Chapter Twenty-Three: Full of Fighting Spirit

Crazy March, this is the most perfect commentary on the NCAA round of 68, the most worthy of the name. Madness is the only theme this March.

From the opening match to the final day, there were only 20 short days. All the best college basketball players in the United States gathered here to fight for the final victory in the most brutal way for twenty days.

???? From the first fight to the final race, the road to victory only takes six races, and you only need to achieve six victories to lift the trophy, which symbolizes the highest honor. But these six games will definitely be the six most intense games of the entire NCAA season!

At this time of year, all basketball people's eyes are drawn to March Madness. Even the NBA can't compare to March Madness in terms of attention.

Fans, scouts, managers and even NBA players will be obsessed with March Madness.

It's a brutal battleground, and if you lose a game, you don't have a chance to start over.

When all these elements come together, you become the most gorgeous basketball game!

In addition to the players, the managers and scouts of the teams will also be quite busy. They have to gather as much information as possible about their opponents, as the NCAA has a much larger team base than the NBA. The opponent standing in front of you may not even be fought once in years.

This year, as the champions of the Big Ten League, the Bulldogs have naturally become the focus of other teams.

The Butler Bulldogs weren't a traditional NCAA basketball powerhouse, they didn't officially join Division 1 until 1962, they were just a small school team, but this season, Junior Coach Stevens led his Cinderella to the 1954 Indiana saga.

On the training ground, everyone is preparing in an orderly manner. In addition to shooting, Yiyang is now spending more and more time in the strength room training.

In March Madness, the intensity of the competition is definitely completely different from what it was before. The intensity of the physical confrontation that Yiyang will suffer will also increase suddenly. Of course, Stevens didn't just let Yiyang practice for March Madness. In the NBA draft later, Yiyang must also prepare with a stronger body.

An hour earlier, the Bulldogs had learned of their opponents in the first round. The University of Texas will compete for a spot in the first round with the Bulldogs!

The players finally got a two-hour break after a morning of training, but at the end of the training, Yiyang found that his teammates' expressions were still serious.

This kind of situation has never been seen by Yiyang before. In fact, Yiyang does not have a very clear concept of the Crazy March event. After all, he used to follow NBA games much more than the NCAA.

"Gordon." Just as Hayward was about to go to the restaurant to eat, he heard Yiyang take the initiative to stop him from behind.

"Hey man, are we going to dinner?" Hayward turned around and hugged Yiyang.

"March Madness...... What exactly is it like? ”

Hayward was stunned for a moment, then his expression became serious again. "We had a good time in the Big Ten last year as well, but March Madness showed us what a real game is. We lost, were eliminated early and went home. At that time, Coach Stevens told us that he said that this season, we have done everything we should have done and now that we have lost this game, all our goals have been accomplished. Don't be sad, because next year, we're going to win them all! ”

After Hayward finished speaking, he stared at Yiyang for a few seconds. "Do your best to win them all, it's March Madness, man! We can do it, right? The white small forward stretched out his left fist.

"Absolutely." Yiyang's fist collided lightly with Hayward.

After a two-hour break, the players returned to the pitch one after another. In the first session of the afternoon, Stevens planned to have a tactical meeting to give the players a full picture of their opponents.

Originally, Stevens also expected to meet a "soft persimmon" in the first round, such as MIT or something.

But unfortunately, the emergence of the University of Texas made the Bulldogs' March Crazy March journey full of thorns at the beginning.

Stevens pressed the start button, and the projector's image was projected onto the white screen. The players watched intently, and a University of Texas game was slowly unfolding.

Yiyang, a guy who was originally "paralyzed", frowned deeper and deeper when watching the game video.

The University of Texas has a star-studded roster, and at the small forward position, they have a sporty perimeter who has a good chance of being drafted in the first round this year. James. Presumably, this guy with an NBA-level body will definitely cause huge trouble for Hayward.

In terms of center, he is 2.11 meters tall and still weighs 129 kilograms after losing weight. Pittman, too, will make the University of Texas' three-second zone extremely tight. Matt, who is relatively thin. Howard, arguably, has encountered a real challenge.

Power forward Derek. Kerry Cotter, a star player who was stronger than Oden and Durant in his freshman year of high school. Although he doesn't have much talent to squeeze in his junior year, there is no doubt that Willie. Wesley's desire to eat this opponent is not so simple.

But in the already star-studded lineup of the University of Texas, the most dazzling guy is the shortest one on the field. And this is also the reason why Yiyang frowned.

Avery. Bradley, and Yiyang are also newcomers to the NCAA this year, one in high school, and was considered by ESPN to be a member of the NCAA. Wall's all-name point guard. Bradley is averaging 11.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game this season and has been named to the Division All-Rookie Team and named to the Division All-Rookie Team.

Don't look at Bradley's data is not as gorgeous as Yiyang, and the honor is not as much as Yiyang. After all, Yiyang was the player who was named to the All-Match Team of the Division, not just a nominee.

But Bradley's really powerful score, the data can't be reflected. Current Celtics head coach Doug Murphy. Rivers once said it in an interview. "Avery is now an NBA-caliber perimeter defender who can defend any No. 1 player in the NCAA."

That's right, that suffocating defense with the ball is what makes Bradley really scary! For Yiyang, encountering such a strong defensive opponent is bound to become a huge challenge!

After the game video ended, Stevens turned off the projector. But Yiyang's mind is still full of pictures of Bradley in the game.

Looking at Yiyang's serious thinking expression, Stevens' heart was full of infinite expectations.

From the first game against Haaland Gaudi to the present, Yiyang can be said to have played quite easily. In the entire Big Ten League, there is no point guard who can make Yiyang feel nervous.

Now, Bradley's solid defense will definitely put Yiyang in trouble like never before. God knows how much power Yiyang can burst out after encountering trouble!

The reason why Stevens is looking forward to it is because this guy Yiyang may surprise him!

Without putting some pressure on him, how can this kid play higher?

"Now, you all know how hard your opponent is to bully." Stevens' voice made the players stop the discussion.

"Give me all the training pitch and give 120 per cent of my hard! Even if Jordan is fucking in front of you in a jersey right now, you're going to have to swallow Jordan alive for me! Win them all! This year, our goal is to win the NCAA Tournament! Let's go, stop grinding around and get your spirits, guys! The words of this young marshal are full of power that can make young people's blood boil!

"Roar!" At this time, Yiyang suddenly roared, and the battle intent condensed in this guy's heart exploded at this moment, and he clenched his fists and rushed to the training ground first. Yiyang's unusual behavior made his teammates even more excited.

Even that cold Yiyang was ignited, and the others were simply a powder keg that could explode at any time!

Stevens, who remained in the office, smiled with satisfaction, and Rivers said that Bradley has NBA-level defense?

Then Yiyang will let everyone see what the real NBA level is!

March Madness has arrived, and for anyone, they will have no choice but to fight.

Either be killed, or kill the opponent. Yiyang, from Wood District, is not a lamb to be slaughtered.

Crazy March doesn't have to be crazy with yellow lightning!
