knife point guard

Chapter 40 [Lamb Su Xi Whirlwind]

After the game, Su Xi and Carmelo Anthony stood together. They were surrounded by the New York media, with long guns and short guns pointed at them, and the spotlights kept flashing.

There is no doubt that the two are the brightest stars in New York sports this year.

When Coach Jim passed by, he said loudly, "Treat our twin stars from Syracuse University well."

This is the first time Coach Jim has spoken publicly about the 'Twin Stars' issue.

Before that, he hadn't even mentioned McNabara's name being compared to Carmelo Anthony, which he had promised when recruiting.He assured Carmelo Anthony that Syracuse University is his one-man team, and he is the absolute core.Absolutely don't make any names such as one internal and one external dual core, or golden double guns.

Without these harsh conditions, Cameron may not necessarily join.

But now, Anthony doesn't mind Jim Boham saying such things at all.

Although his potential management team will feel that such publicity will take Anthony's star light away, but... this is Sushiye the lamb!
Shouldn't I praise Jack for everything he's done for me?

Carmelo Anthony took the topic naturally: "Yes, that's right. Jack is my most important partner. Together, we are like Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, just like Batman always has Robin by his side."

Anthony elevated Suzy to 'Pippen' heights.

Then, the reporter asked 'Syracuse Pippen': "Jack, we noticed that since you played in this game, the decline of Syracuse University has quickly stopped. You completed a beautiful defense and performed a surgical operation on Auburn University through offensive skills that have never been shown before. You also scored the highest score of the season. Excuse me, did you deliberately conceal your offensive methods before? Want to give them a surprise attack?"

Su Xi raised her eyebrows.He replied calmly: "I don't need to deliberately hide anything. Before the team didn't need me to attack, I didn't attack. Tonight Gerry was injured accidentally, and Anthony needed an assistant, so I did the work."

This answer surprised the media.

This sentence shows that Su Xi is a perfect team player, and he doesn't care about his statistics.

Whether in the minds of the media or those potential NBA scouts, it is a great plus.

Because the NBA needs not only shining superstars, but also team players who work hard and do the dirty work.

Suzy showed that potential.

This is a plus for potential draft picks.

Many of the NCAA's amazing talents have no room for development in the NBA, and they leave in despair because they can't do the dirty work.

The media then asked Carmelo Anthony some questions, most importantly some NBA questions.The New York media asked Carmelo Anthony if he would like to keep his talent in New York.

Anthony was doing Tai Chi with a smile on his face.

Anthony's smile is contagious and his popularity is very high.

However, when he stood with Su Xi.Women are still more willing to look at Su Xi more, after all, cuteness is worthless in front of absolute handsomeness.

After about 10 minutes, CBS threw the question to Su Xi.

He asked a continuation question: "Jack, after this game, do you think Auburn University has talent? Do they excite you? Also, your next opponent will be the No. 12 University of Oklahoma in the BIG-1. What new expectations do you have for them? Do you think they can prevent you from entering the Final Four?"

"Of course Auburn University has a lot of talented players, but if you mean a talented player like Cameron. My answer is no."

Su Xi said very simply.And raised Anthony's hand.

This made Anthony smile knowingly.

"Oklahoma is said to be better than Oklahoma State, and I'm looking forward to playing them."

Su Xi answered calmly.

Compared with his previous interviews, there are no new breaking points.

At this time, an Asian face stood up, and he asked the last question: "Jack, I am a reporter from "Sports Illustrated", I would like to ask you, you are performing better and better now, will you choose to bring your talent to the NBA?"

Su Xi said: "I will not bring my talent to the NBA, I will go to the NBA to activate my talent. I am a person who is strong when I meet the strong. To be honest, there is really no genius in the NCAA that can activate my talent."

Su Xi said this very sincerely.

But this sentence is the finishing touch to the media.

After waiting for so long, they finally got Su Xi's words.

When Su Xi returned to the hotel, he saw the post-match interview screen of the local New York TV station reporting the game.He saw his conversations being edited.

"...(Are there any talented players at Auburn University?), if you mean a talented player like Cameron, my answer is no..."

"Honestly, there really isn't anything in the NCAA that inspires my talent."

"I will not bring my talent to the NBA, I will go to the NBA to activate my talent."

"I am a person who is strong when he meets the strong."

When Su Xi saw that his interview was edited like this, he felt that he was a rebellious person.

"Jack, these media reports can easily make you a target." Carmelo Anthony said worriedly.

"It doesn't matter." Su Xi replied calmly: "This is what I want to see."

Carmelo Anthony maintained respect for Su Xi's strong mentality. He asked himself, if he was entertained by the media like this, he would definitely go berserk.

...

Two days later, the Final Four game between Syracuse University and the University of Oklahoma was held at Madison Gardens.

In this game, three NBA superstars attended to watch, namely Shaq O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan.

Sharks and Duncan are the top two superstars in the league today. Since Jordan retired, the two of them have monopolized the championship.

Kobe Bryant is Peter Pan highly praised by the league. Although he is sometimes lower than Iverson, sometimes lower than Carter, and sometimes lower than McGrady in the popularity ranking of the four major shooting guards... But he has always been the second child, and he is very stable.Everyone thinks that he will become the boss of the four shooting guards next, because he is as young as McGrady, and he is harder and more durable.

The arrival of these three at Madison Gardens raised the enthusiasm of the fans.

These three took very different positions, but after the game, they all praised the same person: Su Xi the lamb.

Duncan said: "Thank you for defeating Auburn University and helping my alma mater get revenge."

Kobe said: "There is only one person here that I remember deeply, and that is Suzy the lamb."

O'Neal said: "He is a bit like me at the No. 1 position, knocking away opponents with strength, and scoring basketball with flexible limbs. I like him."

Three people praising one person at the same time is the biggest highlight of this game.

Because, this game...is very boring, although it decides the final four of the national competition.

The University of Oklahoma did not pose the slightest threat to Syracuse University. From the very beginning, the combination of Suzy and Anthony formed a strong fire suppression.Suzy and Anthony's offensive output is more complementary, McNabara's injury makes Carmelo Anthony more comfortable on the wing, because Suzy helps him sweep the penalty area.

Although the University of Oklahoma's three-back combination of Price, Aire, and Kwastwhite has been extremely lethal in past games.However, Su Xi and Anthony didn't give them any room to fight back, and they kept getting beaten.

As Su Xi said on TV, these mediocre NCAA elite guards have been unable to bring Su Xi a talent fusion speed, and naturally they cannot bring Su Xi a substantial threat.

Su Xi frequently entered the inside line in this game. He used his strength to break through the defense, and then stretched his body with excellent flexibility to score the basketball.

There's nothing Oklahoma can do about it.

The same thing they were helpless happened on the flanks. Carmelo Anthony's physical fitness and technical skills made their defense useless.

Plus Hakeem, a quasi-NBA-level master.

It took only halftime to wipe out Oklahoma's semi-final ambitions.

卡梅隆安东尼在这场比赛拿到31分6篮板3助攻1封盖1抢断。

Su Xi scored 21 points, 10 assists, 2 rebounds and 2 steals.

Su Xi scored a historic 21 points in a single game, and what is even more amazing is 10 assists.

Although 6 of them were assists to Carmelo Anthony.

But NCAA assist data is harder to come by than NBA assist data.

The point guard who can win 20+10 in the quarterfinals is only 19 years old, and he has been famous for less than 3 months.

This is the material that the media loves the most, not to mention that Su Xi has said so many wild words in the media before.

With only the final four remaining in the fierce national competition, media resources were quickly concentrated.Thanks to Su Xi's 'media attributes', he quickly became the most concerned star before the start of the semi-finals.

The fuse that ignited the huge public opinion was "Sports Illustrated". This media with a high status in the basketball field, especially in the college basketball field, made a special report. Although they did not interview Su Xi, they described Su Xi's crazy deeds during this period.

Under their delicate and true brushstrokes, this is a thrilling and epic counterattack story.

2003 was not yet the age of the Internet.

The power of paper media is extremely strong, and the vertical penetration is also extremely high.

This detailed report caused a whirlwind of 'Susie the Lamb' in American college basketball.

At the same time, the NBA inevitably paid attention to Su Xi.

Su Xi became famous overnight in the true sense.

Rising like a comet, he became one of the most famous stars of the 2003 class.

This caught many people by surprise.

Including Suzy herself.
