Chapter 29 Arrangements for the Wildcats
It happened to be afternoon when I got back to Davidson College.
The cute Curry has returned to the Belk Arena from Phoenix, and is currently training crazily on the field.
After seeing Su Yi, Curry smiled.
"Morning, Curry." Su Yi politely greeted the pupils.
"A good news or a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Curry asked Su Yi pretending to be mysterious.
Su Yi thought about it for a while, and it seemed that the elementary school student already knew some inside information, and he was also eager to know the arrangements for March Madness.
"Then let's listen first." At this time, Su Yi was actually a little excited, because March Madness was very important to himself and Curry, and he didn't let it go.
"We got an invitation from the committee and we can book a ticket to Indiana!" Curry obviously looked more excited.
"This is so cool, Curry!"
It could be considered that a stone fell to the ground, and Su Yi and Curry hugged each other tightly.
They have done their best in the regular season, and the tickets for March Madness are the best reward for their efforts.
"There is also bad news, that is, we may be the last seed." Curry spread his hands.
"Are you sure about the reliability of this news?" Su Yi asked after being silent for a while.
After all, according to the NCAA's competition system, the list of matches can only be finalized at the last moment, and no one knows who their next opponent will be.
Now all channels are gossip, maybe Curry heard fake news (false news) from nowhere.
So Su Yi held a dubious attitude.
According to his understanding, his team should be ranked at least around the 13th or 14th seed, and the result of the 16th seed is indeed disappointing.
"McKillop consulted those officials, and they said that the competition for places this year is very fierce, and being able to catch the last train to Indiana is already the best result." Curry shrugged.
Looking at Curry's sincere eyes, Su Yi still confirmed this fact, because McKillop's news is generally reliable.
Although there is a lot of accidental factors in the single-elimination elimination system of NCAA games, there has never been a precedent in history where the No. 16 seed overturned the champion seed by upset, not even once.
The so-called "sweet top 16", the sweet ones are the strong teams. In this round, the strong teams can generally qualify together without any pressure.
But this result was not sweet for Su Yi and the Wildcats.
Because if you return to Davidson College after a round of tour, you can basically say that you will not get any attention from scouts, let alone any NBA team extending an olive branch to you.
A sharp whistle came.
Coach McKillop called everyone into the conference room.
Facts have proved that what was said just now was indeed not Curry's prank. The content of McKillop's speech basically repeated what Curry said just now.
"What do you think?" Curry tilted his head and asked Su Yi beside him.
"History is created by people!" Su Yi became firm. Since the result cannot be changed, he can only work hard to the end.
After all, Davidson College has created so many miracles, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Coach McKillop began to write stroke by stroke on the whiteboard.
Finally he stopped, and Su Yi and Curry could see the words on the blackboard clearly.
"Kansas Jayhawks"
The players talked one after another.
This is the team's mortal enemy who sent away the Wildcats last year!
Curry regretted losing the key three-pointer last year. If he meets the Jayhawks again in the first round this year, he would dream of winning.
It's just that the Jayhawks are best at using big men. Their interior has absolute air dominance, and they are good at pick-and-rolls and defense. The team's style of play is exactly the same as that of the Wildcats.
Last year, when the rim protector and ball handler had not yet graduated, the Wildcats had already tried their best to bite the Jayhawks to the end.
In addition, the Jayhawks are predicted to be the No. [-] seed in the Midwest Division this year, and their strength is obviously stronger than last year, so it is really not easy to win.
McKillop continued to emphasize to everyone the core thinking of facing the Jayhawks, which is nothing more than breaking the zone defense, defending around the front and preventing big men from receiving the ball.
This has been said last year, and this year McKillop did not say anything new.
Curry has experienced the tight defense of the University of Kansas. If he hadn't made a few fairy shots last year, he might have lost even more.
"Next, I'll give you an appointment for a warm-up match with the University of Oklahoma roster team. We must hurry up and try to get in every chance! No matter what the result is, we will play better than last year!" McKillop continued road.
The University of Oklahoma basketball team is projected to be the No. [-] seed in the Southern Division this year (the No. [-] seed is North Carolina).
Their core player is this year's No. [-] pick: Blake Griffin-the strength of a center, the jumping and ball handling of a guard, and it can be said that there are almost no shortcomings except wingspan.
In addition, the main power forward of the roster team is called Taylor Griffin. This person is the brother of our Blake Griffin and is also a very powerful second center.
Together, these two formed the University of Oklahoma's invincible inside line. The duo of brothers hit the goal with double ghosts in the NCAA arena, averaging 20 rebounds per game.
In this year's non-routine game, the Wildcats once lost to the roster team. Blake Griffin angrily picked up 21 rebounds and scored 25 points in that game.
However, Curry's sudden shots in that game also caused a lot of trouble for the roster team, and the game didn't decide the winner until the last minute.
So after McKillop's struggle, the two teams decided to hold a training match in an empty field at the Belk Arena.
The University of Oklahoma plays more like the University of Kansas, so this warm-up game also makes sense.
After a brief arrangement, the players began to practice together.
After Su Yi trained with the Lakers, his strength also increased a lot.
Lovedale and Ben Arison came to warm up with Su Yi respectively.
Facing their defense, Su Yi can score easily now.
There were footsteps at the door, and a school bus stopped outside the stadium.
A white man in a white jersey and baseball cap walked in with a smile on his face.
It is none other than the legendary dunk king Blake Griffin.
Following him was his older brother, the Great Griffin.
Didn't expect the players from the roster team to arrive so early!
Curry and Su Yi went up and had a chat with them.
The two sides have met in previous matches, so they are familiar with each other.
The two brothers played tough and tough on the court, but they were actually very humble big men.
Then the players from both sides sat in a circle and began to exchange tactics.
Because the two sides theoretically have to meet at the earliest time in the "Final Four", it can be said that it is basically impossible for this to happen.
So everyone had no reservations, and discussed the plan for today's training.
Blake Griffin puts down his backpack and prepares to warm up.
What happened next stunned Su Yi.
He can dribble three basketballs at the same time for crotch dribble while accelerating forward.
The feel of the ball looks just like juggling!
He then dropped two basketballs and tossed a ball over the backboard.
After receiving it in the air, he changed hands behind his back and added a round windmill, smashing the ball into the basket abruptly.
Golden State LaVine was almost stunned when he saw this scene.
As expected of this year's No. [-] pick, this bounce is too terrifying.
