I am Really an Insider

Chapter 35 035: The Gambling of Two Springmen

In mid-March, when the Korean media was still in the first round of Waiwai Hesheng Town, slammed Wayne and became a world-class center.

On the NCAA side, the long-awaited March Madness schedule is finally released.

As we all know, 64 teams participated in the NCAA March Madness Tournament.

Except for the champions of the 32 leagues who are directly eligible to participate, the rest are called wild card teams, which are officially selected by the NCAA.

But in fact, there are actually 68 teams participating in the competition every year.

It's just that before the start of the championship, there is still a play-off.

That is to say, the four teams with the lowest wild card seed order and the four lowest seeded teams among the 32 league champions must play against each other first, and the winners can finally enter the top 64.

The Cowboys' first opponent in the March Madness Championship this year is the University of Washington Huskies, which reached the top 64 through playoffs.

That's right, the Huskies again, with the same team name as No. 1 pick Emeka Okafor's University of Connecticut.

In his previous life, Wayne always complained about the names of CBA teams, either Tiger or Leopard, tacky, uncreative and ugly.

Now after experiencing the baptism of the NCAA, Wayne will no longer complain about the name of the CBA team.

Because Laomei's name-naming skills are actually not very good.

As far as the entire NCAA Division I is concerned, Wayne doesn't know how many teams are called the Wildcats, and there are a lot of rhinos and buffaloes.

Even team names like Huskies are repeated.

In order to facilitate the distinction, Wayne gave the University of Washington a team name that is both easy to remember and pleasant to hear-the Huskies.

The English pronunciation of Eskimo Dog, isn't that Husky?

And the team logo of the University of Washington basketball team is really more Huskies than the Timberwolves.

It's a real dog!

Although the team logo of the Timberwolves looks like a husky, in fact, the wolf head is painted quite fiercely, grinning.

As for the team logo of the University of Washington, Nima still sticks out her tongue!

Just by looking at this team logo, you feel that it is enough.

As soon as the match list came out, Sutton studied the game video of the University of Washington overnight.

One of the exciting things about March Madness is that most of the opponents don't know each other.

This is not like the NBA. Before the start of the NBA playoffs, everyone has played against each other many times in the regular season, and it is those teams that go around, so generally speaking, they are quite familiar with each other.

And before March Madness started, you and your opponent had never played against each other this season.

Even, some teams have no record of playing against each other in the entire team history.

Washington University and Ohio State University belong to the latter.

The University of Washington is not a traditional strong team. In team history, it has only played in the semi-finals once, twice in the quarter-finals and twice in the quarter-finals.

In other words, UW was an uncommon figure in the March Madness tournament.

This time they entered the championship through the play-offs, which is the first time in five years.

Therefore, Sutton couldn't be more unfamiliar with this opponent.

Who are their core players? What is their style of play?

These are completely unknown, and you can only prepare temporarily after you get the schedule.

This is also the reason why the NCAA is always unpopular. Facing an unknown opponent, it is still a game to determine the outcome, and there is no chance of trial and error.

If you make a mistake, you lose, and no one really can predict what will happen in the game.

On the second day after the schedule was announced, Sutton, who stayed up late to watch the video, held an urgent tactical meeting.

He must first let his players understand their opponents before they can prescribe the right medicine.

To Wayne's surprise, he actually heard two very familiar names in this strange Huskies team.

"The University of Washington is a team-based team, but they still have their own core, that is, two guards Nate Robinson and Brandon Roy."

Wayne:? ? ?

Let's not talk about "Little Potato" Robinson, what happened to Brandon Roy?

As we all know, Roy only entered the league in 2006, and he only became famous at the end of the first decade of the 21st century.

His appearance heralded a short and brilliant start for the Blazers.

But now, the Blazers are just beginning to rebuild.

So subconsciously, Wayne always felt that it was very strange that Roy's name appeared in early 2004. He didn't seem to be a player of this era.

Moreover, that is Brandon Roy!

He almost has a full-level number as soon as he enters the league. He averaged 16.8 points per game in his rookie season. He is already one of the best shooting guards in the league in his third year.

It is considered that if it is not for injuries, it is very likely to become the next super giant player!

In his previous life, Wayne, as Chairman Yao and a Lakers fan (hei), felt terrified every time the two teams, Mosaic and the Lakers, faced the "yellow mamba" killer in the Rose Garden.

The most classic is a regular season in November 2008, when Mosaic was a guest at the Rose Garden.

In that battle, the two sides were in an anxious stalemate until the end of overtime. At the critical moment, Chairman Yao stepped forward. Against the defense of two people, he completed a turnaround jumper in an almost unreasonable way, hit a quasi-lore and caused a foul.

After the extra penalty, Chairman Yao's three-pointer gave Mosaic a key 1-point lead, leaving only 0.8 seconds for the Blazers.

It can be said that it was a night that belonged to Yao Ming, and Wayne can recall how excited he was at that time until now.

Off the court, the Mosaic players also began to celebrate, and everyone thought that the lore would be one of the highlight moments of Yao Ming's career.

The results of it? The Trail Blazers boy in white wearing No. 7 was two steps away from the three-point line, calmly catching and shooting the ball, and brutally killed the game!

Yao Ming's lore night was abruptly destroyed by Brandon Roy. The highlight moment of Yao Ming's career was also abruptly snatched away by Roy.

Since then, Wayne has been deeply attracted to Roy. Although he is not a Trail Blazers fan, he has a good impression of Roy.

Until many years after retiring due to injury, Roy was often mentioned by people, which shows that Roy's popularity is really no worse than those superstars.

Perhaps, it is the loss and regret of all fans not to be able to see a healthy "Yellow Mamba" writing his wonderful story in the league.

Well, just like Yao Ming.

Wayne shook his head, thinking far away.

In short, Brandon Roy is by no means an ordinary person.

It's so good in the NBA, how awesome is this guy in the NCAA.

After all, a guy like Mr. Tony who can't score after entering the league can score 20 points per game in the NCAA like cutting melons and vegetables.

It stands to reason that a team with Roy shouldn't have to rely on play-offs to enter March Madness.

With curiosity, Wayne continued to listen to Coach Sutton's introduction.

"Nate Robinson is less than 1.8 meters tall, but his athletic ability is very strong. He is a double major in rugby and basketball."

Why does Wayne, who is short, athletic, and has a double major in basketball and rugby, sound more and more like the one in Philadelphia?

In fact, the template given to Nate Robinson by the experts at this time is really Iverson.

Just take a look at the templates of each player before the draft, but don't take it seriously.

Wayne was bored a few days ago, so he borrowed Teddy's computer to check Howard online.

As a result, Wayne found that the template they gave Howard was Duncan + Garnett

Because of his strong athletic ability, and he also hit 8 consecutive three-pointers in a high school game, which is a combination of perfect touch and beast body.

This report is fucking outrageous!

"Pay attention to Nate's breakthrough. You can't imagine his jumping ability. The best way to stop him is not to let him rush up."

"Let's talk about another guard, Brandon. His autonomous attack ability is not as strong as Nate, but he plays smart and is a very good team player. He will seize every defensive gap and create for his teammates and himself. Chance to score."

"Brandon has no particular strengths, but also no obvious weaknesses, so be careful."

"Why is this the opposite of Tucker?" After listening to the old Sutton's introduction to Roy, Wayne curled his lips.

This is not the Roy he imagined.

Tucker is now playing super giant, carrying the ball and wanting to rush in, but in the future he will be a team-type 3D player.

And Roy is playing as a team now, but will he be an All-Star guard in the future?

Nobody.

Looking at Roy's current average data, 11.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists, isn't this just one of the "big black holes in the draft" that can't be a combo guard?

Seeing that Roy's statistics were lower than his own in all aspects, Wayne felt that it was magical.

Since the highest score in a single game in college was comparable to that of Anthony, Wayne stabilized Roy again!

Don't tell me, this feeling of being able to bully them when they haven't grown up is quite enjoyable.

Well, it seems that in this world, besides Duncan who directly reaches the full level, there are really people who practiced from the first level to the full level in college before going to the NBA.

In fact, Roy also experienced social beatings before he honestly became a team player in the NCAA.

As early as when he graduated from high school in 2002, Roy signed up for the draft and had already participated in trial training.

As a result, during the two hours of the trial training, almost anyone who came to participate in the trial training could beat Roy to the ground.

Roy knew at the time that what he was holding was not Kobe's script. After all, Kobe was able to beat Stackhouse at the NBA level in high school.

After that, Roy gave up the draft and chose to come back and study in college honestly.

He no longer thinks highly of himself, and at this time he is also willing to be a team player.

Looking at the profiles of the two guards in front of him, Wayne touched his chin.

One is not tall enough to bounce, and the other is just a role player now

So, isn't it all right for the next game?

The current strength of the University of Washington does not seem to be top-notch.

After the old Sutton finished introducing Robinson and Roy, he wanted to introduce the starting small forward Bobby Jones of the Huskies—a guy with the same name as the famous 76ers star in the 1980s.

But when I think that even P.J. Tucker can't make any big waves in front of the Cowboys. Similar to Tucker's style, Jones, who can only rely on his athletic ability to hit the basket, should not do much.

What's more, Joey Graham, an athlete, took care of him.

But Jones, who is far away at the University of Washington, does not think he is at a disadvantage.

It's finally March Madness, and the fun-loving Bobby Jones and Nate Robinson both want to do something.

So, after the training, they made a bet with Wayne, the most popular defensive player in the Big 12 League recently-in the game against the Cowboys, whoever can dunk on Wayne's head, who Get $500.

For college students, $500 is not a small amount of money to gamble, so Nate and Bobby are gearing up and eager to try.

Both Bobby Jones and Nate are very confident in their own jumping. They are mere power forwards on the floor, so there is nothing to be afraid of, just have a good time!

Roy watched the two big brothers bet with great interest, and wanted to step forward to dissuade them.

But Nate and Bobby didn't take it seriously, and instead asked Roy if he wanted to participate.

Roy, who is not yet a star player, hurriedly waved his hands: "Forget it, we still focus on winning."

"Don't worry, Brandon, we won't lose either victory or dunk." Nate Robinson showed his white teeth and patted Roy on the back.

March Madness, of course we have to do something to make people remember ourselves.

The two spring people are already eager to try.
