Chapter 41 The Arrogant Man
The grouping situation was not much different from what Su Yi expected.
After preparing for so long, the opponent in the first round was the University of Kansas Jayhawks, and the hard work was not in vain.
The only surprising thing is that the same favorites, the University of Louisville Cardinals, were assigned the No. 4 seed.
In other words, according to the rules of the schedule, if the Cardinals advance successfully, they will meet the winner of the Wildcats and Jayhawks in the next round.
The Cardinals have two lottery picks this year, Earl Clark and Terrence Williams.
It's just because the Cardinals didn't get into form at the beginning of this year's season and didn't win a few tough battles well. However, after getting into form in the later stages, it can be said that they won consecutively.
Su Yi felt that a lineup like the Cardinals should be ranked second seed.
But the NCAA committee can only use two words to describe it - willful!
Those old men said: I don’t want you to think, I want me to feel...
This is the legendary subjectivity. Every year, the NCAA will make strange seedings for the sake of ratings.
After all, it is necessary to satisfy the desires of those gamblers, and strong teams meeting in advance can increase some ratings.
But this wave of arrangements can be said to be very targeted for the Wildcats.
This wave can be called a wild cat chasing an eagle, with the cardinal following behind.
Su Yi scratched his head, feeling that the whole world was targeting the cute wild cat.
However, sooner or later, you will have to pay for it. If you want to cut off the net and win the final championship, you will still encounter these opponents sooner or later, so it is better to take a chance in advance.
So Su Yi didn't really care. He lay on the bed and turned on the TV, wanting to see what reports about March Madness were currently on the TV station.
T...
Major TV stations are flooding in with coverage of March Madness.
In addition to basketball's "March Madness", the NCAA also has many other sports, such as football, baseball, and ice hockey.
The media reports the most about basketball are famous schools such as North Carolina and Duke.
Su Yi wanted to find reports about the Wildcats, but... there were none.
I can find some reports about the University of Kansas Jayhawks. After all, they are the defending champions.
It was seen in the camera that as soon as they got off the plane, there were many cameras following them interviewing the Jayhawks players.
It can be seen from the expressions of these Jayhawks players that they are very proud.
Unlike the Wildcats, who all wore casual clothes, each of them wore a crisp suit and completely ignored the reporters who came to interview them.
With their attire, they don’t look like basketball players coming to play, but like entertainment stars who want to show off.
The players of the Jayhawks are all talented and well-known, and have always been paid attention to by various media, so they are particularly concerned about their own image.
Coupled with the long history of their school, when it comes to being a member of the Jayhawks, outsiders respect him three points.
Their shuttle was filled with sausages and sandwiches, and you could tell the team's atmosphere was very relaxed.
After all, for elite schools, the first round of games is not very stressful, so in the eyes of the Jayhawks players, it makes perfect sense to relax first in order to find the state to cope with the subsequent games.
These reports from the TV stations are just for gimmicks, and they don’t report much substantial content.
So Su Yi watched it for a while and felt it wasn't very interesting, so he changed the channel.
Moreover, I don’t like arrogant people, so I felt uncomfortable when I saw their expressions, which made me more determined to educate them during the competition.
Did you say it was a coincidence or not?
As soon as I tuned the channel, I found members of the Jayhawks in another column.
This program is an entertainment program called "The Ellen DeGeneres Show".
The Jayhawks players still have the same bad faces.
Is this the legendary lingering ghost?
Su Yi smiled and thought that they might be quite destined, so he stopped to see what they would say.
The host is a beauty with short blond hair - Ellen DeGeneres.
It's quite interesting to think that the Jayhawks players still have time to participate in variety shows.
The two players sitting in the middle of the sofa opposite Allen are the main inside players of the Jayhawks:
Center Cole Aldridge, power forward Marcus Morris.
They are also the tactical focus that the Wildcats will have to target in the next game.
The tactics manual says it very clearly:
Cole Aldridge, 2.11m tall, is a defensive warrior. It can be said that the inside is his no-fly zone. His single-season block data this season has broken the school history record of the University of Kansas.
In addition, his protection of rebounds is also very good. This white center averaged 11 rebounds per game this season.
Marcus Morris, 2.06m tall, is a freshman. He is very good at shouldering the opponent in the paint for singles. He is also very cunning in the paint and has certain shooting ability. He is very difficult to deal with on the offensive end.
Opponent. The only disadvantage is that his wingspan is relatively short, so he will have some difficulty when defending.
Both players are projected to be lottery picks in this year's draft.
In addition, point guard Sherron Collins was selected to the first team of the Big 12 Division.
Shooting guard Sean Taylor was also selected to this year's Big 12 All-Freshman Team.
It can be said that almost all the main players present are blessed with various auras.
Allen smiled intellectually at the players opposite, and then the interview began.
Allen looked at Cole Aldridge and asked: "It can be seen that the overall state of the Jayhawks this year is very relaxed. Are they ready for the next game?"
Marcus Morris said: "Of course, our goal this year is only to win the championship, and no one can stop us."
Allen nodded and looked at Marcus Morris: "I heard that the Wildcats are currently conducting targeted training. I wonder if you will feel pressure during it?"
Cole Aldridge was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You know, top students will not schedule their review plan until the day before the exam. As for the level of the team that has not been well integrated at this stage, what is the level?
, I think there’s no need to say more.”
Marcus Morris also went on to say: "Actually, given the difference in strength, I think it is more useful for them to pray."
The Jayhawks players all laughed together.
Allen was a little embarrassed by their answers, but based on his professionalism, he politely continued to ask: "Davidson College only lost to the University of Kansas by two points last year. In other words, the Jayhawks are confident of winning a game this year."
An easy victory, right?"
Cole Aldridge said condescendingly: "Is Davidson a school or their captain? I actually don't remember playing this team last year. I feel like our conversation could be more about the next round of Reds."
Sparrows."
All the media have praised this year's Jayhawks team to the sky, and the players on the team are also treated like stars. Of course, they don't want Allen to mention the experience of nearly overturning last year, so Cole Aldridge did this deliberately.
explain.
