Chapter 15 Lotto Draft
Lu Qiujian dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and used his strength to squeeze Ed's defense to hang the ball into Patrice's hand. After Patrice received the ball, he immediately made a breakthrough to the left to attract Gaderson and Kyle's defense. Patrice did not attack and passed the ball to the gap left by Kyle. Scott immediately took action after receiving the ball, a perfect Princeton tactical case.
Unfortunately, Scott's shooting power was slightly stronger, and the basketball bounced on the other side of the basket and flew outward. At this time, Patrice and Spencer in the penalty area were blocked by the defensive players. Will stretched out his arms and wanted to take the basketball into his arms with a smile; "Will! Be careful!" Gaderson shouted when he saw the figure leaping up quickly behind Will.
Unfortunately, it was still one step late. Lu Qiujian jumped high and grabbed the rebound and broke inward. Two steps were thrown to the top of the basket. A black shadow jumped up to catch the basketball and smashed it down. Gaderson was rushed to the ground by huge force. Patrice hung for a while before landing on the ground. "It's so beautiful! Lu! Poor Gaderson is almost crying!"
"Do you still think he looks like Stockton?" Coach Thompson clapped and turned to Black and said, "He won't grab the frontcourt rebounds like he did!"
"So far, he has grabbed five frontcourt rebounds, four successes! The only time he failed because of the floor slippery!" Black handed Thompson the statistics, "He can grab rebounds even more than Jason Kidd!"
"And the way he used his power to break through the opponent's defense reminded me of Barron Davis!" Thompson reported another point guard name that is now popular in the NBA.
If it wasn't for avoiding being too scary, Lu Qiujian could control his strength, and now he would not be a problem to play Gaderson by learning Barkley's movements. As for rebounding, as long as you see the attack, Lu Qiujian's mind will quickly determine the strength and arc of this shot, so as to quickly simulate the trajectory of the shooting. If you score a goal or not, if you don't make it, where will the final landing point of the basketball be? Which route is the fastest route to reach the landing point from your own position, how to run to block other players behind you, wait for the data to be analyzed within one percent of a second. In this way, if you can't grab the rebound, Lu Qiujian doesn't have to mess around.
Seeing Lu Qiujian snatching basketball from Ed again using Payton's interception method, Coach Thompson murmured, "I bet that as long as he has this half of his performance in the NCAA, he will definitely be able to enter the draft lottery this year!"
"Wow, will we Princeton have a lottery rookie? But I think he may be higher!" Black wanted to be more confident.
Lotto rookies refer to the top 14 selected rookies in the NBA draft, and they will get more attention. They will have longer playing time and richer financial income. In Princeton’s more than 250 years of history, they have won countless elites such as Nobel Prize, Fields Medal, Pritzker Prize, Pulitzer Prize winner, US President, well-known entrepreneurs, politicians, etc., but no one has yet to enter the top 14 NBA draft. Originally, the Princeton Tigers
The pride of Bill Bradley had this opportunity. Unfortunately, in 1965, he graduated, it was also the last year of the NBA's regional draft. The New York Knicks signed him using the regional draft. But Bradley did not sign with the team quickly because he received the most difficult scholarship in the world - the Rhodes Scholarship, and went to Oxford to study for a year before returning to the New York Knicks to start his career, and won two championships for the New York Knicks.
"This year is a big draft year! I bet half of the league teams are willing to play badly for LeBron James and Cameron Anthony of Syracuse University! Not to mention Bosh and Caman! Don't forget that the point guards usually don't have the advantage in the draft." Thompson was a little conservative, "and now it's just an internal practice game for a bottom NCAA team. I bet even if I play, I can score double-digit points!"
"Come on! You didn't have double digits of playing time in every game back then!" Black mercilessly pierced Thompson's cowhide, "I think it's not just Lü. If Patrice can maintain this state in the official game, maybe a team will sign him at the end of the second round!"
"Then they need to stay in the NCAA field at the end of March!" The NCAA knockout round starts in March every year. Coach Thompson means that they want to be noticed by NBA coaches and managers, and at least they have to enter the quarterfinals.
The practice match was over while talking. Lu Qiujian scored a total of 21 points, thirteen assists and eleventh brother rebounds. He easily achieved a triple-double when he participated in the team practice for the first time. Patrice also scored a double-double with his support of 23 points and thirteen rebounds! He completely beat Gaderson, who was in the main lineup.
"Lu! Crazy debut!" Coach Thompson gave a thumbs up, "But that's not enough. If you want to go further in the NCAA, you still need to strengthen your defense!"
It seems that we have to look for videos of Payton, Jordan, Kidd and others to study the game! The time before was too short, so he only had time to watch some offensive highlights of big-name organization guards. "Okay, coach, I will do it!"
"Do you know? This game reminds me of the finals three months ago! The great Patrice wanted O'Neal torture Mutombo torture poor Gaderson." Until he returned to the dormitory, Patrice bragged all the way, and in his mouth he was like a big shark.
"Yes, Patrice, you are a good guy. The Cavaliers will definitely give up James signing you with the No. 1 pick next year!" Lu Qiujian thought about what questions Professor Goles would ask tomorrow while responding casually.
"Will the Cavaliers win the No. 1 pick?" Patrice's hand holding the key stopped, "How could you guess it was the Cavaliers rather than the Nuggets or the Raptors?"
Well, after accidentally letting go, Lu Qiujian quickly fooled him; when he returned to the dormitory, he found a lot of game videos from Patrice and slowly started watching.
It was not until late at night that he closed the video and picked up his laptop to conceive the paper! He now only needs one or two hours of sleep every day to complete the rest, and a quiet night has become the best time for him to study.
After class the next day, Lu Qiujian came outside Professor Goles' office and knocked on the door, "The door is not closed, please come in!" When he pushed open the door and went in, he saw another familiar face.
I have received a contract message, please collect it, recommend it, please **.
