The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 35: Chapter 35

In the NCAA regular season, each school will play two games against members of their respective leagues, one at home and one away.

After the end of the regular season, most leagues will take the top eight teams in the league to a single-elimination championship game (league championship), and the champions of each league will automatically be eligible to enter the NCAA tournament.

In addition, each institution occasionally competes with members of other leagues, commonly known as invitational tournaments.

These games are generally used by the team to publicize and increase their reputation.

But every team will be cautious and cautious in the choice of opponents!
After all, the results of these games are included in the total score.

……

At the end of February, in the locker room of the basketball gymnasium of Red University.

"Hey, have you heard? Our last opponent is the University of Kansas!" Lester announced loudly in the locker room.

"University of Kansas?"

Zhou Si, who was doing stretching exercises, asked suspiciously.

"Is it strong?"

"Ahem..." Lester coughed dryly. He might have answered very strongly half a year ago, but now...

"Except for one Ben McLemore, nothing stands out."

"Ben McLemore?"

Zhou Si remembered that it seemed to be a first-round pick, but because 2013 was a small draft year, he really didn't know how it was going to be.

Seeing that Zhou Si seemed a little interested in him, Lester took out his mobile phone and began to read:
"McLemore, a freshman, is also the core of the University of Kansas, position, shooting guard, template, Ray Allen, draft prediction: No. 4!"

At the end of the reading, Leicester's voice gradually became weaker, while Rodney slammed the bench directly and shouted at the same time:
"Why, the templates are all Ray Allen, but Ye's ranking is only 37!"

No one else spoke, but the locker room seemed to be cold all of a sudden!

They were still happy for Ye Ze when the mock draft rankings came out a few days ago, but they didn't expect such a result to come out now.

Ye Ze didn't speak, but his colder eyes and clenched fists showed that he was not so calm now!
"Oh, it's obvious, the coach is asking Ye Ze to defeat McClemmer." Zhou Si said with a smile.

Lester slapped his thigh,
"That's right! Why didn't I expect that! If you can defeat McLemore in a direct dialogue, your draft ranking will definitely rise!"

Rodney also patted his chest excitedly and said, "The rebounds and pick-and-rolls for the next game will be handed over to me!"

After changing his uniform, Ye Ze stood up and only said a word.

"In the next game, I will beat him!"

After Ye Ze left, Lester whispered to Rodney: "I didn't say just now that the current center Jeff Vichy of the University of Kansas is 38th in the draft simulation."

"Ahhh, Falk, you didn't say it earlier!"

The centers who can enter the draft rankings are basically much better than him...

Then, in the training class, Hall who was facing Ye Ze was stunned.

……

News of the Skywalkers going to Kansas was quickly picked up by their fans and spread quickly.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Skywalkers are now Chicago's star team.

In the eyes of the fans, the Skywalker team, which has won [-] consecutive victories, let alone the University of Kansas, which was runner-up last year, dare to imagine winning the game when they play against an NBA team!

This invitational match was placed in the Sprint Center Gymnasium, which will only be used in the knockout stage. As a result, more than 8000 tickets were sold out in a very short period of time!
You must know that the game tickets of many NBA teams are not so popular!

It is said that many Skywalker fans have made an appointment to form a group to go to the scene to cheer for the team.

The NCAA directly upgraded the game to a nationwide live broadcast, and even invited TNT's Kenny Smith, Barkley and Reggie Miller to jointly explain it!
Tencent also won the broadcasting rights!
This game is definitely full of highlights!
The direct duel between two league champions, the duel between "True and False Ray Allen", the performance of Zhou Si, the top pick!

As long as the tickets are bought, there will be no loss!
The Sprint Center Gymnasium not only attracted many media people on the first day of the game, but also many scouts gathered here by coincidence.

At this stage, every game is a good opportunity for them to inspect players and exchange information with their peers, not to mention this national live broadcast.

The scouts of the Big [-] League are actively collecting news about Zhou Si and Ye Ze, and the scouts of the Missouri Valley League are also enriching the report on McLemore.

Listening to the scouts of the Missouri Valley League blowing Zhou Si and Ye Ze to the sky, the scouts of the Big [-] League did not show weakness!

Who is afraid of who!
We also have the top two points in the United States McLemore and the top five center Vichy!
……

Before the game, in the away locker room, Coach Nelson, who was traveling with the team for the first time, was still smiling:

"Children, fight whatever you want, and show your strength!"

In the home locker room, coach Bill Self was less genial.

"Hey guys, cheer up! We have to win this game today!
Pay attention to details and pay attention to confrontation!Victory will definitely belong to our Jethawks! "

"come on!"

"come on!"

"come on!"

When the players warmed up on the court, Coach Self also specially kept McLemore to explain a few words.

Coach Nelson wants to use McClemmer to test Ye Ze's quality, but he has already locked his target on Zhou Si.

As he put it to McLemore:

"Beat that No. 10, and you can be the No. [-] favorite!"

……

The game officially started amid the cheers of the fans in the audience.

The white big man Vichy overwhelmed Rodney with a jump ball and won the chance for the University of Kansas to attack.

"Defense! Defense!"

Although there were not many fans of the Skywalker team, only about 2000 people, they still roared and cheered for the team.

In the Jayhawks' offense, McLemore kept using cover tactics to move!

Unlike the NBA, the NCAA puts more emphasis on tactical coordination.

After the non-stop interspersed, McLemore had a chance in the bottom corner, and the point guard's pass was given immediately!

"Shh!"

McLemore made an easy three-pointer from the bottom corner!

McLemore's shot is very silky and soft, and it feels hot from the beginning of today.

Almost all the audience stood up and shouted.

Compared with the commercialization of the NBA, the NCAA is more pure and passionate.

In the NBA regular season, occasionally a few good shots will win some applause, but almost no one will stand up. Only in the playoffs will there be scenes of fans standing and cheering.

The Skywalkers offense.

Ye Ze, who moved half a body away from McLemore, shot quickly after receiving a pass from his teammate.

"boom!"

The basketball swished out!

Although Ye Ze's posture is very standard, but today's luck is not very good.

Vichy protected the backboard, and the Jayhawks continued to attack!
The tactical running position is still centered on McLemer, and the whole team is moving around him.

Ye Ze tried his best to chase McLemore, slow down, go around the screen, and speed up!
McLemore raised his hand immediately after receiving the ball from beyond the three-point line, and Ye Ze rushed forward with all his strength, and then he vaguely felt that McLemore smiled.

McLemore didn't take a shot, but tapped Ye Ze and took a step to the right before shooting.

At this time, Ye Ze in the air was powerless to stop, he could only turn his head and watch the basketball fly into the basket.

"Shh!"

0: 6!

The fans cheered again!
This is our McLemore!

"Wow~ This McLemore's playing is indeed a bit of Ray Allen's shadow." Kenny Smith said to Reggie Miller.

Reggie Miller nodded. McLemore's off-ball running and shooting skills are considered good even in the NBA.

"That Ye's defense is really spicy. I said before that not every Chinese is Yao's." Barkley directly sprayed Ye Ze.

"It's only one ball, don't worry!" Kenny Smith smoothed things over.

Then, while he was talking, Ye Ze, who was about to score a three-pointer, was directly interfered by the Jayhawks who came to help defend and made a three-point shot!
McLemore quickly counterattacked with a one-handed dunk and scored two points. When he turned around, he took a special look at Ye Ze.

Hehe, at your level, you still template Ray Allen?

……

　There are so few tickets (ノ￣д￣)ノ
