Chapter 572: Dreams Start Again and Dreams Come True
Curry has long known that his path to the NCAA championship this year has been cut off.
Whether it is pushing him to the ground and having a crazy friction with the University of Washington in the P-10 league or holding down other universities across the country in the NCAA championship, it can be said that he is invincible this year.
According to experts across the country, the last time a team had such a strong dominance in the NCAA dates back to the University of Washington in 2006.
Doesn't the team that can maintain a complete victory in a single NCAA season go back to the University of Washington in 2006?
In 2006, except for the University of Florida, the whole world felt that losing to the University of Washington led by Yes was not a shame. Didn't you see how miserable Coach K and his Duke were in front of the University of Washington?
This year, for most teams in the NCAA, losing is acceptable because of historical dominance.
In this year's NCAA semifinals, the University of Kansas led by Chalmers, Darrell Arthur and Brandon Rush was defeated by 30 points!
This is the NCAA semifinals!
This year is indeed too strong, and Curry has long accepted that he will lose the championship again this year.
However, he never thought that the way to lose the championship was not to be defeated by the strongest team in the finals, but to be defeated by Derrick Rose in the semifinals!
Derrick Rose was a well-known talent in the United States in high school.
After coming to college, Rose was completely different from the other two geniuses Beasley and Mayo.
After coming to the NCAA, Beasley indulged in personal statistics and singles, and the team's victory or defeat seemed to have nothing to do with him.
As for Mayo, this dominant player in high school seemed to have become acclimatized after coming to the NCAA, and he was kicked out by the University of Kansas in the top 32.
The three geniuses were originally evenly matched, but Rose instantly rose to the top with his performance in the NCAA tournament.
How terrifying Rose's performance in the NCAA was. This year, the world said it was the strongest team. After a bloodbath at Kansas, it maintained a complete victory in 33 NCAA games this season!
Such a record is indeed amazing. Afflalo, Westbrook, Jordan Farmar, Kevin Love, Mbah a Moute, Collison... almost everyone is an NCAA champion!
Among them, Afflalo, the leading player, is the number one player in the NCAA. He was a strong man who competed with yes in the p-10 league.
With such a lineup, it is understandable that such a record can be achieved.
However, don't think that there is only one such magical season winning record in the entire NCAA league.
In addition, the team that has won all this season is Memphis led by Rose!
Thirty-three consecutive wins!
That's what Rose, a first-year player, has done at Memphis.
And this record is also the reason why Rose can now widen the gap with Beasley Mayo.
Has the strongest strength in the entire alliance,
So thirty-three consecutive wins is understandable.
But what does Memphis’ roster look like?
There are almost no top NCAA players except Rose.
Perhaps the most well-known player at the University of Memphis besides Rose is Chauncey McGrady, the half-brother of Rockets star McGrady.
Relying on his own efforts, he led a group of second- and even third-rate NCAA players to a complete victory record.
Does this picture look familiar?
This year's team is very similar to the University of Washington in 2006 in terms of dominance.
So this year's Rose's amazing performance in the NCAA definitely looks very similar to Yes in 2006!
As long as Rose leads the University of Memphis to defeat in the subsequent NCAA finals, then this year Rose will have the second greatest individual season in NCAA history!
When Rose led the University of Memphis to the NCAA semifinals, media across the United States were looking forward to Rose's performance in the NCAA.
Compared with Beasley and Mayo, the two super talents who fell in the second round, Rose was the one left until the end. Naturally, all the attention originally scattered on the three geniuses was put on Rose.
What's more, when everyone originally thought that no one in the history of the NCAA could come close to Yes' performance in the NCAA, Rose unexpectedly emerged so quickly.
If yes used his performance in the NCAA in one year to establish his status as one of the top five players in NCAA history, then as long as Rose leads the University of Memphis to win the championship this year, Rose will use one year to establish his status as one of the top ten in NCAA history.
Of course, everyone is looking forward to such a player who comes out of nowhere.
Even Ye Si usually pays attention to this superstar from the University of Memphis.
Although Rose is not as popular in the NCAA this year as he was back then, it is rare in the past ten years.
There is no doubt that Rose is the protagonist of this year's NCAA.
And his apprentice Curry and his 'friend' Afflalo are the two biggest bosses in front of Rose.
As the 'greatest' protagonist in the history of the NCAA, Ye Si knows very well how dangerous it is to be a boss in the NCAA.
Especially when the boss is pushed down by the protagonist, it is even more dangerous and suffocating.
Just imagine for a moment how miserable Redick, the overthrown boss, was back in 2006, when he was there.
Curry is naturally not as miserable as Redick.
Although in the eyes of many people, the two play similar styles and even have similar endings, Curry's character is much better than Redick's.
Redick was voted by CBS as the most hated player in the NCAA for two consecutive years.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it down, no one else is to blame.
However, although Curry is not as miserable as Redick after losing to Rose, that is still relative.
If Redick is the worst NCAA player in the past ten years, then Curry is definitely the second worst.
Last year Curry was kicked out of Georgetown University by Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert in that incredible way.
If Curry still found a reason last year, he was targeted by Georgetown's group of long-handed players.
Well this year, there really is no excuse.
Rose really blasted Curry one-on-one!
Can't even find a reason.
Last year, when Curry led the University of Washington, he was the protagonist. Although he failed in the end, he was still a failed protagonist.
This year, Curry has changed from a failed protagonist to a failed boss. This change is indeed very uncomfortable.
After Rose defeated Curry and the University of Memphis defeated the University of Washington, almost all the headlines in the United States the next day were Curry and Rose standing together, one raising his hands in the air, and the other squatting on the ground and touching the floor of the semifinals. photo.
As for an NBA battle held on the same day, the Suns defeated the Nuggets without causing any disturbance.
This contrasting photo is the front page headline of most media in the United States. You can add any words and contrasts you want to this classic photo.
Talent and mediocrity?
Glory and humiliation?
Legend and background?
…
…
Anyone can post their opinion on this photo.
Curry has now become such a tragic boss who was pushed down, and the whole country is celebrating the victory of the protagonist.
After talking to Curry on the phone, Yes was relieved about Curry's condition.
His apprentice looked weak, but was actually extremely strong.
After two consecutive years of humiliating defeats, with each year getting worse and worse, most people would have collapsed long ago when faced with such a situation.
There are not just one or two players who collapsed due to such a failure in the NCAA.
"Teacher, next year, I don't want to lose any games in the NCAA!"
This is what Curry said to him.
Moreover, after Curry said this to him, he also said this when he was interviewed by the national media.
Of course, all he got was endless ridicule.
"Don't want to lose any NCAA games? Curry has decided to escape!"
"If you can't play an NCAA game, of course you can't lose!"
"This is the funniest, funniest statement I've ever heard!"
…
…
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, anyone who is not a fool can see that what Curry said did not mean to escape.
What Curry means is that he has decided to stay in the NCAA and play for another year.
However, in the current state of Curry's overthrown boss, everything he said and did was wrong.
They won't think that Curry means his dream of starting over again.
What's more, Curry has said some things that cannot be realized before due to his somewhat awkward personality.
In addition, some time ago, almost all media in the United States were laughing at Curry's statement that he would not go to the NBA if he did not win the NCAA championship.
Now these two things can just be linked together in the dark library.
These media outlets are really not lenient at all in their ridicule and slander of Curry.
If you criticize Yes, you will basically be slapped in the face by Yes. Yes's face-slapping ability is too strong.
Maybe if you're having fun now, you'll be liquidated soon.
But for Curry, it is true that there is no need for psychological pressure at all.
How could the University of Washington win the NCAA championship without Joan Brockman?
And according to what Curry said today, this is to win the championship like Yes or Rose or this year. Is this a joke?
"Curry is constantly creating NCAA jokes. He doesn't care about his reputation at all, but he has harmed Master Lorenzo Romar."
"Win next season and win the championship?"
"Master Romar may have the intention to strangle Curry now!"
"If Master Romar really leads Curry, Spencer Hawes, Pondexter, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to win the championship next season, you don't have to fight for Master Romar and K Who is the greater coach? If the University of Washington wins the championship next season, Master Romar’s only competitor is John Wooden!”
After Curry led the University of Washington to lose, he will be overwhelmed by public opinion across the United States in the past two days.
Before the new king of the NCAA came to the throne in 2008, Curry had to be inundated with such public opinion for at least two days.
Since Curry's current mental state is still normal, Ye Si naturally focused on the NBA.
Now all the public opinion in the United States is paying attention to whether Rose can finally overthrow the most powerful boss in the NCAA.
And Leafs and SuperSonics players are paying attention to the current Western Conference rankings.
In the previous two days of games, the Spurs defeated the Rockets and the Suns took revenge on the Nuggets.
These two games have once again changed the rankings of the top seven in the Western Conference.
The Suns now have a 66-8 record, once again surpassing the 65-8 Rockets.
The Lakers also had a record of 60 wins and 14 losses, overtaking the Nuggets, who also had 60 wins and 14 losses, and returned to the fifth position in the Western Conference.
In addition, the SuperSonics are currently third in the Western Conference with 63 wins and 11 losses, the Spurs are fourth in the Western Conference with 62 wins and 12 losses, and the Grizzlies are seventh in the Western Conference with 58 wins and 16 losses.
These two games have made the competition in the Western Conference even more intense.
In particular, the question of whether the seventh place in the Western Conference belongs to the Grizzlies or the Nuggets is now even more intense.
Because after the Nuggets lost to the Suns in an away game on March 31, on April Fool's Day, April 1, the Nuggets immediately returned to home back-to-back to face the Suns again.
If the Nuggets lose this game again, the consequences will be really disastrous for the Nuggets!
If the Nuggets lose again in this home game against the Suns, the Grizzlies will pounce on them at all costs!
Now the ownership of No. 1 in the Western Conference and No. 7 in the Western Conference has reached a white-hot situation. This game between the Suns and the Nuggets will change many, many things.
This game is very important. At Ye Si's home, Ye Si and Wang Han have been staying in front of the TV.
Looking at the Nuggets No. 15 who was roaring crazily on TV, Wang Han's face was full of shock and disbelief.
And Ye Si's eyes were also flashing in surprise.
126 to 120!
The Nuggets, ranked sixth in the Western Conference, defeated the Suns, ranked first in the Western Conference, at home!
On TV, the data of the players of the two teams have been played.
Nash made 11 of 16 shots and had 27 points, 18 assists and 5 fouls.
Stoudemire had 25 points on 9-of-12 shooting, 10 rebounds, 6 turnovers and 6 fouls.
Marion had 14 points, 10 rebounds and 5 fouls on 6-of-12 shooting.
Diaw made 4 of 14 shots, 9 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 6 fouls.
Lagabell made 1 of 6 shots, 3 points and 5 fouls.
The five starting players of the Suns received a total of 27 fouls after one game!
Five of the Suns' starting players were sent off 2 times in one game!
Yeas looked at the Nuggets' technical statistics, not looking at Billups, not Hamilton, nor Nene, Martin Camby and Jr. Smith.
Anthony made 15 of 30 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 24 of 30 free throws, 56 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals, 11 turnovers and 5 fouls...
This is a sign of running out of ammunition and food.
Not only are the Suns running out of ammunition, but the Nuggets are also running out of ammunition.
In this game, the two teams targeted each other to an incredible degree.
In the end, the Nuggets, playing at home, took control of their own destiny.
The Suns, who had just reached the top spot in the Western Conference, once again gave up the top spot to the Rockets.
"It's too, too suffocating..."
"Will all games between the top seven in the Western Conference be of this intensity in the future?"
Wang Han's beautiful face was full of shock.
Ye Si, on the other hand, frowned.
This is the cruelty of the game between the top seven in the Western Conference right now.
From this moment on, every team has no room to lose. From the Rockets and Suns to the Grizzlies, no team dares to lose.
On April 2, 2008, the NCAA finals provided some relief from the brutal situation in the Western Conference's current regular season.
Two teams that had been victorious before finally decided on the highest stage of the NCAA!
In the end, they defeated the University of Memphis 79-78.
Rose made 1 of his final 4 free throws, and Afflalo made the buzzer-beater.
Ross, the ascension to the gods failed.
Afflalo, a dream come true…
