shaq, you remember right, his pick prediction is between 9 and 11, and he's averaging 12.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists per game this season, and he's also averaging 1.2 steals per game, what does that mean? Meaning he's a tough defender! He's also quick to start up, and I think Coach K is going to let him take on the task of defending Lee alone, and I think it's one of the toughest defenders Lee has ever had in the entire NCAA. Kenny said.

As Kenny had guessed, after receiving a pass from Maodore at halftime, Winslow and Quinn Cook, the shooting guard, switched positions and pressed Li Wu.

Li Wu dribbled back two times, trying to use his one-step speed to shake off Winslow's entanglement, but Winslow's lateral movement speed was fast, although slightly slower than Li Wu, but he used his stride and arm span to block Li Wu's cutting route, so that Li Wu's attempt to pass this time failed.

The rest of the Lions' players are now in their own shooting hot zone, and because of the failure of Li Wu's breakthrough, everyone is standing in place, allowing the Lions' offense to be blocked.

As Kenny Smith said, Li Wu met one of the toughest defenders in the NCAA.
