Chapter 50: Emperor's expedition

(In the last chapter, I saw many friends asking why there is no growth card for Chinese people. Here is an explanation. The main reason is that the time has not yet arrived. It is inevitable to use the growth card to train Chinese people. , But now the protagonist is just a college coach, and he hasn’t mixed up any famous ones. It’s no good for him to use only a few training cards for the Chinese! The growth card can indeed increase the potential of people to the level of stars. However, growth requires a process. The ncaa players are much higher than domestic players. If you use a growth card for the Chinese, you will work very hard. However, your strength is much worse and you need more time to grow.
In short, it is definitely a plot to use a growth card for the Chinese to cultivate strong domestic players and send them to NBA, but it is not now. If written now, many wonderful plots are difficult to unfold. )
Anyone who has watched Harvard's first game at the scene or has watched the video of the game afterwards is silent.
They don’t know how to describe the game, if they have to find an adjective...
asphyxia.
Almost suffocating defense.
Last season, Harvard's defense has been very strong, but compared to this season, that kind of defense is like playing!
There is an extra big man in the Harvard team.
And this big man replaces Plaine last season, guarding Harvard's inside, his defensive ability is much stronger than Plaine!
9 blocks in the game!
Harvard's inside line is like a no-fly zone. Any player who breaks into the inside line can't send the basketball into the basket in front of this big man.
No one knows, where did Harvard find such a monster, some discerning scouts were surprised to find that at this freshman level, directly joining the nba is enough to be regarded as an inside defense by many nba teams. The main force!
Such a player appears in the ncaa field, and is the lowest level Ivy League in the first-level league. It is simply a bullying person who is naked.
More bullying is Harvard's outside.
The outer defense line formed by Jeremy Lin and Plaine is no easier than the inside line. A season of exercise has made the two people's defensive style more sophisticated.
With Dunne inside, Jeremy Lin with Lin, and Harvard with just one game, all teams in the Ivy League have lost their fighting spirit.
In the few games that followed, Harvard ended the game with no suspense, even the opponents did not have a few points that could exceed 60 points in the game, and even a team with 70 points was not!
And when Harvard's invincible division swept all the Ivy League teams without suspense, the new season of nba08-09 also began.
For this season, nba football fans have many, many expectations.
For example, can the Rose selected as the No. 1 pick the Bulls lead the Bulls to revive Jordan's glorious era.
For example, this season, the Trail Blazers (Roy, Durant, Aldridge) can show what level.
As another example, what kind of strong performance will the great Emperor Oden finally return to announce the coming of his time...
Well, people soon saw it.
On October 28, Supersonics has been renamed the Thunder after the opener.
Oden made his debut under the spotlight, but the emperor, who is about to rule the league, still seems to be uncomfortable.
In the opening 4 of 0, he sprained his foot in a rebound and was forced to have a long leg. In the 15 minutes of the game, he scored 0 points, 5 rebounds, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls.
Immediately following, the post-match inspection report showed that Oden, who had sprained his ankle, needed two weeks of rest.
The "fans" of the ball were ignorant.
What the is this?
Fortunately, this injury only requires two weeks of rest, not another season.
As a result, the fans of the ball waited for two weeks in anticipation, and Emperor Oden once again took the lead.
This time, Oden was not injured again, but also hit the first point of his career.
Then, throughout the game, Oden played 16 minutes and scored 3 points and 2 rebounds...
auzw.com Ball fans: "?????"
Unlike the big kills imagined by football fans, Oden seems completely unable to adapt to the game, and each game is plagued by fouls.
It wasn't until mid-November that he finally played a 20+10 highlight performance, which was accompanied by a high number of fouls with 5 fouls, and the team lost as usual.
Throughout November, Oden averaged only about 20 minutes per game, averaging 8 points and 7 rebounds per game. It is not low in terms of efficiency alone. If it is extended to 30 minutes to 35 minutes, this data will be 14 points and 12 rebounds.
But at the same time, the extremely high fouls of 4.5 fouls per game cannot be completely ignored.
This is not the same as what people think of conquering NBA!
The contrast is Durant's performance in November.
26 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2 assists!
At the beginning of the new season, Durant gave people a huge surprise!
He became stronger!
At the same time as COSCO's shooting became more stable, Durant's ball breakthrough became even more lethal than Roy.
The huge height difference and the speed not inferior to the guard make him the most difficult point to defend on the court!
In just one season, Durant averaged more shots per game than Aldridge, more than Roy, and led the team with 18 shots per game!
Durant averaged 26 points per game, Roy averaged 21 points per game, Aldridge averaged 18 points per game, and the three players averaged 65 points per game!
The entire Trail Blazers, led by San Shao, is currently ranked second in the West, second only to Kobe’s Los Angeles Lakers.
Such a fantastic start, but Kevin, the general manager of the Blazers, felt like a needle every day.
He always felt that the team boss Paul Allen looked at him obediently, giving him a kind of "hair" creepy feeling.
Especially when the news of Oden's defeat in a game came, Kevin became more and more panicked.
Everyone knows that the Blazers can achieve the current results, and who is the real credit!
And that person's name will now appear in everyone's ears from time to time.
Wang Xiao!
He led the Harvard in the ncaa league is already the invincible division of gods and gods!
Facts have proved that Wang Xiao has real materials, and his vision is probably better than many people.
And his ability is not just about looking at people.
Kevin has also watched a video of Harvard's game. He has to admit that Harvard's defense is very strong, very strong, and it is difficult to imagine that this is a team that even bottomed in the Ivy League a year ago.
In fact, Kevin felt that he was wrong, and the decision to open Wang Xiao was decided by the boss Paul himself. This pot is not with him!
However, as the team owner, one of the richest people in the world, Paul will not consider these issues.
He is an investor, not a professional basketball player.
At that time, including Kevin, all the management of the team told him that Oden was the hope of the Blazers' revival. With Oden, the Trail Blazers will soon win the championship trophy.
Only one young man said that Oden would not work and should choose Durant.
So now the question is coming, why are you a group of good players, but not as good as others?
Although this is only the second season of Oden and Durant, it is far from time to evaluate the value of the two.
But whoever enjoys the superiority of the Trailblazers' second record in the West, will they forget the reason why the team can get to this position?
It’s a very reasonable saying that you don’t forget to dig wells.
