I am Really an Insider

Chapter 26 026: The market soars

Wayne became popular in Russia. Of course, after Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia returned to China with a lot of reports, Wayne also gained some popularity in China at this time.

Since the main channels of news dissemination are newspapers and television, it is naturally impossible for Wayne's news to spread rapidly in China in a short period of time.

However, some die-hard fans who always pay attention to basketball consulting still got to know this Chinese student currently playing in the NCAA through the articles of Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia.

"In the college basketball arena, he is undoubtedly an admirable star. He has many fans, and he is used by the coaches as a tactical core. He is almost recognized as one of the best players in the State of Oregon."

Zhang Weiping praised Wayne fiercely in the article, using almost all the compliments.

After reading this report, Ma just wanted to ask: "Who recognized it?"

Although the scope of information dissemination is still relatively small, it is a good start.

Because it turns out that there are still some fans who are willing to pay attention to Chinese players playing in the NCAA.

What's more, Zhang Weiping wrote such a sentence at the end of the report.

"If Wayne can continue to perform like this, then by 2004, he will have a high probability of being selected by an NBA team in the draft."

What the NCAA is, many Chinese fans at this time do not understand.

But when it comes to the NBA, everyone knows what's going on.

As long as there are Chinese players involved in the NBA, there is no need to worry about attention.

Of course, with the bigger stage and spotlight, people will be more demanding of Wayne.

Now if he misses one of those games, he's labeled a flash in the pan.

The greater the fame, the greater the pressure and criticism.

In fact, when the "Oklahoma Post" published the headline "Russian Twins", many media were waiting for the Cowboys to overturn.

Because in the eyes of the media in many other places, the "Oklahoma Post" is completely giving money to its players.

Russian double? How dare you label yourself like that just after winning one game?

Generally speaking, the teams that can be labeled similarly in the NCAA are extremely powerful teams.

For example, in the early 1990s, the team consisting of Webber, Juwan Howard, Jaylen Rose, Ray Jackson and Jimmy King, which represented the NCAA's glorious symbol, was known as the Michigan Five Tigers.

Another example is this year, Duke, composed of Luol Deng, Chris Duhon, Sheldon Williams and J.J. Redick, is affectionately known as the Duke Four.

The most famous combination this year undoubtedly belongs to the "Illinois Three Musketeers" composed of Deron Williams, Dee Brown and Luther Hyde.

They and the University of Connecticut are considered to be the two most powerful contenders for this year's NCAA tournament championship.

Compared with these familiar combinations, the "Russian Shuang Shao" is somewhat less popular.

After all, Tony Allen and Wayne were neither stars nor high school geniuses before this season.

Also, people don't think the Cowboys have what it takes to make it to the end of March Madness.

Therefore, many reporters outside of Russia kept their eyes on Wayne and Tony Allen.

As long as they lose, they will be greeted with countless cynicism.

Again, a bigger spotlight and stage also means more demanding requirements.

But what is surprising is that throughout the next November, the Cowboys had an undefeated record of 10 wins and 0 losses!

Facing various challengers in the Big 12 league, the Cowboys showed a perfect performance in the first month!

And among them, 8 games were big victories with a difference of more than double digits!

The Cowboys' dominance in the Big 12 has been proven.

Wayne and Mr. Tony have also become the two best performers of the Cowboys in these 10 games without any suspense.

After the first 10 games of the new season, Tony Allen averaged 22.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists and an astonishing 2.3 steals per game!

His defensive ability is impressive. When mentioning Tony Allen, countless media said: "He is now able to defend NBA-level athletes!"

Teacher Tony's predicted draft pick also came to the top three in the second round.

In the draft report, besides his organizational ability being questioned, Mr. Tony's shortcoming was his age that was mentioned the most.

Many people think that he doesn't have much potential to develop, that's why the pick is so low.

If it weren't for this factor, Tony Allen estimated that he would be able to enter the lottery in minutes.

Wayne's average data in the past 10 games is naturally not bad. He can score 20.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 3.2 blocks.

A pretty versatile stat!

His average number of blocks per game ranks first in the Big 12 league, and he is currently the league's block leader, and he has 1.3 more blocks than the second-placed Harrison.

Wayne has now become the nightmare of every Big 12 player. Anyone who enters the penalty area guarded by him must be prepared to be humiliated.

Now every time Wayne completes the block, the fans in the Gallagher-Elba Arena will shout the Chinese word "cover hot pot".

Since the word "cover hot pot" and the word "block" in English have three sounds, the fans shouted it very smoothly.

Wayne doesn't know where these old beauties learned this word, but every time the audience shouts like this, Wayne feels a sense of accomplishment.

This even became the exclusive home call of the Cowboys.

With his excellent performance during this period, Wayne was elected the player of the month in the first month of the Big 12 League.

And as many people predicted, he successfully entered the draft prediction list!

In the latest ranking list, Wayne is in the middle and early stages of the second round.

Although it is only the second round, it is not easy for a sophomore player to go from unknown to the list.

And the reason why Wayne is only ranked in the second round for the time being is also reasonable from the current point of view.

First, it is believed that Wayne is still playing too few games at a high level.

Because he is considered to be a player who broke out suddenly this season, some people worry that Wayne's breakout will not last.

Second, Wayne's body makes people worry that he can't adapt to the intensity of NBA-level competition.

As the most talented player in China at present, it took Yao Ming a lot of time and overcame many difficulties to adapt to the intensity of the NBA game, let alone Wayne.

And the last point is also the key point-people are afraid that Wayne's omnipotence will become omnipotent after entering the NBA, and they are worried that Wayne's dubious style of play will be completely lost in the NBA.

There are two kinds of players in the draft that can be called black holes, all-around players who are not three, no four, and combo guards who can't do both.

Wayne might look like the former.

As the third position, Wayne is too slow by NBA standards, and his ability to hold the ball is too poor.

As the fourth position, the body is too thin.

Therefore, in the NCAA, it is not easy to enter the first round with just a few stats.

If you carefully study the second-round picks or even the undrafted picks every year, you will find that among this group of people, there are not a few with gorgeous college data.

But the NBA's selection from the NCAA is by no means as simple as simply looking at who has better statistics.

If Wayne can directly enter the lottery with only 10 games, it would look down on those other talented players too.

What's more, there are still high school geniuses competing with Wayne and the others.

However, at the end of Wayne's report, there is a special note: "Wayne still has a lot of room to float upwards. He is likely to be the player with the biggest change in the final ranking in this list. As long as he can With continuous output in the game, we may really see Wei's name in the first round."

Looking at his evaluation in the draft predictions, Wayne is quite satisfied with the results achieved during this period.

After 10 games, they have reached the middle and early stages of the second round. Will the goal of entering the first round be far away?

"Man of Steel" badge and A-level lottery package, quickly add to the backpack!

Although only ranked in the second round in the NBA draft predictions, in the NCAA, Wayne and Mr. Tony have undoubtedly proved that Eye is one of the top combinations.

Those media who want to see the "Russian Twins" turn over are very depressed now.

Because in ESPN's latest strength rankings, the Cowboys with 10 wins and 0 losses were ranked eighth in the United States!

They are also the highest ranked of any team in the Big 12.

Being able to stand out from the top eight among hundreds of schools, you can imagine how exaggerated this is.

If it weren't for the fact that the Big 12 league itself is considered to be slightly less competitive, the Cowboys' entry into the top five would not be a problem.

Sutton was delighted to see the power ranking, the highest ranking the Cowboys have ever had on record.

Even when the Cowboys reached the Final Four of March Madness in 1995, they never ranked this high.

But having said that, such a ranking does not necessarily mean that the Cowboys will be able to complete their goal of reaching the Sweet Sixteen this year.

Because the schools ranked ahead of the Cowboys all have quite terrifying strengths.

North Carolina, Wake Forest, Duke Of course, how can we forget the University of Connecticut and the University of Illinois currently leading the rankings.

UConn has No. 1 candidate Emeka Okafor and another No. 1 candidate Ben Gordon this season, so we can see how strong they are.

The University of Illinois has their "Three Musketeers" who are equally talented.

In the tournament, the Cowboys will face a challenge once they meet any team ahead of them in the rankings.

Although a team only needs to play six games from the start to the championship in March Madness, those six games are the real test and the matchup with the highest gold content

The current 10 wins and 0 losses are nothing at all.

The teams that can rank in the top ten in the country are basically teams that lost 0 in their respective leagues this month.

The old Sutton closed the documents in his hand, and did not continue to be intoxicated by the current achievements.

Because next, there is a real test waiting for his cowboys.

On December 2, the Cowboys' first game in December, they will face the strongest opponent in the Big 12 league this season at home, the defending champion University of Texas Longhorns.

This game is also considered to be a preview of the Big 12 finals.

The Cowboys ranked No. 8 in the country this season is already such a sensation, and the Longhorns were No. 2 in the country last season!

So far this season, the Longhorns are 9-1. Facts have proved that even if T.J. Ford is gone, they still have a strong dominance.

This opponent, Sutton has been waiting for a long time!

It's time to take the dominance of the league away from the defending champion.

Of course, Sutton and fans of both sides are not the only ones who are paying attention to this game.

The eyes from the NBA and the other side of the ocean are all staring at this high-level matchup, all staring at Wayne and Tony Allen

Continue to ask for votes. Yesterday, I received more than 900 votes from the big guys. Let’s try to break 1,000 votes in a single day today. The difference is not much, Lao Ge begged! PS: Let me make a complaint, why do the names of the teams in the Big 12 League have bullshit?
