"Students, the schedule is down!" During an evening session two days after the physical test, Coach Chris came to the training hall with an A4 piece of paper.

"Come, come, come! Come and meet me! Coach Chris clapped his hands, "Big deal! Hurry up! ”

It was up to the players to put down the training in their hands and walk quickly to Chris.

Chris tapped on the A4 paper in his hand and showed it to the players, "The schedule has been announced, I have printed a copy, I will send it to you later, and I promise that each of you will have a copy!" ”

As he spoke, Chris coughed his throat, "I'll tell you who your first match is now!" ”

Just look at Chris paused, "Stanford!" ”

"Stanford?" Meng Xiaohao, who heard the opponent's name, didn't feel anything, he didn't know the strength of Stanford University in the college league, but he saw Sured who twitched the corners of his mouth upward.

"Are they strong?" Meng Xiaohao asked Sarid.

"He was the biggest obstacle for us to become division champions last year." Sarid sneered, "But we still beat him down." ”

"That means it's a bit of strength, right?"

Sured nodded, "Last year they had two very good first-year combinations, and after the college league, they didn't go to the North American League draft, but chose to play for another year, which was quite surprising!" ”

"In the first game, we will meet opponents of the same level, it seems that we are not bad luck!" Hearing that Sarid has a high recognition of the Stanford basketball team, Meng Xiaohao can't help but look forward to the upcoming game.

"The feud between Stanford University and us has been going on for a long time, and judging from the historical confrontation, we are now winning more and losing less, and I hope you will maintain this advantage!" Chris continued on top.

"We still have a grudge against Stanford?" Meng Xiaohao was a little taken aback and turned his head to look at Sarid.

Sarid nodded, "You are in China, you don't know, seven or eight years ago, UCLA and Stanford University had a vicious brawl in a college league game, which had a very big impact in the United States at that time. ”

"So there's still such a thing!" Meng Xiaohao smiled, he didn't expect that the universities in the American College League would have this kind of story.

At this time, Chris sent the schedule down......

Meng Xiaohao looked at the schedule, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Why are these teams repeated in this schedule?" Isn't there a lot of teams in the college league? ”

Looking at Meng Xiaohao's question, Rivers on the side was a little puzzled, "Don't you know the schedule of the college league?" ”

Meng Xiaohao glanced at Rivers and shook his head, "I only know that after the top thirty-two, there will be an elimination system, and I don't know the rest." ”

"So be it!" As he spoke, Rivers hugged Meng Xiaohao over, "Just let me, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, teach you, my little brother, about the schedule of the American College Basketball League!" ”

Just look at Riverston, "The American college basketball league is divided into eight divisions, namely the Pacific League, the Atlantic League, the Eastern Conference, the West 12 League, the Northeast League, the Southwest League, the Middle 12 League and the Ivy League, and there are twelve teams in each league. For example, UCLA and Stanford University belong to the Pacific Alliance. ”

"We in the Pacific Alliance have us and Stanford, and what other schools are USC, the University of Washington, the University of Oregon, the University of Arizona, and the University of Utah, and so on, which are the schools that you see on the schedule."

"The schedule of the American College Basketball League is arranged like this, first of all, it is played in the division, each team has to play one home and away game with other teams, each team needs to play 22 games, win one and get three points, lose one without points, and the top four in the points ranking will enter the round of 32."

"It turned out to be a point system...... Meng Xiaohao touched his chin, "It's different from our high school league?" ”

"Of course it's different!" Rivers glanced at Meng Xiaohao, and then said, "After entering the top thirty-two, the single-game elimination system that you know has begun!" But this match is also particular about both sides! The champion of the eight divisions, who is also the first team in the division, will be drawn from the fourth team in the eight divisions, and the second team in the points will be drawn from the third place, and there will be a draw after advancing to the round of 16, but it will not be ranked according to the division. ”

Meng Xiaohao nodded, "It's like the playoffs!" ”

"That's pretty much it!" Rivers gasped for breath, "That's basically it, understand?" If you don't understand this, your tongue will be in vain! ”

……

End of evening training......

Meng Xiaohao walked on the way back to the dormitory.

"This schedule is really a bells and whistles!" Meng Xiaohao took the schedule in his hand and suddenly laughed, "But this kind of schedule looks more interesting, doesn't it?" ”

"Interesting?" At this time, a voice came from behind Meng Xiaohao, which frightened Meng Xiaohao, Meng Xiaohao turned his head and found that it was Surid.

"Can you not be so scary, I didn't hear your footsteps when you were so close to me, look at you so big, I didn't expect the sound of walking to be quite small!"

"Heh, you're so big, I'm a muscle, not fat!" Sarid glanced at Meng Xiaohao, sped up two steps and walked side by side with Meng Xiaohao.

"By the way, what did you mean by that, I don't really understand?" Meng Xiaohao didn't quite understand why Sarid said, "Interesting?" ”

Sarid smiled, but then his face became serious, "The divisional civil war, from the end of November to the end of February, three months, a total of twenty-two games, eight games in December, seven games in January and February, the schedule is not very rushed!" ”

"Does that have anything to do with you saying it's funny?" Meng Xiaohao felt that what Sarid was saying now had nothing to do with what he had just said.

"Do you think it's a long schedule?" Sarid asked.

Meng Xiaohao shook his head, "Compared to the North American Alliance, it's really nothing!" ”

"Although the schedule is not long and relatively easy, do you know how many people have lost in tears in this short schedule?"

Meng Xiaohao shook his head.

"The college league is completely different from the professional league, the professional league wants to chase the championship, as long as you don't play very badly and don't get injured easily, you have more than ten years to chase the championship, but the college league is different, you can't stay in college all the time, so you only have four years, and when you graduate, that championship trophy is completely out of touch with you!"

Meng Xiaohao looked at the very serious Sured, these words were something he never thought of, he didn't really care about the championship of the college league, he just wanted to play well in the college league, and then be able to get the attention of the professional team, that's all, the championship or something, Meng Xiaohao didn't think about it. He thought that if he played well and finished his freshman year, he would go to the North American League draft.

"Why did the Stanford duo stay until sophomores? Why did I stay until my sophomore year? Why didn't Rivers drop out of the team in his senior year? It's all for that trophy! "In the eyes of us Americans, the college league is more important than the professional league, because he only has four years, and it's not just the players who are partnering with you, they may be teachers, or workers, or company employees in the future." The college league is not like the professional league, which is full of commercialization, they are more about the passion of youth, the friendship of peers, and basketball in its purest form! You think it's funny, but we value it! ”

Meng Xiaohao looked at Sarid in a daze.

"I know your little thoughts!" Sarid patted Meng Xiaohao on the shoulder, "I know you don't value this championship very much, but we are different from you, we attach great importance to this, so I want you to go all out, of course, I know you will also go all out for your dreams, but I still want to talk to you, please!" ”

Meng Xiaohao was suddenly happy when he heard this, he knew that Sarid had misunderstood him, he meant that the competition system was very interesting, not the college league was interesting, but he still nodded, "I know your dedication to this championship, of course I will do my best!" As long as we are serious ......"

At this time, Meng Xiaohao paused......

"Champions are within reach!"
