I’m Really Playing Basketball

After Chen Xiao, Ron Howard and the Wade couple had a happy and warm Christmas vacation, the NCAA war started again.

The non-league stage of the first stage of the NCAA has all ended, and now the NCAA teams have begun to prepare for the second stage, the league stage.

According to the record of the various leagues playing against each other in the first stage, the quota for the NCAA National Championships has roughly been allocated. (ps: There are also wild card teams in the NCAA National Championships)

Next, the teams of the 31 NCAA leagues will compete in the NCAA National Championship.

For those alliances with poor results in the first stage, if only one quota is allocated, the civil war will be quite cruel.

The C-USA league where Marquette University is located has performed very well in the first stage of the season.

Especially the four big teams in the league.

Marquette University won 12 consecutive victories in the first stage. Together with Duke University and the University of Virginia, they are the only three teams in the first stage of the league to win all games.

The University of Cincinnati was 12 wins and 1 loss in the first stage, and the only game it lost was against Oklahoma State University, the No. 18 seeded team this season.

Although the records of the University of Louisville and the University of Memphis are not as amazing as Marquette University and the University of Cincinnati, the two teams are 9 wins and 2 losses and 10 wins and 4 losses respectively.

Although apart from the giants of these four major leagues, the other teams in the league have mediocre records, but just the excellent performance of these four teams has already taken away three national championship spots for the C-USA league.

Last year, C-USA had only two places.

Therefore, here we have to say the NCAA’s first league ACC league, Duke University won 12 consecutive games, University of Virginia won all 9 games, University of Maryland 11 wins and 2 losses, North Carolina State University 10 wins and 2 losses, Wake Forest University 10 wins and 3 losses...

This is not counting the remaining two giants of the University of North Carolina and Georgia Tech.

Even Clemson University and Florida State University, the worst in the ACC, had 9 wins, 4 losses and 8 wins and 5 losses in the first stage.

The C-USA league where Marquette University is located has a total of 14 teams. Marquette University, University of Cincinnati, University of Louisville and University of Memphis are indeed doing very well.

But starting with St. Louis University in fifth and UNC Charlotte in sixth, the other teams' record in the first stage was below 50%.

The C-USA league is not too bad. There are only 4 teams with a winning rate of more than 50% in the first stage...

Count and see how many of the nine teams in the ACC league have a 50% winning percentage?

What is the NCAA Division I?

This is the first league of the NCAA, it's really not a bragging.

Every year in the NCAA National Championships, the league only allocates five or six spots to the ACC league.

According to the results of the ACC league teams in the first stage, the 8 places in the ACC league are not too many.

Some alliances don't even deserve a spot...

From the comparison between the ACC league and the C-USA league, we can see why the focus of the second stage of the game in the United States is on the ACC league.

Because every civil war in the ACC league is a duel between masters, and it is a contest between national-level teams.

That's right, all nine ACC teams have national-level strength!

As for the C-USA league where Marquette University is located, there are only four national-level teams this season, and the remaining 11 teams are basically considered fishy.

Therefore, in the second stage of Marquette University, the civil war of the C-USA alliance, there are only three opponents.

One is the first guard of C-USA, the best player of C-USA last season, the University of Cincinnati led by Steve Logan.

One is naturally known as the combination of Kobe and Iverson. This year, he overwhelmed Wade and was named the most anticipated rookie at the University of Memphis led by Dajuan Wagner.

The other is the University of Louisville led by Reese Gaines and this year's No. 12 high school talent Carlos Hunter.

Overall, compared to the crazy infighting in the ACC league, Marquette University is relatively easy in C-USA.

From January to March next year, Marquette University only needs to pay attention to these three opponents during the three months. Most of the other teams should be swept.

Of course, this is the prediction of the media and the expectations of the fans, not the idea of ​​head coach Tom Klein.

Tom Klein feels that even if the lion fights the rabbit, he must go all out.

Soon, after the team's Christmas break, Tom Kline made a surprise attack on the Marquette University players who had just finished their vacation.

The final result is of course almost annihilated!

Except for Chen Xiao, Wade, Ron Howard, and Odette Braxon, none of Marquette's other eight players was in good shape.

One by one, all of them returned to the team with weak legs, sunken eyes, and overworked appearance.

Seeing these guys like this, Chen Xiao was actually quite envious.

The team's record this season is very good, and Marquette Mitaka is a star player who has attracted national attention.

Even if the non-Mitaka Marquette players are not well-known in the country, but at Marquette University, in Milwaukee, they are walking hormone machines.

They can even play a different one every hour as long as they are willing to loosen their leash.

What a temptation.

No wonder these energetic young men in their twenties could resist.

In addition, most of the opponents in the league stage are not strong, so why not relax?

But who knows, the younger sisters are too enthusiastic, and the black brothers can't take it back if they relax a little bit, and they play too much...

Seeing the livid faces of head coach Tom Crean and assistant coach Tim Barkley at this time, Chen Xiao secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, all of them were rejected!

He couldn't convince himself to go to the hotel to do this with the money the village collected for him.

Likewise, he seemed a bit machismo, ashamed to ask the other party to pay.

Therefore, Chen Xiao rejected all of them.

Facing the temptation, he refused all of them because of his poverty.

As for Ron Howard, because of his self-discipline, he almost regarded women as pink skeletons.

My life is just basketball.

Facing the temptation of the pink skull, Chen Ling felt that Luo Ge was more like Tang Seng than him.

Luo Ge's self-discipline is hardly like a black man.

As for Wade, it's all because he has to take care of Theo who is getting bigger and bigger. He doesn't have time. I don't know what will happen if he has time.

The team's backup small forward, Wade's fellow countryman Blakeson, is training throughout Christmas.

That's right, this somewhat introverted and shy substitute forward has been training with Chen Xiao throughout the Christmas holiday.

It's like being possessed.

This player who wanted to be promoted by Wade but was not available is now Chen Xiao's 'leg'.

Chen Xiao actually didn't want to take in a follower.

Just because Wade didn't take care of him, I helped Wade take care of his emotions. Wade is too emotionally intelligent. I followed you from Chicago to Milwaukee. Did you take care of him like this? Everyone wants to transfer schools.

Braxon's strength is higher than that of the team's starting forward Ennamaka, but he can't get the starting lineup. He is really planning to transfer schools.

Seeing Braxon like this, Chen Xiao can only help Wade deal with it, I am so sorry for others.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao was training Wade and Ron Howard on defense, he also gave Braxon some training 'breakthrough experience cards' from time to time to help him correct his defense.

Since then, Braxon has cast his eyes on Chen Xiao.

After being brought into the world of defense by Chen Xiao, this all-round offensive rebounding madman couldn't extricate himself...

At Marquette University, everyone said their goal was the NBA.

But Chen Xiao felt that there were only four and a half players who really set their goals in the NBA.

Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard are all three.

Dina counts as half.

Braxon is another.

Chen Xiao still admired him a lot.

Because of the near-annihilation of Marquette University, Tom Kline is very angry.

After training the team for a meal, he still has no intention of letting go.

For the next game against the University of Cincinnati, Braxon and Dina will start!

After Tom Kline finished speaking angrily, he turned around and left the training ground with his assistant Tim Barkley, leaving the players looking at each other in blank dismay.

Brackson and Dina start? Then who is the substitute?

Who are you talking about as a substitute? Of course you and Scott are substitutes. You still want Dwyane and the little one to be substitutes?

The faces of Scott Merritt and Ennamaka are so ugly.

Does the coach need to be so angry? Facing the biggest opponent in the league, he would rather the team not have a center but take them down.

Although they have been abused on the court in many games this season, they would rather beat their chests on the court than sit on the bench on the sidelines!

It's just that, in the NCAA, no star can compete with the coach in terms of authority.

Even if they don't want to, they can only accept it.

Being taken down from the starting position by the head coach, Merritt and Enamaka are of course very unhappy.

But Dina and Braxon couldn't hide the joy on their faces.

It's finally starting!

Especially Braxon.

It's because he can't beat his chest and feet like Ennamaka, and he won't be reused even if he is stronger.

Now, the opportunity finally came.

Looking at this servant who was so excited that he was about to cry, Chen Xiao looked him up and down.

Oda, we haven't singled out for a while, let's try now, this time you are allowed to fight the defense closely.

Now Chen Xiao's mid-range shooting ability is 78, and his strength is 60. Chen Xiao's current shooting anti-interference ability is not comparable to that of the last game against Devin Harris.

Although Braxon's defense is also very good, but with Braxon's close defense, Chen Xiao's mid-range shot can still be hit.

Have you noticed that Chen's CIC has become stronger again!

Braxon is 2.01 meters!

To be precise, it is 2.01 meters and weighs 99 kilograms. Braxon's defensive confrontation is very good. Chen's mid-range shooting stability has become stronger after the game, and it has become stronger by more than one level!

Wade, Ron Howard and other Marquette players watched Chen Xiao and Braxon's heads-up match in amazement.

It was said to be singled out, but in fact Braxon was not allowed to attack and was beaten unilaterally.

However, Braxon still didn't have any complaints, and he was happy with it.

Oda, well done.

Now that the test of his strength is over, Chen Xiao is very satisfied.

At the same time, Chen Xiao was also very satisfied with this follower.

Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the one-on-one task issued by Ao Datei Braxon, and defeating the C-level player Ao Dae Blakeson in a one-on-one match. The task reward is 100 points of basketball experience and 50 career points.

Marquette has yet another breakout D-level player.

It's really nice.

Tom, does the team really not want a center for the next game?

Scott's center team can't win the NCAA championship, Tim, it's time to try our stuff.

At this time, Tom Crean unexpectedly didn't have any anger on his face at the training ground just now.

...

January 2, 2002, Bradley Center, Milwaukee, C-USA opener, Marquette University vs. University of Cincinnati.

In addition to the ACC league, the NCAA likes to put on strong dialogues in the opening games of other major leagues.

The best is a contest between the two strongest teams.

The purpose is to attract the attention of the whole United States.

Every ACC game is a strong dialogue, so there is no need to deliberately choose games to find attraction.

Other alliances do not.

For the appeal of the entire second stage, the first game must catch people's attention.

Marquette University and University of Cincinnati are the two strongest teams in C-USA.

In the Bradley Center, Steve Logan, the best player in the C-USA league last season, looked thoughtfully at the No. 11 Marquette University, who was cheered by the fans, and frowned.

Steve, you are a senior this year, and I am a junior this year, so he will let you have this game.

Leonard...

Don't tell me thank you, you deserve it, come on.

Leonard - Stokes smiled and patted Steve Logan on the shoulder and walked onto the court first.

Looking at Leonard's back, Logan gritted his teeth and clenched his fist tightly.

Thanks.

I will not let you down!
