NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 15 This guy will become an NBA star in the future!

Wang Chong's mid-range shot was a bit difficult for Okafor. In previous leagues, he had rarely encountered centers with Wang Chong's style.

During this period in early 03, the league was still stuck in the era of interior supremacy. However, any player taller than 2 meters tall would be asked by coaches to hone their skills at the basket instead of shooting from the outside like wimps.

That's right, it's Nowitzki.

The title "soft egg" has accompanied Nowitzki for almost half of his career. It was not until Nowitzki led the team to defeat the Heat's Big Three in 2011 that he was truly recognized by the league and took off the nickname "soft egg".

Deeply influenced by the NBA, the NCAA uses this standard when coaching players, except for some exceptional players who are truly talented.

Before Wang Chong passed through the acquisition system and Durant's template, he had no ability at all in mid- and long-range shooting.

If Wang Chong is alone, then Okafor certainly doesn't need to worry too much and can just go out and defend him.

In terms of dynamic talent, Okafor is much better than Wang Chong, and he is not inferior in speed. He can definitely keep up with Wang Chong, and with the same height and wingspan, Wang Chong's shooting is greatly interfered with. .

But here's the problem. At Marquette University, Wang Chong is not the ace. Their ace is named Dwyane Wade.

Okafor is obviously a player who is more defensive than offensive. Compared with his offensive skills, his contribution on the defensive end is his greatest significance to the team.

In order to defend Wang Chong, he had to follow Wang Chong out of the penalty area. When UConn's inside line was without Okafor's guard, Wade was naturally allowed to wreak havoc.

He doesn't even need any fancy moves. Just relying on his speed and instant super explosive power, Wade can easily break through the defensive players in front of him and go straight to the basket. Facing the empty inside line, scoring is like picking out the bag.

The University of Connecticut was obviously much more afraid of Wade than Wang Chong, a newcomer who suddenly appeared. Therefore, when Wade successfully attacked the basket and scored successfully in several rounds, Okafor stopped leaving the penalty area and defended Wang Chong. was handed over to other players.

But it's not Okafor's defense, and Wang Chong won't have much trouble dealing with it. After all, his current ability value is 65, which belongs to the NBA level. Although it is the lowest level that sits on the bench all year round and doesn't get much playing time. But after all, it is also an NBA level.

Although the University of Connecticut is a seed-level team in the NCAA, its real strength was in 2004. At that time, they not only had No. pick Okafor, but also shooting guard Ben Gordon and eyebrowless hero Charlie Wei. Lanueva.

But in 03, Ben Gordon was just a freshman, not even the team's main shooting guard. Moreover, with a height of 1 meters and a weight of 91 kilograms, Gordon had no way to compete with Wade.

As for the other players, they are all the ones who are really good, but are not worth mentioning in the eyes of NBA scouts and have absolutely no potential that can be tapped.

This is the case for the University of Connecticut forward who switched defenses with Okafor and stared at Wang Chong.

The opponent's height is about 2 meters, and there is a big gap between him and Wang Chong in terms of height and wingspan. He also likes to take off when defending shots, which seems to be a bad habit he learned from his own ace player Okafor.

When Wang Chong faces the opponent's defense, he can easily deceive the opponent by just pretending to shoot. Then he calmly takes back the basketball and dribbles to a safe position to continue shooting.

On the other side, Okafor's experience guarding the basket is not good either.

If a heavy rim-protecting center inside can easily restrict Wade, then he will not be able to become a top star in the NBA and be regarded as Jordan, the third shooting guard in the history of the league after Kobe Bryant.

<divclass="contentadv">Don't mention that he is only a sophomore now. Okafor, who has not yet reached his peak, will face Wade, who is already a junior. Even next year's Okafor will face Wade, who is holding the ball and rushing to the basket. Virtue is not that easy!

Before the first quarter ended, Okafor received two fouls as Wade took turns attacking the basket.

Okafor, who was angry and completely helpless, could only take out his anger on Wang Chong in the paint. Relying on his advantages of tonnage and strength, he arbitrarily knocked away Wang Chong and dunked with both hands. His style of play was like the NCAA version of O'Neal.

Wang Chong was completely beaten by Okafor on the defensive end, but he didn't take it seriously at all, because although the scene looked relatively miserable, in fact if anyone looked at the statistics, they would be surprised to find that Wang Chong's points were no less than Okafor's. .

At the end of the half, Marquette University had established a 15-point lead, which surprised many viewers watching the game.

The University of Connecticut was the 1999 NCAA championship, a traditional powerhouse.

What about Marquette University? This year's top 16 is already their best result in history.

The strength evaluations of the two teams before the game were completely different. Unexpectedly, the game process was completely reversed.

The audience looked confused, but the eyes of the NBA scouts on the sidelines lit up one after another, and the time and frequency of looking at Wang Chong increased significantly.

In the fourth round of the NCAA tournament, more and more scouts have noticed the newcomer from Marquette University.

Even Wade's dazzling light could not completely cover up Wang Chong's brilliance.

Top-notch static talent, accurate mid-range shooting ability, and solid basic skills (65 overall rating), no matter what aspect you look at, Wang Chong has the potential to land in the NBA.

Moreover, Wang Chong, who was born in July 1984, also has a great advantage in age and has great potential!

Further away in the stands, Chinese reporters were already stunned.

As a professional sports reporter who specializes in basketball, although it was only a dozen minutes of the game, he could already see that in terms of personal ability alone, Wang Chong was quite strong. Even if he looked at the entire men's basketball national team, at the same time It is also difficult to find a player with the strength to stabilize Wang Chong in the position.

Even on the outside, the only one who can compare with Wang Chong is the legendary Chinese defender Hu Weidong, who is known as the Jordan of Asia.

There is no doubt that Wang Chong is definitely capable at the NCAA level or even the NBA level.

"Where did this guy come from? As long as he continues to play, he will definitely land in the league with a high pick this year or next year! Become an NBA star!"

Although until now, apart from Wang Chong's name and physical data such as height and wingspan, nothing else is known about him, but Chinese reporters are already prepared to leave a large column section for the other party to introduce him in detail.

While the emotions were surging outside the field, the situation on the field had already become one-sided.

Marquette University's lead was getting bigger and bigger, but the still young and inexperienced University of Connecticut finally lost and was defeated, causing a slight upset in the 16-to-8 game in the championship.
