Chapter 34 [Issues about the draft]

The Madison Gardens arena is a basketball Mecca, and many players want to make a pilgrimage to it.

New York is the center of American economy and culture, and the arena is uniquely located in the center of Manhattan, the most prosperous city in New York.

Since Jeff Van Gundy led the Knicks to be eliminated in the first round in the 00-01 season, the Knicks lost their place in the playoffs. They no longer have the momentum of the iron-blooded New York gangsters in the 90s. Coach Don Cheney is considered unable to fully control the locker room.

New York fans are the most impatient fans in the world, and the New York media are accomplices: they are like parents who can’t teach their children. Once a child behaves badly, they don’t try to enlighten and encourage them patiently.

The Knicks, on the other hand, showed the aura of a bad boy.

Alan Houston, who got a contract of [-] million yuan, became a bomb in the team's locker room. Another outside core, Sprewell, was worried about this contract, and the team suffered serious internal friction.Alan Houston is a glass man again... All in all, the Knicks are now in a vicious circle.

So, the media focused on college basketball in New York State.

Syracuse University's hurricane this year has been widely reported by the media, and NCAA fans are more loyal than NBA fans.

Bring the Final Eight back to Madison Gardens as Syracuse University breaks into the Sweet Sixteen.Basketball fans all over the state of New York were excited.

A lot of media have put the touting efforts on Syracuse University players. They play the role of "bad parents" and use long reports on Syracuse University to stimulate the Knicks, just like using "other people's children" to suppress their own children.

When Su Xi was training at the Madison Garden Arena, Carmelo Anthony was being interviewed by the media, and a group of media pointed their guns at him.

This is a big scene that Su Xi has never seen.

The New York media praised Carmelo Anthony extremely. They described Anthony as an omnipotent super genius and hoped that he would join the Knicks to play the role of savior.

Su Xi started training on the other side.

He's still working on his man-ball combination, and his 'super flex talent' has been raised to an upper-middle level, giving him greater control over his skills.

Su Xi practiced for half an hour, and he sat on the sidelines to rest.

Carmelo Anthony, who was still being interviewed there, suddenly hooked him: "Hey, Jack. Everyone wants to chat with you."

Su Xi waved and refused.

Cameron ran over and pulled him by force.

"This is Suzy Lamb, our team's starting point guard. Since entering the national competition, he has been the most important engine for the team. He has performed extremely well in the past two elimination games. I think he will become an NBA player soon."

Carmelo Anthony is making publicity for Suzy.

The media is also very curious about Su Xi. Su Xi has played very well in the past two games, and he played an important role in both games.Although the statistics are not as bright as Carmelo Anthony and Hakim.

"Jack, what do you think of tonight's opponent? What do you think is the probability of us entering the quarterfinals?" The "Slam Dunk" reporter was the first to ask.

"It's hard to evaluate them before they play against each other. But the probability of us entering the quarterfinals is [-] percent." Su Xi said.

"Why are you so confident? Auburn University eliminated the No. 2 seed Wake Forest University in the last game." The reporter emphasized: "We are only the No. 3 seed."

Suzy said: "Because I have a way to limit their three cores, Cameron can score without restrictions."

Su Xi said the most arrogant words very calmly.

He gives people an unprecedented sincerity and lawless strength.

This feeling is like your father smoking a cigarette to untie his seven wolves, and calmly calling out your name: Come, I want to talk to you.

Even though you know you're going to be beaten, you can't fight back.

For the first time, a reporter from New York really felt the small shock of Sushi the lamb.

Some reporters even stared at Su Xi with wide eyes, incredible.Carmelo Anthony next to him is very calm, he is used to it.This is Su Xi's usual way of communicating. "You'd better trust him."

"How will you restrict them?" The reporter asked again.

"Let's watch the game. I hope they will stimulate me. I really want to improve." Su Xi still spoke sincerely.

Then, the reporter asked about the NBA.The reporter asked Su Xi: "Cameron said that you will enter the NBA soon. Do you think you have a great chance? Before the start of the National 64 Tournament, your reputation was very small. Do you think that your performance in the last two games can impress the NBA team? Are you ready to announce your participation in the draft?"

"I don't care about these issues now." Su Xi seriously answered the reporter's question: "My grandfather told me when I was very young that sharpening a knife is not a mistake for woodcutters. Now I need to sharpen my hatchet sharper."

"The NCAA game is a sharpening tool for you?" The reporter asked again.

"Some are, some are not." Su Xi replied.

"Which ones aren't?"

"Not answering the question," Suzy said, "will embarrass some teams."

Su Xi's interview was unique, and the reporters all hoped to continue the interview, because Su Xi brought them a new experience. Su Xi was very sincere, but there was arrogance in her sincerity.The media likes to report on this kind of players with personality and characteristics, which can bring more attention.

Su Xi's previous interviews on American Cable TV and CBS have made him a popular NCAA player among reporters.If he enters the NBA in the future, he will definitely get more favor from the media. The NBA media likes to make troubles more than the college media.

Coach Jim called Suzy and Anthony to practice tactics.

"Slam Dunk" magazine ran over and asked Jim a question: "Coach Jim, do you think Jack has a chance to go to the NBA after this season? Cameron said that Jack will become an NBA player soon."

Coach Jim was stunned.

NBA?Jack?
He never thought about Jack going to the NBA, although there have been rumors that Kobe Bryant and Su Xi have been close friends in the past two days, and it seems that they want to lure Jack to the Lakers.

But he thinks the possibility is slim. It is impossible for a championship team like the Lakers to spend a signing index on a rookie. The championship team pays attention to stability. Even if they want to strengthen, they will not pass the draft.Moreover, Su Xi has not really proved himself in the NCAA.

"As far as I know, he has no plans to go to the NBA. He will always stay in the Orange team." Jim Boham replied to reporters.

Afterwards, he walked over to direct the players to practice throughout the game.

He frowned, looking preoccupied.He doesn't want Suzy to go to the draft, he doesn't want McNabara to go to the draft, he doesn't want Hakeem to go to the draft... As a college head coach, he wants as many good cards as possible in his hands.

It's about his grades, it's about his fame, it's about his salary.

If it wasn't because Cameron's talent was so outstanding that he couldn't hold it down at all, he didn't want Anthony to go to the draft. It would be better to play for four years like Duncan.

In the past period of time, he has not stopped talking to Anthony, hoping that Anthony will play in the NCAA for one more year.

However, Carmelo Anthony has plans of his own.He didn't want to miss a year of making money. With his draft price, playing in the NBA for an extra year would cost him millions of dollars.And...The NBA values ​​potential the most. If you play for one more year, the draft price may not necessarily increase, but it will probably decrease...Many examples in the past have shown this point.

That's the irreconcilable divide between many college teams and superstar players.

Therefore, when many super players accept recruitment, they will clearly state that they will only play for one year and will leave at any time.

College basketball can't keep those super talents who are [-]% draft market.

However, they have many ways to deal with McNabara and Hakeem, who are on the same level, between losing and being elected.

As for Su Xi, there are more.
