Chapter 273: Coach Dave's hesitation

NCAA, or National Collegiate Athletic Association, is an association of thousands of colleges and universities in the United States, and its main activities are various sports leagues held every year, the most popular of which is the basketball league in the first half of the year and the football league in the second half of the year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 More than 1,000 four-year universities in the United States and Canada are divided into three levels and ten leagues to compete in ball leagues such as football, baseball, basketball, and ice hockey, as well as track and field, gymnastics, wrestling, and other sports. The NCAA league is the most important event for college students in the United States after studying.

First of all, the first level: it has high requirements for the school, it must support 7 or more men's and women's teams, or 6 men's teams and 8 women's teams, in addition, the annual competition is secondary and a certain number of teams of the same level, the schools participating in this level of events are basically large schools, and as a large school, you can give scholarships to sports specialties to attract more outstanding student athletes to join. The first division of the league includes: Eastern League, Atlantic Coast League, Atlantic Sun League, Atlantic 10 League, Great East League, Big Sky League, Great Southern League, Big Ten League, Big 12 League, Great West League, Colonial Athletic League, American League, Super West League, Horizon League, Independent Schools, Ivy League, Atlantic City Athletic League, Middle League, East Central Conference, Mississippi Valley League, Mountain-Pacific Sports Federation, Western Mountain League, Northeast League, Ohio Valley League, Pacific Twelve, Patriots, Southeastern League, Southern League, Southern Lands League, Southwest Athletic League, Summit League, Sunbelt League, West Coast League, Western Athletic League. Among them, the Great Eastern League, the Pacific 12 League, the Big 10 League, the Big 12 League, the Atlantic Coast League, and the Southeast League are the top leagues in the first division, and their league champions have limited rights to participate in the cup playoffs, which can be described as the crown of the crown.

The second-tier academies are mainly small and medium-sized public universities and private universities, and the colleges can provide funds for athletes.

The third-tier colleges are dominated by four-year liberal arts colleges and small private universities, as well as some community colleges, which generally have no fixed funding, and these schools have fewer competitions, but some of them are still quite competitive. It's worth mentioning that Majian had previously played in the third tier (Utah Community College main player).

If the NCAA Division 1 member game is compared to the NBA level, then the Level 2 and even Level 3 college team games are the Level 2 League (only established in 01), this metaphor may be a bit advanced, but in essence it is still quite close, playing for Division 3 college basketball players, if there is a first-level college want people, they will generally be released, which is similar to the Division 2 league.

No matter how competitive the NCAA is right now, we don't care about him, Wake Forest's ACC league has a lot of powerhouses, Clemson University Tigers, Duke University Blue Devils, University of Maryland Terrapines, University of North Carolina Tar Heels, North Carolina State University Wolves, University of Virginia Cavalry, Georgia Tech Hornets, Florida State University Seminoles and Wake Forest University Devils Deacons.

Among them, North Carolina and Duke are one line higher than Vic, and Georgia Tech led by Marbury ranks fourth in the league and follows the phoenix tail of Wake Forest, this year Dave wants to lead Wake Forest to win the ACC championship is not a smooth road, the ACC league is the top league in the first division, and his championship can go straight to the national championship, of course, even if he does not win the ACC championship, he is not disqualified from participating in the national championship, and then he will have to compare the winning rate and the quality of the victory (opponent strength), anyway, it is a very troublesome thing. However, now it is different, on the bench there is Huang. Jordan Tadashi Yamada and Allen, who have just passed the hot discussion, think that this year's rotation time will not be as embarrassing as last year's.

In the coach's office, Dave is still thinking about today's starting lineup, although the starting rotation has been set a long time ago, and that is at the end of October, but whenever he thinks of putting a strong point like Tadashi Yamada in the rotation lineup, he will hesitate, which is a happy annoyance.

........

Center, Ben. Wallace, the first meat shield in the NCAA, has great strength, top-level card position skills, and first-class defense under the basket, but unfortunately, the offensive end is only a threat under the basket. Personal goal this season: to increase the range and method of the offensive end while taking into account the existing strengths, and become a better defender of the basket. (Voices from Beyond the Sky: Heavy Shields Become Thorn Shields?) )

Power forward, Tim. Duncan, whose offensive range is all over the penalty line, needs to be improved in the mid-range and passing, has solid fundamentals in terms of game performance, strong physical fitness, and excellent defensive positioning, he is already a top three power forward in the NCAA, and he is a well-deserved interior axis in Wake Forest.

Small forward, Rodney. Rodgers, with strong projection ability, advantages - shooting, especially his three-point shooting is very accurate, disadvantages - average organizational ability, not good at breaking through with the ball, soft personality does not like physical confrontation, and the heart is not big enough at critical moments. Last year's tournament four-in-two against Michigan saw a drop in shooting percentage in the middle of the battle, with both a whistle press and a quasi-whistle miss, but it was more than enough as the team's third scorer.

Shooting guard, Stephen. Jackson, the team's best breaker, has a relatively stable mid-range, qualified passing ability, and can shoot three-pointers when necessary, although not too stable, good top defense, excellent follow-up defense, but he is impulsive in character, and is positioned in Wake Forest - a very good second-in-command.

Point guard, Chauncey. Billups, excellent defense, especially when defending tall players, good mid-range, qualified three-point shots, excellent performance in organizational transmission and rhythm control, shortcomings - there are not many ways to break through short players, especially the excellent combination of man and ball, fast speed, however, he is fully qualified as the team's main control.

Rotation point guard, Allen. Iverson, even if he is just a point guard, he is still on the short side, lacks projection ability, has a stable offensive range only within the free throw line, is very good at hitting the basket, his combination of people and speed are top-notch, which greatly hides the problem of his narrow offensive hot zone, and his height will be the biggest hole in the rotation lineup on the defensive end.

Rotation quarterback, Mitsui Shou, as a scoring guard, his height is slightly inferior, his body is too thin, and his ball control and passing are only on the qualified line. If you want to find merit in him... I am afraid that it is only a three-point shot, and if it is only about shooting confidence, his confidence may be better than Rodney's, but unfortunately his body is too thin... Maybe it's time to plan for him to gain weight.

Rotation small forward, Ruben. Patterson, a good blue-collar player, a solid mid-range, is only an average level of back-to-back singles, but he is not bad on the defensive end, and he has excellent defensive stickiness, and he may not be close if he is put in the starting line of Wake Forest, but it is just right for him to be the defensive swingman in the rotation.

Rotating power forwards, the monster named Tadashi Yamada is composed of excellent back-to-back offense plus absolute step-back jumpers, excellent basket positioning, top-notch rebounding, excellent passing, top-notch playmaking skills, excellent passing options and a cool head.

Rotation center, Majian, seems to be technically comprehensive, can shoot, can break through, can grab boards, can go fast, can pass, but after all, he is a little worse in confrontation, slightly inferior to Ruben at the same level, and is the weakest link in Wake Forest at present.

........

These ten people are the main players of Wake Forest this season, and if you talk about the lineup alone, this is definitely the first class in the current NCAA, but the game is not a card game that can be won or lost as long as the size is compared.

On Saturday 13th November 1993, at 1pm, Wake Forest's season opener was about to begin.
