Chapter 59: Sweet 16!
Of course, after the last round of competition, a number of universities were eliminated, and now there are only eight teams left for the second round of competition.
The eight Southern Side pairs are: Georgetown University (1), Duke (2), St. John's (9), Utah (5), Iowa State (6), Iowa (7), Gonzaga (4), Southern Methodist (10)
Then it will be played according to the rules of the previous round, 1-10, 2-9.
So next, Georgetown University will take on the challenge of Southern Methodist University!
(I really can't find the names of the players in these teams, I don't know what to do, I always replace it with a certain team, I'm very annoyed, if someone knows how to check, leave a message to tell me, if there is a draft favorite player...... What am I going to do!!! )
Due to the disparity in strength, the Marvel team single-handedly won the Southern Methodist University, destroyed them, and stepped on their bodies to directly advance to the top 16 in the country!
In the round of 16, the competition between the giants will become more and more fierce, and the excitement of the game will be different from the past, some games may be broadcast live in the United States, and it is said that after the Super Bowl, it will be the NCAA basketball finals.
It's unprecedented, and if you want to make it to the final, it's definitely very, very good.
Li Qian contributed 6 three-pointers in this game, becoming the player with the most three-point shots in the NCAA this year, ranking 7th on the scoring list, and the top 6 are all first-class scorers.
In this game, Li Qian got 29 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 steals.
For example, Iguodala, who is now with the Warriors, does not score much, but that does not mean that he can't score, he is not relentless in key moments, his contribution to defense is obvious to all, and he also won the 2014-2015 Finals MVP, which he deserves.
Stephen suppressed the Southern Methodist interior in this game, scoring 20+10 stats, plus 5 blocks.
Vale was in a slump, scoring just 9 points and 1 rebound, while Axey was in a decent performance, scoring 15 points and 5 assists.
The bench contributed 10 points.
The Marvel team won with ease, and it is worth mentioning that Li Qian set a new three-point record at Georgetown University, and he is now Georgetown's No. 1 three-point shooter.
The last 16 teams are: 1. Kansas vs. Georgetown University, Kansas are currently on a 16-game winning streak, the longest still running record in the Division I league
2. Miami vs Villanova Miami If Miami beats Villanova, it will be the first time in school history that it has reached the quarterfinals
3. Duke vs Oregon Duke holds the most wins against the No. 1 seed in NCAA tournament history (9)
4. The Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma Texas A&M Championship has a record of 0 wins and 4 losses against the No. 2 seed, and a win would have the first quarterfinals in school history
5. Iowa State vs Virginia Iowa State has a record of 0 wins and 3 losses against the No. 1 seed, and both lost to the tournament winners that year
6. The match between Gonchatga and Syracuse is a matchup between both teams seeded under the No. 10, a situation that has only happened 3 times in the history of previous NCAA tournament round of 16 matches
7. Wisconsin vs Notre Dame Wisconsin is the only team to have reached the round of 16 in each of the last 3 seasons
8. North Carolina vs. Indiana The last time the two teams faced off in a tournament was in 1984 - Indiana defeated North Carolina and ended Jordan's college career.
Next, the Marvel Team will battle the University of Kansas to qualify for the Top 8!
What Kansas need to defend is their power forward Petty Ellis (PE), and their offensive players on the forward line are very fierce, so the role of Vale in this game will be crucial.
Time is of course passing slowly, and they will face the University of Kansas.
The game is about to start, players from both sides have arrived one after another to warm up, Li Qian every time he warms up, he will try various angles, shoot three-pointers, feel how he feels today.
In any case, Li Qian's three-point shooting rate has now increased to 51% of the shooting rate, ranking first in the NCAA, of course, the number exceeds the regulations, so it can be ranked, otherwise it is impossible to appear on the leaderboard if he hits 1 shot and has a 100% shooting rate.
"Look, who is this?" A beautiful woman with blond hair and a formal dress walked up to Li Qian's side, patted Li Qian, and said happily.
Li Qian turned his head and meowed, it turned out to be Taylor, why did she come, Li Qian was a little puzzled.
Taylor seemed to see Li Qian's question, and immediately explained: "I'm here for an interview, there is no other task today, I am in charge of the interview for this game, do you want to have a pre-game interview?" ”
"Uh, okay?" Li Qian was a little at a loss, looked at Taylor's eyes, and said nono.
"How many points do you think you can score in this game? Or rather, how many points will it take to help OR's team win? Before Li Qian was ready, Taylor began to ask, and she maintained a professional smile and said to Mike in her hand.
"Ahh I think we can win the game by playing beautiful basketball together and working together. Li Qian was a little nervous, frowned, and then asked calmly.
"Yes, basketball is a team, I like your answer very much, thank you for being able to accept my interview, I won't bother you to warm up." Taylor could hear that Li Qian was very smart when he said this, everyone wants to win the game and pull their teammates, which is the best.
Taylor then went to Kansas to interview PE and asked him if he was scared of a three-point player in college with the best three-point player in college.
And PE said that they will do everything they can to prevent him, create trouble for him, make him uncomfortable, and that's it.
Soon the game will begin, and the DJ on the scene will start announcing the starting lineups of each team.
Kansas starting lineup: Center - LandenLucas (hereinafter referred to as LL) power forward PE, small forward Wayne SeldenJr (hereinafter referred to as WSJ) point guard Devonte Graham (hereinafter referred to as DG) point guard (unknown. Virtual Name WH)
Marvel starting lineup: Center - Stephen, Power Forward - Hall, Small Forward - Larry Ville, Scoring Guard - Li Qian, Point Guard - Axey
This game will be a tough one, and whether or not you can win this game will depend on the perseverance and desire of both sides.
The University of Kansas' forward line is so powerful that Stephen and Weir need to take on a lot of responsibility, and Hall's biggest role for the team is to grab rebounds.
Hall can not attack, but he can't lose the frontcourt and backcourt boards, and again, he needs to go out and take the pressure off Stephen.
This game is a competition between the guard line and the forward line, and the forward line of the Marvel team is obviously one notch lower, so it is time to attack, and it has to rely on the play of Akxi and Li Qian.
The game starts, the referee's whistle blows, and the center forwards of both sides jump the ball!
