"With a 12-point victory over the University of Memphis, the Arizona State University Sun Devils broke history and became the top 32 teams in the NCAA this season"

"With 23 points and 12 rebounds, The Sun was dominant in the low post. There's nothing else he can't do!"

"Tyrik Evans is eliminated, The Sun and James Harden advance to the next round!"

…

After the game, many media, including ESPN and other well-known media, reported on the game, and they reported on the game from multiple levels and perspectives.

Of course, with the popularity of The Sun and James Harden, such exposure is necessary.

Especially the sun!

This game alone attracted eight or nine scouts and the team's general manager. Judging from the appeal to the NBA guys, he has even surpassed Griffin.

In the Oklahoma game that was played on the same day as Lin Ri, there were only 7 scouts and team general managers on site...

Unknowingly, Lin Ri's appeal to the NBA guys has quietly surpassed Griffin's!

Judging from the results of this game, the general manager and the team’s scouts who chose to watch The Sun will not regret their choice, because The Sun played as always in this game.

Performance, he can cooperate with the pick-and-roll in the high post, pass the ball, and can also make mid-range shots by himself. His dunk after entering the basket even caused more than 70,000 people to cheer at the same time. This is what he has done in the Pacific 12 League.

The performance is now also displayed on a higher stage in "March Madness".

At the same time, he also brought new "surprises".

Before the start of "March Madness", his inability to hold the ball was his revealed weakness.

In this battle, although he still had no performance with the ball in the high post, he was no longer at a loss after holding the ball in the low post. In the battle with Memphis, he made 6 of 8 shots from the low post. Whenever he got the ball in a 1v1 situation,

He did not hesitate and was extremely efficient in the end, looking like a "little expert in low-post singles".

An inside player who can run, jump, pick-and-roll, and hit mid-range shots is already a treasure. Now that this treasure has also shown his low-post singles ability, he is even more of a treasure among treasures.

"I am very optimistic about the sun. He will not only succeed in the NCAA, he will also succeed in the NBA. He has such talent and ability!"

"The most terrifying thing is not what this guy has now, but that this guy will always come up with new ones. How can such a guy with endless talents and imagination not make people excited?"

"The sun is definitely the biggest surprise for the NCAA this year, there's nothing to say about it!"

This is the emotion that Bill Walton, Drexler and Larry Bird on the commentary desk expressed in front of the camera after the game. The rational ESPN commentators Bill Walton and Drexler

After this game, his views on Lin Ri were no longer "rational", but full of incredible emotion.

Larry Bird looked as "cool" as ever - he looked like "I knew this guy was so awesome". But in fact, his heart was already churning: Wow, he's really awesome.

The cow exploded!

In addition to these old faces, Yao Ming was also caught by reporters who were stationed there and was forced to express his views on Lin Ri. This was also the first time that he talked about topics related to Lin Ri. Although the media had asked him questions before

I had asked questions about Lin Ri, but he changed the topic. This time when reporters caught Lin Ri after his game, he naturally couldn't change the topic anymore: "The Sun is a very talented guy. He is the best in the NBA."

He is a talented player. As a compatriot, I am very happy to see him in the NBA in the future, and the path he has chosen can be regarded as finding another path to the NBA for Chinese players. He is great, great!"

Yao Ming gave it high praise.

In fact, after Yi Jianlian failed to adapt to the NBA, China's domestic media, including old players such as Yao Ming, rarely evaluated young players in this way in public. They did not dare to praise any young players anymore, and

It is to give them some moderate room for growth. This is also the reason why Lin Ri chose "Don't Disturb" at Station C after he started to gain momentum in the Pacific 12 League.

Not everyone can turn stress into motivation.

But now, after Lin Ri has adapted for a season and has indeed performed well, Yao Ming has nothing to worry about and directly speaks out what is in his heart.

In his opinion, Lin Ri is different from these Chinese players. This not only refers to his playing style, but also the path he has chosen. If he is finally successful in the draft, he will be the first to pass the NBA.

Players!

There is no doubt that this is an attempt. If Lin Ri finally enters the NBA and performs in the NBA, then this path will be another option for Chinese players to enter the NBA!

To be honest, this is an amazing thing.

This is also the basis for Yao Ming's appreciation of Lin Ri.

He is very familiar with the domestic youth training system. With Lin Ri's talent, as long as he wanted to, he would have been selected by the youth training team, and then trained year by year, and finally entered the CBA through the youth training team, and performed well.

, you can also enter the NBA.

This is also how people like Yao Ming entered the NBA.

But he didn't. He took a path that had been traveled by his predecessors but not taken before.

Really... great!

Yao Ming's high evaluation of Lin Ri did not cause much repercussions in the United States. There are many people in the United States who praise Lin Ri. As a Chinese compatriot of Lin Ri, Yao Ming's evaluation of him will be more special, but it is not as good as Lin Ri's.

Compared with Larry Bird and others, Yao Ming's attention is definitely lower.

The same is true.

Therefore, Yao Ming's evaluation caused greater repercussions in China.

Moreover, Zhang Weiping and Xu Jicheng were there. The evaluation they received from Yao Ming about Lin Ri was not just a brief sentence or two. They conducted an exclusive interview that lasted half an hour. Yao Ming was more willing to speak to the Chinese people. Throughout the

During the interview, they also made some guesses about Lin Ri's future playing style in the NBA.

The three of them only talked about this topic and laughed frequently.

The talent Lin Ri is showing now, and his future, really have a more beautiful picture.

But while a few of them were chatting, the discussion on America.com changed in an instant...

Because the University of Oklahoma won too!

Their victory means that Griffin and Lin Ri will officially meet in the top 32 to advance to the top 16.

These are Blake Griffin and Lin Ri!

One is a wild power forward who has been dubbed the "No. 1 pick in the 2009 draft" by countless experts since the beginning of the season. His violent attack on the frame is his trademark, his passionate dunks and his explosive physical fitness are all impressive.

Thinking of Sean Kemp, the Sonics' "Rain Man" back in the day!

There is another one that is even more legendary!

Until the start of this season, no NBA team had any information about him. He had never played in the American high school league, and had never appeared in any international competitions. But in just two or three games, he

Within a few months, this guy and his school went from being unknown to being well-known across the country. Not only did he appear in ESPN columns many times, but he was also recognized by ESPN as "a guy who has a presence as dazzling as the sun on the court."

!

The same gorgeous playing style, but a more comprehensive ability than Griffin, allowed him to go directly into the top ten of the first round from being out of the predicted picks of major draft websites in just a few months.

This is far from his limit!

How could such an encounter between two guys not attract huge attention?

In addition, there were some small beefs between the two of them before: Griffin once said to reporters that no matter who he compared with, he was the better one. After that, Lin Ri also gave his remarks to

In response, Lin Ri also thought that he was the best guy!

They are from the same class, in the same position, with the same playing style, and with the same extremely talented physical fitness. There is beef between the two of them... Just this script, you say, how can it not arouse the expectations of the fans?

In fact, less than half an hour after the news of promotion from the University of Oklahoma officially spread, all the media stopped talking about the performance of these two guys in their respective top 64 games to advance to the top 32 when they published their reports.

Their conversation turned directly into their expectations for the performance of these two guys!

It can be said that although this game is only for the top 32 to advance to the top 16, the expectations of the fans are almost the same as this year's NCAA finals.

If it were for the general managers of NBA teams, this game would be more attractive to them than even this year's finals.

Which one of them is better...this game may give the answer!

While all fans are looking forward to this battle, Thabeet was also asked about his views on the two men meeting on the "March Madness" stage.

There were only three inside monsters in the 2009 draft, excluding Griffin and Lin Ri, and Thabeet was the only one left.

"I'm looking forward to this game and I'll be watching it all." There was no game in Connecticut that day, so Thabeet was able to watch the game.

"Who do you think will win? Or who do you expect to win more?" The reporter asked another question, but this question obviously had a pitfall.

"I'm looking forward to playing against both of them." But Thabeet, who has been in the NCAA for three years, can't take the bait so easily.

"And..." Thabeet paused for a moment. He wanted to say that no matter which one of them wins, they will face the University of Michigan in the top 8 to advance to the top four. Although Michigan does not have any good prospects in the draft, but

Their overall strength is very strong, and the five starters are all the top players in the NCAA. However, various reasons have affected their path to higher-level leagues. But in the NCAA, no matter which team encounters them, it will be a problem.

It's difficult to deal with, including Thabeet, who has no confidence in defeating this team!

In his opinion, if the Sun Devils meet Oklahoma City, it will be difficult to defeat them.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate to say what he said. He had no ill intentions, and there was no guarantee that the media would not help him derive any ill intentions, so he changed his words: "Anyway, I am looking forward to this game!"

At the same time that Thabeet's interview was reported by the media, buses from Arizona State University and Oklahoma City also arrived at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas.
