Chapter 35 Advance to the Final Four
In fact, the NBA draft network will also miss many people. A group of people who were unknown before have become famous after more than half a month of the championship and entered the list strongly.

This makes these players who are facing the pressure of graduating from college to find a job ecstatic. You must know that even the 30th pick in the second round signed a guaranteed contract, and compared with other jobs in society, this job obviously pays more. rich.

However, the NBA draft network's evaluation of rookies will not be judged from just one game. More often, they will consider the player's potential.For immediate combat power, they have demand, but only a small part, and usually this part of the player selection is not too high.The remaining part of the players are international players produced by non-NCAA players. These players have independent international player draft rankings, and they will also use different judging methods to make predictions.

As an authentic Chinese, Tang Wenlong entered the top ten of the draft prediction network in one breath. It is undoubtedly an extremely sensational event. His rise is unstoppable. His name, profile picture and news are constantly being posted on major domestic portals. Scrolling and playing, the popularity is growing day by day.

And Tang Wenlong's hometown TV station like Jiangsu TV, saw Tang Wenlong's unparalleled weight in the hearts of Jiangsu fans at a glance, flew to the United States by plane, and won the NCAA semi-finals including the finals in an emergency

Just the day before the start of the semi-finals, the Associated Press selected the NCAA player of the year. Unfortunately, Wesley Johnson only ranked third. John Wall, who had been very popular before, ranked Second, Evan Turner from Ohio State University won the first place.Turner won the NCAA Player of the Year award for good reason too, averaging 20.3 points, 9.2 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.7 steals per game and almost single-handedly leading the Ohio Buckeyes to the Sweet 16.

Wesley-Johnson is first of all inferior in terms of statistics. Secondly, when it comes to the ability to lead the team, Tang Wenlong's strength has been recognized. What's more, there are giants like Andy Laustin. Nana was amazing.

On the contrary, the NCAA's best coach of the year was won by Coach Jim. The old man was smiling all day, and he seemed quite satisfied with this award.The reason for his selection is even more convincing. After Jonny Flynn and others participated in the NBA draft, a team that was not favored by others actually played the best record in school history. Present this award to him.

Tang Wenlong didn't get involved in anything, but was ranked in the NCAA All-American team that year, and was also selected as the best rookie of the year by the competitor website.The best rookie on the Yahoo website, John Wall, who is also a freshman, averaged 16.6 points, 6.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game in the regular season. Tang Wenlong scored 13.8 assists and 5.7 rebounds.

As soon as the time turned, it was April 4th, and the two semi-finals started one after another!
Tang Wenlong's Syracuse University was going to take the lead against West Virginia University. After the players of the two teams were gearing up, they opened up their battles on a field of less than [-] square meters.
West Virginia is the No. 2 seed in the division and the closest normal-quality team Syracuse has encountered so far.

There are two players in their team that are worthy of attention. One is the head star and small forward Darcyen Butler, who averaged 17.4 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. General's Devon Ebanks!
The strength of the two is beyond doubt, especially Ebanks, who just scored 17 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in the elimination of championship favorite Kentucky, leaving DeMarcus Cousins ​​​​disgraced.

Facing the favorites like Syracuse University this time, West Virginia University's mentality is surprisingly stable.

"Be careful of the No. 9 player on the opposite side. He is the starting point of Syracuse University's tactics!" Before the game, the head coach of West Virginia University repeatedly emphasized this point to Willington-Smith. From their professional perspective, Tang Wenlong The threat today is bigger than Wesley Johnson, who can score a lot of points in a game.

"Don't worry, coach!" Willington-Smith smiled cheerfully, looking confident.

As a result, only 4 minutes into the game, Tang Wenlong made three sudden breakthroughs. Every time he broke through, West Virginia University's defense lost its position. Although Syracuse University failed to seize the open opportunity, it really surprised the head coach. Break out in a cold sweat.

As a result, his Diaoyutai immediately couldn't sit still, ran over and called a timeout, and turned around to arrange the team's 1-3-1 zone defense tactics.

"Defend Wall's breakthrough zone defense!" Tang Wenlong's eyes lit up when he returned to the court. The changes in West Virginia University's defensive tactics were clear in his eyes. On his side, there was a look of malice in his eyes.

"I'm not so stupid." After Tang Wenlong muttered, he handed the ball to Wesley Johnson who raised the line to organize, opened up space by himself, and ran to the bottom line.

He knew very well that he was going to run to the bottom corner and use the bottom line to break through to deal with West Virginia University's zone defense.

As a result, he looked back and almost didn't jump up angrily. Wesley Johnson, who received the ball, ignored his meaning at all. The position found that there were too many enemies ahead, and made a chic mid-range jumper.

"Damn. Hey, I actually got in. You're the one!" Tang Wenlong was about to yell, but when he realized that the basketball had fallen into the basket, he choked back his words.

When Wesley Johnson returned to the defense, he reached out to give Tang Wenlong a high-five. Tang Wenlong glared at him and patted his palm reluctantly.

"The opponent is playing zone defense. I don't know what zone defense tactic the next round will be. Try to follow my command." Tang Wenlong said bluntly.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Wesley Johnson nodded and bowed, with an appearance of humbly admitting his mistake.

Tang Wenlong was speechless, he was almost Alexander as a point guard.These black basketball players are often willing to rely on simple and rude offensive methods to solve the game, but they often enter unreasonably.

For example, Ebanks of West Virginia University, who was the offensive side, simply couldn't attack after he came back. After receiving the ball, he made a dull breakthrough on the spot, and then hit a basket against Anderson, which was also hit.

In fact, Tang Wenlong himself did not realize that during his one year in college, many of his technical moves were selectively forgotten. Under such a basketball cultural atmosphere, he sometimes secreted too much adrenaline, and would choose some seemingly inappropriate moves. Rational offensive methods, such as riding and dunking Matt Howard before, such as confronting Hayward before knocking him into pieces.And the effect achieved is not only two points, but also a surge in the morale of the players on the scene!

Tang Wenlong didn't understand morale, but he knew that these black people would sometimes quickly go into a frenzy state after completing a dunk, and their strength was several times stronger than in the normal state before.In college competitions, many times, due to a sudden outbreak, the opportunity is lost, or even desperate.

So how to stimulate the fighting spirit of his teammates, he is very clear in his mind. This is also the basketball philosophy he realized after he became the team commander.

After halftime, the two teams were evenly matched, and Syracuse University only led by 3 points.

West Virginia University is also not good at hanging. Although there is no complicated tactics, it can grasp many opportunities that appear on the field. Among the 8 transition attacks in the first half, West Virginia scored 7 times. , the only time it came back was because Tang Wenlong retorted.

The real showdown is in the second half.

Tang Wenlong didn't dare to hide his secrets. Seeing that it was difficult for Andy Laustin to get outstanding opportunities, he decisively occupied his share of shots and attacked with the ball himself.

The two teams fought anxiously to a 5 tie until the last 58 minutes.

After the game, Ebanks said unconvinced: "Syracuse University just made a shot at a critical moment. It's no big deal. We didn't make a few shots, so we lost the game." The meaning of the words is that Syracuse University did not have the strength to suppress them obviously, but we did not make a goal at the last moment and lost the opportunity of the game.

Wesley Johnson retorted after hearing this: "I laughed. Isn't this kind of key ball grasping a reflection of the team's strength? Our Super Tang has an invincible heart. Look at his two shots at the last moment. So hot-blooded, so calm, like a snow wolf baring its fangs!"

Coach Jim had a headache for Wesley Johnson. After the semi-finals, the NCAA arranged a simple press conference for the two teams. Unexpectedly, this guy was so uneasy, and he had a spat with Ebanks. The media who finally got the interview opportunity were elated.

Look at Tang Wenlong, how quiet the press conference was.

Tang Wenlong was drunk: "Actually, these two are talking too fast, and labor-management English has not been practiced to the level of rapping. How do you want me to interrupt?"
