Chapter 84: Top 16

The draw is over, and the time has come to March, the long-awaited crazy March, is here......

The first round of UCLA has also arrived, with a home game against the University of Pennsylvania.

In the face of the University of Pennsylvania, UCLA did not make any effort at all, and the University of Pennsylvania did not have the capital to fight with UCLA.

UCLA played steadily throughout the game, leaving no chance for Pennsylvania, and with Meng Xiaohao and Sarid working together, UCLA easily defeated the University of Pennsylvania and advanced to the round of 16.

As Coach Chris said, the draw was like sending UCLA directly to the round of 16, and even if the University of Pennsylvania resisted stubbornly, they still couldn't compete with UCLA, which had Meng Xiaohao and Sarid, and finally lost.

But the UCLA vs. Pennsylvania game was nothing to watch after all. For example, Duke University vs. Stanford University, the two teams played very badly.

Duke University has superstars, and Stanford University is the same, the two sides fought back and forth, very anxious, but in the end, it was still Duke University who caught Stanford's mistake in the final moments of the game and took the game away.

University of Oregon vs. Georgetown University, at the beginning of the game, Georgetown University took the lead and directly played a wave of 12-3 start, directly beating the University of Oregon to the north, but the University of Oregon went through a series of adjustments, and the team was on the right track at the same time in attack and defense.

But the most surprising thing in the first round of the top 32 was Brooke's Harvard University, which faced the University of Southern California, which ranked fourth in the Pacific League.

Before the game, many pundits and media believed that USC would win the game, because even though USC was fourth, it was in the Pacific League. Harvard University? Lost five games in the Ivy League, compared to USC? Let's owe some heat!

All the media are looking down on Harvard, but Harvard University has slapped the experts and the media in the face.

They defeated the University of Southern California......

All the media and experts, including the fans, are confused, this is simply impossible, what are you kidding? Harvard University defeated USC? Did USC collect money? Match-fixing?

But the truth is, it is, Harvard did win against USC, and although the process was brutal, they did win.

USC and Harvard have met six times in the collegiate basketball league head-to-head record, and USC has won the game while Harvard has a zero win rate.

But this time it's different, because this time, Harvard has Brooke.

Many people think that no matter how strong you are Brooke, that is, a king with a bunch of bronze, but although the University of Southern California does not have a king, there are still a lot of master diamonds, and no matter how strong you are, you can't take five people to be strong with you.

But Brooke proved with facts that basketball is not a game, and although basketball is a sport of five people, occasionally, one person can slaughter five people!

In the whole game, Brooke only rested for three minutes, and the rest of the time he was on the court, and he used his sharp breakthroughs, and unsolvable mid-range shots and three-pointers, to beat the entire USC into a daze, this game, Brooke looked at a terrifying 43 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists of quasi-triple-double data.

What is the concept of 43 points?

It was the third-highest scoring record in a single game since the start of the American college basketball league, and the top two were both in antiquity, in the sixties and seventies of the last century.

Since the legend of the University of North Carolina in the 80s of the last century, college basketball has begun to focus on team competition, and individual heroism has been greatly reduced, so that few players can get high scores. But this time, Harvard completely handed over the ball to Brooke and let him handle the ball, unlimited firing rights, transmission rights, the ball was in his hands, and he could play as he wanted.

This move by Harvard University completely liberated Brooke's nature, and his desire to score and win began to expand infinitely.

In this way, Brooke relied on his excellent hand to bring up the hand of his teammates, which made the hand of the other members of Harvard University also warm up.

In the end, USC failed to withstand Harvard's monstrous offensive and was eventually defeated and unfortunately eliminated.

After this game, the entire American basketball world exploded, and everyone was shocked by Brooke's 43-point slash against USC. They think that although Brooke is strong, it is not like this, which is simply terrifying.

But Brooke is just that scary.

Brooke's 43-point score and victory over USC to lead Harvard to the round of 16 are inextricably linked to Harvard's coaching.

The coach at Harvard University chose to bet, and since the odds of winning are slim, why not take a bet? He put all the treasure on Brooke, and he chose to believe in Brooke, believing that he would be the savior of Harvard University, and believing that he would lead Harvard University to create miracles.

Of course, Brooke did not disappoint the coach, and throughout the game Brooke seemed to be possessed by God, and also brought a buff to his teammates (used in the game, increase status), so that his teammates also fired on their firepower and led Harvard University to victory.

Now, the media and experts have changed their previous misperception of Brooke, and have begun to be optimistic about Brooke, believing that Brooke can lead Harvard University to a further step.

(The media is really wall-to-wall.) οΌ‰

However, some experts still doubt that Harvard can perform miracles again, and they recognize Brooke, believing that Brooke will definitely play in the North American league in the future, but they are still pessimistic about the future of Harvard this season.

A good team is made up of a group of great players and a good coach, which is the most basic configuration of a basketball team, but those experts believe that Harvard University can't play any other than Brooke, which is not up to the standard of a good team.

But these discussions are all in the past, Brooke will not spend too much time with them, and he will not pay attention to these things all the time, his goal now is only to win, to win, and that's all, these things can only distract him, so he is only hungry and chooses not to watch.

UCLA Training Gym ......

UCLA's 16-in-8 opponent has come out and is the first in the Atlantic League, the University of North Carolina.

The University of North Carolina faced the University of San Francisco in the 32-16 game, and because of the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the University of North Carolina won the game without much effort.

"Boys, we're going to play North Carolina next away, the University of North Carolina, the traditional giants, the strong, for so many years, are strong contenders for the championship, so we can't take it lightly, you know?" Coach Chris brought everyone together for a motivational speech.

The team members all nodded......

"Good!" Coach Chris smiled, "I believe that since we drew the first game to the University of Pennsylvania, then we have been blessed by God, and I believe that this season's championship must be ours!" ”

Coach Chris clenched his fists, excited.

"Although the University of North Carolina is a strong opponent, we are not afraid of them, you know, even if it is as strong as the University of Oregon, it is all folded in our hands, so even if it is the University of North Carolina, we are not afraid!"

"So we're going to show the spirit of the twelve! We have to win! ”

β€œUCLA!”

"Never give up!"

The 16-8 game is coming, and a more brutal fight is about to be staged
