Chapter 21 The end of the preseason
"Stop, stop, stop." As the pointer was about to cross the purple area, Lian Dao shouted anxiously in the system space.
However, the pointer of the turntable did not follow Lian Dao's will. Instead, it crossed the purple area little by little and stopped at the upper limit of physical talent in the blue area.
Although Lian Dao is a little disappointed because he did not draw Griffin's full talent template, it is good to draw his upper limit of physical talent, which is also one of the talents he needs most at the moment. Griffin's upper limit of physical talent is also the highest in the NBA.
Belongs to A+ level.
Of course, Griffin's current physical strength has not yet reached the A+ level. His current physical strength has just reached the A level. The upper limit represents Griffin's potential. He has not yet fully tapped out his physical potential.
Griffin's upper limit of physical talent has reached 89 points, only one point short of reaching the S level. This is already amazing. Except for those physical monsters in the NBA, Griffin's upper physical limit can be ranked in the NBA.
To the top 20.
Ranking in the top 20 among the approximately 450 current NBA players is already telling.
"Congratulations to the host, you have drawn the upper limit of Blake Griffin's physical talent. Do you want to equip it now?"
"equipment"
As the voice fell, the physical talent in the physical value column changed to: 64 (89).

After flying back to USC, the next four games were held at the Galen Center, home of USC, and they were all won.
On Monday, December 15th, against the Pepperdine Waves, Southern California won the game with a big score of 91:77 at the Galen Center in the 30 minutes.
On Saturday, December 20, against the North Dakota State Bison, they won with a four-point advantage at 61:57. The USC team had no touch in the first three quarters, but due to the iron-blooded defense inside and outside, the opponent never opened the score.
, until Lian Dao and DeRozan's touch picked up in the fourth quarter and took away the game in the final wave.
On Monday, December 22, against the Georgia Institute of Technology Yellow Jackets, they won with a big score of 76:57. The only shots that Georgia Institute of Technology could take were their shooting guard Yinman Shumpert and forward Gaia.
Ni Laval.
The former was selected by the New York Knicks with the 17th overall pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft; the latter was selected by the Phoenix Suns with the 46th overall pick in the second round of the 2010 NBA Draft.
As a freshman this year, Shumpert was directly crushed by DeRozan in terms of talent. He was hit by DeRozan in the whole game and was a bit doubtful. Shumpert did not bring much to the team in this game.
With help and the gap in overall strength, Southern California won the game without any bloodshed.
On Sunday, December 28, the third day after Christmas, they played against the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles at the Galen Center. USC easily won at home, 66:56.
So far, USC has won all 12 preseason games.
There are also many strong teams here such as Missouri State University, University of Oklahoma, etc.
This is the best preseason result achieved by USC in recent years. This result also gives hope to USC basketball fans. This makes many USC students turn their attention to the Trojans.
The other nine universities in the Parker Ten Conference also exclaimed: The wolf is coming!
Before the start of the regular season of the Parker Ten League, ESPN released the NCAA's strength rankings for the 08-09 season.
The University of Southern California is ranked 19th. ESPN's evaluation is that the addition of DeRozan and the rise of Lian Dao have minimized the impact of the departure of senior graduates, but the strength of the center position is still weak.
, the team relies too much on outside and mid-range shooting, which relies too much on shooting touch. Three of the team's main players are freshmen this year (Vucevic becomes the starting center), and there will be a lack of game experience.
The first place is North Carolina, Michael Jordan's alma mater. After losing in the national championship semifinals last season, all their main players chose to stay in school. This year's comeback is bound to be even stronger. Senior 2.06-meter center Taylor
Hansbrough and 1.96-meter small forward Danny Green; there are also junior 1.93-meter shooting guard Wayne Ellington and 1.80-meter point guard Ty Lawson.
Lian Dao felt his scalp numb when he saw these four people. The existence of these four people guaranteed the lower limit of the University of North Carolina. Three of these four people were selected in the first round of the 2009 draft. Danny Green
He was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round with the 46th overall pick.
Although junior 2.03 meter power forward Dean Thompson failed to participate in the 2010 draft because he was too old, his strength is still not much. He started 38 games last season and averaged 8.4 points per game.
, 4.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and a shooting percentage of 48.1%, which is quite acceptable.
The key is that this season they recruited 2.08-meter power forward Ed Davis and 2.13-meter center Tyler Zeller, which made North Carolina's substitute lineup unprecedentedly strong. This is the effect of a famous basketball school.
There will never be a shortage of basketball talents coming here to visit.
The second place is another traditional basketball school: the Duke Blue Devils, they also retain the lineup from last season, Gerald Henderson, Kyle Singler, Nolan Smith, Lance Thomas and Jon
·Shaye’s stay in school ensures the overall strength of the Duke Blue Devils.
This year they also recruited good high school players, the 1.93-meter shooting guard Elliott Williams and the 2.08-meter forward Myles Plumlee. This allowed Duke University to retain both its original talents.
The strength has also been strengthened in the substitute lineup.
The rival University of Southern California, which also belongs to the Parker Ten Conference, is ranked third. The University of Southern California and the University of California, Los Angeles are both in sunny Southern California, but the history of fighting each other is not just a day or two. It started in 1941.
Since the Victory Bell incident, UCLA and the University of Southern California have been feuding.
Whether it's rugby or campus life, admissions, or basketball, we all have to compete.
Of course, USC has always lagged behind in terms of basketball, and the UCAA is a traditional basketball school.
Their star player is Darren Collison. In the 2006-07 season, Collison became the starting point guard of the school team, and his substitute player was Russell Westbrook. In the 2007-08 season, Corey
Sen once again led the team to the semi-finals of the NCAA tournament last season. This was the third consecutive time that he led the team to the national semi-finals, but ultimately lost to Memphis with a score of 78:63 in the national semi-finals.
University.
This also made Darren Collison very unwilling. In the end, he chose to stay in school instead of participating in the draft with Westbrook. Darren Collison's stay in school also laid the foundation for UCLA's comeback.
And this year they recruited the 2008 best point guard talented high school student Jrue Holiday and the McDonald High School All-American point guard Malcolm Lee. The addition of these two talented high school students and Darren
The presence of Collison allows UCLA's defense line to make up for the shortcomings of Russell Westbrook after he entered the draft to a certain extent this season.
Both are members of the Parker Ten Conference. The University of Southern California and UCLA will play each other twice in the regular season, once at home and away, and they are likely to play against each other again after entering the playoffs.
Although ESPN has praised UCLA very highly, Lian Dao knows that UCLA's strength has definitely declined seriously this season. Although Holiday and Malcom are excellent, they can never replace Westbrook. They have to overcome the competition experience.
The first level.
The most important thing is that after Kevin Love and Luc Mbah a Moute entered the draft, UCLA's interior line was unprecedentedly weak, and Alfred Aboya and Nikola Dragovich
Love and Mbah a Moute cannot be replaced.
…
No. 14: Michigan State, this was the victim of USC in the previous generation. USC was defeated by him in the previous generation. In fact, a large part of the reason for the failure in the previous generation was that USC underestimated the enemy.
Michigan State is the biggest dark horse this season. Their strength is far underestimated. ESPN only sees the hard skills of the players, but ignores their team's championship coach.
The Spartans do not have a particularly talented player. If there is, then Draymond Green, who just joined the Spartans as a freshman this year and is ranked fourth in the USA Today national high school rankings.
Considered one.
But he was still in the stage of continuous improvement during his freshman period, and the help he brought to the Spartans mainly came from substitute training.
Chapter completed!
