0079: Chance of Lotto
Westbrook roared as he hung from the basket in the front court.
The gloom that lingered over Los Angeles Memorial Stadium was finally diluted.
The fans began chanting the names of Westbrook and Snoopy.
It seemed a bit messy at first.
But later, the fans automatically gave up the two tongue-twisting pronunciations of Russell or Westbrook and instead shouted the smoothest name in unison.
"Snoopy!" "Snoopy!" "Snoopy!"
110,000 people shouted in unison, and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum instantly formed a storm of sound, and the long-suppressed home fans finally found hope of victory at this moment.
Backbite!
In the midst of the momentum, Bill Celf reached out and asked for a timeout.
At this time, UCLA's morale is booming, and if the game is not interrupted, the Kansas Swift Eagles are very likely to be overtaken by a wave of scores.
"Why didn't Ben Holland's stupid pig get Snoopy sooner?"
Bill Wharton roared loudly in the ESPN commentary box, his dead heart reviving with Snoopy's violent block, his voice raised, and his whole being refreshed: "Snoopy is in complete control of the defense. When he stood on the court, UCLA's offense was smoother, and even Westbrook's bomb boy was much more obedient. ”
"Snoopy is exactly the trumpet me! Last time I promised to teach him inside footsteps, but then I forgot. Tonight, I will definitely invite him to my house. I'll pass on my full set of offensive and defensive skills to him. ”
Bill Wharton was not shy about his praise.
At this time, the NBA scouts and general managers on the sidelines were also talking to each other. Snoopy's defensive footwork broke their previous perception that Snoopy was a short, slow-moving center. But the block proved that he was faster than Darrell Arthur, and blocking Derrick Rose in the final moments of the last game was not a flash in the pan.
Mobility is especially important on the NBA's scale, where the mobility of interior players is becoming more and more demanding, as the pace of the game is getting faster and faster.
"Hey, Stephen, we should bring him to Phoenix."
Shackle O'Neal put his arm around Dwyanewade's neck and said to Stephen Nash, who was sitting next to him.
Stephen Nash was talking to Kobe Bryant at the time, and they were talking about Snoopy jamming a defender for Westbrook in the last round. Kobe Bryant appreciated the move, believing that interior players should have this kind of self-awareness of serving the outside, and he told Stephen Nash that Stoudemire would really like this kind of 'point guard' rather than that kind of 'point guard'.
"Of course." Stephen Nash looked up and replied to Shackel O'Neal: "This guy's defensive ability is something we desperately need. ”
The shark nodded with satisfaction: "In this way, Phoenix has three point guards." ”
LeBron James, who was not a sports gossip person, sat in the middle, and asked Dwyane Wade next to him: "Three point guards?" What do you mean? ”
Dwyane Wade laughed and explained the ins and outs to LeBron James.
LeBron James's sense of humor isn't even as high as his hairline, and his mind is still immersed in Tim Duncan's 'blessing' to him a year ago. He thought about it seriously and replied: "That Chinese player does have the potential to become a point guard, and his previous assist was very point-guarding. ”
For the seriousness of this old friend, Dwyanwade was a little crying and laughing. He turned to his former teammates and said, "Shackle, I think you should go to Cleveland to coach LeBron for two years, he lacks a sense of humor." ”
The shark grinned: "No, Stephen needs me, and Amare can't do without me." I'll have to wait until Phoenix wins the championship before I think about saving him. ”
The VIP seats are chatting and laughing, and the cameras of NBC and ABC are all aimed here, hoping to capture the interaction of more NBA superstars, which will be a good boost for the ratings.
But TNT took a different approach, keeping their camera on the UCLA bench and the microphones on.
Their sword went off the rails and finally won them first-hand advice.
Snoopy told Ben Holland on the bench: "Within three steps, I can keep up with most of the interior players. So, if Darrell Arthur continues to play against me, he's still going to struggle to play a consistent rhythm on the offensive end. But I certainly can't stop every shot he takes. ”
Snoopy is very rigorous.
Ben Holland nodded, and he had some confidence in his heart.
But when he turned around, he didn't know what to say to the players.
After Kevin Love left, he lost control of the team, because at that time, he was in despair, watching the team's point difference widen to 13 points, and the offensive core left, he was already planning for next season, and he even thought that he had completed the task of finishing second overall this year.
However, in a state where he lost faith. Snoopy stepped forward, and he commanded the whole team decisively, and all the team members obeyed his orders.
So, now Ben Holland has a ridiculous feeling: Am I being overridden by Snoopy?
This feeling often haunts the minds of some NBA coaches, in the NBA business league, superstars have far more say than the average head coach, so many head coaches will take the initiative to give command to the team's chosen son at critical moments, let him decide the direction of the game.
But this is the NCAA. The words of the NCAA head coach are authority.
But why...... Snoopy's words work better. He's not a superstar, he doesn't even have the ability to shoot.
Ben Holland is puzzling.
"After tonight, Snoopy's draft pick is going to skyrocket, and he may even enter the lottery. He showed the qualities of a dressing room leader, and when the game was in desperate situations, everyone chose to trust and follow him, which was a great charisma. Earl Johnson said in the commentary box: "Moreover, his defensive pace has improved significantly, and in the current environment of the urgent shortage of defensive interior lines, there will definitely be many teams willing to bet on him." After all, he is a Chinese player! ”
"No, no. Earl, you're a little too optimistic. ”
Kenny Smith was sober and said, "Snoopy isn't showing enough good to get into the lottery. You must know that his current reference is at the NCAA level, and many defenders who have slaughtered all sides in the NCAA have immediately become headless flies in the NBA, and are played by those talented swing guards. ”
"Kenny, you're probably right. But. Charles Barkley said: "Now there is a great opportunity for Snoopy to show off. The Kansas Swifthawks have two very different interior players. If Snoopy can defend both the spatial Darrell Arthur and D Jackson in this game. It can also contain the stumping center Cole Aldridge and Sasha Cowen. So... He's sure to be this year's lotto show. ”
As soon as the words fell, tick!
The whistle blew.
Kansas made a substitution, and they brought on No. 45 Cole Aldridge.
Cole Aldridge is 211 cm tall, weighs 116 kg and has an arm span of 226 cm. This is his freshman season, and he didn't get many appearances during the regular season. But in the semifinals of the elimination of the University of North Carolina, he replaced Russian senior Sasha Cown, and scored 9 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks, becoming the biggest contributor to the victory.
When Snoopy sees him walking onto the pitch with Darrell Arthur.
He knew that his test had finally come!
……
[PS, Cole Aldridge is not LaMarcus Aldridge. This Aldridge was the No. 11 show of 2010. Nice blue collar! 】
