The University of Kansas defeated Marquette University 95:61.
The 34-point difference made the University of Texas less embarrassing yesterday.
Wade was interviewed after the game and announced bluntly: I will participate in this year's NBA draft.
It's an open secret.
Wade has been on a very strong charge this year. Without Su Xi, he would be the biggest dark horse in the NCAA this season. He single-handedly led the team to the semi-finals. In the quarterfinals when they eliminated the top-seeded University of Kentucky, they even got a super triple-double. This was the fourth time in the history of the NCAA national competition.
And, with this being Wade's third college season, there's no reason why he shouldn't be in the draft.
Speaking of which, Wade is also quite unlucky. His performance in high school was eye-catching, but his cultural classes were so poor that only two universities gave him scholarships, and Marquette was one of them. When he arrived at Marquette University, he was unable to play in his first season due to NCAA Bill 48: in layman's terms, his academic performance was too poor and he was not allowed to play.
All went to study in the first year. With great difficulty, he managed to pass the exam in the second year, but failed to enter the national competition and his draft market was not high. This year, he was out of control, leading Marquette to a record-breaking run and entering the National Final Four.
At this time, he is considered the third super perimeter rookie after LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.
Although Hinrich is more famous than him in the NCAA, from all aspects of comprehensive conditions, Wade's draft price is higher than Hinrich, even if Hinrich wins.
Wade ends the season and can declare for the NBA draft.
Hinrich cannot yet.
He and Collison were interviewed at the same time. They were Kansas' super inside and outside combination. They were called the white people's last hope. He is very popular in the NCAA and attracts much attention.
The reporter deliberately talked to them about Suxi's interview during the halftime break, embellished it, and also talked about Suxi's evaluation of the last game.
Reporters try to make some big news.
But both Hinrich and Collison, both seniors, are calm. They know how to deal with reporters.
"I've heard about Suzy the Lamb. He's very good. He's strong, soft, and explosive...I like his game. He's really a player who can swing in multiple positions." Hinrich was not fooled. Even praised Su Xi.
Collison also added: "He thinks they will win, and I think we will win, which is very normal. We all make the final sprint for victory with our own glorious will. I believe the final will be a game that will go down in history." "
“Kansas will be the biggest winner!”
Both of them have high emotional intelligence.
This interview adds points to them. NBA managers all like emotionally stable players, especially this kind of high-quality white players: a team needs superstars with distinctive personalities and locker room glue with stable temperaments.
…
After Su Xi returned to the hotel from the arena, he met Huang Xiaoman, who had come all the way there after a long journey.
She introduced Su Xi to the rest of the interview. "This is an interview team specially sent by CCTV from China. They will do a special interview with basketball figures for you during prime time on the sports channel. I contacted them three days ago. They are very interested in you."
Su Xi sincerely admired Huang Xiaoman's work ability. He said: "Xiaoman, you are simply my good wife! How did you do it? I heard that it is difficult to make appointments with domestic media."
Poof!
Huang Xiaoman smiled, she smiled very happily. She said: "It seems that your Chinese level needs to be improved. A good wife is not used here."
"Isn't it used here?" Su Xi asked: "How should it be described? Super helper? Invincible butler?"
"Hahaha." Huang Xiaoman laughed heartily. Su Xi's Mandarin has a strong American accent. He came to the United States when he was 9 years old, and his grandfather died unexpectedly when he was 12 years old. After he was there, he rarely spoke Chinese with others. His pronunciation pattern They all have an American tone.
"It's not impossible to use it here. But you can't say that in front of others. Otherwise, they will say that we run a mom-and-pop shop and it's unprofessional." Huang Xiaoman said.
"Mom-and-pop shop? Do you sell husband-and-wife lung slices? Why are mom-and-pop shops so unprofessional?" Su Xi asked sincerely.
"Okay, Jack, you have too many questions. Before I completely bring your sense of language back to Chinese mode, try to speak as little Mandarin as possible." Huang Xiaoman interrupted him with a smile. "But you must speak Mandarin in tomorrow's interview. Because you have to let the domestic audience know that you are with them."
Su Xi said: "I am originally Chinese. I went to the embassy to register when I was 18 years old. I do not have American citizenship."
"That's great." Huang Xiaoman said.
Then, they entered the hotel together.
Su Xi was a little nervous at first, saying she was worried about tomorrow's game. But later on, I gave it half-heartedly and said it was just once, just once.
He came out of Huang Xiaoman's room at four o'clock in the morning.
Or did Huang Xiaoman expel him feebly: In Chinese, does once mean always?
well!
Su Xi was in high spirits and even wanted to exercise for a while. His ability to restore blood was not only used on the court.
"I don't know where my limit is, but this is already Xiaoman's limit."
He said softly to himself: "I didn't expect to be so happy. No wonder Anthony and McNabara like to do impart so much."
Su Xi had a smile on her face, which was what an 18-year-old and 311-day-old boy should have.
Moreover, his super flexibility talent has also been improved this time, and he can unlock more postures.
His super flexibility talent has been integrated to 94%, which is only one step away from 95%. According to the elf's talent ranking, if it reaches 95%, it can be called a true super talent field. 90%-94% is still the top talent category.
Su Xi didn't expect that among the four super talents she had acquired, she was actually super flexible and came from behind.
Or will women integrate.
…
At 8:30 a.m. the next day, Su Xi and Huang Xiaoman met the CCTV camera crew who came for the interview in the hotel's rented conference room.
Su Xi greeted them warmly: "Thank you for your hard work coming from afar. Thank you for the interview, my place is full of glory..."
Huang Xiaoman pinched his waist gently, biting his back molars and reminding him: "Pengpi is radiant."
The people in the interview team were very surprised. They did not care about Su Xi's elementary school illiteracy level. Instead, they were surprised that Su Xi could speak Mandarin. The information they had previously received was that Su Xi was a Chinese-American who grew up in the United States.
Su Xi chatted with the reporter in Mandarin for a while before turning on the phone. Generally speaking, Su Xi's expression was clear. Although there were occasional typos and wrong words, the flaws were not concealed.
After all the camera equipment is ready.
The reporter said to the camera: "With Yao Ming entering the NBA as the No. 1 pick last year, the domestic audience has become more and more familiar with the NBA. However, what everyone doesn't know is that in the United States, there is another basketball game that is more popular than the NBA. League, NCAA college league. Most NBA players come from college leagues. Today, the protagonist we invite is the superstar of Syracuse University in the NCAA league, Su Xi! Below, please watch an introductory video."
When the host said this, he paused.
Later the director will edit a video to introduce it.
Then, the host sang the words on the spot.
"In the introductory video just now, we saw that Su Xi is the first Asian player in the history of the NCAA to reach the NCAA finals. He is the core of Syracuse University's backcourt, and he performed exceptionally well in the process of passing through. . So Su Xi, what was the opportunity for you to join the Syracuse University basketball team? We have not found any relevant information."
As soon as the reporter asked this question.
Su Xi was very sincere. He said: "First of all, let me correct you. I am not only the first Asian, but also the first Chinese. The reason why I joined Syracuse University was through the back door. My high school classmate Reggie Wei James is Mr. Basketball in New Jersey and a super five-star player. The condition for him to accept recruitment from Syracuse University is that I also receive a scholarship. The school has no choice but to give me this spot."
Su Xi said sincerely to the camera.
His thoughts are indeed somewhat Westernized. In the United States, backdoor access is openly talked about, and there are even people who do it.
Huang Xiaoman, who was outside the camera, waved vigorously to signal him not to say that.
But Su Xi thought she was cheering him on, and even winked at Huang Xiaoman outside the camera.
The reporter who appeared on camera looked embarrassed. He took the back door and said that in China... no one would bring it up on the stage.
He didn't even know how to answer the call.
Let the leader decide how to edit it after it is harvested.
After a long silence, he continued to ask: "Su Xi, in the American media, we often see them describing you as a genius terminator. During this period, you defeated talented American players along the way. How do you feel? You Is there a very exciting feeling that you represent Asians? After all, Asians have always been at a disadvantage in American basketball."
This question is almost an open-book exam.
At the beginning of the century, China had just emerged from a state of poverty and weakness. It was in great need of encouragement, and its spirit needed to be boosted in all aspects.
"No." Su Xi was honest as always. He said: "I don't think about these aspects. I just enjoy competing against talented players. They can stimulate me and make me stronger. Although, I will hear some discrimination against my skin color on the court. , but as long as I focus on doing my own thing and keep getting stronger, they will disappear without a trace like a lame duck."
This answer is not a stereotyped answer, but it gives people a refreshing feeling.
"Now, you lead your team to the finals. Many American media predict that you will be selected as a lottery pick in this year's draft. You will become the first Asian guard to enter the NBA as a lottery pick. What do you think of these predictions? "How are you feeling now? Have you ever imagined what it would be like to join the NBA?" the reporter then asked.
"I am now preparing to participate in the draft, but the most important thing is to prepare for the finals. I don't want to get second place. For me, second place is the biggest loser."
"It doesn't matter to me how I enter the NBA. What matters is whether I can accelerate my growth after I go to the NBA."
"I have imagined the scene after joining the NBA, and they are all beautiful imaginations. I won't say it here, because it will seem less modest."
Su Xi expressed herself very sincerely in Chinese. His wonderful sense of language and Chinese brought a very different feeling to the reporter, and he frequently used wise words. The filming team believed that this interview would cause a sensation in the country.
Then, the reporter asked some questions about the game.
Su Xi answered one by one.
Finally, the reporter asked: "Have you ever thought about when to go to China? Also, have you ever considered joining the Chinese team and becoming teammates with Yao Ming."
"It's back to China, not going to China." Su Xi corrected. "I have been waiting for an opportunity to take my grandfather's ashes back to my hometown for burial. If nothing happens, it will be this summer, the first summer of my adult life, and I finally have time."
"Before you ask, I haven't thought about becoming teammates with Yao Ming. But from this moment on, it will become one of my future plans."
Su Xi said.
The reporter was very happy with Su Xi's answer.
He stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you very much for accepting my interview. Congratulations on your victory in the finals and winning first place."
Su Xi said: "Thank you."
Then, he asked: "Where is the flag? How to open it?"
Hahahahaha!
There was hearty laughter at the scene.
This was a really interesting interview.
Even Huang Xiaoman laughed. She was sure that Su Xi would have to improve her Chinese vocabulary next.
This does not mean that if he goes to a restaurant and can speak Kung Pao Chicken skillfully, he has no problem with the language.
Su Xi's first one-on-one TV interview came to an end.
What is foreseeable is that after this program is broadcast, it will set off a frenzy in China.
Su Xi is indeed an interesting person, and he is very strong.
Chinese fans all dream about a Chinese guard stepping onto the NBA stage.
Now, Suzy is here.
