73 to 43, beating the opponent by 30 points...

This is the final score of the Sun Devils' season opener.

Just watching this game, this team is as powerful as Sanno Industries in "Slam Dunk", but Stanford is obviously not Shohoku.

So they were tortured for 30 minutes.

This is revenge for the Sun Devils!

This huge score difference is mainly reflected in the two people.

One is James Harden. He scored 25 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals in this game. Although he also made 3 turnovers, his flaws were not concealed. Based on his performance in this game, the 3 turnovers can be completely ignored.

The other one is naturally Lin Ri.

In this game, Lin Ri performed as well as in the previous three warm-up games, scoring 22 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks.

What is worth mentioning is that about 12 of Lin Ri's 22 points came from mid-range shots. Today he scored several more points outside the penalty area than inside the penalty area.

It can also be regarded as "***!"

He has always wanted to try his shooting in a game to see how well he can perform.

It's good to have a foundation this way.

If one day the team needs him to put pressure on the outside, he won't lose confidence.

After today's performance, he is obviously more confident in his shooting ability.

Although due to too many mid-range shots, his shooting percentage in this game ended up being "only" 72%, and he was unable to continue his 100% shooting percentage, but for Lin Ri, this is not something worth regretting at all.

matter.

He is not someone who deliberately pursues shooting percentage.

In his opinion, the combination of his layup and shooting tonight is much more threatening than before!

Anyway, Stanford University made several changes to his lineup, but because he did very well in both aspects tonight, there was no restriction.

And it’s not just him who feels this way, the scouts in the audience all have a higher evaluation of Lin Ri:

"This is a player with unlimited potential, who may even shock the league. He has very strong immediate combat ability, but he belongs to the future. If you miss to choose him, you will regret it very much in the future!

"

"We all know that China has basketball because of a guy named Yao Ming, but in the future we will know that China has basketball because of a guy named The Sun!"

"Terrifying physical fitness, soft touch, and extremely high popularity...but these are only part of him. This is the sun presented to us in three warm-up games and one regular season, and these are our choices.

His reasons!”

If the names were removed, some people would believe these evaluations that it was Tim Duncan or Oden back then. The evaluation is really too high!

Just one regular season game has allowed Lin Ri to receive such a high evaluation, which shows how unexpected Lin Ri brought them in this game.

Although to put it bluntly, Lin Ri surprised them by hitting frequent shots.

You must know that Orlando's No. 1 pick in 2004 has grown into a "prehistoric monster" who is extremely dominant on the defensive end and astonishingly destructive at the basket. He has not developed reliable shooting abilities in 4 years.

Although he has only played for half a month in the regular season, he averaged 22 points and 13.4 rebounds per game, proving that he is already a top-tier inside player in the league.

But the shortcoming of his single offensive method has always existed.

In the previous period, although these scouts were surprised by Lin Ri's physical fitness and destructive power at the basket, they were also worried that he would not be able to shoot well and his future dominance would be limited. The scout report on Lin Ri mentioned more.

It has more to do with his physical fitness than anything else.

This may also be the reason why many general managers have not officially paid attention to it.

There are too many talents who look like beasts during the NCAA era.

The real criterion for judging whether he is a beast or not is whether he can maintain his "beast style" after entering the NBA. Therefore, although Lin's destructive power under the basket is amazing, he has not gone through the "March Madness" and the NBA main game.

Verification, this actually does not count.

But it's different now. With excellent physical fitness and good mid-range shooting ability, Lin Ri's appeal has been greatly improved. As the same saying goes, "Rogues are not scary, only the hooligans are educated." With this hand

The bonus of investment for Lin Ri is really too great.

It can be said that after this game, Lin Ri's draft ranking will rise rapidly!

Although he became famous all over the world in one battle, although it has not reached such an exaggerated level... Lin Ri's future really brightened up all of a sudden.

"Rachel, now we have really made a profit!" Charles looked at Lin Ri celebrating with his teammates, his eyes full of joy. Originally, he just brought Rachel to try his luck, and he was half as good as Lin Ri.

I believe half of the doubts, otherwise, it would not be his turn to conduct this interview.

He has connections and knows that there is such a "Chinese beast" in Arizona State University. Those guys who are more qualified than him must also have channels to know, but these guys obviously don't believe these rumors circulating among the scouts, so they choose

In order to follow up with those more reliable teams, such as North Carolina and Michigan, these are recognized by major media as the favorites to win the championship. Starting from the first day of the regular season, their popularity will never be small.

Tracking and reporting their click-through rates and page views can definitely be guaranteed!

There is no doubt that this is the right choice.

If Charles had the same choice as them, he would not try his luck at Arizona State University.

Of course, now Charles can be sure that these guys will definitely regret it to death in a few days!

They missed a hot topic that could attract the attention of all Americans!

He and Rachel are better off!

Rachel didn't know what Charles meant by earning money, but she was really excited now. Lin Ri's dominance in this game made her blood boil.

She really didn't expect that the Pac-12 League would hide such a genius!

And she was so lucky to be able to interview such a "rising star" on her first day as an intern!

"Go, Rachel, it's our turn to do the work. Remember, don't rush for the interview. Invite him for an exclusive interview first. As long as he agrees to our exclusive interview, we will have plenty of opportunities to ask questions."

When the Sun Devils were almost done celebrating and the Arizona State University students began to leave, Charles motioned to Rachel to invite Lin Ri for an interview. He didn't know what kind of character Lin Ri was, but he knew "The Beast"

"Love beautiful women", Rachel's invitation would definitely have a higher success rate than this rough guy like him.

Moreover, since Rachel has just arrived, she should also exercise.

Well, it's definitely not because he is lazy or because he is afraid that Lin Ri will lose face by rejecting him.

"The Sun, I'm sorry, can I disturb you for a while?"

Lin Ri lowered his head and was packing his equipment. Suddenly, a weak but firm female voice reached his ears at this time. He looked up and saw that it was a female reporter, but he could tell at a glance that she had just joined the job and had a tinge on her face.

He had a green smile, not the professional smile that reporters would have.

Well, it’s quite eye-catching.

Lin Ri muttered something silently in his heart.

There is no man who doesn't like to look at beautiful women. If there is, then he must be gay.

Men look at beautiful women just like women look at handsome men. It is a natural "nature".

"What's the matter?" Lin Ri asked, but he didn't stop cleaning his hands.

"That's it, I'm Rachel Demita, a reporter from ESPN. Can I spare a moment of your time? We'd like to conduct an exclusive interview with you." Rachel said her request slowly.

"An exclusive interview with ESPN? Wow, the sun, are you already so popular? There's nothing to say, I have to agree to it! This will make NBA teams pay attention to you faster, the sun, this

But it’s ESPN!”

Before Lin Ri could say anything, Jeff on the side started shouting. Lin Ri looked at him shouting like this and couldn't say anything else, so he nodded in agreement.

There's nothing to do later anyway.

"Really?" Rachel probably didn't expect that the invitation would be successful so easily, and the joy in her eyes was completely unconcealed. Of course, she knew that she was at work now, so she tried her best to restrain her excitement, otherwise she would have

She won't just express her joy with her eyes.

Just like that, 40 minutes later, Lin Ri, Rachel and Charles were sitting face to face in the school cafe.

It was just that where they were sitting at the beginning, there were always students from Arizona State University passing by and reaching out to say hello to Lin Ri. This seriously interfered with the interview process, so they had no choice but to move to a relatively remote corner.

Then the interview officially started.

Since it was an interview invited by Rachel, this interview was mainly about Rachel asking questions, and Charles was responsible for helping her record it. Of course, before the interview officially started, Charles had already helped Rachel sort out the content of the questions.

"The Sun, you probably came to the United States as a freshman this year. Before that, you played in China. What prompted you to come to the NCAA?"

After the simple courtesy, Rachel entered the question-and-answer session, and her first question was more in-depth.

There are currently four or five Chinese players who have played in the NBA, but to be honest, the channels for these guys to enter the NBA are still different. Yao Ming became famous through an international game.

In one game, he defeated Tyson Chandler, the strongest high school student in the United States with unlimited potential at the time, and then entered the attention of NBA teams; another example is Sun Dasheng, who became famous in the Olympus team; and Yi Jianlian, who

He first attracted attention because he played in the World Championships with the Chinese national team at the age of 16, but what really attracted the attention of NBA general managers was his performance in the Chinese CBA...in short, they are different.

Now there is another guy who has chosen a different path: Lin Ri!

Rachel... No, Charles believes that this is a question that many fans will be concerned about.

"NBA, come to the NCAA to play for a while first, so that I can better adapt to the NBA later." Lin Ri stated his reasons.

In fact, his complete reason was that after watching Yi Jianlian's performance in the NBA, he felt it was necessary to come to the NCAA to adapt first.
