Chapter 297: Elite Eight
While the Kentucky Wildcats are stirring up the storm, another seed-level powerhouse in the South is also blooming with their brilliance: the University of North Carolina. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info as a producer of Michael. Jordan and James. Worthy's traditional powerhouse, this year they are no weaker than the Kentucky Wildcats in the same Division, and in a way, they have the upper hand, who make their offensive core Jamal Murphy. Mashburn had already participated in the NBA draft last year, and his performance on this bigger stage was quite dazzling, which made the already hot NCAA ball market even more hot. Hill is here, not to mention the fact that this year has added an Asian wearing the No. 5 jersey and a high school student who was in prison not long ago, and now Wake Forest has really become an aircraft carrier, and in the eyes of the NCAA teams, they have also confirmed the nickname of "public enemy number one".
In a secret ballot: more than 70 percent of Americans who have time to follow basketball since March will watch the NCAA Championship, and more than 70 percent of those who watch the tournament will follow the four teams in the upper Syria. However, the Indianapolis guys have also done some practical things, at least the two-seeded teams in these two districts are "interesting" staggered on the matchup, and when the two teams in the same district are going to face each other, it is also a matter of eight into four, as for how to stagger so classic, smart people understand.
Although the dark box operation of the University Sports Association is a bit too obvious, this time no one is protesting against the shady battle order or anything, but the praise is undulating. Sure enough, taking care of the opinions of the majority is a shortcut to success.
Of course, the South and East districts are a bit tragic for the university team that accompanied the prince to study, they lost one-sidedly, and perfectly completed the role of the background board, of course, in terms of difficulty, it is much easier for Wake Forest, after all, they are all five up and five down in the single quarter, although Hill is also playing a game of control points, but this is a little worse than the iron-clad single-quarter substitution on the side of Wake Forest.
However, no matter how young you are, there is an end to it, and the last promotion match in the four regions near the end of March is coming.
The Sweet 16 matchup is as follows:
East Side – Vic Forest Devils Deacons vs. Duke Blue Devils
West Side – University of Arizona Wildcats vs. University of Utah Utah
South Side – University of Kentucky Wildcats vs. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Tar Heels
Midwest – University of Michigan Wolverines vs. Purdue University Boiler Fabricators
According to the situation of this match, Wake Forest in the East has a bigger chance of winning, which even the racial prejudices who are deeply resentful that the yellow race accounts for three-tenths of the main players of the Devils cannot deny, after all, Kenner is still not as much as last year's top pick Christian, even if this year's Hill is stronger, but our Wake Forest is not standing still, and more importantly, we have no weaknesses! Even if the yellow race is unhappy, the extremists who occupy three layers of their own team can only helplessly say a few more complaints, after all, no matter what, the team is on the road to victory, which is the most important. Of course, there are not many people who are prejudiced in this way, and whoever makes this university a well-known comprehensive research university will not be too bad in terms of personal quality, and perhaps this is the reason why Yamada Tadashi chose to study in "Windsor City" in the first place.
The situation in the West Division is a bit interesting, in the original history, these two opponents also played the "Sweet Sixteen", and the final qualifier was the University of Utah's Utah team, and one of the main attackers of the University of Utah is also very interesting Ma.Jian. That's right, it's ma.jian! In the 1993-94 season, he averaged 8.2 points and 3.7 rebounds in 21.8 minutes per game, contributing his part to the NCAA's "Sweet 16" and scoring a career-high NCAA against the University of Arizona, where he scored 21 points and nine rebounds. Now, can the University of Utah win the University of Arizona without ma.jian? It's an interesting question.
The South End is a matchup between the University of Kentucky Wildcats and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Tar Heels. Well, the name of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill team is a good name with a lot of history. Ahem, if Yamada is not mistaken, this time it should be the Wildcats who won and entered the semifinals, but I don't know if the results will change this time.
Next up is the final Midwest Side, the Michigan Wolverines vs. Purdue University Boiler Fabricators. About this... Yamada Tadashi tried hard to think about it when he got the battle situation table, but unfortunately he really couldn't remember this memory clearly, he only remembered the Purdue boiler... The manufacturing team stopped in the round of 16 and didn't go further, and I really can't remember what ended up in Michigan. Well, in his previous life, as a pseudo-fan, you have to understand him. Well, there's something interesting about this game.
Just when Yamada Zhong was in a mood, Rogers and Duncan began to shout again that they wanted to go to the Sichuan Flavor Restaurant to have a meal, and they also called it a beautiful name: a victory feast in advance!
Teammates went to their own store to celebrate, and the money was naturally not easy to collect, obviously they wanted to fight local tyrants again. However, No. 5 in Wake Forest, who is not bad for money now, is not hypocritical, but just shook his head a little funny, and then called Mitsui and Ma.jian, who were still looking at the battle table and meditating, to keep up with the big army in waves.
Assistant coach Bach watched his boys walk out of the basketball hall with their shoulders hooked and back, and shouted "mandarin duck pot or something" in his mouth, and shook his head again and again.
At the same time when the Wake Forest players were consciously exercising one by one to relax, Coach K was burning his brain in his own study.
This time, Coach K once again locked himself in his study and watched the video of this year's Wake Forest game, looking at the number of "butt heads" in the ashtray, and he hadn't watched the video for a while. For a while, there was only a slight mechanical sound from the VCR running in the study, and there was no other noise, and when Coach K frowned and subconsciously looked for a cigarette but couldn't find it, he woke up: Finished smoking?
In fact, he usually doesn't smoke, or it's true that he's a smoker, but he has been smoking since this year. Last year, when the tournament was in full swing (was it the round of 16?) Or the top 8? He had the idea of smoking, and he was so stressed! As a benchmark for the NCAA, the pressure he is carrying can be imagined, in fact, the main inducement is planted by Yamada Tadashi the summer before last, although he himself is not a race-supreme person, but, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes! Although, at the beginning, he did have the idea of alerting the children, losing a little in the first half to kill their pride, and in the second half, "after a fierce battle, it will be overcome".
You know, not long ago (summer of '92), the college team led by Hill, Webb, Houston and others played a warm-up game with the Dream Team, and finally the Dream Team lost carelessly! There's certainly a manager's plan to stop these big names and take their opponents seriously!
Not long after bidding farewell to the Dream Team, a high school team came to ask for advice... After carefully collecting their video footage, Coach K, who was slightly careless, didn't delve too deeply into No. 5, and at that time in the office he cared about Hill's extremely good pride in hiding his feelings. Yes, when the two watched the video together, Coach K noticed that Hill was also a little proud. No matter how they raided the Dream Team at that time, how the Dream Team "released water". In the two games, these college students finally won the dream team! This is indeed something to be proud of, but it is not something to be proud of, and Hill's eyes are full of this pride, although it is not too much or too strong, but Coach K, who strives for perfection, still feels that they should be taken care of. It's a pity that while he was thinking about letting his disciples retract, he couldn't help but be arrogant, although it was only a little bit, but it was this little bit that led to the loss of that game.
When Coach K was thinking about digging a pit for his disciples, he didn't want to accidentally fall into it, he was really unlucky this time! It's a pity that the misfortune is not a one-way street, after the game, there were many old acquaintances who talked about the game in private, and most of the comments were: Michael, this time careless!
The secret is a secret only one person knows, when several senior coaches privately express their personal opinions, they can't keep it secret forever, this undercurrent is slowly surging in the secret, part of the pressure of Coach K is from his peers and friends, after all, there is no impermeable wall in this world, as for the other part, it is probably his perfectionism.
It's a pity that the current Vic Forest is really strong change. state, the strength of the powerful has few loopholes...... Thinking of this section, Coach K, who was walking out of the study, couldn't help but let out a low sigh again.
