The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 77 Decision One
It can be seen that the current coach Steve is not generally high-spirited.

At the beginning of the season, his life was really difficult, and the coaching position was even more precarious.

However, now, as the season is coming to an end, Coach Steve has changed his mind.

UCLA decided to renew his contract early, which not only guaranteed the coaching position, but also increased his salary.

Now, his goal has shifted from the Pacific Division to the entire NCAA.

"There are more delicious things to come, such as March Madness, such as the Sweet Sixteen, such as the Elite Eight.

Those who have never experienced that moment will never know how unforgettable it was. "

"Jason, come and share with everyone."

Jason Kapono said with a smile: "I'm lucky, I've been to the Sweet Sixteen three times.

To be honest, the moment I stepped on the court, it was really exciting.

In front of the entire United States, with the cheers of tens of thousands of people, the feeling is really indescribable.

It's a pity that I participated in the Sweet Sixteen three times, but never went further, and I hope this time I can. "

……

Kapono's words have already made everyone yearn for it. This may be the most star-studded moment for most people.

Because of the play-offs, UCLA has a few more days to rest, and then it depends on how the schedule is arranged.

According to the rules of the NCAA, all teams will be divided into 4 divisions to determine the final top 4, which is the final semi-finals.

Of course, the so-called four competition areas here are mainly based on the venue where the event is held, and have nothing to do with the area where the team is located.

The 16 teams in this division will be divided into 1 to 16 seed places according to the NCAA division.

The game at that time will be the No. 1 seed against the No. 16 seed. Well, the No. 16 is no longer a seeded team.

UCLA was divided into the Southern Division, which is not bad news, it is an away game.

The round of 64 and round of 32 will be held in Tampa, Florida, a coastal port city.

This place is a bit far from Los Angeles. For UCLA fans, it must be difficult for UCLA fans to travel thousands of miles to cheer.

In the next 16 rounds and 8 rounds, they will move to San Antonio.

To be honest, this is not good news either.

Because the number one seed in the Southern Division is the University of Texas, this can be regarded as half of their home court.

UCLA is only the No. 2 seed in the Southern Division. If it wants to enter the top four, it must fight the University of Texas.

That's right, despite the momentum of UCLA this year, it is still only the No. 2 seed.

It's very simple, no matter how strong UCLA is, its record is only in the Pacific Division.

In addition, in the past few years, UCLA's performance was average, and the best result was only the top 16, so it was only the No. 2 seed.

The No. 3 seed is Michigan State University. If nothing else, UCLA's top 16 opponent will be him.

Of course, there are no accidents here, but the NCAA tournament is full of accidents.

UCLA's first opponent will be the University of Colorado Buffaloes, which is a bit interesting.

The University of Colorado is actually a member of the Big Ten Conference, and in a few years, he will join the Pacific Ten Conference.

Chen Mo didn't know much about this opponent, and neither did the others.

Opponents who are not in the same competition area may not be able to play a game for several years, of course I don't know.

However, there is no need to worry too much about the fact that the team has a special person to collect data and some routine news.

Moreover, this year's UCLA seems to have a good chance, and it is impossible for the school to search for it. Naturally, it has increased its investment.

Looking carefully at the player information of the University of Colorado, he seemed to find a few he knew.

The one I am most familiar with is David Harris, of course not because he is good, but because he has played in the CBA.

It seems that David Harris was the one who won the championship with Political Commissar Ma in Shougang.

Then there is James White, Chen Mo knows him precisely because he is also called James.

This guy joined the Spurs for a short time, during the 06-07 season.

Later, in the finals, the Spurs swept James to win the championship, so Chen Mo remembered this James.

In addition to these two, the University of Colorado's point guard, Blair Wilson, also performed well.

Then there is also the starting power forward Stephen Berry, who is one word behind the elementary school students.

On the bench, there is also a freshman, Chris Copeland, who can perform a game from time to time.

This is the lineup of the University of Colorado. It's not bad, but it's not necessarily strong.

"By the way, there is another piece of good news."

UCLA scout Brewer said with a smile: "James White doesn't seem to be happy with the situation at Colorado State University.

It is reported that he is very likely to transfer schools next year, and it is not known how much he will focus on playing. "

This is good news, but Chen Mo and the others don't particularly care about it.

After all, this is only the top 64 opponents. If it is the top 16, or even the top 8, then this is good news.

Seeing that the players were calm and did not look secretly happy at all, Coach Steve was very satisfied.

It seems that after the baptism of the last game, his players have become more and more mature.

To be honest, this is very rare. After all, for the coach, he has no problem giving advice on tactics and techniques, but changing his mentality is really not something that can be solved with a few words.

"OK, let's train with peace of mind and focus on recovery. By the way, there will be interviews after the training."

After all, he just won the championship in the competition area, although there is not much attention in the whole meter range.

It's just that, in Los Angeles alone, or even in California, there are still many people who care about it.

Media reporters strongly demanded interviews, and UCLA naturally could not turn a blind eye.

It is also extremely important for the team to have a good relationship with the media. After all, today's media has a lot of power to speak.

However, when the media walked into the gymnasium, everyone was really shocked.

It was agreed that it was only a small number of media, and it was only an internal report within California?

Look at the media, Slam Dunk, ESPN, and Fox...

It's just a champion in the division, do you want to be so exaggerated?

However, when they saw the major media going towards Chen Mo, everyone realized that they really thought too much.

Perhaps, a division champion can't attract so much media, but with the addition of Chen Mo, it shouldn't be a problem.

"Chen, congratulations first, you won the championship of the Pacific Ten League Division."

"Thank you. This is my first championship since I came to the United States. This is undoubtedly a good start."

"We have heard that you have decided to participate in this year's NBA draft, right?"

Sure enough!

Although Chen Mo said these words to his teammates, but he was on the sidelines at that time, and it must have been heard by more than his teammates.

That's right, Chen Mo has already made a decision, he will bring his talents to the NBA.

As one of the most popular draft picks this year, Chen Mo's decision to participate in the NBA draft this year is quite attractive.
