As the season opener kicked off, thousands of Cleveland fans packed the pitiful little arena at St. Mary's High School.

Even though the season ticket here has been fried by scalpers to $125 a piece, there are still people who are crazy to buy it.

St. Mary's High School did not waste James's last season, and was bound to turn into a grinding goblin, squeeze Youzhan to the point where there was not a drop left, and squeeze out all the commercial value of Youzhan.

They expanded the basketball arena, which could only accommodate 2,000 people, to 3,000 seats, and sold 1,000 more tickets for a game.

But even if it results in everyone having to squeeze their shoulders and thighs next to thighs when they sit down, there is no comfort at all, and it can't stop Cleveland fans from wanting to see James.

In this lively atmosphere, Cleveland fans watched as James lightly led the team to a 46-10 run, and then clocked out early.

The poor Welston Middle School players were helpless about it, and every second they were on the field was torment.

After the game, there were many reporters on the pitch as usual.

James is also waiting for reporters to change their praise, as he has done in previous seasons.

But today, the first sentence of the ESPN reporter made Ajan stunned:

"LeBron, what do you think of Ryan's college opener tomorrow?"

Jim:???

No...... You came to my turf and asked Ryan a question?

What's your intention!?

I don't want to hear the name of the number nine!

Wait, Ryan is number 0, why do I have the number 9 all over my head!

Anyway, don't mention Ryan anymore, he finally left high school, can you let me, the lonely emperor, be quiet!

However, several reporters in a row were asking questions about James and Ryan.

James instantly felt that the cheers around him were not fragrant, yes, he was still the popular Emperor of the Earth in Cleveland, and everyone was scrambling to watch him play.

But out of Cleveland, looking at the whole country, both reporters and fans obviously care more about Ryan!

Ajan is a little disappointed, this is a broken high school competition, just don't fight!

Ryan is really hot right now, and with Wesley's boost, Ryan's college opener is a national spotlight.

No, that night, there was no news of James' crazy victory over his opponent in the opening game, and sports TV stations across the country were talking about Ryan's opening game.

Some people think that Ryan will definitely be able to continue to kill indiscriminately, after all, he can even win Dream Five.

Some people also think that Ryan can win Dream Five because Dream Five is training and he is not doing his best at all.

And now that the World Championships have ended, the sixth place in the World Championships of the Dream Five Team has made them label "the worst dream team in history".

What's the big deal about winning the worst dream team in history that didn't do their best for the purpose of training?

On TV, experts from all walks of life have their own opinions.

But whether they support Ryan or look down on Ryan, for Ryan it's all about increasing his traffic!

The more arguments there are, the more compelling this match becomes.

An atmosphere of "critical war" was thus created.

Ajan watched the sports news all night, but he didn't find any trace of himself in Ryan's picture.

He slapped his thigh at the time: "It's broken, I'm a stand-in!" ”

James is actually quite good, at least people still know that there is a high school student in Cleveland who is awe-inspiring.

Unlike Angua, when you mention Angua now, the first reaction of fans is: "What is Kame? What Mellon? ”

While Ryan's NCAA debut was being discussed nationwide, the University of Illinois Warriors had arrived in Madison.

Their coach Bill. Self began coaching the NCAA in '93 and took over the University of Illinois in 2000. In two seasons in charge, he has won two regular season championships, and he is an out-and-out winning general.

Upper Self is confident in the opener, after all, the University of Illinois beat Wisconsin twice last season.

And this year, the University of Wisconsin also lost a fourth-year forward and defensive titan Charlie Brown. Wells, the strength is even weaker.

What? Ryan?

What kidding, that guy is just a freshman.

Self knew very hard that freshmen would have to perform in the NCAA.

Jordan averaged 13.5 points per game in his freshman year, Olajuwon averaged 8 points and 6 rebounds in his freshman year, and Duncan averaged only 9.8 points per game in his freshman year.

Aren't they big names? But freshman year is at this level.

It's hard to expect high school stars to go straight to the killing mode when they get to college.

After all, freshman year needs to adapt to facing completely different confrontations, completely different age groups, and a more rigorous system.

In short, Self simply didn't believe that Ryan could play a lot in the NCAA. Winning Dream Five before, it's just that the other side is not serious.

Last season, Wisconsin also had senior defensive stalwart Charlie who could cause a little trouble for Cook. What now? Use Ryan, a freshman, to defend against Cook?

Then Cook will have a great time!

In addition, in order to cope with Ryan's impact, Self also decided to defend the team, focusing on a shrinking basket.

Presumably, there hasn't been a team that has set up a specific defensive strategy for Ryan before, right?

So this time, I'll let you know what college basketball is.

Pinch Ryan? It's easy!

After all, before Angua, there was really no freshman player in the history of the NCAA who could grasp the data and record.

And it's often hard for humans to imagine something that hasn't happened.

It's like, you can't expect an author who hasn't been in a relationship to write an emotional drama.

As a result, the confident Cerf was a little disdainful of Ryan when facing the reporter's camera:

"Ryan is a good high school player, not necessarily a good college player.

I advise you not to have unrealistic expectations for him, no matter what, we are confident that we will win the opener! ”

On the other side, Kansas coach Roy . Williams was also asked about Ryan.

Roy. Williams has been angry because he didn't fool Ryan, so he also stepped on it:

"Ryan is a great defensive player, but in his first NCAA game, he probably won't score 10 points."

The next day, race day.

The Cole Center, home of the University of Wisconsin Badgers, was filled with more than 17,000 seats.

The main color of the badger team is red, so the scene has also become a sea of red. Don't say it, it's quite a match for Ryan's nationality.

After a brief warm-up, Ryan came out wearing the new No.0 shirt. Nearly 20,000 people in the entire stadium burst into cheers.

This atmosphere is not comparable to the 3,000 people in St. Mary's High School.

On the Wisconsin side, the new season's starter is Devon. Harris, last season's leading scorer Kirk. Penny, Lane, power forward Michael. Wilkins, center Andreas. Hermick.

Seeing this lineup, Cerf smiled.

What's this? The team's tallest Hermick is only 2.06m, and power forward Wilkins is 2.03m.

Even in the NCAA, Wisconsin's interior combination is too short.

On the other hand, on the Illinois side, the starting lineup can be called bright.

The point guard was a freshman, Paul's bitter master, Delon Brown. Williams!

Of course, at this time, Delong, who had just been a freshman, had not yet risen in combat power, but he was already full of aura.

Scoring guard Dee. Brown, averaging 13 points per game.

Small forward Reggie. Powell, the center is 2.18 meters Nick. Smith.

and the team's biggest star at the moment, Brian, who averages 20 points per game. Cook!

As far as Ryan knows, the opposite set of starters, except for the center, the other four ended up in the NBA!

The strength of the strength can be seen!

In the eyes of the outside world, Illinois's lineup is indeed much stronger than Wisconsin.

Not to mention anything else, the height is much worse.

In this era of emphasizing positional offense and defense and interior lines, the big forward is 2.03 meters and the center is 2.06 meters, which is really weird.

Brian. Cook must not put the inside line out of the run?

The University of Illinois players were smiling, and they knew that this game could be broadcast live nationally because of Ryan.

But in the end, it's all about making them a wedding dress!

The race started with 2.18m Nick. Smith fought for the basketball without any suspense.

DeLong dribbled across half court and handed the ball to Cook.

But as soon as Cook got the basketball, before he could play, he found that Ryan and Harris actually slammed their hands towards him fiercely!

In the face of such strong oppression, Cook hurriedly passed to the let go. Brown. If there is a pinch, there must be an empty space, which is the eternal law of the basketball court.

But Kirk. Penny made a timely rotation to fill in and seal Brown again.

Seeing this, Brown immediately passed the ball to Delon who was let go and made up for the first time, can you make up for the second time?

Delon confidently fired 45° from the right side of the three-point line.

Cerf laughed, Wisconsin's defense was too vulnerable.

They must have known that Ryan, a freshman rookie, couldn't guard against Cook, so they had to double pack Cook as soon as he came up.

And this will definitely lead to leakage.

Because you have one teammate wipe your butt, you have to have several teammates wipe your butt one after another. Eventually, a piece of paper will definitely miss a hand if you rub it too much repeatedly.

Oh, what a super genius, he has become a burden to Wisconsin on the defensive end. If it weren't for helping him, Wisconsin wouldn't have missed anyone.

Today, it is bound to be a massacre!

Seeing Delon shoot in the open space, Cerf was ready to applaud.

As soon as Delon threw the basketball, a powerful hand jerked it from the side and flew the ball out of bounds!

The basketball happened to fly vigorously into the arms of the still proud Cerf, who held the basketball with a stunned look in his eyes.

No......

Delong was obviously an empty opportunity just now, huh? Who fanned the ball?

On the field, everyone in Illinois also looked at each other.

What just happened?

It wasn't until the big screen on the scene gave a replay that Self saw that the moment Delon received the ball was indeed an open opportunity, but when it was time to shoot, Ryan had already made up for the defense at an incredible speed and fanned the basketball!

Wisconsin used a continuous, perfect round of fill-in rotation to block all opportunities!

This season, Wisconsin played exactly the kind of two-man press defense that Wesley had expected.

The first double presses and forces the opposing star to play. Then use the advantage of mobility to make up for the position in a crazy rotation, give full play to the athleticism, and make the opponent make mistakes in the chaotic and impatient passes again and again!

Even if the other side doesn't make a mistake and really gets a chance, Wisconsin can rely on mobility to turn an open opportunity into a block!

Ryan has just fanned Delon to be the best example of this. The opposite side seems to have a vacant opportunity, but in fact, it can't make a move at all!

This is also the reason why the Wisconsin lineup is short, although short, everyone is extremely mobile!

And Ryan will inevitably be the most dazzling one under this system. After all, with his ability and size, he can make up for the defense from the three-point line to the three-second zone. He will create countless highlight moments on the defensive end this season!

The players at the University of Illinois swallowed, they all felt as if there were eight players on the opposite side, and there was no way to pass the empty seats!

Ryan looked at Seff, who was holding the basketball in a daze, and clapped his hands at Seff, who didn't care about himself, a freshman:

"Coach, you advise people not to expect too much from me?

And what I suggest is, you don't just suggest!

I don't accept your suggestion either! ”

With ease, Wisconsin defused the first wave of the University of Illinois' offensive.

Freshman Ryan also got his NCAA debut off to a good start.

Today's game is indeed going to be a carnage.

But who slaughtered whom, it is not necessarily!
