The first plug-in in basketball

Chapter 53 The Second Seed!

As we all know, there are a total of 68 teams participating in the NCAA Men's Basketball National Finals. According to the rules, 32 division champions in the NCAA Division I will directly advance, while the remaining 36 spots will be selected by the judges based on comprehensive factors such as the performance, potential and attention of each team in the past season.

In the first round, eight weaker wild card teams will compete in the play-offs, and finally four teams and the remaining 60 teams will be determined to form the top 64.

The top 64 will be divided into four divisions according to the region, the South, the Midwest, the West, and the East. The 16 teams in each division will fight against each other according to the seed order given by the judges.

On the afternoon of March 2009, 3, the NCAA Tournament Organizing Committee officially announced the list of 14 participating teams, as well as the seeding order and division status of each team.

The Davidson Wildcats are assigned to the Southern Division, and their game will be played in Houston.

According to the judges' selection, the Southern Conference champion Davidson Wildcats won the No. [-] seed in the South.

The judges gave the Davidson Wildcats a very high evaluation, but they also mentioned in the evaluation that this team has too many shortcomings: How far this team that once performed miracles last season can go depends entirely on the performance of Stephen Curry and Lin Yi. Their opponents in the first round, Morgan State University, are by no means weak.

The Oklahoma Rapids, who got a wild card to play, were rated as the fourth seed. The judges believed that there was no big problem for the prospective champion Blake Griffin to lead the team to the second round, because their opponents in the first round were not very strong.

In the basketball gymnasium of the Davidson Wildcats, the gray-haired McCropp was looking at his disciples with a serious face.

"We are the number two seed!"

The No. [-] seed is really good, which proves that the Wildcats are one of the favorites.

But if you know who the No. [-] seed in the South is, you probably won't be happy that you got the No. [-] seed.

According to the geographical division rules, the Wildcats may also be assigned to other divisions, but unfortunately the judges did not let this happen.

The southern division is recognized as the devil division among the four major divisions this year.

Because the No. [-] seed in this division is North Carolina.

No one wants to meet North Carolina before the final, including their old rival Duke.

There is no need to repeat how strong North Carolina was in 2009. At least after McCropp showed the game schedule to his disciples, except for Stephen Curry and Lin Yi, other players had a feeling that they were already cold.

"Actually, it's okay. Our seeding is pretty good. At least we have to meet North Carolina and reach the quarterfinals." Lin Yi looked at the schedule, thoughtful.

"Yes, and if we get to the second and third rounds, we can avoid Gonzaga and Kentucky, but in the Sweet Sixteen we will probably play Syracuse." Stephen Curry agreed.

"I think the opponents we will encounter in the top 32 should be stronger. I didn't expect to meet James again so soon. Look, Stephen, if everything goes well with James Harden, we will meet them in the top 32." Lin Yi and Curry discussed the top 32 and the top 16 lightly, and it seemed that in their eyes, what about Syracuse and Arizona State University, winning them seemed a certainty!

Not to mention Arizona State University, they won us!

But wait, why does Syracuse University look like a belly to the two of you!
That's Syracuse University, hello!
You must know that the most famous star that Syracuse University has produced is Carmelo Anthony, the core of the NBA Nuggets. As a team that has won the NCAA championship, this year's Syracuse University is also very strong overall.

They have the NCAA super point guard, Jonny Flynn, who ranks extremely high on the ESPN draft network and the Draft draft network.

The physically fit Flynn is regarded as the next Westbrook. He has staged wonderful dunks in NCAA games many times this year, especially the 180-degree turn to catch the windmill in tribute to the flying man Carter.

Wildcat players such as Anthony Beasley and McMillan felt that Lin Yi and Stephen Curry's hearts were too big!

Crooked, wait, isn't the point that we probably won't even pass the first round?

Other teams are not like us. Our opponent in the first round, Morgan State, also has three players who want to enter the NBA. They are not comparable to our part-time basketball players who are going to work in Silicon Valley after graduation or go to Wall Street to move bricks!
McCropp was still thinking about how to cheer up his disciples, but the calmness and composure shown by Lin Yi and Stephen Curry has exceeded his imagination.

"Anyway, North Carolina is the strongest. No matter what, if we want to win the championship, we will definitely meet them." Lin Yi said rationally.

"That's right, everyone, this is my last year in college with Lin! Although I don't want to say it, and I feel that it will offend everyone, but I still want to say that if you miss this year, there will be no next year!" At this moment, Stephen Curry lost his old hippie smile, and only had seriousness and seriousness.

After Anthony Beasley, McMillan and others listened to what Curry and Lin Yi had said, they were no longer as overwhelmed and panicked as they were just now.

Yes, this is our last year.

Without Lin Yi and Stephen Curry, we would never have gotten here.

They're going to the NBA, so there's no way we'll have another opportunity like this year.

Although what Curry said is really shocking, it is the truth.

The NCAA competition system is very cruel, but it is precisely because of the cruelty that the NCAA can steal all the focus on basketball in March.

Regardless of whether you are the Lakers or the Celtics, in March USA basketball only belongs to the NCAA.

On the day the Davidson Wildcats played in Houston, students from all over the school signed their names together on a giant Wildcats flag.

All the students in the school, especially the cheerleaders who cheered for the Wildcats for a whole season, watched the team with full of expectation and hope.

In Davidson, a small town with only a few thousand people, all the townspeople walked out of their homes. They watched the bus leaving by the Wildcats, and their cheers never stopped...

"I don't know if you will continue to engage in basketball-related industries in the future!"

"I don't know if you really like basketball from the bottom of your heart!"

"Davidson College has never been a prestigious school in American basketball."

"Our best record in history was only the quarter-finals last season."

"But I know how much sweat you have put in for today and this moment! You are the players I brought out, and I know your efforts very well. You are fighting against your limits every day."

"Now, we are about to set off to the best stage, and the eyes of the whole country will be on you! I hope that many years from now, you will be proud to recall this story, and you will be able to tell your children and your families tirelessly about this history."

"If North Carolina is the supreme king of the American basketball world, let us set off now and pull the king off the damn throne!" Before the expedition, McCropp said these words in front of his disciples.

All of the Davidson Wildcats players stared at their coach.

We gave our all to get here, and this is not where we will end.

On the bus, Lin Yi opened the window, and suddenly patted Stephen Curry on the shoulder, "Look, Stephen, rainbow."

Stephen Curry and other teammates looked over.

A rainbow appeared in the small town of Davidson.

If Davidson is a sweet home, then we are about to go to the legendary dream land.

To get there, you need to walk through the clouds, step over the mountains, and hold your head high in the storm...

Although there are many difficulties, if you do your best and give everything you have, it will definitely be unforgettable...

These are faces with dreams in their hearts, and all the players of the Davidson Wildcats clenched their fists at this moment.
