Chapter 53, Awards and National Divisions
At the end of the regular season, the Bruins won the first place in the regular season again after many years.

Getting the first place in the regular season is the best compliment to UCLA and the Bruins team.

Because the regular season ended, all the major awards of the P-10 league were also awarded. Li Lei won the best player and best rookie awards. He was the second place in the P-10 league after Rahim.

In addition to Li Lei winning these two awards, Steve LaVine also won the best head coach award. He also won the award in his previous life, but the Bruins at that time had no way to compare with the present.

Li Lei won these two awards, which made his draft prices start to rise. Although he has not yet decided to participate in the draft, he has already entered the lottery zone according to the ranking on the draft website.

Of course, these draft predictions are not true. For example, Jordan’s draft prediction was a lottery, but he fell directly to the second round. These things can only be used as a reference, but have no other practical significance. After all, basketball sometimes depends on more than strength.

"Bruce, why are you working so hard? You've entered the lottery now. Let's talk about whether you will stay in school after this season or go to the NBA."

Barnes came to the Poly Arena to harass Li Lei again. This guy is coquettish, because he and Li Lei were selected to the first team of the P-10 league. Kapono went to the second team. The other three positions are Arenas, Jefferson, and Jason Collins, the first gay man in the NBA. In Li Lei's opinion, Gadzuric is much better than Jason Collins.

The Wildcats and Bruins occupied 4 people in one team, and the other position was occupied by the Cardinals. Ridnour, a high-quality point guard, was squeezed to the second team. As for Arenas' teammate Gardner, he was only nominated. Who made him so hot-eyed in the first round against the Bruins.

Barnes is a point that has been changed. In his previous life, his position seemed to be Brian Bracey. As a result, the Duck Titans went to the second team like his teammate Ridnor.

Li Lei threw the ball on the floor and took a sip of juice. There are still a few days before the start of the NCAA National Championships. Other leagues are still playing tournaments. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it would be great if Kapono's three-pointer can be raised to level 3.

"Well, almost, don't you think I have no challenges in the NBA?"

Li Lei didn't say one more thing, there is no money at all in the NCAA, although he can hone his skills, but it is not necessary for him, because Li Lei is a strange man with cheating.As for winning three or four consecutive championships in the NCAA, it doesn't make sense to play a few more games in the NBA. After all, the former doesn't have any salary, and they can't accept endorsements.

If Barnes didn't pick up Li Lei, this guy is getting more and more narcissistic, but if he doesn't have his recommendation, can he discover his basketball talent? Maybe he can retire and become a scout in the future, and Marty Black's second is his goal.

"Well, it's also thanks to me. If I hadn't recommended it to Steve, you would still be a caddy on the sidelines. However, Bruce, I hope our friendship can last forever."

What Barnes said was very vicissitudes, and he was completely out of his usual idleness. Li Lei naturally understood what the other party meant. Compared with Kapono, who was born in a sports family, Barnes, who grew up on the street, understood the multi-faceted nature of this society.Li Lei finished drinking the juice, took another basketball, and continued to improve his proficiency.

"Well, yes, we are friends for life, brother, but, Matt, if you practice the 45-degree three-pointer on the two wings, it will definitely be good for your draft market, believe me." Barnes actually has a shooting talent, but this guy doesn't pay much attention, which is what makes Li Lei feel bad.

Barnes nodded. He had tasted the sweetness of the three-pointer. Under the influence of Li Lei this season, he developed the three-pointer, which allowed him to be selected into the first team. Coupled with his fairly good defense, Barnes suddenly felt that his future could be expected.

"Bruce, what do you think my position is? Do I develop like Scottie Pippen?" Barnes raised a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time. Barnes has always been very aware of how high his basketball talent is. He never thought of himself as a basketball superstar.To be able to gain a foothold in the NBA, just find a job.This is a very down-to-earth guy.

Pippen?Li Lei didn't stop shooting, and scored another three-pointer. The improvement in proficiency made the three-pointer feel more and more natural. "You don't want to develop like Pippen, because UCLA doesn't have Michael Jordan. You just need to practice defense and three-pointers. Three-pointers will be more and more valued in the NBA in the future. After all, being able to shoot is not a bad thing."

Li Lei's words were very sincere, and Barnes kept it in his heart, and he must work hard in the future. If Li Lei leaves the Bruins this year, then UCLA can only rely on a few other people.

Other NCAA league games also had winners and losers. Duke, Michigan State University, and University of Illinois became the four seeded teams. Michigan State University got this seed seat by virtue of its dazzling record.

The NCAA's 64 teams are divided into four divisions, east, west, south, center and west, with 16 teams in each division. Those who break out from the division are the final four. UCLA is assigned to the Western Division. This area is in California, but the teams in it are not easy to chew on. The Western Division where Duke is located is also a death zone.
