Chapter 12: A Race to Decide the Champion

Match after match, and for now, it's not clear who will be the champion of the Ivy League.

The current top three are Yale 23-3, Harvard 22-4, and the University of Pennsylvania 21-5. With only two games left to decide the real champion, it seems really difficult right now.

None of Yale's remaining two opponents are good at it, especially the last one, which is currently the second Harvard University. Harvard has lost one of its four games to Yale, and the final game between the two teams is likely to decide the championship.

Yale's next opponent is underdogs Columbia, who had narrowly beaten Columbia University by three points on the road. Judging from the comparison of the strength of the two teams, it is not difficult for Yale University to win this game, and this time it is still a home game.

However, they are actually more concerned about the match between Harvard University and Chanel University on the same day, because if Harvard University loses the game, Yale University will directly win the Ivy League championship and directly enter the NCAA round of 64, achieving the glory of team history! However, if Harvard wins the game, Yale will have no choice but to beat Harvard in the final game, or else they will have to rely on an extra game to decide the championship.

In short, the best outcome is to win the remaining two games so that they can achieve their goals.

……

With Sneider's scientific physical training, the Yale University players actually feel their own improvement, especially Sun Xiaotian, Sneijder has implemented special "care" for him according to the advice of the coaching staff, and the requirements for him are also the highest.

After Sun Xiaotian implemented the new physical training, he obviously felt that his body was different from before, especially when he was able to easily push the opponent away when he broke through with this defender. If this had been placed before, it would have been him who could have flown out.

Therefore, in view of the improvement of his physical function, Sun Xiaotian's means in the attack are more abundant, and he deliberately increased the frequency of breakthroughs in the next games, and the proportion of breakthrough points in the total score has increased significantly from the original 43% to the current 54%.

To measure the strength of a player's upper limbs, the bench press is an important reference. Sun Xiaotian's previous maximum bench press was 97 kilograms, which was below the average standard. His current bench press is 101 kilograms. What is this feeling? We can compare Maddie at his peak, Maddie's maximum bench press value at his peak was 120 kg, which is even higher than some interior players, and Xiao Si's extreme bench press value is only 117 kg.

Although the current Sun Xiaotian cannot be compared with idols, it at least shows one problem, that is, Sun Xiaotian's body has slowly become stronger.

On the day of the Yale University vs. Columbia University match, the Yale University Coliseum was flooded with a lot of media, fans, and even some mysterious guests. The manager of the team secretly told Sun Xiaotian before the game, saying that these people were NBA scouts, and they were here for Sun Xiaotian.

In fact, for the arrival of scouts, Sun Xiaotian really has mixed feelings in his heart, which is mainly related to his cultural courses. Originally, he wanted to achieve early graduation within a year through his own efforts, but the reality was that he thought it was too simple. He has already put in a lot of hard work, but how can it be so easy to complete the four years of college in one year! Judging from the teacher's advice, Sun Xiaotian will need to stay at Yale University for at least a year before he can successfully obtain his degree. So in Sun Xiaotian's view, these scouts came for nothing.

The game went well, and everything was in the rhythm of Yale. Sun Xiaotian didn't score much, he tried his best to help his teammates score on the court, and before halftime, Yale University had already scored almost 60 points, and Sun Xiaotian himself actually handed out 8 assists.

With a lead of more than 20 points, Yale entered the second half, and the situation remained the same, with Columbia University not resisting at all. Sun Xiaotian didn't play much time in the first half, and Heywood just wanted him to rest as much as possible and focus on the final game.

In the end, Yale University won by a big score, which was expected by everyone. As soon as everyone finished the game, they all ran to the locker room to watch the game between Harvard University and Chanel University. To everyone's disappointment, Chanel University was still 11 points behind Harvard with eight minutes left in the game. At this time, the bulldogs all became fans of Chanel.

As the game between the two sides continued, just when everyone thought that Chanel University did not have much hope, Chanel University suddenly made a force and made 4 consecutive three-pointers to bring the score closer to 4 points. Not only did the audience cheer on the screen, but even the dressing room at Yale University was boiling, waving towels and shouting "Chanel!" Chanel! ”

The two sides went back and forth, and the four-point gap lasted for another two minutes, and with 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the game, Chanel finally relied on free throws to close the score to only 2 points. Harvard was forced to call a timeout, and the TV gave the camera to Giman Schutt, the soul of Harvard.

"This ball will definitely be given to Giman Schut!" Joe yelled from the sidelines.

"That's right! He feels so good, 7 of 12 shots! ”

Sure enough, after the timeout, Giman Schutt still used his tireless running to shake off the defenders and jump up to shoot without waiting.

"Huh!" The ball is in! It's a 2-point shot! And this wave of attacks took only 4 seconds.

"That's amazing! This is a god-level getaway! Everyone shouted.

Truly! Gimanschut's running and shooting are very good, and it is no wonder that he was born into a basketball family. Sun Xiaotian secretly decided in his heart that he must stare at Gilman Schutt in the next game, once he finds his touch, the consequences will be fatal.

"Huh!" Chanel University returned a 2 points, the score difference is still 2 points, and there are only more than 37 seconds left in the game time, it stands to reason that Chanel University still has time, but don't forget, the first round of the University League offensive time is 35 seconds, which means that even if Chanel University successfully prevents a wave of attacks from the opponent, there are only 2 seconds left when they arrive. Therefore, Chanel University should try to scramble as much as possible, strive for early opponent mistakes or break the ball, and if it doesn't work, it must hurry up to foul tactics.

……

In the end, Chanel fell short and failed to make a comeback. In this case, the ultimate showdown between Yale and Harvard will inevitably be staged. If Yale wins the final game, it will be Yale's first NCAA round of 64 since joining the Ivy League. If Yale loses, they will be tied with Harvard 24-4, and the two sides will play an extra game to determine the eventual champion, and if that happens, anything could happen.

All of them, only in this one!!
