031: I'm afraid the Lakers will pick him to replace me
The death group in the Western Division has whetted everyone's appetite.
That's probably why March Madness is so appealing.
The strong teams of all the leagues in the country all gathered together to decide the winner without grinding and finally deciding the strongest one.
This kind of multi-person smash brawl imagination is very exciting.
Three days after the end of Sunday Choice Day, on March 15th, the first day of the March Madness Tournament will begin.
Shay also traveled with the team to Tucson, Arizona, where the first round will be played at McCale Center, home of the Arizona Wildcats.
The NCAA March Madness tournament is a home-and-away tournament that is played on a neutral pitch.
You can understand that 64 teams are on a national tour.
As soon as Shay and his teammates got off the plane, they were chased and intercepted by reporters.
As a team with two lottery rookies at the same time, Georgetown University is naturally in the spotlight.
"Shay, you said you'd be in this year's NBA Draft, do you have an agent now?"
"Do you really think you can play in the NBA? Which team do you hope to be selected for? ”
"Can Asian players really survive in the NBA?"
The microphone of the reporters almost poked directly into Shay's mouth, and it seems that his official announcement of his participation in the draft still caused a lot of waves.
However, even though he had announced his participation in the draft, Shay still did not see any reporters from China at the scene.
No way, basketball in '91 wasn't particularly popular in China, and the NBA didn't fully spread.
In the original history, it was not until 94 that the NBA was broadcast live for the first time in China, and the regular season was broadcast live in 96.
Now people in China are still very new to the NBA.
But if I can get into the NBA, I think it will be faster.
Sitting on the team bus, Shay put down his backpack and prepared to come out with the team's playbook to review.
As a point guard, Shay must skillfully direct his teammates on the court to play a variety of tactics.
The previous game was too easy, so the tactics were actually very simple.
But in the March Madness game, it is estimated that more and more complex tactics will have to be used.
But when Shay opened his backpack, he found that he couldn't find the team's playbook.
He flipped through the pages, and only found a few magazines with big, white, and sassy covers......
Then, I also flipped through a note: "I know that you are lonely outside, so I secretly prepared some for you to survive, don't thank me."
Always support your roommates. ”
Shay:......
"You kid...... Be careful. "Beside Shay, John. Thompson glanced at the books in Shay's bag, and couldn't help but smile.
Young people are energetic.
It's right for young people to read more, but you really have too much.
Shay is hard to argue with now, coach I am really a good student!
When they arrived at the hotel, Shay and Mourning were in the same room.
Mourning's mind was full of tomorrow's game, while Shay stared at the ceiling.
Actually, of course, it's not stupid to stare at the ceiling, it's a mission!
"New Mission: 91 Strongest Mr. Xie!"
Shay:???
What a broken mission name!
"The goal: to make it out of the Western Conference and reach the Final Four. Smith & Kenny. Anderson's game, they hit below 40 percent.
Note: If you do not meet them, the task about them will be completed automatically.
Reward: A player essence. ”
Although the name of the mission is not serious, the reward of this mission makes Shay willing to be an unserious person!
In the first two missions, the quest rewards were essence shards.
This time it directly gave the players the essence.
It's a bit of a conscience to count this system.
But come to think of it, the reason why this mission is so rewarding is because it is a mission that requires multiple matches to complete.
Looking at it this way, this system is still very doggy!
However, it would be useful to be able to improve one more wave of strength before reaching the final four.
But want to put Steve. Smith and Kenny. Anderson's shooting percentage is below 40 percent, which is easier said than done.
Take Steve. Smith, for example, senior Steve. Smith has matured this season and has perfected all aspects of his technique.
No matter what defensive stance you use, he'll be able to cater to it.
He averaged 25.1 points per game, shooting 47.3 percent from the field and 40.7 percent from three-point range.
A veritable scoring maniac.
And with Billy. Owens is not the same kind of person, Steve. Smith's performance after entering the NBA is also quite good.
At his peak, he averaged 20.1 points per game on 44 percent shooting and 35 percent three-point shooting.
So Steve. Smith's instant power is very strong!
Shay suddenly felt a lot of pressure, if he couldn't get Steve. Smith, not to mention that the mission cannot be completed, it may even affect the order.
But if Shay is lucky, it's also possible that Steve. Smith was eliminated in the first round, and the two sides couldn't meet at all~
This way, the task can be completed automatically.
Crazy March, a winner or loser, anything can happen.
Day 2, Race Day!
Shay got on the team bus full of energy, and Mo Ning behind Shay had two big black circles under his eyes.
John. Thompson was taken aback: "Why did you go last night?" ”
"It's all Shay!" Mo Ning shouted innocently, causing everyone's eyes to focus on Shay.
Everyone was curious about what Shay had done to Morning last night.
Conscience of heaven and earth, Shay went to bed early last night.
It was Moning himself who found out that Shay had a good health in his bag, so he watched it under the quilt with a flashlight for a night!
Shay is really speechless, can this also be blamed on me?
Sure enough, Mo Ning, who stayed up all night, was in a very bad state today, like sleepwalking.
As soon as the game started, because of lack of concentration, he was hit by Shay's pass.
At that time, Shay was caught outside the three-point line, and Mourning was near the free throw line ready to block and pick.
Seeing that he had attracted the defense, Shay vigorously passed the ball towards Mourning.
But Mourning didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't notice the basketball flying towards him.
In this way, the basketball smashed directly into Moning's head.
Because Shay passed the ball very hard, after hitting Mo Ning, Mo Ning directly dizzy, his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks......
As soon as the scene opened, Shay and Mourning's cooperation was full of joy, and the laughter on the scene has proved how successful they are as comedians.
Since then, Mourning's form has not recovered.
His various comic performances include, but are not limited to:
grabbed the rebound, but inexplicably got out of bounds without confrontation.
The three are not sticky.
Blocking and dismantling is to block the breakthrough route of teammates tightly.
and chased the ball into his own basket as a result......
A real scorer never picks a box!
John. Thompson shook his head when he saw it, thanks to the weak strength of Georgetown's opponent Vanderbilt University today, so even if Mourning played abnormally, the team could still control the situation.
In the end, Shay scored 17 points and 11 assists, and Mutombo ate cake until he vomited, scoring 30 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks!
Mourning is amazing, 1 block, 2 walks, 3 turnovers, 4 fouls, 5 rebounds and 6 irons.
It was so smooth!
64-49, Georgetown University won the first round without any suspense.
Just after the match, Shay also learned that Michigan, the No. 5 seed, easily advanced, and they were not eliminated in the first round.
And this also means that the fifth seed and the fourth seed will meet in the second round!
Steve. Smith was as good as ever in this game, finishing with 28 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 10-of-21 shooting.
Moreover, it can be seen that Steve. Smith didn't use all his strength.
Just an understatement of 28 points.
As the magician's junior, Steve. Smith has always been known as the "little magician".
Although he and the magician's style is completely different, this does not affect the media to forcibly tie the two together.
And Shay is also known as the "Chinese magician".
So, the reporters found the magician himself and asked him who he was more optimistic about in the next game.
The magician is, of course, a supportive alma mater and a junior.
"You don't know Steve. How strong is Smith if Shay is good enough to beat Steve. Smith's words, then I'm afraid the Lakers will choose him to replace me hahaha. ”
The Magic made a joke, and his answer also drew more attention to the matchup between the two Magic in the NCAA.
In fact, Lakers management is really curious about how good this Shay is.
Although the Lakers are a championship team this season, they do not have a particularly high draft pick, and they have no plans to bring in a high pick.
But it is always necessary to observe and observe.
When people are talking about Shay and Steve. During Smith's showdown, Michigan Marshal John Brown, who had cultivated a magician. Hurt, however, focused his next game win on Mourning.
Mourning's poor performance today was, to be honest, not what Hurt expected.
He has already discovered that this guy Mo Ning is a typical civil war insider, and a foreign war layman.
Playing within the Great East League, he's really doing well.
But when it comes to the NCAA tournament, especially in major competitions, Mourning's performance is hard to describe.
Take, for example, last year's Georgetown game against UNLV.
Before being sent off, Mourning only scored seven points and made four turnovers on 2-of-5 shooting.
He didn't even dare to make a move!
Even if he doesn't get sent off, with his form, it's actually hard to contribute to the team.
So tomorrow, Hurt decided to let Mourning go and use two inside lines to flank Mutombo in advance and cut off the connection between Shay and Mutombo.
Mutombo is not a very scoring player, and Michigan State also has a center who can play in the NBA in the future. Peprosky.
If he is used to carry Mutombo, supplemented by a bag, he will definitely be able to completely block the attack of Georgetown!
As for Michigan's own offense......
Don't worry about that at all, just hand the damn ball to Steve!
As for what Chinese magicians, it's just hype.
Why did Shay suddenly become popular, and why did he suddenly have so many media reports?
Isn't it all Stern's little Jewish old man's doing, he wants to go crazy if he wants to open up the international market, and he must have to hype up a few international players.
There are so many stars out of this hype every year, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Magician Orthodox, in Michigan University!
