Although Parker scored a game-high 28 points, 6 rebounds, plus 5 assists, 25+5+5 is a dominating statistic.

But the most dazzling thing this time was in Parker's mistake, Zhang Zifeng, who defeated the University of Notre Dame with a rebound and helped Duke University win.

The only regret was that Duke University won, and the University of Louisville Cardinals won.

In the end, Duke University entered the league championship as the second-place player in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

After the game, he flew back to North Carolina by special plane from Indiana, and after getting off the plane, Zheng Xinguo was already waiting outside the airport.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng in the car, Zheng Xinguo said. "Kaede, congratulations on making it to the league tournament."

"Thanks, but just to get to the league tournament. And the NCAA tournament is waiting for me! Zhang Zifeng said with a smile.

"Yes, but whether it's a league tournament or an NCAA tournament, I want you to pay attention to two things!" Zheng Xinguo said solemnly.

"What?"

"One is to do your best in the game, don't work too hard. The second is not to get hurt! Zheng Xinguo said.

"Why, the single-game elimination system, isn't it time to fight with all your might. If you lose, you won't stand a chance! Zhang Zifeng said puzzled.

"What are you fighting so hard to qualify for the NCAA Tournament? Isn't it just that you want to be recognized by those scouts in NBA clubs and then be selected in the conference? ”

"That's right, that's why I have to play seriously and let them see it!"

"No, no, no! Kaede, you have to understand that scouting players is a very difficult, very detail-oriented job, and it is a job that requires long-term observation. The NCAA tournament is a single elimination, which is fraught with serendipity. For those scouts, it can only be used as a reference, and it is not clear whether there is a 20% weighting. For them, the regular season is the most informative. ”

Seeing that Zhang Zifeng was a little puzzled, Zheng Xinguo explained in detail, "The NBA is not a single-game knockout system, it has more and longer events, and it pays more attention to a player's physical fitness, potential, and ability to continue to perform, rather than the outbreak of one or two games." When an NBA team is interested in a player, their scouts are scouting you for the whole season, rather than making hasty decisions in a few games. You see how many of the NBA's high-pick drafts have played in the NCAA Final Four, and even some of them have not played in the NCAA tournament to make it to the top three. How many people who have won MOP awards have lost in the NBA, just like Hancock last year, who won the NCAA championship and MOP, what can he do, he is not afraid to participate in the draft this year. Why, it's because the scouts don't think well of him. ”

"The basic scouting was done in the regular season, and the tournament was only a reference for those scouts, but it was not necessary. So in tournaments you just have to do your best and the most important thing is not to get hurt. Injuries to players can have a big impact on draft picks, and not many club managers will gamble on players with injury hazards at the expense of their valuable draft picks. Do you understand? ”

Zhang Zifeng sighed when he heard it and nodded.

When the regular season ends, the NCAA Division I leagues, with the exception of the Big West League, which was formed in 2008, each have an automatic entry spot, usually won by the league tournament winner.

Generally speaking, most leagues will take the top eight teams in the league to play the league championship in a single-elimination format, and the champion who is determined by the league championship battle will basically automatically qualify for the NCAA tournament.

The only exception is the Ivy League, as they don't have league tournaments, where automatic entry spots go to the regular season winners.

In addition to the automatic promotion of the champions of each league, the remaining 37 spots are officially authorized by the NCAA to be selected by the selection committee.

The selection committee determines whether a team qualifies for the tournament based on factors such as record, league strength, and schedule, as well as the specific seeding ranking. The eligibility for invitations is basically determined by the record and the strength of the alliance. It's called an expanded invitation.

For example, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) is recognized as the strongest league, and although there is only one automatic entry spot, the selection committee usually invites three or four ACC teams to participate in the NCAA tournament.

There were even a few years when the league invited 6 teams with a total of 7 ACC teams to participate in the NCAA tournament that year.

There are only 15 teams in the ACC, which shows how strong the ACC is and how fierce the competition is.

There are some minor changes to the Atlantic Coast League's league tournament system, with eight teams chasing the league title.

However, in the first and second rounds of the league tournament, the top four teams in the regular season automatically become the No. 1-4 seeds, and they will be rested in this round.

The remaining 11 teams will go through a single knockout round to determine 4 teams to participate in the next round.

In the third round, the eight teams were seeded 1-8 according to their regular season rankings.

The quarter-finals are played by No. 1 seed - No. 8 seed, No. 2 seed - No. 7 seed...... In this mode, the top four, champions and runners-up are determined through a single-elimination system.

The most terrifying thing is that in order to catch up with the NCAA Championship, the ACC will start from the quarterfinals to the finals, and these four games will be very tight, and it may even be four games in four days to decide the winner or loser.

This is a great test of the players' fitness, will, and bench depth.

Duke University has a 30-5 record this season, ranking second in the Atlantic Conference and automatically becoming the No. 2 seed.

On March 12, 2014, the ACC Championship was held today with three first round matches:

(No. 10 seed) Wake Forest University Devils Deacons 92 : 73 (No. 15 seed) Boston College Hawks

(No. 11 seed) Georgia Tech Hornets 59 : 61 (No. 14 seed) University of Pittsburgh Panthers

(No. 12 seed) Clemson University Tigers 75 : 61 (No. 13 seed) North Carolina State University Wolves

On March 13, 2014, the ACC Championship today features four second round matches:

No. 8 seed Syracuse University Orange People 57 : 62 No. 9 seed Virginia Tech Hodge

No. 10 seed Wake Forest University Devils Deacons 90 : 99 No. 7 seed University of Miami Hurricanes of Florida

No. 12 seed Clemson University Tigers 72 : 79 No. 5 seed Florida State University Seminoles

No. 14 seed University of Pittsburgh Panthers 63 : 75 No. 6 seed University of Virginia Cavalry

After two days and seven fierce battles, the top eight of the ACC League were finally decided. The third round of the league will start on March 15. Opponents:

No. 1 seed University of Louisville Cardinals: No. 8 seed Virginia Tech Hodge

No. 2 seed Duke University Blue Devils: No. 7 seed University of Florida Miami Hurricanes

No. 3 seed Notre Dame belligerent Irish: No. 6 seed University of Virginia Cavalry

No. 4 seed University of North Carolina Tar Heel: No. 5 seed Florida State University Seminole Team
