Chapter Twenty-Four: March Madness Is Coming

Of course, there are also many media outlets that are not convinced. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

'Sean Lee is a good player, he's been very good on the pitch, especially in recent months, but he's not brucelee. It's not surprising that there are always people on the pitch who have been in good form for a while and have incredible numbers, but they quickly disappear. ”

"Sean may be such a member, how is Sean Lee's physical talent, we have the previous body side data here, except for his outstanding speed, he is weak in other aspects, and he has no possibility of even entering the NBA, maybe his physical fitness has improved a lot now, but the experience of being seriously injured for more than a year in high school makes it difficult not to suspect that he may have serious injury risks."

"What's even more terrifying is how can he convince everyone that he is suitable for playing point guard, in fact, his height, speed, passing, can be called a good small forward, but as a point guard, I believe that neither Chris Paul, Deron Williams, nor Raymond Felton can do better than him."

……

There are many comments like this, which are discriminatory and provocative, and it seems that nothing is said, but in fact everything is said.

Sean's performance as a point guard has nothing to be harsh on, versatile enough, and perhaps the only bad thing is that the shooting is not consistent enough.

But many people are starting to talk about Sean's height.

Approaching two meters tall, you should go to play small forward.

Playing a point guard is bullying.

This made Sean out of his rage.

In an interview with the media, Sean answered directly: "I don't need to make an evaluation of whether I'm a good point guard, in fact, I can explain it by looking at the results and data." I'm going to be in the draft this year, and there's only one position I want to play, point guard, and I won't play anywhere else. ”

Sean doesn't want to play in other positions, which is actually not a difficult place to understand.

In the past, players of what height basically had to play a certain position, and they had to train according to the dispatch of this position, which was the only criterion for evaluating the strength of the players.

But since seven or eight years ago, that standard has changed.

The rise of the Suns' bombardment tactics in previous seasons and the outside shooting of Dirk Nowitzki, the core of the Mavericks, have changed the entire NBA, and in comparison, being too tall on the point guard is not a big deal.

Among the high school students in the United States this year, Kevin Durant, who ranked at the top of the Oak Hill High School, played the small forward position with the height of a center and played extremely well.

There's nothing wrong with playing a point guard with Sean's height. It's just that Chinese Americans have been discriminated against in the United States that so many media have expressed skepticism.

After Sean's interview, the hottest was Coach John.

"Are you serious? Going to the draft next year? ”

Coach John privately called Sean aside, and Sean didn't hide his thoughts and nodded. Coach John was a little depressed:

"There will be a few talented high school students on the team next year, and when USC is a contender for the NCAA championship, I can't imagine that you are going to the draft so soon."

It's really rare for an NCAA freshman to go to the draft.

Generally, it is difficult for freshmen to get the main position in the NCAA and achieve very good results, so under normal circumstances, most of the students are sophomores and juniors who participate in the draft.

Although Sean is the main player now, the draft prospects so far are still uncertain.

…………

As the game progressed, the team's final results became more and more apparent, and in the NCAA regular season, the USC Trojans went 23-6.

It's not a good score, but it's not bad either.

In the end, after the selection of the judges, the Trojans got a place in the top 64, and entering the knockout round of the top 64 also means that the Trojans are a strong team.

But the real test has just begun.

The NCAA knockout tournament is really brutal and very accidental.

Knockout rounds, as the name suggests, have only one game in each round, the loser is eliminated, and the winner advances, and such knockout rounds are sometimes not about the strength of the team, but about luck.

In the NBA playoffs, there are very few 4-0 sweeps in 7 games, which means that even the team that wins the championship often has a probability of winning only seven or eight percent.

In a game, a player who is out of shape, not in good shape, who loses his hand in his shot, etc., will affect the final outcome of the game.

This is very common.

But...... In the NCAA, it is a single knockout game, which means that as long as it is abnormal, it will be eliminated and there is no chance of qualifying, which is very cruel.

It's also very exciting.

The NCAA knockout rounds begin and the nation will enter March Madness, and there is nothing to talk about in this month compared to the March Madness of the NCAA.

Everyone has a team they support, and there are people laughing and crying in every game.

With so many colleges and universities across the United States, there are countless students who graduate, and these graduates will pay attention to their school's competition. Each state has its own university, and the residents of each state follow the players in their hometowns as well as the games of their hometown teams, which is a feast for all.

If the ratings are guaranteed, the media will report wildly, newspapers, magazines, commentators, celebrities, and politicians will participate in it, and there will be a wave of presence.

At this time, the real stars are the ones on the playing field.

The biggest purpose of the NBA draft at the beginning was to select NCAA stars into the NBA and increase ratings, yes, this was the purpose of the NBA draft in the beginning.

After the Trojans confirmed their place in the knockout rounds, they began a training camp for almost professional players.

This time, none of the players expressed dissatisfaction, and everyone worked hard and was eager to try.

And in such a crazy atmosphere, Crazy March is coming.

The first opponent of the USC Trojans also came out, Stanford University. Stanford isn't a strong team in the NCAA, but ...... Not very weak either.

None of the teams that can make it to the round of 64 are weak, and if they are not careful, it is not uncommon for them to go home in the first round of elimination.

But here's the good news...... Stanford is really not a strong team.

If USC is the only time in recent years that it has entered the knockout round, then Stanford University is similar, although it has entered the knockout round a lot in recent years, but it is a first-round tour, a second-round tour, and it is impossible to expect more, so in the face of such an opponent, the Trojans still have hope of winning.

The only bad news is that if the Trojans win, then according to the schedule, the next opponent is Duke University.
