The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

In the United States, the most popular basketball is not the NBA, but the American College Basketball League, referred to as the NCAA. Although in the world, the NBA has a greater influence and a wider audience, but here, the NCAA is Many old beauties have good hearts.

There was a survey conducted in the United States this year, assuming that the NCAA decisive battle and the seventh game of the NBA Finals were played at the same time, 87% of the respondents chose to watch the former.

And if you are studying in the United States, if you want to quickly get closer to your classmates, you must have a good understanding of the topic of NCAA.

Zuo Li is no stranger to the NCAA. On the contrary, Zuo Li has been very familiar with him in his last life. After all, he once worked as an assistant coach in high school, and the main task of a high school coach is to teach players who can adapt to the NCAA.

Zuo Li was also very surprised at the time, why the NBA, which is extremely popular in China and has a significantly higher level, is not as popular as the NCAA in the United States, and it was only when Zuo Li came here that he understood the reason.

It is nothing more than two points. The first is the unique competition system of the NCAA, and the second is of course pure love.

Pure love is easy to understand. After all, compared with the NBA, which is full of commercial elements, NCAA players have no salary. In NCAA, every player will fight for his dreams, for his teammates, and for his school. war.

The most important thing, of course, is the unique competition system of the NCAA. Bob found Zuo Li specifically a few days ago, and chatted with Zuo Li a lot about their schedule for this season. All leagues are different.

The NCAA schedule starts in November of each year, usually ends the regular season before March, and then has a crazy March. The regular season is similar to high school, with home and away double games, single-game elimination after the top eight, until the championship is decided .

The champions of each first-level league will directly enter the top 64, and the remaining leagues will be invited by the NCAA committee to produce and expand invitations.

Then, the NCAA Tournament officially began.

The cruel competition system of life and death in the first battle makes it impossible for both sides to retreat in the confrontation between the two armies. They can either win or go home. It is so exciting and this is the true meaning of "March Madness".

After several months of fighting to enter the top 64, and then go home after a game, it is exciting to think about it, and this is also very in line with American aesthetics. They like this kind of drama where underdogs beat giants. It happens a lot in the NCAA.

This is the biggest reason why NCAA is popular. It's really exciting whether to say it or not!

Oh, and speaking of alliances, in the NCAA, more than 1000 four-year universities in the United States and Canada are divided into three levels and dozens of alliances.

Among them, the Big Eastern League, the Pacific [-] School League, the Big Ten League, the Big [-] League, the Atlantic Coast League and the Southeast League are the top six divisional leagues in the first-level leagues. Their league champions have priority to participate in the cup after the season. the right to race.

And Davidson College is in the Southern Conference of the Midwest Division. There are not many teams in the league that can do it. The third-rate players in the NCAA, apart from winning the league championship, they have no other way to enter the top 64.

Therefore, if Davidson College wants to enter the NCAA tournament, their goal for this season has been determined, and that is to win the Southern Conference championship that has not been won for decades.

This is also the reason why the outside world is not optimistic about Zuo Li joining Davidson. It is more difficult than going to a famous school to break through here.

And the degree of attention is different. Playing in a good school will naturally get more attention. After all, during March Madness, 99% of the schools in the Southern League have gone home and prepared for the next season in advance.

Curry played well last season, but he still didn't get much attention for this reason.

But it was done, Zuo Li still chose this place.

Because he believes that records are broken by others. If he remembers correctly, Curry took Davidson like this to break into the quarterfinals in a historic way. Strength, otherwise Curry, who has been underestimated, will not be picked by the high pick.

But now, the addition of Zuo Li has made this team even stronger. Zuo Li naturally has reason to believe that he will give everyone a big surprise.

Of course, now is not the time for spoilers.

The time came to November 11th, and Davidson University finally ushered in their season debut. The opponent was the well-known Stanford University, but in the NCAA, this name corresponds to the belly, and there is no future in the team. NBA players.

But this did not affect the influx of dozens of reporters in Davidson's small arena. It was clearly evening, but the lights on the sidelines were brighter than in the daytime.

"By the way, the NCAA is so popular, and the Southern League has so many attendances." Zuo Li, who had just entered the stadium, was a little confused. The position of the station is gone, is this the NCAA?

As soon as this remark came out, Curry was speechless. Thinking about when he first came last season, the stadium was just full every game, and the reporters on the sidelines would not exceed two people even if they were full. Basically, a small notebook would be enough. Well, why do we need long guns and short guns? After the game, there are no interviews. It's all routine. Look at the present...

"Zuo Li, they all came to see you." Curry patted Zuo Li's shoulder painfully. Fortunately, he and Zuo Li had been teammates for three years, and he was used to such blows, otherwise.

Curry turned his head to look at Zuo Li's teammates who were still staring at him in a daze, and he would be completely dumbfounded just like them.

"After reading it, is it necessary? It's just a Stanford." Zuo Li scratched his head, not understanding the brain circuit of the reporters.

No matter, let's play first and then talk!

Zuo Li was gearing up a bit, and he also wanted to know how much better the people in the university were than in the high school!

But after the game, Zuo Li was disappointed. Stanford was really too weak. The only person in the team who was 2 meters tall was slow to move. Zuo Li didn't need to use the new shot that he had just practiced for three months in the whole game. , It is enough to rush, attack, catch the ball and turn around to dunk the ball into the basket.

The Stanford University players ran away immediately after the game. At the beginning, they saw this formation and they still had the heart to perform well, but it was only after the fight that they realized that they were completely abused.

The audience was 90 to 45, which was twice the score. It is not a glorious thing to say.

Zuo Li played 30 minutes in the first game of the NCAA, with 15 minutes in the first half and 20 minutes in the second half. Because of the special rules of the NCAA, the game is only divided into the second half, 35 minutes each, and the offensive round is [-] seconds, which greatly reduces the scoring efficiency.

但依旧没有拦住左立拿到30分15篮板7封盖的数据，他也成为戴维森历史上第一个首战就拿到30+15的球员。

Curry maintained his strength from last season, scoring 26 points and 10 assists. The tacit cooperation between the two made the game lose suspense early.

After the game, facing the long guns and short guns on the sidelines, Zuo Li also uttered a famous saying that will be widely circulated in the future: "This game is very easy, thank you for your support, but what are you looking forward to, don't think I will lose?"
