"Calm down, Karim. You're too agitated now.”
On the other end of the phone, Mickey Kupchak was stunned.
As soon as the call was connected, Jabbar began to attack.
Wasn't he acting too excited?
"If you had watched the match live, it would have been hard not to be excited.”
Kareem laughed too." Mickey, all in all, Wang is the kind of player the Laker needs.”
"I think this is a good opportunity. You can think of a way to get him here next summer.”
A thousand words.
Just get Wang Yan to the Los Angeles team and it'll be over!
No matter how much he said or how much he bragged.
Why don't we just get Wang Yan to join the Los Angeles team and see how effective it is!
"Looks like we have to send scouts to the field.”
As Mickey Kupchak spoke, he suddenly thought of something."Karim, if you were to find a draft template for Wang Yan, who do you think he would prefer?”
Talent selection template.
This was usually written in the scout report.
But Kupchak wanted to see:
Since Kareem was so optimistic about Wang Yan, what kind of draft template would he give this young man?
"The way he scores is more like LeBron James in the early days of his career in the Cavaliers.”
Tian Gou rubbed his chin." But combined with his position, he might be more like Russell Westbrook in his rookie days.”
"But whether it's LeBron or Russell, they're different from Wang in many ways.”
James and Wei Shao, Wang Yan's style of play indeed looked very similar to the early stages of their careers.
However, looking at the entire match.
Kareem felt that there were still many differences between Wang Yan and the two of them.
For example, the presence and enthusiasm of the defensive end.
Another example was that Wang Yan's static talent was too ridiculous. With such a static talent, he could still have a historical level dynamic talent.
The finishing ability of the inside lane was even more exaggerated.
In summary.
It was indeed very difficult to find his draft template.
"Maybe Wang is closer to Shaq, but Wang is a defender.”
After thinking for a long time, Kareem still said the player closest to Wang Yan in his heart.
The Deep-Sea Shark with the maximum level of dominance inside the paint--Shaquille O'Neal!
Just like what countless fans had said.
Wang Yan was indeed like a big shark on the defensive line.
Invincible strength, full destructive power!
"Mickey, I think you need to move faster.”
At the end of the call, Jabbar calmed down."After today's game, there will be more teams paying attention to Wang Yan.”
Kareem wasn't just saying this casually.
After Wang Yan's epic triple double of 40 blocked shots in the California Derby…
The major media outlets in the United States gave this match eye-catching headlines on their news headlines.
The Los Angeles Daily News was a local media outlet in Los Angeles.
He even placed the freeze-frame footage of Wang Yan's slam dunk on the front page of the official website!
At the same time, he posted a slogan:
The beast that created history has conquered California!》
The other major media outlets 'coverage of Wang Yan inevitably made the top scorer popular and brought him into the eyes of the NBA teams.
Especially those teams that were at the bottom of the league and had failed to achieve their goals for the season!
The NBA was ranked at the bottom of the league, including the Nottingham Forest Wolves, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Orlando Magic, the Sacramento Kings, and the denver nuggets.
They sent scouts to Los Angeles.
It was just like how they had already sent scouts to scout Carl Anthony Towns, Dangilo Russell, and Jalil Okafor.
Wang Yan was already listed among the top three rookies by many teams.
Wait, why were there four people in the top three rookies?
Please.
There were even five top-three universities.
Wasn't it normal for there to be four rookies in the top three?
In November, UCLA still showed its strong dominance.
Their winning streak continued.
Whether it was the University of Ore, which had high hopes, or the University of Arizona Buffaloes.
None of them could stop their winning streak on the tour.
However, according to the analysis of many experts:
The University of Ore and the University of Arizona, two teams that had the ability to snipe UCLA's winning streak, were saving their strength for the knockout stage.
One had to know.
According to the schedule rules of the PAC-12 Alliance.
After the tournaments, there were still single-elimination tournaments.
To quote the NBA.
The tournament was just a regular season.
The championship was similar to the playoffs.
Only when the championship had the last laugh would it be the true season championship!
Therefore…
The University of Ore and the University of Arizona were obviously holding back in the tournament.
They looked like they were going to give UCLA a head-on blow in the championship!
At the same time.
In the midst of UCLA's triumphant advance in November.
Another popular team in Los Angeles was being tortured on a stove.
There was no mistake.
That was the Los Angeles Clippers!
The performance of the former powerhouses in November could only be said to be terrible.
The three-game losing streak in October continued until the beginning of November.
At the beginning of the season, the Los Angeles Clippers started with a five-game winning streak.
Finally, on November 9th, they defeated the Hornets.
The Los Angeles Clippers had another four-game losing streak!
Especially the loss to the Golden State Warriors.
Kobe Bryant scored 44 points in three quarters, and the team ended up trailing the Warriors by 35 points!
After the terrible record of 3 wins and 10 losses in November.
The fans in Los Angeles had already started a new round of verbal and written criticism of the Laker on the Internet.
"The Los Angeles Clippers are already terrible. They are the worst team in Los Angeles!”
"The Los Angeles Clippers can compete with UCLA for the best team in Los Angeles!”
"But if you tie the Clippers and the Clippers together against UCLA, then UCLA is the best team!”
"Are there still any fans of the Los Angeles Clippers? Why not watch UCLA's invincible performance instead of the heart-wrenching performance of the Laker?”
"With all due respect, what the Laker should be doing now is trading everyone except Kobe! Then, he would trade with UCLA for Wang Yan!”
"Only Wang Yan can save this rotten LAL (Los Angeles Laker). Even if Michael Jordan comes, he can't!”
The anger of the Laker fans was already expressed in the various comments they made on the Internet.
Wang Yan and his UCLA gradually became the new favorite in Los Angeles and even California.
In a poll by the local media in Los Angeles.
The popularity of UCLA and Wang Yan was even higher than Kobe and his Los Angeles team.
With 78% support, he was elected as the most popular team in Los Angeles and the leader of the most popular team in Los Angeles!
A fan who voted for UCLA said on the forum,"
"You support the Los Angeles Lakers? It was very likely that they would repay you with a wave of consecutive defeats.”
"But if you support UCLA? Wang Yan would only win more in the next match!”
Just like the fans thought.
Wang Yan, who was elected as the most popular team leader in Los Angeles, never disappointed.
At the final stage of the tour in December.
Wang Yan led UCLA to continue their winning streak.
They used a winning streak to perfectly end the PAC-12 league tournament.
In the 22 matches of the tournament, it was hard to lose.
With a 22-win streak and a dominating record of 22 wins and 0 losses, he entered the tournament!
According to the rules of the PAC-12 Alliance.
The top four seed of the tournament, in the first round of the tournament, was given a bye.
They automatically qualified for the top eight.
After the first round of the PAC-12 League Championship.
UCLA after Christmas.
They welcomed their first opponent in the tournament, the Stanford Crimson.
He defeated the upgraded Stanford Crimson without any bloodshed.
On the last day of December at UCLA.
They welcomed their opponents in the top four of the tournament.
That was to possess:
Joseph Young, Dillon Brooks, Taylor Dorsey, Jordan Bell, and Chris Boucher, a strong NBA starting lineup.
The Ore Ducks!
(There was almost no movement in the flower evaluation votes. I beg all readers to support me greatly. I beg!!）
