Chapter 44
At the same time, the result of another NCAA semi-final has also been determined.
Although all media knew before the game that the winner of this game would definitely be the University of Kentucky, the favorite to win the championship this year.
But in this game, the performance of all the players of the University of Kentucky still surprised everyone.
Towns showed his talent on the offensive end, scoring 22 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 blocks. He made 3 of 5 three-pointers in this game, proclaiming his omnipotence to everyone.
Devin Booker also performed well.
This famous point guard in the NCAA averaged 20 points in the three-point game.
You have to know that many famous NBA players in the past could only score 17 or 18 points in the three-point game. To be able to score more than 20, the offensive firepower is quite fierce.
Not only that, a total of five players from the University of Kentucky scored in double digits, completing a crushing game.
After the game, many sports commentators who favor Kentucky made it clear in their columns.
"Who cares about Ohio State's results?"
"For them, being able to enter the finals is still a gift from God."
"They only have Su Pan and Russell, but who does Kentucky have?"
"Towns can perfectly match up with Supan, and Booker + Murray will definitely catch Russell off guard."
"Not only that, we also have Willie Cauley-Stein, Trey Lyles, Tyler Ulis, etc."
"On the day of the finals, everyone will understand what a team is.
Many Kentucky fans raised their heads proudly.
Kentucky's strength this year can be said to be the strongest in the history of the NCAA.
In the past, no year could match Kentucky's lineup this year.
The reason why some sports commentators were so openly angry was because of the changes in the draft order given by ESPN after the semi-finals.
Towns, who once ranked first, has now dropped to second place.
Su Pan took the opportunity to climb to first place.
Russell continued to be third.
This caused a lot of discussion among fans, and many Chinese fans began to worry.
"I think Towns is pretty strong. This match is going to be tough for Su Pan."
"Not only Towns, Murray and Booker are not easy to deal with. I don't know if Russell can play well."
"And there’s the power forward Willie Cauley-Stein, whose draft pick is predicted to be between sixth and tenth, in the lottery zone!"
"It's okay. There is a reason for losing. What lineup do you have, what lineup do I have?"
"It’s hard to say, but I believe Su Pan"
"Believe in the ability of the big wall! He can do it!"
"Come on Yunlong!"
Before the game, many media predicted that this year's Crazy Three would most likely reach its peak because of the match between Su Pan and Kentucky.
This made this year's NCAA finals even more popular.
At the same time, with the upcoming finals season, the major NBA managements are also ready to move.
Almost from the moment the semi-finals ended, NBA teams, both strong and weak, began to count their chips.
But no matter which team, everyone had only one idea.
That was to win Su Pan.
In the Lakers management meeting room in Los Angeles, the management and their assistants were looking over the reports in their hands.
Lakers General Manager Kupchak looked at everyone.
After a while, someone came up with a report.
"Manager, I think we can use this bargaining chip to exchange with the Heat, and then try to get more picks."
Kupchak frowned as he held the plan he had just presented.
"you mean?"
"If we can't get Supan, we can sign a combination of Towns + Booker, or Russell + Cauley-Stein."
A Lakers management member raised his lips slightly, waiting for Kupchak's praise at any time.
But Kupchak waved his hand and signaled him to go back first.
After the other party sat back in his seat, he stood up and knocked heavily on the table in the conference room with his hands.
Dongdongdong—— the noisy conference room suddenly became quiet.
Kupchak glanced around coldly.
"I reiterate again, all trading plans must be based on the pursuit of Supan!"
"If there are other plans, they will only be implemented if we can't get Su Pan!"
""Do you understand?" he shouted.
Everyone below also understood Kupchak's determination to get Su Pan.
When the people below looked bitter and started to reorganize their plans, Kupchak's assistant walked to his side with concern.
"Manager, isn't this too much? We don't need to bet the whole team."
Kupchak glanced at his assistant, looked out the window and sighed helplessly.
"Our goal this summer must be Supan"
"Supan is the foundation of the Lakers for the next 10 years."
Kupchak's assistant took a breath.
Kupchak has made many outrageous trades, such as introducing Karl Malone and Payton to form the Lakers F4.
Or he traded O'Neal for"Lamar Odom", and in the future he introduced Pau Gasol and signed the notorious Artest.
At this moment, he saw Kupchak's persistence in pursuing the championship.
Kupchak was not the only one who was eyeing Supan.
In the Cleveland Cavaliers management, everyone was busy and sweating.
Cavaliers General Manager David Griffin ignored the opposition and scolded his subordinates.
"We have the Big Three. If we bring in Su Pan and maintain the current lineup, we can guarantee that we will defeat the Warriors!"
"Su Pan, I must fight for it!"
"No matter whether it is legal or illegal means, we must introduce him even if it violates the rules!"
"Su Pan is our chance to win three consecutive championships!"
David Griffin knew very well that if the Cavaliers did not win the championship again, the Big Three would definitely break up in the next two years.
By then, it would be unknown when they would be able to pursue the championship again.
But if they could pursue Su Pan, even if the Big Three broke up, they would still have the future.
Similarly, the Knicks, who are very optimistic about the Soviet market, also held a high-level meeting.
James Dolan looked serious.
"There is no one who is a better candidate for us this summer."
Forming a lineup of Melo and Su Pan is also their top goal this summer.
In addition, there are Mavericks, Thunder, Spurs...
Many teams, whether bottom teams or playoff teams, have joined the battle for Su Pan.
For a time, the league was turbulent and undercurrents were surging!
