Scott Brooks' desk sits the cactus balls that the team has freshly ordered for him, with a few pale yellow stamens in the middle of the flowers, exuding an incomprehensible fragrance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Smack!" He put down the scouting report in his hand, rubbed his head, and leaned back in the rocking chair behind him.

The Thunder had a hard time this season, after the All-Star break, the difficult schedule and the injury of the players, the team's record plummeted, and now it is only in the eighth place in the West, with a win rate of only about 50%, and the playoffs are getting farther and farther away. You know, in the first two seasons, the Thunder was still an excellent team in the West, and even fought five games in the Finals with the Heat, who won the championship last year.

"It's hard!" Scott Brooks took a deep puff of his cigarette, snuffed it out in the ashtray, and then exhaled a large puff of smoke and let out a sigh of emotion.

Seeing that the playoffs are hopeless, the team's old coach is not guaranteed, and if he continues to look dead next season, it is estimated that he will be attacked next.

"Fifty percent win rate, fish belly, rotten, lotto." Stefansch's mind kept racing through his mind, and it was hard to make up his mind between rushing for a respectable win to quell the anger of the fans and winning the June draft pick could change the team's fortunes.

His eyes fell on the pre-draft player reports that the Thunder scouts had gathered for him on the table.

His breathing grew rapid, as if he had seen some rare treasure, and his eyes glowed faintly, "If it's really like Clay said, then it seems that it is okay to give it a go!" ”

Stefanski remembered the glory days of the current Rockets owner, since the selection of Yao Ming in 02, it has become a team with a huge population market. The so-called making money to earn hand cramps refers to this Alexander who was hit by a pie and became the envy of most NBA bosses.

If the Thunder can become like the Rockets, then their position is not as stable as the Pacific Ocean? Stephański shook his head vigorously, throwing the tantalizing thought out of his mind.

"First of all, he has to have the strength to become an All-Star and become Yao!" Stefanski knows very well that the NBA is wrapped in a glamorous commercial atmosphere, but it is still a competitive league in essence, and fans always focus on the strong, and players with good work ethics always care about winning the game.

His fingers ran over the player's report on the table, and the two-inch photo showed the sunny and bright smile of the young man.

Li Dong ...... University of Kansas main point guard ...... Big Twelve League Champions...... Interesting, interesting~"

……

After the regular season of the league, it is the well-known league tournament.

And the time has officially entered March!

In the Big Twelve Conference Championship, the University of Kansas, as the top four in the league's regular season, directly enters the quarterfinals, and the other twelve teams, the ninth to sixteenth seeds, participate in the first round, and then compete with the fifth seed to the eighth seed to determine four places.

This tournament is somewhat similar to the warm-up tryouts before March Madness, where tournament winners from all 31 leagues automatically earn a spot in the March Madness NCAA National Tournament.

Of course, for the University of Kansas, which is so strong this season, even if they fail to win the league championship, the NCAA's official selection committee will definitely select them into the final 65 spots in the tournament, after all, the latter is now the number one spot in the national rankings.

Strange to say, the University of Kansas may really have swept the entire Big 12 League this season, in the quarterfinals, the West Virginia University Mountaineers, who came up in the first two rounds of dark horse posture, were blasted out by the University of Kansas 17-4 shock wave at the beginning, and the momentum of the No. 14 seed dark horse was suppressed at once.

After that, the University of Kansas easily won the quarterfinals and advanced to the Final Four of the Big Twelve Conference Championship.

The top four are also old faces from previous leagues, such as the Kansas State University Wildcats, such as the Iowa State University Whirlwinds, and the University of Texas Longhorns.

However, the victory still belongs to the University of Kansas, Kelly Oubre is like a hanging, indulging in his superhuman physical talent on the court, and what is even more commendable is that he also has a good ball control technique and long-range shooting ability, and basically there is no forward who can compete with him in the NCAA.

At the finals of the Big Twelve League Tournament, the University of Kansas once again met the University of Texas.

Including the warm-up games, this is the fourth time the two teams have met this season, and in the NBA, only teams in the same division have such a record of fighting so often.

The new hatred and old hatred are counted together, and the two teams are simply red-eyed.

It's a pity that Li Dong is like a bitter master of the University of Texas, and he came out again, scoring 23 points and 12 assists, shattering the University of Texas' dream of winning the league championship.

Miles Turner left the arena depressed, tripped and almost fell as he went out.

He felt that nothing good would happen to the University of Kansas, and seeing the NCAA National Championship open, he wouldn't meet them again in a qualifying tournament, right?

Turner was faintly aching, and his desire to participate in the draft was unprecedentedly strong......

At the same time, the outside media strongly promoted the three main forces of the University of Kansas, and with the help of some people, Li Dong officially surpassed Ryo Adams and ranked behind Kelly Oubre as the second key figure in the University of Kansas. The draft market of the two men, after defeating Kansas State University, has reached the top 15, Kelly Oubre is ranked 9th, and Li Dong is 14th.

On March 17, the NCAA National Championship officially began.

The opening match was Merwinslott University vs. Kansas Lind, the traditional 65-team qualifier before the two teams met each other, not because of how strong the stars were on their team, but because the selection committee ranked the two teams as the weakest.

The weakest team must have the weakest consciousness, and the dark horse is not so easy to be.

But the good news is that at least on the day of the much-anticipated opening game, only two of them played each other, and the exposure was simply 100 percent.

The University of Kansas is placed in the East Division and is the No. 2 seed in the entire East Division.

After the opening game, on the 19th, 32 teams competed on the basketball court at the same time, and the NCAA tournament in March Madness entered a hot state in an instant.

The next day, the No. 2 seed at the University of Kansas faced Belmont, the No. 15 seed in the Eastern Conference.

75-47, the gap between the two teams was too great, and the strong University of Kansas defeated the team that received a full range of media attention on the opening day without much effort.

At the same time, the remaining 30 teams are ranked according to the seed, and the high position plays against the low position, and the battle is brutal.

Under this system, losing one game means that you can only go home to fish, which can be called crazy to the extreme.

And the dark horse has become the most eye-catching term in March Madness, everyone worships civilian heroes, and everyone wants to see the good show of the sling's counterattack.

……

Soon after, the second round was played on March 21, with 16 of the 32 teams to decide the victory, all battling it out on the basketball court at the same time.

The frequency of the battles is comparable to the back-to-back games in the NBA, and the crazy name has once again shocked the world.

Especially because of Li Dong, Chinese fans who began to pay attention to the NCAA game were even more surprised, before that, fans' perception of March Madness was only stuck in the suffix of March, but they did not realize that the key to this is actually the word crazy.

On the 22nd, the University of Kansas Pine Hawks played against the No. 8 seed Virginia Commonwealth University Rams and won easily 87-65.

In the first half, the Commonwealth of Virginia was still able to hang tightly behind the University of Kansas 28-32, but in the second half, Li Dong suddenly broke out and scored 8 points in a row, leading the team to play a 15-2 shock wave, and locked the leading position of the game, and the difference was once pulled to 30 points.

Li Dong met Virginia Commonwealth University's main center on the court, the 7-foot-tall center Robert, who performed well in this game, scoring 18 points, 9 rebounds and 4 steals, and single-handedly turned the Kansas interior line upside down, which is the biggest reason why Virginia Commonwealth University took the lead in the first half.

"If I had Ryo, I wouldn't necessarily lose!" When Robert talked to Li Dong at the end of the game, he said viciously that he was helpless to Ryan Adams, who shot 6 three-pointers in the second half, but he was not convinced by Li Dong.

Li Dong was stunned, but he was not angry, thinking that this big man was quite funny.

After the game, Li Dong heard the biggest news that happened in the NCAA today!

Villanova University, which was previously ranked No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and one of the University of Kansas' long-time imaginary rivals, lost to Ohio State University, the No. 9 seed! (To be continued.) )
