After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball

Chapter 31 031: I'm afraid the Lakers will choose him to replace me

The death group in the Western Division whetted everyone's appetite.

This is probably why March Madness is so attractive.

All the strong teams from various leagues across the country gathered together to decide the outcome without hesitation, and finally determine the strongest player.

This kind of multiplayer battle is very exciting to think about.

Three days after the "Sunday Selection Day", on March 3th, the first day of the March Madness Tournament will start.

Shea also came to Tucson, Arizona with the team. The first round will be played at the McKell Center, home of the Arizona Wildcats.

The NCAA March Madness Tournament does not distinguish between home and away games, and both sides compete on neutral courts.

You can understand that 64 teams are on a national tour.

As soon as Shay and his teammates got off the plane, they were chased and intercepted by reporters.

As a team with two lottery picks at the same time, Georgetown University is naturally attracting attention.

"Shay, you said you would participate in this year's NBA draft, do you have an agent now?"

"Do you really think you can play in the NBA? Which team do you want to be drafted by?"

"Can Asian players really survive in the NBA?"

The microphones of the reporters almost poked into Shay's mouth. It seems that his official announcement of participating in the draft still caused quite a stir.

But even though he had announced his participation in the draft, Shay still didn't see any reporters from China at the scene.

No way, basketball was not particularly popular in China in 91, and the NBA had not fully spread.

In the original history, it was not until 94 that the NBA was broadcast live for the first time in China, and the regular season was not broadcast live until 96.

People in China are still very unfamiliar with the NBA.

But if he can enter the NBA, the process of all this should be accelerated.

Sitting on the team bus, Shay put down his backpack and prepared to take the team's playbook out to review.

As a point guard, Shai must skillfully command his teammates to play various tactics on the court.

Because the previous games were too easy, the tactics were actually very simple.

But in March Madness, it is estimated that more and more complicated tactics will be used.

But when Shay opened the backpack, he found that he couldn't find the team's playbook.

He rummaged through it, only to find a few magazines with big, white and flirty covers.
Then, I found a note: "I know you are lonely outside, so I secretly prepared some survival for you, don't thank me.

Always support your roommate. "

Shay: .
"Be careful, kid." Beside Shay, John Thompson glanced at the books in Shay's bag, and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Young people are full of energy.

It's true that young people read more books, but you really have too much.

Shay is hard to argue with now, coach I am really a good student!

When they arrived at the hotel where they stayed, Shay and Mourning were divided into the same room.

Mourning's mind is full of tomorrow's game, while Shai is staring at the ceiling.

In fact, of course, it's not just staring at the ceiling stupidly, it's a mission!
"New mission: 91 strongest Mr. Xie!"

Shay:? ? ?
What kind of broken mission name is this!

"Mission Objective: Get out of the Western Division and enter the final four, and in the game against Steve Smith and Kenny Anderson, suppress their shooting percentage below 40%.

Note: If you don't meet them, the tasks about them will be completed automatically.

Quest Reward: A Player Essence. "

Although the name of the task is not serious, but the reward of this task makes Xie willing to be a person who is not serious!

For the first two missions, the mission rewards were all essence fragments.

This time it directly gave the players the essence.

The system is a bit of a conscience.

But think about it, the reason why this mission rewards so much is because it is a mission that requires multiple games to complete.

Looking at it this way, this system is still a dog!
However, it would be quite useful if they could improve their strength one more time before entering the final four.

But trying to keep Steve Smith and Kenny Anderson below 40 percent is not easy.

Take Steve Smith as an example. The senior Steve Smith has already matured this season, and his skills in all aspects have been perfected.

No matter what defensive position you use, he can cater to it.

He averaged 25.1 points per game, shot 47.3% from the field and 40.7% from three-point range.

He is a veritable scoring maniac.

And unlike people like Billy Owens, Steve Smith's performance after entering the NBA is quite good.

At his peak, he averaged 44 points per game with 35% field goal percentage and 20.1% three-point field goal percentage.

So Steve Smith's immediate combat power is very strong!
Xie Yidun felt a lot of pressure. If he couldn't handle Steve Smith, let alone the mission couldn't be completed, it might even affect his selection.

However, if Shay is lucky, it is also possible that Steve Smith will be eliminated in the first round, and the two sides will never meet~
In this way, the task can be completed automatically.

In March Madness, the outcome is determined by one game, and anything can happen.

Next day, game day!
Shay got on the team bus full of energy, while Mourning behind Shay had two big dark circles under his eyes.

John Thompson was startled: "Why did you go last night?"

"It's all Shay's fault!" Mourning yelled innocently, making everyone focus on Shay.

Everyone was very curious about what Shay did to Mourning last night.

In good conscience, Shay went to bed early last night.

It was Mourning who discovered that there was a good fortune in the Shea bag, so he watched it all night with a flashlight under the quilt!
Shay was really speechless, can this also be blamed on me?

Sure enough, Mourning, who stayed up all night, was in a very poor state today, like sleepwalking.

As soon as the game came up, because of lack of concentration, Shay made a pass and headshot.

At that time, Shai was double-teamed from beyond the three-point line, and Mourning was preparing to pick and roll near the free throw line.

Shay saw that he had attracted the defense, and he threw the ball vigorously to Mourning.

But Mourning didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't notice the basketball flying towards him.

Just like that, the basketball hit Mourning directly on the head.

Because Shay passed the ball very hard, after hitting Mourning, Mourning was dizzy, his legs went limp, and he sat down on the ground.
At the beginning, the cooperation between Shay and Mourning was full of applause. The laughter at the scene has proved how successful they are as comedians.

After that, Mourning's state still has not recovered.

His various funny performances include but are not limited to:

After grabbing the rebound, he inexplicably dropped it out of bounds without confrontation.

CIC is not sticky.

The pick-and-roll is to strictly block the teammate's breakthrough route.

And after chasing and taking a big risk, he blocked the ball into his own basket.
Real scorers never pick boxes!
John Thompson shook his head when he saw it. Fortunately, Georgetown's opponent Vanderbilt University is weak today, so even if Mourning is not playing well, the team can still control the situation.

In the end, Shay scored 17 points and 11 assists. Mutombo ate cakes and vomited, scoring 30 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks!
莫宁就厉害了，1盖帽2走步3失误，4犯规5篮板6打铁。

It went so well!

64 to 49, Georgetown University won the first round without any suspense.

Just after the game, Shay also learned that Michigan State, the fifth seed, advanced easily, and they were not eliminated in the first round.

And this also means that the fifth seed and the fourth seed will meet in the second round!
史蒂夫.史密斯这场比赛表现一如既往的出色，全场21投10中拿下28分5篮板5助攻。

Moreover, it could be seen that Steve Smith hadn't tried his best.

Just an understatement and scored 28 points.

As the apprentice of a magician, Steve Smith has always been known as the "little magician".

Although his style is completely different from that of the magician, this does not affect the media forcibly binding the two together.

And Xie Yi is also known as the "Chinese magician".

Therefore, the reporters found the magician himself and asked him who he liked more in the next game.

Magician is of course supportive of his alma mater and junior.

"You guys don't even know how strong Steve Smith is. If Shay is good enough to beat Steve Smith, then the Lakers will probably choose him to replace me hahahaha."

The magician made a joke, and his answer made more people pay attention to the duel between the two NCAA magicians.

In fact, the Lakers management is really curious about how good this Shay is.

Although the Lakers are a championship team this season, they don't have a particularly high-ranked draft pick, and they don't plan to introduce high-ranked rookies.

But observation is always necessary.

When people were talking about the duel between Shay and Steve Smith, Michigan State coach John Hurt, who had cultivated the Magician, focused on winning the next game on Mourning.

Mourning's poor performance today was not as expected by Hurt to be honest.

He has already discovered that Mourning is a typical civil war expert and foreign war layman.

Playing inside the Big East, he did really well.

But when it comes to the NCAA Championships, especially in major games, Mourning's performance is hard to describe.

Take Georgetown vs. UNLV last year as an example.

Before Mourning was sent off, he only made 5 of 2 shots and only scored 7 points and 4 turnovers.

He didn't even dare to make a move!
Even if he is not sent off, in his state, it is actually difficult to contribute to the team.

So tomorrow, Hurt decided to short Mourning, use two insiders to attack Mutombo in advance, and cut off the connection between Shea and Mutombo.

Dikembe Mutombo is not a very strong scoring player, and Michigan State also has a future NBA center Mike Peproski.

Using him to carry Mutombo, supplemented by double-teaming, will definitely be able to completely block Georgetown's offense!

As for Michigan State's own offense
Don't worry about it at all, just hand over the damn ball to Steve!

As for the Chinese magician, it's just hype.

Why is Shay suddenly popular, and why is there so much media coverage all of a sudden?

Isn't it all the fault of that little Jewish old man Stern? He is crazy to open up the international market. He must hype a few international players.

There are only a few such hyped stars every year, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Orthodox magicians, at Michigan State University!
