The Golden Invincible of Basketball

San Diego State University is not a traditional basketball giant. They have missed the championship for several years. Well-known stars in school history, such as Xavier Thames, were players in the 1980s and 1990s.

However, San Diego State University’s strength is not bad this year, the team has two NBA talents.

Kawhi Leonard, with a height of 2.01m and a weight of 102 kg, is very similar to Tang Tian’s body. This player who had been playing rugby before the sophomore year has a pair of big hands that ordinary people can’t compare, which makes him aggressive on the defensive end Full.

As a sophomore, he can contribute 15.7 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. For a player in his early 2m, his rebounding ability is particularly outstanding.

Simply put, he’s an offensive third and fourth swing player similar to Jimmy Butler, but more defensively.

And unlike Butler’s Marquette University, Leonard also has a helper, Jamal Franklin, 1.96 small forward, excellent athletic ability and breakthrough ability, averaged 10.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per season. .

In addition, their center Draymond Wright is also well-known, but unlike Leonard and Franklin, his well-known reason is not ball skills, but his playing style, trash talk plus small moves It is the kind of player that makes opponents extremely disgusted.

In the first round, the University of Concord met with an enhanced version of Marquette University.

Most of the tournament matches have been released, but not all.

Theoretically, there are only 64 teams in 64 and 32, but there are 68 teams in the championship. In order to warm up the championship and also give more colleges a chance to show, the extra four teams need to be before the start of the championship. To compete for a place, this is the original intention of establishing 68 teams.

The four extra teams are the No. 17 seed in each division. They need to play a single game with the No. 16 seed in the division first. They have to decide who will play with the No. 1 seed in the division.

This is the beginning of Mad March.

For eight teams, four games will be played in the same city, this year in New Haven, Connecticut.

Providence College as the No. 17 seed in the Eastern Conference is one of these eight teams.

Connecticut fans must be the first home team to support in the hearts of Connecticut fans, but Providence College, also a Big East league, is also the team they support on this day.

Kahong even organized Kang Da’s team members to go to the scene to watch the game.

Providence College is not in a division with them, but through the games of these teams, and according to the previous match records, it is still able to pry into the strength of opponents in some other divisions.

The game will be played tomorrow afternoon. After the extra training this evening, Tang Tian and Walker are holding laptops in the training hall to study the details of playing San Diego State University.

I waited for the study to finish, and the two watched NCAA related news for a while.

The top 68 of the tournament is determined, and the game is about to begin. At this time, the NCAA’s attention in the United States began to rise rapidly.

ESPN, TNT and other sports media giants have begun their annual predictions and strength analysis; betting sites have successively opened odds for each team to win; many NBA players have also begun to predict the victory, most of them From the NCAA, although leaving his alma mater, the relationship is still there.

The predictions of the media and the spinach website are basically the same. Both Duke and North Carolina have unique rankings in the rankings.

After that, Kansas, which has the Morris brothers, Kentucky, which is not as strong as in previous years but still has many NBA talents, and Arizona University, which has super scorer Derrick Williams, etc. .

The third gear belongs to the championships of the leagues and some teams with good strength, like UConn in this gear. They are called very competitive teams in this gear, but because of and North Carolina, Kansas, Arizona, these super teams are divided together, the promotion situation is more severe.

However, the predictions of NBA players are more casual than the media, they almost support their home teams.

Richard Jefferson: Derrick Williams will be the top pick this year, and the University of Arizona is a no-brainer this year!

Rol Deng: Duke will definitely kill North Carolina to win this year. Don’t ask me why, because there is a blue called North Carolina lost to Duke Blue!

Givens Carter: Duke is overrated this year. North Carolina is the king of this year. I love Barnes. This year, North Carolina will regain the championship!

John Wall: All of you underestimated Kentucky. Knight is stronger than you think. Kentucky is the last king.

Ray Allen: I like Walker, I like Lamb, I like Don, I like this UConn very much. They may not necessarily win, but they are already the strongest team in my mind.

Uh …

Both Walker and Tang Tian read these news with interest.

For them, this is also a way to relax before the tournament.

They watched for a while, and their eyes were quickly attracted by a news article from FOX Sports entitled “NCAA Championship Rankings of Major Positions”.

这个 In this news ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~, a ranking of the strength of players in each position of the 68 teams in the tournament.

Among point guards, Kyrie Irving tops the list. Although he was suspended for a period of time due to injury, Irving is 1.91 meters tall and has a slender figure. With unmatched ball-handling skills, he is also one of the hot spots of this year’s top pick .

After Irving, Jimmy Fredette of Brigham Young University, Brandon Knight of Kentucky, Alec Burks of the University of Colorado, and Iman Shumpert of Georgia Tech ranked second to fifth. .

“You are sixth, ha ha, I remember that Shumpert is the main shooting guard? You are behind him.” Tang Tian couldn’t help laughing after watching it.

Laughing and laughing, but this is more ridiculous, because the injury has been a bit struggling, and Walker is not so surprised to be here.

In fact, compared to the beginning of the season, Walker’s experience and strength have improved significantly, especially after the injury has returned. After adjusting the firing method, the shooting rate has increased significantly. For hard power, he is now at least the top three in the point guard. , The overall top 15 kinds.

“You laugh at me, you look at you.” Walker said, pointing to the screen.

Tangtian ranks at the power forward position.

排名 The first place in this position is Derrick Williams. As the core of the University of Arizona, he averaged 19.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, strong body and excellent scoring methods, making him Irving’s biggest competitor.

After Williams, Harris Barnes of North Carolina, Tristan Thompson of the University of Texas, Markieff Morris of Kansas, and Leonard of San Diego State University ranked second to fifth.

Seeing his ranking, Tang Tian laughed even louder, because he was directly out of the top 20 list.
