Chapter 23
Three Days Later
"Why is it Karl-Anthony Towns again? This guy is on the headlines of NCAA news again!"
Before the game started, Russell was sitting in the locker room looking at his phone.
Just now, the University of Kentucky Wildcats became the first team to advance to the quarterfinals. Towns scored 30 points and 15 rebounds, dominating both offense and defense.
The key is that many NBA teams are really optimistic about Towns and think he is a well-deserved new-era super inside player.
The more Russell watched, the more unhappy he became. He was not unhappy about Towns but that the No. 1 pick surpassed him.
What made him unhappy was, what did Towns have to compare with Su Pan?
So in the pre-match interview, Russell revealed his true feelings.
"I think NBA managers have a narrow vision."
D'Angelo Russell had a blank expression in front of many reporters.
Everyone thought Russell was going to publicly DISS the sports media.
Unexpectedly, Russell complained to everyone:"Su Pan is the No. 1 center in the NCAA, he shouldn't be ranked only third."
"Su Pan is a hundred times better than Karl-Anthony Towns!"
The reporters were very surprised.
Although it is said that after Su Pan joined the Buckeyes, the Buckeyes' crazy three performances were particularly exaggerated.
But after all, it was only a few games, and Su Pan could not catch up with the stable performance of the other people for a whole year.
Giving the third place now is already an exception.
And Russell, who is in the second place, publicly helped Su Pan.
This is likely to reduce his favorability in the eyes of other NBA teams.
But Russell still did it.
He really stood up for Su Pan.
Not far away, Su Pan couldn't help but sigh.
In the future, Towns, Russell, and Booker can be said to be a new generation of banana boat brothers, and their relationship is particularly close.
It's a pity that the three of them have not yet gone to the elite training camp to build friendships. Unexpectedly
, this banana boat capsized before it even started.
Meanwhile, the Gonzaga Bulldogs were also interviewed before the game.
"Domantas, what do you think of the Ohio State Buckeyes, who are now on a roll.
Sabonis Jr. remained calm in front of the media
"I don't need to answer too many questions, because we don't have any pressure facing them."
"We have the most unique roster in the entire league!"
"Our twin towers in the interior can even shoot, and we have a variety of ways to play!"
And the fact is just as Sabonis said.
The Gonzaga University Bulldogs not only have Sabonis, but also another NBA draft player Wiltcher.
Although they are both short, they have good mobility. They have solid skills and are both capable of outside shooting.
Compared with most teams in the NCAA, Gonzaga is one of the few teams that can create a huge inside space, which makes their team tactics very changeable.
Facing a team with a strong inside line, they can rely on the outside line to break through.
Facing a team with a weak inside line, they can use the twin towers to score steadily.
And Gonzaga itself thinks that adapting to the times is the kingly way!
Not to mention that there are two new era inside players!
This news soon spread to the interview area on the other side.
The reporter also questioned Su Pan bluntly.
"Su, Gonzaga said that adapting to the times is the way to go. Their twin towers can effectively restrain you. So, how should you deal with their twin towers?"
Su Pan was stunned when he heard this question.
"Twin towers?"
"What twin towers?"
"They have twin towers?"
Su Pan asked three questions in a row, confusing the reporters.
How come he didn't even know the opponent's lineup tonight?
After being reminded by the staff next to him, Su Pan finally reacted, and his expression suddenly became a little complicated.
He looked at the expectant eyes of the reporters below, and hesitated several times.
It's not that he couldn't think of how to answer, but he didn't know how to answer at all.
Two 2.08-meter inside players dare to call themselves twin towers?
Charles O'Neal and I are both over 2.10 meters tall!
We didn't dare to say that we are twin towers!
You said it first?
After calming down a little, Su Pan slowly said:"If they are twin towers, then Charles O'Neal and I will be the double Mount Everest, right?"
Su Pan's words caused the reporters below to laugh.
In the fan forum outside, the fans were also madly teasing
"People from China tend to be reserved in their speech."
"Why do I feel like Su Pan is cursing someone, but it seems like he is not cursing"
"Too bad, Twin Towers and Twin Peaks!"
"To be honest, Gonzaga's Sabonis is really good, but the two from the Buckeyes don't have any inside footwork skills."
"Without footwork skills, the minimum score is 40 points. With it, it would be 80 points!"
"80 points! Why don't you say 100 points, almost as high as Chamberlain!"
"To be honest, Su Pan's athletic talent and arm span are a bit like Chamberlain!"
"Indeed, his athletic ability is amazing!"
The Buckeyes' twin peaks vs. Gonzaga's twin towers.
The pre-match gimmicks were full.
The attention of this game was raised a lot at once.
At this time, in the stands not far away, the Thunder's two young players also came to the scene.
After seeing the pre-match interview, Westbrook couldn't help but tease
"You have the nerve to call them twin towers. I think it's more like twin dwarfs."
Just by watching the highlights, Westbrook can tell that
Su Pan is not an easy target.
Gonzaga's twin towers are a bit funny.
Durant on the side is cautious.
"Don't underestimate that guy."
"He is the son of the roof of the world, maybe he really has something."
Durant's eyes focused on the game.
Then, Durant shut up.
Because in the first round of the game, although Su Pan did not complete the fast break after the jump ball, he turned around and attacked from the inside, and directly pushed Sabonis to the bottom line audience area.
""Bang!"
Turning to face Wiltcher, Su Pan made a violent dunk.
The dunked Wiltcher fell on Sabonis Jr.
The two of them stacked up outside the baseline!
Seeing this scene, Westbrook laughed:"KD, is this what you said, they may have something?"
"Who told you they have nothing left?"
KD said with an embarrassed look on his face,"Look, they are having so much fun playing the game of human pyramid."
