The state of the team's core can affect the entire team.

This is why NBA teams are very cautious in selecting core players during reconstruction.

All general managers of NBA teams hope that the core of their team is positive and has a fighting spirit. They don't like a pseudo-core who only knows how to collect statistics on the court and takes money but does not do "personnel affairs"!

Griffin has been suppressed by Lin Ri from the beginning of the game to the present, but if there is something shining about him that attracted the scouts and general manager at the scene, it must be that he just fell to the ground and got up.

The subsequent series of actions and behaviors.

They all saw the tenacity and fighting spirit in Griffin!

If you choose such a guy as the core of the team, it will definitely be the most suitable choice.

Oklahoma players on the field also became more active after Griffin's loud roar, and they were obviously affected by Griffin's positive attitude.

The offensive momentum can affect the offensive effect. Oklahoma's offense this time because they were actively running, they directly played a good team cooperation and sent the ball into the basket.

This goal was scored.

The entire audience spontaneously burst into cheers.

Griffin's roar as he stood up after falling to the ground moved them, and they were looking forward to seeing the University of Oklahoma's rise.

The cheers of these fans obviously also affected the Oklahoma players on the court. Not only did they quickly return to defense, they also began to actively find their own matchups after the Sun Devils came to the frontcourt, and began to increase their numbers.

physical contact.

The intensity of the competition began to increase.

It’s not easy to deal with!

Lin Ri felt in trouble.

So far this season, including the first game of March Madness against Memphis, he hasn't had a tough time.

In the regular season of the Pac-12 League, the Sun Devils crushed them all the way to the end. Jordan Hill, one of the best No. 4 positions in the Pac-12 League, could not have any impact on him at all. Therefore,

Maybe James Harden has felt troubled. After all, the Sun Devils have encountered many excellent guards along the way, such as UCLA's Jrue Holiday and Darren Collison, and the super freshman from the University of Memphis.

Tyreke Evans is not a fuel-efficient player. Even James Harden will definitely have a hard time facing these guys.

But now, Lin Ri felt in trouble.

It's not that Griffin puts much pressure on him, but that he can make their entire team more active, which makes this team more difficult to deal with.

To put it simply, in the past, the teams Lin Ri encountered were "beaten to death" by them with "a stick", but today the University of Oklahoma did not directly "soften" after taking a "stick" from the Sun Devils.

He went down, but instead "waggled his head" and rushed towards the Sun Devils again.

What's even worse is that this team is more motivated!

Let’s ensure the scoring efficiency first…

Lin Ri thought for a moment and stepped forward to set a pick-and-roll for James Harden.

This is the Sun Devils' killer move. When they have to score, the first thing James Harden and Lin think of is to play a pick-and-roll with the opponent.

In the Pac-12 League, there is no problem that the two of them cannot solve with the pick-and-roll!

This time, they believe, there will be no exception.

James Harden took advantage of Lin Ri's cover and rushed directly into the paint. Following him and Lin Ri, Oklahoma's No. 1 and 4 disrupted the rhythm when they switched defenses. Neither of them followed James Harden.

This is a vacant seat.

"Bang!"

But James Harden really didn't feel good today.

After failing to score in the first two singles, he also failed to score in this layup.

Damn it!

James Harden cursed in his heart.

The cute expression became a little impatient, and at the same time he turned his head and chased the popping ball.

"Hoo!"

But the people who arrived before him were two beasts, Lin Ri and Griffin. The two shouted in unison and bumped into each other again.

"Bang!"

This time, Griffin touched the ball first, but due to Lin Ri's interference, he was unable to hook the ball into his arms and could only slap the ball toward the backboard.

But in doing so, he put himself into a disadvantageous situation.

Depend on!

Dance for me!

Griffin landed and while his legs were charging up, he was shouting in his heart. He thought he could finish charging up for the jump faster, but there was no way. Who told him to compete with a monster?

Yes……

Griffin had to admit that Lin Ri was a monster!

He is a monster that even a guy like him, who has been called a monster since childhood, has to admit!

Playing against him, even grabbing rebounds is a very stressful thing.

"Hoo!"

Shouting again, Griffin took less than a second to complete another jump.

His hand hooked toward the ball.

"Crack!"

Unfortunately, the ball that was right in front of him was hooked by another hand first, right in front of him, so close... He tried his best, but his bullet speed was still a little weaker than Lin Ri.

"Boom!"

Maybe more than a little...

Because after Lin Ri took off the second time to grab the rebound, he quickly jumped up again and completed a powerful slam dunk.

At this time, Griffin had just landed.

"Isn't this too perverted?" Kenny Smith was stunned.

Barkley was stunned. He remembered something and looked at Lin Ri's scouting report on the table in front of him. At the end, it read, Lin Ri's template: Amare Stoudemire plus

Dennis Rodman.

"These scouts are sometimes reliable!" Barkley's tone was full of envy, surprise... and a lot of emotions.

It's not just him who has these emotions, either.

The general managers of each team and the scouts in the stands also had various emotions in their hearts. Griffin was recognized as a physical monster in 2009, but now his physical fitness has been significantly improved by the sun.

This made them shocked, emotional and... excited and looking forward to it!

Of course, the ones who are excited must be the general managers of the teams who are now expected to win the No. 1 pick.

As for expectations, it also has something to do with these general managers.

They look forward to taking control of the sun and building a super team that will attract the attention of the entire league in the future!

"The 1997 draft had Tim Duncan, and the 2009 draft had the Sun. Don't doubt what I said, these are two things that can be said together! These two are both guys who are above genius...

..." Barkley suddenly said something shocking.

He can no longer pretend to be stupid. If he continues to say that The Sun can't achieve anything in the NBA, then he may be suspected by others of whether he had his brain kicked by a donkey when he kissed the donkey's ass.

He gets attention by pretending to be stupid, not by pretending to be mentally retarded. What he gets by pretending to be mentally retarded is not attention, but sympathy.

Since there's no point in pretending to be stupid, just exaggerate!

Isn’t it just a matter of gaining attention?

Either belittle it as much as possible, or elevate it directly!

"Back then, the entire league was struggling for Tim Duncan. I think this year, before the season is really over, every team with a poor record should strive for the No. 1 pick. Look at the Spurs. They selected Tim Duncan.

Tim Duncan, and then entered the playoffs for 11 consecutive years. Now, another opportunity is in front of you, get the sun, this is an opportunity..."

This guy is talking crazy again...

Kenny Smith listened to Barkley's "crazy talk" and said something in his mind. Obviously before the game started, this guy was still saying that Griffin and the Sun would never make a name for themselves in the NBA.

Although that was also a deliberate "crazy thing".

But you changed your attitude before the game was over, and it was such an obvious change, didn't you even blush?

On the field, Oklahoma City failed to score a goal this time.

Lin Ri successfully protected the rebound.

Griffin gritted his teeth and returned to defense. He couldn't get any defensive rebounds, and he still couldn't get any offensive rebounds. There was really no worse feeling than this. Even though he had the fighting spirit to keep going, his heart felt a little heavy at this time.

Yes, it's not the taste.

He also discovered for the first time that there were many things that fighting spirit could not solve.
To be continued...
