Before training, David made a simple mobilization and shouted slogans, and the goal of the new season is to enter the NCAA Championship.Wang Jun listened to Abby talk a lot about American college basketball, and he is no longer a novice who knows nothing.First of all, the Wolverines are going to play in the league.The Big Ten League has a long history, having been founded in 1896, it is the oldest league in the NCAA and is recognized as one of the six major leagues.The 11 universities in the consortium are mainly located in the Midwest region of the United States, from Iowa in the west to Pennsylvania in the east.The 11 teams are: Purdue Boiler Builders, University of Michigan Wolverine, Michigan State University Spartans, Ohio State Buckeyes, Indiana University Mountain People, University of Illinois Belligerent Illinois, Northwestern University Wildcats, University of Minnesota Golden Gophers, University of Wisconsin Hackers, Penn State Netany Lions, and University of Iowa Hawkeyes.The NCAA basketball season begins in November each year, and after the regular season, the top eight teams from the top ten leagues will compete in a single-elimination league championship match, and the winner will automatically advance to the NCAA tournament.With the exception of the 31 recognized league champions who automatically qualify, the remaining spots in the tournament are determined by the committee, known as an expanded invitation.The eligibility for invitations is basically determined by the record and the strength of the alliance.After the list of the top 64 is determined, all the shortlisted teams will be divided into four divisions: East, West, South and Central and West, with the top four teams recognized as the first seeds in each region, and the other schools will be ranked by the committee as seeds 2-16 according to their strength.After that, the head-to-end method is used to determine the matchup.It is the 1st vs. 16th, the 2nd vs. 15th, and the single-elimination system.If you lose one game, you have to go home, and the speed of elimination is very amazing, which is the true meaning of "March Madness".No matter how good the previous performance was, it is not uncommon for the players to be upset once, and the players' efforts for a season will be in vain.The NCAA Championship is further divided into three phases, the first of which is the first and second rounds, which are quickly eliminated from the round of 64 to the round of 16.It's called the Sweet 16 because all teams get a higher level of attention as they move to Phase 2, and it's a stage where players aspiring to the NBA draft can get more exposure and more scouts.In the second stage, there will be a knockout from Sweet 16 to the elite quarterfinals, and then four divisional champions, which are the final four.Then, at the pre-selected final location, the final four will go through the semi-finals and finals to determine the winner.The winner-or-lose format makes the game particularly fierce and brutal, but also has an unparalleled charm.The NBA does not play any games on the day of the finals as a sign of respect.The Wolverines don't have a big goal, and the top three in the Big Ten League usually make it to the tournament.It is very difficult to get into the round of 16, and the Wolverines are in the Central and Western Regions, which is recognized as the group of death.Duke University, the University of Louisville, the University of Kentucky, and the University of Texas are all located here.In terms of strength last season, no matter which team they meet, Wolverines are not easy to play.The players began their warm-up under the leadership of assistant physiologist Hugo Ramsden.This is a white lad, team manager, master's degree in sports nutrition, interning on the team., still very thin, and his appearance is not good.Hugo's sense of presence is quite weak, and it was only when Abby went to class that he found the feeling of a manager.The players ran a few laps around the court before taking turns to warm up with layups.During the break, the players started chatting."
There are a lot of people who came to watch the game today, how did you do it" "yes, didn't Abby go to class, there are no beautiful women to see today." ”"Maybe it's coming to see Wang Jun, don't you see a lot of Asians on the sidelines" Carman was a little envious."
I'm afraid they'll be disappointed in a while."
Larry Powell laughed.He's a fourth-grader, a veteran of the team, and he's graduating in one more season, and he doesn't want to spend time on the bench.So as soon as they met today, he blatantly began to target Wang Jun.Without knowing Wang Jun's strength, the players chose to wait and see, but Carman was an exception.He immediately frowned, looked at Powell and said displeasedly: "Larry, how do you talk, the newcomer is strong, and the good play makes you unhappy, just because he may steal your starter, you play the starter is more important than winning" Carman's merciless questioning made Powell very embarrassed.He shuddered and snorted: "I don't reason with you, I'll know who will take the lead in a while, and we will speak with strength." ”Powell was obviously a little scared of Carman, but he didn't know if he was afraid of ruining the atmosphere in the locker room, afraid of being beaten by a big man, or afraid of being nagged to death.At this time, Wang Jun found that chatter also has advantages, this kind of person can't hide words in his heart, and he is not afraid to take a stand.The two of them just met him and supported Wang Jun like this, which is too rare."
Chris, thank you.""
You're welcome, if you fight well, we have hope."
Kaman gave him a genuine smile.Wang Jun smiled, this person is worthy of deep friendship.After practicing for a while, David announced a group match.Wang Jun and Carman were on the same team, both wearing white vests, and the other three were also the main players last season.The other party donned the green vest and was led by Jill Adamson.Powell's face sank, and he realized that the coach really wanted to let himself play as a substitute.David arranged the tactics and said: "Chris asks for the ball in the low post on the right side, Wang stands in the bottom corner on the right side and waits for the pass, and Mike gives Chris the ball on the right side, and he can cut in the air when he sees the opportunity."
Bobby pays attention to the left side to cover Luke and help him get rid of it, and the ball can be broken through himself or re-divided. ”The tactics were very simple, and Wang Jun understood them as soon as he heard them.Everyone else was running, and his position was almost standing still, just waiting for a shot in the corner.Some people may think that he is useless, and the coach does not trust him, so he arranges for him to stand in a corner, but in fact, it is the opposite.The three-pointer in the bottom corner is too important.It's impossible for any basketball team to ignore this problem if they want to play well.First of all, this position is the weakness of the zone defense, and the point where the shrinkage defense is the most difficult to defend.Once the space is vacant, the opponent has to defend from a distance, or the interior player saves to defend.Secondly, as long as the bottom corner player takes the ball to attract the defense to share the ball, it is difficult for the opponent to fill in the position, and it is easy to pass to the side teammates to form an empty space.However, there is a premise that teammates can guarantee the hit rate, and the opponent does not dare to let it go.Most importantly, the bottom corner threes are like cheating, and they are closer to the threes than other areas.Measured from a numerical point of view, the distance between the bottom corner three-pointer and the basket is 671 meters, which is 053 meters less than the distance between the three-pointer at the top of the arc and the basket.The closer you shoot to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage.Therefore, it is only natural that the percentage of three-pointers from the bottom corner is higher than that of three-pointers from other positions.Statistics show that the current NBA three-point shooting rate at the bottom corner reaches 387, while the three-point shooting rate at the top of the arc is only 346.The defensive tactics are also very simple, shrinking the joint defense, and the green team lacks pitchers.Last season, David had been pushing his players to practice shooting, and with that arrangement, he wanted to see if those guys improved during the holidays.When it was time to play, David stopped Wang Jun alone and encouraged: "This is just practice, you just need to run in, and it doesn't matter if you don't play well, so don't have any psychological pressure, relax." ”Wang Jun nodded.He's under a lot of pressure, but he doesn't just want to relax.Seeing that assistant coach Adamson and Powell were talking about something on the side of the court, he had a sense of foreboding.The two are in pairs, will he be Powell's opponent:
