Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 8 Kentucky

When Downs heard what O'Neill said, his face brightened a little: "Hmph, they still know what they are talking about."

Next, O'Neill began to analyze the teams that are likely to enter the final four this year. The first to bear the brunt is the University of Kentucky Wildcats that have won 33 consecutive victories.

O'Neill believes that the University of Kentucky is unstoppable this year, and it is the most powerful gold class after the platinum class.

So far, four starters have been predicted to successfully walk into the small green house, including Karl-Anthony Towns, Caulistan, Devin Booker and Trey Lyles, with fruitful results.

As for Yulis, it is still unclear, and the possibility of the end of the second round is relatively high.

The host took the conversation naturally, and introduced Kentucky's platinum class by the way: In 2010, all the top five generals of the University of Kentucky were selected to the NBA in the first round.

The other four are: 5th pick DeMarcus Cousins, 14th pick Patrick Patterson, 18th pick Eric Bledsoe and 29th pick Daniel Alton.

Back to this year, in O'Neill's words, Coach John Calipari is indeed a crazy "beast tamer". The team trained by him is full of talent and wildness. It is basically rushing to win 40 games.

For O'Neal's exaggerated statement, Barkley then questioned a little bit, that is, the main point guard Ulis's solitary style of play may hurt the team in high-intensity games.

O'Neill dug out the Wildcats' roster from a stack of materials, rummaged through it, and sighed, "No way, the Wildcats have no one available except Julius."

Towns and Lyles looked at each other. They saw Yuan Qingshan's ability just now, but it didn't mean that the outside world knew Yuan Qingshan. From the eyes of the media and scouts, Yuan Qingshan at this time was a marginal member of the Wildcats.

No, they won't even move their eyes to the last row of the roster.

Downs hurriedly found a topic to break the awkward atmosphere, and Lyles agreed empathetically.

The waiter brought the first dish, and Yuan Qingshan casually picked up a piece of broccoli with a knife and fork and put it in his mouth. He didn't feel much, after all, he was completely different from before, and the super evolution system gave him hope!
Towns babbled and said, "I bet the coach will let Xiao Shan play in the next game. What do you think, Trey?"

With his mouth full of noodles, Lyles nodded vigorously.

Yuan Qingshan smiled and gave Tang Si a hammer: "Thank you!"

O'Neal and Barkley are still discussing the point guard of the Kentucky Wildcats. The more they talk, the more they feel that if Kentucky doesn't go far this year, the problem will definitely appear at the No. [-] position.

"Tch!" Devin Booker silently changed the channel.

ESPN Sports Station.

A news broadcast came from the TV: UNC had narrowly lost the season's upstart University of Wisconsin Badgers at the end of the regular season.

"What, North Carolina lost?"

Several people were surprised at the same time. If Kentucky is a giant in the NCAA, then Michael Jordan's alma mater, the University of North Carolina basketball team can definitely be called their rivals. How many media and experts predicted that North Carolina would win the championship. Unexpectedly, as March approached, they unexpectedly lost.

Yuan Qingshan hurriedly put down the knife and fork, North Carolina lost, and still lost to the little-known Wisconsin!This news is really incredible. In the past two months, Coach John has been talking about North Carolina and Duke, always reminding the players that this will be Kentucky's most difficult opponent in March Madness.

A few people have heard about the University of Wisconsin basketball team. They are the dark horses of this season, and they are in the limelight, but it makes no sense that even North Carolina can be blacked out.

"Wisconsin is so strong?" Towns was also surprised and asked.

Caulistan nodded. Unlike Kentucky, which is in the "Southeastern Conference," Wisconsin is in the "Big Ten Conference."

There is no match between the two teams in the regular season, and there has been no actual confrontation. In fact, it is hard to say whether they are strong or not. However, in the past month, the success of this team has indeed been flying around the world, and it has received high praise.

If they can meet, it should be in the final four, which means that the two teams have already won the division championship by then.

"I was kind of looking forward to meeting them," Towns said, staring at a picture of Wisconsin star Kaminsky on TV.

It was a white boy with a lot of hair, his face was a bit long, the corners of his eyes were hanging down, and his eyes were a little dull.

Yuan Qingshan looked at Tang Si's expectant face, and he should have regarded this person as his opponent.

Then their topic revolved around the upcoming March Madness, and they were all full of confidence, including Yuan Qingshan.

"Wait and see my performance!" Yuan Qingshan said in his heart.

In the next two days, the news about the University of Wisconsin Badgers swept across the sky like an explosion. From the moment they defeated North Carolina, they were finally labeled as a strong team.

All of a sudden, this ferocious badger became the prey of the national media again!
Back in the dormitory at night, Downs fell asleep again, Yuan Qingshan leaned on his arm, stared at the ceiling, called up the system panel again and again in his mind to study, looked at the first routine task he had received, and was full of anticipation for the next game.

On Tuesday, the University of Kentucky Wildcats play at home against the University of Missouri Tigers of the Eastern Conference.

Before the game, Coach John made tactical and lineup arrangements. Other players walked into the field to warm up, and Coach John called Yuan Qingshan to his side.

"Yuan Qingshan, Pete flew to Washington to interview for a job. I want you to be the backup point guard tonight. What do you think?"

After the coach finished speaking, his eyes stared at Yuan Qingshan's face like hooks.

If Yuan Qingshan had even the slightest bit of timidity at this time, Coach John would immediately change his mind. A person's body can be exercised and skills can be improved, but self-confidence and competitiveness cannot be cultivated in a short period of time.

"No problem, coach, I can do it, please trust me!"

Yuan Qingshan's answer was concise and to the point, loud and clear.

Coach John nodded in satisfaction, then turned around to look at the field.

Yuan Qingshan silently returned to his usual seat, at the edge of the bench, waiting for the game to start, waiting for himself to play.

The University of Missouri is not a traditional strong team in the major leagues, and it is not even considered an upstream team. It can reach the Sweet 16 this year with the help of an easy schedule.

Kentucky's game attracted tens of thousands of spectators, and the stadium was packed anyway.

beep!
The whistle sounded, and Yuan Qingshan's first game after getting the super evolution system began.

He sat on the bench and watched his teammates get the ball and run to attack.
