Chapter 61:"Is there any suspense in this game?"

Just when Griffin felt so miserable that he had nowhere to tell, something happened that made him even more depressed.

Coach Lang Kruger pointed to the big screen in mid-air and motioned him to watch it.

Griffin looked up in wonder, then froze.

In his data column, the number of fouls was astonishingly five!

In the NCAA, a maximum of five fouls in a game will end, that is to say, he graduated with honor.

Griffin only felt a rush of anger in his heart, but there was nowhere to vent it, which made him almost explode.

He played 27 minutes and only scored 8 points, almost all of which were missed by the basket. There were 7 rebounds, but almost all of them were rebounds from the backcourt in the first half.

In addition, he also had 1 block, 1 steal, 3 turnovers and 5 fouls, but he filled all the data blocks and looked very versatile.

On the other hand, Curry on the opposite side, so far in the game, there are only points, assists, and turnovers.

But this is not what he wants!

He also wants to be like Curry, scoring [-] to [-] points while walking in the courtyard, grabbing a dozen or [-] rebounds, and double-doubles every game. This is the style that a brutal power forward should have!

But now, Griffin's desire to kill the Quartet is doomed to be shattered, and the referee has come to him and asked him to end.

He waved his hand helplessly and returned to the bench. Lang Kruger did not blame him, but comforted him:

"Blake, don't be discouraged. You are an insider. You are destined to experience a longer period of time before you can fully tap your potential. NCAA is just the beginning. Although Curry is ahead of you, his talent is far inferior to yours. You are a superstar destined to shine in the NBA, be patient, go back and practice hard, next year we will start all over again!"

The old coach is very optimistic about Griffin, and he also knows what the disciple has experienced this year, so the comfort is just right.

It is almost impossible for the Shortfooted team to comeback in this game. He wants to use waste to make this game a new starting point for Griffin's career.

After Lang Kruger finished speaking, Griffin was no longer so depressed. He nodded heavily:

"I understand, coach, I will definitely become stronger!"

He wiped his sweat with a towel and looked at Curry with a fighting look.

You wait, Babyface, I will deal with you later!

On the other side of the technical table, Zhang Yu glanced at the Swifts' bench, just in time to see Griffin staring at Curry with a burning gaze, slightly surprised in his heart.

Did you get back on your feet so quickly?

But also, although Griffin did not reach the heights people expected, his willpower is indeed very tenacious.

In Zhang Yu's previous life, Griffin was reimbursed for the season after the draft, but in the second year he played a shocking performance in the league and was selected as an All-Star.

Afterwards, Griffin encountered injuries many times, but he was not knocked down by the injuries. Instead, he developed long-range shots and coping abilities, and transformed from a beastly power forward to an all-around striker capable of inside and outside, but his efficiency was a bit bleak. .

But these all show that Griffin is a mentally tough player, and his ability to become the No. [-] pick does not depend entirely on talent.

Every star should not be underestimated.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, and turned his attention back to the arena.

"Is there any suspense in this game?" Stevens moved to his side.

"Of course, Griffin was sent off, and the opponent won't last long. Play for another 5 minutes, and then replace the substitute." Zhang Yu nodded.

"But Griffin is not that strong, why do you have to let Curry beat him down?" Stevens asked with some doubts.

Before the game, Zhang Yu arranged for Currido to play Griffin with the ball.

Facts have proved that Griffin really couldn't prevent Curry from playing big. Curry took whatever he wanted from him and quickly expanded the score advantage for the team.

But just now, Zhang Yu instructed Curry to take the initiative to make a foul, and Griffin was sent off, which made Stevens very puzzled.

Why not keep this opponent's defensive weakness and continue to target it?

"I just want to win more safely." Zhang Yu said.

For Stevens, Griffin is just a freshman with rough skills and underdeveloped body.

As for Zhang Yu, he has watched Griffin's peak game and knows how powerful he is. Who knows if he will suddenly explode.

Zhang Yu still remembers the first game he coached the Bulldogs. It was against Indian State University. An unknown defender Moore suddenly broke out at the end of the game and almost reversed the game, let alone Griffin. player of?

In his previous life, he had watched the Warriors reverse their opponents in the second half, and he didn't want this kind of thing to happen to him one day.

After Griffin went off the court, the fighting spirit of the Swifts players was even more slack.

With a big wave of Zhang Yu's hand, the Bulldogs further improved their offensive and defensive strength, and they succeeded in defensive counterattacks again and again, which made the University of Oklahoma's defense line shattered, and the offensive end became chaotic.

With 6 minutes left in the game, the Bulldogs had a 79-point lead at 55:24 over the Shorties.

Zhang Yu took the initiative to call a timeout and replaced all the starters.

After seeing it, Lang Kruger did not make unnecessary persistence. After 1 minute, he took advantage of the dead ball and also sent a substitute, and the game entered garbage time.

In the end, after a "fierce" match between the two sides' benches, the score was fixed at 86:68. Butler University defeated its opponent by 18 points, approaching the Elite Sixteen for the second consecutive year.

The University of Oklahoma stopped at the top 32, ending the journey of March Madness.

After the game, Zhang Yu came to the technical stage and shook hands with Lang Kruger.

Lang Kruger said with a wry smile:

"Aren't you taking too much aim at Blake?"

Zhang Yu smiled slightly:

"It was a grind for him."

"Well, I'll pass it on to him. I have to say that Steph is an amazing player. He brought victory to Butler University. It's hard to imagine what he would achieve if he was on a big team." Lang Kruger changed his tone and praised Curry.

Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows, there was something in the old man's words.

What this means is that the Bulldogs' victory depends on Curry. He is useless as a head coach, and Butler University restricts Curry's further development.

"Really, then I should thank Coach K for giving Stephen to me...and he is incomparable with Blake. How much was Blake ranked in the United States before he went to college?" Zhang Yu said lightly.

"Sorry, I forgot." Lang Kruger's smile faltered, and he turned and left.

Can a genius like Griffin be trained to be so weird with me here?

Zhang Yu looked at his back, smiled coldly, came to the field, and joined the celebration with the team members.

Next, it is a crucial step for Butler University to achieve a historic breakthrough!

　Haha, unexpectedly, Griffin was so miserable in the first year, with 8 points, 7 rebounds and 5 fouls. I was shocked when I saw it. Should this chapter be changed to "Shocked!"The Unbearable Past of the Fauvist Power Forward"?
