The God of Basketball

At this time, Li Zhen had no idea that he had already received the attention of at least two NBA teams. If you add the call from the honest man Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to the general manager of the Lakers, there should be three.

Of course, whether it is a recommendation from a scout or a celebrity, it is only to increase the attention of the team. It will take a long way to get picked by the team and be picked in the draft.

You know, most of the players who can enter the NBA showed their sharpness in high school, just like Brooks who was defeated by him this time, he was already a basketball star in California in high school... But even so, his pick prediction It's not very advanced either, and it keeps hovering before the last two rounds of the first round.

This shows how difficult it is to enter the NBA.

After Brooks experienced this tragic failure, as Li Zhen's influence increased, his draft pick actually declined.

In a sense, this matchup is like a zero-sum game: whoever rises, someone else falls. That's why so many unheralded players made it to the NBA during March Madness by playing off their stars.

Of course, this is why Brooks spoke very unconvinced after the game.

"He won the game, but he didn't beat me. I think the bragging articles on the Internet will eventually destroy him. Because those spectators will come with high expectations, and once he can't give the corresponding Performance, the heat will eat him up now."

Brooks' words actually have some truth.

Students from Stanford University and Harvard University have made Li Zhen a celebrity very quickly on the Internet, and people immediately remembered this Stanford student named Bruce Lee, and he also hit a hit with a Michael Jordan made exactly the same lore when he killed the Jazz.

If the Internet is just a fragmented spread, let everyone know that there is a man named Bruce Lee at Stanford.

Then the NCAA special issue released by "Slam Dunk" magazine the next day became a just right supplement. Richmond's detailed report quickly let NBA fans know the dramatic story of Bruce Lee who created the magical lore yesterday afternoon. background.

And this well-coordinated 'propaganda' seems to have been specially arranged.

When people know that the Stanford crimson team is missing two core players one after another, the head coach left the team to sign up for the team next season, and announced that Bruce Lee will not be registered next season, the dramatic tension reached the extreme.

A waived guy leads a waived team to do miracles: After killing USC, he continues to kill Oregon, which is tough enough to try to make a miracle.

so? Bruce Lee is the son of heaven, and Stanford is the team that can finally perform miracles? ?

Everyone loves a comeback story.

Moreover, Li Zhen is still so good. He was admitted to Harvard when he was less than fifteen years old. He is excellent in character and learning, and he is also one of the founders of Facebook, the favorite website for young people.

These backgrounds are like powerful colored pencils embellishing his identity with unusual colors.

After all, what people usually know about NCAA basketball players are the kind of muscular men who are not good at studying at all, and even have to cheat to get into college.

But now, Bruce Lee has subverted this established impression, he is a top student. And he looks so handsome, in line with everyone's aesthetics.

He's really a Prince Charming character.

The girls expressed their emotions one after another.

There is no doubt that Li Zhen has become the most eye-catching figure in the entire magazine. People didn't even care whether Aldridge from Texas could beat the European genius Bargnani to become the No. 1 pick in 2006, let alone Adam Morrison, who is known as Larry Bird's second, hit consecutive hits in the training camp How many three-pointers... These guys are not bad,

But compared to Bruce Lee, whose story, identity and even his name are legendary, he is too ordinary and too conventional.

Their stories can find their prototypes in almost every "Slam Dunk" story, but like Bruce Lee, it is definitely the first time in the history of the NCAA.

It is worth mentioning that "Slam Dunk" magazine has a very large sales volume in addition to the private sector. In the NBA, everyone has one.

Especially in the months before the draft, many managers will learn about this year's rookies through "Slam Dunk" and "Sports Illustrated" NCAA special edition.

After the Internet bombardment, Bruce Lee's name appeared in front of them again in the form of lead, and it was full of stories.

Their attention couldn't help but move towards this guy.

After all, he has an even more fascinating identity: he is Chinese.

Who doesn't know that Houston is now making a lot of money by relying on the "Great Great Wall" from China. Therefore, this has also caused many teams to flock to the voices from China.

So, unconsciously.

Li Zhen has actually received more NBA attention than some first-round players.

However, what he needs to do now is to maintain this enthusiasm. If he keeps winning and leads the team to the championship, his popularity will continue to swell and the attention will become even higher.

At that point, he might even be a veritable hit.

...

Coach McHerney originally planned to return to Stanford on Monday and follow the team to Washington to guide the final Pacific Division qualifying game.

However, when he saw the report in "Slam Dunk" magazine in the morning, he canceled the return plan.

He was offended by the reporter's characterization, although he did abandon the team.

But the reporter's description made any reader think that the head coach McHaney is a villain, because in his description: the head coach of this team did not take responsibility, and left the team because of the loss of two core players. , and did not dig out the eyes of geniuses, and even made the decision to expel Bruce Lee next season.

Although he only adds subjective assumptions on the basis of facts, no one likes his villain status.

So, Coach McHaney decided not to go back.

He doesn't think Stanford can beat the powerful University of Washington, but they have a super senior Brandon Roy who can enter the lottery.

So, why should I go back and take the blame?

When I lost, I still said it was my responsibility, saying that my ability was not good enough, which affected Bruce Lee's performance.

Once again, McHaney chose to hang on high. He sat and watched Stanford fail, and then went back to take charge of the endgame himself.

He has the mind of a statesman.

But politician is never a good word.

And, what he doesn't know is. When he made up his mind not to go back, Li Zhen, who was actively training in the Stanford training hall, heard the voice of the positive energy baby again in his mind: Congratulations, release 50,000 drops of sweat, and open the 10-point talent energy grid again.
