Chapter 25 – Reaching the Round of 16
After the re-appearance, the two sides continued the rhythm of the first half.
The game ended with Stanford University leading Kansas State by 22 points at 92-70, and the impact of this game that attracted the attention of the whole United States was also significant, Beasley scored 41 points on the inside and outside shooting under the deliberate relaxation of the defense of Stanford, improving his 40+ performance in a single season to 4 times, and 13 rebounds were second only to Brooke. Lopez's 15 rebounds were second-in in the game. Another core of Kansas State University, Bill. Walker's game was extremely uncomfortable, playing nearly 30 minutes, 8 points and 5 turnovers, even though he grabbed 8 rebounds, but as the team's other core guard swingman, his performance on the offensive end was simply disastrous.
Stanford University, on the winning side, played excellent team basketball under the leadership of Li Yao, with Brooke's 25 points and 15 rebounds, Robin's 9 points and 9 rebounds, and Jackson's 13 points and 3 steals (all steals came from Bill. Walker), 15 points from shooting guard Henry and Lee Ya's own 12 points and 20 assists, the perfect team to play Kansas State suffered.
"Oh my god, what do I see? Lee's assists are up to 20 again? You know, this is the NCAA's round of 32, and they are not facing the teams in the minor leagues before them, they are the elite teams in all the divisional leagues who come here, if it weren't for Stanford's big lead in the end, Kansas State University gave up resistance, and God knows if Lee, the wonder boy, would have broken and saved the single-game assist record again. Looking at the technical statistics in his hand, Barkley expressed his shock, although he already knew in the game that Li Yao would not have fewer assists today, but after seeing the real-time data, Barkley was still taken aback.
Although Stanford University won the final victory, Beasley of Kansas State University was the strongest contender for the top pick, with 41 points and 13 rebounds. Let us thank both sides for the wonderful showdown we have brought us. "Barkley blew out Stanford, Kenny. Smith couldn't just watch, and fortunately, Beasley's powerful data gave him the capital to blow it.
Looking at Beasley, who was obviously unconvinced, Li Yao smiled and said in his heart, "I'm still young, Sao Nian." He took advantage of Beasley's habitual habit of being an offensive endpoint to limit Kansas State's play, and if Beasley had been able to get the basketball out there at the right time, I don't believe Stanford would have won the game as easily. That's why Beasley, even though he was the No. 1 firepower on the inside during his time with the Timberwolves, was eventually replaced by Love and Rubio, the two new cores of the Timberwolves.
In any case, in this elite matchup, it was Stanford University where Li Yao had the last laugh, and Li Yao's performance in revitalizing the team in the whole game was in stark contrast to Beasley's performance despite his terrifying statistics but unable to revive the whole team. The NBA scouts in the stands also passed their analysis to their uniform team for the first time, but Li Yao, as a party, did not know that he had received a higher evaluation in the eyes of these scouts, and believed that after the next mock draft came out, Li Yao's ranking would be further improved.
"Congratulations, Li Yao, not only did you win the game, but as far as I got the news I just got, the NBA scouts present have praised you a lot, and I think your ranking will be further improved." Just when Li Yao was packing up and preparing to leave, a shadow appeared in their dressing room, the person who came was Shen Qian, who had seen her a while ago, the hip skirt was still the hip skirt, and the difference was that Shen Qian's silk today. Socks were replaced with meat. Silk, the kind of silk that is close to the skin tone. The socks looked even more attractive, Li Yao suddenly shouted in his heart, he really wanted to go up and ask: Little sister, aren't you cold in March? Thinking about Margot Robbie's jeans at that time when he had negative distance contact with him, Li Yao was sad for a while, why can't the acquaintance of the two be delayed any longer, if the day is in the hot spot, think about the beautiful legs in net stockings when Margot Robbie played the harley girl in the previous life, Li Yao regretted it greatly.
"Thank you." Li Yao said, his hands were not idle, and he put the satchel in his hand in front of him, because he felt that his second brother seemed to have the intention of rebellion.
"So, do you have any thoughts about the upcoming Beijing Olympics?" Shen Qian didn't know Li Yao's small movements, she asked the topic that Chinese netizens were most concerned about.
"As a Chinese, it is my obligation and responsibility to fight for the country, but the specific situation needs to wait for me to be informed." For entering the Chinese basketball team, in fact, Li Yao has reservations, after all, he heard a lot of bad news in his previous life, why do you want to enter the national team must pay a training fee, Li Yao expressed his displeasure, which athlete is not on his own? If you say that the basketball association is cultivated by the country, it will become your credit, and you will also collect the hard-earned money of the players, Li Yao said that if you dare to ask for your own money, he will dare to surprise you.
"Great, I believe that with your outside line and Da Yao, Space Yi, and the existence of the Great Wall of the general inside line, we will definitely go further in the Olympic Games, and I believe that the full-court tight defense that has plagued the Chinese men's basketball team for many years is not terrible." Shen Qian saw with her own eyes how Li Yao's full-court tight defense in the second half of Kansas State University today was an understatement.
"Actually, it's actually very simple to break the full-court pressing defense." Hearing the word "the whole audience is pressing", Li Yao said that he couldn't help but drive.
"What's the solution?" Shen Qian was immediately excited when she heard Li Yao say that it was very simple, after all, this is the existence that has plagued the Chinese men's basketball team for a long time, although everyone has thought of a lot of ways, but it has not worked.
"Of course it's 'breaking the press with the ball in both hands.'" When Li Yao said this sentence again, he seemed to hear a train sound in his ears.
"Breaking the ball with both hands?" Shen Qian expressed her confusion, didn't Li Yao do this just now, and wouldn't this violate the law before half the game?
"Ahem, the specific situation will be shown to you in person next time if I encounter this situation." Looking at Shen Qian's pure and puzzled eyes, Li Yao said that he was a little excessive, (Author: Isn't it too much for you to say that you want to demonstrate it to others?) Li Yao: What did you say? I'm too pure to understand. Author: Pharmacy Bilian)
"Okay, so what are your prospects for the next results?" Shen Qian, who got Li Yao's reply, was no longer entangled, anyway, he would show it to himself, so he asked Li Yao about his next goal.
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a champion is not a good cook." Li Yao replied casually.
"What?" Shen Qian said that Li Yao said too quickly, and she didn't hear it clearly.
"Well, since we are the champions as players, we will continue to work hard for this goal." Li Yao reacted that he inadvertently talked about the joke in his previous life, and immediately changed his tone and said with a serious face.
"Then hopefully you can achieve your goals." Shen Qian sincerely wished Li Yao, and she also hoped that a Chinese could win the highest glory trophy of the NCAA.
"Now that the interview is over, can I have a cup of coffee with the beautiful Ms. Shen Qian?" After the interview, Li Yao couldn't help but smile when he looked at Shen Qian, who was about to leave, but after finishing speaking, he couldn't wait to slap himself, obviously he couldn't stand the temptation, and he actually took the initiative to tease other girls, which was like death.
"Okay, I'll be fine anyway." Shen Qian, who was originally thinking of going back to catch up with the manuscript, didn't know why the words turned into agreeing to Li Yao's invitation, and she couldn't help but feel a heat in her cheeks.
Li Yao was also stunned by Shen Qian's reply, he was just casually talking, who knew that the girl really agreed, which would be embarrassing, Li Yao said that he was really afraid of something, but since everyone else agreed, how could Li Yao, as a big man, back down?
So after Li Yao and Coach Trent Johnson took a leave of absence, the two made an appointment to go to a coffee shop not far away, remembering Jackson's joking whistle when the two left and Shen Qian, who couldn't go down with the blush on his face now, Li Yao regretted that he was sloppy at that time.
"But it's really a seductive stunner." Li Yao looked at Shen Qian's shy expression, as well as the hot body that did not match the expression at this time, Li Yao couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.
"Are you the only one in the Basketball Herald?" There were only Li Yao and Li Yao in the empty café, because of what happened just now, a trace of awkward atmosphere permeated the two of them, and Li Yao had to take the lead in breaking the silence.
"Of course not, there are a lot of seniors, but everyone has a full-time task object."
"So it means that I, a rookie, is the target of you, a rookie?" Li Yao asked with a grin. From Shen Qian's words, he also heard that other reporters should be interviewing those big stars, and Shen Qian was sent to interview him.
"No, it's just..." Shen Qian didn't know how to explain it, after all, she was indeed a rookie reporter.
"Okay, look at your nervous look, if someone interviews me, I'm not satisfied, I like to let you, a rookie, interview me." Seeing Shen Qian's somewhat nervous appearance, Li Yao also knew that she had misunderstood her joke, and immediately comforted, but who knew that as soon as his words came out, the atmosphere of this coffee shop's ambiguous song suddenly changed, and looking at Shen Qian's shy appearance again, Li Yao knew that something bad was wrong.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Li Yao, who wanted to change the topic, turned out to say stupid things again that wanted him to slap himself.
"No, I've just graduated from college." Li Yao was very speechless when he heard Shen Qian's explanation, do you have that friend who has anything to do with you just graduated from college?
Li Yao thought about it and decided not to tease this cute little girl, so as not to cause trouble.
