last super center

Chapter 26

"Shit! Shit!! Shit!!!"

In the locker room of Southern Kentucky University, Glenn Cossian said "shit" three times and put a towel on his head in a slumped manner.

"We can't win, the gap is too big, the opponent's strength is beyond imagination, we really have no chance at all!" After experiencing the nightmare of 10 minutes, Glenn Cosey finally recognized the reality.

In the face of a huge gap in strength, the determination to win and the belief in hard work often appear vulnerable.

That is not a situation that can be recovered by relying on spirit. No matter how fancy the tactics are, no matter how hard the pre-match preparation is, they will be ruthlessly crushed before the absolute talent.

Just like the matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Lakers that year, Iverson, as a historical super scorer, also seemed helpless when facing the Los Angeles Lakers led by O'Neal.

Some people say that the league hacked Iverson's victory back then, but fans who understand football understand that Uncle Mu was crushed ruthlessly under him like a fragile baby in front of O'Neal.

You know, O'Neal during the three consecutive championships was the peak moment of the Sharks' career. He was overweight, had no solution to the basket, and entering the paint area was a cruel dunk. In the 76s, the [-]ers were far from the opponents of the Los Angeles Lakers.

"Yes, we can't beat the opponent."

Not only Glenn Cosey has this idea, even the coach.

They tried their best to prove themselves on the court, but they were rejected again and again, and they didn't even have a chance to get inside.

The inability to face the basket and cause damage to the opponent in the most threatening place means that the team cannot reduce the score on the court, and can only watch the opponent and do whatever it wants inside.

20 points in the half, but the opponent scored a terrifying 52 points. Is there a more humiliating fact than this?
You must know that the 64 teams that entered the NCAA "March Madness" all stood out from countless fights, and the fact that their strength has been crushed to such an extent is unimaginable to everyone.

There was silence in the locker room. After a short period of impotent rage, everyone, including the head coach, fell silent.

They wanted to say something, but they didn't know how to express it.

During the final intermission, Jeff Neubauer said with difficulty: "Boys, you are already great. You have defeated many opponents and stood on this stage that attracts attention. This is the biggest It is also our greatest honor!"

"Let's enjoy the game. No matter what the final result is, let us do our best and cause some trouble to our opponents, which will be considered our victory!"

After changing sides and fighting again, when the Kansas Jayhawks steadily dispatched all their main players, the players of Southern Kentucky University were desperate!
Seeing Su Mu walking towards him, Glenn Cosey shouted in his heart: "Don't come here, don't come here!"

It was this smiling Chinese player who blocked himself 7 times in the first half of the game. What a cruel fact!
7 blocked shots happened in just 20 minutes. Glenn Cosey was already psychologically affected, and he didn't even dare to take any action in the penalty area guarded by Su Mu.

The ace scorer of Southern Kentucky University was scared out of his wits by Su Mu alone!

"The other side seemed a little sad. Their expressions looked very constipated." Embiid said relaxedly.

"We scored 52:20 at halftime. If I were them, I would have given up resistance." Wiggins just wanted to clock in and get off work early. Such a game is meaningless to the Jayhawks.

"Okay, you two really think that you are very strong. The opponent in the first round, the No. 16 seed, their strength is much weaker than ours."

"One-on-one with a guy who can't even win me. What right do you have to mock others here? Don't be complacent because of a victory. What awaits us is a long and thorny road!" Su Mu taught a few words verbally. This kind of guy who can't recognize reality.

Just like those who like to say on the Internet, the joke that he scored 81 points with Kobe is simply too stupid!

"Su, how many people in the entire NCAA can beat you in the paint? Do you think that every team has a decent center who can cause pressure on you? I can tell you responsibly that there is none. !"

Faced with Su Mu's poisonous tongue, Embiid didn't take it seriously. He was ridiculed too many times in training. With this little output, he couldn't shake his stable state of mind now.

This also smoothed Embiid's youthful edges and corners, at least after being beaten violently on the court, he no longer cried bitterly like a child.

In the NBA in the future, when Embiid faced the ridicule of many players, his most retorted sentence was: "Just this little output? Your energy is not even one-tenth of Su Mu's!"

The second half of the game was uneventful, and Self tentatively dispatched all the main players to measure the opponent's determination to turn defeat into victory.

Southern Kentucky University seemed frightened and surrendered within a few minutes of fighting.

It is completely meaningless for Self not to choose to kill the main force while ensuring promotion.

Replacing Su Mu and others early is to ensure the physical reserves of the players, and to avoid injury to the players. In the case of a big lead, all the main players will be dispatched, which will inevitably make the opponent feel unhappy.

For the Kansas Jayhawks, the opponents in the first round are just simple training, and even their opponents in the second round are negligible. The real game may not be until the third round, or even later.

There are 16 teams, and there are 8 games in the first round. Every two games, four teams are divided into the same field.

In other words, the University of Kansas and the University of Southern Kentucky are in the same arena as the seventh seed New Mexico Robles from the Western Mountain Conference and the tenth seed Stanford Cardinals from the Pac-[-] Conference.

After the game between the Jayhawks and Southern Kentucky University, there will be a strong dialogue between New Mexico Robles and the Stanford Cardinals. The two teams will start a new round of confrontation at the Scott Center.

What the Kansas Jayhawks need to do is to wait for the result of the game. The winning side will become the next round opponent of the Kansas Jayhawks.

When the final whistle sounded, everyone at Southern Kentucky University breathed a sigh of relief. The four and 10-minute game that tortured them was finally over!

The Kansas Jayhawks finally defeated their opponents 85:50. Even though all substitutes played in the second half, they still led their opponents by 35 points. The huge point difference revealed the huge gap in hard power between the two teams.

苏沐全场狂揽18分15篮板3助攻3抢断10盖帽的夸张数据，另类三双让所有球探眼前一亮，内心感到无比震撼。

NCAA "March Madness" is not just as simple as a game.

This is a carnival, but also a selection!

Each NBA team will send scouts to their favorite team to observe the performance of the players in the team, so as to rate and score, and make a more suitable selection for the rookie selection in May.

If the physical test data will bring people a more intuitive visual impact and help NBA teams select the next part of players, then the real arena is an alternative test.

At this time, what scouts value is not your static talent, but how you use it in actual combat when you have a static talent.

Mental quality, mental outlook, and a series of handling when dealing with difficulties will all become one of the criteria for scouts to judge.

Of course, they are all young kids, and the scouts' tests in this area tend to be more lenient.

The University of Kansas, which has many potential NBA rookies, is naturally the target of many NBA teams.

Those teams holding lottery picks hope to determine their favorite players before the draft.

Sending away the Big Three, clearing out veterans, and aiming to rebuild, the Celtics, who have been underwhelming for a whole season, naturally received a scouting report about Su Mu.

"Excellent inside defender with plenty of stamina. As a fifth position, he moves faster. His static talent is exceptional. His ability to assist defense is outstanding, and his defensive coverage is huge!"

"The offensive method is single, relying more on physical talent to get rid of opponents in the paint and gain shooting space, the shooting posture standard has strong development potential, the fast break transition is good enough, can keenly smell offensive opportunities, and is easy to be caught on the offensive end. double-teamed and became targeted."

The extremely pertinent evaluation judged that the new coach of the Celtics, Stevens, known as the coach, naturally hoped to win Su Mu in the draft.

However, their ranking is not at the bottom, and the hope of getting the top three picks is extremely slim. However, Su Mu's performance is obvious to all, coupled with Yao Ming's personal endorsement, many teams have expressed interest in him.

"Damn it, if Su Mu can be selected, the next ten years may be an era for the Celtics to create another glory."

Stevens is very accurate. He thinks that Su Mu can bring different changes to the team, but the final decision is not up to him, the new head coach. Above him, the cold-blooded Angie controls the team. everything.

Su Mu didn't know anything about these off-court turmoil. Right now, he was sweating profusely with his teammates in the training room of the hotel where he was doing physical training.

The 18-year-old Su Mu is far from reaching the peak in terms of physical function. Reasonable and extensive training can help Su Mu reach the top as soon as possible.

"Today's opponent is too weak, and the consumption is not even as much as the usual training." Embiid held up the dumbbell, obviously very dissatisfied with today's opponent.

"Don't worry, your opponent the day after tomorrow will definitely exhaust you!"

Watching the NCAA game being broadcast live on TV, Su Mu couldn't imagine why Stanford University, which has so many outstanding players, was named the No. [-] seed in the southern region.

Compared with the seventh-seeded New Mexico State, Stanford obviously has stronger court strength and forward athleticism. Stanford can even absolutely crush New Mexico State.

The grading of the NCAA crew sometimes does not seem so pure.

"Su, who do you think will win?" asked Wiggins, who was stretching his back.

"Um~~~~"

Young man, I am not good at answering your question. After all, it is only the NCAA round of 64. As a Chinese, Su Mu rarely pays attention to this kind of competition. When it comes to NBA games, Su Mu can at least have an impression. but this game
However, Su Mu happened to have some impressions of Stanford University's five starters.

As for the state of New Mexico, Su Mu didn't know any of these rotten fish and rotten shrimps.

"Stanford University, their strength should not be only at the level of the tenth seed."

"Let's put it down. I think it's very reasonable for Stanford University to be named the tenth seed. New Mexico State is obviously better than them." Embiid likes to buy back with Su Mu.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's start. I bet on Stanford University, and you bet on New Mexico State. Those who lose must treat their feet and wash their feet. How about it? Do you dare to accept it?"

"And the game that Embiid dare not take? Done it!"

10 minutes later, there were hog-killing screams in the training room.

"Damn, New Mexico, I, Joel Embiid, are no match for you!"

Looking at Embiid who was furious, Su Mu smiled slightly.

The University of Kansas' next round opponent is officially established, defeating Stanford University in New Mexico by five points!

With the last game of Milwaukee (Wisconsin State), after Wisconsin State defeated the Americans 75:35, the NCAA playoffs, the first round matchup of "March Madness", all came to an end!

After 32 minutes of fighting, 40 teams stood out from the encirclement and won a place in the top 32 with absolute strength!
However, people did not set their targets on the top 32 teams. Those strong teams that were out of the game unexpectedly became a topic that the news media talked about.

No division was spared. In the four divisions of East, South, West, and Midwest, weak teams were upset, and the next game was over.

Among them, the No. 12 seed Cincinnati Bearcats in the East lost to No. 12 seed Harvard University, the No. 12 seed VCU in the South lost to No. [-] seed Stephen Austin, and the fifth seed in the West lost to Oklahoma. NO.[-] seed North Dakota.

The terrifying law of No. [-], except for the No. [-] seed in the Midwest region who did not have an upset, the No. [-] seeds in other regions were all upset and eliminated.

Of course, this is not what the media reporters are most concerned about. The No. 14 seed in the Midwest, the Duke Blue Devils, who are traditionally strong and have many good players, lost to the No. [-] seed in the first round. Their hard power is far inferior to their Mercer University.

The sudden upset stunned everyone!

With Jabari Parker, Hood, Quinn Cook and many other excellent players, the Blue Devils led by the old coach K will be eliminated in the first round, which is really eye-popping!

"Isn't it possible, that cocky talker, once the strongest high school student, can't even beat the No. 13 seed?" Embiid was extremely surprised when he saw the media report.

The University of Kansas, which has played against Duke, is very aware of their strength. Even if some players perform poorly, they will not be defeated in the first round. However, it is established based on many factors, as well as the results of the regular season and the championship.

"Have you watched the video? Mercer University doesn't have any outstanding players, but just like that, they eliminated the Duke Blue Devils.",

Wiggins found video of the game from nowhere.

Su Mu observed carefully, but found nothing worth noting.

But from the beginning to the end, the bones of the players of the Duke Blue Devils were full of contempt. Mercer University seized the opportunity and firmly controlled the initiative in its own hands in one fell swoop.

Do not underestimate the enemy!

When everyone watched the video, they all understood the most cruel truth.

NCAA "March Madness" will be the cruelest matchup!
