Chapter 24: 【Contest】


  Before training, David made a simple mobilization and called out the slogan. The goal of the new season is to enter the NCAA tournament.
   Wang Jun listened to Abby's lectures on American college basketball, and he was no longer a ignorant little white.
   First of all, the Wolverine team will play in the league.
The Big Ten Alliance has a long history and was founded in 1896. It is the oldest alliance in the NCAA and one of the six recognized alliances. The 11 universities in the alliance are mainly distributed in the Midwest of the United States, west to Iowa, and east to Pennsylvania.
The 11 teams are: Purdue University Boiler Manufacturing Team, University of Michigan Wolverine, Michigan State University Spartans, Ohio State Buckeyes, Indiana University Mountainers, Illinois University Militant Illinois Teams, Northwestern Wildcats, University of Minnesota Golden Gophers, University of Wisconsin Sharks, Pennsylvania State University Nittany Lions and Iowa Eagles.
  The NCAA basketball season starts in November every year. After the regular season, the top ten leagues will take the top eight teams in the league for a single-knockout league championship game. The decided champions can automatically advance to the NCAA tournament.
   Apart from the 31 automatically recognized league champions, the remaining quota for the tournament is determined by the committee, which is called an expanded invitation. The invitation qualification is basically determined by the record and the strength of the alliance.
After the list of the top 64 is determined, all shortlisted teams will be divided into four divisions: East, West, South, and West. The top four are recognized as the first seed in each district, and the other schools are ranked 2 by the committee according to their strength. No. 16 seed. Afterwards, a head-to-tail approach was adopted to determine the match. It is the first pair of 16th, the second pair of 15th, single knockout system.
   Lose one and have to go home. The elimination rate is amazing. This is the true meaning of "Crazy March". No matter how good the previous performance is, being beaten once, the players have been in vain for a season of hard work. This kind of thing is not uncommon.
   The NCAA tournament is divided into three stages, the first stage is the first and second round, quickly eliminated from the top 64 to the top 16.
This is called the Sweet 16, because all teams entering the second stage will get a higher level of attention, which is a stage where players interested in participating in the NBA draft can attract higher exposure and more scout attention. .
   The second stage will be eliminated from the sweet 16 to the elite quarterfinals, and then decide the four division champions, which is the final semifinals.
   Then, at the pre-selected battle location, the final four will go through the semifinals and finals to decide the champion. A match-making system makes the game particularly fierce and cruel, and has unparalleled charm. The NBA did not play any games on the final day to show respect.
  The Wolverine team's goal is not great, and the top three in the top ten leagues are generally shortlisted for the championship.
   It is very difficult to enter the top 16. Wolverine is in the Central and Western District, a recognized death team. Duke University, University of Louisville, University of Kentucky, University of Texas are all here. In terms of strength last season, no matter which team you encounter, Wolverines are not easy to play.
  The players started to warm up under the leadership of assistant physical trainer Hugo Ramsden.
   This is a white guy, team manager, master of sports nutrition, internship in the team. He is a talented student with a height of only 175cm, and he is very thin and unremarkable.
  Hugo's sense of existence is quite weak. Abby is going to class now, and he finds the feeling of a manager.
   The players ran a few laps around the field and then took turns to layup to warm up.
  At break, the players started chatting.
   "A lot of people came to see the ball today, how did it happen?"
   "Yeah, isn't Abby going to class? There are no beautiful women to watch today."
   "Maybe I came to see Wang Jun, didn't you see there are many Asians on the sidelines?" Kaman was envious.
   "I'm afraid they will be disappointed for a while." Larry Powell laughed.
  He is a fourth-year player, a veteran of the team. He will graduate after another season, but he doesn't want to spend it on the bench. So as soon as he met today, he began to target Wang Jun blatantly.
  Unknown to Wang Jun's strength, players have chosen to wait and see, with the exception of Kaman.
He immediately frowned and looked at Powell unpleasantly: "Larry, what do you say? Is the newcomer strong and good at making you uncomfortable? Just because he might grab your starter? You start than win. Important?"
  Carman's merciless questioning made Powell very embarrassed. He shivered and hummed: "I don't have a theory with you, I'll know it in a moment... whoever plays first, we speak with strength."
   Powell was obviously a little scared of Kaman, but he didn’t know if he was afraid of damaging the locker room atmosphere, being beaten by a big man, or afraid of being alive and nagging to death.
   At this time, Wang Jun found that talking tuberculosis also has advantages. Such people can't hide the words in their hearts and are not afraid to show their position. It was very rare for the two talents to support Wang Jun as soon as they met him.
   "Chris, thank you."
   "Don't mention it, you hit it, we have hope." Kaman gave him a sincere smile.
  Wang Jun smiled, this person is worthy of deep friendship.
After practicing for a while, David announced a group match.
  Wang Jun and Kaman are in a team, both wearing white vests, and the other three are also the main force last season.
   The other party put on a green vest, led by Gil Adamson.
  Powell's face sank, he realized that the coach really had the idea of ​​letting him play the bench.
David arranged tactics and said: "Chris asked the ball to attack in the low position on the right side. Wang stood waiting for the pass in the bottom corner on the right side. Mike gave Chris a hanging ball on the right side. The opportunity can be cut empty. Bobby pays attention to the left. Give Luke a cover and help him get rid of it. He can break through to catch the ball, or he can divide it again."
   The tactics are very simple, and Wang Jun understands them as soon as he hears them. Everyone else is out of position, and his position is almost fixed, that is, the corner and other shooting opportunities.
   Some people may think that he is useless, the coach does not trust, and then arranged for him to stand in the corner, in fact the opposite is true.
   The three-pointer at the bottom corner is too important. All basketball teams cannot ignore this problem if they want to play well. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
   First of all, this position is the weak point of the regional joint defense. It is the most difficult point to shrink defense. Once the space is available, the opponent has to make up for defense from a distance, or the inside player throws out the defense.
  Secondly, as long as the corner player takes the ball to attract the defensive homeopathic goal, it is difficult for the opponent to make up the position and it is easy to pass to the side teammates to form an empty seat. But there is a premise that the teammates can guarantee the hit rate, the other party does not dare to short.
   The most important point is that the bottom corner three-pointer is like cheating, and it is closer to the three-pointer than other regions. Measured in terms of numbers, the distance between the three-pointer at the bottom corner and the basket is 6.71 meters, which is 0.53 meters less than the distance from the top of the arc.
   The closer the shot is to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage.
   Therefore, it is a matter of course that the three-point hit rate of the corner is higher than that of other positions. Statistics show that the current NBA corner three-point shooting rate reaches 38.7%, while the top three-point shooting rate is only 34.6%.
   defensive tactics are also very simple, shrinking the joint defense, the green team lacks a pitcher.
   Last season David has been urging players to practice shooting, so arranged, he wants to see if these people have improved during the holiday.
   is about to play, David stopped Wang Jun alone, encouraging to say: "This is just practice, you just need to run in, it doesn't matter if you don't play well, so don't have any psychological pressure, relax."
   Wang Jun nodded. He was under a lot of pressure, but he didn't want to relax.
Seeing the side of the court, assistant coach Adamson and Powell were talking about something, he had an ominous hunch.
  The two are in opposition, will he be Powell's opponent?
