031: Tony delivered to the door(1/2)
Wayne didn't expect that his mere 32 points in a single game would have such a huge impact.
In Wayne's opinion, 32 points is indeed a lot, but...
This is not an exaggerated score!
It wasn't until Director Zhang gave Wayne some knowledge during an interview on the night of the game that Wayne realized how difficult it was to score 30+ points in the NCAA.
In the future, when Wayne goes out, he can pat his chest and tell everyone: "We were also the top students in the Big 12 League back then. The highest score in a single game in our college career is almost the same as Anthony's highest score in a single game in college!"
But having said that, Wayne has seen Tony Allen score 30+ points more than once this season. He always thought it was not that difficult at all...
That said, the Cowboys are too strong this season.
Seeing the "Oklahoma Post" filled with reports about this game, Wayne was extremely satisfied.
The plan to shoot Tucker was a great success, and the springboard ejection plan was a great success.
Well, I don’t know if this game will make Tucker’s draft stock lower in the future...
Don't blame me, I didn't mean it.
I just want to get double points.
After this focused showdown, the campus of Ohio State could no longer regain its calm.
They took down the second-ranked team in the country last season. Guess how much attention this will bring to the Cowboys.
In the past, Wayne was at best "besieged" by fans.
Today, at the entrance of the Gallagher-Elba Arena, Wayne even met several sports reporters who came to interview him.
One thing that always surprised Wayne in his previous life was how those fresh-faced college students could behave so calmly in the NBA.
Even if it is their debut, most rookie players can finish the game successfully.
Now, Wayne knows the answer.
Because from Wayne's perspective, people have already become accustomed to the big NBA scenes in college or even high school.
No, a small Cowboys team can attract so many reporters. When you enter the NBA and be surrounded by reporters, wouldn't it be strange?
When Wayne saw the reporter approaching with a camera, he couldn't refuse, so he stood there and agreed to the interview by default.
Originally, Wayne was thinking, so the reporter asked some questions about yesterday's game.
Little did he know that the reporter was the first one to confuse Wayne.
"Wei, who do you think will be next year's No. 1 pick, Emeka Okafor or Dwight Howard?"
"Ah!?" Wayne thought the reporter had picked the wrong word. Who between Okafor and Howard would become the No. 1 pick... It's none of his business!
"Just want you to comment, because last night, Emeka Okafor told reporters that he thought you played a great game and compared you with his teammate Villanueva. In this regard, you
How do you think about it?"
Wayne now understood, after waiting for a long time, that this reporter was here to start a fight.
The sports reporters of this era, ah, to be exact, even the sports reporters of any era, are all masters of provocation.
Take the most famous conflict of this period, the conflict between Kobe and O'Neal.
If there were no reporters and media to add fuel to the fire, the relationship between Kobe and O'Neal might not have intensified so quickly.
This is what O'Neal admitted after retiring.
"Thank you Emeka for the compliment. As for the question of who is the top pick, Dwight or him, I can't answer the question."
"So, if the Cowboys meet Connecticut in the March Madness tournament, do you think you have a chance against Okafor or Villanueva?"
The reporter persisted. After all, Wayne has been so popular recently, while Okafor has always been very popular.
If sparks can be created between the two, won't there be endless news topics?
But Wayne did not fall into the trap and just shrugged at the camera: "I have never seen Emeka, so I don't know if I can win. If it happens, my team and I will do our best.
Give it your all, that’s it.”
Wayne waved his hand and hurriedly "escaped" the scene and walked into the stadium.
She is so famous and famous that reporters are starting to try to hype her up.
Although Wayne does need exposure and news topics, forget about this topic.
It's enough to offend one God, Wayne doesn't want to offend another person.
There are benefits to having many friends, but I have never heard that having many enemies is also beneficial.
Besides, Okafor in college, that's no joke.
Wayne is now averaging more than 3 blocks per game, which has already made the fans want to die.
As for Okafor, he averages 4.7 blocks per game...
In fact, Okafor has not been weak since he entered the NBA. In his rookie year, he beat Howard to win the Rookie of the Year award. In the first five years of his career, he averaged a double-double per game.
Later, due to his too peaceful personality and injuries, he gradually disappeared from everyone.
If he casually boasted about Haikou and ended up losing in the end, Wayne couldn't afford to lose this person.
But having said that, his performance in yesterday's game was reported to Okafor's ears?
That guy is on the East Coast!
It seems that the influence of this game is far beyond Wayne's imagination.
※※※
On the 7th, Wayne went with the team to Colorado and had a second game with the Buffaloes.
Before the game started, Harrison threatened to take revenge at home and regain his face.
As a result, "gorilla face" Harrison only scored 8 points in the whole game. The double-teaming of Wayne and Holmes continued to make him miserable.
After this game, the Pacers scout wrote this in the report: "I think Way is now a better player than Harrison."
After the game, a disgraced Harrison stammered in an interview: "We will decide the final outcome in the championship."
He didn't have the confidence to say this, and people didn't take it seriously at all.
Beat the Cowboys?
There is no such team in the Big 12 Conference!
In this way, the Cowboys won 15 consecutive victories before finally losing the first game.
In the game against the Jayhawks, a traditional powerhouse in the league, the University of Kansas, I don't know if it was because of the presence of Kansas star Paul Pierce, but every one of the Jayhawks' players performed beyond their standards today.
They threw a lot of magic shots that were not opportunities, and finally won an upset victory by 4 points.
However, the loss in this game did not affect the Cowboys' status in people's hearts. In the regular season, it is normal to lose one or two games.
Besides, a record of 15 wins and 1 loss is scary enough, right?
The Cowboys' best regular season record in history is just 29 wins and 6 losses.
Judging from the current situation, Wayne and his team are still very likely to make history this time around.
After this game was played, it was already approaching Christmas.
Before you know it, Wayne has been competing in the NCAA for almost two months.
Now, Wayne's predicted pick has reached the early second round, and he is considered to be a top 10 outstanding player in the second round.
In other words, it belongs in the top 40 in the United States!
No, if you put aside those high school talents, Wayne should be among the top 35 college players in the United States.
This counterattack speed really put the accelerator into the fuel tank.
As long as March Madness can go well, the draft ranking will definitely rise.
But what's troubling Wayne very much now is...he has no games to play.
Because during the Christmas period, schools will be on vacation for three weeks. Naturally, the Big 12 League games will also be temporarily suspended.
Wayne remembered that in his previous life he had seen news about the NCAA imitating the NBA in holding a Christmas game, but the current NCAA does not have such a Christmas game.
At this time, the NCAA's commercial atmosphere was far from as strong as it would be in the future.
There was no game to play, and Wayne was very depressed.
The whole school is on holiday, and there are no trainers available to train with.
The growth of growth points seems to be unexpectedly stagnant for a while.
Going home for the holidays? Wayne really couldn't afford to waste that air ticket money.
In 2003, with the economic situation of an ordinary family, you could not fly anywhere you wanted.
There is no way, who makes NCAA players without wages?
And if he went back and faced the familiar Chinese dishes, Wayne was afraid that he would be unable to hold his tongue and his nutritional plan would be ruined.
Another point is that he suddenly has to meet another set of parents and live with them...Wayne still feels very strange and is not ready yet.
To be continued...
