Chapter 10: First Victory
As the core of the Buffalo team, if Harrison missed a shot, the Buffalo team would basically lose half the game.
At this time, if the Buffalo team can open up their outside shooting, they still have a chance to win.
But the problem is
The Cowboys' perimeter defense is already top-notch in the Big 12 Conference!
As a veteran head coach, Kenny Sr. is a defensive coach.
At this time he still had Tony Allen in his hand.
Many Kobe fans are well aware of how terrifying Tony Allen's defensive power is as the future 'Kobe Terminator'.
And at this time, the Cowboys also have Joey Graham, the "bankrupt version of James".
The Cowboys' perimeter defense can only be described in four words.
Impregnable!
In addition, there is Lin Yu in the inside.
As far as defense is concerned, there is no team stronger than the Cowboys in the entire NCAA, let alone the Big 12!
Under the Cowboys' strong defense, the Buffaloes' offense was basically in a stagnant state.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The crisp sound of iron hitting the target basically became the main theme of the Buffalo team's game.
"Yu Jia, how many points did Lin Yu score in this game?"
“我看看啊!林禹已经拿到了21分,同时还有11篮板3助攻3盖帽2抢断,数据这一栏基本上已经被填满了。”
"Coach Zhang, have you finished looking up the Buffalo team's information? How should we write the report on Lin Yu next?"
Yu Jia was also very emotional at this time. She did not expect Lin Yu to achieve such outstanding results in his debut.
Coach Zhang then continued, "I just checked and found that the center of Lin Yu's opponent is named David Harrison. He is currently predicted to be selected 30-35th, and this ranking is higher than the average."
Coach Zhang didn’t say anything else, but after Yu Jia finished listening, his eyes were dull and his mouth was wide open.
At this point I was so shocked I couldn't speak!
'Wind-chasing boy' Wang Dazhi is definitely a milestone figure in the history of Chinese men's basketball.
At this time in China, the NBA has just started to become popular because Yao Ming was selected last year.
Not to mention the NCAA, where not a single game was broadcast.
As for NCAA, Yu Jia only knew that it was a college basketball league.
Therefore, Yu Jia actually didn't have much idea about how strong Lin Yu's opponent was.
Coach Zhang looked at Yu Jia with a dull look and was secretly shocked.
When he had just looked up the Buffalo team's information, he was actually not much better than Yu Jia.
You have to know that he was selected by the Mavericks with the 37th pick in the second round. In other words, he joined the NBA with the 37th pick.
David Harrison's draft pick is probably even higher than that.
But now facing Lin Yu, he only got 8 points and 5 rebounds in the whole game, and also made 4 turnovers.
It can be said that his performance was completely crushed by Lin Yu.
The two knew before that Lin Yu was very talented and might become the next Chinese player to enter the NBA.
But video is video after all, and possibility is just possibility.
At this time, I was watching Lin Yu's game live and saw Lin Yu crush an inside player who was at the end of the first round.
The shock brought to the two of them was undoubtedly huge!
Look at the field, perform well.
Attacking with the ball, assisting in defense, fighting for rebounds, passing and assisting, it seems that Lin Yu is omnipotent.
Coach Zhang once again said with emotion: "Yu Jia, I also have a feeling that after Yao Ming and Da Yao Ming, another milestone player will appear in the Chinese basketball world! No, perhaps a player who can also be described as great!"
hum!
As the clock ticked down, the Oklahoma Cowboys defeated the Colorado Buffaloes 80-54.
砍下21分11篮板3助攻3盖帽2抢断的林禹,毫无疑问是本场比赛的MVP!
"Lin!!! MVP!!!"
"Lin!!! MVP!!!" "Lin!!! MVP!!!"
"."
After the game, fans cheered for Lin Yu and the Cowboys!
Mike Brin, the on-site commentator, said with emotion: "The 14000 spectators at the scene have been completely conquered by Lin Yu's performance!"
"I admit that I was also moved by Lin Yu's performance. Many scouts and management from NBA teams also came to the scene. I will interview them after the game about their evaluation and opinions on Lin Yu."
Amy John added: "I am very curious now, how will the professional scouts from various teams describe Lin Yu in their scouting reports, and what kind of evaluation will they give to Lin Yu?"
On the field, the Cowboys players had already started celebrating.
As the biggest contributor to the victory of this game, Lin Yu also enjoyed the 'MVP' level treatment at this time and was overshadowed by many teammates.
"Tony, Joey, hurry up, you are too heavy!"
"What? You can still hold on? Holmes, come quickly, Lin said he's still okay."
"Coming, Tony, I'm coming!"
"."
Looking at Lin Yu who was being celebrated by the Cowboys, David Harrison's eyes were full of envy and a hint of jealousy.
Just as he said to Lin Yu before the game started.
This nationally televised game is a huge stage.
Although all the scouts present were there for Lin Yu, other players could also get a piece of the pie.
His poor performance in this game may have his shortcomings magnified infinitely because of this nationwide live broadcast.
The draft pick might drop directly to the second round.
After taking another look at Lin Yu, Harrison sighed and turned directly into the player tunnel.
“It’s great to have talent!”
Harrison also became famous in high school.
But the strongest player in a city may not be the strongest player in a state.
The strongest player in a state may not be the strongest player in the United States.
What’s more, NBA draft players come from all over the world!
Compared with players like Lin Yu, who have NBA historical-level talent, his talent seems a bit mediocre.
The Cowboys players finished celebrating and left the field amid the cheers of the fans.
After returning to the locker room, the first thing I did was to take a shower.
It is impossible to play a game without breaking a sweat.
Lin Yu was fine, but players like Tony, who had poor physical fitness, had their jerseys soaked with sweat.
After everyone took a shower, Old Kenny praised everyone.
"Boys! You guys did an amazing job today!"
"Tony, your defense is very good. Reduce your mistakes."
"Joey, your breakthrough today deserves praise, but it would be better if you could play smarter and avoid being double-teamed by your opponents."
"As for Lin."
Speaking of Lin Yu, Old Kenny paused, and everyone on the Cowboys team also turned their attention to Lin Yu.
At this time, Lin Yu also began to look forward to old Kenny's evaluation of his game.
"Old Kenny" paused, as if thinking.
After a while, he said, "Lin, your talent is the best player I have ever coached!"
"You played very smartly on the court! Whether it was passing, breaking through, or defending, you showed your best side."
"But I want you to be Michael Jordan, not Kevin Garnett, do you understand?"
Lin Yu nodded. He understood what old Kenny meant.
