Li Qiang quickly got to know several players on his Michigan team.

ranked first, Copperfecchi, Hispanic origin, with the same curly hair as Ronaldo, the original absolute main force of the team, 1.96 meters tall and 100 kilograms in weight, an all-round master who can shoot and grab, and his idol is also James. This person has good strength, only slightly weaker than the three masters of the training camp such as Polles, Braque, and Kearney. Li Qiang estimated that Duan Longcheng had the strength of his level when he arrived at university.

Next are the four Michigan giants tied for a row:

Ba Si Pa, a 2.08 meter big center responsible for the inside and rebounding;

Swani, 2.02m, a small forward of the small type of Xiaosi, with flexible speed and excellent interior;

Rajes, 1.93 meters, a good breakthrough hand with outstanding bounce;

Solomon, 1.88 meters, is a good long-range shooter, and three points and two points are good.

Li Qiang feels that their strength is a notch worse than Copperfecchi, but it is also similar to Bartlet, Li Tiange, and Li Bing.

The coach of the team is Nilopa, who has a lot of experience and is good at using people. Nilopa praised Li Qiang's incredible physical fitness and precise training shooting skills, and was surprised that Li Qiang had such a strong strength at such a young age of only 16 years old. Immediately listed Li Qiang as a key training object. Li Qiang also has a good impression of Nilopa, and the two are very compatible.

Li Qiang also learned from his teammates and coaches what kind of game the NCB is about. There are hundreds of universities in the United States, and the number of universities participating in this competition is more than 100.

Due to the large number of schools and the mixed league field, the strength of each team is very open, and the difference in strength between players is huge. Generally speaking, the strength of the three fierce men of the South China team, the high school and provincial teams is now enough to serve as the starter of an ordinary university. And when they enter the university, they can become masters of the university team.

However, since this league brings together masters from all over the world, the powerful characters in it are also very strong. The three strongest are Braque, Pores and Li Qiang. (A.T. Kearney went to school in Europe and only came to the United States during the summer.) ）

Next, there are more than a dozen players at the level of Copperfeczi. They continue to hone in on the team that should be able to get into the MBA right away. With a little bit of practice, it's possible to become a starter, or even an NBA star. After all, more than half of the NBA's star colleges are from the United States. I believe that Duan Longcheng should at least reach this level when he enters college, and it is also very promising to come to the NBA to become a star in the future. More than half of the NBA's stars of their age will be born among them. Teams with players at this level are often stronger. Michigan and Caltech, for example, are ranked in the top 20 in the nation because they each have such a player.

Next are those players who have reached Duanlongcheng's current strength in high school, and there are dozens of them. Li Tiange, Li Bing and others should also have this strength if they enter the university and come to the United States. When they enter an ordinary school team, they will immediately become the core and main force.

And then there's the quality of the Michigan Four. There are more players like this, and it is not unusual. But if you join an ordinary school team, you can also play a small main role. Li Qiang is looking forward to Wang Zhenyu if he comes to the United States to study at university, he should be able to at least mix such an identity. When the time comes, Li Qiang will be able to meet this best friend.

The NCAA has a long history and some very "unique" traditions. Whether it is the team's regular season division, the selection and division method of the playoff team, or the brutal single-game elimination system in the playoffs, and the rules of the game that are obviously different from FIBA and NBA (Weibo), they all seem to have their own traditional characteristics.

The NCAA basketball season begins in late November each year, usually ends around early March, followed by a month of "March Madness." During the regular season, each institution plays a member of their respective league twice, home and away; Each institution will also choose to fight against some schools outside the alliance to improve its own strength and build momentum for itself.

When the regular season ends, most leagues generally take the top eight teams from the league to play a single-elimination league championship match, and the winner of the league championship battle is basically automatically qualified for the NCAA tournament. With the exception of the automatic promotion of the champions of each league, the remaining spots in the NCAA tournament are determined by the committee, known as an expanded invitation. The eligibility for invitations is basically determined by the record and the strength of the alliance.

After the list of the top 64 is determined, all the shortlisted teams will be divided into four divisions: East, West, South and Central West.

The recognized top four are the first seeds in each district, and the other schools are ranked by the committee as seeds 2-16. After that, the matchups are determined by a catch-to-match method (similar to the NBA playoffs, such as 1st vs. 16th, 2nd vs. 15th, and so on), and a single-elimination format is used to duel - lose one game and go home, and the speed of elimination is very surprising, which is the true meaning of "March Madness".

The NCAA Tournament is divided into three phases, the first of which is the first and second rounds, with a rapid elimination from the round of 64 to the round of 16.

Also known as the Sweet Sixteen, the Round of 16 will garner a higher level of attention as they progress to Phase 2, which is also a stage where players who want to draft can attract more exposure and more scouts.

In the second stage, the Sweet 16 will be eliminated to the Elite Eight, and then the Final Four will be selected.

In the end, the final four will go through the semi-finals and finals to determine the champion at the pre-selected final location.

The winner-or-lose format makes the game particularly fierce and brutal, but also has an unparalleled charm. The Final Four is the biggest stage in the NCAA, and for teams that are not traditional elite schools, it is already a great celebration to be able to enter the tournament, and it is a great honor to advance to the Final Four.
