last super center

Chapter 31

Charles Barkley, NBA Hall of Famer, nicknamed "Flying Pig".

With a height of 1 meters, but doing a job of 98 meters, a healthy Charles Barkley can overwhelm the inside. Even in the 2s, when the four major centers were in a row, Barkley could find his own place in the inside.

Regrettably, Barkley has never won a championship in his life, and the only time he led his team to the finals was also defeated by the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan.

The impression of Barkley is that Su Mu still stays in the Rockets era, and Barkley, who was grouped by the Big Three in his later years and was going to go to the Space City for retirement, has become the thigh of Olajuwon and Drexler.

I'm afraid Barkley will never want to experience that feeling for the rest of his life.

His partner is another colleague who kissed the ass of the donkey: Kenny Smith!
"Charles, how does it feel to be in the hometown of Elvis Presley?"

"Please, can you change your cliché opening remarks to something new?"

"The hometown of Elvis Presley? Yes, I am full of admiration for this place. Who is he? He is a great Elvis Presley!"

Buckley described his dissatisfaction in a joking tone. Of course, Buckley still seemed more cautious in his attitude towards Elvis Presley.

"Hahaha, what do you think, do you still want to bet?" Kenny Smith narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face was self-evident.

"Bet? What bet?"

Barkley didn't react for a while, looking at the teasing smile on Kenny's face, how could a man like Fliggy not understand what he was talking about.

"Kenny, my old partner, you can call me stupid, or you can laugh at my ignorance, but you can't really treat me as a fool!" He glanced at the starting lineup of the University of Kansas, and then at the fifth team of UCLA. A player, Barkley said in the presence of God.

"Yo, don't you dare to gamble?"

"Su Mu, that's a player that Yao personally endorsed. Why he was able to join the University of Kansas, Yao's role in it is self-evident."

Kenny Smith said with a smile.

"So? What does this have to do with me?"

Buckley didn't look sideways, he wouldn't be fooled by Kenny.

Can the current situation be compared with the original situation?
Yao Ming played O'Neal, and Barkley took it for granted that the Sharks could crush the rookie Yao Ming, but the final result was unexpected.

At that time, Barkley wanted to strangle O'Neal to death, and he was also the strongest center in the TM league. You bastard, it's a shame!

However.
With the pair of super twin stars Wiggins and Su Mu, even the mighty UCLA has a hell of a hard time defeating their opponents.

"This year's University of Kansas and UCLA are the two favorites for the championship. The University of Kansas' big change and Su Mu's outstanding performance in the interior have made Kansas' overall strength complete a qualitative leap."

"UCLA, the players they recruit every year are star-studded. That guy named Zach LaVine has the title of the strongest dunker in the NCAA!"

Before the game, the two had already memorized the information of the two teams by heart.

"I admit that the No. 9 player from China is very capable. He plays more like a traditional center forward, relying on his strong body and outstanding talent to do whatever he wants in the paint."

"I didn't expect you to pay attention to the information on the player recommended by Yao Ming." Kenny Smith was a little surprised. He had the impression that Barkley rarely showed interest in international players.

It is not difficult to hear from his words that this guy has followed the University of Kansas game long ago.

"Eat a pit and gain a wisdom, I still understand this truth."

"Well, did it surprise you?"

"His performance is perfect! It's hard to imagine that in this era, there will be such a super center."

"The violent style of play, the outstanding performance of dominating the inside, to be honest, I even see your shadow in him!"

"Gossip, I heard that he will participate in the NBA draft this year. What kind of pick do you think he will be selected?" Kenny Smith asked.

From the conversation between the two, it is not difficult to see that if Su Mu participates in this year's NBA draft, he will definitely not lose the draft. This is also their recognition of Su Mu's own strength.

"This year's draft market is not ideal. There are not many outstanding players to choose from. Except for Andrew Wiggins, that Jabari Parker may even become a parallel import."

"Top five?"

"If the current trend is followed, Su Mu can continue to maintain his outstanding performance on the court, and his draft pick will not be lower than the top five."

Buckley said confidently, his tone full of optimism for Su Mu.

"Then here comes the question, which team do you think Su Mu is more suitable for the top five picks?"

"Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Orlando Magic, these three teams are the most suitable for Su Mu."

Barkley thought for a moment before speaking.

The Philadelphia 76ers, it is rumored that they have long wanted to cultivate a super insider of their own. With a high-quality insider like Su Mu, the 76ers will definitely do their best to cultivate, and Su Mu can get a place in the team very well.

Los Angeles Lakers, as a traditional giant, the exposure rate of the Lakers is terrifying enough. Kobe has not yet retired, but the black Mamba, who is plagued by injuries, has long since quit the competitive age. The Lakers are also in a state of reconstruction. If Su Mu can join the Lakers , Kobe's partner O'Neal's experience can be passed on to Su Mu very well, which is considered a good choice.

As for the Orlando Magic, the team's tradition is to cultivate super centers. From Shaquille O'Neal at the beginning to Warcraft Howard later, the management has excellent experience, which is very valuable to Su Mu.

Of course, whether these three teams can get the top five picks as they wish, and whether Su Mu will become their first choice, these are unpredictable.

After all, the teams aspiring to become champions may change their minds and choose Su Mu, who has a better prospect.

In addition to the veteran combination of Barkley and Kenny Smith, before the game, players from the Memphis Grizzlies also appeared in the main stadium.

After back-to-back games, the current Grizzlies just want to enjoy this hard-won happy time.

There is no doubt that the NCAA "Sweet Sixteen" held at home is their first choice!
When the Grizzlies insider duo Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph appeared in a black suit, the entire hall burst into amazing cheers.

Obviously, the combination of black and white bears is very popular in the local area. The Grizzlies have also completed their reconstruction and become a stumbling block that no team in the NBA wants to meet.

In addition, other players of the Grizzlies also appeared one by one.

Mike Conley, who is a defensive master, plays an important role in the team. With his sophisticated style of play and steady ball handling, he is the well-deserved starting point guard for the Grizzlies.

Tony Allen, three times the best defensive first team, three times the best defensive second team, is enough to show that Mr. Tony's strong defense on the outside is the outside gate that even Kobe appreciates, and it is also a strong guarantee for the Grizzlies outside.

Little Prince Prince, the Grizzlies' starting No. [-], his defense is also excellent, from the Pistons, he has outstanding defensive experience.

The Grizzlies' starting five all have super defensive capabilities. With this staffing, which team won't cry?
Damn, even if you can win the Grizzlies, you have to take off a layer of skin!

Not to mention that there are Courtney Lee, Mike Miller, Costa Koufos, Ed Davis and other titans on the Grizzlies bench. In the Wild West in 2013-2014, the Grizzlies Bears are also extremely powerful.

"The Grizzlies' twin towers combination, let alone the Kansas twin towers." In the commentary, Barkley glanced at the starting list of the University of Kansas, and couldn't help expressing his feelings.

"The inside combination of Su Mu and Embiid? This guy Self is finally back to normal. This is the strongest lineup of the University of Kansas!"

In the last game, it seemed unreasonable to put Embiid on the bench. No matter how good Ellis is, can he compare to Embiid?

Kansas bench, looking at the Grizzlies players who kept entering the game, Embiid said with some envy: "Sure enough, it's the home field advantage. Their popularity in Memphis is too high!"

"That's it, is it considered high?" Su Mu really wanted to tell Embiid that after you were beaten into tears by Xiaoka and became a man with three nationalities, your popularity is much higher than that of the Grizzlies team.

In China, your popularity is unparalleled! .

After all, a black fan who calls you soft is also a fan.

A whistle sounded, and the game officially started!
The University of Kansas reactivated Embiid, and the other four players remained unchanged. Tap and Selden partnered outside, Wiggins played three, Embiid and Su Mu guarded the penalty area.

The UCLA starting lineup also appeared together and appeared on the big screen: Jordan Adams, Norman Powell, Kyle Anderson, Travis Weir and David Weir.

On the bench, there is also a well-known dunk king among Chinese fans: Zach LaVine!
Wiggins and Su Mu pick-and-roll, then quickly slid down and passed the ball. Su Mu went against the opponent's No. [-] position to complete a layup.

David Weir, a short insider with a height of 2 meters, has a strong body and outstanding confrontation ability, but his height limits his defensive ability. Su Mu played high and helped the team score the first wave of sports games!

"I really like this rookie!" Black Bear Randolph admired Su Mu's playing style very much. This kind of head-to-head competition is what inside players should pursue.

"He's strong, I've seen tape of him, and if given the chance, I hope the Grizzlies take him in the draft."

"Mike, your idea is very good, but obviously, with our draft pick, I'm afraid we won't be able to win this talented Chinese player." Mark spread his hands, expressing that there was nothing he could do.

Amidst the discussion of the Grizzlies generals, Su Mu completed the block again. Wiggins tried to strengthen Anderson's defense, but was seen through by the opponent in advance and completed a just-right slice of the ball.

One of UCLA's notable players, nicknamed: Kyle Anderson of Human Creepy Essence, is the best defensive player on UCLA's front line.

Regardless of the slow speed of the sledgehammer, the prediction of the defensive round, the path of the offensive player, and the sledgehammer with a tall arm and a long arm can always complete accurate interceptions.

Not only that, Anderson's ball-handling skills and mid-range shooting level are also outstanding at the small forward position.

With one-eighth of his pedigree, he was even ridiculed by Chinese fans as one of the targets that can be planned. It can be seen that this guy still has some level on the court.

"Fuck!"

The conversion attack was destroyed, and Wiggins was obviously unhappy, and even said a dirty word for the first time.

This is a rare thing. Wiggins has always been a good boy on the court, and it is precisely because of this that the evaluation of Wiggins' weak desire to win appears in the scout report.

The appearance of Su Mu has brought great help to the team. At the same time, it has subtly changed Wiggins' playing style.

"Come on, come on, I'll give you the ball!"

On the inside, Su Mu was actively seeking a position, and Selden directly handed the ball to Su Mu, who was in a hot state.

Facing David Weir, who was a bit shorter than him, Su Mu didn't have much pressure. After the confrontation, the small hook shot into the net very close to the basket.

4: 0!

The University of Kansas took the lead and took the initiative!

UCLA's new coach, Steve Alford, who only came into battle in 2012, didn't panic at all. The game has just begun. If you are fat first, you will not be fat, and then you will be overweight!
How it will end is yet to be determined!
UCLA has the ball, and Adams is advancing steadily. He is looking for opportunities and uses the pick-and-roll to open up space. Selden bypasses the wall and sticks to Adams' side, making Adams unable to complete the mid-range shot in the first place.

Pass the ball!

Adams handed the ball to Norman Powell, who was 45 degrees to the left. He was the man in UCLA who sprinted with the explosive bag!

That year, the Toronto Raptors made history by defeating the Golden State Warriors in the Finals and winning their first championship trophy in their career!
That year, Xiaoka descended into the world like a demon god, leading the Toronto Raptors all the way, defeating the Philadelphia 76 in the Eastern Conference semifinals and the Milwaukee Bucks in the finals.
That year was a legendary year in the northern region. In addition to Xiaoka's demon god, the Raptors' role players also played very well.

Among them, Norman Powell, nicknamed "Bow Jordan", is one of them.

Norman Powell's running and jumping ability is excellent, with a wingspan of 2 meters, he is good at finishing at the basket, and his confrontation ability is good enough to hit a layup in the basket confrontation. He is an active defender and good at steals.

Moreover, Powell's outside shooting is also extremely accurate, with outstanding singles ability, able to single out opponents and reach the inside.

When Adams is restricted, Powell will stand up and help the team open the situation.

Obviously, Tapp is not Powell's opponent. A simple change of direction throws off the defender, and Powell gets an open shot!
Without any hesitation!

The moment Powell took off, Su Mu rushed out from the paint area, jumped high, and flew into the air with Powell.

"Yes, when did he fly over?"

Powell's pupils widened, and fear appeared unconsciously in his body.

That mountain-like figure is getting bigger and bigger in Powell's eyes!

"Snapped!!!"

Like a volleyball player's smash, Su Mu bloodily blocked Powell's shot.

Su Mu is in good condition tonight!
