The brutal block was immediately followed by a fast break dunk.

This kind of scene is enough to make all fans raise their arms and open their mouths to shout.

Bobby Jones can't even make it into the mock draft rankings, and Bird doesn't know where he got the courage to challenge Wayne, who was ranked in the top three of the second round.

Trail Blazers scout Roy Perkins almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He's the guy who crossed Rasheed Wallace. Do you think he's joking with you?

That kind of straight-up mindless impact is fine for bullying ordinary people.

But if you want to rely on this trick to defeat a player who is about to play in the NBA? Wake up!

Speaking of which, Bird now has a new worry - Wayne's mock draft pick is getting higher and higher.

The Pacers' current record of 50 wins and 17 losses puts them far ahead in the Eastern Conference. Even if you look at the entire league, this record is definitely comparable.

This means that it is impossible for the Pacers to obtain a draft pick that is too high.

Bird originally thought that if Wayne was really good, he would use a draft pick at the end of the first round to intercept Wayne early and not give him the chance to enter the second round and be selected by others.

But now, Wayne is already in the top three of the second round. If his performance is so good, it is not impossible to enter the first round.

By then, with the Pacers holding a late first-round pick, it will be difficult to draft Wayne.

On the Trail Blazers side, general manager Steve Patterson was smiling from ear to ear.

Determined to rebuild, he made a mid-season move and traded two 2004 first-round picks for the Trail Blazers.

Coupled with the one he originally had, that means the Trail Blazers will have three first-round picks this summer!

So even if Wayne enters the first round, they have a high probability of picking him up.

The better Wayne performs, the more proof Patterson's vision is correct.

As for whether he can draft Wayne, Patterson is not worried at all.

Although he already has a lottery pick, he may not necessarily use the lottery pick to select Wayne.

But even so, there are still two first-round picks left. No matter how much they are missed, Wayne will never let them out of his palm!

Of course, the Blazers and Pacers are no longer the only teams that are interested in Wayne.

After all, he is the Big 12 regular season MVP, and Wayne is still very prestigious in the scouting circle.

The Utah Jazz are now also very interested in Wayne. "Pentagon Warrior" Andrei Kirilenko's outstanding performance in Salt Lake City has made the Jazz management very optimistic about all-round forwards like Wayne.

If they cannot get Latvian Andre Biedrins, they will seriously consider Wayne as a backup.

Cuban of the Dallas Mavericks is also somewhat interested in Wayne. Cuban has always advocated an international team and he has a soft spot for international players.

Moreover, the economic benefits that Yao Ming brought to Mosaic made Cuban extremely envious.

In addition, he had watched Wayne's performance in the Big 12 Conference finals and believed that Wayne still had potential that could be tapped.

He believes that under the premise that the Chinese market has been fully opened, Wayne's career in Dallas will be more successful than Wang Zhizhi's.

The Boston Celtics are also eyeing Wayne and Tony Allen, the two young men from Ohio State.

Like the Trail Blazers, who have three first-round picks, they have been considering the possibility of recruiting Wayne and Tony Allen at the same time.

Well, these teams all have one thing in common.

That is, they are all prepared to use their first-round picks to bet on this Chinese international student!

But the premise is that Wayne can bring more surprises in the March Madness Championship.

On the surface, Wayne's mock draft ranking is only in the top three of the second round.

But in fact, his market situation may undergo earth-shaking changes at any time.

Back on the court, after Wayne's head-on blow to Bobby Jones, Jones not only did not restrain himself, but he hit the basket again head-on.

But this time, before Wayne could take action, Joey Graham defended Jones himself.

Although Sutton Sr. did not specifically mention Jones before the game, this does not mean that the Cowboys players will let him do whatever he wants.

This is called strategically despising the enemy and tactically focusing on the enemy.

Now, Artest fully agrees with Bird's comments about Jones.

That guy either has some talent or is just a tough guy.

If it were him, wouldn't it be a successful breakthrough if he knocked Graham down with one elbow?

After the offense failed again, the Huskies retreated quickly.

Wayne had just beaten him into a counterattack dunk, so now they didn't dare to slack off at all when retreating.

This time, John Lucas played a little trick with fake eye movements.

He stared in the direction of Tony Allen, but passed the ball to a place completely opposite to where he was looking.

Although John Lucas is not participating in the draft this year, he is still aiming to play in the NBA.

As for his mediocre talent, he can only show his excellent ball distribution ability as much as possible.

Wayne caught the basketball two steps away from the three-point line and followed up with a three-pointer!

At the beginning of 2004, not many insiders would attack in this way.

Although the Huskies also know that Wayne likes to shoot three-pointers, sometimes the inertia of thinking cannot be reversed overnight.

Subconsciously, Wayne's opponent still thinks that he must at least hold the ball and stop before shooting.

Because most inside players' shots are very slow, giving people a cumbersome feeling.

But Wayne is not like that. His shot is as smooth and decisive as a three-position forward.

This ultra-long three-point shot may seem random, but it is Wayne's regular scoring method.

Without interference, Wayne rarely misses three-pointers, and this time is no exception.

"brush!"

The basketball hit the net, and Wayne raised his arm high and showed three fingers.

It was so easy and satisfying to get this score.

Artest nodded approvingly after seeing Wayne hit a three-pointer.

"This kid has a bit of a Lamar personality."

"Lamar? Which Lamar?" Bird propped himself up. For once, Artest said something that interested him.

"Of course it's my childhood friend Lamar Odom. Don't you think they are very similar? They are both very versatile, both have tall and lanky figures, they both walk like flying, and they both shoot accurately."

Artest shrugged, "It's a pity that his offensive ability and athletic ability with the ball are far worse than Lamar's."

Artest knows Odom well. After all, the two have played together on street courts since they were young and were teammates in high school for four years.

Speaking of which, Artest was the one who brought Kardashian and Odom together...

Is this the legendary cheating brother?

Bird patted his thigh, yes, Lamar Odom, why didn't you think about training Wayne in that direction?

Odom averaged 17.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game this season, so what else does he need?

In Bird's mind, Wayne's template has another possibility.

The player with the better odds...isn't that the most popular player in the draft?

Bird touched his chin. It seemed that he had to re-formulate his draft plan for this year.

What even Artest can see, it's impossible for scouts from other teams not to see it.

The probability of acquiring Wayne for free with a late first-round pick is getting lower and lower.

Bobby Jones felt bad when he saw Wayne follow up his dunk with a three-pointer.

For him who doesn't know how to shoot free throws, Wayne's shooting ability is simply incredible.

Why is he so accurate? He can shoot two steps away from the three-point line. I would be thankful if I could stand behind the free throw line and shoot accurately...

"Don't worry, Bobby, I know you want the $500, but don't mess around. That Chinese guy is not an ordinary person."

After Robinson took possession of the ball again after halftime, he reminded Jones to calm down.

Although Robinson is also playful and playful, he still knows what to do and what not to do on the basketball court, and is not as stubborn as Jones.

Jones nodded, and this time he honestly ran without the ball according to the tactics, and did not rush to play singles with the ball.

In this round, Roy finally caught the ball.

But as soon as he touched the ball, he was directly surrounded by Tony Allen.

Teacher Tony had just failed to forcefully attack Roy, and now he wanted to return the favor and give Roy a tough defense.

Roy was not in a hurry and calmly passed the ball to Robinson who cut into the mid-range.

Although he is only positioned as a role player, Roy is the calmest one among the Huskies on the court.

Robinson caught the ball and shot, a pull-up shot.

But not everyone is as accurate as Wayne. Robinson's jump shot missed the frame and failed to score.
