Lin Ri has officially become the first pick in the first round predicted by major draft websites. On most draft prediction websites, he will be the No. 1 pick in the 2009 draft!

Even official websites like ESPN directly gave high praise: Even though we still don’t know which team will get the No. 1 pick, one thing is worthy of affirmation. No matter which team it is, if you don’t choose the Sun, then

Just like not selecting Tim Duncan in the 1997 draft and not selecting LeBron James in the 2003 draft, it is a very ridiculous thing.

The Pac-12 defeated Jordan Hill three times, eliminated Blake Griffin in the round of 32, eliminated Earl Clark in the round of 16, and now beats Hasheem Thabeet again...

In other words, every one of the promising new insiders in the 2009 draft was taken care of by Lin Ri. And it can be seen that the gap between these guys and Lin Ri is still quite big.

With such dominance, it is not an exaggeration to say that Lin Rizhi became the number one pick.

It can be seen from the fact that after these draft websites announced the latest predicted picks, almost no experts raised objections. Lin Ri conquered everyone with his performance, including the general managers of those teams, and

These experts are always able to find faults in eggs.

Even ESPN columnist Bill Simmons, who is very unfavorable to Chinese players. Well, he is the one who has always said that Yao Ming is not worthy of being the number one pick in the 2002 draft. He just said weakly: "In other years, it would not be the case."

Definitely, but this position should be his this year."

Look at this slightly aggrieved speech!

This shows how shocking Lin Ri's performance so far this season is... the kind of shock that can make even "black fans" shut their mouths.

Many domestic media in China also immediately reported the NCAA semifinal match between Lin Ri and Thabeet. They also brought back to China the news that Lin Ri ranked first on major draft prediction websites after this game.

Compared to defeating Thabit, naturally more people discussed the latter news.

The main reason is that the NCAA is not well-known in China. Not many fans in China even know about Blake Griffin, let alone Hasheem Thabeet. Even some fans who follow NBA news a lot on a daily basis know that there are

Such a guy with the title of "Mutombo II" is about to enter the NBA, but in comparison, the fact that Lin Ri may become another Chinese number one pick obviously makes them more surprised and excited!

After all, with Lin Ri, China will become the country with the most NBA No. 1 picks outside of the United States. This is undoubtedly an achievement - only 6 years later, another player from China has become the NBA's top pick.

The No. 1 pick represents the progress of Chinese basketball and will further promote the domestic basketball atmosphere in China, thus forming a virtuous cycle.

This is a good thing!

"I think it would be better for Lin Ri to go to the New York team. He may be a bit bad, but at least he is willing to spend money for the development of the team, and no one from the bad team will compete with him for the ball. This is great!"

"It would actually be good if Lin Ri was selected by the Suns. His style of play fits perfectly with the Suns. With Steve Nash, there will be no problem at all for him to become the next Stoudemire!"

"Why do I think the Thunder are about to get a high pick again? Don't go to this team, right? There are already two or three newcomers, and you really won't be able to get the ball if you go there..."

It also caused Chinese fans to start a new round of discussion. This time the topic they discussed was "Which team will win the No. 1 pick?" In other words, among the current teams with poor records, they prefer Lin.

Which team can I go to on that day?

Judging from the current situation of the UAE, which team to choose as the beginning of his career is a very important matter.

If he had chosen a team that paid more attention to the development of rookies instead of blindly pursuing high picks, maybe the UAE's career would not be as embarrassing as it is now.

Of course, what reassures Chinese fans is that no matter which team Lin Ri joins, he should be trained as an absolute core, and he has already played in the NCAA for a year, and he should not appear in NBA games like the Arab League.

The rhythm is acclimatized.

They were discussing so actively that they completely forgot that Lin Ri still had an NCAA finals game to play!

But think about it, for Chinese fans, what is the NCAA championship? Compared with the honor of being the first pick in the first round, it is really nothing.

…

The American media is paying attention to exactly the opposite. Compared with the news that Lin is ranked first in the latest draft prediction rankings of major websites, they are more concerned about Lin and James Harden leading the Sun Devils.

The team reached the NCAA Finals.

After eliminating Connecticut, Arizona State University became the only team in NCAA history to reach the finals, and the third team in the Pac-12 to reach the finals.

However, compared to the many achievements in the history of the Arizona Wildcats and UCLA, Arizona State University's team history is obviously a bit too shabby. In addition to entering the national championship this time, their team history has only entered the "Crazy Three" twice.

moon"……

Of course, this just proves the uncertainty that the NCAA is full of. No matter how poor our ancestors are, maybe it will be prosperous this season.

Arizona State University is another example of such lucky people.

They had James Harden last year, but this year "the sun fell from the sky" and turned them upside down.

The Arizona State newspaper the next day also had a news report about Arizona State University reaching the finals for the first time in its history.

And it’s the treatment of the entire cover story.

The picture of Lin Ri and James Harden having a passionate collision is the picture accompanying this report.

This scene happened in the game between the Sun Devils and the Michigan Wolverines. At that time, James Harden received a pass from Lin Ri Miao and dunked on the opponent's No. 5 position. Amidst the cheers of the audience, the two super rookies used this celebration to pass the opponent's No. 5.

The cheers reached their climax.

The title of this report is also worth saying - "This is not the end!"

This sentence is a sentence that James Harden has been saying since the Pac-12 playoffs. After that, he will repeat this sentence again every time he wins a game in March Madness.

As the Sun Devils won more and more, he repeated this sentence more and more times, and gradually, it became known to more and more fans.

There is even a banner with this sentence hanging outside the arena at Arizona State University, which seems to have the meaning of becoming the Sun Devils' team culture in the future.

I have to say that this is a good start. The NCAA produces many very good strong teams every year, but many of them are only strong for one season and then become weak again the next season, such as Stanford University.

Only if you become a famous basketball school, you don't have to worry about this happening.

The reason why the University of Memphis was able to recruit super rookie Tyreek Evans last year was because they trained the "number one pick" Derrick Rose in the previous year. Tyreek Evans, who has a similar style to Derrick Rose, naturally

I would like to join this team.

Cultivating super guards has become the hallmark of the University of Memphis!

This is why head coach Calipari wants to pursue John Wall this summer. John Wall, the best high school student in the United States this year, played very similar to Derrick Rose and Tyreke Evans in high school.

With these two gems in front, the possibility of him recruiting John Wall is very high.

Now, the Sun Devils are in the process of forming their own logo...

ESPN also conducted a long report on Arizona State University's entry into this year's finals, which also mentioned James Harden and Lin Ri, calling them "the two guys who changed Arizona State University's status in NCAA basketball"!

James Harden was excited when he saw this report.

This is what he boasted in front of many media before joining Arizona State University, and now, he has done it!

Even authoritative industry media like ESPN have admitted this!

"We really did it, the sun!"

Harden saw the news when he arrived in Los Angeles, where the Finals stadium was located, and on his way to his hotel where he was staying. He shared the news with Lin Ri immediately.

He knew very well that he did not do this alone, he did it together with Lin Ri!

Lin Ri looked at the comments about the two of them in the report, but did not show any expression of joy. Instead, he turned to James Harden and asked in a low voice: "Have you noticed that these media are discussing our killing?

To reach the finals, but there is almost no analysis of the finals we are going to play against North Carolina?"

James Harden was stunned by Lin Ri's question.

He quickly scrolled through the major basketball websites with his phone, and finally muttered in a low voice: "It's really..."

He suddenly didn't feel any excitement anymore.

James Harden is not a fool. He knows very well what kind of games no one will discuss. That is, no one will discuss a game that has no suspense at all.

Obviously, these guys think that it is not difficult for North Carolina to defeat them, or even no suspense!

It was also at this time that James Harden realized why there was so much news reporting that they had reached the finals. I bet everyone had already assumed that they would lose!

Do you think they can only go so far?

"damn it!"

James Harden gets angrier the more he thinks about it!

Lin Ri's face didn't look good either. He had been holding his breath since he got off the plane.

He admitted that North Carolina was very good this year, but he thought they would lose before they even played, and didn't even discuss it. Isn't this looking down on others?

Just wait and see!

I want to see how awesome the so-called "Five Star North Carolina" is!

Lin Ri muttered something in his mind, while James Harden directly committed the "second disease" and turned his head with a serious face: "The sun, do you remember what you told me back then?"

"???"

"We want to become the strongest duo in the NCAA!"

"Yeah!" Lin Ri nodded.

"Beat North Carolina, we will win!" James Harden's face showed determination, which is the reluctance and energy of youth.

But he was right. With the strength of North Carolina, even though defeating them may not necessarily directly lead to being considered a powerful duo in NCAA history, it can definitely be associated with this title!

Lin Ri looked at the passionate James Harden: "Then you may have to work harder these two days..."

He told James Harden that it was not without purpose that the media did not pay too much attention to their finals game with North Carolina. One of them was to stimulate his fighting spirit.

"Huh?" James Harden was stunned.

"Hmm, what? Come with me for special training!" The second step is to continue to use James Harden as a sandbag to help him improve a few small skills to a lower rank.

Almost a week has passed since the game against the Louisville Cardinals. Judging from this week's training fortune, he has some small skills that can be used to break through temporarily.

"Huh?" James Harden showed a painful expression as he recalled those two miserable days when Lin Ri had been asking him for a bullfight.

"Ah what? You just said you would become the strongest duo in the NCAA!" Lin Ri didn't give him a chance to refuse at all.
Chapter completed!
