Lu Fei and Gu Tang returned to their respective schools, the campus in Seattle was as calm as ever, and Lu Fei spent every day in training, preparing for the crazy March.

The leagues have basically been played, and the top 31 divisions have automatically qualified for the NCAA round of 64.

The experts of the NCAA organizing committee selected the other 33 teams according to their strength.

On the seventh day of Lu Fei's return to school, two other teams from the Pacific 10 League were drafted to reach the round of 64, and the University of Arizona Wildcats and UCLA were also selected by experts to reach the round of 64.

Anthony Washington complained about the unfairness of the world, they struggled to win the first place in the league to get a chance to reach the round of 64, while the University of Arizona and UCLA were two players who lost and lost but were still comfortable to reach the round of 64 like them.

Lu Fei can see it, after all, the previous records of these two teams are not weak.

If the Huskies don't get the first place, with the Huskies team's record in the past few years, the experts will definitely not choose them to enter the round of 64, so they have to go the only way to get the first place.

The number of places selected by the experts of the 33 organizing committees is also called the expansion of invitations, and the selection of each year is full of controversy.

Although some teams have won 80% of the winning rate, they still can't get an invitation because the league they belong to is a weak chicken league in the NCAA, and most of the teams they play against are weak chicken teams, while some teams only have a 60%-70% win rate, but because the opponents they play against are strong opponents, they will be invited.

The NCAA has a special rating system called RPI, which means Combat Power Index, which is used as an important reference data for the NCAA organizing committee to choose to expand the number of invitations.

The 64 teams are then divided into the Eastern, Western, Central and Western Regions, and Southeast Regions to play a single knockout match in a neutral city, and the knockout round will determine the winner or loser.

The Huskies' first opponent was the University of Vermont at Jon Hensman Center in Salt Lake City.

At the end of each night's practice, Lorenzo Romaal would gather all the players together and study the video footage of the University of Vermont game, watching it one by one, to understand the opponent's tactics, the style and playing habits of each opposing player.

Romgreen came to the team to do the pre-game mobilization: "It is a historic breakthrough for the team to reach the round of 64 as the first team in the league this year, and the school is deeply grateful to all the players for their dedication and contribution. ”

After a few polite words, I began to talk about the actual things.

"In the next competition, for every game won, the school will provide each player with a considerable amount of scholarship to reward them for their hard work for the school's honor."

Lu Fei understands that entering the top 64 school is equivalent to gnawing a big bone, so he naturally has to take it out and share a little meat foam for the players who are struggling on the front line.

Don't think that only the country will squeeze labor, where capitalism is rampant, you can see the ugly faces of capitalists under every ray of sunshine.

It's just that they know how to motivate their employees better.

Over the next few days, everyone on the team worked hard to get into training, and even Anthony Washington, who was usually lazy in training, stopped playing guns at night, and in his own words, he was going to save his right hand for basketball instead of using it in a nihilistic action movie.

At this time, he was defending Lu Fei.

Lu Fei sighed while dribbling: "Even Ellie couldn't let you train so passionately, I didn't expect you to fight for a small bonus." ”

Anthony Washington said with a serious face: "Please don't measure me by money, am I the kind of person whose eyes are full of copper stench?" There is only businessmen who have money in their eyes, and I am a sportsmanlike basketball player, winning the game is my pursuit, and leading the Husky Dogs to the NCAA championship is my dream, please don't insult my personality with money. ”

Lu Fei made a change of direction and said softly: "Rom said to win a game of six thousand dollars. ”

"How much?"

Anthony Washington's eyes lit up, and even the pace of defense slowed down, and Lu Fei easily broke through from his side, and made a quick stop to shoot the basketball into the basket steadily.

Lu Fei looked back after shooting, Anthony Washington was counting there with his fingers, "Six thousand for one game, 12,000 for two, 18,000 for three games, 20,004 for four games, as long as you enter the top 16, you will have 12,000, if you enter the top eight, you will have 18,000, if you enter the final four, you will have 24,000, and there will be bonuses for winning the division championship, maybe there will be 30,000 in the end, and you will send ......."

Lu Fei rolled his eyes, and said okay, don't insult his personality with money?

Lu Fei took a bottle of water and sat aside, and drank it with a slurp.

The setting sun shines through the glass of the arena, and when he first came to the United States, he had just signed his first assistant coaching contract, and looking at the amount on the contract, it was like Anthony Washington now.

He could even see through the glass the running in the sunset, which was his lost youth.

Anthony Washington also sat next to him and said excitedly: "Last time I went to see a Land Rover with Elle, she said that every man should have a Land Rover, and this time the bonus must not be in vain, Lu, you must fight hard, my prize depends on you." ”

Lu Fei made an OK gesture.

But he quickly remembered one thing: "Even if you make it to the final four, your prize money will not be enough for Land Rover......

Before he finished asking, he wanted to give himself a big mouth.

Sure enough, Anthony Washington said shamelessly: "What's there to worry about, you also have bonuses anyway, and Brandon, and Will...... Are you not happy? Don't nod your head, if you don't lend it to me, I won't be able to buy a Land Rover, and if I can't buy a Land Rover, Elle won't love me......"

"Wait."

Lu Fei hurriedly stopped and asked, "Are you with Ellie?" ”

"That's right."

Anthony Washington smirked, "I've got my goddess in my hands." ”

Lu Fei was stunned, feeling that his brain was a little messy, he had only returned to China for a few days, why did this kid suddenly chase Ai Li into his hands, this kind of emotional stupidity also has a time to open up.

"How did you chase it?"

Lu Fei suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Anthony Washington said shyly: "I just did what you said, standing downstairs in Ellie's dormitory and shouting - Ellie, I want to drink your bath water!" ”

"And then?"

"And then? Then a basin of water was poured on my head, but it wasn't Elle, so Elle saw my sincerity and decided to be with me and fall in love. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Uh...... If I hadn't taken the meal card under your pillow and invited Elle to a two-week meal, it would have been such a process. ”

"!"

Lu Fei knew that this thing was a shameless person.

Anthony Washington's wails were heard in the arena, and the rest of his teammates turned their faces away from looking at such a human tragedy.

In the midst of the frolic and the date of the competition with the University of Vermont, it came.
