Basketball Myth: Super Guard

The high school leagues in the United States are not national leagues, but are based on states. Each state has its own state league, but there is no national league.

This has something to do with the sound campus sports training system in the United States, because the population base of basketball in the United States is too large. In 2007 alone, the number of registered basketball players in the United States exceeded 500,000, and the number of non-registered basketball players is at least more than this. doubled.

The reason why there are not too many national leagues and teams is because of the frequent transfer of schools.

Of course, it is also very important to attract more sponsors, because there are 50 states in the United States, which means that there can be at least 50 sponsors. There are very few domestic high school league sponsors, mainly Nike, which can be directly named "Nike High School Basketball League".

The United States takes the state as a unit, and each state's league can absorb one to several sponsors, or even more sponsors. Some sponsors are still antagonistic, such as Nike and Adidas.

Therefore, it is basically impossible to integrate resources, and it is not in line with interests, so the American high school leagues are all based on states.

Among them, the high school leagues in Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky are the most popular.

The Indiana high school league is also known as the "Crazy Indians."

Because the competition is extremely cruel, other states divide schools according to grades. Like ncaa, there are first-level leagues, second-level leagues, and national leagues, each competing for the state championship.

That is, there is a first-level league championship, a second-level league championship, and a ** league championship.

But Indiana has no grades, and all schools compete for a state championship, so the competition is extremely brutal and extraordinarily crazy!

Of course, because of the large number of people, there are more than one million high school students participating in the league every year in the United States. There are 50 states in total. It can be easily calculated that there are at least thousands of teams (including women's basketball) in one state, so it is not necessary to It may be a big melee, not to mention the round robin, even the single-elimination system will not work.

So even though Indiana doesn't have a tier, it does make some divisions, and there's a league game under the state league.

This is also similar to the ncaa. Some teams are jointly formed (divided) into a league, such as the "Ivy League" and "Big Ten League" of the ncaa.

High school leagues are also divided into leagues. Some teams form a league, or several teams, or a dozen or 20 teams. The league matches are played first, with different competition systems.

The team that wins the league championship advances to the next round, the state league, to compete for the state championship.

Therefore, the league is equivalent to the regular season, and the state league is equivalent to the playoffs. In the league stage, there will also be team strength rankings, and then in the playoffs stage, the match will be decided based on this, or whether to gain entry or not. Eligibility for state leagues.

In fact, looking at this set of systems, whether it is the high school league, the ncaa, or the nba, they all have some commonalities and belong to the same strain.

The league game in Indiana starts in late October, so after entering October, each team has begun to actively prepare for the league game. In addition to the usual training, some warm-up games will also be organized.

St. Joseph's High School also ushered in a warm-up game.

St. Joseph's High School belongs to the South Bend League, and the opponents of the warm-up games are generally not teams from the same league, but teams from other leagues, and even invite teams from other states across the state.

The opponent in the St. Joseph High School warm-up game is Canterbury High School from the Fort Wayne League.

"It's finally here. After waiting for half a year, there is finally another game."

"Yeah, I can't wait."

In the locker room, the players of St. Joseph's High School were gearing up, smug, and full of fighting spirit, but unfortunately they didn't say "My big knife is already hungry and thirsty".

"Don't take it lightly." Kroger put on a team leader attitude and said with a stern face: "Canterbury High School is not weak, although this is only a warm-up game, but still strive to win."

Hearing this, the players laughed.

Isn't that Canterbury High School? It's not that I don't know them. They might have caused us a little trouble in the past, but now that we have Qin, what are we worried about?

Feeling that everyone was looking at him, Qin Hao stopped tying his shoelaces, raised his head and said, "What's the matter, are you all looking at me?"

"Haha, nothing."

"Qin, I'll watch your performance later, and blow up Canterbury High School."

Everyone laughed.

Only Kroger's face was not very good-looking, and he felt that Qin Hao had stolen the limelight.

click!

The door was pushed open, and Frank walked in. He clapped his hands and said, "Guys, it's time for us to play. The fans are waiting for you."

Everyone got up and followed Frank out of the locker room.

There was a huge noise outside. The arena of St. Joseph High School was not very big, and this was just a warm-up game, but there were at least hundreds of people in the audience, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

When Qin Hao and others appeared, they were immediately greeted with cheers from the fans. Everyone was shouting and roaring excitedly. Qin Hao even saw Elliott, and the scholar was also here.

"Qin, come on!"

There were also many girls, who were also shouting Qin Hao's name.

Qin Hao turned his head to look and saw more than 20 girls in his class, as well as a few girls in the next class, shouting loudly. Qin Hao was a little uncomfortable, so he politely waved at them and clicked nod.

Who knew these girls were more excited.

A girl jumped up and shouted, "Qin, be my boyfriend."

Qin Hao was speechless for a while, thinking that fortunately, he didn't say anything like "I support you".

Not far away, the players from Canterbury High School were also looking at the players from St. Joseph High School, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw that there was an oriental face inside.

But then they stopped paying attention. The American high school league is not without oriental faces. There are also many Chinese and overseas Chinese in the United States. However, as far as playing basketball, most of them are not suitable. It seems that there is only one overseas Chinese named Lin from Palo Alto High School. The boy is not bad.

As for the boy in front of me, huh...

After that, the two sides went on the court to warm up. Qin Hao threw a few balls, made a stretch and layup, and simply warmed up. After that, the players from both sides returned to the sidelines.

Frank started to point: "Douglas, Terry, Kroger, Harold, Kelly, wait for you guys to start."

Everyone was stunned, and all looked at Qin Hao.

Why didn't Qin start?

Frank smiled slightly, looked at Qin Hao, and the two understood, Frank said, "Okay, Qin is a new player after all, and this is just a warm-up match."

"Oh."

The crowd suddenly understood.
