Chapter 41 Why not us?(1/2)
"Luck, congratulations on your victory over UNLV. You scored 56 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in this game. How do you feel now? How far do you think the University of Washington can go this year?"
"The only thing I feel now is that I want to take a shower right away, and then find a bed to lie down on. As for the predicted result... of course it is the NCAA championship! We have the strength, and I am confident that we can do it!"
"How do you evaluate your opponent Anderson Hunter? He also scored 34 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists in this game. Did he cause you any trouble?"
"Anderson Hunter is a good player and he shoots well, but the UNLV team lacks shooters. As long as we shrink our defense, no one in UNLV can score easily except him, and neither does Larry, so we win!"
……
After defeating UNLV, the Huskies' games have indeed become much easier. Most of them are civil wars in the P-10 league, and the Huskies have a large number of home games.
The Washington Huskies didn't encounter any surprises, and they kept winning and had an unparalleled record.
After the Spring Festival, there was a new group of reporters following the University of Washington Huskies—Chinese reporters!
Fortunately, they are all written interviews. Lu Feng's life has not changed much. He just needs to pay a little attention to whether it is a regular media. Lu Feng cannot even see those third-rate media. As an assistant, Zhang Weiping will help him block them.
p>
The arrival of Chinese reporters did not attract much attention. At most, there were more reporters accompanying the Huskies.
The Husky team members didn't feel anything at all. In the past three months, they had met too many Asian reporters. Whether they were Chinese or not, they were all the same.
In previous games, Asian reporters would appear every time the Huskies played. Driven by the NBA and various university media, Lu Feng's name has long been spread throughout Asia.
In the 1990s, NBA promotion in Japan and South Korea was very successful. In 1990, NBA teams went to Japan and South Korea to play preseason games, but they failed to make any splash in China.
But in the 21st century, this situation has magically reversed. The NBA has become more and more popular in China, while the ratings of Japan and South Korea have been cut in half every year since 2000. In the end, the broadcast contracts were not even renewed.
For Lu Feng, no reporter can affect his daily life. He is already used to it anyway.
In early February, the national men's basketball team came to Seattle again. This time, although people from the Basketball Association and the Sports Bureau also came, those people were mainly there to inspect various American sports leagues and the entire NCAA, and they did not stay there all the time.
Seattle.
Of course, the national team does not just stay in Seattle. They will also go to other universities to exchange and study (seeking abuse), but they just spend more time in Seattle.
This time there have been some changes in the roster of the national team, with Liu Yudong and Hu Weidong joining.
Fortunately for Liu Yudong, in the original history, he would have taken a position, while Hu Weidong joined the national team earlier. What happened to Lu Feng is unknown, and maybe there is a reason for his appearance.
In addition, Lu Feng learned that in order to make room for him, Gong Luming chose to retire early, and then immediately joined the national team coaching staff and became the national team's shooting coach and dribbling coach.
After getting along with each other for two days, Lu Feng discovered that the basic skills of the national team members had improved a lot, mainly because they had corrected some outrageous bad habits, and they had also gained some muscle.
Practice a lot.
Lu Feng also tried to form a team with his national team teammates to play a training match with the Huskies 4 Tigers. The effect was pretty good and it was not a one-sided defeat.
The Huskies and Tigers have gone through so many games and trainings, and they are no longer the weaklings they were in history. Lu Feng feels that even without him, the results of the current Huskies will not be too bad, and they can at least make it to March Madness.<
/p>
Time passes slowly, and the P-10 league points match is almost over, followed by the league championship.
The P-10 League (Pacific Ten Schools League) is one of the most involved divisions in the NCAA. It can maintain more than 3 teams entering the NCAA March Madness Championship every year. At its peak, there were even 6 teams competing in the NCAA March Madness Tournament.
Enter March Madness!
This year, in addition to several traditional strong teams in the P-10 league, there was also a hungry Husky, which is terrifying!
Needless to say, the Huskies have suddenly emerged. In addition to the Huskies, the University of Arizona Wildcats, Oregon State Beavers, University of California Golden Bears and UCLA in the P-10 league are all capable of competing for March Madness tickets.
As a famous sports school, the University of Southern California has almost been beaten to death by several other teams. All the winning points gained in the challenge game have been spit out in the league points game. They have lost consecutively in the P-10 league civil war. Can they win?
Going crazy is a problem.
Lu Feng discovered that if you want to enter the NCAA, which league the school joins is also very important. For example, the WCC (West Coast Conference) where LMU is located and the SEC (Southeastern Conference) where LSU is located are just a bunch of fish this year, making it easy to get into the NCAA.
You can enter March Madness.
The P-10 League teams have very bad luck this year, because the 1989-90 season was the last time the P-10 League held a league championship.
In the last league championship, everyone wanted to win this monumental league championship, but they ran into the extremely powerful Huskies. Several other teams simply wanted to vomit blood!
After the p-10 league points competition started, all the teams in other divisions were watching the excitement, waiting for the Huskies to overturn!
The NCAA has multiple serious involution leagues, the P-10 League, the Big Ten Conference and the West Coast Conference. These three most serious involution leagues have overturned teams every year. They remain undefeated in the challenge and then compete in the league.
It's not uncommon for people to get upset.
But the Huskies disappointed countless media and teams who were waiting to see the excitement. The Huskies really finished 27 regular season games without losing a game!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The strength shown by the Huskies is frightening. They look like they can really win and win the championship. No joke!
In 27 regular season games, Lu Feng produced statistics that shocked countless people—averaging 40.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game, in addition to 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks!
In addition, Lu Feng's field goal percentage is 59.7%, the three-point shooting percentage is 47.3%, and the free throw shooting percentage is 91.6%. The efficiency is much higher than others, and the three shooting percentages are higher than the second-scoring Berg Kimbell.
But looking at the scores, whether it is quantity or quality, Lu Feng is the only one in the NCAA!
(Birkin Bell’s three shooting percentages are 52.9%, 46%, and 86.2%. This fairy was outrageous before the closure!)
The 1989-90 season is destined to be Lu Feng's harvest season. Countless awards can be given directly to him without even having to be selected!
As expected by various media, as soon as the regular season ended, Lu Feng was named the P-10 League Player of the Year and was successfully selected into the P-10 League All-Player Team.
In addition to Lu Feng of the Huskies, Jeff Brown was also selected into the P-10 league best player team. His season averages of 26.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game are also very good, with 56%, 36%, and 79% in three categories.
The hit rate is also quite good!
Lynn Nance also became the best head coach in the P-10 league. Compared with Lu Feng and Jeff Brown, Lynn Nance was much more excited after winning the award.
Lu Feng and Jeff Brown had no feeling at all when they won the award. They had expected this for a long time.
Although Lynn Nance also guessed that he would win the award, when he actually got it, he still couldn't control his joy and couldn't help but steal the show in various interviews!
Lynn Nance's story has been excavated by the media. Last year, he led St. Mary's Men's University to a 25-5 record, ranked first in the West Coast Conference, and also won the West Coast Conference's best head coach.
But when March Madness began, St. Mary's Men's University was eliminated in the first round. It had the best record but was eliminated first.
Then, Lynn Nance's contract renewal ran into trouble. St. Mary's Men's University thought that he had achieved good results because of the good lineup of the team. After a holiday, they suddenly announced the hiring of a new coach and directly dismissed Lynn Nance.
Kicked out.
Lynn Nance was cheated by St. Mary's Men's University. When he was given up, other schools that were short of coaches had basically signed their contracts. Lynn Nance once faced unemployment and almost left the NCAA.
In the end, it was the University of Washington that gave him a helping hand because of his status as an alumnus, so that he could continue to compete in the NCAA.
After changing teams and divisions, Lynn Nance is still the best head coach. On the other hand, St. Mary's Men's University...
The person who replaced Lynn Nance at St. Mary's Men's University was named Paul Landero. The St. Mary's Men's University led by him, with the lineup basically unchanged, saw its record dive from 25-5 in the previous year to 7-7.
20!
What’s even more ridiculous is that this man has absolutely no basketball experience. He has never played high school basketball or college basketball, and he has no coaching experience. He became the head coach of St. Mary’s Men’s University by relying on his connections.
In the original world, after leading the team for two years and being fired, he was quickly hired as the team operations officer by St. Mary's Men's University. It is indeed amazing!
Although there are often scenes of Lu Feng holding the tactical board in Huskies games, the media compared the two-year record of St. Mary's Men's University and still recognized Lynn Nance's strength and praised him for his potential to become the next "famous coach."<

……
It’s March and the P-10 League Championship officially begins!
The P-10 League Championship is divided into 4 rounds. The top 6 teams will automatically advance to the second round. The bottom 4 teams will face off in pairs, and the winner will advance.
The Huskies automatically advance to the second round and can play one less game.
But one thing made them unhappy. The arena selected for the 1990 P-10 Conference Championship was the Desert Financial Center Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.
Flying from Seattle to Phoenix, you can imagine the experience of Huskies...
What’s even more sinister is that the games in the P-10 League Championship are all back-to-back. If the Huskies advance all the way, it’s equivalent to playing back-to-back!
If the bottom 4 teams reach the end, they need to play back-to-back to back-to-back... The person who came up with this schedule is really not an ordinary genius!
On March 9, after waiting for a day, the Huskies welcomed their opponent-the Arizona Sun Devils!
The Arizona State Sun Devils just won a tough defensive battle with the University of Washington Cougars (not Seattle) yesterday, and today they need to play back-to-back games with the well-rested Huskies. The result of the game can be imagined.
Although the Huskies played against the Sun Devils on the road, they still won easily.
In the second round, the Huskies met their old rival UCLA. They were really bad this year. They were discouraged by the Huskies from the opening game. Their regular season record ranked only fourth in the P-10 league. However, UCLA already had enough points. Even if
Even if you lose, you can still enter the Crazy Three.
Facing his old rival, Lu Feng was full of firepower. He made 7 of 11 three-pointers and scored 44 points. He won the victory without a single blow!
UCLA suffered three consecutive defeats against the Huskies in a single season. Jim Harrick was on the verge of tears. This year, the Huskies are the sufferers of UCLA!
"Lynn, congratulations to you. To be honest, I don't want to see you at all now. I never thought that I could lose to the same person three times in one season!"
"If you want to be more creative, Coach Jim, maybe we can meet in the March Madness finals?"
Jim Harrick: "..."
After getting along with Lu Feng and Jeff Brown for a long time, Lynn Nance has become more and more kind and has learned to be humorous...
After defeating UCLA, the Huskies thought their opponent would be the University of Arizona Wildcats, but they didn't expect that the other team would be the Oregon State Beavers.
To be continued...
