March 29th, 6 PM.
Lucas Oil Stadium in Arizona was already packed with people.
Reporters lined both sides of the street. Some players who could not buy tickets were watching the live broadcast on the big screen outside the stadium!
The atmosphere of the NCAA finals was intense.
On this day, even the NBA regular season stopped!
Some back-to-back teams that were constantly flying around could finally catch their breath.
On this day, even a group of people like ** entered the stadium accompanied by bodyguards and sat in the best seats to watch the battle.
The NCAA finals was definitely an annual event in the basketball world.
From the top leaders to the children in the slums, everyone was sitting in front of the television to watch the showdown.
Of course, NBA President David Stern was also paying attention.
He also wanted to see Lin Qing's performance.
It was too lucrative for a player from a big country to play in the NBA.
Yao Ming was the best example.
David Stern had always hoped that the appearance of a " second Yao " could better promote the NBA and bring more benefits to the NBA.
The commercial value of a player from a powerful country was immeasurable!
The league was now supporting LeBlanc James, but the Cavaliers couldn't even get past the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference, let alone play against the first-place team in the Western Conference, the Los Angeles Clippers.
The guest commentator for today's finals was Regimille.
The competition would be broadcast live across the United States through television stations.
The big mouth Barkley and Kenny Smith's program had already started 20 minutes before the start of the game. The two kept bickering, joking, and discussing this year's talent show.
Most of the topics were still about Lin Qing.
It was really unexpected that the NCAA had sent out a talented Asian guard.
They had always thought that Asians could barely play basketball. Players like Yao Ming were still a minority, not to mention the NCAA. The NCAA was definitely not a small challenge for Asian players.
However, Lin Qing was able to stand out from the NCAA's hellish March Madness.
This was truly shocking.
"I think Lin can get 30 points today. Kenny, have you ever seen anyone control the ball so well in the NBA?”
Barkley asked with a smile.
Kenny Smith knew that he was going to brag about Lin Qing again!
If he failed, it would just be an error in judgment. But if Lin Qing really had the ability to brag, the old baldy Barkley would definitely gain a lot of fans again. He would also be able to tease and act cool in front of Lin Qing often.
Kenny Smith smiled helplessly.
"Regarding their tactics, I think Lin will definitely be surrounded by the other side.”
Barkley retorted," The double-team doesn't work on Lin. His explosive power can get rid of the double-team very well.”
" The overall strength of the Oklahoman Cowboys is still a little lacking. North Carolina has a strong foundation, and their tactical execution and quality are unmatched by any team in the NCAA!”
Ken retorted mercilessly.
"What?"
After seeing Jordan and Caite at the scene, this guy, Kenny, started to brag about North America again?
Barkley could not refute.
He had checked the information of the North Carolina players. They were indeed strong.
Ty Lawson, Danny Green, Ellington, and Taylor Hansbrough, all four players were on ESPM's draft website and were going to participate in this year's draft.
Their center, Ed Davis, was only a freshman this year, but he had a keen sense of rebounding, as well as a unique advantage in height and length.
Ed Davis was going to participate in the draft next year.
North Carolina's tactical execution was known as the best in the United States. The distribution of the ball among the players was professional in the NBA, and their overall strength was the best in the United States.
On the other hand, only Lin Qing and Blake Griffin played against the University of Oklahoman, and they always relied on their ace to score.
Kenny believed that North Carolina would definitely be on the defensive end to destroy Lin Qing and Blake's cooperation.
"Charles, basketball is a five-person sport. A role player is still a role player. Even if Lin plays exceptionally well, it will be difficult for Russia University to challenge North America.”
Barkley's face was flushed red.
The old man's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, and he really couldn't refute it.
He really wanted to say that in the face of absolute strength, any strategy would collapse.
However, this sentence was too presumptuous and arrogant. Lin Qing had shown a certain level of strength, but the stage was different.
On the NCAA stage, there were too many players who had impressive results and were praised by various experts and the news media.
Someone was the next " Iverson," the next Kobe, the next Jordan, and so on. However, after entering the NBA, their trajectories were completely different, and their various games were a mess.
A certain scout cursed angrily,"He's really blind. He's actually a fake!"”
Barkley thought that Lin Qing had potential, but it was still in the observation stage.
Lin Qing and the rest of the team were in the temporary locker room, and Bishop Travice was giving his final instructions.
Again and again.
Today's opponent was too strong!
John also specifically explained the characteristics of the opponent. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
Ty Lawson, one of the strongest point guards of the 2009 season. Many fans thought that he was better than Curry, but he was a little short, only 180 centimeters, and was a technical and fast guard.
In the NCAA, college players had a lot of influence. For example, Jonny Flyin of the Syracuse Orangemen looked down on Curry because he was more influential than Curry in all aspects.
But after entering the NBA, what would happen to everyone in the future?
Whether it was a plummeting fall or a comeback to become a superstar, everyone's trajectory was completely different.
Taylor Hansbrough, 206 cm, broke the NCAA player's total free throw record by himself. He made a total of 907 free throws, ranking sixth in the NCAA's total score.
Although Danny Green was not well received after joining the Cavaliers and had been arranged to play as a substitute, his development was very stable in the later stages, especially in the finals. He had a long performance and was affectionately called "Emperor Ma" by the fans.
Now, Danny Green was known as one of the top pitchers in the NCAA. His three-point shooting percentage was as high as 46.7!
Wayne Ellington, the leading scorer of the University of North Columbia's Tar Heels, could score 20.1 points per game. His offensive scoring methods were comprehensive, and he could be said to be the main player of the University of North Columbia.
Ed Davis, a 208-centimeter center, was one of the NCAA's block blocking maniacs. His jumping ability was outstanding, and he was called the " springman " by university fans.
Such a strong Eddy was only a substitute for Dion Thompson.
" Lin, don't be careless. We have to win steadily in our battle against the Northern Block.”
Travice's face was solemn.
John smiled.
It seemed like Travice still didn't understand what level of player Lin Qing was!
