Chapter 21 Super Oriental Dragon
Xie Kai continued to browse the news. There was a lot of news about the NCAA championship finals on the Internet, and of course there was also a lot of news about the draft.
Since the end of this year's NCAA championship finals, it has been called a drama comparable to Hollywood by the media. The plot has ups and downs and the ending is unexpected.
In this regard, the title of "i lian she" is "Kainshay's magical performance helped Kansas win its first national championship since 1988."
The headline on ESN was "Inaccurate free throws cost Memphis national championship."
CBS's title is "Unforgettable Memories."
The title of the official NCAA website is "Super Eastern Dragons".
Xie Kai thinks that the imagination of media people is really good, especially the title of the NCAA - "Super Eastern Dragon", haha, it is obviously him Xie Kai! In his impression, Americans are always straight-forward in their thinking.
Will use this kind of implicit nouns with special meanings.
However, there are also disparaging remarks about him on the Internet. One reporter wrote an article saying that Xie Kai was "unlucky," while others said that he was "bluffing every game for a lifetime."
Seeing these comments, Xie couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. He wanted to prove himself and wanted to let these people who looked down on him know that his ideas were wrong.
Regarding the news about the draft, many are predictions, such as who is most likely to be the No. 1 pick! Who are the players in the lottery? How many talents will not participate in the draft! And so on.
However, one piece of news has been confirmed to be true. This news is about the popular player in this year's draft, freshman Eric Gordon from Indiana University.
According to ESN, Eric Gordon has announced that he will participate in the NBA draft in June this year.
Gordon's performance this season is remarkable. He ranked first in the scoring list with an average of 209 points per game, and also set a freshman record of 669 points. In addition, his 231 free throws in a single season ranked first on the team.
He ranked third in the history of free throws made in a single season, and he also tied Mike Woodson's record of scoring more than 30 points {3 times}. These achievements also allowed him to beat many talents and be named the Rookie of the Year.
Although Gordon suffered a wrist injury in January, and although his Indiana University was eliminated by Arkansas in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, it is difficult to really affect his draft prospects. According to the mock draft, he has never fallen.
He has been in the top 10, and some experts even predict that he may become the top 5 or even the third overall pick (Ross Beasley is the top 2).
A large part of whether Gordon is in the top 10 or top 5 depends on whether other talents participate in the draft. As a No. 2 player with outstanding scoring ability, except for the talented first-year guard OJ Mayo of the University of Southern California, there is no one in the draft.
The potential No. 2 pick can compete with him in the draft.
Xie Kai pays special attention to the No. 2 player who may participate in the draft. Of course, he knows that his draft pick cannot be compared with Gordon or Mayo, but he can also play the No. 2 position.
It will have a great impact on your draft prospects.
For Xie Kai, North Carolina's Danny Green and Wayne Ellington, and Western Kentucky University's Courtney Lee will be his most direct competitors.
Not only did Xie Kai see the news of Gordon announcing his participation in the draft, but some of his teammates also saw it. Chalmers exclaimed as if he had discovered a new world: "Eric Gordon announced his participation in the draft. It seems that
I’m going to move down one spot!”
Arthur, who was sitting in the row behind him, joked: "Dear Mario, is it possible that you are going to be ranked second? What a pity!"
"Darrell, I said that your kid's ability to satirize people is getting better and better now. Remember to return the canned cod that you stole from me. If I could become the number one pick, I would have participated in the draft last year."
Chalmers said.
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter in the bus. After the NCAA championship finals, the topic of the draft will become the most important topic for the University of Kansas Jayhawks players in the next two months.
The University of Kansas is located in Lawrence, Kansas, USA. It was founded in 1865 and is a school with a century-old history.
The Jayhawks arrived at the University of Kansas on the evening of April 8. School leaders and the mayor of Lawrence welcomed the team that won the NCAA championship finals.
Of course, it was a celebration again, and Xie Kai and others drank a lot of wine. For Xie Kai, the total amount of wine he drank in the two years he joined the University of Kansas Jayhawks was not as much as he drank in the past two days.
Xie Kai laughed at himself in his heart. If this intensity of celebration lasted for a month, it would be difficult for him to pass the trial training of the CBA team, let alone participate in the trial training of the NBA team.
Fortunately, there won't be too many such situations. According to the plan of the mayor of Lawrence, the University of Kansas' championship parade celebration will be held on the morning of April 10.
Xie Kai naturally agrees with this plan. The sooner this celebration is held, the better, so that everyone can focus more on the next draft. Whether it is training or trial training, it requires time and energy, and
Celebration consumes time and energy.
…
On the evening of April 9, Xie Kai appeared downstairs in the student dormitory where Zhou Jing lived.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Jing, wearing casual clothes, appeared in Xie Kai's sight while holding Wang Mengqi's arm and talking.
Wang Mengqi had sharp eyes and was the first to spot Xie Kai standing next to the promotional window. She gently supported Zhou Jing with her elbow, said hello to Xie Kai, and then made an excuse to get out of the way. She is not stupid, she is very polite.
Why do you want to be someone else's light bulb? Otherwise, let alone Xie Kai, he won't buy delicious food for himself in the future. Even Zhou Jing may blame herself for not having the ability to discern prices. Why should she do this kind of thing that is unpalatable to both sides?
Do it stupidly?
Zhou Jing's height reaches 1, but her weight is less than 55kg, and she has a very good figure. Today's slim-fitting casual clothes set off her tall body even more vividly.
When she saw Xie Kai deliberately keeping a straight face, she walked a meter away from him, rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why are you wearing a mask and a hat mysteriously? Why are you doing underground work!"
Xie tilted his head and said, "I am considered a basketball star in this school, so just walking around the campus without any scruples will attract others' attention."
"You are such a stinker. When did you become a star? We ordinary people can't reach the level of big stars!"
"Hey, I heard from Mario that a new Western restaurant opened next to the school tastes very good. I want to try it. There are too few people there. Can you please accompany me?"
"Go quickly, otherwise you may not have a seat!" Zhou Jing urged.
Xie Kai's left arm stretched out slightly, Zhou Jing immediately took it cooperatively, and the two walked side by side outside the school.
Without Zhou Jing seeing it, Xie Kai made a "V" gesture with his right hand behind his back!
