Hearing this, the reporter on the scene shouted "Wow" and Tim smiled bitterly and shook his head.

It is hard to say whether it can reach the final four, because a winning and losing match system has led to too many strong teams failing every year.

Seeing Tim reacting like this, Li Zhe patted his shoulders and comforted him. He did not think that this was too crazy, because a team with three future NBA core players, DeRozan, Tay Gibson and Vucevic, was already very strong.

In the original history, the Trojan lost to the Spartans by five points. The main reason was that the team's defensive core Ty Gibson was troubled by fouls. The game's data was 3 points, 1 assist and 1 steal and zero rebounds. Even in the final six minutes, he didn't make a single second, causing the Spartans to easily score through pick-and-rolls many times.

There is no need to worry about this now, and Hackett is about to come back, and the lineups of Kansas and Louisville have great flaws, so the fight will inevitably be smooth. In the end, the teams such as Kangda and North Carolina in the semi-finals are really challenging.

The reporters got the news they wanted, the questions became very patterned, and the press conference ended in a blink of an eye.

After the whole team returned to the hotel, Li Zhe visited DeRozan specifically and thanked him for speaking for him.

The two chatted for a long time and talked about some future ideas, such as what they could do after entering the NBA. Li Zhe took the opportunity to tell DeRozan that after he had money, he could buy some Apple stocks as financial management and put them for four years before considering taking action.

Meanwhile, the Trojans' post-match interview began to appear on social networks.

Unlike the previous questions and answers that were all official, DeRozan's "weird" behavior attracted the attention of many fans, and his words were repeatedly mentioned, especially the part about Li Zhe's sluggish performance.

Li Zhe's loyal fans have explained this matter before, and the public opinion trend has also changed. Now DeRozan is a teammate and the core of the team, and more and more fans are changing their minds.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhe's terrifying data with 32 points and 11 assists finally caused a lot of discussion on social networks, just like fans suddenly discovered that a player who was about to lose his game suddenly scored a high score.

The Spartans at Michigan State University are a strong team, and they are also crazy March game with the highest offense and defense intensity representing the NCAA's highest level. The key efficiency is extremely high and only a few free throws are only a few data that can be obtained casually.

About half an hour, the topic of #Jamie Lee's Return of King # Return became a hot topic on Twitter.

"Let's re-examine this point guard from China. I think he is a genius but his physical fitness is poor, so he cannot perform stably, so this situation is like a super god and a super ghost for a while. He is qualified to enter the NBA and cannot serve as the team's core. It is very cost-effective to choose to be the main substitute at around 20."

This tweet received the most likes, and was even reposted by several NBA players, and appeared on ESPN's late-night ball chat program and was used to discuss it for experts.

Most experts agree with this view, saying that the competition for point guards in the United States is too fierce, and many top high school students in the United States have lost the draft. Only talented point guard players such as Iverson and Derek Ross can be selected as lottery players. It is already amazing that Li Zhe can get around 20 picks.

After expert discussion, more fans agreed with this view, but some fans expressed disdain.

"My uncle works in the Los Angeles Lakers. He has received internal information from the management that the Lakers have restarted Jamie Lee's plan and are willing to send future draft picks or important players in exchange for the top ten picks this year."

This view was originally confused by the vast discussion and did not attract much attention. Many fans refuted that the Lakers' confidentiality work could not be so bad, but Magic Johnson praised it. Although it was quickly deleted, the screenshot quickly spread across social networks.

This made fans very confused. The Magician is not a management team, but a Lakers celebrity. He has a good relationship with important figures such as the boss and has shares in the Lakers, making the authenticity difficult to distinguish.

At the end of the discussion, the topic changed to whether it was worthy of the top ten picks if Li Zhe could perform well in the long term.

The text discussion did not come up with obvious results, and finally became a voting statistics. Nearly 8,000 people participated in one hour. 79% of fans thought it was not worth it, 10% of fans thought it was worth it, and 11% of fans thought it was hard to say.

When Li Zhe called Breer and Natasha, he learned about this. The two women were naturally worth the vote. He believed that this kind of vote was useless, but the two women believed that this was a sign of his bad luck, and most fans had begun to accept him again.

Early in the morning of the 22nd, because the sweet 16 match will be held at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indiana, the entire Trojans took a special plane to Minnesota. The distance is not far away, the plane will arrive soon.

Wait until evening, the team gathered together to watch Kansas vs. Dayton.

The game was unsurprising, Kansas won a big victory and would compete with the Trojans for the Elite Eight at the 27th.

The opponent was confirmed and the whole team spontaneously began to study Kansas game video.

The five-day waiting time seems quite long, but fortunately, all kinds of good news are constantly coming.

First, the accompanying team doctor announced that Hackett could return in the game against Kansas, secondly, the USC Alumni Association will organize many alumni to watch and support the team on-site. Finally, the NCAA officially announced that no evidence of Li Zhe's violation was found.

But these are not as good as TMZ's news that Nike intends to sign a sneaker contract with Li Zhe. Nike executives said that this is true, and that Adi and Reebok are also participating in the competition. Trojan players seem to see sports cars leaving the factory.

Under the bombardment of these good news, five days passed in a blink of an eye.

On the night of the 27th, the USC Trojans played against the University of Kansas Jayhawks.

Paul Pierce, Drew Gooden, Nick Collison, Hinrich, Chanmos and other NBA players watched the game on the spot.

After the opening, Kansas doubled Li Zhe in various ways, but because the defender was too slow, it was difficult to limit his running without the ball, resulting in consecutive points being lost. Fortunately, Tayshoen Taylor performed well and the two teams ended the first half with a tie.

By the second half, Hackett completely adapted to the rhythm of the game, and Taylor's breakthrough was no longer sharp, but Kansas still could not limit Li Zhe's scoring through the off-ball run, resulting in a 12-point behind in the last 5 minutes.

After the timeout, the twins Morris brothers stood up and scored 6 points in a row through breakthroughs and forced a suspense to the game. But in a blink of an eye, Li Zhe joined forces with DeRozan to shoot and grab, and directly scored the game 9-0 in a 9-0 move.

In the end, the Trojans defeated the Jayhawks 74-62 and successfully advanced to the Elite Eight.

Li Zhe scored 28 points and 7 assists, ranking first among all players participating in the top 16 games. NBADRAFT raised his draft pick prediction to 22.

Many people congratulated him on phone, text messages, emails, etc., which made him very happy, but the happiest thing was that this highlight performance forced many Chinese fans to re-examine him.

A large number of articles about popular science and nationality incidents have finally been widely circulated in major sports forums. Many fans who called him ungrateful at the time stood up and blamed themselves for being misled by the editing. They should carefully read the full interview.

Affected by this, some Chinese manufacturers contacted Xiaofei again and expressed their hope to reach an endorsement cooperation as soon as possible.
