Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 412 University of Louisville Cardinals

Louisville, Kentucky.

University of Louisville Basketball Arena.

Today is the game between the University of Louisville and the University of Syracuse. The Orangemen of Syracuse University came to the locker room early and made preparations.

Coach Fox and Assistant Coach Harry had serious expressions on their faces. They didn't enter the locker room, but just stood at the door. There was noise coming from the player tunnel.

That was the sound of the fans in the arena. Judging from the sound of the sound, there were a lot of fans, at least thousands of them.

"It is indeed one of the most profitable teams in the NCAA. With so many fans, how can it not make money?" Assistant coach Harry couldn't help but sigh.

The income sources of ncaa teams include ncaa league dividends, sponsor sponsorship, social donations (sports donations, the designated part must be used for sports construction), etc.
Among the more than 300 teams in the ncaa, the University of Louisville is one of the most profitable teams, earning an average of tens of millions of dollars a year, which is no less than some nba teams.

Most of these come from social donations and commercial sponsorships.

The reason for this is that the Cardinals of the University of Louisville have always maintained sufficient competitiveness. They are a veteran team. They have won the NCAA championship twice and have a large number of loyal fans. Every home game There will be a lot of fans watching the game, so it is very popular with sponsors and can get a lot of social donations.

When you come to the home court of the University of Louisville Cardinals, people will be shocked by the fiery home atmosphere and the large number of spectators.

"Coach." Harry's assistant coach sighed: "Today's game is not easy. The University of Louisville is not the same opponent as before."

The strength of the University of Louisville is not comparable to the previous University of Cincinnati.

Although the University of Louisville only finished third in the Big East regular season last season, it still qualified for the NCAA tournament because of its outstanding strength.

After entering the top 64 tournament, they made it all the way to the "Sweet Sixteen" and finally reached the top eight.

Even if they didn't make it to the end, they might be able to reach the top eight, which shows their strength.

Coach Fox turned his head and glanced at the players in the locker room, and said: "This is a challenge and a test for us. We have been training in combat for the previous games, and it is almost time to test the results of the training. .”

"Hmm." Teaching assistant Harry nodded, looking forward to it, but also nervous.

Today's match is the real test.

In the locker room.

The players are also talking, all looking serious.

They also played against each other last season, two games in the regular season, one away and one at home, and once in the playoffs. As a result, Syracuse University ended in failure in all three games.Moreover, they lost very simply every time. The one with the fewest points lost also lost 9 points. The gap can be imagined.

So facing the University of Louisville, all the Syracuse University players were a little nervous. For them, this was an invincible and terrifying opponent.

"From the perspective of the lineup, the University of Louisville is not much different this season from last season. Center Landers and guard Todd are both there."

"These two guys are not simple."

"yes."

When several players mentioned Landers and Todd from the University of Louisville, their voices were filled with deep fear. Holbert had a complicated expression and frowned.

Center Landers and guard Todd are the two core players of the University of Louisville, one inside and one outside, supporting the University of Louisville Cardinals.

Landers is 211cm tall, with long arms and strong physical fitness. He is known as the "inside monster". He has excellent confrontation ability, moving speed, jumping and explosive power. He is overwhelming inside. He averaged 15.2 points per game last season. , 8.5 rebounds.

He performed even better this season. After several regular season games, he averaged 19.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, and a double-double of almost 20+10.

The guard Todd is not too far behind. He is 192cm tall and serves as a shooting guard. He has excellent physical fitness, comprehensive skills, and outstanding scoring ability. He is a player who puts scoring first. Averaging 22.4 points per game, he is the team's highest scoring player.

Don't underestimate the 22.4 points. A strong team like the University of Louisville generally has scattered points because they don't need to rely on a certain player.

In such a team, the average can still score 22.4 points per game. If it is placed on some weak teams, it will not be a big problem to score 27 or [-] points in a game.

With these two, the strength of the University of Louisville will never be much weaker than last season, and may even be stronger than last season.

Because the University of Louisville has also played several regular season games and achieved a record of 5 wins and 0 losses without a single loss.

Hearing the comments from his teammates, Butler narrowed his eyes, his blood was boiling, and said to Qin Hao, "Qin, I'm a little excited."

"Haha." Qin Hao laughed, "My big sword is already too hungry. The previous opponents were too weak, and I didn't have a chance to give it my all. It looks like I can have a good fight today."

Qin Hao is full of anticipation for the upcoming game.

No one desires a strong opponent more than Qin Hao, because only a strong opponent can make it easier for him to reach that "critical point" and make him progress faster.

at the same time.

In another locker room, the University of Louisville players were also discussing. As a strong team, they had the arrogance of a strong team and did not take Syracuse University seriously.Even though Syracuse University has won six consecutive victories, those opponents are all weak teams.

So at the moment the atmosphere in the locker room is relaxed, and the players are sitting together in small groups.

"Syracuse University played very well this season, winning six consecutive victories."

"Heh, after today, their winning streak will end."

"That Chinese named Qin, and that Butler, I heard they are very powerful. Recently, the fame of these two guys has spread quite quickly."

"Averaging more than ten points per game is not bad for a rookie, but it's just that. Well, it's probably about the same as Holbert, but Holbert is just Todd's defeat."

A group of players laughed and talked easily.

Hearing the players' conversation, the head coach Dawn frowned and said with a straight face: "Don't underestimate the opponent. Syracuse University's six-game winning streak is not accidental, let alone luck."

"Yes, coach."

"Don't worry, we won't take it lightly."

A group of players said one after another.

But looking at them, Coach Dawn knew that they didn't listen. He shook his head and didn't say anything more. Anyway, the game was about to start.
