I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 44 Sir, times have changed!
With the end of the ACC league competition, the new round of NCAA admissions season officially begins.

The Wake Forest University Devil Deacon team started a blanket search for talented players from Winston-Salem, but they only found out Josh Howard and Chris Paul. The luck here is declining, high school talents are not available, and the progress of recruiting players is stagnant. not before.

Can only expand the field of vision to other places?

It's a pity that Wake Forest University is not a famous basketball school, and has relatively strict academic requirements. It is said that Duncan occasionally chats with people and can pop up a sentence or two of calculus problems.

And those gifted high schools, most of them aim at professional basketball, feel that studying cultural courses is a waste of time and talent, and they are relatively high-spirited, looking forward to competing in the NCAA for a prestigious university.

You said that famous universities don't like it?
Don't worry, try another one, what if a famous university goes blind?
So even if they win the ACC Championship, the Devil's Deacon team is really not very competitive when it comes to recruiting new players.

Every year, you can only wait, waiting for the famous universities to pick up the leftovers, which is the best time to pick up the leaks.

Compared with the passiveness of Wake Forest University, the University of North Carolina has already received a commitment from Tyler Hansbrough.

After being rejected by Taylor Hansbrough, Duke University quickly finalized the joining of another talented high school student, Josh McRoberts, to compete with the University of North Carolina, which was tit-for-tat.

In particular, the NBA has stipulated that starting in 2006, rookies participating in the draft must be at least 19 years old. Just like in 2004, in 2005, a large number of talented high school students decided to skip college and bring their talents to the NBA. Exacerbated the difficulty of recruiting talented players.

When the recruiting season is in full swing, the NCAA major league tournaments are also coming to an end one after another, and finally the 32 championship teams that have been directly qualified for the competition have been settled.

For the selection of the remaining 36 wild card teams, the selection committee used a nationwide live broadcast of the entire process of screening and voting. The result is not just, but the process is the key, showing the democracy and freedom of the beautiful country.

At the same time, the rankings of the seeded teams and the respective divisions of the 64 teams were also announced using the match table.

Since 2004, the names of the four major regions have been changed from the previous regional names (East, West, South, Central and West) to the place where the top 16 finals will be held.

The annual "March Madness" kicked off on March 3.

In 2005, it was divided into four regions: Chicago, Abbaqueques, Syracuse, and Austin. After the final four are determined, it will be held on April 4 in St. Louis, the final venue.

Wake Forest University's Devil Deacon team is divided into the Abba Quake District and is the No. 7 seeded team in the tournament.

In the group of Abba Quake District, Wake Forest University is only the second seed. It is divided into the bottom half. It will play against the University of Tennessee in the first round. If it advances, it will play against the winners of the University of Florida and Texas Tech University.

In the first half, the University of Washington, which ranks most controversially in this area, is the top seed. If they advance to the next round, they will face the winners of the University of the Pacific and the University of Pittsburgh in the second round. Both teams are strong.

Especially in the upper half, Georgia Tech, the traditional strong team that reached the semi-finals last year, and Louisiana State University, O'Neal's alma mater...

To be reasonable, Wake Forest University has Chris Paul, Buddha University has 5 tigers, Texas Tech has the No.1 coach Bob Knight, Washington University has the Three Musketeers led by Roy, Georgia Tech has Jack, Lu Big State has big baby Davis...good guy, it's almost going to be a tough fight except for the first round.

Especially the late-seeded teams in this area are very difficult to mess with, and it can be called the area where dark horses are most likely to jump out.

In the Chicago area, there is the first-seeded University of Illinois, Deron Williams' team, with a record of 32 wins and 1 loss this season.

Boston College, the University of Alabama, and the other two strong teams in the lower half are Oklahoma State University and the University of Arizona. It is difficult to pose a threat to the University of Illinois. The strength of the team is relatively obvious.

This is the benefit of the top-seeded team, which usually has a big gift package and is difficult to explode.

The Austin area is a death zone where strong teams gather, and it will lose a layer of skin to stand out in this area.

Not to mention Duke University, there is also Syracuse University, which Anthony led to win the championship in 03, and Michigan State University, the 2000 champion, is also in this district.

The University of Oklahoma and the University of Utah led by Bogut had a fierce battle in the second round.

Behind, there are the famous University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville...

In Syracuse, the University of North Carolina is in the upper half, and the schedule is relatively easy. Only Wade's alma mater, Marquette University, is a slightly stronger opponent.

The lower half is a small death zone, with the University of Kansas and the defending team University of Connecticut sitting in the foreground. The opponents are the University of Wisconsin, the University of Charlotte, and North Carolina State University. Their strengths are unfathomable...

……

Washington State, Olympic Stadium.

On March 3th, the Wake Forest University Devil Deacon team VS Tennessee University Volunteers game began.

The volunteer team, just hearing the name, feels indecent, like studying with the prince.

In fact, for this team, winning the NCAA championship is like picking up grass, and in the next few years, there will be a phenomenal superstar Candace Parker who dominates the NCAA.

Candace Parker?Have not heard?
Have you heard of the female version of James?
What the hell you say yes to women's basketball!
Well, anyway, the University of Tennessee is very powerful, you don't care if it's a man or a woman.

Of course, the men's basketball team is also a strong team that cannot be ignored. It is difficult for them to win the championship...but they are best at making upsets.

The game was the same, with Wake Forest trailing the Tennessee team by 3 points in the last 2 minutes of the game.

If it hadn't been for Su Bei to resist the pressure and make a fast-break three-pointer after Chris Paul made a steal, Wake Forest University might have gone home to fish.

It would be crazy if Wake Forest lost.

Under the guidance of the head coach of the University of Tennessee, Bruce Pearl, this volunteer team lineup is quite mediocre, but the team plays very well.

Their defense did a very good job, blocking the penalty area, limiting Chris Paul's offensive system, cutting off Su Bei's reception, and being good at using fouls to interrupt the offensive rhythm.

Then, on offense, they used their best shooting tactics to deal with Wake Forest University.

Their mid-range shooting efficiency is very high, especially when they suppress the attack time to the last 30 seconds, and then make a magical shot, which is very murderous.

There are not many NBA stars at the University of Tennessee, but the reputation of shooting is very loud.

Alan Houston, who was given the title of "CIC King", came from here. Can the reputation of shooting not be renown?

Good guy, it was named directly after CIC.

Fortunately, Wake Forest University has an advantage in hard power, at least Chris Paul is impossible to defend.

The head star of the University of Tennessee is CJ Watson. He is 1 meters tall and a junior star. He averaged 88 points, 15 assists and 4 rebounds per game. Not surprisingly, he joined the Supersonics as an undrafted player in 3...

In front of Chris Paul, CJ Watson performed superbly in this game. It was his extraordinary performance, his breakthrough was extremely sharp, and his shots were dangerous and accurate. In addition, this team is very good at playing downwind and taking advantage of the lead , firmly controlled the rhythm of the game, and unexpectedly led the University of Tennessee to lead the score to the last 3 minutes.

However, CJ Watson's convulsion attribute and stamina could not last until the end of the game.

His offensive efficiency has dropped a lot since the second half.

Shooting has become unstable, and weaknesses in passing ability are starting to show.

Playing a point guard is not what he wants, because he has the body of a 1-meter point guard and the soul of a shooting guard.

The head coach Bruce Pearl is also a talent, and he directly copied the 76 team Iverson's "four guarantees and one" tactic.

The outcome of the game depends entirely on CJ Watson.

"At the critical moment, CJ Watson's three-pointer didn't kill the game. However, they can walk out of the arena with their heads held high, because they almost sent Wake Forest home and gave Chris Paul a sap... ..."

With a score of 76 to 72, Wake Forest University had a dangerous pass, narrowly beating the University of Tennessee by 4 points, and successfully advanced to the top 32.

CJ Watson scored 23 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds. His performance was amazing. The team lost, but he didn't lose.

Chris Paul had 19 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals. His performance was a little unstable, but at the critical moment, he grasped it and used his all-around performance to create opportunities for the team to reverse.

Su Bei scored 15 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 extrapolation, 2 blocks, and made 8 of 4 three-pointers. His efficiency was [-]-[-].

In the round of 64, Wake Forest University played more difficultly.

Another group of opponents, the game between the University of Florida Gators and the Texas Tech Red Fleet, also played very anxiously. In the last 5 minutes of the game, there was no winner.

Texas Tech's lineup is mediocre, but Bob Knight's coaching ability is quite sophisticated, the team plays very well, and the players' execution ability on the court is very good.

I have to say that in the college basketball team, Bob Knight's coaching ability is still very impressive.

It can be said that his name is synonymous with greatness and victory. He is the first NCAA Basketball Champions League coach to win 900 games. What old Coach K, Roy Williams... are left behind After his death, he was called the first coach of the NCAA.

However, the head coach of the Florida Gators, Billy Donovan, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. His coaching ability is obviously not as good as that of Coach Knight, but he has performed a show... called adults, times have changed.

At this time, in the Gator lineup, Al Horford and David Lee are on the inside, and Corey Brewer, Tao Linglin and Lee Humphrey are on the outside.

In the 4th minute of the game, the score was 70-71, the Gators trailed by 1 point, and Billy Donovan replaced Lee Humphrey with substitute Joakim Noah.

Using a luxurious lineup of small and big four, he blocked the penalty area abruptly on defense, and then on offense, he used the style of grabbing the basket and attacking the basket to overwhelm Texas Tech's inside line.

David Lee, Al Horford, Corey Brewer and Joakim Noah... four first-round talents, the strength of the game is completely unbalanced.

With a score of 81 to 75, the University of Florida defeated Texas Tech to advance to the top 32 and become Wake Forest University's next opponent.
