Chapter 86 The First Game of 2016

The NCAA game is divided into many stages. In addition to the most influential "March Madness", which is the national championship, there are league championship games, regular seasons, warm-up games and so on.

The regular season is generally divided into two stages: competitions outside the competition area and competitions in the competition area.

The former competition time is from the beginning of November to the end of December.The opponents want each school to make appointments on their own. The only requirement is to make appointments with teams outside the competition area. A strong team can invite weak teams in other competition areas to find the feeling of winning, and they can make appointments with other competition areas The strong teams in the region test their quality; a weak team can also ask the strong teams in other regions to find exposure and challenges.In two months, each team will play more than ten games.

The latter game is played from January to March. At this time, it is the civil war in the competition area. Each team has to play against the teams in the competition area once, and some even play home and away games.Each team has to play 1 games in two months.

There are more than 30 games throughout the regular season. After all the contests are over, the team with the best record becomes the regular season champion.

At the end of the regular season, most leagues will take the top eight teams in the league to conduct a single-elimination league championship game, and the champions determined in the league championship game can basically automatically advance to the NCAA national championship.In addition to the automatic promotion of the champions of each league, the remaining places in the NCAA National Championships are determined by the committee, which is called an expanded invitation.Invitation qualifications are basically determined by the record, the strength of the alliance and other aspects.

The NCAA tournament is divided into three stages. The first stage is the first and second rounds, from the top 64 to the top 16. The Round of 16 is also known as the Sweet Sixteen.All the top 16 teams entering the second stage will receive a higher level of attention. This is also a stage where players who are interested in the draft can attract higher exposure and more scout attention.The second stage will go from the Sweet 16 to the Elite Eight and then to the Final Four.

In the end, at the pre-selected decisive battle location, the final four will go through semi-finals and finals to determine the champion.The game system that determines the outcome makes the game particularly fierce and cruel, but it also has unparalleled charm.The Final Four is the biggest stage of the NCAA. For those teams that are not traditional famous schools, being able to enter the championship is already worth celebrating, and advancing to the Final Four is a great honor.

As for the NCAA finals, that is the biggest event in American basketball.Every year, the finals will be held in the super stadium, and 10,000+ tickets will be sold out, and fans will also bring their families to cheer.The major TV stations will also try their best to build momentum and broadcast, and even the president of the United States will publicly stand in line, support his alma mater, and participate in the competition quiz.

This kind of influence is far inferior to the NBA Finals.Therefore, on the day of the NCAA finals in April every year, the NBA will suspend the game for one day.For American fans, compared with the NBA, the NCAA obviously has a greater sense of belonging.After all, the backbone of American society basically has college experience, and the games of these alma mater teams have become their youthful memories and the link to maintain their relationship.On the day of the finals, almost all Americans focused their attention on the young people who carried our youthful memories and entrusted our dreams.

UCLA, as the giant with the most championships in the NCAA National Championships, has not participated in the finals for many years!I saw hope last year, but regretted being out in the end.This year, the pressure on Alford has increased.So for this game against the University of Washington, he attaches great importance to it. On the evening of January 1, he led his coaching team to study for a long time. He had to do all the preparations to make the game safe and let the school committee and fans have full confidence in UCLA.

At 8:00 the next morning, people from UCLA set off from the hotel to the University of Washington.The game will officially start at 12 o'clock, so the "chefs" of UCLA even prepared food for the players.

The UW Huskies are not a traditional powerhouse team, nowhere near their football team.But in recent years, there have been faint signs of rising.

This year's UW admissions process is going well, and among the few people Alford specifically mentioned, two are this year's freshmen.

Power forward Marquese Chriss is a big man with very strong athletic ability and amazing explosive power.At the same time, he also has a very good mid-range shooting ability, and his outside shooting is also very good, and he feels very supple.The style of play is tough and very energetic. When facing the defense, the first step is very fast and can easily get rid of the opponent.Tall and long arms, quick feet, excellent ability to protect the basket, has great potential on the defensive end.

Point guard Dejounte Murray has excellent physical condition, with strong speed, agility, and explosive power.Has an excellent ball-handling ability, very sharp dribble, good at attacking the basket, finishing the offense in the breakthrough, good at pick-and-roll; defensive in place, with a 2.08-meter wingspan, can block the passing route.

An Luo also searched for it himself. These two guys were indeed very strong in the previous game.It seems that this game is still a bit difficult to play!
The atmosphere in the away game is really annoying!
An Luo was doing warm-up exercises in his own half. Even though he was wearing headphones, he could still hear the roaring cheers.Under the introduction of the on-site DJ, the players of the University of Washington rushed out of the player channel one by one.Any action they make can get a fierce response from the audience.

At 12:00, the game officially started.

Alex got the ball over the opponent's head, and Holiday caught the ball and advanced quickly. UCLA did not attack tentatively like in previous games, but sped up its offensive speed at the beginning of the game. When the opponent's foothold was not stable, Holiday assisted Prince and scored a layup.

2:0, UCLA takes the lead temporarily.

Turning heads, UW's Dejounte Murray headed straight for the penalty area under the cover of his own teammate, and then the ball was passed to Marquese Chriss on the left, who made an easy hit to tie the game.

Seeing the two freshman players cooperate so tacitly, the Washington fans at the scene seemed to have won the lottery, and they were all excited.An Luo shook his head, playing too much at Paley Stadium, he thought he was cheering for himself.

Washington's starting lineup has an absolute advantage in height.In fact, UCLA's lineup is always at a disadvantage against other teams, but in order to ensure faster speed, some height must be sacrificed.Alford really wants a few players who are tall and can run.

Both teams have advantages over each other.The game has just started, and everything is still unknown.
