Chapter 11 Against Tulane University

The boring training has been going on for three weeks.

In addition to the still poor shooting, Li Shengli's confrontation ability at the basket has improved significantly, and his footsteps are more flexible.

In addition to technical progress, Li Shengli's biggest achievement is to be recognized by his teammates and successfully integrated into the collective.

"Three with two, anyone want it?"

After a day's training, during the break, Li Shengli, Tom, and the team's starting point guard Alan, the three brothers played a game of Doudizhu together. As for Mark and other teammates, they stood behind the three brothers and watched the game, eager to try. .

Speaking of which, the game of Doudizhu has a long history in China. It started in the 80s and [-]s. The names are different in different places, but the gameplay is similar. After Li Shengli taught the game of Doudizhu to his teammates a few days ago, everyone was stunned. Now, whenever I have free time, I pull people to join in the game, and I have a great time playing.

Although they don't understand what "Fighting the Landlord" means, fortunately, Li Shengli gave a wave of soul translation, Fighting the Landlord = Beating the Capitalist!

"Sorry!" Alan frowned.

"Wait, I want four 5, bomb!" Tom threw out a bomb excitedly, blowing up Li Shengli, "oh shit, Tom, you and I are farmers, Alan... It's a capitalist!"

"Li, shut up, I have to let you see how powerful I am Tom." Poor Tom has been tortured by Li Shengli for the past few weeks, and the Landlord project is the only way for him to regain his dignity. Whoever he is a capitalist, anyway, just stare at Li Shengli and throw the bomb and it's over.

"A 3!"

"Good work, Tom. A big king, even pair, plane! Yes, I won, Li, shuffle the cards!" After shaking the poker cards in his hand, Alan shouted excitedly, while the melon-eating teammates watching the game next to him Seeing that Li Shengli was sanctioned, they all applauded.

There is no way, although Li Shengli has integrated into the group, but because everyone needs to cooperate with Tom to accompany Li Shengli in turns, and is deeply persecuted by Li Shengli, so he naturally becomes a "collective public enemy".

"You idiots, how can you play Doudizhu like this!" Li Shengli covered his face, feeling that he should not teach them how to play cards.

"Shut up, you evil capitalist, shuffle the cards!"

"My God, this game is so much fun."

"Hurry up, Alan, Tom, you two, go away, it's time to change."

The melon-eating teammates cheered, urging Alan and Tom to make way, and the other two teammates immediately sat opposite Li Shengli, forming a friendly alliance tacitly.

"Alan, I heard from Coach Eddie that tomorrow is our first game, why are you not nervous at all?" Li Shengli asked Alan while shuffling the cards.

As a point guard, Alan is recognized as the leader of the team. His character is undeniable, and he is a typical good guy.

"Nervous, what's the matter?" Alan stared at the playing cards intently, "With you as a pervert, I have to think about it, is there any need to be nervous about my opponent?"

"Come on, I haven't played a single game, so don't get your hopes up." Li Shengli said while shuffling the cards.

"Hey, be confident. Tomorrow, you will treat the opposite center as Tom. I guarantee he will cry!"

Alan is grinning, Tom is selling it!

"Shut up, Alan! And you, Li, hurry up and deal the cards. Tomorrow is the first game of this season, and we don't have much rest time. Don't try to procrastinate. Accept our sanctions with peace of mind. Hell! capitalist!"

From 6pm until 10pm.

Poor Li Shengli didn't even have dinner, and was bombarded by his teammates one after another, regardless of whether he was a landlord or a farmer, anyway, the teammates just stared at him and chased and blocked him, messing with him for 4 hours before giving up.

……

The regular season within the major leagues of the NCAA generally starts in late November and ends in early March of the second year.

During the regular season, each team has to play two games with other teams in the same league, one home and one away, and then the top eight teams are ranked according to the record, and then the league championship game with a single knockout system.

The team that wins the league championship will automatically qualify for the NCAA tournament, a total of 32 teams.

In addition to the 32 advanced league championship teams, there are also 36 wild card teams selected by the selection committee.

其中32个联盟冠军球队中排名最低的4只需要和36外卡球队中排名最低的4只交手，保证最终参加锦标赛的队伍数量在64只。

Next is the 20-day or so March Madness!

64 teams, single-match knockout system, win or lose in one game, the speed of elimination is astonishingly fast, making the game more intense and cruel, which is also the true meaning of "March Madness".

……

First week of December!

The East Carolina University Buccaneers, which belong to the American Athletic League, ushered in their first game, a home game against the Tulane University Green Waves of the same league.

Tulane University.

Although it is only one letter away from the NCAA giants Duke University, its strength is indeed very different. It is even difficult to get tickets for March Madness.

In contrast, the situation of East Carolina University, which is a difficult brother, is slightly better. Although it is also a poor team at the bottom, its performance last season was much better than that of Tulane University.

The team locker room.

Eddie was doing player deployment and pre-match mobilization, and the starting players for this game were also determined early, C Tom, PF Mark, SF George, PG Alan, and SG Brook.

It is worth mentioning that Li Shengli did not appear in the starting list.

"Eddie, how sure are you of this match?" Smith asked Eddie privately.

"Sure? You know the strength of Tulane University. If there is no accident, we have a great chance of winning this game." Eddie said confidently, "If it was last season, I would never dare to be so sure. But this season is different, we have the trump card of Li Shengli!"

Smith nodded in approval.

Li Shengli is now Dongka University's trump card. With him, he can indeed ensure that the game is safe. After all, Tulane University's strength lies there, and no one inside can stop Li Shengli.

"In that case, why don't you let Li start?"

"Starting? No, no, no, he must play at a critical moment!" Eddie shook his head. "I said that Li Shengli is a sharp knife in my hand. I don't want my opponents to discover him in advance."

Eddie's idea was simple.

In the case of ensuring that he will reach the quarterfinals of the league and be eligible to compete for the league championship and NCAA championship seats, the sooner Li Shengli is exposed, the better.

A tiger on the bright side is certainly scary, but a hungry wolf that jumps out suddenly and makes people defenseless is even more lethal!

"Eddie, why do I feel like you're playing with fire? If you deliberately hide Li's strength and cause the team not to get tickets for March Madness, then we will lose face!" Smith said with a frown.

In fact, it's not his fault.

Both he and Eddie knew how scumbag Dongka University was. Although Li Shengli, an insider pervert, joined this season, it didn't mean they could take it lightly.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."

"Well, maybe you are right. The game is about to start, hope these little guys can play the first game of the season!"
