After the game, Suhi and Carmelo Anthony stood together as they were surrounded by the New York media, with long guns and short guns pointed at them, and the spotlights flashed incessantly.

There is no doubt that the two of them are the brightest stars of New York sports this year.

When Coach Jim passed by, he also said loudly, "Treat our twin stars of Syracuse University well." ”

This is the first time Coach Jim has spoken publicly about the 'twin stars'.

Before that, he hadn't even said McNabara's name on a par with Carmelo Anthony, which he had promised when he was recruited. He assured Carmelo Anthony that Syracuse was his one-man team and that he was the absolute core. Absolutely no name such as one inside and one outside dual core, or gold twin guns.

Without these demanding conditions, Cameron would not necessarily join.

But now, Anthony doesn't mind Jim Boham saying something like that at all.

While his potential agent team would feel that such publicity would take away Anthony's starlight, but... This is Suhiye the sheep!

Jack has done so much for me, shouldn't I praise him?

Carmelo Anthony naturally took over the topic: "Yes, that's right. Jack is my most important partner, and together we are like Michael Jordan and Scott Pippen, like Batman always has Robin by his side. ”

Anthony elevates Sushi to the height of 'Pippen'.

Then, the reporter asked 'Syracuse Pippen': "Jack, we've noticed that since you played this game, Syracuse's decline has come to a halt quickly. You put on a beautiful defense and gave Auburn University a surgical operation with offensive skills that had never been shown before. You've also got the highest points of the season. Excuse me, did you deliberately conceal your offensive methods before? Want to give them a surprise attack? ”

Suhi raised an eyebrow. He calmly replied, "I don't need to deliberately hide anything. Before, the team didn't need me to attack, so I didn't attack. Gerry was injured in an accident tonight and Anthony needed an assistant, so I did the work. ”

This answer came as a surprise to the media.

This quote shows that Suhi is a perfect team player and he doesn't care about his stats.

It's a huge plus in the minds of the media and for potential NBA scouts.

Because the NBA needs not only shining superstars, but also team players who work hard and do the dirty work.

Suhi shows that potential.

That's a plus for a potential draft market.

Many of the NCAA's amazing talents have no room to play in the NBA, and they leave in disgrace because they can't do the dirty work.

The media then asked Carmelo Anthony a few questions, most importantly some NBA questions. New York media asked Carmelo Anthony if he would like to keep his talent in New York.

Anthony did Tai Chi with a smile on his face.

Anthony's smile is contagious, and his popularity is very high.

However, when he stood with Suhee. The women still prefer to look at Su Xi a few more times, after all, in the face of absolute handsomeness, cuteness is worthless.

After about 10 minutes, CBS threw the question to Suhi.

He asked a continuation question: "Jack, after this game, do you think there is a genius at Auburn?" Do they excite you? Also, your next opponent will be the University of Oklahoma, the No. 1 team in the BIG-12 league, what do you expect from them? Do you think they can stop you from making it to the Final Four? ”

"Auburn certainly has a lot of talented players, but if you're referring to a talented player like Cameron. My answer is no. ”

Su Xi said very dryly. And he raised Anthony's hand.

This made Anthony smile knowingly.

"The University of Oklahoma is said to be stronger than Oklahoma State University, and I'm looking forward to playing against them."

Suhee's answer was even.

Compared with his previous interviews, there are no new breaking points.

At this time, an Asian face stepped forward and asked one last question: "Jack, I'm a reporter for Sports Illustrated, and I want to ask you, now that you're getting better and better, will you choose to bring your talent to the NBA?" ”

"I'm not going to bring my talent to the NBA, I'm going to go to the NBA to activate my talent," Suhi said. I'm a strong person. To be honest, there really isn't much more talent in the NCAA that can activate my gifts. ”

Suhi's words are very sincere.

But for the media, this sentence is the breaking point of the finishing touch.

They waited so long for Suhi's words.

When Suhi returned to the hotel, he saw footage from a post-match interview on a local New York television station covering the game. He saw his conversation being edited.

“… (Does Auburn have any talented players?) If you're referring to a talented player like Cameron, my answer is no..."

"Honestly, there's really nothing more talent in the NCAA that can bring out my natural talent."

"I'm not going to bring my talent to the NBA, I'm going to go to the NBA to activate my talent."

"I'm a strong person."

When Sushi saw that his interview was edited like this, he felt that he was an unruly person.

"Jack, these media reports like this, it's easy for you to become the target of public criticism." Carmelo Anthony said worriedly.

"It doesn't matter." Su Xi replied calmly: "This is also what I want to see." ”

Carmelo Anthony has maintained respect for Suhey's strong mentality, and he asked himself if he was so entertained by the media, he would definitely go berserk.

…

Two days later, the Final Four match between Syracuse University and the University of Oklahoma was held at Madison Garden.

There were three NBA superstars in attendance for the game, namely Shaq O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan.

The Sharks and Duncan are the top two superstars in the league today, and since Jordan's retirement, they have both monopolized the championship.

Kobe Bryant is the league's favorite Peter Pan, although in the popularity ranking of the four quarterbacks, he is sometimes lower than Iverson, sometimes below Carter, and sometimes below Maddy... However, he has always been the second and he is stable. Everyone thinks he'll be the boss of the big four quarterbacks next, because he's just as young as Maddy, and he's harder and more durable.

The trio arrived at Madison Garden, which boosted the enthusiasm of the fans.

The positions of the three were very different, but after the match, they all praised the same person: Suhi the Sheep.

Duncan said, "Thank you to him for defeating Auburn University and helping my alma mater get revenge." ”

Bryant said: "There's only one person here that sticks in my memory, and that's Suhi the Sheep. ”

"He's kind of like me at the No. 1 position, using my power to knock away opponents and use his flexible limbs to score basketballs," O'Neal said. I like him. ”

Three people praising one person at the same time is the biggest attraction of this game.

Because, this game... It's boring, though it decides the final four of the national competition.

The University of Oklahoma did not pose the slightest threat to Syracuse, and from the very beginning, the combination of Susie and Anthony formed a powerful firepower suppression. Suhi and Anthony complement each other more in attack, with McNabara's injury making Carmelo Anthony more comfortable on the flank, as Sushi helps him clear the box.

Although the University of Oklahoma's back three of Price, Eylay, and Quastwhite have been extremely lethal in past games. However, Suhey and Anthony didn't give them any room to fight back, and they kept getting beaten.

As Suhi said on TV, these mediocre NCAA elite guards can no longer bring Suhi talent fusion acceleration, and naturally cannot bring Suhi a real threat.

Suhi frequently hit the interior in this game, he used his power to break through the defense, and then used his excellent flexibility to stretch his body and score the basketball.

There's nothing Oklahoma can do about it.

Their similarly helpless actions occurred on the flanks, with Carmelo Anthony's physicality and technical skills rendering their defence useless.

Plus Hakim, a quasi-NBA-level master.

It took only half time to wipe out Oklahoma's four-strong ambitions.

Carmelo Anthony had 31 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and 1 steal in this game.

Sushi had 21 points, 10 assists, 2 rebounds and 2 steals.

Suhi scored a historic 21 points in a single game, and even more impressively, 10 assists.

Although 6 of them were assists for Carmelo Anthony.

But the NCAA's assist stats are harder to come by than the NBA's.

The point guard who can win 20+10 in the quarterfinals is only 19 years old, and he has been famous for less than 3 months.

This is the most beloved material of the media, not to mention that Su Xi has said so many wild words in the media before.

With only the final four remaining in the fierce national competition, media resources were quickly concentrated. Thanks to Suhi's 'media attributes', he quickly became the most talked-about star before the start of the semi-finals.

The fuse that detonated the huge public opinion was Sports Illustrated, which has a high status in the field of basketball, especially college basketball, and made a special report, although they did not interview Su Xi, they described Su Xi's crazy deeds during this time.

Under their delicate and authentic brushstrokes, this is a thrilling and epic counterattack story.

2003 was not the age of the Internet.

Paper media is extremely powerful and has a high degree of vertical permeability.

This detailed report made the American college basketball world blow a whirlwind of 'Susie the Sheep'.

At the same time, the NBA inevitably paid attention to Suhi.

Suhi, an overnight success in the true sense of the word.

Rose like a comet to become one of the most famous stars of the Class of 2003.

This took many people by surprise.

Including Suhi herself.
