"Xiao Wei is really confident, but I looked at the latest draft prediction rankings and he is not among the top 60."

Yu Jia looked at Wayne warming up on the court and flipped through the information in his hand.

In the latest draft prediction rankings, David Harrison is ranked 35th, and the Cowboys' highest-ranked Tony Allen is only ranked 38th.

"This is the first game of the new season. Before next summer, the ranking of the draft predictions will definitely change dramatically. Xiaowei may not be in it now, but he may not be in the future. In short, let's watch the game first.

"

Director Zhang didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't know whether Wayne was really hiding his face or was being too arrogant.

Although there has been a lot of coverage about Wayne in the past four warm-up games, rumors that he had defeated Wallace have also been rampant.

But after all, there is no video recording of these.

Therefore, Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia have no way of judging Wayne's strength.

However, what Zhang Weiping is sure of is that the draft prediction ranking cannot fully explain a player's level.

There are many examples of countless five-star rookies who failed in the end. Since Wayne can start in a traditional powerhouse like Oklahoma State, he must have something special about him.

Moreover, it is not difficult for Zhang Weiping to find that Wayne is still very popular with fans here.

Just look around and you can see many fans holding signs cheering for Wayne.

In this arena where strength speaks for itself, it is impossible to have such high popularity without strong enough strength.

Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia were both a little nervous at this time, because they had no idea whether Wayne would make them excited or disappointed.

But this unknown made them feel inexplicably expectant.

At this time, the warm-up time has ended, and the starting players from both sides are all in place on the court, ready to kick off at any time.

Zhang Weiping discovered that Wayne's number on the Cowboys was also No. 11. From this point of view, there are two Chinese players wearing No. 11 in the American basketball world, and they need to pay close attention to them.

When David Harrison of the Buffaloes stands in the center circle, you will find that he is perhaps the player who best fits the name "Buffalo."

That guy looks terrible, and his physique is not on the same level as the others.

Holmes, the starting center of the Cowboys, seemed to become smaller in an instant in front of him.

Not to mention Wayne, Harrison's big arms are as thick as Wayne's legs.

Zhang Weiping took a breath, what did this young man grow up on?

With his figure, even on the CBA court, he would still be considered fat.

"Is this really a college player?" Next to Zhang Weiping, Yu Jia's eyes widened.

Although I know that the NCAA is a high-quality talent pool for the NBA, I am still a little surprised to see a college student grow up like this.

Not only because he is strong, but also because Harrison has a full beard at such a young age...

Isn't this too mature? He must be in his thirties.

"Many NCAA players are actually capable of playing professionally. You see, in recent years, many high school students have entered the NBA directly." Zhang Weiping was sweating for Wayne at this time.

Although Wayne and Harrison do not face each other directly, they are both inside players after all, so they will inevitably bump into each other.

Not sure how Wayne could overcome such a huge size gap.

The referee blew the whistle, and the 2003-04 Big 12 League regular season officially started.

David Harrison, who is 2.13 meters tall, easily won the first offensive ball for the Buffaloes.

Afterwards, Harrison ran towards the frontcourt unhurriedly.

The Buffaloes seemed to be waiting for Harrison to get into position, so they played at an extremely slow pace.

In this era, rigid positional warfare is the mainstream.

Harrison sat inside, and his big piece of meat moved toward the penalty area. Holmes couldn't push it.

Easily, Harrison reached his position and received the pass from his teammate.

Holmes directly chose to defend. Although it was easy for the opponent to turn around and break through, at least he could withstand the impact.

However, Harrison did not go in as hard as people thought. He turned and hooked flexibly and scored the ball easily.

"It's so stable. Not only does he have a good body, he also has very solid low-post offensive skills." Yu Jia couldn't help but applaud along, even though he put himself on Wayne's side.

But Harrison's goal just now was indeed a beautiful goal.

With his size, strength and skills, no wonder Harrison is ranked in the top 40.

"Don't be anxious, take your time. Be steady and don't make mistakes!" Old Sutton began to shout while dancing on the sidelines.

After just one round of the game, Sutton couldn't sit still.

This will not happen in the first four warm-up games.

This is the difference between the regular season and the warm-up match.

Subsequently, Tony Allen swayed his opponent on the right side and bravely broke through the inside line.

His impact is very strong. Generally speaking, as long as Teacher Tony breaks through, it is basically equivalent to a defensive failure.

But this time, Harrison was able to defend the basket in time.

He didn't jump, but raised his arms high and waited for Tony Allen to hit him.

Tony Allen forced a layup against Harrison, but Harrison's weight and strength were too strong, and he was able to withstand the impact.

He is indeed the strongest human shield in the Big 12 League.

On the contrary, Tony Allen was a little overwhelmed, and his movements were completely deformed after the collision.

Although he finally threw the basketball reluctantly, he didn't hit it.

"The offense failed. The Buffaloes' interior defense is indeed very strong!" Doug Gautry, the Cowboys' quarterback commentator, punched the commentator's table.

In the previous four warm-up games, it was impossible for you to see Tony Allen struggling so hard.

"They were very passive from the beginning. The opponent's center is really strong." Yu Jia's palms were sweating when he saw it. The atmosphere at the scene was no worse than that in the NBA.

"This shot was unreasonable. It should have been thrown directly." Coach Zhang couldn't hold back his words anymore.

After completing their defense, the Buffaloes were not in a hurry to counterattack and were still slowly reorganizing.

It seems that the Buffaloes are going to fuck Harrison to death today.

This time, Harrison continued to actively ask for the ball inside.

But Holmes gave Harrison great obstruction, almost in a semi-circular state.

Seeing this situation, the Buffalo point guard gave up the pass and chose to break through the screen.

John Lucas has poor ability to get around screens, which Wayne knew from the past period of confrontation training.

So when he saw the opponent using the cover to break through, Wayne didn't hesitate and switched to defense directly.

But this guy was so fast that he slid right past Wayne like a loach.

"Jason Carter broke through. His speed is really fast!" Gotry sighed. Did the defense fail again?

At this time, Holmes was still struggling with Harrison and had no time to go back to defend. It seemed that this was basically a breakthrough that was bound to score a goal.

Jason Carter thinks so too. He thinks his attack this time is simply awesome!

Step into the free throw line, jump off one foot, hold the basketball high, and flick your wrist slightly.

Carter sent the basketball to the basket and was about to score his first point of the new season.

He was extremely proud at this time. The Cowboys, who had won four consecutive games in the warm-up games, were nothing more than that.

The basketball thrown by Carter flew into the air, and then... suddenly disappeared.

Carter waited for a long time but didn't see the basketball hit the net. He was confused and only heard a burst of fanatical cheers pouring into the court.

After landing, Carter quickly turned around and found that the basketball had fallen into Wayne's hands.

Jason Carter:???

Before the Buffalo players could react, Wayne made a long pass from the backcourt and sent the ball to Graham, who was already actively advancing.

Watching Graham complete a dunk in the empty half, Jason Carter didn't even know what was happening.

He only saw all the Cowboys fans screaming at the top of their lungs, while his teammates opened their mouths in disbelief.

Wayne waved his arms vigorously, and then smiled at Carter, who was only 1.81 meters tall.

"Hey, congratulations buddy, you will definitely be in the top ten for that breakthrough just now."

Ever since the last time he trash-talked Wallace to purposely provoke Wallace, Wayne has fallen in love with the feeling of trash-talking his opponents.

So this time, he did not miss the opportunity to spit out the fragrance.

By the way, you can also let this short guard know that the three-second zone is not a place where you can come whenever you want.

At this time, the big screen at the scene began to play back the scene just now, and Carter realized what he had experienced.

It turned out that after he took advantage of the cover to break through, Wayne did not give up on defense, but pursued him closely.

Although Wayne's light weight puts him at a disadvantage in confrontation, it also gives him a fairly good movement speed for his height.

When Carter took off for a layup, Wayne jumped up almost at the same time, covering Carter from behind.

Then, the most exciting scene came.

Wayne relied on his height and wingspan to catch the basketball Carter threw into the air!

The blocking ability of 75 may not be enough to trigger a risk-taking in the NBA, but it is definitely enough in the NCAA.

Carter looked at the big screen, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

In the stands, Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia were also directly petrified.

"The timing of this shot is so good!"

"No wonder he previously blocked 8 shots in a single game. Wayne's height and wingspan are really outstanding!"

Around them, fans were shouting Wayne's name crazily, and they couldn't help but join the ranks of the fans.

Watching the game live and watching it through the screen are two completely different experiences.

At the scene, any wonderful shot can directly pump out your adrenaline.

On the coaching bench, Eddie Sutton was extremely calm. As a coach, he couldn't be as patronizing as the fans.

In that shot just now, he saw other highlights besides Wayne's block.

"Wayne's long pass from the backcourt is very accurate. He can launch a counterattack directly from the backcourt. Did you see it? He found Joey on the counterattack almost immediately."

"Ah? This..." Sean Sutton scratched his head in embarrassment. He had just been looking at it.

But as Old Sutton said, it is true that the counterattack just now was successful. In addition to the wonderful blocking, the long pass from the backcourt was also excellent.

Old Sutton put his hands together to support his chin. Although Wayne is an unconventional inside man with some flaws, he has too many other bright spots.

Perhaps, he really should give Wayne a higher tactical status and further explore his potential.

maybe......

Can we send him to the NBA?

When the Buffaloes were about to gain momentum, Wayne suppressed his opponent's arrogance with a catch.

If Jason Carter hadn't been black, his face would have been as red as an apple right now.

Being stared at by tens of thousands of eyes on the big screen and humiliated again... Carter was simply embarrassed!

The Chinese striker was more difficult than he thought.

After being caught by Wayne, Carter became much more honest.

He did not continue to work alone. In this round, he obediently passed the ball to his teammates.

Wayne's block has left a deep psychological shadow in the opponent's heart and planted the seeds of fear.

Harrison continued to attack the basket, but this time his short-range jump shot was disappointing.

The Cowboys immediately counterattacked. After John Lucas took the ball across half court, he directly found Wayne who was standing outside the 45° three-point line on the right side.

"I heard that Xiao Wei is very accurate in three-pointers. I see that his positions are always outside the three-point line. I guess it was specially arranged by the coach." As soon as Zhang Weiping finished speaking, Wayne raised his hand to shoot after receiving the basketball.

.

The Buffaloes power forward rushed forward. Before the game started, the coach had told him: "Don't let the Chinese take a shot easily from outside the three-point line."

As a result, when he jumped up to interfere with Wayne's shooting, Wayne took the ball back and dribbled through!

"This!?" The head coach of the Buffaloes was dumbfounded. He thought Wayne was just a simple high-defense fort.

I didn't expect it to be so flexible.

Although Wayne's current ball-handling attributes are not high, that is only relative to the NBA.

Wayne can still complete such a simple breakthrough action.

Seeing this situation, Harrison quickly ran out of the penalty area and prepared to defend Wayne.

Wayne stopped at the free throw line and made a jump shot!

Breaking through with the ball from outside the three-point line and then making a pull-up jump shot? Yu Jia looked at the information about Wayne in his hand.

Yes, he is a power forward. But with this style of play... are you sure he is a power forward?

Harrison jumped up confidently. He had seen Wayne's information and found that this guy was only 2.06 meters tall.

Under his own interference, he will definitely fail.

But when he arrived in front of Wayne, Harrison vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Damn, why do you feel like this guy is about the same height as me?

Moreover, the starting point is so high that it can’t be interfered with at all!

Can it be interfered with? Rasheed Wallace's straight-arm shot is so easy to block.

Seeing Wayne take a jumper against Harrison's defense, Coach Zhang shouted: "This shot is unreasonable."

But as the basketball hit the net, Director Zhang immediately laughed again, "...But we have to play like this!"

4 to 2, the Cowboys' No. 11 reversed the situation of the game!

Harrison looked at Wayne and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

You dare to report 2.06 meters, how shameless!

There are so many traps in the city, I want to go back to the countryside!

Wayne's blocks, assists and goals completely ignited the scene.

His goal is to amaze from the first game to the last game, so this is just a warm-up.

Seeing Wayne score, Sutton immediately made a decision.
Chapter completed!
