Just after the game, Shea also learned that as the fifth seed, Michigan State advanced easily and they were not upset in the first round.

And this also means that the fifth seed and the fourth seed will meet in the second round!

Steve Smith performed as well as ever in this game, scoring 28 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 10 of 21 shots.

Moreover, it can be seen that Steve Smith did not try his best.

He scored 28 points just in an understatement.

As the apprentice of a magician, Steve Smith has always been known as the "little magician".

Although his style is completely different from that of the magician, this does not prevent the media from forcibly tying the two together.

Shay is also known as the "Chinese Magician".

Therefore, the reporters found the magician himself and asked him who he was more optimistic about in the next game.

Magic is of course a supportive alma mater and junior.

"You have no idea how strong Steve Smith is. If Shay is good enough to beat Steve Smith, then I'm afraid the Lakers will choose him to replace me, hahahaha."

The magician made a joke, and his answer also attracted more people's attention to the showdown between the two NCAA magicians.

In fact, the Lakers management is really curious about how good this Shay is.

Although the Lakers are a championship contending team this season, they do not have particularly high-ranking draft picks and have no plans to introduce high-ranking rookies.

But observation is always necessary.

While everyone was talking about the duel between Shea and Steve Smith, Michigan State coach John Hurt, who trained Magic, focused on winning the next game on Mourning.

Mourning's poor performance today was, to be honest, not what Hurt expected.

He has discovered that this guy Mourning is a typical expert in civil war and an outsider in foreign war.

Playing within the Big East Conference, he performed really well.

But once it comes to the NCAA tournament, especially in major competitions, Mourning's performance is hard to describe.

Take last year's Georgetown game against UNLV as an example.

Before Mourning was sent off, he only made 2 of 5 shots, scored 7 points and made 4 turnovers.

He didn't even dare to take action!

Even if he is not sent off, given his condition, it will actually be difficult for him to contribute to the team.

So tomorrow, Hurt decided to let Mourning go, and use two inside players to flank Mutombo in advance, cutting off the connection between Shea and Mutombo.

Mutombo is not a player with strong scoring ability, and Michigan State also has a center who can play in the NBA in the future, Mike Peproski.

If he is used to carry Mutombo and supplemented by double-teaming, Georgetown's offense will definitely be completely blocked!

As for Michigan State's own offense...

Then don't worry, just give the damn ball to Steve!

As for the Chinese magician, it’s just hype.

Why is Shay suddenly so popular and why is there so much media coverage?

Isn't it all the fault of that old Jewish man Stern? He wants to open up the international market like crazy. He must be hyping up a few international players.

There are only a few of these hyped stars every year, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Magician orthodoxy, big at Michigan State!
