Chapter 15 Low-intensity preseason games
The Alligator finally defeated the Jayhawks, and the Alligator will still be the biggest favorite to win the championship in the new season.
"Al Horford...Jokin Noah... There are also Cory Brewer and Taurin Green on the outside..."
Late at night, the brightly lit Frank Irving Center, Rick Barnes scratched his head.
This Alligator is too strong, invincible inside and one of the top NCAAs on the outside. This team with almost no weakness seems to be heading towards its two consecutive championships.
After thinking for a long time, Rick Barnes, who had no response at all, threw his pen aside: "Forget it, why do you think so much? As long as you play the preseason, regular season and regular season, you will be at least the final quarterfinals when you meet the Gators."
The match system of ncaa March Crazy March is quite special. The championships of 32 leagues and the 36 wild card teams selected by the selection committee will enter the final championship.
The first thing to play was the "Four First Games" game, with 4 teams ranked lower among the 32 championship teams facing 4 teams ranked lower among the 36 wild card teams. After the knockout round, these 8 teams competed out of 4 teams and formed the top 64 with the remaining 60 teams.
The top 64 will be divided into four divisions, namely the Eastern Division, the Central and Western Division, the Southern Division and the Western Division. The next game will be the real March Crazy.
Generally speaking, the University of Texas will be assigned to the Eastern Division, while the University of Florida will be assigned to the Midwest Division.
(Although I don’t understand why the Texas Congress went to the east, and the Fexas Congress went to the Midwest instead, but Yiwen looked at the NCAA historical records and found that the partition was indeed like this at that time.)
Before rushing out of the competition area, Detaka and Fo Da obviously won't meet.
Once Deda broke out of the competition zone, it means they won the final semi-finals.
In the final semi-finals, this result was enough to satisfy Rick Barnes. Of course, no one would have any delusions about the final championship if they really wanted to hit.
"Let's talk about it when you hit it, let's study Kansas first..."
After a long time, Rick Barnes rubbed his sore eyes, stood up and stretched his waist.
"Go home!"
He opened the office door and heard a continuous sound from the training ground.
I raised my hand and looked at my watch. It was already past 11 o'clock in the night.
"Who is it? I'm still on the training ground so late?"
Curiosity drove Rick Barnes to walk slowly and gently to the entrance of the passage where he often appeared.
"Kevin, Sheldon?"
On the training ground, Li Ke defended Xiao Du.
Xiao Du's long arms made Li Ke a little desperate, but his speed and strength still put a lot of pressure on Xiao Du.
The two of them are not the only one who needs them. Strictly speaking, they are not suitable for one-on-one training together.
"You are so naughty, Kevin, who is seven feet tall and has an arm span of almost 230cm, is simply not a human being!"
"You are not a human being, Sheldon, who weighs more than 80 kilograms, but his strength is so great."
"There is a great power that Jill can't help you."
Li Ke rolled his eyes, but Xiao Du laughed.
“Continue.”
"Continue, you guy, you must have not made an appointment with a girl tonight, so you think about practicing more so that you can vent your extra energy..."
It turned out that after watching the Kansas and Fozda game, Xiao Du was about to leave, but before leaving, Li Ke left him for the door.
Li Ke felt strange, could this guy go out to have fun while the night?
After asking a few more questions, I realized that Xiao Du was preparing to go to the training ground to practice more.
Li Ke thought for a while and said that those who scored 100 points had to practice more. He, who barely passed the exam, wouldn’t he have to study at night?
After thinking about it, I still followed Xiao Du and practiced more together.
As a result, this extra exercise seemed to have gained nothing except for consuming physical strength and energy.
...
After defeating North Carolina's tar heels, the University of Texas took a three-day break.
In the second game of the preseason, the University of Texas faced the University of North Texas in the Sun Belt League.
This time it is not a away game. Of course, even if it is still away, I will not travel a long distance, because the city of Denton, where the University of North Texas is located, is only more than 400 kilometers away from Austin, and the bus arrives in three or four hours.
The opponent this time is not strong. The Sun Belt Alliance is just the bottom-ranked minor league among the 32 leagues. Although the University of North Texas is the class bully in this league, it does not have any outstanding players.
The star of the family is Calvin Watson, a shooting guard that Li Ke doesn't know.
That is, you can play a role in the Sun Belt Alliance. Once you fight until March Madness, the University of North Texas will be a sure-fire boy.
This game was easy to win.
Du's outside offense is not something that nobody like Quincy Williams and Keith Wooden can limit.
Li Ke's defensive performance was also very stable, easily locking Calvin Watson.
In terms of personal data, he has already secured the starter and got more opportunities in this game, with 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals, and various data easily broke his personal records.
At this time, Li Ke even thought that if he had not attracted the attention of Southern California University and Germany University, his final destination would be a small league class bully like the University of North Texas.
But as soon as the game starts, he will be abused to such a cerebral hemorrhage by the top teams in the major leagues.
I'm afraid it will...
After this game, it was another four days of rest.
Then, the University of Texas welcomed its third preseason opponent.
This time, his opponent is not that weak and he is also very famous. He is affiliated to the Southeast League's University of Kentucky and his head coach is Toubesmith, who has coached for ten years.
Lagarondo has just been sent to the NBA, and the current team's star includes Randolph Morris and Joe Crawford, who are juniors, and Joe Dimex, who are freshman.
Although it is a traditional school in NCAA and has won numerous championships in team history, Kentucky is in their trough in recent years. It was suppressed by the University of Florida in the league and made no achievements outside the league.
This bad situation continued until John Calipari joined, and then Kentucky became the top team in the NCAA and could even be removed. After all, Kentucky could almost send three to four rookie players to the NBA every year since then.
Li Ke originally thought that Kentucky, which was strong enough, could make the preseason more intense and exciting, just like their first match against North Carolina.
Later, Randolph Morris and Joe Crawford, who played for CBA, and Joe Dimex, who played in the NBA, were able to stand up and hone his defense.
The result is that Jodie Mix is still young and has almost no time to play. Li Ke needs to defend Joclawford, a junior.
His defense was not leaked, but it was Xiao Du who decided on the victory and defeat that defeated Randolph Morris on the offensive end.
Another single game of 34 points, because his opponent is not weak, Xiao Du once again won numerous praises.
"It's so boring. When will a stronger opponent come to..."
At the end of the game, Li Ke put his waist on his back.
Chapter completed!
