Won the game.

At the same time, his personal statistics were 24 points, 14 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 assists, with a shooting percentage of 64%, which also beat Griffin's 18 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 56% shooting percentage.

This made Lin Ri the focus of much media discussion after the game.

"Overtaking Blake Griffin, who is the strongest fourth position this season?"

"A better talent than Blake Griffin, the beast from China, The Sun, is targeting the first pick in the first round of 2009!"

"He is the No. 1 pick, the focus of the battle, the Sun defeated Blake Griffin, the "dark horse" Sun Devils advanced to the top 16! "

…

From the reports after the game, it is not difficult to see that after this game, Lin Ri's evaluation among the media has surpassed Blake Griffin, and he is considered to be a guy with better talent than Blake Griffin!

Lin Ri's limelight has overshadowed Griffin's. This is reflected in media reports. Those websites that predict the draft also updated Lin Ri's predicted pick in real time after this game. Originally, it was

However, Lin Ri, who was ranked in the top 8 in the first round, directly entered the top five in his predicted pick after this game.

At the same time, Griffin's prediction of being the No. 1 pick in the first round also wavered after this game. After the start of this season, his predicted picks rarely appeared in the second or third picks, and even in some cases

On the website, he has fallen out of the top three of the first round and is only ranked fourth in the first round.

Some websites even directly ranked Griffin behind Lin Ri.

These data intuitively show the huge impact this game has had.

Of course, this was predicted by many experts before the start of this game. The momentum of the two of them has been so good recently. If two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. After the battle between The Sun and Griffin, there will definitely be one.

Personal momentum is not as good as before.

At that time, many experts were optimistic about Griffin. After all, he had already played in this league for a year, and this was already his second year. He must have adapted to the rhythm of the game better than Lin Ri. Most importantly, this year he

The entire playing style is much more ferocious than last year, and it is also much more stable, which shows that he is becoming more and more comfortable in the NCAA!

But at that time, no experts dared to stand up and publicly be optimistic about Griffin.

There is no way, the dark horse of the Sun is too dark! Sweeping the Pac-12 League, Jordan Hill was beaten into DeAndre Jordan - Jordan Hill played a total of three times with the Sun in the regular season, three games

After the game, Jordan Hill's current draft prospect has fallen below the 20th pick in the first round. Before the start of this season, his draft prospect was in the top ten of the first round.

The last guy who was so miserable was DeAndre Jordan. In "March Madness", Jordan met Kevin Love and was turned into a second-round pick from the bottom of the first round.

Jordan Hill and Jordan Hill can be said to be "suffering brothers"!

There is also a precedent like Jordan Hill. This group of experts dare not openly question Lin Ri, although they have been slapped in the face many times. Who can eat this bowl of rice without getting wet shoes?

If you notice something is wrong and can avoid being slapped in the face, it's better to avoid it.

Now, judging from the results, fortunately they did not openly question Lin Ri's ability, and Blake Griffin did not stop this dark horse!

Huh?

Why do we say it is true?

In short, Lin Ri's momentum became even stronger after this game!

But he himself was a little more worried. Although they won the battle with Oklahoma City, and they defeated their opponents a little later in the game, there was one thing Lin Ri had to admit.

Winning this game was a little more difficult than before. No matter how anxious the score was in the past, once the Sun Devils opened the score, the outcome of the entire game could actually be determined.

In this game, the University of Oklahoma recovered the score several times even though it was already in an unfavorable situation. At the same time, it has gained a certain degree of resilience under the leadership of Griffin!

It can be said that if the strength of the teams the Sun Devils encountered before is considered to be rookies, then the strength of this University of Oklahoma can at least reach the level of a pseudo-strong team.

So what about the next teams that also advanced to the top 16 in the country like the Sun Devils?

Have their strength reached the level of a truly strong team?

Then the Sun Devils will naturally have a more difficult time meeting them!

This made Lin Ri a little more careful.

For them, the challenge of "March Madness" may have just begun. After the big wave, none of the 16 remaining teams will be a fuel-saving lamp!

In fact, this can be seen from the strength of the lineup.

Needless to say, North Carolina has 4 or 5 players on the first-round roster alone. It is a team whose record will not be bad even if they are invited to the summer league!

This year they are the kings of the mountain in "Slam Dunk", the absolute master of kings.

They are not the only team with multiple quasi-NBA players. Take the Sun Devils' next 16-to-8 game as an example. Their opponent is the University of Louisville Cardinals, who are playing in the NCAA "Crazy" game.

A strong team that was officially rated as the No. 7 seed by the league before the start of March!

Speaking of which, this year's "March Madness" has fewer upsets. Among the remaining 16 teams, only two teams that were officially recognized as the top 10 seeds before the start of "March Madness" have now fallen.

There are as many as 12 teams recognized as the top 15, which means that only 3 teams have fallen out of the top 15 so far.

Compared with previous years, this year's top 15 seeds all live up to their reputation.

To say that the biggest upset now is probably Griffin and his University of Oklahoma. They were only identified as the No. 47 seed before the game. They were supposed to be eliminated in the first round, but they completed the "...

"The bottom beats the top", but unfortunately he met the Sun Devils and was "carried away" directly.

As for the Sun Devils, they might still be called the "dark pony team" when they played in the Pac-12 regular season, but before the start of March Madness, they had become the officially recognized "No. 4 seed."

"Reaching the top 16 only proves that they have the strength of the No. 4 seed, and it is not considered a dark horse move.

If it really comes down to it, they have to continue to win in order to prove that they are worthy of being the No. 4 seed.

The opponents they won in the first two games were very famous, Tyreek Evans and Blake Griffin. These were both super rookies in the 2009 draft. Many teams were eagerly waiting for them to try out.

!

But the overall strength of their team is not that good. If Griffin or Evans have another helper around them, the Sun Devils may have to "break" a tooth if they want to win.

A game that can be won so easily.

And now, their real challenge comes!

The University of Louisville Cardinals have two guys currently ranked in the top 18 draft prospects, Earl Clark and Terrance Williams.

The former of these two guys was considered the fourth position with the greatest potential after Griffin before Lin Ri was born, and the latter was called "the next Tracy McGrady." You can tell that these two guys are just listening to these comments.

How awesome is this guy!

But this is not over yet, the Cardinals also have a guy who is predicted to be selected in the second round of the draft, Edgar Sosa!

In other words, this is a team with three guys who are on the draft prediction list... Based on this paper strength, there is no doubt that this will be the best team the Sun Devils have encountered this season.

A difficult opponent to deal with, an opponent that is difficult just to think about!
