Today is the day when Bai Xiaonian went to the university to report, as an atypical Chinese parent, Bai Sizhe and Shangguanqin still sent their son to the university to report together in accordance with domestic customs.

After quickly completing the admission procedures to the University of California, Los Angeles, Bai Xiaonian couldn't wait to send his parents away, and then changed into sportswear and rushed to the home of the Bruins-Poly Arena.

Today is the day he and Ben Holland agreed to report to the team, although he is not officially joining the Bruins, but it is still a little difficult to hide his excitement at the thought that he is about to compete on a higher platform.

From a distance, he saw the Poly Arena standing in the corner of the stadium, looking at this legendary arena, Bai Xiaonian's heart was surging, it was in this place that the Bruins brought 11 championship trophies to UCLA.

Bai Xiaonian knew that once he stepped into the door of the NCAA, everything would be different from before, this is a top league as fierce as the NBA, and the intensity and level of high school games are absolutely worlds apart, the only difference between the two is that one tends to be commercialized, and the other still maintains the purity in the objective sense.

The NCAA is divided into 31 college leagues in the United States, each college league is made up of about 12 teams, and during the regular season, the teams in each league will play their own home and away games, and then the first place in each league automatically advances to the NCAA round of 64, while the remaining 64 teams are selected by the media and experts to make up the NCAA League top 64 teams for the year.

All teams in the round of 64 will be divided into four divisions: East, West, South and Central West, with the top four teams recognized as the first seeds in each region, and the other schools ranked by the committee as seeds 2-16 according to their strength. After that, the head-to-end matchup is determined (similar to the NBA playoffs bracket arrangement, such as 1st vs. 16th, 2nd vs. 15th, and so on).

Don't think you're relieved that your team is lucky enough to make it to the round of 64, but reaching the round of 64 in the NCAA is just the beginning.

If you want to make a difference in the NBA Draft, then this is the time to play every game with a 12-point spirit.

Because the NCAA round of 64 was born and ushered in the famous Crazy March, during which the major media in the United States will shift their attention, and the live broadcast of the whole United States can only be regarded as commonplace, and even many NBA live broadcasts will make way for the NCAA, so there are not a few young talents who become famous by one goal.

What's more, scouts from all NBA teams attend these games, and they're tasked with selecting new signings for their teams.

If you've had a great run in a limited number of games in March Madness, congratulations, you might have a good pick in the NBA Draft in the future, and even make it to the first round or the lotto.

And a higher pick indicates that you will be selected for your team to focus on, and then have a brighter future.

In the eyes of these extremely discerning scouts, not only personal talent and physical fitness will become the basic assessment criteria, but also the ability to understand and execute tactics is also an important assessment indicator.

Of course, you probably won't have much chance to show your talent in March Madness, after all, the qualifying format after the round of 64 is chilling.

Reaching the round of 64 becomes a pure knockout round, which means that if you accidentally lose one, then there is no chance to make amends, so pack your bags and prepare to come back next year! The pace of the game is also the true meaning of "madness" in March Madness.

Therefore, over the years, how many favorites to win the championship, the super strong team fell on their only abnormal performance, and the next winning team will go through the top 32, the sweet sixteen, the elite eight, and the final four layers of screening, and finally in the pre-selected decisive location, the surviving four teams will go through the semi-finals and finals to determine the final champion.

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 worth celebrating to be able to enter the tournament, and advancing to the Final Four is considered a great honor.

Founded in 1915, UCLA's Pacific League of Ten Universities is the strongest university alliance in the United States, including Stanford University, and has even surpassed the Top Ten League and Ivy League schools in recent years, and has always been in the hegemony of the United States.

But fortunately, in terms of basketball, the Pacific 10 league is not strong, except for the University of Southern California, which poses a slight threat to UCLA, the other schools are not to be feared.

Walking in the door, I looked around at the home of the Bruins, it seemed that I had arrived a little early, the arena was empty, only a few basketballs that had not had time to clean up were lying on the maple floor of the Poly Arena.

Picking up a basketball from the ground, Bai Xiaonian trained by himself, he had long been accustomed to this kind of one-person training.

………

Tyler Honeycart was in a particularly good mood today, yesterday he confessed to the girl he liked in the front square of the school, and even spent an unforgettable night with her last night.

As soon as he walked to the door of the Poly Arena, he heard the clear sound of a basketball hitting the ground from inside the door.

"Huh? Someone came before me! ”

Before Bai Xiaonian came, Honey Carter had always been the earliest and hardest working player of the Bruins, and thanks to his hard training for himself, he now has a strong physical fitness and a very high basketball IQ, and his long arm span gives him a huge deterrent on the defensive end of the court, and his average of 7.2 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game last season is no joke.

Pulling open the door of the arena, Honeycut saw Bai Xiaonian running on the court at a glance, so he folded his hands and looked at the figure on the court with great interest.

Bai Xiaonian, who has always been slow to react, didn't notice that there was a messy guy on the sidelines, and now he was in high spirits, and after continuous dribbling, he raised his hand and shot three points.

However, the basketball bounced out of the basket and ruined this imaginative shot.

The basketball that just happened to bounce fell into the hands of Honeycutter, who was watching the play on the sidelines, and he had already changed into a training uniform, and he also had some itchy hands after watching Bai Xiaonian's riotous performance, so he started directly on the spot, ran into the air, and had a beautiful gliding split!

The basketball hoop was still crunching, Bai Xiaonian was startled by this sudden dunk, and stared at Honeycut hanging on the basket suspiciously, where did this guy come from?

"I've heard from the coach that there will be a very powerful guy in the team this year, it turns out to be you, the white elf of Wellington."

Honeycut let go of the basket and hit the ground with a bang, and said to Bai Xiaonian with a smile.
