Chapter 054: The Land of Dreams (Part I)

John Wayne Adams is quickly sorting through the papers in his hands, and as the referee coordinator for this year's NCAA National Men's Basketball Championship, he needs to be responsible for arranging the referees for each region and every game.

He has just emailed a total of 96 judges to officially inform them that they have become judges of the National Championship.

Adams' assistant Chelto Barry kept asking Adams, and Adams took the trouble to explain to him why he had arranged it this way.

"Listen to me, the first round is often the hottest, and the referees in the six major leagues are more resilient to pressure, so we have to arrange for them to enforce as much as possible, because they can withstand the pressure from the fans in the field." Adams knows all too well the horrors of March Madness.

Behind each team is a large number of fans, who are real die-hards, some of them are family and friends of the players, some are school students, some are local citizens, and some are even gamblers who have placed heavy bets......

These people don't want to reason with you, as long as they are slightly dissatisfied with the referee's decision, they will shout black whistle, black whistle, if the referee's ability to resist pressure is not strong, it is very likely to make a wrong decision.

Adams will use live and video recordings to determine the next round of referees after the round of 64, and generate a report to report to the NCAA organizing committee.

At the same time, Adams has to arrange the accommodation and itinerary for each referee to ensure that they are in good mental condition to enforce the law.

"The first play-off game of the year has Curtis Shaw, Mike Stewart and Les Jones in the official, they have a lot of experience and can handle the big scenes, and this kind of opener is always prone to special attention......" Adams took a deep breath and rubbed his eye sockets on the couch after scheduling a series of jobs for his assistant Barry.

Coffee, can't you stop your sleepiness?

……

"It's annoying, everybody's talking about North Carolina, North Carolina." In Houston, where Syracuse University was staying, Jonny Flynn looked unhappy.

His teammate Paul Harris patted him on the shoulder, "Alright, Jonny, after all, they are the most favored team of the four No. 1 seeds. ”

Jonny Flynn was kneading a poster, the March Madness poster, which read: Champion of the sword, there is a kind of blue, called North Carolina Blue......

"Have people forgotten our never-ending game? We don't lose to anyone. Jonny Flynn said.

Paul Harris also looked helpless, and the never-ending game that Jonny Flynn was talking about was a game that Syracuse University played this year that went down in NCAA history.

In this year's Great East Conference semifinals, Syracuse University faced a similar University of Connecticut, and the two teams went through a total of six overtimes to decide the winner, a game that shocked the nation and was also known as the never-ending game, and Jonny Flynn was favored by many scouts because of his heroic multiple saviors.

But what they didn't expect was that they were only the No. 5 seeds in the South Division in the round of 64.

"Even the Davidson Wildcats are ahead of us, I really don't know what these judges think." Jonny Flynn said angrily.

Paul Harris didn't know how to comfort his teammates, "After all, Davidson has a very good center this year......

Davidson, Davidson, all these judges are going to die, why is Stephen Curry in front of me? I'm going to beat him up and prove that I'm the best point guard in the NCAA this year." Jonny Flynn thought to herself as she listened to the song with headphones on.

……

"James, are you still looking at the schedule?" Pera, assistant coach of the Arizona Great Suns Demons, looked at Harden with a serious face and asked.

Since Harden started growing a beard, his stupidity has faded, and now even his teammates are starting to fear him, especially after losing to DeRozan's team in the league division finals......

"We're in the round of 32, and there's a good chance we'll meet the Davidson Wildcats." James Harden said to Pera.

"Hey, James, you're weird, people are talking about North Carolina, North Carolina, but you're the only one who has a soft spot for Davidson, listen to me, boy, we're going to think about how to pull the king off the horse, not to care about a round of 32 game." Assistant coach Pera seems to have extra confidence in Harden.

After all, this child was grown up by him, and Harden has a stability beyond ordinary people.

Harden doesn't agree with Coach Pera, although he respects Coach Pera's assistant, but in his eyes, the game needs to be played one game at a time, and only at the end of the game do you know who will stand at the top.

As for North Carolina, well, it really doesn't seem to be able to beat......

……

"Blake, are you still thinking about losing that game to Davidson?" Looking at Blake Griffin, who has been silent recently, the head coach of the Speedy Teams, Jeff Kapoor, decided that he wanted to enlighten the prospective champion himself.

The White Monster shook its head, "No, I don't think losing to Davidson is a bad thing. ”

Jeff Kapoor looked surprised, Griffin adjusted?

"At least they made me understand that you can't do it alone, right, Coach Jeff?" Blake Griffin asked.

"Yes, Blake, basketball is a team sport, and even the best athletes have their limits, even Michael Jordan needs Scott Pippen." Jeff Kapoor said.

"So, Coach Jeff, I will play the next game strictly according to your tactical requirements, because we will meet North Carolina in the round of 16......" Blake Griffin's eyes suddenly lit up.

is worthy of being the "quasi-champion" that he has always been optimistic about and carefully cultivated, looking at Blake Griffin, who is already setting goals for himself, Jeff Kapoor is very pleased.

"Yes, we're going to meet North Carolina, but Blake, I believe you can pull the king off the horse, and only you have the ability." Jeff Kapoor patted himself on the shoulder.

Me?

What about Lin Yi and Stephen Curry?

Blake Griffin didn't contradict his coach, he just felt that there were too many excellent people in this world.

……

"It's a blessing, DeMar, it's good that we're in the Western Division, and it's ......a pity to hear that James and they were assigned to the Southern Division."

DeMar DeRozan, who was quietly listening to the song, actually heard what his teammates said, but he ignored it.

Because he instead thinks James Harden is lucky.

DeRozan, who is low-key and not good at words, feels that James Harden has not lost to him, but his teammates are better than him......

However, they shouldn't be able to get past North Carolina, right?

I heard that the betting odds of North Carolina winning the championship have come to 1:1.3, which is the most championship-like among all teams, and even the president is North Carolina.

"Cut, Davidson is actually the second seed in the Southern Division...... I can't imagine what the judges are saying, their other players don't even have the strength to play the NBDL, it's really a random evaluation......"

Davidson Wildcat?

DeRozan remembered the game he went to watch live.

They seem to have lost to the Sun Demon, right?

Second seed?

Who knows?
