Chapter 31 The Gap in Talent

At the end of the third quarter, Roy sat on the bench and watched the scoreboard fall behind by 60 points at 44:16.

Then he looked at Lin Yu who was killing everyone on the court, and his heart sank to the bottom.

He knew that his first March Madness journey was about to end.

"So strong! Really so strong! Is this a superstar? The entire Huskies team's defense has been destroyed by him alone!"

"If I could be as strong as Lin Yu"

As Roy thought about it, he clenched his fists and a determined look appeared in his eyes.

He must work hard to become stronger!

Nate Robinson wiped the sweat off his face with his jersey.

call!
My breathing has involuntarily started to become heavy.

This was the first time in his career that he felt the pressure brought by the talent gap.

As a talent who was good at both football and basketball, he heard countless praises during his college years.

With only a small amount of time spent practicing basketball every day, he can become the core of the team and even lead the team into March Madness.

I took a look and saw the figure wearing the No. 25 jersey.

For the first time, he felt so powerless!
So weak!
hum!
As the clock ticked down, the Cowboys defeated the Huskies by 80 points, 63:17.

林禹全场比赛17投11中，三分球8中5，罚球6中5，砍下32分12篮板2助攻4盖帽3抢断的豪华数据。

After the game, Roy was about to walk into the player tunnel when he heard someone calling him.

"Brandon Roy."

Roy turned around and found that it was Lin Yu.

Roy was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Yu with a puzzled look.

Lin Yu also came in front of him at this time and said to Roy: "You performed very well. I will enter the NBA soon. I believe the future of NCAA belongs to you."

The future is yours!
If we look back at this 10 years later, this statement is definitely trash.

After all, everyone who understands how miserable James is can only understand.

But nowadays, it is definitely an encouragement.

When Roy heard Lin Yu's words, he was also stunned.

In this game, Roy scored 11 points, 3 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals under the siege of Tony and Lucas.

His performance was just average, and he didn't expect that he would be praised by Lin Yu.

Then a smile appeared on Roy's face, and he looked at Lin Yu with a hint of kindness.

"Lin, thank you for your encouragement! I will try my best!"

"Come on, Brandon."

Lin Yu then patted Roy on the shoulder again, left after leaving his back.

Nate Robinson, Bobby Jones and others on the side also looked at Roy with envy at this time.

As soon as Lin Yu walked into the player tunnel, he saw the social melon that had been waiting for a long time.

There were many media reporters around Shehuigua, and it was obvious that they were also looking forward to the conversation between the two.

Social Gua spoke first: "Not bad, he is indeed the man who can destroy PJ Tucker. He tied my highest score in the NCAA in just one game."

The highest score of a social melon in a single game in the NCAA is 32 points, and Lin Yu scored 32 points in this game.

"I don't care about statistics, as long as I can win, that's enough."

Lin Yu really didn't care too much about the data. After all, in terms of strength, the Huskies were really not that good. Shehuigua nodded. Sitting on the sidelines, he was the one who could most intuitively feel Lin Yu's strength.

"Given your ability, the NCAA is really useless. I am looking forward to playing against you in the NBA, Lin Yu."

"I'm also looking forward to playing against you in the NBA, Cameron."

After the two finished talking, they hugged each other, and then Lin Yu said goodbye to the social melon and returned to the locker room.

The social media star was surrounded by reporters and began to be interviewed by them.

"Cameron, what do you think of Lin Yu?"

"He is outstanding, both in terms of talent and ability. He is strong enough to play in the NBA, and he is even a superstar in the NCAA!"

"But I am a little confused, is Lin Yu's draft template really Chamberlain?"

"Accurate jump shot, excellent breakthrough, Lin Yu gave me the feeling today, more like the Jordan that Kenny Smith described as 10 centimeters taller."

In fact, Shehuigua also felt a little surprised. After all, Lin Yu’s height is definitely good enough for an inside player.

With this kind of height, in this day and age, playing like an outside shooter does give people an alternative feeling.

However, even though his playing style is unconventional, it cannot conceal Lin Yu's outstanding performance in this game.

After the game, the media began to report extensively.

ESPN: With 32 points and 12 rebounds in a single game, Lin Yu led the team to win the first victory in March Madness!
Sports Illustrated: Chamberlain II? No, Lin Yu's model should be Larry Bird!

Los Angeles Times: No. 32 pick candidate Lin Yu played well! Scored 12 points and rebounds!

Apart from Lin Yu's outstanding performance, there was basically no big news in the NCAA.

The probability of a dark horse or a strong team being eliminated unexpectedly is always low.

Championship candidates such as Connecticut, Duke, North Carolina and Illinois all successfully advanced.

North Shore Gardens, General Manager’s Office.

Celtics scout Moss was reporting to Ainge at this time.

"Tony Allen is an excellent defender. Although he is already a senior, he still has potential to be tapped. If I use a first-round pick to select him, I think I can give it a try."

After Anji heard what Moss said, his expression did not change at all, and he then asked, "What about Lin Yu?"

Recalling Lin Yu's outstanding performance, Moss's eyes flashed with surprise and his voice was filled with emotion.

"Lin Yu's performance was outstanding! Although he is tall for an inside player, he dribbles well, shoots accurately, and defends well. Just like Carmelo Anthony said after the game, his ability is already at the NBA level!"

"The most widely recognized model for Lin Yu is Chamberlain, who has shooting skills, but I think he is a more physically gifted version of Larry Bird!"

A physically gifted version of Larry Bird!

When Angie heard this, her expression changed slightly.

For Ainge, the general manager of the Celtics, no one knows better than him what the name Larry Bird means to the Celtics!
Moss glanced at Angie, whose expression changed, and continued, "I think Lin Yu can be trained like Larry Bird and become a player who can play the three or four positions."

"And his draft pick should not fall out of the top three. Although Ben Gordon is excellent in offense, his height is a disadvantage. He has no advantage over Lin Yu."

"The only players who can compete with Lin Yu for the No. 1 pick this year are Dwight Howard and Emeka Okafor."

The biggest problem with Ben Gordon is that he is a combo guard.

But to play as a shooting guard, he is still a little short at only 1 meters tall.

He has average physical fitness and is not fast enough to defend point guards.

This is also the fundamental reason why Ben Gordon, although he was the third pick in the draft, played as a substitute most of the time in the original history.
