NBA: Booker’s template, female stars are all power banks

The next day

The news that Smith praised Ye Huan quickly reached the ears of NBA players.

"From the current point of view, Ye is indeed a player with great potential."

After leading his team to win the game that day, Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James said in an interview:

“Data never lies!”

"No matter what the outside world thinks, Ye Huan led Duke University to defeat the University of Oklahoma and Michigan State University in succession. This is a fact!"

Not only James, but Kelly Irving, who scored the highest score in the game and led his team to victory in Boston's North Shore Garden Arena, also expressed the same view.

"Ye, the talent he showed on the offensive end is historic."

As Ye Huan's senior, Kyrie Irving's praise was also unstinting: "Ye Huan is helping Duke University defend its title, which is something I have not done before."

"If conditions permit, I hope to play alongside him in the NBA in the future."

Golden State, Oracle Arena

"If I were a team executive, I would not be stupid enough to select Ye Huan with a high draft pick."

Golden State Warriors player Chasing Green, who also won the game, expressed a different view in an interview:

"Ye Huan only played well in these two games, but we have to know that he is a junior."

"He's been a water cooler guy before this, and it would be a waste to select him with a first-round pick!"

Not only Green, but also the team's core player Durant also participated in this topic: "Yes, I agree with Drummond's words."

"Ye Huan doesn't have the ability to play in the NBA at all. Everything he is doing now is exaggerated by the media."

"And I don't expect Duke to defend its title in this tournament."

Just like Durant said.

After defeating Michigan State, Duke will face the winner of Villanova or Arizona in the finals.

Even Duke supporters are worried about whether the team can defend its title.

the reason is simple.

The University of Arizona and Villanova University both played extremely dominant roles in this year's championship.

The first is the traditional giant-Villanova University.

As the top seed in this tournament, they are recognized as the strongest team.

They have a lineup composed of Brunson, DiVincenzo, Bridges, Paschall and Spellman.

It can be said that they have swept the entire NCAA with their outstanding performance this season. They achieved a luxurious record of 36 wins and 4 losses throughout the season.

And in the "Crazy Three", he led the league in scoring by averaging 17.7 points per game.

Look at their opponent, the University of Arizona, which has reached the finals for the first time in history!

This year, under the leadership of the "top pick" DeAndre Ayton, he almost showed a crushing trend.

They were invincible in the previous knockout games and never fell behind.

As the core of the team, DeAndre Ayton can deliver terrifying statistics of 22.2 points, 12.4 rebounds and 3.4 blocks.

The outstanding performance also made "Big Shark" O'Neal bluntly say: "This young man will break all his records in the future."

Although now Dunbao is the hardest in his body.

But at that time, he was the perfect candidate for the No. 1 pick.

It can be said that no matter who of these two teams advances to the finals, it will put great pressure on Duke University.

Of course, many fans believe that the semifinal between Villanova University and the University of Arizona is the final of this year's NCAA championship.

November 3th, US time

The NCAA first half semifinals continue at Minnesota Bank Stadium.

The performance of "top pick" DeAndre Ayton has become the focus of attention from the sideline media and scouts.

But the course of the game did not go as the fans and media expected before the game.

Ayton has been under constant care from Villanova University from the very beginning, and did not show the strength of a quasi-number one pick.

On the contrary, Villanova University's DiVincenzo's performance dazzled the media and scouts.

This "Warrior Champion" played the best performance of his college career in this semifinal!

DiVincenzo, who scored 24 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, completely defeated Deandre Ayton on both offense and defense!

In the end, with DiVincenzo's superb performance, Villanova University defeated the University of Arizona and advanced to the NCAA finals.

"My college period is over, I will participate in the NBA draft this year!"

After the game, Ayton directly shirks the blame in an interview: "Although the team stopped in the finals, I don't think it was my fault. My teammates didn't give me much support on the court."

"I will train hard in the next time to prepare for the next trial!"

"Also, I will prove in the upcoming draft that I am the best player in this class!"

After saying these words, DeAndre Ayton ended the interview directly, leaving the media with confused faces in the audience.

Looking back on Ayton's entire career, perhaps the 2018 draft was the highlight of his life.

This year, he overcame a series of talented players such as Doncic, Trae Young, Alexander, Jaren Jackson Jr., Michael Porter, Sexton, etc. to become the No. 1 pick in this draft.

Since then, Ayton, who entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick, has never achieved the value of the No. 1 pick, whether in the Suns or the current Trail Blazers.

Although he did not produce outstanding statistics on the court, Ayton off the court contributed many famous quotes that are worthy of being recorded in history.

"I will play O'Neal's dominance!"

"My partnership with Booker will be an ok combination in the new era!"

"There is no need to prove myself, I am a top-paid player, and I will be a top-paid player in the future!"

"I bring dominance, and my name is Dominance Ayton!"

If Ayton's performance on the court is as "hard" as his words off the court, maybe he can really play an O'Neal-level game.
