After dealing with the press conference, Lian Dao went to the locker room and sat down on the bench!
And around him, all the players were almost paralyzed on the bench!
It's so tiring, if it wasn't for Lian Dao who had to attend the press conference, he would have just turned it down!
But it's impossible for him not to attend the press conference.
Lian Dao scored the highest score in the game: 41 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists and a quasi-triple double!
He made 11 of 17 three-pointers.
Not only did Lian Dao get the highest score in the game, but most of the scores of the University of Southern California had the shadow of Lian Dao!
After returning to the hotel, a little celebration broke into the top eight of the national elite!
Tim didn't hold back on the little celebrations, which was a way to release the stress too!
But Tim still reminded the team members at the end of the party that if they want to go further, they still need to calm down, don't be proud, they haven't reached the top yet!
The next day, they packed up and left.
The next game is not at the Hubert Humphrey Dome in Minneapolis, Minnesota, they are moving!
Moreover, their opponents for the next game have come out!
Louisville Cardinals!
They beat the Kansas State Jayhawks in an 8-of-16 game.
The Jayhawks didn't hold onto their advantage at the end of the game. They had more starting freshmen than USC. There were four freshmen in total. Their inexperience was exposed at the last moment!
At the last moment, they were beaten 9:0 by the Louisville Cardinals, and the Louisville Cardinals also completed a headwind comeback!
And the USC Trojans play 8-for-4 against the Louisville Cardinals at: Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana!
…
Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace watched Lian Dao's game video, and his heart was very hot.
He has been watching Lian Dao since the preseason match, all the way to the top 8 in the country. He is well aware of this player's progress!
That is simply the transformation from a role player to an all-around core player!
He saw from Lian Dao: potential and talent!
But Hashim Thabeet of the University of Connecticut also made him very fond of it, and he really didn't know which player to choose!
Mark Iavaroni's performance in leading the team this season is really bad. This summer they not only have to prepare for the team's reconstruction, but also choose a suitable head coach as the team's helmsman!
The Los Angeles Clippers and the Washington Wizards both set their sights on Lian Dao. The first choice of the Los Angeles Clippers is Griffin. Compared with Lian Dao, they still appreciate White Warcraft.
If Griffin is selected by other teams before this, then they are willing to use Lian Dao as the second choice!
Compared with the Los Angeles Clippers, the general manager of the Washington Wizards, Ernie Grunfeld, is very optimistic about Lian Dao. The Wizards have been like this this season.
In fact, the Wizards have always had two voices, one is to rebuild through the draft, and the other is to rebuild through transactions.
The reconstruction of the draft takes a long time to rebuild, and the uncertainty of the quality of the draft makes some members of the management more repulsed.
The reconstruction of the transaction is the most supportive voice of the management, but the current Wizards do not have many bargaining chips to trade.
They can only hope that they can catch a few big fish this summer.
And there seem to be many big fish in the free market this year: Boozer, Odom, Turkoglu, Ben Gordon, Kidd, Marion, Rasheed Wallace...
But whether these big fish are willing to go to the Wizards is hard to say.
Regardless of the two reconstruction methods, for the current Wizards, choosing Lian Dao is a hugely profitable decision.
Even if it is a trade reconstruction, after Lian Dao is selected, he can trade with some teams!
The NBA draft is not short of all-or-nothing teams!

Los Angeles, TNT Building headquarters.
A basketball show "NBA Insider" hosted by Big Mouth Barkley and Kenny Smith.
The program is mainly to share some interesting facts about the NBA, as well as the state and life of private players, which are things that fans don't know.
There are a lot of interesting show effects that come out of this show.
The most famous one belonged to the "Barkley lost a bet to kiss the donkey's **** incident" at that time!
This program is very popular with the audience. The main reason is that he is not as boring as usual when commenting on the game. There are some humorous jokes and some real events interspersed in it.
This not only makes the audience very happy, but also satisfies the curiosity of some audiences.
This has brought some basketball idols who are usually far away from me and myself invisible a lot closer.
Another example is the relapse of McGrady's injury, Yao Ming led the team with a single core, and the record is still good!
But after Barkley finished analyzing these things, Kenny Smith mentioned an interesting thing!
"Sickle led USC to the top eight in the country once again after 8 years!"
Kenny Smith's words are an introduction, just to attract Lian Dao!
This year, the most popular college students include Griffin, James Harden, Hashem Thabeet, and Lian Dao who came from behind!
James Harden's Arizona Sun Devils have been eliminated by Syracuse University, there is not much to say.
Now only Griffin's Oklahoma Clippers, Hashem Thabeet's University of Connecticut and Lian Dao's University of Southern California have advanced to the Elite Eight!
Compared with the Oklahoma Clippers and the University of Connecticut, Southern California's promotion is the most thrilling!
Also the most interesting!
"Oh, sickle, that guy with a good three-point shot, he's a bit like the little guy from Davidson College!"
Barkley looked at Kenny Smith looking at himself in disbelief.
"I mean the three-point ability of two people!"
From the conversation between the two, it is not difficult to see that these two people are also concerned about the NCAA game.
"Yes, the three-pointers of both of them are very accurate!"
Kenny Smith thought about it, and it was indeed the case. The kid with a baby face from Davidson College was also very accurate in three-pointers.
And both of them love to shoot long-range three-pointers!
My partner is really careful in observation!
"But, that's not what I'm talking about, it's their 3-second win against Michigan State!"
Barkley nodded. He also watched the game. He was also surprised by Lian Dao's ultra-long-range lore in the last three seconds.
Because of this kind of ball, even in the NBA, there are very few.
"It's very interesting. This guy obviously has the physique of an inside player, but he likes to shoot from the outside."
"His strength should be used to dominate the inside line. That's the real man's battlefield. A tall and powerful man who shoots from the outside line is a softie!"
"His shooting style will definitely decline due to defense in the NBA. I am not very optimistic about his NBA prospects!"
Barkley showed his habit of talking loudly again. He saw Lian Dao's three-pointers at the beginning of the NCAA league game. At that time, he felt that this was an ordinary player who was short-lived.
I didn't expect this kid to improve so fast, but Lian Dao's playing style doesn't make Barkley like it very much!
He is a player who grew up in the naked defensive environment of the NBA. He especially likes the scoring method full of strength and skill inside.
"Oh, do you want to make another bet?" Kenny Smith, seeing that Barkley was so pessimistic about Lian Dao, dug his way towards his old partner.
"What bet?"
"Just bet on whether Lian Dao can score more than 25 points in a single game after entering the NBA. How about it? If you lose, you'll be a donkey's ass!" Kenny Smith looked at his old partner with a smile.
Barkley shivered when he heard the **** of the donkey. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
He hasn't forgotten the consequences of betting because of a Chinese last time, and he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes because of another Chinese.
Although, he said before that he was not optimistic about Lian Dao, a large part of the reason was that he disliked a tall man who was keen on outside shooting, but he still recognized Lian Dao's talent!
If Kenny agrees to this, he will basically lose!
"Actually, I think this kid is quite **** sometimes."
"Look, that "death dunk" against the Siena Saints was brilliant!"
This is Barkley rushing to make up for what he said before.
"Death buckle?" Kenny Smith was a little puzzled.
"Isn't it? Devin Ubilles was taken to the hospital, it is said that he suffered from rib fractures and a moderate concussion!"
Barkley was most interested in these. When he saw Lian Dao's heavy dunk, he jumped up excitedly.
"But, don't you think highly of him?" Kenny Smith understood what his partner meant.
"I just feel that he is a waste of talent at the 3rd position. He should revive the glory of the traditional insider!"
Barkley blushed a little, but still emphasized.
"Then you don't dare to gamble anymore?" Kenny Smith continued aggressively.
"Hey, Kenny, there's gambling on TV, and you're trying to spoil the kids. We're on a regular show, and we don't advocate gambling."
Barkley saw Kenny Smith holding on to him, so he stalked him righteously!
Kenny Smith looked at Barkley with a smile. He also changed the subject and didn't care about this matter.
The two have worked together for so long, and they both know when to give each other a step!
