Back in 84, he became Jordan’s lifelong enemy!

Chapter 28 Consolation Prize Su Wen!
Kentucky scored.

After Turpin received the ball inside, he did not choose to fight Barkley hard like Bowie. Instead, he feinted and passed the ball to Jim Mast, who was cutting in. The latter pulled it up and shot. Two point hit.

6:2
Su Wen continued to get the ball inside and felt that Bowie was pushing against him behind him. He quickly turned around and slipped into the basket from the other side.

Bowie struggled to catch up, but when he stepped into the basket and tried to block the ball, Su Wen pushed him away.

"Bang!"

After Su Wen pushed him away, he dunked hard with both hands. When he let go of the basket, he pulled hard and shook the entire basketball stand.

With his feet on the ground, he looked at the trembling backboard, wondering if he could tear the rim off if he was any harder.

Thinking about the future Shark O'Neal who destroyed many NCAA baskets eight or nine years in the future, he finally chose not to try.

The team scored 8 points, and Su Wen alone scored 6 points. When he turned around, he continued to look at Bowie, spread his hands, and said helplessly, "So Easy!"

Bowie turned green and white again, angry and helpless.

Positioned in the frontcourt, he wanted to continue beating Su Wen, but he no longer had the ball.

Dickie Beal handed over the ball to Kenny Walker immediately, and the latter caught the ball and passed by Posen.

After bringing Person inside, seeing that he couldn't attack the frame, he separated again and passed to Jim Mast.

Master failed to make the shot this time.

"mine!"

The basketball bounced high, and Bowie was pushed behind him by Su Wen. He watched helplessly as the opponent roared and grabbed the rebound with a slight jump.

In the transition between offense and defense, Kentucky reacted quickly and retreated quickly, trying its best to delay the Tigers' fast break.

The Tigers were forced into a position battle.

But when Person rushed forward with the ball, he passed the ball directly into the inside and into Su Wen's hands.

In view of the scene where his teammates were easily thrown away in the previous goal, Teping took the initiative to help defend and double-team Su Wen.

But when he stopped in front of Su Wen, he was shocked to find that the ball in the latter's hand had disappeared, and then he heard a "clang" from behind him.

He turned around and saw Barkley dunk with both hands.

Seeing the dazed look on his face, Su Wen smiled and sarcastically said: "You don't think I can only score but not pass, do you?"

The offense and defense changed sides again. This time, Turpin opened the scoring account for the team.

After catching the ball, he followed the route covered by his teammates, drove to the basket, and also dunked.

10:4
Kentucky is still 6 points behind.

It's a bit tricky!
The coach on the sidelines, Joe Hall, felt a little dissatisfied when he saw that his team's offense was so difficult, and they had to rely on screens and pick-and-rolls to score every point.

His dissatisfaction came from Bowie.

It was Bowie's inability to beat Su Wen in the front, which caused them to lose their strength. Without Bowie's strength, the offense fell into a struggle.

Their attack mode is initiated from the inside out, which is also the tactical feature they have always relied on.

No way, who said their inside advantage was big enough?
But today, it was just the beginning, and Bowie didn't work. This was beyond his expectation.

On the other hand, their opponents, because Su Wen played extremely strong inside and frequently succeeded in beating Bowie, the offensive situation became more and more relaxed.

Su Wen's previous assist and goal, Joe Hall always felt that it would not be the last time.

Sure enough, in the rest of the game, every time Su Wen encountered a double-team, he would score the ball.

Either to Barkley, or to the outside.

The Tigers always penetrate the interior after he catches the ball, pulling on the defense and looking for scoring opportunities.

Under the control of Su Wen, the University of Kentucky's defense was somewhat focused on one thing and not the other, leaking people everywhere.

They quickly launched a 13:5 offensive climax, extending their lead to 12 points.

21:9
Joe Hall couldn't bear it anymore and quickly called for a timeout.

The game time has just passed 5 minutes.

"What a surprise, Kentucky was beaten by Auburn in the beginning." Marty Blake looked at the players from both sides returning to the court, chirping, with a look of regret on his face.

"This Su's field of vision is so broad. He can always see his teammates in the open space immediately. He is really an amazing kid."

“10分5篮板4助攻，0分1篮板0助攻2失误。”迪克·马奎尔没直接回应他的话，反而莫名说出了一串数据。

"what?"

Blake looked at him confused.

Then I saw that the other party had taken out a notebook at some point and was making gestures on it.

He took a closer look and saw the data comparison between Su Wen and Sam Bowie.

The former string of data is Su Wen, and the latter string of data is Bao Wei.

The difference is huge!

"Interesting!" Blake said with a smile: "This Su, it looks like he beat up Sam Bowie."

"Ok!"

Maguire nodded, "He dominated Bowie on both offense and defense. The latter didn't seem to know how to play in front of him."

As he said this, he didn't know what he was thinking of, and he sighed, "I didn't expect that this little guy is not only good at offense, but also has a pretty good defensive performance."

"It seems like your picks after the second round won't be able to pick him up." Blake snickered.

"Yes." Maguire felt a pang of sadness when he thought about the team's cunning move to send him out in the first round last year. "If he continues like this, his ranking will only get higher and higher."

"The end of the first round is not his limit!"

Will Sue's draft rankings get higher and higher?

Bill Burtka, who was behind him, felt sad as he listened to Maguire's words.

Although his current task is to track and observe players in the Southeastern Conference, after accidentally discovering Su Wen, he couldn't care less about anyone and focused on tracking the other player.

Of course, this is just a compliment from him.After all, whatever he likes will most likely be a high pick.

Sam Bowie and Melvin Turpin may all be high-draft players. Even Charles Barkley, who the Lakers may have picked at the end of the first round, will be difficult to win.

After Su Wen appeared, he believed that the opponent was just a freshman who had just played and was only slightly famous. He thought that the pick would not be too high. Before the second round, the most were at the end of the first round.

This was what Su Wen thought before he encountered a truly powerful enemy, and then he realized that he had been tracking and observing.

But after observing the game, Su Wen's performance exceeded his expectations.

Too strong!

Even Sam Bowie, who has always been favored and attracted much attention, was eaten to death by it.

This kind of performance cannot be stopped at the end of the first round.

When Burtka thought of this, his heart throbbed, and he began to consider whether to report Su Wen to his superiors.

If you apply, the management may not necessarily take it seriously, because they are the favorites to win the championship at this time and have a strong lineup, so they don't need to pay too much attention to a freshman.

But he felt a little pity if he didn't report it.

Although Su Wen is only [-] meters tall, his talent is so outstanding.

Whether it's mobility, impact, speed, or jumping, it all makes him happy.

This Su Wen, in his opinion, even if he doesn't play inside, he can still do something on the outside.

Just when Burtka started to struggle, the game started again.

Bowie, who returned to the court, regained the team's attention and frequently caught the ball in the paint.

However, Su Wen's continued physical confrontation made him extremely uncomfortable and had to choose to distribute the ball more often.

Although it was impossible for Su Wen to guard against all his attacks, he still scored some points, but most of Bowie's offense struggled against this guy.

Fortunately, he increased the number of ball transfers and began to activate the University of Kentucky's offense, no longer focusing on him.

In this way, the University of Kentucky's offense improved, and it was able to compete with Auburn University, going back and forth.

However, it was just back and forth, and they were never able to close the point difference, allowing the 12-point gap to last until the end of the first half.

Before walking into the tunnel and returning to the locker room, Sam Bowie glanced at Su Wen on the other side, feeling extremely complicated.

At this time, he didn't know how many points the opponent had scored or how many rebounds he had gotten. In short, he was really blown away.

Suppressed to the point of losing his temper.

His contemptuous trash talk during the jump ball was forming into a boomerang, hitting him in the face wildly and becoming his own joke.

Grandma's!

52:40
The score at halftime was beyond everyone's expectations.

Before the game, most people did not think that the extremely powerful University of Kentucky would be beaten like this by Auburn University. Most of them thought that Auburn would struggle for a while and then surrender in the second half.

The University of Kentucky's lineup is simply too strong.

Three of their five starters have received national attention and have been ranked in the first round or even high on the draft forecast list.

The other two, even if they don't make it to the first round, will still be drafted.

But for such a strong team, they were beaten by Auburn University in the first half and fell behind by 12 points.

This is something no one could have imagined.

As a result, after Su Wen left the field, he attracted the attention of countless people, and these eyes were fixed on him as he entered the players' tunnel.

16 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block;

Here are his first half numbers.

Although he took fewer shots later and participated more in the team's offensive system, he still scored 16 points.

And in addition to scoring, his 7 rebounds and 7 assists are also very scary.

It's incredible that a freshman actually got nearly a triple-double in the half in the hands of Sam Bowie and Melvin Turpin of the powerful University of Kentucky.

“It’s really unstoppable at the end of the first round!”

Maguire looked at Su Wen's data on his notebook, shook his head, and smiled bitterly.

He was thinking about whether he should give some advice to the management and pay more attention to this kid.

Seeing his frown, Blake teased: "I think you should pay more attention to other people."

"There is a high probability that this kid will be a mid-range pick in the first round."

Who else could I follow?

Maguire felt very bitter inside.

He still has deep resentment towards the management's operations.

In fact, he understands why the front office traded away his first-round pick, for Patrick Ewing.

The management seems to have a consensus, which is to perform badly to win next year's No. [-] pick.

They are also betting that Ewing will not choose to participate in this year's draft and stay until next year.

Because there have been rumors that he will complete his four years of college and will not run for office in advance.

That's what management is betting on.

However, they, or the entire league, have not received a personal commitment from Ewing himself, and they don't know whether he will run for the election this year.

Almost the entire league is waiting for his decision.

Once Ewing declares for this year's draft, the Knicks will be finished!
If Ewing doesn't get it, then Su Wen won't get the consolation prize either.

Thinking of this, Maguire became very frustrated.

He couldn't accept the management's gambling addiction at all!
