Chapter Fifty-Eight: March Madness

Before you know it, a winter break is quickly over. Li Qiang also ushered in a new semester.

In the past month or so, Li Qiang has returned to China for three weeks before the Spring Festival. Of course, one of the most important purposes is Liu Mengqi, you know.

During this period, Li Qiang saw Huang Jun, Zeng Ze and other junior high school classmates and Du Xin, Chen Hanjun and other high school classmates go to karaoke together, and also played confrontation matches with teammates from the school team and the provincial team, and ate a few meals together.

Several of Li Qiang's good friends, such as the beast king Zhenyu, the little hooligan Liu Shiyu, the third-time player Yang Bin, etc., were surprised to find that Li Qiang's strength had made a leap compared to when he was in China before! Today's Li Qiang is faster, jumps higher, and has stronger strength!

Moreover, Li Qiang's playing style has become more direct, violent, and ferocious from the elegance of the past three-point shot!

Li Qiang reduced the number of three points and increased the frequency of breakthroughs. They don't know that this is of course related to the tough style of playing in the United States, and it is also related to Li Qiang's cultivation of the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon.

Eighteen palms of the dragon, to the sun and the sun! Invincible!

Li Qiang's parents were also very pleased. Some of Mr. Li's deeds in the United States can occasionally be seen in Chinese newspapers.

Seeing such a son who won glory for the country standing in front of him alive, he couldn't help but smile. The relatives of Li Qiang's parents are also more enthusiastic about Li Qiang than before. After all, this is an existence that wants to become Yao Ming's successor in the NBA!

What they don't know is that the person in front of them is about to become a great existence that will rewrite the entire world basketball history. He will eventually become the eternal emperor of the entire basketball world.

Now, Li Qiang is back in the United States. Li Qiang's eyes are full of confidence and focus, and he must lead the Michigan team to win the National Collegiate Basketball League this semester and win the second championship trophy in his career!

What Li Qiang doesn't know is how lethal this kind of confident and focused eyes will be for a person of the opposite sex.

In the fourth week of school, Li Qiang finally led the Michigan team to complete the round-robin friendly match and the league's internal qualifying match for the strongest teams in the United States. The Michigan team did not hinder their way to the first place within the league and directly qualified for the NCCA Tournament, also known as "March Madness"!

In recent months, the Michigan team set the myth of the longest unbeaten streak of thirty-three wins in the history of NCCA basketball, until the absence of Li Qiang's poor form in Game 34, Copperfeitch and two of the quartet led to the Michigan team being defeated by the top-five St. Louis Anna team.

However, after that, the Michigan team never lost again at home or away, and finally became the biggest favorite to win the NCCA championship this year with an immortal record of 39 wins and one defeat!

And Li Qiang has become the NBA's recognized top pick in the next season's draft! Not a hit, but unanimously recognized by almost everyone! Because there is not even a single other draft player who has the strength to compete with Li Qiang!

Li Qiang played more minutes on average throughout the national round-robin friendly games and internal qualifying games, reaching 26 minutes, averaging 27 points, 5.3 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 7.2 three-pointers and shooting 4.0, with a three-point shooting rate of 56% and an overall shooting rate of 64%.

It's going to be a crazy March! All schools will compete in a duel according to the ranking and the first to catch the pair! The rule here is a single-game elimination system! - Go home if you lose a game!

The speed with which the teams eliminated was staggering, and that's what March Madness is all about.

And this March NCCA will also attract the attention of the people of the United States. Because the elite of the entire society basically graduated from these schools! No one can fail to pay attention to their alma mater and make it to the NCCA Basketball Semifinals!

That's why NCCA's Finals even boast higher ratings than the NBA! In the finals, even the Olympic view of the sea cannot be left behind!

Due to the use of the first and last catch system, the Michigan team faced opponents who were relatively weak among the advancing teams, so the Michigan team overcame all the obstacles all the way, and there was no hindrance!

From the round of 64 to the Sweet 16, to the Elite Eight, and then to the FinalFour, Michigan has returned with the momentum of the king, and each of the four games is a big score from the start!

Li Qiang finally stopped hiding clumsy, playing every five minutes of the game, and he could cut 20+ within 15 minutes of playing in the first half. Almost single-handedly led the team to directly destroy the opponent's psychological defense. At halftime, Michigan was already leading by more than a dozen points. In the second half, Li Qiang discussed with Nilopa and let the remaining five people solve it.

Now, in the semifinals of the Final Four, Michigan has finally met its first challenge, a strong team from the East, the Miami Tigers!
