Chapter 31

In the 90s, the Big East experienced some membership changes.

For example, the University of Florida Hurricanes joined in 1991, and then the team left the Big East in 04.

And this year, three teams, the University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Rutgers University Red Cavaliers, and West Virginia University Mountaineers joined the Big East.

So the Big East reached 13 teams during this period.

The NCAA regular season starts at the end of November.In principle, each team in the league plays two games against each other, one home and one away, and occasionally plays against teams from other leagues.After the regular season, the top 11 players in the league will play a single-elimination league tournament, and the champion will automatically be eligible to enter the NCAA tournament, that is, March Madness.

In addition to the automatic promotion of the champions of each league, the remaining places in the NCAA tournament are determined by the selection committee officially authorized by the NCAA. In order to expand the invitation, the invitation qualification is basically determined by the record, the strength of the league and other aspects.

Currently, there are 64 teams that have finally entered March Madness.

The Georgetown University Hoyas' opener was held at the school, and the Boston College Hawks ushered in a challenge.

The opening day was the weekend, and there were no classes at the school. The campus was full of fans wearing white jerseys of the Hoyas, and the entire arena was filled.

The arena was gradually boiling, and there was a camera set up in the arena, choosing a wide-angle position on the front.

Some fans painted their faces and held the Hoyas flag aloft.

Great atmosphere for college fans, cheap tickets, and a great student base, all kinds of people.

In the locker room, there were twelve players activated on the roster.

Coach John Thompson Jr. hung his signature white towel over his shoulders and folded his hands with the crowd.

Everyone shouted in unison:

"One or two, come on!"

Although there is a camera, it is only for recording video data. This ordinary regular game will not be broadcast live.

The din of the fans reached its zenith as the players left the factory in turn.

For a moment, even the entire arena seemed to be shaking.

Qin Fei raised his head and looked around, it was all white.

This is the atmosphere of the NCAA, and it is just an ordinary basketball arena that accommodates two to three thousand fans. If it is the NBA, with [-] fans at the scene, what kind of noise should it be?

The starters of the two teams took off their training jackets and prepared to play.

For Georgetown University, the starters are PG Allen Iverson, SG Victor Page, SF Romy Davis, PF Jerome Williams, and C Osiella Harrington.

Of these five players, except for Allen Iverson who is a sophomore, the other four are all seniors.

Both Jerome Williams and Osaila Harrington have appeared in the draft prediction list and have the opportunity to be selected in next year's draft.

Compared with Georgetown University's abundance of talents, Boston College is more difficult. Since the team's ace Howard Eisley entered the NBA the year before last, the team has not had any potential players who can enter the NBA. Among the Big East, Boston College is also ranked at the bottom.

There is a big gap between the two teams. Boston College is still playing away. If they win, it will be an upset.

"take it easy."

Allen Iverson ran to Qin Fei's side and actually spoke to comfort Qin Fei.

Qin Fei froze for a moment, where did I see that he was nervous?

"It's normal to be a little nervous when participating in such a game for the first time, but you have to learn to overcome these emotions. Good players are killers, and real killers don't have emotions."

Iverson patted Qin Fei on the shoulder, and gave him advice as a senior, sincerely.

Nervous for the first time, but you get used to it slowly?

Qin Fei blinked, and nodded to Iverson who was like a big brother.

In the stands, the three of Senal found Qin Fei in the crowd. All three guys were wearing jersey number 41, and they might be the few fans of Qin Fei present.

"Look, that's my roommate!"

Nathan introduces his girlfriend, who turns out she isn't interested at all: "Please, I only like Allen Iverson."

Iverson has a lot of fans, and most of the students in the audience are Iverson fans.

The students of the two teams came to the field, the head coach exchanged greetings, and the players shook hands.

The referee took the ball to the center line.

Di-

As the whistle sounded, the basketball was thrown up, and the two big men flew up brazenly, fighting for the basketball high in the sky.

Sitting off the court, Qin Fei has a good view, and belongs to the first row to watch NCAA games up close.

Allen Iverson was the first attacker with the ball, but he didn't rush to break through, but handed the ball to Osaila, who was raised 45 degrees above the line, to respond.

Osella feigned a pick-and-roll with Victor, turned around and made a hand-off pass with Iverson.

This time it was a real offense. Iverson took a big stride, passed the defender with a single pull, and rushed into the inside line, making a shot like a shot or a throw.

The basketball did not hit the board, and the high arc passed the defender and fell directly to the frame.

"Come in!"

The fans burst into cheers and applause.

Qin Fei also applauded off the court. This is Iverson. Height is no longer a distance for him. When he wants to score, he is almost unstoppable.

The top player in the NCAA, the ace of Georgetown University's aces.

The players of the Boston College Hawks wear dark green jerseys, which are in the same line as the Boston Celtics. The guards defending Iverson are very helpless. He played against Iverson last year. The speed and dexterity of the opponent are above him, and the change of direction is a great skill. He can't guard against it.

This year, Iverson seems to be faster, like the wind, coming and going, and there is no way to defend.

We can only rely on the team's zone defense to suppress Iverson.

The NCAA allows zone defense, but the NBA has not yet introduced zone defense.

What is joint defense?To put it simply, it is a regional defense. The defender is no longer man-to-man, but uses less movement to set up numerous obstacles, so that the ball holder cannot smoothly break through or tear the line of defense.

In order to reduce the breakthrough obstacles brought by the zone defense to Iverson, the system created by Coach John is a high-position pick-and-roll system, which destroys the integrity of the zone defense through the support of high center forwards.

Try to create opportunities for Iverson to attack one-on-one or misplaced.

Qin Fei looked at it seriously.

The back-and-forth attacking rhythm of the two sides was very fast, and the 35-second attack time did not have to be exhausted.

Iverson cut and shot, scored 10 points in 11 minutes, helping the team lead the opponent 19 to 7 by 12 points, and this was just halfway through the first half.

The team started the second wave of personnel adjustments, and Qin Fei set his sights on "Coach Towel".

John Thompson noticed this fiery gaze, smiled secretly in his heart, waved his hand, and made Qin Fei stand up.

"Go and replace Allen, pay attention, don't cover your head when attacking, the team in the first league is much stronger than you think."

Qin Fei nodded seriously.

He turned his eyes and saw the assistant coach Chandler with a complicated expression.

Chandler turned his head to the side, not looking at Qin Fei.

beep--

The whistle blew the dead ball and Qin Fei entered the field.

Iverson came down, stretched out his right hand and gave Qin Fei a high-five.

Although he didn't say anything to cheer him up, his diamond-like pupils were already full of encouragement.

Iverson wants to win the championship. Only if he wins the championship, he will have no regrets going to the NBA. What's more, the last time the team won the championship was in 1984, when the team's ace Patrick Ewing defeated the University of Houston led by Hakeem Olajuwon.

To win the championship, everyone on the team must be stronger.

Qin Fei's progress is so fast that even Iverson is amazed by it. If Qin Fei makes further progress, it is very likely to become a new growth point for Georgetown University's strength.

Then in March next year, the team will have a greater chance of winning the championship.

So he is very optimistic about Qin Fei and hopes that Qin Fei can rise.

Qin Fei didn't think much about it, but felt that Iverson, who was also born on the street, was really easy to talk to and took good care of him. There was a big brother who took the lead to charge into the battle, and he picked up guns and eggs behind him. The days were so happy.

Before going on the field, he glanced at the blue data below his vision.

The game in the first-level league is rated as C-level by the system.
