The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 50
Speaking of the University of Michigan, you have to mention the Michigan Five Tigers, who once messed with the Fengyunfeng Five.

Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, and Ray Jackson and Jimmy King.

It's just that, compared to five people messing up the situation in the NCAA, in the NBA arena, it is far less beautiful.

Chris Webber is considered the best performer, has been selected to the best team and All-Star many times, and also found Clarbanks to be his girlfriend.

Juwan Howard is the easiest player in the NBA, with the most money, the most comfortable basketball, and two championships by the way.

Jaylen Rose also performed very well. At his peak, he scored 20+ in multiple seasons.

It's just that the University of Michigan today is far from being a purely underwhelming team compared to the era of the Michigan Five Tigers.

However, what no one expected was that the team, which was clearly regarded as a weak team, broke out with unimaginable fighting power.

Under the leadership of Holden Daniel and Lavelle Blanchard, they even lead the way.

On the other hand, the UCLA players may have played too much on Christmas and have no combat effectiveness at all.

There were not only various mistakes in the game, but more importantly, there was no touch and no shots could be made.

In the first half, Kapono made 5 of 0 three-pointers and Thompson made 6 of 1 shots in the first half.

At the end of the half, the University of Michigan trailed 48:38, a gap of 10 points.

Some people may think that the difference of 10 points is not big, and it is not impossible to recover.

But the problem is, these 10 points were opened when Chen Mo broke out in the halftime.

Throughout the first half, Chen Mo made 12 of 7 shots, 7 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 4 free throws, and scored 22.

In other words, in the entire first half, more than half of the points were scored by Chen Mo alone.

Without these 22 points, it is estimated that in the first half, UCLA would have been completely overwhelmed.

Coach Steve had a rare outburst, yelling at the entire team and even throwing things in the locker room.

"Do you think you have won the championship? Shit champion...don't say you haven't won the championship yet, even if you have this chance, just eat shit with today's performance..."

The old guy was really rude when he got mad, and even Kapono was pointed at his nose and scolded.

It's just that, after all, it's these guys who are looking for scolding, purely asking for it.

To put it bluntly, the continuous winning streak, coupled with the media's praise, made them a little bit flustered.

In particular, a large number of media are very optimistic about their competition for this year's NCAA championship, which makes some people's tails cock up.

The attention of the media has made everyone's draft market bullish, which undoubtedly deepened the inflation.

Kapono, who had been hovering in the second round of the draft, has now rushed to the end of the first round.

There is also Thompson, who originally had no chance to enter the NBA and would lose the draft to a large extent, but now he has entered the second round.

The advantage of this is that regardless of whether you can be selected for the NBA, even if you go overseas to play, you can get more salary.

Under such circumstances, it is really difficult not to swell, after all, you are still a young man.

Fortunately, Coach Steve went mad in time, and his majesty was enough to suppress the players' dissatisfaction.

In the second half, UCLA regained its form in time, not to mention whether it can regain the touch, at least it must play out the rhythm.

In addition to timely offensive and defensive transitions, there is also defense. You can't score one goal yourself and let others score two goals.

In the opening 5 minutes of the second half, UCLA directly played a wave of 14:6 to close the score.

Under the defense of UCLA, the players of the University of Michigan also made more mistakes, and their shooting percentage also dropped rapidly.

84:76
UCLA has won 7 consecutive victories. It has to be said that this is one of UCLA's best starts.

There is another more important thing, that is, after this game, UCLA will temporarily end the division competition, and then, UCLA will start the regular season of the Pacific Big Ten.

There's not much point in competing in regional competitions because there are no rankings or even awards for these competitions.

The only function may be to determine the seed teams of each division during March Madness.

After all, the NCAA team is likely to win the championship this year, but will be slumped next year because the players enter the NBA.

As for the regular season in the division, it is also of little use. The only use is to have a best player after the end of the season, as well as statistical awards such as scoring champion and assist champion.

As for the champion, sorry, no!

The real champion must be a championship after the regular season of the division is over and the ranking is determined. Only then can the champion be born.

Therefore, in the regional championship, even if you participate in the last place in the championship in qualifying, you still have a chance to win the championship.

Of course, this is only theoretical.

After all, is it realistic that a team that can't even play well in the regular season suddenly breaks out in the tournament?
Especially in some novels, it is directly written as a substitute player bursting out, winning games one after another, and finally winning the championship, that is, only novels dare to write like this.

In the regular season of the division, every game is extremely important, not only the victory or defeat, but also the grievances.

After all, in the same competition area, two games are played every year, and many grievances and entanglements are easy to arise.

For example, the Southern California Derby between UCLA and the University of Southern California, or the Los Angeles Derby, is one of the classic derbys of the NCAA.

For the supporters of the two teams, there can be no championship this season, but they cannot lose the Derby.

Yep, it's that crazy.

In addition to the Los Angeles Derby, UCLA and other teams have more or less grievances.

In the first game in 2003, it was also the first game in the regular season of the Pacific Big Ten Conference. UCLA will challenge the University of Washington away.

The University of Washington is not a traditional strong team in NCAA history, or in other words, it has not made many achievements in sports.

In recent years, even March Madness has not been able to enter, and can only be reduced to a spectator.

From this perspective, UCLA still has an advantage, at least in terms of historical record.

Although the University of Washington has such a name, in fact, it is a university located in Seattle.

That's right, it's that interesting, and the home arena of the University of Washington is the Millennium Bank Arena.

Facing the University of Washington, UCLA has a great advantage, but it still needs to be handled with care.

Although the performance of the University of Washington has been mediocre in recent years, in fact, the University of Washington has not improved this season.

However, the University of Washington team has a high school All-Star player.

Douglen, this is a player who was once compared to James and Anthony.

It's a pity that the media and reporters have proved that people can get it wrong, and they are no exception.

This season, Douglen's performance is average, averaging 13.2 points per game looks good, but the team just can't win.

In addition to the rookie Douglen, there is also Will Conroy, who is also the main player of the University of Washington.
