At the end of the program, the host announced that CCTV Channel 5 will broadcast the NCAA top 16 and subsequent games.
This directly made the young man jump up with excitement, and he was so excited that he couldn't wait for the top 16 competition to begin now!
"Card, card, card!"
The sound of the key turning the door instantly woke the boy up.
My father must have come back. If he saw the dirty look on my face after playing ball, I would really have to eat fried pork with bamboo shoots tonight.
The boy rushed to his bedroom as fast as he could with the basketball in his arms, threw the basketball back into the bedroom, and then hurriedly ran to the bathroom.
Well, it looks like the speed is pretty good!
However, this similar phenomenon occurs in most families.
"Basketball Park" is only broadcast every Friday. Many fans who like basketball will lock in this time as soon as possible.
However, due to the pressure of adults to go to work and work reasons, most of the people who lock the channel for the first time are teenagers.
It was on this day that Lian Dao gained countless fans in the country.
The subsequent Su Qun "Basketball Pioneer" was sold out as soon as it was released, and many people realized that there was actually a young man playing basketball in the NCAA.
…
Lian Dao didn't know what was happening in China. After he was interviewed by Su Qun, the two of them had a meal together, and then Lian Dao returned to the hotel where he stayed.
Because the next game was still at the Hubert Humphrey Dome, Lian Dao asked his assistant for a video of the Michigan State University Spartans game after returning to the hotel.
Lian Dao originally thought he would miss the game against the Michigan State University Spartans in this life, because USC had a very good record this season and was the second seed.
But Lian Dao forgot that historically the Michigan State University Spartans were the second seed this season, but this time they were squeezed out by the University of Southern California.
However, the Michigan State Spartans also won the third seed. They eliminated the North Dakota State Bison and Dayton Flyers in the round of 32 and round of 16.
The two teams will be their opponents in the next 16-to-8 match.
The 16-to-8 game is the most exciting start of the NCAA tournament, because its intensity and attention are at its greatest.
For this reason, many fans gave it a nice name called "Sweet 16".
The Arizona Wildcats this time were not as lucky as they have been in history, although they still defeated their opponent Wake Forest Demon Deacons in the first round.
But they encountered a strong opponent in the second round, a 32-to-16 game: the Kansas Jayhawks.
There is a saying circulating in the NCAA: Never underestimate the Kansas Jayhawks, even if their players look mediocre.
The Kansas Jayhawks have an excellent history. They have won three NCAA championships in the past, the most recent one being last season.
Moreover, they have won the NCAA third place three times in history, reached the Final Four 13 times, the Elite Eight 19 times, and the Sweet 16 24 times.
Oh, plus this time it is 25 times and 38 times qualified for the NCAA tournament!
This is not a bunch of data, this is the history of the Kansas Jayhawks, from players to coaches, the word "excellent" is revealed.
In the history of the team, more than 50 players have been drafted by the NBA. Among them, the famous Chamberlain came from the Kansas Jayhawks. Now there are close to 20 active players in the NBA.
It can truly be said to be the blood transfusion station of the NBA.
And coach Larry Brown is a championship coach who came out of this university.
And this famous team, this year in history, lost to the Michigan State University Spartans in the 16-8 game.
Therefore, Michigan State is really strong this season, and the devilish schedule for USC has really begun.
In addition to Lian Dao watching the game video at the University of Southern California, assistant coach Tim is also watching the game video.
"What do you think our chances of winning are?" Tim smoked a cigar and asked the assistant coach next to him.
To be honest, he didn't have much confidence. The head coach opposite him was Tom Yinzuo, so he wanted to listen to the assistant coach's opinion.
"Michigan State is known for its outstanding guard performance, tenacity and rebounding. So this game is actually the game that tests our interior the most.
And if we cannot hold on to our inside advantage, we may be directly defeated!"
The teaching assistant gives his or her own opinion.
Tim thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"We need to have an advantage on the outside. Only by expanding our advantage on the outside can we force the opponent to increase defense on the outside, which can also reduce the pressure on our inside."
The assistant teacher also nodded.
The strongest thing about USC this season is definitely its defense and scoring ability on the outside.
Especially Lian Dao and DeMar, the two of them are known as the "Double Guns of USC".
As for the inside, Gibson doesn't need to worry. The veteran players are talented, and the more powerful and experienced they are.
Tim is most worried about Vucevic. Vucevic has strong shooting ability and is a space center.
But this is Vucevic's first season. His body weight gain has not yet been completed, and he is still weak in internal confrontation.
If it is a university that is not strong in the interior, then USC does not need to worry at all.
The performance of Lian Dao and Demar made Tim feel confident on the outside.
But it just so happens that Tom Yinzuo's team is an inside meat grinder.
Yoon Zuo is known for his "war" rebounding drills, in which players wear football helmets and shoulder pads.
His motto is "Players compete - tough players win".
His other coaching philosophies include "He doesn't decide playing time, the players do" and "A team coached by players is better than a team coached by a coach."
Tom Yoonzuo is also known for running an extremely tough non-conference schedule, known as the preseason, to prepare for the NCAA Tournament in March.
Later in 2013, Yin Zuo was named the fifth angry coach in college basketball by USA Today Sports, an honor he cherishes.
…
Like USC, Tom Yinzuo was also watching the USC game in the conference room.
He also had a headache against USC, watching DeMar's dunk after a breakthrough, Lian Dao's tough defense, and his successful dunk against the defender.
He did not take Lian Dao's "three-pointer" lightly. He always believed that scoring from outside was always the worst way to score.
He didn't think Lian Dao would have an outstanding shooting space under Michigan State's tough defense.
But he was very worried about Lian Dao's breakthrough. He saw that Lian Dao's breakthrough did not only rely on skills.
Instead, it focuses on physical strength and speed, supplemented by skills, especially in these two games of the championship.
"Why didn't you find out before that he still has the ability to break through?"
Tom Yinzuo looked at Lian Dao moving around and was very confused, because when watching previous regular season games, Lian Dao's speed was always his criticism at the third position.
But in the blink of an eye, the championship came, and I didn't expect that the speed of criticism would grow into a scoring weapon on the court.
"And this guy's wingspan and strength are so advantageous. He's a natural genius at the fourth position."
"It's ridiculous that the head coach of USC would put him at the three position."
Tom Yinzuo watched the video, with a hint of ridicule leaking from the corner of his mouth.
"If we put this kid at the fourth position, we will really have some trouble, but at the three position, he will enjoy the gift from Michigan."
"We are not your weaklings in the regular season. Let me teach you how to play basketball!"
After talking to himself, Tom Yoonzuo put the chocolate in his hand directly into his mouth.
He really enjoys the feeling of "bitter first and then sweet", because in Tom Yinzuo's view, the process of victory is bitter first and then sweet!
