last super center

Chapter 34 Young, representing everything unknown!
"The cooperation between these two people is really tacit. Did they really start playing together this year?"

Barkley turned his head suspiciously and looked at his commentator partner.

"Please, do you need to develop a tacit understanding when playing with a player like Su Mu? Throw the ball in the sky, that's where his battlefield will be!"

No matter what kind of vocabulary is used to describe the scene that does not appear now, just like the freeze frame when Janeway is connected, it is an impromptu interpretation, so it can be called a classic spread!
The cries of the Jayhawks fans have already toppled the ceiling of this arena, and even UCLA has experienced a brief stagnation.

The momentum was like a rainbow. While the score was behind, the Songhawks completely overtook the stadium, and UCLA was struggling to move forward as if it was mired in a quagmire.

Against the loud noise, Adams dribbled forward with a serious face, and there were countless voices in his ears, which would greatly affect the mentality of the players, not to mention that these were all about 20-year-olds. young people.

You can't get rid of one-on-one, you can only rely on the pick-and-roll to stretch the space.

After two consecutive pick-and-roll screens, Adams had a rare shot in this game, and the shot was broken outside the three-point line!
"Duang!"

One success, one success, one failure, one failure!
Accompanied by the cheers of the audience, the sound of hammering iron seems to have become an inconspicuous part of the soundtrack. With this passionate performance, the Songying team took advantage of the fiery music before cooling down, and launched a suffocating fast-break conversion again!

Su Mu took the lead, a center forward, striding forward, which was impossible before.

But now, it really appeared in front of everyone.

There was no pause after receiving the pass from Wiggins, and the basketball was thrown to the frontcourt from the air.

Selden, who has been aggrieved for a long time, finally has a role to play!

After receiving the ball, he made an easy layup. He was already in the front position, and he single-handedly rushed into the enemy camp very easily.

The Pine Eagles played a fast-break transition, and they scored in just three seconds, rewriting the score again!
During the whole process, the basketball didn't even hit the ground, it completed its mission in the air, and finally was easily put into the basket by Selden.

Exaggerated conversion speed, exaggerated conversion score!

"Beep!"

Less than 2 minutes into the second half, the UCLA head coach was forced to ask for a timeout again.

51: 35!

The score can not tell the change of the field, three rounds of attack, three different attack methods, three kinds of passionate Pengbai who are enough to destroy self-confidence!

The audience, including the live commentary, fell into a frenzy!

Steve Alford is not an idiot. The dejected expressions of the team fully showed the problem. They were beaten lifelessly by the Jayhawks. Although this timeout was wasted, the arrow had to be used, and the point difference had reached 16. Points, coupled with low morale, Steve Alford had to make changes.

"With a flowing offense and a slam dunk like Mount Taishan, UCLA performed the passionate passion of "March Madness" to the extreme. It belongs to the youthful storm of young people. Such a quick transition is extremely rare even in the NBA!"

"They remind me of the "Show-time" period of the Lakers in the 80s, a visual feast, never tired of watching!"

Indescribably cool - the Lakers "Show-time"!
If you are a young fan, it may be difficult to understand what the Lakers did in the 80s. It was the most glorious moment in the history of the Lakers, and it was also a glorious period that everyone will remember!
"Show-time" is the performance time. The "Show-time" of the Lakers refers to the legendary Lakers team led by Magic Johnson. The arrival of Johnson injected the gorgeous factor into this team. Passing and subtle but solid skills make the game pleasing to the eye, which is also the origin of "Show-time".

As the highest-level basketball game in the world, it is not easy to win the championship in the NBA, and it is even more difficult to create a dynasty!
however!
Just winning championships wasn't enough for the Lakers in the 80s, it was the way the Lakers played that changed the NBA.

It's really a testament to the absurd level of dominance the Lakers have, and anyone born 50 years ago or so can only imagine the era before the Lakers became the most important superpower in the NBA.

If anyone still can't imagine an era of "Show-time," they'll be able to see for themselves on television this Sunday that HBO's "Moment of Victory: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty" is an origin story, not the Lakers (1947 Founded in Minneapolis in 1979), the Los Angeles Lakers began with the team's whirlwind 80-[-] season.

There may be no more unfortunate trade in sports than Jack Kent Cook's sale of the Lakers to Jerry Buss in 1979.

In nearly 20 years in Los Angeles, the Lakers have only won one championship, and after the ownership change, they will win 9 of the next 5 championships!
In 43 years, nearly twice as many championships as any other NBA team has won.

But winning games wasn't enough, what revolutionized the league was the way the Lakers played and how that style fit into the product Buss was ultimately trying to sell.

If it weren't for a conscious effort to foster the Lakers' signature philosophy, this franchise might never have attracted Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal or LeBron James.

And this idea: celebrity, prestige, unspeakably cool, wouldn't exist without the "Show-time" generation.

Led by Magic Johnson, Skyhook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy and David Thompson (Klay Thompson's father), the ultra-luxury lineup is the most gorgeous and straight-forward lineup in the "Show-time" era. Bai's dominant style of play!

The four of them completely changed the offensive style of basketball on the court. The magician showed a very gorgeous style of play. His head full of basketball wisdom was full of unconstrained tactics. Teammates, the exaggerated historical precipitation of the Lakers kicked off from this moment!

Just like the former "Show-time" Lakers, the Kansas Jayhawks relied on excellent defense on the court, and Su Mu played an indispensable role in it. The survival weapon of this team has become even more powerful because of Su Mu's existence. Sharpness is also more pleasing to the eye because of Su Mu's existence!
"The "Show-time" period that belongs exclusively to the University of Kansas! This "Crazy March" will probably become even crazier!"

With the deepening of the game, the two commentators have rarely mentioned the UCLA players. Kansas’s highlight performance has long made them forget about the other team, and the endless wonderful performances have given "March Madness" a color boost. Countless splendor.

The audience just remembered that Kansas played wonderful performances on the court time and time again. When the score was fully drawn, everyone was more interested in admiring the game. The competitiveness between games has become dispensable.

Zach LaVine, who just played, the choice of playing time shows Steve Alford's distrust of LaVine.

After all, LaVine was not the main force in the team in college, but more of a sixth man on the team.

Outstanding physical talent and explosive jumping ability allowed LaVine to break out his own sky in the college league.

But after entering the "March Madness", LaVine's disadvantages continued to emerge.

Poor confrontation ability, shots after contact, LaVine's shooting percentage is declining, which also makes Steve Alford's trust in LaVine no longer as strong as before after the first two games .

After all, Kansas they are facing tonight is very strong on the defensive end. If LaVine is allowed to play, he will directly face the strongest high school student Andrew Wiggins.

Compared to LaVine, Steve Alford obviously trusts the sledgehammer more.

About 15 minutes into the second half, all the fans suddenly started shouting: "Triple double! Triple double! Triple double!!!"

Su Mu looked up at the big screen. It turned out that his own statistics had reached 22 points, 13 rebounds and 9 blocks, only one step away from a triple-double!
Yes, not an assist, but a block!

Su Mu guarded the inside line and completely resolved UCLA's offensive frame tactics, one by one, one by one, one by one!
Before he knew it, Su Mu's blocked shots reached the critical point again!
Block a triple-double?

What kind of operation is this?
Unlike the NBA league where the tortoises will be rampant in the future, triple-doubles are extremely rare in the NCAA arena, especially in the NCAA "March Madness" arena!
Everyone is looking forward to the moment when Su Mu achieves a triple-double!
What does Su Mu need most now?
He decided to participate in the 2014 NBA draft, what he lacks most is exposure and continuous outstanding performance on the court.

Compared with the explosive dunks and the solid blocks, the best way to increase exposure is data explosion!
No one will remember that you scored [-] points, and no one will remember that you grabbed more than a dozen rebounds. The comprehensive single data will never become a topic that people like to talk about.

Unless you can score 81 points in a single game like Kobe, and even surpass Kobe and become a stronger player.

Otherwise, even if you can score 50, 60, or 70 points, people will still remember Kobe who scored 81 points.

Just like Michael Jordan, who won six championships and created dynasties twice in a row, even if you can do the same feat as Jordan, people still won't think you are stronger than Jordan.

Only by surpassing can we break everything!
In the last 5 minutes, the UCLA players understood that even if I can't win the game, I won't let you complete a triple-double of blocked shots!

If such data is spread out, where will their UCLA face be put?

Steve Alford gave a death order, determined not to let Su Mu win a triple-double.

The game can be lost, but the pride cannot be lost!
For the next 3 minutes, you can see a strange scene.

Any offensive player standing in front of Su Mu will pass the ball immediately without any pause.

Su Mu scratched his head, something is wrong, this group of people is just like this, seeing that I have no desire to attack at all?
The audience on the sidelines couldn't wait anymore. You said you really wanted to get a triple-double of blocks, but if you got a triple-double of assists, wouldn't it be easy to catch?
It's all right now, they won't confront you at all, if you want a triple-double, go ahead and dream!
"If you don't talk about martial arts, the UCLA players really don't talk about martial arts!"

In the commentary seat, Barkley said angrily.

He was only short of a block, and he was so obsessive-compulsive that he wished he could go on stage and give Su Mu a bloody cap, even if he made a fool of himself, but in his heart, it was comfortable and he didn't want it.

"Hahaha, this is the strength of the third seed? Damn, a bunch of bastards!"

"Single Su Mu, I let you single Su Mu, are you deaf!"

"I heard that someone from UCLA has announced that they will participate in this year's draft. With this group of talents, can they be selected in the first round?"

"I don't care, Su Mu must get a triple-double tonight, as I said, it won't work for anyone!"

Amid the ridicule and discussion of the fans, Su Mu's last block finally came!

You can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day!

UCLA is still working hard, but the huge point difference has made them lose confidence.

Seeing that Su Mu was not under the basket, Powell rushed to the basket, but Su Mu came out from a diagonal stab!

Embiid covered Su Mu completely behind him, causing Powell to have an illusion that Su Mu could never completely cover himself!
As everyone knows, the ruthless Su Mu even wanted to buckle Embiid!
Across Embiid's body, Su Mu showed an inhuman physical talent.

Press Powell's layup firmly on the backboard, the tenth block, and a triple-double!
With the triple-double in hand, Su Mu was still a little happy. After all, this was his first triple-double in "March Madness", and it was also his first display on a very competitive stage.

During the regular season, the gap in the level of the teams is too large, so what kind of triple-double is there to win.

Only on this most intense stage, the value of a triple-double can be revealed.

In the end, the Kansas Jayhawks easily defeated their opponents 84:70, won the "Sweet Sixteen" strong matchup, and won the tickets to the "Elite Eight".

"The lads played really well and both teams showed us a different spirit.

Finally, let us congratulate the University of Kansas, successfully approaching the "Elite Eight"! "

"The two teams that have attracted much attention in this game, Kansas passed the test smoothly, and the team's starting center Su Mu even played an extremely explosive performance on the court."

"He played the whole game for 40 minutes, and he still played the whole game tonight! He scored 26 points, 16 rebounds and 10 blocks. To be honest, I haven't seen such horrible statistics for a long time."

16 rebounds, 10 blocks, as an inside player, can have such a performance is enough to explain everything.

Dominating offense and defense, Su Mu set up the most solid barrier in the interior.

"It's hard to imagine that this is just a 19-year-old young player with unlimited potential. Could it be that the league is about to give birth to another super center?"

Barkley's tone was full of expectation. In the last century, in the era of his conquest, the emergence of the four major centers made everything different.

With the decline of the center, the times are constantly changing. The requirements for the inside line are no longer rebounding, low singles, better athletic ability, and better shooting. Since Nowitzki, big men need to shoot. The concept of shooting has been continuously carried forward by everyone.

Among them, the most obvious is Kevin Durant!

Influenced by the old driver, Durant has practiced martial arts and created the pinnacle of the era of big men shooting.

"I hope Su Mu can connect the past and the future. In this era, a super center is so needed!"

Barkley saw hope in Su Mu.

Being young represents everything unknown.
