The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

"Hi, I'm a scout for the Chicago Bulls. Welcome to Chicago."

"Hi Zuo Li, you are so cool tonight. I am Jaeger, a scout from Memphis. Are you interested in visiting us?"

"Your style suits Wade, come to Miami, the beaches here are the best."

"Although it's cold here, the scenery of the snow-capped mountains is good. We can also help you find a house at the foot of the mountain to see the snow-capped mountains at any time. How about it? The Minnesota Timberwolves welcome you to try out."

This is the scene that happened around Zuo Li after attending the press conference. The teams that got high picks in the league counted one by one, approached Zuo Li to shake hands, and gave various business cards.

In the draft, it’s all about being willing, especially for a rookie like Zuo Li who has long been famous in the United States, has many fans, and his strength is obvious to all. It is even more about a win-win situation. Otherwise, he will leave tonight. , Everyone's face is not good-looking, and it is not conducive to the development of the team and individuals.

So a rookie at Zuo Li's level is very popular on the eve of the draft.

Zuo Li responded politely, but did not make promises. He just said that he would not consider these things before the NCAA game ended.

Zuo Li will make the final decision after discussing with Rich Paul and visiting each team about the draft, but in Zuo Li's heart, he has already made a rough choice.

First of all, of course, it is better to go to a weak team, preferably one without an absolute core in the team, and the team's record in recent seasons has been poor.

No matter how good the rough jade is, it needs to be polished. This sentence is also applicable to rookies. The tragedy of Milicic reminds us that sometimes it is useless to go to a strong team in the draft, but it will miss the best growth time.

Look at Milicic's treatment in the Pistons. He really doesn't give playing time. He is expected to grow for a few minutes in each game. Coupled with the pressure from the outside world and the attention of the fans, he finally succeeded in crushing him. Become a proper role player by now.

Look at James, Anthony, Boss and Wade in the same period. Their teams undoubtedly regard them as the absolute core of team building, with unlimited firepower and the absolute core of tactics. Look at Durant in Seattle also the same.

They may not lead the team to achieve any results in the first season, but wretched development is the best result for a rookie.

Therefore, Zuo Li doesn't think much about a big brother like the Heat, but looking at the No. [-] pick and the current situation of the team, the Bulls are indeed the best choice now.

But don't worry, it's still early, Zuo Li's attention is still on the next opponent.

Although leading Davidson College, which has never achieved such results, all the way to the final four has proved his strength, but he will not stop there. Whether it is internally or externally, Zuo Li has repeatedly emphasized that they will work hard to go further

After all, who wouldn't want to go to the finals.

However, this time, unlike the previous ones where the approval ratings were often [-]-[-], and at most [-]-[-], Davidson almost won a one-sided approval rating.

"Yes, almost no one is optimistic that we can advance. ESPN asked 16 people to predict that we will lose, and there are two predictions that we will lose by at least 15 points or more."

"Damn it, I won't watch ESPN anymore." Curry, who returned to the hotel after a day of training, gritted his teeth while looking at the predictions in the newspaper.

Starting from the semi-finals of the NCAA, the standard for selecting a stadium is 3 yuan, because the stadium is too small to meet the requirements of the audience.

In fact, for a long time, the NCAA semifinals, semifinals and finals have been temporarily transformed from the home of professional football or professional baseball teams.

The venue for this game was set at ATamp;T Stadium in Texas, the fourth largest American football stadium in the United States.

This is a stadium with 10 people. Two semifinals and one final will be played here. You must know that the NBA has never used such a large venue, which is enough to see how attractive the NCAA Final Four is.

Some people may say, should we be so exaggerated.

Take a look at the data.

The tickets for this time have already been sold out, the average ticket price is as high as 838 US dollars, and the highest ticket price exceeds 2 US dollars. The total ticket revenue is expected to exceed last year's 1.235 million US dollars.

During the CBS live broadcast of the event, the advertising price per 30 seconds starts at 120 million U.S. dollars, and the event is expected to bring a total revenue of 3 million U.S. dollars to the host city.

The brand value of the event is 1.5 million US dollars, and it ranks much higher than the NBA Finals in the Forbes "Most Brand Value Ranking of Global Sports Events"...

Although the charm of the NCAA men's basketball Final Four is far from being described by the simple and boring numbers mentioned above, we can get a glimpse of the NCAA's gold-absorbing magic.

Take this time as an example, in the area of ​​the game, from fan parties of various names to a three-day free music carnival, from quiz games with rich prizes to relaxed and enjoyable basketball skills challenges, and from NCAA’s efforts to give back to the society From youth training camps to highly specialized NABA symposiums…

The NCAA has turned it into a three-day carnival.

In this way, fans can go to the city to participate in various carnival parties in the business district in their spare time while enjoying the game.According to incomplete statistics, in the past three years, the annual NCAA Final Four can bring more than 10 out-of-town visitors to the host area and a total income of 3 million US dollars.

This is the unique charm of the NCAA Final Four.

On April 4st, the Davidson players set off to the competition venue, where they will conduct targeted training for a few days, and their opponents in the semifinals are well-known all over the world, and they can be called the number one favorite to win this competition. Whether it is the division or the knockout game, North Carolina, which has won the season!

This season, their team is luxurious. Of course, Kansas has a balanced strength, but in the eyes of the outside world, North Carolina has a more balanced strength and more shining stars.

They have Lawson and Hansbrough's dual-core inside and outside, supplemented by Danny Green, Wayne Ellington and other outstanding pitchers.

64强中大胜圣玛丽丝39分，北卡全场投篮命中率达60.6%，篮板以46：16完胜，15人中有14人有得分进账。汉斯布鲁和劳森双双拿下21分。

The top 32 beat Arkansas with 31 points, Hansbrough with 20 points, Ellington with 17 points and Lawson with 19 points.

All four also scored in double figures in the Sweet 16 victory over Washington State.

In the Elite 8, Hansbrough scored 28 points and 13 rebounds. With such data, it is no wonder that he can be as famous as Jordan, Carter and others in the history of the North Carolina team.

In that game, Ellington, Danny Green, and Ty Lawson also scored in double figures, and Lawson added 9 assists.

Along the way in the knockout round, in four games, four players in the team averaged double figures per game, two of them scored 20 points, shot 56.6% from the field, and won 21 points per game...undefeated this season.

So it is not surprising that others have such one-sided predictions.

"Calm down, isn't this normal? The president is their fan, let alone other people. As long as we know it, we don't need to argue with outsiders. We can speak with our strength." Zuo Li remained calm: "Being a dragon slayer, Wouldn't it be better?"
