Chapter 46 Preparing for the Regular Season

George Mason University.

Inside the basketball court, Leo Cairns put down the phone.

"How?" Jerry Babbitt asked.

Jack Wyatt also stared at Leo Keynes, a little nervous.

Leo Keynes was full of regret, shook his head at Jerry Babbitt and Jack Wyatt, then walked to a tall young man not far away, and said: "Captain, Meng Yungang called, he decided to Stay at Davidson."

This tall young man is named Anthony Mallory. He is a junior this year. He serves as a center. He has excellent physical fitness and a tough style of play. He is the captain of the George Mason Patriots (George Mason Patriots).He glanced at Leo Keynes, picked up the basketball and flicked his wrist, made a mid-range shot, and said calmly: "If he wants to stay in Davidson College, let him stay. What does it matter? We don't lack a freshman like him." Rookie."

Leo Cairns smiled wryly, and Jerry Babbitt murmured, "That's because you didn't see him play." Even Jack Wyatt, who didn't welcome Meng Yun to George Mason, couldn't help shaking his head. It's not that Meng Yun is welcome to George Mason, but he has to admit that Meng Yun is very strong.

But obviously only the three of them know how powerful Meng Yun is. Captain Anthony Mallory, other members of the team, and the coach don't care much about Meng Yun.

How strong can a rookie freshman be, or a Chinese?
This is the general view of the players and coaches of the Patriots. In their view, Meng Yun is not important at all, let alone worth looking forward to. One more may not be much, but it doesn't matter if he is missing.

"Keynes."

The team's starting power forward Steven came over, patted Leo Keynes on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "You still have to pay attention to your own strength, your talent is very good, you have to work hard. As for that Meng Yun, you don't need I care too much, is it possible that with him joining, we can directly win the championship?"

"I don't dare to say it directly, but it is really possible." Leo Keynes said in his heart, but he couldn't say it out. He could only nod in front of the senior's "teaching".

When the captain and Steven walked away, Leo Keynes shook his head helplessly, came to Jerry Babbitt and Jack Wyatt, frowned and said: "Captain, they underestimate Meng Yun too much, Underestimated the Davidson College Wildcats. The regular season is coming up and I'm a little worried"

Hearing what he said, Jerry Babbitt and Jack Wyatt couldn't help frowning. The teammates underestimated the Davidson College Wildcats so much, and they might suffer a loss when they meet in the regular season.

However, the three of them are just freshmen and have limited right to speak.

The ncaa regular season is also called the regular season. Generally speaking, it is a unit of each league, such as the Atlantic 10 Conference where the Davidson College Wildcats are located.

There are a total of 14 teams in the Atlantic Ten League, and the regular season is a home and away game between these 14 teams.

In addition, some leagues will also choose some teams outside their own leagues to play games as a way to exercise themselves and promote the team.

The regular season starts in late November every year. After the regular season is over, the top eight teams will be selected for a single-elimination match according to their record rankings, and the champion will be finally determined.

It's called the "League Championship Game."

The champion determined by the league championship game will generally advance to the NCAA Championships (68 Tournament), so the championship competition is very fierce.

of course there are exceptions.

For example, the Ivy League, they are generally the team with the first record in the regular season to directly advance to the tournament, because they don't have a "conference championship game" at all.

When the regular season is over, the 32 championship teams of the NCAA Division I leagues will advance to the tournament, and the remaining tournament spots will be "invitational."

It can be said that in order to compete for the league championship, they must first enter the top eight in the regular season.

This is not the NBA. There are 82 games in the regular season. This is the NCAA. Take the Atlantic Ten League as an example. There are 14 teams in total, and there are only 26 games in the regular season, so every game is very important.

Now that there are still a few days before the regular season, the Davidson University Wildcats are hurrying to make the final improvement.

"Quick, quicker."

"Didn't you eat? Move, what are you doing there?"

"How many times have I told you, pass the ball, pass the ball. To share the ball more, the ball must move to create opportunities. How is the tactics played?"

In the arena, Danny Clemens yelled at the court, and each player's scalp was numb, and they were running on the court, constantly making self-adjustments, but they still couldn't avoid being scolded.

Mason Carr sat on the sidelines, watching Danny Clemens growl with leisure time, showing a smile. He is not very good at this kind of yelling, but it is necessary. Fortunately, Danny Clemens Leemans was used to this.

As for Phil Frederick and Spike Garcia, Mason Carr has no hope at all.

Since the end of the last warm-up match, although Phil Frederick and Spike Garcia also came to the arena every day, they were basically spectators, not participating in discussions or supervising training. Limans was very upset, but Mason Karl didn't say anything, so he could only endure it.

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, Meng Yunkong made a layup.

Mason Carr nodded secretly. After the last warm-up match, he clearly felt that Meng Yun was more confident about the layup, unlike before, he couldn't get up at every turn.

"Meng Yun's progress is really fast, but there are still many shortcomings." Mason Carr said to himself, looked at his watch, and said to Danny Klemans: "Danny, take another five minutes to rest."

"Okay." Danny Klemans replied.

After a few minutes, the training stopped.

A group of players gasped for breath, and sweat fell like raindrops. Patrick and Clark Thomas supported their knees, rolled their eyes, and looked unloved.

"You two." Danny Klemans was furious, pointing to Patrick and Clark Thomas, "What kind of expression is this? Are you tired?"

"No."

"Absolutely not, not at all tired."

The two quickly straightened their backs, not daring to follow what Danny Clemens said, the team has two elimination places, and they don't want to be those two people.

Danny Klemans nodded, and said gently, "Since you're not tired, you two should run ten more laps to practice your physical fitness. The playground is outside."

"what"

Patrick and Clark-Thomas were shocked and wanted to cry.

Everyone laughed secretly and dispersed to rest.

"Meng Yun." Mason Carr called, patting the stool next to him.

"Coach." Meng Yun sat down.

Mason Carr said: "Meng Yun, you are improving very fast. I have observed it for the past two days, and your body coordination ability has improved a little, and your shooting percentage has also improved. But have you noticed that your shooting has a lot of impact? big problem"
