Chapter 49 The Final Battle

Before the game started, old Kenny was actually very worried that Lin Yu would be restricted facing the twin towers of Luol Deng and Sheldon Williams.

After the game started, old Kenny realized that he had overthought.

Although Sheldon Williams did perform well during his NCAA career, he was selected by the Hawks with the fifth pick in the first round.

But he quickly fell into disrepair in the NBA because of his height.

官方身高虽然是2米06，但是体测时赤脚身高只有2米02，穿鞋身高2米04。

With this height, he plays center in the NBA.
It's normal that you can't type it out.

After all, not everyone can be Ben Wallace.

Luol Deng's height and wingspan are not as good as Lin Yu's.

With a height of 2 meters, Lin Yu once again stood out from the crowd in the interior!

Relying on his arm span and excellent jumping ability, Lin Yu is always able to grab rebounds from Luol Deng and Sheldon Williams.

At the same time, Luol Deng, who was facing Lin Yu's death coil, also started to miss shots.

Old K, who was watching on the sidelines, wanted to press him to the bench to watch the water dispenser!
The most important thing is that Duke is not the only one who has transformed into a blacksmith at this time.

JJ Redick, the top shooter in the NCAA, seemed to be possessed by a blacksmith when facing Tony's sticky defense.

He made 5 of 1 three-pointers, and even Old K was speechless.

Damn it.
The team's first and second scoring points are both very strong.

How to win?
Although Chris Duhon is excellent in defense, his offensive ability is really average.

At least at this moment, he certainly cannot take on the ball rights of Luol Deng and Redick.

Facing Duke's two short inside players, Lin Yu scored 27 points and grabbed 17 rebounds, setting a new NCAA record for the most rebounds in a single game.

In addition, facing the poor defensive Redick, Tony was like a god, scoring 18 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.

The Cowboys easily defeated Duke 75-67.

After the game, look at the ribbons falling from the sky.

Old Kenny had only one thought at this moment.

Duke is this?

Lao K: That’s enough!

With the Cowboys advancing, the NCAA Tournament final matchup is officially revealed!
Oklahoma State Cowboys vs. Connecticut Huskies.

Before the game started, the media also hyped up this confrontation.

Although with the rise of Lin Yu, Ben Gordon, one of the original candidates for the No. 1 pick, is currently ranked fourth.

But this does not mean that Ben Gordon has no hope of becoming the No. 1 pick.

The three top pick candidates, Lin Yu, Emeka Okafor and Ben Gordon, faced off on the NCAA finals.

Even in the history of the NCAA, this is very rare.

Therefore, the media is also making every effort to promote it at this time.

ESPN: Three top pick candidates compete on the same stage! Who will win the final championship?
Sports Illustrated: Lin Yu vs. Emeka Okafor! The championship and the No. 1 pick will be decided!
Los Angeles Times: An unprecedented showdown between three top pick candidates!

The headlines in the media are one more exaggerated than the other.

new York.

NBA headquarters. NBA President Stern's smile never faded after seeing Lin Yu advance to the NCAA finals.

Looking at the grand NCAA finals, Stern knew that as long as Lin Yu entered the NBA, the market for flower growers would be completely opened up!
Through his matchmaking with the central bank, the central bank has confirmed that it will broadcast the final.

At this time he was adding fuel to the fire.

"Give the order, we need to help promote the NCAA finals. The bigger the impact, the better!"

"Okay, President!"

With the help of the media and Stern, the title of the NCAA Finals has overshadowed the popularity of the NBA at this time.

Lin Yu vs. Emeka Okafor and Ben Gordon.

It has been shaped into a historical match comparable to the match between 'The Dream' Hakeem Olajuwon and Patrick Ewing, and 'Magic' Earvin Johnson and 'Big Bird' Larry Bird!
The Staples Center, the venue for the NCAA finals, has also seen ticket prices skyrocket.

Even the tickets for the last row have tripled in price!
The seats in the first row are now even more expensive!
Stillwater City.

Coach Zhang, who received instructions from his leader, was also very excited at this time.

"Dayu is so famous that CCTV even broadcast the NCAA finals live for him for the first time. I have to send him a text message to tell him the good news!"

As he spoke, Director Zhang edited the text message and sent it to Lin Yu.

Of course, Lin Yu didn't see it at this time, because Old Kenny was explaining the opponent, the Huskies, to everyone.

"The three strongest players on the Huskies are Emeka Okafor, Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva."

"In addition to his excellent defense, Okafor also has excellent low-post skills. It is no exaggeration to say that he is currently the top center in the NCAA!"

"Ben Gordon has extremely comprehensive offensive skills. Many fans believe that he is the most comprehensive NCAA offensive guard since Jordan. He also has a big heart and is good at key shot shooting."

"Although Charlie Villanueva is not very famous, he is also predicted to be a top ten lottery pick."

"He is good at shooting and has excellent footwork in the low post. His biggest problem is defense, and his slow lateral movement is his weakness."

"."

Lin Yu had to admit at this time that the Huskies team was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered during his NCAA career!
Although Okafor, Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva will not become All-Stars in the future, Charlie Villanueva, who was the worst pick during the draft period, was selected with the seventh pick in the first round.

A team with three teams that made it into the top ten and even two candidates for the top pick is absolutely terrifyingly strong!
And this team is also the champion team of the NCAA Championship in the original history! Los Angeles.

At this time, Lin Yu and others had already boarded the bus to the Staples Center.

Tony also started to get excited at this time.

"Lin, do you think you will meet Kobe when we play in Los Angeles this time? Among all the guards in the NBA, Kobe is my favorite."

"I don't know about this either, but I feel like you will see Kobe Bryant often in the future."

For the first time, Lin Yu felt that Tony was a little abnormal.

It is normal for fans to greet their favorite players, ask for their autographs, and take photos with them.

Tony directly transformed into the 'Kobe Terminator' and bit Kobe madly during the game.

this.
Lin Yu can only say that in the future, let Tony and Kobe continue to love and hate each other!
After getting off the bus, Tony looked at the huge poster in front of the Staples Center and started complaining.

"What's going on? Why is there only Lin Yu on this poster? I am the second in command of the Cowboys after all."

Everyone on the Cowboys team: Look at the poster next door, why is it not there? Don’t you have any idea?
On the huge poster of the Huskies next door, there are only Emeka Okafor and Ben Gordon. Even the top ten lottery pick Charlie Villanueva is not there.

The meaning of the poster or the official NCAA statement is very clear.

This is a showdown between the candidates for the top pick!
