Chapter 137: Advance to the Final Four

In fact, the NBA draft network will also look at many people, and a group of people who were unknown before have become famous and entered the list after nearly half a month of tournaments. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This makes these players who are facing the pressure of finding a job after graduating from college ecstatic, knowing that even the 30th pick in the second round is signed a guaranteed contract, and compared to the rest of the social work, this job is obviously more lucrative.

However, the NBA Draft.com's evaluation of rookies will not be judged from just one game, more often than not, they will consider the potential of the players. They have a demand for instant power, but it only accounts for a small fraction of the players, and usually this part of the player ranks are not too high. The remaining players are non-NCAA international players who have their own international draft rankings and are judged differently.

Li Dong, as an authentic Chinese, entered the top 15 of the draft prediction network in one go, which is undoubtedly an extremely sensational thing, his rise is unstoppable, and his name, avatar and news are constantly scrolling on major domestic portals, and his popularity is getting deeper and deeper.

And Li Dong's hometown TV station like Henan TV saw at a glance Li Dong's incomparable weight in the hearts of Henan fans, and a plane flew to the United States and urgently won the NCAA semifinals, including the finals

The day before the Final Four, the Associated Press voted the NCAA Player of the Year, and unfortunately, Kelly Oubre was only in third place, followed by the highly samored Carl Anthony Towns in second place and Frank Kaminsky of the University of Wisconsin in first place. There's also good reason why Kaminski won the NCAA Player of the Year award, averaging 22 points and 9.3 rebounds per game and almost single-handedly knocking the University of Wisconsin out of Kentucky to the Final Four.

Kelly Kaminsky is first of all inferior in statistics, and secondly, when it comes to the ability to lead the team, Li Dong's strength has been recognized, not to mention that there are fierce generals like Ryan Adams, in comparison, it is not as amazing as Turner.

However, the NCAA Coach of the Year was won by Coach Beal, and the old man smiled all day long, and seemed quite satisfied with the award. The reason for his selection is even more convincing, after Andrew Wiggins and others participated in the NBA draft, an underdog's team actually played the best record in school history, so it is reasonable to give him this award.

Li Dong didn't get mixed up with anything, but was ranked in the NCAA All-American Team that year, and was also voted the best rookie of the year by the contender website. is the best newcomer on Yahoo website, and the selection is also freshman Carl Anthony Towns, who averaged 20.9 points, 13.4 rebounds and 6.2 blocks per game in the regular season, and Li Dong, who averaged only 13.8 points, 5.7 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game.

As soon as the time turned, it was April 4th, and the two semi-finals started one after another!

Li Dong's University of Kansas was going to take the lead in playing against the University of Wisconsin, and after the players of the two teams were gearing up, they opened up on this field of less than 500 square meters......

The University of Wisconsin is the No. 2 seed in the division and the closest team to normal strength that Kansas has faced so far.

There are two players on their team that are worth noting, one is the star of the house, Frank Kaminsky who plays as a center, who averages 22 points and 9.3 rebounds per game, and the other is Sam Decker, who is tall and long-armed!

There is no doubt about the strength of the two men, especially Kaminski, who just scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds on the head of the favorite Kentucky, leaving Karl Anthony Towns disgraced.

Facing a favorite like the University of Kansas, the mentality of the University of Wisconsin is surprisingly stable.

"Beware of the No. 9 on the opposite side, he's the point of attack at the University of Kansas!" Before the game, the head coach of the University of Wisconsin repeatedly stressed this to Sam Decker, and from their professional point of view, Li Dong is now a greater threat than Kelly Oubre, who can score a lot of points in a game.

"Don't worry, Coach!" Sam Decker smiled happily and looked confident.

As a result, only four minutes into the game, Li Dong burst into three of them, and each breakthrough caused the University of Wisconsin's defense to lose position, although the University of Kansas failed to grasp the opportunity of the vacant position, but it really made the head coach break out in a cold sweat.

As a result, his Diaoyutai immediately couldn't sit steadily, ran over and called a timeout, and turned back to arrange the team's 1.3.1 joint defense tactics.

"Joint defense!" Li Dong's eyes lit up when he returned to the court, and the changes in the defensive tactics of the University of Wisconsin were clear in his eyes, and several players were standing very delicately in the horn area, looking at their side from time to time, with malicious looks in their eyes.

"I'm not that stupid." After Li Dong muttered, he handed the ball to the Kelly Oubre organization who was mentioned on the line, opened up the space by himself, and ran towards the bottom line.

He is well aware that he is ready to run to the bottom corner and use the baseline to break through to deal with the joint defense of the University of Wisconsin.

As a result, he looked back, almost didn't jump up in anger, and Kelly Oubre, who received the ball, didn't pay attention to him at all, and after a fake pass, he broke through the defender's backhand, and then broke through to the elbow area and found that there were too many enemies in front of him, and a dashing mid-range jumper.

"Holy...... Hey, I'm actually in, count you up! Li Donggang wanted to scold, but found that the basketball fell into the basket steadily, and immediately choked the words back into his stomach.

When Kelly Oubre returned to defense, he reached out to high-five Li Dong, but Li Dong glared at him and slapped his palm reluctantly.

"The opposite side is playing joint defense, I don't know what joint defense tactics will be in the next round, try to listen to my command." Li Dong said unceremoniously.

"Okay, okay, understand." Kelly Oubre nodded, looking like he humbly admitted his mistake.

Li Dong is simply speechless, he is simply Alexander as a point guard. Many of these black basketball players are still willing to rely on simple and crude offense to solve the game, and many times they are unreasonable to advance.

For example, after coming back, the attacking side of the University of Wisconsin, Ibanks, the offense is simply not good, after receiving the ball, he broke through on the spot, and then hit a basket on the board against Anderson, and he also hit.

In fact, Li Dong himself did not find that in the year of college, many of his technical actions were also selectively forgotten, and in such a basketball cultural atmosphere, he sometimes had too much adrenaline secretion, and would choose some seemingly irrational offensive methods, such as riding Bobby Portis before, such as hitting Gordon before and knocking him to pieces. And the effect achieved is not only to get two points, but also to skyrocket the morale of the players on the field!

Li Dong doesn't know morale, but he knows that these blacks sometimes quickly enter a violent state because they complete a dunk, and their strength is several times stronger than in the previous ordinary state. In college competitions, many times because of a sudden outbreak, you lose the lead, or even fall into a desperate situation.

So how to motivate his teammates to fight, he knows it all in his mind, and this is also the basketball philosophy he realized after becoming the team commander.

After halftime, the two teams were evenly matched, with the University of Kansas leading by just three points.

The University of Wisconsin is also not good at hanging the ground, although there are no complicated tactics, but it can grasp many opportunities on the field, in the first half of the 8 conversion attacks, Wisconsin played 7 times, the only time was because Li Dong back.

The real showdown was in the second half.

Li Dong didn't dare to hide his secrets, and when he saw that it was difficult for Ryo Adams to get outstanding opportunities, he decisively occupied his share of the right to shoot and attacked with the ball himself.

The two teams were still anxiously tied at 58 until the final five minutes.

After the game, Kaminski was unconvinced: "The University of Kansas just made a shot at the crucial moment, which is not a big deal, we didn't score a few goals, so we lost the game." "What that means is that the University of Kansas didn't obviously push them down, but we didn't shoot in the last minute and we lost the opportunity to play.

Kelly Oubre sneered after hearing this: "I laughed, isn't this kind of grasp of the key ball a reflection of the team's strength?" Our Super Winter is an invincible big heart, you look at his two shots at the last moment, so hot-blooded, so calm, like a snow wolf with fangs exposed! “

Coach Beal had a headache for Kelly Oubre, and after the Final Four, the NCAA arranged a simple press conference for the two teams, but I didn't expect this guy to be so unreassuring, and the war of words with Kaminsky made the media who finally got the opportunity to be interviewed.

Look at Li Dong, how quiet it was during the media conference.

Li Dong was drunk: "Actually, these two forced to speak too fast, and they haven't practiced labor English to the level of rapping, how can you let me interject?" (To be continued.) )
