Chapter 34 Concerns from the NBA(2/2)
On the contrary, because there was Durant on the opposite side, he knew that the first round would not be easy.
Especially since Georgia Tech turned the tables yesterday.
You must know that Georgia Tech is an Atlanta team and they are playing games in Atlanta now. It is impossible not to notice.
Seeing Green still looking serious, Hibbert suddenly felt a little bored.
Green's gentle and low-key temperament is exactly the same as that of Grant Hill, not like their black people at all.
However, he still recognized Green's strength, so he was not angry.
"Relax, I will teach them a lesson inside."
Hibbert continued.
He didn't know anyone else at the University of Texas except Durant.
Although the head coach also focused on the opponent's insider named Lin during the pre-game arrangements.
But a Chinese player?
It's a pity that he is not playing against himself, otherwise he will definitely make the opponent regret coming to the United States to play.
"Roy, don't underestimate your opponent."
Green spoke at this time.
Although Hibbert has few opponents in the NCAA, he will not fall behind even if he competes with Oden.
But the opponents they encounter on the stage of "Crazy Three" are all unknown. If they underestimate their opponents, they will be the next ones to be upset.
Hibbert chuckled lightly and didn't pay attention to what Green said.
Both teams were doing their final warm-ups before the game, and the camera was shown to the audience.
There are fanatical fans on both sides. In the eyes of the fans, there is no strong or weak distinction after they have reached the stage of "Crazy Three".
In a game, the probability of winning by both sides is 50%.
Among these spectators, there were many scouts.
This year is a rare draft year. Tonight's game brings together two lottery picks and even top five rookies, Durant and Green. Teams who have the opportunity to select them are naturally eager to try.
You must know that in terms of strength, there is a huge gap between the University of Texas and Georgetown University, and they are likely to be eliminated in the first round.
In other words, this may be their only chance to see Durant's strength on the "Crazy Three" stage.
Scouts from the Celtics, Grizzlies and Bucks are all eager to try.
This year’s draw will not be held until late May.
Although the draft has not yet been decided and the season is not over yet, the three of them are basically determined to be the three with the worst records.
The only uncertainty is which one of them shows off more thoroughly in the end, and which one has a higher probability of winning the No. 1 pick.
So naturally, they are also the team with the best chance to get Durant.
Even if the back of the hand is not drawn into the top three, they still have a good chance of picking Green.
In addition to these three, there are three other teams that are also paying close attention to tonight's game.
Spurs, Rockets and Mavericks.
The top three in Texas.
Of course they can't be here for Durant or Green.
They have basically locked up a spot in the playoffs this year, and they have a first-round pick among the bottom.
So their target is some other players tonight, such as Hibbert and Lin Ying.
If you know how eager the Thunder were to get Griffin in 2009, it's not surprising that the top three teams in Texas would be interested in Lin Ying.
Because they are in the same state, they have access to the most player information.
If there are good players, they will naturally be the first to pay attention.
The first is the rocket.
Because they have Yao Ming, they are now the most popular in China.
If we can select another Chinese player, that would definitely be the icing on the cake.
Moreover, Lin Ying's style of play can open up space for Yao Ming and help Yao Ming defend, which is also very suitable.
Although Lin Ying hasn't announced his candidacy yet, so we don't know his draft status yet, but we estimate that he will probably be in the middle of the second round.
Even if this pick is not picked, the loss to the team will not be huge.
Next is the calf.
What is easily overlooked is that the Mavericks have always been very invested in the development of the Chinese market.
From the earliest Wang Zhizhi to the later "Silver Fox" Harris, these are the most direct examples.
So it's very normal for them to be interested in Lin Ying.
Finally, there's the Spurs.
If you want to say that the team in the NBA that loves low-post treasure hunts the most, it has to be the Spurs.
Moreover, their draft estimate for Lin Ying is higher than that of the Mavericks and Rockets.
They have confidence and experience in training players like Lin Ying who have outstanding advantages and disadvantages.
On the court, the warm-ups on both sides were almost complete, and the opening ceremony began.
There is no distinction between home and away games in neutral arenas, but when playing, the team with the worse record goes first.
In other words, the University of Texas played first.
Augustine, James, Durant, Lin Ying, Wendell.
As he said when communicating with Springman before, Barnes chose a relatively safe starting lineup.
After the University of Texas, Georgetown University is closely followed.
Jonathan Wallace, Jesse Sapp, Jeff Green, Dajuan Summers, Roy Hibbert!
When both teams took the field, the fans used their loudest voices to support their teams.
When Georgetown University played, the decibel level was obviously louder.
They all have the same chance of winning. Everyone knows that the University of Texas is the No. 13 seed, and they are the No. 4 seed!
Hibbert was the last one to appear, raising his hands high to greet the cheers of his fans.
Chapter completed!
