Chapter Thirty-Eight: Top 8 Opponents and New Items
Wang Xiao and his Harvard varsity team have proved that their strength can indeed be ranked in the top ten in the United States.
And with another win over Davidson College, they're close to the round of 16.
In the name of the United States, it is the "Sweet 16." ”
And their next game is against Wisconsin.
This is a team ranked in the more than 30 in the United States, mainly playing team basketball, the whole team has a tacit understanding and reasonable tactics, but there is a very fatal problem, that is, the whole team does not have a core that can be handled.
Kansas State University has the top pick Michael. Beasley, Davidson College has Curry, who was not favored by scouts, but still joined the NBA with the seventh pick in the future and later won the regular season MVP two years in a row.
Wisconsin, by contrast, doesn't even have a player eyed by scouts.
In other words, if nothing else, none of the main players of this team will participate in the NBA draft, and even if they do, I am afraid there is a high probability that they will be lost.
Older age, mediocre qualifications, low developability.
Although it made it all the way to the round of 16 with team basketball, in the eyes of the media, such a team could hardly be a stumbling block for Harvard.
So people were surprised to find that Harvard, which was not optimistic about many media and thought it was simply a one-day trip to Crazy March, was actually going to enter the elite quarterfinals under the prediction of many media!
This time, the media finally got it right.
The game against Wisconsin was uneventful, and although the opponent's offense and defense were well-balanced and the tactical execution was good, they couldn't stop Jeremy Lin.
That alone can put an end to the suspense.
Jeremy Lin, as the engine of the whole Harvard team, can't stop him, which means that he can't stop Harvard's offense.
At 69:61, Harvard University defeated its opponent bloodlessly and successfully advanced to the elite top 8, which also made the media finally predict correctly in the Harvard University competition.
Unprecedented!
This is the headline chosen by many media outlets when covering the match.
Top 8 in the country! Since the inception of the Ivy League, there has never been such a result.
Not to mention the top 8, even the top 16 has not passed.
It's just that the round of 8 is more shocking than the round of 16, and people can't help but want to know what kind of story is behind this amazing team.
More and more people are surprised to find that behind this amazing team is actually the Chinese madman coach who gave up Oden!
And this coach actually took only half a year to lead Harvard, a team that was almost at the bottom of the Ivy League last year, and has always been invincible!
Even now, the Harvard varsity team coached by Wang Xiao has never tasted failure!
People can't help but wonder how long Wang Xiao and his team can maintain this all-winning record.
In this regard, many media newspapers have given answers.
Next.
The reason is simple.
Along the way, whether it is luck or real strength or something, the opponents that Harvard has always faced are not particularly strong teams, even the strongest Davidson College can only rank 10th in the country.
In the 8-in-4 game, Harvard's opponent was Derrick. The University of Memphis, headed by Ross.
No. 1 in the United States! University of Memphis!
Harvard, who has passed all the way, has finally met a real powerhouse!
This season, the University of Memphis has a dream record of 33 wins and 1 loss in the league, and while it is not the same all-win record as Harvard, Memphis is in a much stronger league than the Ivy League.
No one would have thought that Harvard would be as victorious as ever against the University of Memphis.
……
Frowning slightly, looking at the video of Memphis' game close to the top 8, Wang Xiao and Jack looked at each other.
"Uh, how are we going to fight?"
Jack asked.
"How can you fight? Win and fight. ”
Wang Xiao pouted.
As the No. 1 university in the United States, Wang Xiao has already studied it as early as the NCAA Championship.
Although I am unwilling, I have to admit that the overall strength of the other party is much stronger than Harvard.
There's no way around it, and the University of Memphis has a huge advantage over Harvard because it has a lot of athletic scholarships that can attract a lot of talented players.
The other party's coaching team is also on the right track, from the head coach to the assistant coach, the entire coaching team has 5 people, compared to Wang Xiao and Jack, the two people seem very shabby.
At the heart of the team, Memphis is also different from Kansas State University and Davidson College.
The University of Memphis focuses on dual-core tactics.
Point guard Derek. Ross with small forward C.D. Roberts.
Don't look at Rose's current fame, which looks like stealing the limelight from Beasley, but at the University of Memphis, the number one scorer is Roberts.
In the round of 64, Rose had 17 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, and Roberts had 23 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
Round of 32: Rose 17 points and 9 rebounds, Roberts 17 points.
Round of 16: Rose 27 points, Roberts 25 points.
The dual-core also means that even if one of the opponent's scoring points is contained, the opponent's other scoring point will continue to score with the team.
Such a structure is obviously more reasonable than that led by Havre Lin and Jeremy Single-core.
Facing such a team that surpasses Harvard's overall strength and has more cores than Harvard, Wang Xiao can't think of any good way to deal with it for a while.
"There's no way, I can only hope that Jeremy Lin and Plain can limit the play of these two guys!"
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, the potential of the Harvard varsity team members themselves is there, there is no more growth template card to change their lives, even if Wang Xiao turns on the training system every day, he cannot train all these players to become basketball masters.
In fact, there is an unknown number in this game that Wang Xiao did not tell Jack.
The 8-in-4 match started on April 2.
This also means that once it enters April, the big lottery draw of Wang Xiao's system can be carried out again.
If you can draw something that will help the game this time, it will inevitably be the key to breaking the game.
……
Soon, under Wang Xiao's eagerness, the time finally arrived in April.
He couldn't wait to summon the system and start the monthly lotto draw.
With the rotation of the big lottery wheel, Wang Xiao's heart also rose little by little.
Finally, the roulette wheel stopped little by little under Wang Xiao's gaze.
The expected prompt sound that the high-level items in the lottery would sound did not sound, and Wang Xiao looked at the lottery items with a little disappointment, but couldn't help but be stunned.
"Winning the Coach Prop Card - Voice?"
