Chapter 34 Objectives

Many people didn't expect that Harvard would defeat Kansas State University, which is ranked much higher than them in the United States, so easily, and what they didn't expect was that the ace play of the two teams was so different.

Beasley still scored a double-double of 18 points and 12 rebounds under Plain's strict defense throughout the game, but his 7-of-24 shooting, less than 30% shooting percentage and 5 turnovers proved that Plain really caused a lot of trouble for the league's top scorer who averaged 26 points per game.

In contrast, Jeremy Lin, who calmly faced the bag and clamp tactics, scored 27 points in the game, while also dishing out 11 assists and 4 steals.

Such a game has made many people think, is Harvard University from the Ivy League really as weak as they think?

The media began to hype up the game and analysed the performances of both Jeremy Lin and Plain.

At this time, Wang Xiao and Jack's attention was already on the opponent in the next game.

Winning the first round is just an appetizer, and after reaching the round of 32, Harvard's next round opponent will be much better than Kansas State.

Davidson College, NCAA No. 10 seed.

The star of this team is a sophomore.

But Wang Xiao didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Because the player's name is Stephen. Curry.

Curry's name, which will be famous in the future, almost single-handedly changed the direction of the entire NBA style, making the three-point shot a regular weapon in the game, and leading the Warriors to a 73-9 record in the regular season, breaking the league's best record held by the Bulls!

At that time, Curry was synonymous with three-point shooting, and any team would defend Curry strictly when facing him, and would not dare to give any open three-point shot.

It's just that the super three-point shooter of the future is not taken seriously in the NCAA now.

Scouts generally agree that Curry's thin body struggles to adapt to the intense competition in the NBA, and in '08, three-pointers were still not the dominant scoring method in the league.

So even though Curry averaged 25.9 points per game in the league and shot 43.9 percent from three-point range, he still wasn't taken seriously by scouts.

Only Wang Xiao of the traverser understands how terrible this thin boy is.

In the first round of the tournament, Curry scored 40 points, shooting 14-of-23 from the field and 8-of-11 from three-point range, leading Davidson College to victory over Gonzaga University, which is ranked seventh in the United States.

This team is definitely much stronger than Kansas State University!

With Curry's details in his hand, Wang Xiao pointed to Curry's photo and said to Jeremy Lin.

"Shuhao, you have to remember that this guy is going to be one of your biggest opponents in the NBA."

Jeremy Lin was stunned.

He'd heard that from the coach.

The first time was to study Derek. The second time Rose was videotaped when he saw Russell. Westbrook's game footage.

This is the third time, but it is the most serious that Jeremy Lin has ever seen Wang Xiao.

Clearly, Curry is far more important to the coaches than Rose and Westbrook.

How is this possible?

looked at this childish kid in the photo with some surprise, Rose and Westbrook are both popular candidates for the top spot, the main ace of their respective teams, and this kid Jeremy Lin doesn't even have any image, not as good as Mario in Kansas. Chalmers, North Carolina of Thai. Lawson is known for being a well-known point guard.

However, Jeremy Lin knows very well that the coach's vision is unique, he can take a fancy to himself who is not favored by everyone, and he can also adjust Plain to become the current defensive giant, and then look at the rookie Kevin in the NBA who is favored by him. Durant's performance shows that Wang Xiao's vision is right.

So now that Wang Xiao believes that Curry will be one of his biggest opponents, Jeremy Lin will not slack off.

To be honest, it's not just Curry who was surprised, but Jack as well.

From a coach's point of view, Jack couldn't see any amazing potential in Curry.

This kid's scoring ability is really good, especially the amazing three-point accuracy.

But just such words are not enough to make Wang Xiao attach so much importance to them.

He almost broke down Curry's shooting action into multiple subsections, explaining it to Jeremy Lin section by section, telling Jeremy Lin when and how to defend Curry to make his shooting inaccurate.

Even if it is the top favorite, Beasley, the ace of Kansas State University, Jack has never seen Wang Xiao like this.

When Wang Xiao and others studied the technical characteristics of their opponents in the next round, Harvard University and even the entire Ivy League were already boiling.

Top 32! The NCAA's round of 32!

Not to mention Harvard University, even if you look at the 8 teams in the entire Ivy League, they have never reached the top 32!

Pat is going crazy with excitement!

He never dreamed that a childish bet with Wang Xiao half a year ago would really come true!

NCAA Round of 32! I didn't know how to get it under the leadership of Wang Xiao!

At this moment, Pat felt that his original decision was really too wise, it was definitely a good deal to explode!

What made Pat's heart beat even more violently was that looking at Wang Xiao's appearance, he didn't seem to be satisfied with the top 32! I even want to go on to reach the top 16, top 8, top 4 or even the championship!

Although it seems too incredible, but in the past six months, have there been fewer incredible things?

In case of! Just say just in case!

If Wang Xiao can really lead Harvard to the NCAA Championship......

Pat just thought about it for a moment, and he felt so excited that he couldn't even sit in his seat.

This will definitely write a brilliant stroke on my resume!

But when people talk about this Harvard championship, they will mention the amazing head coach Wang Xiao, and at the same time, they will also mention the discerning President Pat!

All kinds of sensations in the outside world could not affect Wang Xiao and his team members at all.

Because they are on the plane on their way to the next stop at this time.

The NCAA tournament is known as March Madness because of its tight and crazy format.

In just one week, the top 64 in the country will determine the top 4 through a single-stage knockout system, and then decide the overall champion in April!

The tight schedule made the time very tight, and Wang Xiao and the others had no time to go back to Harvard to recuperate, so they could only hurry to the next stop to adapt to the venue as soon as possible.

Tactical explanations for opponents can only be done on airplanes.

It's also thanks to Jack that he has prepared all the information about the opponents he may encounter in advance, otherwise he won't be able to catch up in time.

"Guys."

Wang Xiao looked at his team members and said in a deep voice.

"If we win the next game, we can reach the round of 16, I believe you can do it, and I believe we can keep going, round of 16, round of eight...... Until the championship! ”

"Remember, we're here with one goal, champion!"
