In front of ED-Stefanski's desk is a cactus ball that the team has freshly ordered for him, with a few pale yellow stamens in the middle of the flower, exuding an inaudible fragrance.

"Smack!" He put down the scouting report in his hand, rubbed his head, and leaned back in the rocking chair behind him.

The 76ers have had a hard time this season, after the All-Star break, the difficult schedule and the injury of the players have caused the team's record to plummet, and now it is only in the tenth place in the East, with a win rate of less than 4%, and it is getting farther and farther away from the playoffs. You must know that in the first two seasons, the 76ers were still an excellent team in the East, and even fought six games against the Magic who reached the Finals last year.

"It's hard!" Stefanski took a deep puff of his cigarette, snuffed out the butt in the ashtray, and then exhaled a large puff of smoke and let out a sigh of emotion.

Seeing that the playoffs are hopeless, the team's old coach is not guaranteed, and if he continues to look dead next season, it is estimated that he will be attacked next.

"Forty percent win rate, fish belly, rotten, lotto." Stefansch's mind kept racing through his mind, and it was hard to make up his mind between rushing for a respectable win to quell the anger of the fans and winning the June draft pick could change the team's fortunes.

His eyes fell on the reports of the would-be draft players that the 76ers scouts had gathered for him on the table.

His breathing grew rapid, as if he had seen some rare treasure, and his eyes glowed faintly, "If it's really like what Edra said, then it seems that it is okay to give it a go!" ”

Stefanski remembered the glory days of the current Rockets owner, since the selection of Yao Ming in 02, it has become a team with a huge population market. The so-called making money to earn hand cramps refers to this Alexander who was hit by a pie and became the envy of most NBA bosses.

If the 76ers can become like the Rockets, then their position is still as precarious as the Pacific Ocean? Stephański shook his head vigorously, throwing the tantalizing thought out of his mind.

"First of all, he has to have the strength to become an All-Star and become Yao!" Stefanski knows very well that the NBA is wrapped in a glamorous commercial atmosphere, but it is still a competitive league in essence, and fans always focus on the strong, and players with good work ethics always care about winning the game.

His fingers ran over the player's report on the table, and the two-inch photo showed the sunny and bright smile of the young man.

"Tang Wenlong's main point guard at Syracuse University, the champion of the Great Eastern League, is interesting, interesting~"

After the regular season of the league, it is the well-known league tournament.

And the time has officially entered March!

In the Great East Conference Championship, as the top four in the league's regular season, Syracuse University directly enters the quarterfinals, and the other twelve teams, the ninth to sixteenth seeds, participate in the first round of the competition, and then fight against the fifth seed to the eighth seed to determine the four places.

This tournament is somewhat similar to the warm-up tryouts before March Madness, where tournament winners from all 31 leagues automatically earn a spot in the March Madness NCAA National Tournament.

Of course, for such a strong Syracuse University this season, even if they fail to win the league championship, the NCAA's official selection committee will definitely select them into the final 65 spots to participate in the tournament, after all, the latter is now the number one spot in the national rankings.

Strange to say, Syracuse University may really have swept the entire Great East Conference this season, in the quarterfinals, the DePaul University Witchers, who came up in the first two rounds of dark horse posture, were blasted out of a 17-4 shock wave by Syracuse University at the beginning, and the momentum of the No. 14 seed dark horse was suppressed at once.

After that, Syracuse University easily won the quarterfinals and advanced to the Final Four of the Great East Conference Championship.

The top four are also old faces from previous leagues, such as the Georgetown University Marvels, such as the Cincinnati University Bears, and the Marquette University Golden Eagles.

Tang Wenlong is now very familiar with some of his classmates in these universities, such as Jimmy Butler, the black charcoal head of Marquette University, and Lance Stephenson of the University of Cincinnati, both of whom have impressed Tang Wenlong with their defenses.

However, the victory still belongs to Syracuse University, and Wesley Johnson is like a hanger, indulging in his superhuman physical talent on the court, and what is even more commendable is that he also has a good ball handling technique and long-range shooting ability, and basically there is no No. 4 position in the NCAA that can compete with him.

In the Grand East Conference Championship Finals, Syracuse University once again met Georgetown University.

Including the warm-up games, this is the fourth time the two teams have met this season, and in the NBA, only teams in the same division have such a record of fighting so often.

The new hatred and old hatred are counted together, and the two teams are simply red-eyed.

It's a pity that Tang Wenlong, like the bitter master of Georgetown University, came out of nowhere again, scoring 23 points and 12 assists, shattering Georgetown University's dream of winning the league championship.

Greg Monroe left the arena depressed, accidentally tripped and almost fell while heading out.

He felt that nothing good would happen to Syracuse University, and seeing the NCAA National Championship open, he wouldn't meet them again in a qualifying tournament, right?

Monroe was faintly a little painful, and his willingness to participate in the draft was unprecedentedly strong

At the same time, the outside media strongly promoted the three main forces of Syracuse University, and with the help of some people, Tang Wenlong officially surpassed Andy Rustin and ranked behind Wesley Johnson to become the second key figure in Syracuse University. The draft market of the two men, after beating Georgetown University, has reached the top 14, with Wesley Johnson in 9th and Tang Wenlong in 13th.

On March 17, the NCAA National Championship officially began.

The opening match was Merwinslott University vs. Kansas Lind, the traditional 65-team qualifier before the two teams met each other, not because of how strong the stars were on their team, but because the selection committee ranked the two teams as the weakest.

The weakest team must have the weakest consciousness, and the dark horse is not so easy to be.

But the good news is that at least on the day of the much-anticipated opening game, only two of them played each other, and the exposure was simply 100 percent.

Syracuse University is placed in the East Side, the No. 1 seed in the entire East Side.

After the opening game, on the 19th, 32 teams competed on the basketball court at the same time, and the NCAA tournament in March Madness entered a hot state in an instant.

The next day, Syracuse University, the No. 1 seed, faced the winner of the opening match, Kansas Lind.

75-47, the gap between the two teams was too big, and the strong Syracuse University defeated the team that had received a full range of media attention on the day of the opening game without much effort.

At the same time, the remaining 30 teams are ranked according to the seed, and the high position plays against the low position, and the battle is brutal.

Under this system, losing one game means that you can only go home to fish, which can be called crazy to the extreme.

And the dark horse has become the most eye-catching term in March Madness, everyone worships civilian heroes, and everyone wants to see the good show of the sling's counterattack.

Not to mention, there are several dark horses that are not big or small, such as Tang Wenlong's old acquaintance Marquette University, as the No. 6 seed, lost to the No. 11 seed of the University of Washington.

Quincy Pondset, the little-known brat, tore the entire Marquette University defense apart with his precise jumpers and incisive breakaways. At this time, Jimmy Butler, who could only stay on the bench, could only watch the team swallow this fatal defeat with helpless eyes.

He suddenly remembered the yellow-skinned kid at Syracuse University who was always entangled with him, "This kid must be making fun of me." Butler felt like he had itchy teeth.

It is reported that after this game, Bombsett's draft market entered the top 60 for the first time, and many NBA teams are interested in him.

Soon after, the second round was played on March 21, with 16 of the 32 teams to decide the victory, all battling it out on the basketball court at the same time.

The frequency of the battles is comparable to the back-to-back games in the NBA, and the crazy name has once again shocked the world.

Especially because of Tang Wenlong, Chinese fans who began to pay attention to the NCAA game were even more surprised, before that, fans' perception of March Madness was only stuck in the suffix of March, but they did not realize that the key to this is actually the word crazy.

On the 22nd, Syracuse University played against No. 8 seed Gonzaga University and won easily 87-65.

In the first half, Gonzagaga was still able to hang tightly behind Syracuse University 28-32, but in the second half, Tang Wenlong suddenly broke out and scored 8 points in a row, leading the team to play a 15-2 shock wave, and locked the leading position of the game, and the difference once stretched to more than 30 points.

Tang Wenlong met Gonzaga University's main center on the court, 7-foot-tall bald center Robert Thackeray, who performed well in this game, scoring 18 points, 9 rebounds and 4 steals, and single-handedly turned Syracuse's interior line upside down, which was the biggest reason why Gonzaga University took the lead in the first half.

"If I had Andy, I wouldn't necessarily lose!" When Thackeray talked to Tang Wenlong at the end of the game, he said viciously that he was helpless to Andy Rustin, who shot six three-pointers in the second half, but he was not convinced by Tang Wenlong.

Tang Wenlong was stunned, but he was not angry, thinking that this big man was quite funny.

After the game, Tang Wenlong heard the biggest news that happened in the NCAA today!

The University of Kansas, which was previously ranked No. 1 seed in the Central and Western Regions and No. 2 seed in the United States, has always been an imaginary rival of Syracuse University, but lost to the No. 9 seed University of Northern Iowa!
