Chapter 63 Michigan Civilian Five Tigers
"The Sun Devils are doing great, James Harden is a great guy, the Suns are unbelievable, but, I have to say, their journey is almost over here, and I'm not looking down on them at all.
Meaning, but given the opponents they are about to face, I think stopping in the top 8 will be their final result this season..."
The next game the Sun Devils will face is the Michigan Wolverines.
As a traditional powerhouse in the NCAA, the Michigan Wolverines did not complete any strong signings last summer due to the weak overall strength of the 2008 high school class. However, their own strength is not weak. Although they do not have any star players,
The guy most favored by the draft experts is Carlin Lucas, the No. 1 pick from the University of Michigan. He has a cool head and is a very qualified battlefield commander.
Of course this is watching this guy on the NCAA stage.
If you look at it with the eyes of NBA experts, it would be a bit unsatisfactory.
First of all, his physical fitness is not up to standard in the NBA, which means this guy's prospects in this year's draft are only in the lower second round of the draft.
And this is already the best draft prospect among Michigan's top five players this year.
The remaining four people are all predicted to be unsuccessful on the major draft websites... From this, it can be seen that the other four people do not have eye-catching physical talents.
However, although their talents are somewhat mediocre, these four people are undoubtedly top players in the NCAA, and they have all been in the NCAA for three or four years.
They are very familiar with the rhythm of the NCAA and know how to play on this stage.
Also because the strength of the five starting players is very outstanding in the NCAA, Michigan is also considered "the only team that has the hope to challenge North Carolina this year"!
Some even called them the "New Five Tigers of Michigan"!
Of course, compared to the talent of the Michigan Five, the talent of the "New Five" appears to be very mediocre, so many fans call them the "Michigan Civilian Five."
Pistons Five:???
I felt offended and uncomfortable.
Such an opponent is undoubtedly a more difficult team to deal with than the Louisville Cardinals.
Such a powerful opponent also makes many experts no longer optimistic about the Sun Devils, believing that their journey in "March Madness" this year will end here.
Lin Ri was really not used to facing doubts and not being favored. In my mind, this seemed to be the first time that they were not favored.
It seems that this opponent is a bit difficult to beat!
"I don't think we have no hope of winning. That's for sure. You can only know the result after playing any game, right? I'm looking forward to this game against the University of Michigan. They are very strong, but we also
Not weak!"
Lin Ri's answer was quite satisfactory. He didn't show any weakness or arrogance, and you could hear his confidence in it.
This is also considered the standard official answer!
So far this season, Lin Ri’s ability to deal with the media seems to have improved a lot. In the future, when he goes to the NBA, he will no longer be confused about how to answer reporters’ deliberately difficult questions.
What problem can’t be solved using this standard official answer template?
"Are you the best player in the NBA?"
"I don't think other players are bad. That's for sure. Any comparison can only be determined after considering many aspects, right? There are many strong guys in this league. Put them together.
It's my honor to be compared, and I will try my best to do my best!"
"Do you think you can make the All-Stars?"
"I don't think other stars can't make it to the All-Stars. This is a sure thing. There are too many factors that interfere with whether they make it to the All-Stars. We won't know the result until the last minute, right? I'm honored to be able to make it.
Entering the voting list, if I can enter the All-Star, then I will do what I should do so that the fans who like me will not regret voting me into the All-Star."
Well... in short, this set of official answer templates can really be used to answer almost all questions.
This also made many reporters slightly disappointed. For these guys, they are always just people who watch the excitement and don't take it too seriously. How can Lin Ri's answer lead to a fight? This made them couldn't help but secretly mutter in their hearts.
: If the grumpy Sun were to answer this question, wouldn’t the smell of gunpowder immediately arise?
What would he say?
He would definitely say: "Damn it, fxxk! These bastards from Michigan are waiting for me to clean their asses. I have to kick your asses to pieces!"
He should say that, right?
What a pity, what a pity, what a pity!
How about someone put some pressure on Lin Ri now?
To lure out that "irritable Lin Ri"?
…
The Sun Devils' 8-4 game against the Michigan Wolverines started at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Phoenix.
Steve Kerr got busy as a result.
"Welcome to Phoenix, the sun, this will be your home!"
"Come to the Phoenix Suns, the sun, you definitely belong to this team!"
"The new owner of Phoenix! I think it's you? the sun!"
In less than a day, similar banners and posters were seen everywhere on the main thoroughfare from the Phoenix Airport to the University of Phoenix Stadium.
Obviously, Cole planned to show his goodwill in advance and wanted to leave a good impression on Lin Ri.
Under his instruction, the Suns succeeded early and have become one of the teams with the worst records this season. Steve Kerr dares to pat his chest and say that he currently has the greatest hope of getting the No. 1 pick.
He ranked second. No one dared to rank first. At most, they would be tied for second with him.
Now that the team has been successful, he naturally has to send a positive signal to Lin Ri. He himself has to admit that compared to Los Angeles, where the other "bad peers" are located, Phoenix has no advantage at all in New York, so
He had to let Lin Ri see the Suns' sincerity.
After everyone from the Sun Devils got off the bus from the airport, they were shocked by the number of posters and banners soliciting Lin Ri. Lin Ri was also stunned. He really didn't expect that Phoenix would mess with him like this!
Looking at his photo and name on the poster and banner, he clearly felt for the first time how attractive I am now.
It has become so big that the general manager of a team is already trying to recruit him before "March Madness" is over.
I have to say, this feeling is really refreshing!
Jeff pulled his clothes and joked with Lin Ri: "The sun, why don't you sign my clothes now! I'll see how much I can sell them for."
"Go away." Lin Ri cursed with a smile.
James Harden also showed a look of envy.
All he wanted to do since he was a child was to become an NBA star. Now, Lin Ri has already enjoyed star-like treatment before he even entered the NBA. How can he not feel envious of this?
Of course, the envy was only for a moment, and then he secretly clenched his fists, and his whole body was full of fighting spirit. Since the sun has done it, then I will do it too!
They promised to become the strongest duo in the NCAA, but now that the sun has become a star, how can he hold him back?
Sandek smiled and said in relief: "In short, this will be good news. We will face the Michigan Wolves at home, and this will be our advantage!"
Since this city is showing goodwill to Lin Ri, then the fans who come on the day of the game will definitely be fans who come for Lin Ri. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the home of the Sun Devils.
Good luck...
Sandek muttered something in his mind.
The Michigan Wolverines are a very difficult team to deal with. Now that they can beat the atmosphere of multiple home games, it is an advantage!
I just don’t know what impact this advantage will have on this game...
The Sun Devils then boarded the bus they had contacted earlier and headed towards the hotel they had booked near the University of Phoenix Stadium.
Less than two hours after they left, the passenger passage of the airport ushered in another group of people with a large number of people.
It's none other than the Michigan Wolverines.
They were also frightened by the posters used to recruit Lin Ri that could be seen everywhere.
"That guy is already so popular!" No. 5 Goran Sutton, who spoke in an angry voice, first came to his senses from his daze.
"This game is difficult!" The person speaking this time was small forward Lemar Morgan. He immediately thought that the atmosphere at home against the Sun Devils might not be conducive to them.
His words made a guy walking in the middle of the team, who was only 1.88 meters tall, turn his head and look at him: "There is nothing difficult to win, our goal is only to win the championship!"
His name is Carlin Lucas, the only guy among Michigan's "Pop Five" whose name is on the major draft prediction lists.
"We have killed a lot of geniuses. The Sun is indeed a genius, but it has not reached the point of despair. As long as we do our best, there is absolutely no way we will lose!"
His words were sonorous and powerful, and the expressions of other people at the University of Michigan gradually returned to normal.
yes!
Stephen Curry, Jonny Flynn and Jeff Teague... haven't they eliminated a bunch of geniuses along the way? No matter how great the Sun is, he is the only one who is great, but we are different, we are the whole team
All great!
Even though the Sun Devils still have a guy named James Harden.
But that’s also 2v5!
They have absolutely no chance of winning. We can definitely win this game!
The future may belong to you, but now it definitely belongs to us!
Just like what Sakuragi Hanamichi said to coach Anzai in "Slam Dunk": "When was your most glorious moment? Was it the All-Japan era? And for me, it is now."
The most glorious era for Michigan's five civilians will also be this season.
Chapter completed!
