At the beginning of the second half, Kansas organized a strong counterattack. Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers attacked with both guns, scoring consecutively through their super personal abilities.

However, the point difference is still there.

No matter how fierce they are, Bruce Lee can still control the rhythm and help the team move forward with his gentle and gentle way.

Since Lannicour's departure caused Kansas' internal defense to shrink significantly, Li Zhen penetrated into the interior almost every time he attacked. With Scott, a talented man, assisting from the side, Kansas' penalty area was miserable.

.

While Stanford made great achievements on the inside, it also quickly released its firepower on the outside: Kansas focused on one thing and lost on the other.

Compared with the first half, Li Zhen did not show any eye-catching scenes in the second half. However, whether it was Michael Jordan, Isaiah Thomas, or Buford and Presti sitting in the stands,

Their appreciation for Li Zhen increased rapidly.

Because, for a point guard, the most important characteristic is whether he can control a team's overall offense. The point guard's main responsibility is not to attack the city, but to strategize.

"This kid has more organizational talent than Tony Parker!"

Presti said sharply: "His unhurried posture in positional battles is like Jason Kidd, and he has the general demeanor of a veteran point guard. However, when the speed increases, especially with the guy named Scott,

When the guy plays the pick-and-roll, the decisiveness and speed with which he releases the ball is very much like Steve Nash."

After Presti finished speaking, he did not forget to add: "Greg will definitely like him very much."

yes!

Buford sighed slightly, and then said: "If his physical fitness were stronger, I would not hesitate to use a first-round pick or even a lottery pick on him. But now..."

Buford hesitated.

It's not that Bruce Lee didn't perform as well as he expected, it just exceeded his expectations. So he didn't know what to do: because judging from tonight's performance, there must be other teams that will raise their psychological price to the first round.

However, if you use the first round to select a guard with such poor physical fitness, it is a bit of a gamble.

San Antonio is a carefully run club that rarely makes bold and aggressive draft decisions.

So, RC Buford turned around and he asked Presti: "If you were the general manager, what draft pick would you use to select him?"

"Then it depends on whether to rebuild the team."

Presti said with certainty: "If we are rebuilding the team, I can give him a first-round pick, or even a lottery pick. What if...he succeeds? The league is currently very short of point guards, and...in the future

The trend in the NBA will definitely be more and more towards point guards."

Presti's words gave Buford some answers.

Although the Spurs are not rebuilding the team, they can still afford to bet on a first-round pick.

However, what Buford didn't know was that Isaiah Thomas, who was sitting in the front row, was already thinking about whether to trade a first-round pick around 16 and close to the lottery to gamble on the Blues.

Because this is a small year for the draft, the trade value of draft picks is very low.

When the game progressed to 3 minutes before the end of the game, the University of Kansas replaced its main force. The 19-point difference was no longer recoverable by manpower.

Coach Bill Self can only sadly accept the fact that this season is completely over.

As Kansas voluntarily surrendered, coach Jamie Lin gradually replaced all the main players. When Li Zhen walked to the court, the entire San Diego Arena cheered, and all the fans shouted his name.

The unanimous 'brue-lee' clearly showed who was the biggest winner in this game.

In fact, most people come here for Bruce Lee.

As the protagonist of this game, Bruce Lee once again continued his miracle on the stage of this national live broadcast. The game's 18 points, 17 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals allowed everyone to see his energy.

"Go back twenty days, if someone told Stanford fans that you can enter the top 16 of the championship this season, they will definitely call it ridiculous and think you are satirizing them. However, now, Bruce Lee has done it. He has accomplished many things.

Mission possible, and the wonders continue.”

Kenny Smith looked very excited.

At the same time, TNT's camera was perfectly focused on McHaney sitting on the bench.

This head coach who once chose to give up his job when the team was in the most difficult situation is now quickly becoming the laughing stock of everyone, especially after the news that he was suspended on the spot was spread through television signals tonight.

No one likes people who fly away when they are in trouble and come back to take credit when they are glorious.

The saying goes that if you are not there when the sun goes down, who are you when you are making a comeback? This is the truth.

The camera soon switched to Coach Jamie Lin again.

Coach Jamie Lin was hugging Bruce Lee vigorously. This scene made countless Chinese viewers in front of the TV shed tears.

These two Chinese-Americans teamed up to create the greatest counterattack miracle in NCAA history. They fought their way from the qualifying rounds of the Pacific Division and have now entered the Sweet Sixteen.

This is an unprecedented journey, and it is completed by Chinese Americans who are completely disadvantaged in the NCAA. Its significance is too important to the vast Chinese community and even the Asian community.

I believe that after this game, the names of Bruce Lee and Jamie Lin will be constantly mentioned in major Chinese communities across the United States and treated as superstars.

"The question now has become how long can Bruce Lee's miracle last. In the next game, their opponent will be UCLa, which is also a California team... Jordan Farmar beat Kentucky earlier."

Charles Barkley suddenly mentioned this: "This game will definitely arouse the attention of the entire California. Bruce Lee is the most famous point guard recently, and Jordan Farmar has already established a great reputation in the NCAA. To be honest, I

I can’t wait to watch the next game.”

His words made Kenny Smith subconsciously worried.

Jordan Farmar, who is already a junior, is definitely better than freshman Mario Chalmers. Coupled with the support of UCLa, the No. 4 seed team this season, I'm afraid...Stanford's miracle road will end here.

So far.

You know, UCLa's status in California basketball is even higher than that of the Los Angeles Lakers. Putting their name forward represents the glorious history of California basketball.

The battle for the Elite Eight is held in Los Angeles. There, the arrogant Los Angeles people will not cheer for a team from Northern California as heartily as the fans in San Diego.

Southern California fans have always looked down upon Northern California basketball teams.

After all, whether in the NBA or the NCAA, the Lakers, Clippers, UCLa, and USC in Southern California are stronger than the Golden State Warriors and Stanford in Northern California.

And at this moment...beep!

The whistle sounded, and the game that had long been decided finally ushered in the final whistle.

Just when Li Zhen was about to get up and leave, Michael Jordan came over on his own initiative.

This caused the reporters on the sidelines to quickly gather around.

On the contrary...the handshake between the head coaches of both sides was ignored.

When Coach Jamie Lin and Coach Bill Self held their hands together, there was no reporter around to take pictures, which made them look particularly lonely.

"Congratulations on leading your team to the Sweet Sixteen. You will have to work harder in the Elite Eight next!" Mr. Bill Self, the famous coach, was very graceful.

He patted Jamie Lin on the shoulder: "This is my business card. If you are unhappy at Stanford, welcome to join Kansas. We have a chief assistant position here."

His eyes could not hide his admiration for Coach Jamie Lin.

This surprised Jamie Lin, and he quickly took the business card.

Before he fell out with coach McHaney, he was even prepared to lose his job.

But unexpectedly, I got an olive branch from a competitor.

This is great.

At least, I have a way out. I also have the guarantee to continue to stay in the basketball world.

Moreover, this is Kansas, the birthplace of basketball, a super-famous school with the highest basketball heritage. There are countless coaches and players who have come from here, and it can be called the yellow shop military academy in the American basketball world.

Jamie Lin was overjoyed.

Sure enough, people should take the initiative to defend their own things. If you still adhere to the Chinese virtues of gentleness, courtesy and thrift when others infringe on your own interests, then... it will be impossible to make a name for yourself in the American basketball world. Li Zhen is right!

And if Li Zhen knew about this, he would also be very happy.

Because, Jamie Lin's fate was finally not what he saw in that real nightmare. He did not take the blame, was not fired, and did not have to leave the basketball world in despair to work as an insurance salesman.
