Chapter Seventy-Six: March Madness

In January, "Stanford University" played a total of 9 games and won all of them, alarming the strong teams in other regions. Since then, every time the "Stanford University" competition is played, there are more sneaky guys who record with small books. As for their tickets, many of them are bought from small scalpers.

In February, Stanford University continued to go on a high streak with an 8-1 record, with the only loss coming away to UCLA, where Zhang Yu broke Wei Shao's nose with an elbow and was sent off the game, and was punished with a one-game ban after the game.

In January, Xia Wei, a little scalper, was still a little conscientious, and only doubled the price of a ticket. By February, the petty money fans had already been ruthless and had tripled the ticket price, revealing the true nature of the shameless black-hearted businessman.

Zhang Yu played all the games in January and February, except for the first 9 games delayed in December, Zhang Yu has played a full 17 games, and the average number of games per game has made everyone who cares about him look sideways, and the scout lineup sent by each team is even more luxurious.

In 17 games, Zhang Yu averaged 25.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 2.2 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, with only 2.5 turnovers per game, and his efficiency was the highest among the core players of all teams in 32 divisions. February's Player of the Month undoubtedly went on to go to Zhang Yu. Whether it is the number of individuals or the occupation of the team, Zhang Yu is impeccable.

Although "Stanford University" started to work hard in January, the team ended up in second place in the "Pacific Ten League" in March with 21 wins and 10 losses after Zhang Yu and Brook Lopez missed nearly 10 games at the beginning of the season. UCLA, who finished in first place, finished 22-9 and were only one game away from each other, with Zhang losing the top spot in the division in February in retaliation against Westbrook.

The "Pacific 10 League" is one of the strongest divisions in the United States, and according to this year's record, the top six can all enter the final 64, and "Stanford University" is not worried that it will not qualify. And the second-place result can even be skipped in the qualifiers. Starting from fourth place, these teams will have to play play-offs against the same teams from other regions, and the winner will eventually qualify for the national round of 64.

When the time comes to March, the dust has settled on the national round of 68, and the knockout stage of the NCAA National Championship is about to begin. Compared with the NBA playoffs with four wins of seven games, the single-elimination NCAA tournament is more suspenseful, and the Cinderella legend is not uncommon, and many high-seeded teams are killed by opponents who are obviously inferior to themselves from the round of 64 every year.

In the crazy month of March, due to the full involvement of the media, it attracted great attention from the society. Major corporations, associations, societies, and fans across the United States are watching and supporting their favorite teams and stars with full attention. The focus is even better than the NBA's games, and throughout March and April, sports TV channels across the United States broadcast or broadcast NCAA college basketball leagues live and unprecedented!

This is "March Madness"!

On March 10, the play-offs in each region were completed, and four teams from the "Pacific Ten League" finally entered the round of 64, namely Stanford University, the University of Arizona, the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of Southern California. Basically, as expected, all four of these teams have favorites for this year's draft, and the school is also a veteran of the NCAA.

On March 12, the tournament committee announced the seeding teams from the four regions. The top seed in the Midwest Division is the University of Kansas, the top seed in the Western Division is the University of Oklahoma, the top seed in the Eastern Division is the University of Memphis, and the top seed in the Southern Division is the University of UCLA. (Well, I don't know how the subdivision is divided, because they seem to be different from year to year, UCLA '08 is in the Southern Side, '09 is in the Eastern District, and it's the Western University.) )

Although Zhang Yu's "Stanford University" is not as good as UCLA in the division, it has still become one of the recognized favorites in the United States, and it is logical to become the second seed in the Western region.

On March 14, in the first match, Stanford University, the second seed in the Western Division, will face the fifteenth seed in the same region, California State University, Northridge.

In the knockout stage, the venue is a third-party court, so tickets for the game have become extremely rare, and the West Side venue is located in Los Angeles this year, and Zhang Yu can no longer give a large number of tickets to the little scalper. So at the competition site, Xia Wei, who had no scalper tickets for sale, looked sullen.

Not only this one, but the tickets for the next games will only be more rare as the event progresses.

Ai Yue'er sat next to her, as long as she saw that Xia Wei was unhappy, she didn't know why, she was very happy, so she was very happy now......

Zhang Yu, as the core of "Stanford University", also reached the round of 64, and CCTV originally planned to broadcast the NCAA game for the first time. But I never expected that the broadcast price of the NCAA is amazing, several times higher than that of the NBA, what qualifications does a college league have to pay so much broadcast fees? Isn't this a lion's big mouth?

The sky-high broadcast fee dispelled the idea of CCTV broadcasting the NCAA round of 64, but as Zhang Yu became more and more famous in the United States, the champion market rose this year, and domestic fans also supported CCTV to broadcast Zhang Yu's game.

Northridge was able to reach the top 64 this year, which is already a super level of performance. In the face of the favorite "Stanford University", they had no way to fight back.

Zhang Yu didn't feel much pressure in the first half, and his shooting percentage was extremely high, scoring 14 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in less than 15 minutes. "Stanford University" also led the opponent by 19 points 44-25, basically ending the suspense of the game.

In the second half, Zhang Yu only played five minutes, and after brushing up on 5 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, the team was already 24 points ahead of the opponent.

In the end, "Stanford University" beat "California State University Northridge", and Zhang Yu scored a team-high 19 points, plus 3 rebounds and 5 assists. Brook Lopez had 16 points, eight rebounds and two assists. Robin Lopez had 10 points and 11 rebounds. Landry Fields also had 11 points on the books.

The NCAA round of 64 is a tournament-based knockout tournament, and the competition is fierce, and if you lose one game, you will be eliminated! Half of the teams will be eliminated in one round. The competition was brutal, but very intense and exciting! That's why March Madness is more popular than the NBA.

"Stanford University" defeated its opponent, which is not unexpected, and it is only a surprise to lose.

On the same day, the other strong teams also defeated their respective opponents. But it's not that there are no unpopularity, and an elimination system is actually the easiest to break out of dark horses. Duke University, for example, was eliminated in the first round. As an NCAA giant team, Duke has lost a bit of face this year!

"Stanford University's" next opponent, "Marquette University", this is another mediocre university, there is only one James Gist in the team who is slightly famous, but Zhang Yu doesn't know who it is, and he is not interested in the name of the nobody at all.

In this game, the media magazine, various bricks and even the periphery have been optimistic about "Stanford University", and they believe that the two opponents faced by "Stanford University" in a row can enter the top 32 itself is a representative of luck greater than strength.

In fact, it is true that "Marquette University" really cannot pose any threat to "Stanford University" with Zhang Yu......
