NBA villain

Chapter 635 Ranking Competition II

Time spanned to April 2007, and the situation before the playoffs became more and more tense.

The NBA is divided into several levels, the top teams that can compete for the championship, the league giants who are striving for a place in the playoffs, the young teams that turn around and fight for honor, and the poor teams that wipe away their tears and prepare to come back next season.

At the same time, the NCAA March Madness ended, and the National Championship entered the final four stage.

Georgetown vs. Ohio State, Florida vs. UCLA.

Among them, Florida and UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) were opponents in the NCAA finals last year. Florida defeated UCLA 73 to 57 in the finals last year.

Last year, Yang Di also watched the finals in Phoenix with Baron Davis. You know, Baron Davis is an honorary alumni of UCLA.

UCLA has sent too many talents to the NBA for a long time. For example, Matt Barnes in the Warriors is a player who graduated from UCLA. Before that, Bill Walton, Reggie Miller, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, these people All are well-known, and they have all left a strong performance in the history of the NBA.

Yang Di paid close attention to this game. He wanted to see what would happen to UCLA when they met Florida, which defeated them, in the second year.

He remembered that when he left the arena in Phoenix, he also met two UCLA freshmen who were sought after for signatures. If they performed well, they should be in the UCLA team now.

But he doesn't care about small things like this, maybe they are just two ordinary basketball players?

There are also Georgetown University and Ohio State University that Yang Di is not very familiar with. I only know that Georgetown University seems to be the alma mater of Allen Iverson and Mutombo. Maybe this is the reason why these two people used to cooperate. Over a period of time, and played great results.

As for Ohio State University, their head player Greg Oden is known as a super talent once in 50 years, integrating strength, jumping, wingspan, low-post offense, high-post support, mid-range jumper, and defense with the ball. It is already believed that as long as he participates in the 07 NBA draft, he will definitely be the No. [-] pick in the NBA.

Yang Di hadn't heard of this player at the beginning, and he didn't know that there was such a god-man until the NCAA was in its infancy.

How famous is Oden?

When he was a sophomore in high school, he was considered to be the No. [-] pick in the draft any following year.You know, only one person in history has received such praise: Alcindor, who has dominated the NCAA for four times, is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as we know him later.

The most amazing thing about Oden is his wingspan. It is said that his wingspan is 8 feet!In the game, he is like an insurmountable barrier in front of the basket. He averaged 3.3 blocks per game in college. This year, Oden played with his injured right hand and averaged 15.7 points per game. It is believed that Oden came to the university to recuperate from his injuries.

ESPN recently published an article that made everyone even more excited about the big man.The article said: "This 7-foot giant will become the next ruler of the NBA. He is a mixture of O'Neal, Olajuwon, Duncan and Yang Di."

As a result, Oden has become a new star that everyone is looking forward to. No one knows whether he will participate in this year's draft, especially OJ-Mayo, who is now known as the number one high school student in the United States, is very worried.

On April 4, both games will be played simultaneously.

As a result, UCLA still lost to the University of Florida, and Yang Di watched the game at home.

The core of UCLA's lineup is Afflalo, center Mata, power forward Murtie, and point guard Darren Collison. As for the two players that Yang Di saw, they also appeared in the lineup. One is Russell Westbrook, one is Kevin Love, but both of them are just substitutes at present.

In the crucial game, neither of them had any chance to play. They could only sit on the bench and watch the team step by step into the abyss, losing to their destined rivals again.

The leaders of the University of Florida are Joakim Noah and Al Horford, especially Joakim Noah, who is very good at defense, and he can't do anything inside.Their head coach Donovan admired his two disciples very much and believed that they would definitely become NBA All-Star players in the future.

Of course, both are currently in the lottery, especially Joakim Noah, who is third behind Oden and Kansas freshman Kevin Durant. .

The University of Florida's starters from last year all chose to stay in school and fight for the next national championship. Just one more win will make them the first team to win two consecutive championships since Duke in 1992.Although many people think that Donovan's coaching this year is very successful, it is still difficult to successfully defend the title.

UCLA was constrained by the tight defense of the University of Florida at the beginning, and when Corey Brewer started to show off and scored two consecutive three-pointers, the University of Florida led 26-16, and UCLA basically had difficulty in the following games. Threat to Buddha University.Brewer's offensive game was impressive, but the University of Florida's players were even more impressive on the defensive end.

UCLA had a fast break opportunity and a few good scoring opportunities, Horford firmly guarding the basket and slapping Afflalo's fast break.It didn't take long for Noah to face an attack from Mu Tie and stood firmly in front of him trying to stop him. He used a fadeaway shot to try to avoid Noah, but Brewer, who was defending on the weak side, easily put the Ball under the cover.

Corey Brewer of the University of Florida scored a game-high 19 points, and Horford grabbed a game-high 17 rebounds. The number of rebounds of the University of Florida was 43 to 26, which was significantly lower than that of UCLA. The twin towers showed their power.

And at Ohio State and Georgetown, Oden was plagued by fouls in the half.

After playing in the second half, Oden quickly ruled the penalty area. Oden, who played only 20 minutes, scored 13 points and 9 rebounds. Roy Hibbert, who played against him, also performed well, but always lacked. A kind of temperament, and Jeff Green, the divisional player of the year in the Big East, can only regret the end of the season.

As soon as the game ended, Jeff Green announced his participation in this year's NBA draft. Immediately, he received olive branches from many NBA teams with his superb physical fitness, and invited him to the team to participate in the trial training.

The final will be held on April 4, with the University of Florida playing against Ohio State University, and Oden playing against the prestigious Twin Towers of the University of Florida.

Greg Oden led Ohio State University all the way to the finals, like a well-directed script, and facing the Twin Towers, it created enough bright spots to attract attention. Many people want to see it. How will the powerful twin towers, Greg Oden, who has been famous for so many years, perform?
And in 07, with so many outstanding players, it is considered to be a very hot draft year.
