Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 380 Preseason

A season of ncaa is divided into three stages.

The first stage is the preseason, which usually starts at the end of November or early December and lasts for one month.

For example, Syracuse University, in the first stage, they will play a few games with one or several teams outside their league.

Generally, it is a home and away game system. One game is played at home, and then another game is played away.

Therefore, the preseason match is equivalent to a warm-up match, and its purpose is mainly to run-in the lineup, test the training results, inspect new players, practice skills and tactics, etc.
Although the opponents in the preseason are not in this league (Syracuse University belongs to the Big East, so their opponents in the preseason are teams outside the Big East), but if both sides can reach the top 64 tournament, then There is also a chance to meet in the back and become opponents.

So for some teams, the preseason is not only a warm-up match, but also a reconnaissance and finding out between opponents in the future championship.

So the preseason is also very important.

The second stage is the regular season, also known as the league game.

There are a total of 346 teams in the NCAA League One, and these teams are divided into leagues. Similar to high school leagues, teams in this league will have a round of competition, usually in a single round-robin or tournament system. After fierce competition, the league champion will be determined, and the league champion team will be eligible to participate in the top 64 tournament.

The third stage is the top 64 tournament, also known as "March Madness". The championship teams from 32 sports leagues, plus 32 teams that failed to win the league championship, but have outstanding strength, won the " A total of 64 teams have entered this stage.

During the month of March, they will compete for the ncaa championship through a cruel single elimination system.

When it comes to the ncaa finals, even the nba will suspend the game for a day, because many fans will watch the ncaa finals on this day instead of going to nba games.

"March Madness" is known as the craziest, cruelest, and hottest competition. Throughout March, the ncaa trend will sweep across the United States.

For every player and every ncaa team, it is their pursuit to reach the top 64 tournament and participate in the cruel competition of "March Madness".

Entering December, Syracuse University ushered in their first preseason game against the Tennessee Volunteers from the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

The head coach of this team is Bruce Pearl. Under his leadership, the University of Tennessee Volunteers won the SECEast (Southeastern Conference East) championship in the 2005-2006 season, and won the "Invitation" for their outstanding performance last year. Qualification", entered the top 64 tournament, and reached the top sixteen (also known as SweetSixteen, sweet sixteen).

In the history of the University of Tennessee Volunteers, more than one NBA player has been produced, such as Bernard King who played for the Nets, and Alan Houston of the Pistons. Just last year, the University of Tennessee Volunteers produced Guard CJ Watson was spotted by the Warriors and joined the Warriors as an undrafted player.

There is no doubt that this has always been a strong team!
The game was played on the home court of Syracuse University. Although it was only a preseason game, there were still hundreds of fans in the auditorium, most of whom were students of Syracuse University.

The players of the University of Tennessee Volunteers have arrived and are warming up on the court. They are all tall and have a sharp aura.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the auditorium.

"coming."

"Heh, come here as soon as you come, isn't it a player from Syracuse University? What's so strange, it's not our opponent anyway."

A group of players from the University of Tennessee Volunteers looked not far away, with mockery and contempt in their eyes. Although Syracuse University's grades were not bad, they were not at the same level compared with them.

A group of people came, it was the players from Syracuse University.

Cheers erupted from the stands as fans chanted the players' names and the Syracuse Oranges, cheering them on.

"Huh, there's another Asian?" A player from the University of Tennessee Volunteers noticed Qin Hao and couldn't help raising his eyebrows in surprise.

Others saw it too, but didn't care too much.

It's not that there are no Asians in the ncaa arena, and Jeremy Lin is a representative, but they are usually just water fountain guards, and Jeremy Lin is rare.

"Boys, go up and warm up." Coach Fox waved his hand to signal everyone to go on the court to warm up.

When Qin Hao came to the field, Brother Pingtou passed the ball to Qin Hao. Qin Hao took the ball and shot a three-pointer. With the sound of "shua", the basketball was hit steadily.

followed by the second, the third
When Qin Hao starts to shoot three-pointers, he will immediately attract the attention of many people, because his three-pointers are too accurate, and it is a good example in this undefended situation.

"That Asian is quite accurate with three-pointers."

"Should be a three-point shooter, but at this time there is no defense, and the accuracy of the shot is normal"

Even if Qin Hao scored seven or eight three-pointers in a row, the players of the University of Tennessee Volunteers didn't care, because no one knew Qin Hao, and no one had seen Qin Hao play.After all, in the first half of the year, Qin Hao was still a high school player at St. Joseph High School, and because of St. Joseph High School's record, the McDonald's All-American Game did not invite Qin Hao.

Qin Hao's popularity is not high enough, these University of Tennessee Volunteers don't know much about him, so naturally they don't take it to heart.

Seeing the players warming up on the field, Holbert, Jefferson, and Cole just dribbled the ball on one side, looking a little out of place, assistant coach Harry frowned.

He came to Coach Fox and said, "Coach, your method doesn't seem to be working. The players didn't blend together, but Qin and Butler got along with the players and integrated into the team. But Holbert, Cole, and Jefferson were isolated."

Coach Fox nodded, and said calmly: "The arrival of Qin and Butler threatened some people. After more than a month, most people chose to compromise, because Qin and Butler are strong enough, outstandingly talented, and have a bright future. But Hall Burt, Cole and Jefferson are still insisting because they don't want to lose their starting positions. But who should start and who should play as a substitute, the most fundamental thing depends on strength."

"I hope they can abandon their self-interest and get along harmoniously, but since they can't, let them compete based on their strength."

"Before I gave Qin and Butler the opportunity to show their strength and win over teammates. Now I will also give Holbert and them a chance. They will still be the starters today. As for whether they can seize the opportunity, it depends on the their own."
