On the 16th, the top ten leagues continued.

The Wolverines easily defeated their old rival Michigan State at home, and their opponents had no choice but to use the pick-and-roll cooperation between Wang Jun and Kaman.

The University of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Northwestern University also fell one by one at the feet of the wolverines.

On January 30, the Wolverines defeated the Indiana University Mountains at home to complete revenge.

The Chinese New Year is here, and Wang Jun called home to pay New Year's greetings. His aunt's family and sister still don't know about him playing basketball. They don't care about sports news and don't watch football and basketball games.

My sister told him to be careful and not be too tired when working. He didn't say about playing basketball, but just discussed with his aunt to help Wang Leying apply for a passport in China and prepare to study in the United States after graduating from high school.

Now he has an economic foundation and can take care of his sister abroad. It is not common for him to stay at a relative's house.

In the remaining games, the Wolverines only encountered challenges against the University of Illinois, narrowly won by 4 points, and easily defeated the first place in the regular season.

After Wang Jun became famous, his opponents were strictly guarded against him and failed to perform very high scores. He only scored 31 points against the Wildcats. The data in other games was relatively average, and he still averaged 202 points per game, ranking second in the team.

Eleven teams, the top eight entered the playoffs.

Last season, the Wolverines were eliminated in the first game of the playoffs. This time they were unstoppable, defeating the Golden Gophers for 25 points in the first game, Wang Jun made 5 of 10 three-pointers, scoring 21 points and 5 rebounds in the whole game.

In the second game at the University of Wisconsin, the Wolverines made a large number of pass mistakes. Harris led the team to counterattack and once led by 16 points in the first half.

In the second half, Kaman performed well on both offense and defense, stabilizing the situation. In the fourth quarter, Wang Jun helped the team overtake two consecutive three-pointers.

Charles Brown, who returned, was eager to perform, and made consecutive blows in the fourth quarter, bringing the team into the pit. The Wolverines laughed to the end and won 7 points.

Kaman dominated the inside with 33 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks, and Wang Jun also scored 17 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists.

The Wolverines made the finals against the University of Illinois Militant Illinois.

At this point, the Wolverines locked in the NCAA Championship in advance, and the only suspense was that they would become the No. 1 seeds in the Central and Western Districts.

The team has four days off, and David only lets the players take one day off before starting training and practicing tactics.

After training, David convened everyone to a meeting and said loudly: "This game is related to the championship. If you lose, not only will you lose the top ten league championship trophy, but you may also encounter strong teams in the Central and Western District in advance. I will not allow anyone to relax. Everyone must be twelve points and pay attention to the game."

There must be no accidents at this time, you must win. If you lose, the player's mentality will definitely be affected, which is too disgusting.

David continued: "The Illinois are a strong passer team. They only lost one home game and ranked third in the regular season. I am not alarmist in this game. They are in the running-in stage of the regular season, and the newcomers perform better and better in the second half of the season. Their injured main shooting guard has also returned, and their strength has improved significantly. We have to play all our advantages."

Two Illinois defenders, Dee Brondron Williams, both have strong personal abilities.

In the first half of the season, they did not cooperate well with the old players, but they were more active in fast attacks.

In the second half, people clearly saw Delong's progress. He was not like a first-year defender in controlling the rhythm, and he combined the score and score very well.

Di Brown continued to exert his power in the fast attack, and was very fast.

Sophomore shooting guard Luther Hyde missed fourteen games due to injury. As the team's number one three-pointer, his failure to play directly affects the team's offensive system.

After his comeback, Hyde averaged 113 points per game. Although his score was not high, his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 48, the number one in the top ten leagues.

Roger Powell has a strong physical fitness and has become famous as early as last season. He is the top three small forward in the top ten leagues.

Power forward James Augustine, with great physical fitness, good at attacking and defending, and good at shooting in the middle, he was paid attention to NBA scouts in the second grade and is likely to log in to NBA in the future.

The team's core is center Brian Cook. This inside player with a 206c height has a shooting range beyond the three-point line. He will definitely be selected for the draft this year and may become a lottery pick.

Cook's defense is not very good. He cannot defend Kaman in both games in the regular season, which may cause him to decline in the overall position. But his ability is unquestionable.

Judging from the overall strength, the Wolverines' strengths are only Carman and Wang Jun. The five substitutes of the Illinois, Di Brown, have the potential to play against the NBA.

This team is definitely qualified to challenge the Wolverines, and even enters the championship, they can compete with famous universities such as Duke and Kentucky.

David attached great importance to it, so he did not disband after the training. Let's watch the Illinois last game, observe the opponents, and find weaknesses.

On the other hand, the Illinois are also studying the Wolverines, and the coach and the players watch representative game videos of Wang Jun and Kaman.

After an attack, head coach Bill Self stood up with the remote control and asked: "Did you see anything?"

Delong raised his hand and said, "Their scoring points are relatively concentrated."

Cook continued: "Apart from Wang Jun, they don't have the second stable three-point shooting point."

Bill nodded and shouted: "You are right, but I will only say one thing. The key to dealing with Wolverines is to defend against their high pick-and-roll."

Bill used the remote control to rewind the video a little, and Wang Jun and Kaman scored a goal in the video.

He paused the video and continued: "Whether Wang Jun Luke or Harris, there are threats to jump shot after pick-and-roll in the inside, you must switch defenses in time. In addition, it is to prevent Kaman from cutting in the air, so Roger guards the middle and uses your strength to block Kaman. This is very important. No matter who faces Wang Jun on the side, he must follow closely. Once he finds the feel, he can't stop it."

Hyde disagreed and was a little angry.

If he and Wang Jun are in a match, he thinks he has a clear advantage and can beat Wang Jun.

Hyde's goal is also to play NBA, and he believes that he has the ability to become a star. Not only does he shoot accurately, fast speed, bounce strongly, and can perform difficult dunks, but he also has excellent breakthrough skills.

Why do two new players get a lot of shots? But he can only wait for opportunities on the outside

If he is arranged for a double pick-and-roll tactic, Hyde firmly believes that he can score a lot of points and even becomes the team's scoring champion.

He didn't play the first two games, and the team lost. As long as he wins this time, it is a good opportunity to prove himself.

Bill continued to emphasize defense: "Defending Kaman and Wang Jun, others are not afraid of shooting. They can prevent them from shooting. Others can prevent breakouts and not shots from the outside. Pull out the inside of the offensive end and the defender breaks through. Kaman is not fast and bolder than him. Peripheral players must be determined to catch the ball and take advantage of your advantages."

The team members listened very seriously and their eyes revealed their desire for victory.

Bill made a concluding remarks with satisfaction. "I believe we will win the championship. We will use a victory to enter the championship. Do you have confidence?"

"There are" Illinois players shouted together.

When they reached the finals, no one wanted to lose, and their morale was very strong.

All three defenders want to perform, but only two can do it, which is a healthy competition within the team.

Brian Cook wants to use victory to improve his draft pick, and the two forward players also feel that they have an advantage because the Wolverines' forward line is a weakness.

In the finals, the Wolverines faced severe challenges.
