Chapter 11

"Who helped us clear a huge mountain on the road to the championship?"

Towns leaned back in his chair with a look of relief on his face.

Towns knew Okafor's strength very well.

If Kentucky wanted to win the championship, they had to defeat Duke University, a strong opponent.

Devin Booker frowned and complained.

"What do you mean by cleanup? They have already abused Jahlil Okafor!"

Then Booker was in the locker room, changing his clothes and yelling

"45 points!"

"22 boards!"

"9 blocks!"

""Hou Lixie, where did the Buckeyes find such a monster!"

These words stunned everyone at the University of Kentucky.

If it weren't for Booker, they would have thought that Duke University was careless and accidentally lost the crucial game.

The locker room of the University of Kentucky fell into silence.

As the team that is also the number one seed to win the championship this year, their team lineup is very luxurious.

In addition to Karl-Anthony Towns, who is predicted to be the No. 1 pick, they also have Devin Booker and Jamal Murray.

Even in terms of blue-collar workers, they have Trey Lyles, Tyler Ulis, and Willie Cauley-Stein, who have solid basic skills. This year ,

Kentucky has both stars and strength.

The former three provide offensive firepower, and the latter three provide the defensive line, forming the strongest lineup of Kentucky this year.

Because the University of Kentucky is so strong, the team is ranked first on the power list!

Kentucky players are also discussing Su Pan.

Among them, Towns, like Okafor, is predicted to be the No. 1 pick in many drafts.

However, the two have completely different game types.

One is an outside center who is more inclined to the small ball era and has super mobility. The other is an inside center who is more inclined to the small ball era and focuses on support and low-post offense.

"This Chinese guy named Su Pan actually scored 45+20!"

"Is this true? Wouldn’t he be the No. 1 center in the NCAA?"

"Stop being funny. It's a different era now. Why are you still discussing this?"

"But this Su Pan really beat the previous draft predictions for the top pick."

"Carl also beat Jahir, so what’s the big deal?"

"Our Carl is the No. 1 center in the NCAA!"

"That's right! I must teach him a lesson!"

Kentucky's meaning to people is very simple.

Even if they defeat Okafor, it can't prove that Su Pan is the No. 1 center in the NCAA.

Because, there is a person named Don Towns?

Towns also clenched his fists, wanting to prove himself more and more.

"Just because you beat Jahlil Okafor doesn't mean you can beat me"

"I am also the top pick!"

Towns is ready.

If he meets Ohio State University in March Madness, he will definitely teach Su Pan a lesson.

Let everyone see clearly who is the top center in the NCAA!!!

The appearance of Su Pan has attracted the unanimous attention of all NCAA teams.

On the other hand, the players of the University of Wisconsin are also discussing Su Pan.

Especially their next opponent is Ohio State University.

The University of Wisconsin is also one of the powerful teams in this year's March Madness.

Sam Dekker and Dure Dickon, as core players, have formed the current Wisconsin offensive team.

Both of them can contribute excellent data of 15 points and 6 rebounds per game.

The team leader, Frank Kaminsky, is even more crucial.

This 2.13-meter big man has the athletic ability comparable to that of a small forward, and also has a stable outside shooting ability. He is definitely a rare space-type inside player in today's small ball era.

Kaminsky was a well-deserved college king in college.

Even Mr. Joe skipped Devin Booker and Myles Turner and selected Kaminsky.

"D'Angelo is very good, but I think that center is more difficult to deal with. He is too big, like a mammoth!!!"

Dure Dicon complained with a sad face.

Their team focuses on outside attack, and they are afraid of strong teams with inside attack in the NCAA.

When they meet a strong inside team, they can only play against each other.

At first, they thought that they would meet Duke led by Okafor in the second round, which would definitely be a tough battle.

Unexpectedly, Okafor was kicked out in the first round.

Not long after receiving this good news, they learned that the Ohio State University team that beat Duke had an inside center who scored 45 points in that game and beat Okafor in all aspects.

This made them even more worried about their next game.

"That's enough."

Kaminski glanced at Dure Dikon with dissatisfaction.

"We have seen college students with ridiculous physiques in the NCAA before."

After saying this, Dure Dikang stopped talking.

In the NCAA, there are indeed many players with huge bodies and amazing athletic ability.

But their playing skills and basketball IQ are worrying.

Among these players, at least 9 out of 10 are fake.

Although the remaining one is not a fake, he must have obvious shortcomings.

Kaminsky sat up straight and talked to his teammates confidently.

"In this era, the shortcomings of inside players without outside offense are very obvious!"

"By then, I will be like a fool if I try to dodge him."

Kaminsky's offensive ability is indeed beyond doubt.

He is 2.13 meters tall, with excellent skills and touch.

He is a big man at the fourth position who can attack like a small forward.

Whether it is inside or outside, this guy can score without distinction.

At this time, everyone at the University of Wisconsin smiled a little.

Perhaps Su Pan, who gave Duke University a headache, is not a problem at all in front of their three-point team.

You are a strong center?!

Then I will pull out your center to play!

Thinking of this, Kaminsky's mouth corners slightly raised.

He can't wait to let Su Pan know what a real attacker is.

On the other side, two scouts from the

San Antonio

Spurs returned to the AT&T Arena.

Spurs General Manager R·C·Buford was pacing anxiously in the office.

As soon as the two scouts got the hang of it, he couldn't wait to ask them.

"How is the investigation of Jahlil Okafor going? Is his talent worth our efforts?

The two scouts looked at each other.

Their eyes were full of helplessness, and then they shook their heads at the general manager at the same time.

"Manager, Jahir is a player who may only be able to adapt to the intensity of the college league."

"If he comes to the more intense NBA, he may not be able to show the strength that people expect of him."

"If we don't want to choose a parallel import, then don't choose him"

"Parallel Imports……"

Hearing this, R·C·Buford frowned slightly, a little disappointed."GDP"The duo is gradually entering the end of their careers, and the Spurs are getting weaker year by year.

They are now anxiously looking for players in the draft, hoping to find the next successor to Duncan, and then coach Popovich will create the next"decade" of miracles.

Compared with Towns of the University of Kentucky, the more conservative Spurs still prefer traditional inside players.

Okafor naturally became their next target candidate

"Now the league has set off a small ball craze"

"I always believe that if a strong traditional center is airborne, the small ball era will end."

"But now it seems that Jahlil Okafor doesn't have this ability.……"

R·C·Buford's eyes look a little dim, and his dream of ending the small ball era may be temporarily shelved.

"but……"

But just when Buford was losing interest, scout Tom Jamie changed the subject.

"Mr. Manager"

"We found a better guy than Jahlil Okafor!"
