Chapter 44: End of the journey

The Trail Blazers can make the playoffs, and the team's core Roy's performance is indispensable. Roy averaged 19 points and 6 assists in 37 minutes per game this season.
But to be reasonable, in the western part of the powerhouse, it is impossible to take the team to this level by scoring only 19 points per game.
The reason for the playoffs, the other two scoring points in the team also contributed.
LaMarcus Aldridge averaged 17.4 points and 7.3 rebounds, and Kevin Durant averaged 18.8 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game!
These three players can average 55.2 points for the team! And they have two sophomores and one is first-year players.
The three are very young, energetic, and full of potential, so people have to think about what they looked like when they grew up.
Of these three, the most efficient is the first-year rookie Kevin Durant!
The shooting rate of 48.7% is even more accurate than that of Aldridge who is an inside player!
The high efficiency of scoring and the team's excellent record make the 2008 best rookie no doubt.
At this time, the well-known Oden Emperor who is about to rule the league is still in the recovery period of the injury, watching other players sweating on the court.
At this time, although there are still many people who argue that the benefits of choosing Oden from the long-term perspective are greater, more and more Blazers fans are beginning to shout.
Time has proved that Wang Xiao's choice is not necessarily wrong, and Durant's potential is much higher than what scouts have seen.
(Regarding the performance of Durant described in this book, I think many people may not agree, but from my point of view, he is absolutely capable and possible to "sex" in the first season. Yi itself is a dual-sports "sex" player. Many times he will give his teammates firepower and assists. Secondly, Aldridge is also an outside player who prefers the outside style. He can effectively open up space. The Blazers Durant may have less shot power than the supersonic, but the offensive efficiency is definitely much stronger than when playing at the supersonic speed. Imagine the Thunder a few years later, scoring three consecutive years. The Durant of the king is surrounded by Westbrook and Harden, and Durant does not really have a lot of time to attack the ball.)
In response to this situation, major media newspapers have conducted many column discussions on "sex", and some people have called Wang Xiao to interview.
In this situation, Wang Xiao often ended the interview with a faint sentence "Time will finally prove who is right".
It's not that he didn't use the media to make a big fuss, but on the one hand, Oden is still only hurting a season. In the eyes of many people, it does not mean that the entire career will be destroyed.
The second aspect is that he has no time to chat with the media.
After the quarter-finals, Harvard has entered the elite quarter-finals, and then they will be in the ncaa semi-finals!
Their opponent in the semifinals is North Carolina.
There is no doubt that this team has a luxury team.
The team not only has Lawson and Hansbrough dual-core inside and outside, but also supplemented by Danny Green, Wayne Ellington and other excellent pitchers.
This is four future nba level players, even Memphis University does not have such a configuration.
Among the four teams in the top four, only the four UCLAs, including Westbrook, Kevin Love, Darren Collison, and Luke Bamot, can be compared with North Carolina on paper. ratio.
After all, the truth is that among the semi-finals, the opponent Wang Xiao most wants to meet is North Carolina.
Although there are four future NBA players, compared to UCL and Kansas University, North Carolina is the weakest.

In another time and space, North Carolina encountered the University of Kansas, and the confrontation between the two teams ended with Kansas 84:66, a victory over North Carolina by 18 points.
Kansas is quite strong this season. Although only Chalmers in the team eventually joined nba, and he can only serve as the task of transporting basketball from the backcourt to the frontcourt in the Heat during the Big Three. The team's overall tactics and cooperation are getting closer to perfection.
Even Memphis, the No. 1 nationwide player, met Kansas and was eventually reversed by Kansas in overtime.
Even so, North Carolina is still a strong opponent for Harvard.
In his shopping with Memphis University, Wang Xiao has used up all his inventory.
Coach prop card, physical recovery "medicine" agent... In the current system, there is nothing except the victory value used for training for the winning reward.
Facing North Carolina, Wang Xiao can only roll up his sleeves and work hard with the players!
This is another difficult and anxious game.
The suspense of the game continued until the last moment, and finally Jeremy Lin broke through to attract the envelope and then passed the ball to Plaine to cast the ball to end the suspense.
77:75, Harvard defeated North Carolina by 2 points and reached the finals!
The next thing Wang Xiao and his team members need to face is the University of Kansas that defeated Ucla.
Everyone is looking forward to whether Harvard can go further and defeat Kansas to win the championship trophy, the situation has changed.
After playing with North Carolina, Harvard defending the gate, Plaine, felt sore on the shoulder of his left arm. After examination, he was identified as a muscle strain and a slight degree of muscle tear.
Obviously, this was injured in the game against North Carolina.
Fortunately, a muscle strain is not a serious injury and will not affect Plains’ career, but unfortunately, due to a slight tear in the muscles, Plain will need to cultivate at least one week to two weeks. So the final against the University of Kansas cannot be participated!
For Harvard, this is undoubtedly a hit!
Although from a clear perspective, Harvard seems to be a team led by Jeremy Lin, in fact, the defensive tactics that the team really relies on require both Jeremy Lin and Plaine to play their best together!
Plaine's injury caused Harvard's entire defensive system to collapse, and the overall strength behind it was even more incomparable than the University of Kansas.
In the final, despite Jeremy Lin's best efforts, he scored 26 points and 15 assists in the double-double, but it was still difficult to prevent Harvard from defeating.
At 83:67, Harvard eventually lost the first ncaa finals in history by 16 points.
At the end of the game, Wang Xiao patted Jeremy Lin's shoulder and comforted softly: "It doesn't matter, life always has to face such failures. What you should do now is not sadness, but keep this sense of humiliation in mind. Win this game once!"
At the same time that Harvard lost to the University of Kansas in the final, Wang Xiao's undefeated myth since the coaching of the Harvard team came to an end. His only defeat came from the finals.
Wang Xiao failed to complete his declaration and won the championship of ncaa.
But this time, none of the media wrote an article to laugh at Wang Xiao's big words.
Harvard has shown too many miracles along the way. If it was not because of Plaine’s injury, Harvard really hoped to defeat Kansas to win the championship. After all, they eliminated the first in the United States in the 8 into 4 game, winning the championship. Popular University of Memphis!
