Okafor's funny expression did not anger Roy, but annoyed McGinnis.
He pointed at Okafor on TV and said anxiously:
"Roy, we all know your ability. If you have the opportunity to meet Connecticut in the future, you must teach that bastard a lesson!"
Roy patted McGinnis on the shoulder: "I promise you, next time I meet him, I will beat that kid!"
After watching the group draw and drinking a bowl of Roche chicken soup, the teammates who were going home took the initiative to ask the coach to continue the afternoon training program.
Old coach Claire looked meaningfully at Roy as he led everyone out of the locker room.
For the first time in his long career, he felt that this young man from China was more interesting than he had imagined.
Just now, he was also trapped in the situation and even pessimistic about the team.
It was this kid's words that made him wake up.
The maturity of this young man far exceeded his expectations.
Maybe this year, this young man from China will bring special surprises to USC and even the entire NCAA league!
Thinking of this, Claire was inexplicably looking forward to it.
…
The basketball court of the University of Arizona was bustling with people.
USC is adapting to the venue and doing some simple warm-ups.
As the designated venue for the Phoenix Division, USC will face Syracuse University from afar here.
Phoenix is surrounded by deserts. The University of Arizona is located in Phoenix, which has a typical desert climate, dry and hot during the day and cold at night.
USC's game was scheduled at 8:00.
Everyone was joking with the active players during the warm-up before the game.
The sidelines were already surrounded by media, mainly to interview the defending champions.
Although Anthony Anthony went to the NBA, everyone was too impressed by the team's performance last year, and everyone was still looking forward to the team's performance.
A small number of media mostly came from Los Angeles, and they focused on USC. As the dark horse at the end of this season, Roy, who performed well, was the main interview target of this group of people.
When they had some time to drink water, several media gathered around.
Everyone was very interested, especially what Okafor said.
The media were looking forward to Roy's response.
Roy drank a few sips of water, shook his head, clearly refused the interview, and went back to warm up.
McInnis, who had been observing for a long time, seized this opportunity. Every time Roy was interviewed alone, he was envious, but unfortunately no media had ever approached him.
Seeing that Roy had no interest in being interviewed, McInnis squeezed over.
In order to interview Roy, everyone naturally did some research on the composition of the players on this USC team.
They all knew Chuck McInnis, who looked funny in front of them, more or less.
If it doesn't work, interview him. It can be used as a backup draft. It's better than nothing.
Sean, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, handed over the microphone first.
"Chuck, what do you think of Okafor's comments on Roy during the draw on 'Decision Sunday'?"
McInnis, who was interviewed for the first time, felt a little nervous when he picked up the microphone.
As a person who likes to be around people, he quickly adjusted his mentality:
"Roy is a guy with amazing talent. He has improved USC's strength by two levels. Without him, we wouldn't be here now.
He is our super player. Just wait and see. He will become the nightmare of the entire NCAA.
Roy once said that if he met Connecticut, he would teach that kid a lesson!"
Sean smiled with satisfaction as he spoke shockingly.
This guy has a future and knows what the media wants to hear.
"So as the dark horse at the end of the season, what is your goal this year?"
"You may not know me. In fact, I don't care about the championship. I play for this team. Okafor provoked my teammates, and I will never stand by...ah"
McInnis, who was still bragging to the media, was dragged into the court by Roy.
"Roy, I haven't finished yet. This is the first time I have been interviewed in my life. I will call home to tell my mother to buy this newspaper in the evening. I will cut up the press release about my interview and take it back to my grandmother when I am on vacation!"
Unable to bear McGinnis's chattering, Roy decisively covered his mouth,
"Shut up, don't you see that the game is about to start, and everyone is waiting for you!"
Sure enough, the whole audience was very quiet, and they were all watching McGinnis perform the big and small king.
McInnis didn't dare to say a word and hurried back to his position.
Syracuse University lost Anthony, but several veterans of the team are still there, and the strength is still good.
The current star player is Hakeem Warrick, who later played for the Grizzlies, a typical jumping man, but his work is rough.
Another is that McNamara later played for the European giant Olympiacos, and once had a record of 9 three-pointers in a single NCAA game and scored 43 points.
Syracuse University is generally average in strength, with no particularly outstanding players and no shortcomings, but the result is mediocrity.
In recent games, Roy has a high success rate in arranging jump balls. The opposing center is only 2.08 meters tall, and Roy easily passed the ball to his own point guard.
After halftime, Roy started the singles mode. Warrick was too light to form an effective defense against Roy at the waist position, and Roy scored 4 consecutive waist singles.
The opening became Roy's personal show, waist face jump shot, back turn jump shot, back small hook, relying on footwork to shake Warrick and go in for a direct dunk,
The confident Warrick was directly dunked by Roy in the first 5 minutes I played introverted,
On the offensive end, Warrick had no independent offensive ability, his hands were too rough, and although he had amazing jumping ability, he was too easily restrained by a zone-defending player like Roy,
After tasting two blocks, Warrick could only shoot from the outside,
Later, he trained in the NBA for several years but still couldn't develop a stable mid-range shot, not to mention him now,
The shooting percentage was really touching,
The defense couldn't defend, and the offense couldn't make a shot. McGinnis felt that this man's embarrassed look looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Then Syracuse University adjusted its tactics and changed the team's center to defend Roy.
Roy liked this kind of slow pace the most, and played without the ball with the team's point guard.
Various counter-runs and inside and outside shots made Syracuse University's center exhausted.
As a last resort, Syracuse University changed to double-team Roy, and then Roy happily brushed assists.
The game started with a one-sided trend.
Tonight, Syracuse University's sharpshooter McNamara also lost his former magic.
A big defeat, 92 to 72, the defending champion suffered a Waterloo and was eliminated in the first round.
Roy contributed in three quarters: 27 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, and 4 blocks.
The first triple-double in his college career was achieved.
The miracle of USC continues!
After the game, the old coach Claire couldn't help but sigh, "Roy is the most special player I have ever met. I see amazing leadership in him. I think he is far from his limit now!" Hakim Warrick, who was frustrated, also accepted the interview: "For Roy's performance tonight, I can only say that we have no way. Roy deserves all the applause." Warrick realized at this moment that it is not easy to be the boss. Brother Gua, I miss you in your first season away... After the game, McGinnis, who was the most excited, found Sean, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, on the sidelines and tactfully said that he could continue the interview just now. As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. This guy likes exposure very much. He also talked about what the media likes to hear. You can try to consider forming a strategic partnership. Because Sean was attracted by Roy tonight, he planned to make a series to report on USC's NCAA journey. Roy's amazing performance made him firmly believe that this team should go a long way. Sure enough, when Sean asked McGinnis about Roy's performance tonight, the guy sighed:
"I have to put some words here today. I always believe that he will become a superstar. He plays in another dimension. I don't think the NCAA can trap him for too long!"
The words revealed amazing information. Sean was reminded by him and had a vague premonition about Roy's future.
What Sean didn't know was that his temporary decision resulted in witnessing a legend!
