Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

After the game, Zuo Li responded with a strong voice to all the doubts about them before the game.

Anyway, ESPN's guest commentator Morrison had lost the ability to speak. After watching the whole game, he could only say that Zuo Li and Curry were too strong and their cooperation was too tacit. They let Gonzaga, a powerful university in the country and a school in the Southern District.

There doesn't seem to be any difference.

After this game, Davidson also returned to the top 32 after 40 years. The last time was back in 1969, so you can imagine how happy the entire town of Davidson is.

I got off the plane and got on the bus back to Zuoli at Davidson College. As soon as I got off the bus, I was surrounded by excited students and parents of students. There were flowers, beer, and the Americans’ celebration methods were really impressive. The whole town was like celebrating the New Year.

Usually, even the principal comes to greet them personally, and when shaking Zuo Li's hand, he thanks Zuo Li loudly for choosing their school.

Zuo Li naturally expressed modestly that this is just the beginning, they will continue to move forward, and the ultimate goal is to reach the final four or even win the championship.

In China, it would be polite, but obviously, they all believed it, so the celebration became even more intense.

After all, since Zuo Li's debut, he has been consistent in his words and deeds. He has never failed to do what he said in public. After so long, many people have almost regarded what Zuo Li said as the Bible. This is not the case with the celebrating crowd.

There were many people inside holding signs made of what Zuo Li said in his post-match interview - 'Now you should know Davidson'.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Li slapped his forehead, "Really, you are all top academics, why are you still practicing feudal superstition?"

But Zuo Li also liked this atmosphere very much. The entire school and the residents of the town were celebrating the victory. This feeling was the same as the one Stuyvesant gave him, and it made people feel happy.

This enthusiasm has also infected the team. Usually only Zuo Li and Curry would practice extra, but this time, everyone stayed to practice extra. Some even brought notebooks from home to the school just to show the team what would happen next.

It is used for an important game. You should know that it is a rare item in this era. It can be seen that everyone is really mobilized.

In the next three days, Davidson's life suddenly became passionate. He was very enthusiastic about training, stayed up late at night to analyze his opponents, and even had a girl send a love lunch every day. Although all the burgers were consumed by Curry, this still made Zuo Li

Suddenly it felt like watching a passionate sports show from later generations.

But March Madness soon showed its cruel side. On March 27, after all the first round games were played, 32 teams went home at the same time. According to the proportion of selecting the top 32 from more than 1,000 universities, it was cruel.

The extent is evident.

And many good players finally put aside their laxity in the conference competition and came up with real things. The most eye-catching one was naturally North Carolina, the favorite to win the championship. And they did become the most popular team in the first round. Davidson's point difference record was set in one day.

was broken, North Carolina defeated St. Mary's by 39 points, and shot 60.6% from the field. The rebounding victory was 46:16, and 14 of the 15 players scored.

The core of the team, Hansbrough and Lawson, both scored 21 points.

Kansas State, led by Beasley, and USC, led by Mayo, are the favorites for the No. 1 pick. Their first-round meeting was also a battle for them to prove themselves. In the end, Beasley scored 23 points and O.J. Mayo scored 20.

The difference doesn't seem to be big, but Mayo's cowardly performance at the critical moment and the reversal of USC's lead caused his draft prediction to be directly surpassed by Beasley.

This is also the cruelty of March Madness. Sometimes a game determines not just a moment, but a player's entire career.

As for the upset, the team with the twin towers of Thabeet and Adrian lost to San Diego in the first round by 1 point. Thabeet made 5 of 10 shots and scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks, and Adrian scored 18 points.

12 rebounds. This team was a favorite before the game. Thabeet was even called a monster with talent as good as Zuo Li. However, they still lost. This made many people who were looking forward to Thabeet having a chance to compete with Zuo Li sad.

Endless.

However, regrets can be made up for. Soon, Davidson College's next opponent was announced. Georgetown University defeated UMBC and entered the top 32, becoming Davidson's opponent in the next round.

This result is not surprising, but it also makes many people who like Davidson feel distressed, because this time the opponent is more difficult to deal with than Gonzaga in the first round. After all, Georgetown is the second seed in the NCAA division this year, with 27 in the season.

With 5 wins and 5 losses, Princeton's style also makes them unique in the NCAA.

Many people even feel that Zuo Li's real test is coming.

Because the core of Georgetown University is the dark and tough inside line, the defensive champion, Roy Hibbert!

Hibbert is 218 centimeters tall and weighs a full 122 kilograms. In the NCAA where there is no defensive three-second defense, he is an absolute inside weapon. Although his speed is not dominant against Zuo Li, his height and weight are a complete advantage. The most important thing is,

His defensive ability is excellent, much better than the previous insiders Zuo Li has encountered, so many media commented after the match: Zuo Li's real test is coming.

ESPN was even more blunt: "Zuo Li has never encountered such a guy since his debut. To a certain extent, whether he can get benefits from Hibbert affects Zuo Li's final selection."

This is true. If Zuo Li is restricted by Hibbert this time, it will definitely affect his status in the eyes of NBA scouts. After all, although Hibbert has good conditions, these conditions are not unavailable in the NBA. There are many

NBA insiders are much stronger, but Zuo Li can't pass this test, which means that Zuo Li is not as magical as the legend says.

Of course, in the same way, as long as Zuo Li still displays his bravery, or even is only slightly affected, Zuo Li's evaluation will be higher.

From their point of view, this time's confrontation is a coexistence of opportunity and crisis.

Yes, that's what Hibbert thought. After learning that he was going to play Davidson in the next game, Hibbert was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

Because he knew that his chance was finally coming.

Although Jeff Green, the eldest brother of the team, entered the NBA this season, and he has naturally become the core of Georgetown, his attention is not high, and the outside world's evaluation of him is only an average team, and he has the opportunity to enter

First 15, then, gone.

This is definitely a blow to Hibbert, who aspires to become Ewing. As a New York-born man, his dream is to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor Ewing and lead Georgetown to the second NCAA championship in team history.

Then he became the No. 1 pick and entered the NBA.

But dreams and reality are vividly reflected in him. Not to mention super seniors from the same school like Ewing and Iverson, there are countless insiders in his generation who have received more attention than him.

Just like the joke said, "Hibbert, don't underestimate yourself. The only people better than you are Oden, Zuo Li, Griffin, Thabeet, and the Lopez brothers..."

shit!

Hibbert vowed to prove himself. Last year, he was beaten by Oden in the NCAA semifinals and lost. This year, he worked hard to prove himself again.

Zuo Li is his best chance!
