Chapter 86: Lord Baylor's invitation to advance to the semi-finals
Syracuse University lost 20 points in this game. Although it was not much, compared to their heroic spirit before the game, the entire team understood a word from the players who came to watch the game.
Derek Coleman was the one who was slapped the most in the face. Before this round of the game started, he claimed in front of many journalists and media that John Wallace would lead the team to the semi-finals like he did in 1988. The Lsu Tigers were no match for the Orange Man at all, and Michael Finley and John Wallace were not at the same level.
As a result, Finley scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in this game, but John Wallace, whom he had high hopes, only 8 points, 3 rebounds and 4 mistakes. As the first core of the team, he actually made four mistakes. This is really a taboo. It can be said that the latter was killed by him.
After the game, Wang Lin came to Jim Boheim. The middle-aged man's expression was a little disappointed, but he still shook hands with Wang Lin. After Wang Lin and Jim Boheim shook hands, he looked at Derek Coleman. "Derick Coleman, you're very good, I remember you."
What was left for the latter was a confused look on his face, and Wang Lin left without saying a word.
Lsu once again reached the regional finals, and the final matches of the other three regions have also emerged. The eastern region is Boston College and Alabama, the southeast region is Purdue and Michigan, and the mid-west region is Arkansas and Duke. Three teams in the quarterfinals all come from the SEC League. Since Lsu rose two years ago, the strength of the entire SEC League has also begun to become stronger. In the years since Lsu's rise, the league has completely become a foil. I wonder if this situation can be changed this year.
The opponent in the LS final was not Arizona, because Arizona was sent home by the University of Missouri, and the opponent in the final was the University of Missouri. The only star of this team is Melvin Booker. Apart from the latter, there is no player in the Missouri Tigers who can show off. Melvin Booker has a potential value of more than 60. This guy scored 25 points in the game against Arizona, which is the key to winning.
Of course, Wang Lin can remember him thanks to his unborn son, Devin Booker. Although his basketball talent is not as high as his son, he is still the absolute core at the University of Missouri, and the Tigers are not careless in this game.
Just as Wang Lin was watching videos from the University of Missouri, two uninvited guests appeared in his room.
One is Ergazi, and the other is Elgin Baylor. None of the most lucky men in NBA history. Not only did the eight Asian kings of the players, but they were not as good as the general manager draft. They can be regarded as one of the weirdos in NBA history. Of course, what made Wang Lin even more curious is how the stingy and racist Sterling could tolerate Elgin Baylor for so many years? Are they both true love?
Although Ergazi has been in the UC for a while, if you ask him who the Lakers' general manager is, he might know, but the Clippers, haha, does Los Angeles have this team?
But when he came, he was a guest. Wang Lin made a cup of coffee for them. Elgin Baylor actually looked a bit like Russell, but the other party was the Lord of the Rings, and he was the Eight Asian King. What's even more frustrating is that he just retired, and the Lakers used the regular season record to add the championship to stab him in the chest with a 33-game winning streak. His mother was criticized. At that moment, Mr. Baylor must have felt that the logo men and his teammates were playing themselves.
"Wang, I came here to invite you to be the head coach of the Clippers. I wonder if you are interested?"
Sure enough, Wang Lin knew why the other party came when he saw Elgin Baylor. Ergazi was stirring a coffee spoon next to him, and then shouted, "Oh, it turns out that you are the eight Asian kings in NBA history, Elgin Baylor, the most tricky superstar in the history of the Lakers,"
Elgin Baylor was a little embarrassed. Damn, can you please tell me if you don’t want to show it? I don’t want to be faced, f.u.c.k, this bastard really doesn’t know any etiquette.
Wang Lin spoke, "Then what power can I get?"
Power? Elgin Baylor? He was confused. I'm here to ask you to be the head coach. It's enough to give you a face. Is it good? If you still want power, why don't you go to heaven?
Ergazi looked at Wang Lin as if he was watching a monster. His childhood friend was still as stunned as when he was a child. He never knew what fear was. Yes, he was worthy of being the Wang family.
"You should know, nba..."
Elgin Baylor wanted to continue his long talk, but Wang Lin was not interested in continuing to listen to him.
"This is my requirement. If I go to be a head coach, I have to have the power to trade players, otherwise we don't need to continue talking."
Elgin Baylor smiled. He had no intention of drinking coffee at all. He stood up from the sofa. His black face was extremely blue. As for how Wang Lin saw it, did he forget that he was a man possessed by a cheat.
"Then I wish you good luck." Elgin Baylor said this and left Wang Lin. He never thought that the result would be like this when he personally invited him.
Wang Lin didn't care about Elgin Baylor leaving in anger. He knew very well what kind of person Elgin Baylor was. He was an existence with a weird and extremely narcissistic talent show. If he really went to the Clippers, wouldn't this guy be unemployed? So it would be natural to reject himself.
"Second brother, you are too stupid. Before you enter the NBA, you started to negotiate terms with these NBA executives."
Wang Lin ignored Ergazi. This guy has always been harassing himself for some time recently, or showing off that he has met a few ocean horses, but what is the use of it? After a few years, he will still marry the one in his family. As for these ocean horses, they can only live in their dreams.
On March 26, the UC Troys home court at Los Angeles Athletic Stadium will soon begin the final of the West Side. The winning team will advance to the semi-finals, while the losing team will leave the stage of the elite game.
Last season, the University of Missouri was also in the West District, but they were sent home by Temple University in the first round in the West District. This year they reached the West District final, which can be said to be without any regrets.
So before the game, the atmosphere at the University of Missouri was very relaxed. As a mid-range team in the Western Conference, it was able to reach the quarterfinals all the way and now it was about to play in the quarterfinals, which was like dreaming.
In addition to Melvin Booker, the Missouri Tigers also have a Derek Grim, a six-foot-nine-tall Brutal Front, but unfortunately, they are very moderate in other aspects except for bounce.
So in this game, Wang Lin did not let Kato start, and the starter was still Da Ben. Da Ben's offensive skills still did not change, and Wang Lin did not use David Robinson's shooting for the opponent, because Wang Lin thought Da Ben was good like this. As for cutting Sharks, his offensive deterrence in the inside line did not even have one-third of O'Neal. Who would waste the foul on him? Even if it was soy sauce, it was a foul.
Daben continues to follow the development route of his previous life. Didn’t he also enter the All-Star in his previous life? Although he has never been in the Hall of Fame. However, he won the championship, the best defensive player, and has also been through a big contract. In general, he is a successful professional player.
In this game, Ray Allen followed Wang Lin's instructions and was close to Melvin Booker. This guy played the defender like his son, and he was the second position, not the double-energy guard who could swing like his son. In fact, the double-energy guard is stupid because if you don't have enough vision in the number one position, it will be useless. Scoring and other positions are also possible. Unless you are really strong, the double-energy guard attributes will only make people more mediocre.
Ray Allen did not give the opponent any small moves. Although the latter ran well without the ball, as a master of running without the ball, Ray Allen naturally knew how to defend. With Wang Lin's guidance, Melvin Booker really had nowhere to hide in front of him.
Derek Grim, who was in the inside, wanted to dunk Duncan, but he had to be hot pot and not dunk, and he was useless. After Derek Grim cut off contact with Melvin Booker, he had no idea how to play. They were both inside and outside the Missouri Tigers, but the double core was pinched, and the Tiger became a sick cat.
Mark Atkins faced Nash and wanted to break through hard. Nash had already had some experience, so he was not afraid, but he did not lose his position, and hit the opponent's ball with both hands. Bang, before Mark Atkins had switched the ball from the other hand, he was stabbed by Nash. Ray Allen, who was entangled with Melvin Booker, threw away the former and got the ball and went to the backcourt and dunked. On the stage of the elite game, Ray Allen and Duncan still had many dunks, and there were three to four dunks in an average game.
Chapter completed!
