Chapter 9: Penn in action
Every year in the NCAA, the major divisional events before the tournament (March Madness), that is basically the time for each team to hone their "internal skills".
Putting aside the traditional giants such as North Carolik, every year there will be one or two dark horse teams that silently accumulate energy in the regional competitions and then make a splash in the tournament.
Of course, it is okay for non-giants or even fish belly teams to come out of dark horses, but it is too difficult to win the championship, unless the giants are collectively sluggish, fall off the horse in advance, or there is an unborn genius in the team, otherwise, it is basically a vigorous to attract attention for a while, and then stage a tragic curtain call.
A crazy March of winning and losing is full of miracles and uncertainties, but just because the NCAA mixes well doesn't mean that you can eat well in the NBA. In layman's terms, most of a player's performance in the NCAA is for the NBA draft, and excellent data can help make a good contract for players who aspire to play in the professional league.
But of course, if you have a cow B's father or something, or there is oil and mine at home, then as long as the operation is good, it is not a problem to mix a better order.
For example, if you have a mine at home, you can directly buy a college team and then use you as the core to brush data for two years, and then go back and mix up popularity.
Of course, this is too difficult to actually operate, after all, the NBA needs to be the real thing, not the gold and jade in it.
But at this year's Penn, their waist pole suddenly hardened, and there was a momentum to be a dark horse.
Although their league is also affiliated with the NCAA, and the league champions are also eligible to participate in the tournament, in previous years, even at this level, Penn struggled.
There is no way, after all, the strength is too poor, and although the champions of their league in previous years have entered the bidding competition, they are basically a one-round game.
However, this year's Penn suddenly became bullish, and at the beginning of the divisional league, they actually won 5 consecutive victories in one go, and they all won more than 20+ wins per game!
If this kind of performance were placed in the Big 12 or other famous divisions, a bunch of scouts would probably have flocked to the tournament and then praised the players by the way.
But here, their performance was nothing more than an understatement in the newspapers: "The University of Pennsylvania has once again won the game." ”
However, this is exactly what Pennsylvania people want, to be a dark horse, it naturally has to be in the championship to make sense!
And the young coach Coach D, Han Miao, who is an important contributor to the 5-game winning streak, is naturally very well protected, and replaces him every time he only lets him play for 20 minutes, so he can't wait for Han Miao to play every time he wears a hood.
But for Han Miao, 20 minutes is enough.
14 assists, 13 assists, 15 assists...... With him, assists seem to have become commonplace, and almost every pass, it can be converted into a score.
However, perhaps because the tandem work is too good, Han Miao's scoring data is not high, and he barely reaches an average of 10 points per game after five games.
Therefore, Penn won the game, and the most outstanding scoring data was three-point shooter William Lanstrour, who averaged 17.8 points per game in five games! On average, you can hit 4 three-pointers in a game!
And David Royce, the No. 2 ace blue-collar center who could only take "8+8" in the team, was fed into a standard big center with an average of "13+11" per game!
It seems that Penn has two more super masters in an instant!
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that these two have not improved much compared to last year, and the score can be improved, purely because there is a person who can pass the ball to feed them cakes.
However, in all fairness, people who generally watch the excitement will still see the score for the first time, after all, basketball ultimately depends on scoring to determine the winner, and although the assist is good, there are not many people who appreciate it.
Although Han Miao is also a little helpless, there is no way, in his current badge, except for "Single Fast Attack" and "Ankle Finisher", there are too few that can be directly used on offense.
Moreover, the situation he is facing now is actually very serious.
It's okay if you don't score much, but the weird thing is that as a point guard, this guy's free throws are not very accurate now......
No way, who let him not unlock the "free throw ace" now.
"Host, can you make a little difference, your current level is seriously biased."
System Xiaohui will not let go of any opportunity to complain about Han Miao, its belly is so black that Han Miao almost knelt.
To unlock a Bronze Badge, it takes 15,000 proficiency! (For reference, in the game, the unlocked bronze in 2K18 is 12000, and 19 is 5000)
And the bronze to silver has risen to 45,000 unkindly! Silver to gold costs 90,000! The Hall of Fame needs 180,000!
Especially if Han Miao enters the system space for training, he can only get 900 proficiency points for three stars at a time, 450 for two stars, 150 for one star, and four chances a day, which also means that he can only get 3600 points a day at most! And there is no guarantee of 3600 points every day, the worst case is only 600 points of guaranteed proficiency, and there is also a very serious problem here that the same badge cannot be trained repeatedly in the system space......
Therefore, he spent every day of his training in the past three months on the "free throw ace", but he still hasn't unlocked it yet...... No way, in the internal training of the system, the free throw just doesn't go in, no matter how beautiful the action is, it's useless, and a common saying in 2K18 players is that you can't kill the green bar!
However, there are only a few hundred points of proficiency left to unlock the free throw ace, and I believe that there will be one more badge soon.
Of course, because the system can only practice four times a day, this means that Han Miao has to put a lot of energy into training and competing in real life. After all, in the game, the proficiency converted from scoring rebounds and assists is very high, 1 point is equal to 50 proficiency, 1 rebound and 1 assist are 100 proficiency, and the system will automatically unlock different badges according to Han Miao's specific performance in the arena.
When Han Miao is currently training, he is more about practicing physical fitness and strength, which is commonly known as "iron".
Because as a point guard, his passing, dribbling, and big-picture view are already at the level of the NBA's top-notch practice, and what is needed now is to improve his physical confrontation ability.
Therefore, when the team trained, he was basically working out silently on the side, after all, the body is the capital, and now he has no more badges in terms of physical fitness except for the King Kong that he sent and the outstanding.
It's no wonder that the team's trainer gave him this assessment:
"Ordinary people with extraordinary ball control."
However, according to his current iron strength, before the competition, Han Miao can unlock at least 3 more body badges - infinite strength, galloping, and leaping into the sky.
That's right, these three correspond to power, speed, and bounce.
The Hall of Fame-level is infinitely powerful, the classic representatives are O'Neill and Ben Wallace, the Hall of Fame-level is galloping, the classic representatives are Iverson and T.J. Ford, and the Hall of Fame-level sky, the classic representatives are Carter and "Potato" Webb.
As long as these three badges are practiced to the gold level, then it is not bad to match the Hall of Fame-level King Kong, then Han Miao can basically walk sideways in the NBA, and he is not afraid of any injuries! (Although they are all Hall of Fame, Han Miao's King Kong is not bad and more powerful than James's, it is a dark purple that completely eliminates injuries, and James's is a normal purple, but in theory it can completely eliminate injuries)
"Xiao Hui, besides me, is there anyone in the NBA who these three badges are all gold and there are people who are not bad at gold or above?" Han Miao asked in her heart.
"Yes, the former Chamberlain, the current James, you can only be counted as the third."
"Shrimp? Lao Zhan too? Then I'll practice it later, isn't it the point guard version of him? Han Miao was taken aback.
"Well, physically, that's right, but technically it's different, at least you're going to be better with the ball and passing than him, like now, you've passed more than him." What System Xiaohui said, if a point guard can't even pass the ball, then what kind of basketball is he playing? You may be able to make more money selling fried noodles at highway intersections.
"Hehe, thank you for your comfort......"
Han Miao raised the dumbbell while "humming" while complaining in her heart and system.
However, from time to time, he will also yell at his teammates who practice tactics on the field twice to remind them to pay attention to their running position, and the coach's current tactics are very clear, as long as these people are familiar with running, they don't have to worry about not receiving the ball from their side.
The current Penn is the kind of person who silently makes a fortune, and everyone is holding their breath and preparing to do things at the tournament - ruthlessly!
