Chapter 34 Entry

"Dark horse appearance, Arizona State University Sun Devils officially become the first regular season player in the Pac-12 Conference!"

"Beat UCLA, the only undefeated team in the Pacific Big 12!"

"Officially Rise! After today everyone should know that Arizona is more than just the Wildcats!"

About five hours after the most focused game in the Pac-12 between the Sun Devils and UCLA ended, there were a lot of reports about this game on the Internet. Not to mention overwhelming, it was also the influence of the general NBA regular season.

A magnitude that cannot be compared with.

Americans all like miracles, especially for fans of these sports events: a small gain can lead to a big mistake... Such stories never lack box office success!

Such a miraculous story is happening now in the Pac-12 League!

The Arizona State University Sun Devils, a little-known team in the history of the NCAA, just defeated UCLA, which is considered the number one school in the NCAA, and reached the top of the Pacific 12 with a strong record of 16 wins and 0 losses.

The league's top spot, and the most glorious history of this team was in the 1980s. The most exciting thing for fans of this team just experienced was that they invited James Harden to join them last year.

Other than that, there is nothing noteworthy about this school.

But even if James Harden can lead this team to create history, it only helped this team achieve the third regular season record in the Pac-12 last year, failed to enter the national championship, and failed to defeat the Arizona Wildcats.

Team and UCLA!

If you fail to do these two things, it cannot be regarded as a true transformation. This is why James Harden stays. He must do these things this season to allow the Sun Devils to complete a true transformation!

Judging from the current situation, although the schedule is not halfway through, this team has completed one of their goals last season.

And we are getting closer and closer to our next goal!

With 16 wins and 0 losses, they currently rank first in the Pac-12 Conference, which can be considered a solid step toward the national championship.

But the only change to this team this year is the introduction of a guy from China. Even before coming to Arizona State University, this guy had no reputation at all!

But it was his joining that made the Sun Devils become the top powerhouse in the Pacific 12 Conference, so powerful that even UCLA was no match for them!

How could such a miracle story not attract widespread attention from American fans?

The protagonists of the story, James Harden and Lin Ri, also made all fans pay their highest respect to them.

Especially Lin Ri, also known as the sun. Most fans are actually familiar with this name. They have a certain impression of it. After all, ESPN wrote a report more than a month ago. At that time, it was said that this guy will be in the game soon.

After that, it became known to everyone in the United States. At that time, many people still didn't believe it, but now it seems that ESPN was right this time! This guy really has the ability to become famous in the United States!

He is awesome!

Take this game against UCLA. He finally scored 24 points and 14 rebounds in a single game. In addition, he also sent 5 blocks, 3 of which were sent to Jrue Holiday.

Newcomer Jrue Holiday, who has attracted widespread attention with his strong desire to attack, became synonymous with "head strength" after this game.

And this is just one of the many ways he can shine on the court.

This guy...is really awesome!

"He can do a lot of things on the court, even omnipotent. Although it is just one game, this is what he presented to me. After watching this game, I really want to review his previous games. This

That's my only thought at the moment!" Thunder general manager Presti made no secret of his love for Lin Ri.

Although it was only one game, he had already been conquered in this one game, and he was not afraid of others knowing that he was optimistic about Lin Ri.

The Thunder currently have only 4 wins, ranking second from last in the Western Conference.

Last year, Presti used the entire team to support Kevin Durant's growth. This year, it is his turn to accompany Russell Westbrook. This is also the last year of Presti's three-year plan.

Next year, he will complete the core puzzle of the Thunder's future and complete it with another high pick... This is also a common reconstruction method for small cities. There is not enough money to spend, so they can only rely on draft picks to pick.

, waiting for their growth by accompanying them year after year.

This extremely tests the general manager's vision.

Fortunately, Presti is particularly good at this.

Both last year's and this year's drafts were very successful.

As for next year's lottery, he was quite optimistic about James Harden, so he came to watch today's game, but as a result, he didn't see anything interesting from his inspection of James Harden, but he was "feeling in love" with Lin Ri.

.

He had actually heard of Lin Ri's name some time ago, not just from the ESPN report, but also from the legend about Lin Ri in the scouting circle.

That’s a bad thing to say!

But he didn't pay attention to it at the time. There were too many similar rumors every year. Before he saw a real person or saw a real person playing, Presti simply ignored them.

Moreover, his goal this year is an outside player who can come off the bench. He is really not interested in inside players!

Well...of course, now it seems that those were just words he said before he met Lin Ri.

After watching the game, he had forgotten those words.

Why not choose insiders!

Why do you need an outside player who can come off the bench!

Isn’t that Russell Westbrook?

I want an insider now!

No, I want the sun now!



Meanwhile, in a conference room at Madison Square Garden, general manager Donnie Walsh was meeting with his scouts.

His expression was not very clear.

"Why is no one following The Sun's information? You don't know about such a great newcomer? Guys, what are you doing?"

Donnie Walsh was very unhappy. Everyone was shouting that 2009 was a bad year for the draft. Except for Tyreke Evans, there were no super rookies. There were only a bunch of sophomores and juniors. But what about now? Super rookies.

Right before my eyes, none of these guys followed up!

These guys!

It really made him angry!

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a scout stood up: "Mr. General Manager, I gave you the information about The Sun as early as a month ago, but you told me that the team would not do it for one person.

It might be Yi or Yao who wastes an entire season, we need a more secure choice!"

The one who stood up was naturally Bundy. When he handed the information about The Sun to Downey, the old guy just pushed it away without even looking at it.

It was also for this reason that Bundy stopped observing the sun.

He is not surprised that the sun has made a name for itself. No one in the NCAA can stop him from his dominance at the basket, but he is still surprised that the sun can make a name for himself so quickly!

"..." Donnie Walsh was startled. Originally, he had a lot of angry things to say, but Bundy suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, causing him to fall into recollection.

Huh? Did I say that? He looked at Bundy and carefully recalled his interaction with the latter.

Oh, that seems to be the case. This guy recommended a Chinese player to him more than a month ago, but he didn't take it seriously at the time...

Well, this is very embarrassing.

It seems that this meeting can no longer be held.

Donnie Walsh really wanted to hear someone knock on the door suddenly, and then someone run in and tell him that something big happened, such as he was fired or something... Otherwise, the atmosphere would really make him feel a little embarrassed to even breathe.

In the end, he hurriedly said: "OK, I seem to have not understood some situations correctly. This is my problem. Then Bondi, come to my office. We need to discuss the follow-up to the sun. I

I believe in your vision, I also need your help in the follow-up matters!"

He has not forgotten his main purpose.

Including holding this meeting to criticize these guys is just so that they can start work as soon as possible and catch up with the follow-up progress of other team's scouts on the sun.

Although the current situation is embarrassing, it is good news for him. It is not that they know nothing about Lin Ri. At least there is a guy in their scouting team who has started following the sun early, which is beneficial to them.

Quickly catch up with other teams’ familiarity with the sun!

This is a lucky thing.

Even if it's embarrassing, Donnie Walsh can more or less accept it.

Compared to getting the sun, other things are really nothing!



General managers of the league have "entered the game" one after another, which is enough to show how big a response Lin has caused in the league. With ESPN's report on the Sun Devils again, Lin's name has once again been hotly discussed by the public, and "the sun" has suddenly become a

He has become a name with a phenomenal presence in the NCAA circle.

Lin Ri can also feel that he is indeed popular. Reporters are always appearing outside the arena, and there are even more people who want to arrange interviews with him. And it is not limited to reporters, including some TV stations who want to record an episode about

For his documentary, they all want to know how the sun grew to be what it is today!

It's just that Lin Ridu has been pushed. It's not that he doesn't want to shoot, but that he doesn't have time to shoot now. During the regular season, of course he has to focus on training. Without training, he won't be able to reach the level he is now. Without training, he will only be able to do it in the future.

At this level, he doesn't want to just stay at this level. He knows very well that with his current strength, he won't be ranked in the NBA at all. Only by continuing to train hard can he gain a firm foothold in the NBA in the future.

He doesn't want to be famous in the NCAA and quickly disappear among ordinary people in the NBA.
