Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Entering January, the regular seasons of the NCAA divisions have started one after another.

The Syracuse Oranges lead the Big East, along with the Cincinnati Bearcats, the Connecticut Huskies, the DePaul Witchers, the Georgetown Maw, the Louisville Cardinals, Marquette Golden Eagles, Notre Dame Militant Irish, Pittsburgh Panthers, Providence College Friars, Rutgers Cavaliers, St. John's Red Storm, Seton Hall Buccaneers, Fifteen teams, including the University of South Florida Bulls, Villanova University Wildcats, and West Virginia University Mountaineers, will go through two rounds of competition to decide the championship.

The team that wins the Big East Championship will qualify for the NCAA Powerhouse Tournament.

In fact, the league game, such as the Big East League, is divided into two stages. The first stage is the regular season, and 16 teams adopt the home and away system.

For example, Syracuse University, they will play two games each in the regular season and the other fifteen teams in the Big East, one home game and one away game. Finally, the top eight teams will enter the second place. stage, the league playoffs.

The playoffs adopt a single-elimination system, and the champion is determined in the shortest time, and the champion team automatically advances to the ncaa championship (that is, the ncaa top 64).

This process will last from January to March, a two-month period.

Don't look at it for two months, but because the number of teams in each league varies, for example, the Big East has 16 teams, while the Ivy League has only 8 teams.

So for some leagues, the time to end the league game in two months is actually very tight, and on average, a game is played every one to two days.

It is worth mentioning that the Ivy League is the league with the highest academic achievement, but also the most alternative league, they almost never give out scholarships to players, and the reason is very good - we are the best university in the world, to get Scholarships, then rely on grades to get academic scholarships.

Jeremy Lin, who is now in his junior year, is a player who led Harvard University in the Ivy League.

At the same time, the Ivy League is also the only league among the 32 ncaa leagues that does not have a playoff. The team with the first record in the regular season directly wins the Ivy League championship, which is very easy.

It's like telling people that we are the Ivy League, mainly for academic education, just play basketball or something, don't take it too seriously.

And as a matter of fact, Ivy League teams have never had a good record in the ncaa.

Of course, the deeper reason is that the Ivy League has produced too many awesome alumni.

For example, the University of Pennsylvania in the Ivy League eight schools, the school's alumni include "stock god" Warren Buffett, Tesla Motors founder Elon Musk, Cisco Systems founder Leonard Possa gram, Eugene DuPont, the first president of DuPont, Drew Gilpin Foster, the first female president of Harvard University, and Donald Trump (yes, that Trump).... ..

These people can be said to be the richest. The University of Pennsylvania is very rich just by accepting donations from these alumni. How can they care about ncaa's sports dividends?

Other Ivy League universities are probably in the same situation, in short, we are very good, we don't care, you can play.

......

Syracuse University, basketball arena.

On this day, Syracuse University ushered in the first opponent of the regular season at home - the University of Cincinnati Bearcats (atiBearcats).

This team is not weak, but not very strong either. It was the No. 9 seed in the Big East last season, and Syracuse University was the No. 5 seed in the Big East last season.

The regular season is different from the preseason. Each team will take every game seriously and strive to enter the playoffs with a better record. Fortunately, the playoffs will get a more favorable matchup.

Therefore, there were more fans in the auditorium. More than 2,000 people came to the stadium of Syracuse University. Most of them were Syracuse University students and some members of society.

Qin Hao even saw two people in the auditorium holding a small flag painted with the University of Cincinnati Bearcats team logo and waving it vigorously, obviously University of Cincinnati fans. I don't know why they came all the way from Cincinnati to cheer for the University of Cincinnati.

"boom!"

Qin Hao retracted his gaze, flicked his wrist, and shot a three-pointer, but he failed to hit, and the basketball bounced high, surprising people.

Butler picked up the basketball and passed it to Qin Hao. Qin Hao adjusted it and shot again, but he still didn't score, which made Butler surprised: "Qin, this is not your level."

Qin Hao shook his head helplessly and shook his right hand: "Who hasn't had a bad hand yet? Jimmy, I'm going to score 6 threes today. If I don't feel good, the six threes will fall on you. ."

Just as Butler was about to nod his head, he did some calculations in his head, feeling wrong, and shook his head hurriedly: "No, then how many do I have to get in? What nonsense."

Another wonderful oriental vocabulary.

However, Qin Hao would never admit that he taught it by himself, and there is no such thing.

After a warm-up, the two sides returned to the sidelines.

The players of the University of Cincinnati had serious expressions, and they surrounded Coach Friar. Coach Friar also had a very solemn expression. He had studied the preseason game data of Syracuse University. He was startled.

In six preseason games, Syracuse University was 5-1. The only loss was a loss to the University of Tennessee, but they won back on the road two days later.

The other games were relatively easy to win, winning by about ten points on average.

Not to mention the next few opponents, the strength of the University of Tennessee is very strong, even if this is a preseason game, it is a warm-up, and it may be a victory over the University of Tennessee, or it is on the road, which is enough to explain the problem.

Looking at the player statistics, Holbert is very good, averaging 16.5 points per game, which is normal as the captain of Syracuse University.

What is abnormal is that it is not him who scores more, but Qin Hao and Butler, one averaging 19.4 points per game, the other averaging 18.5 points per game, two unfamiliar names, who only joined Syracuse University this season, and have never been in the school. It has appeared in the ncaa first-level league game.

What does this mean?

This shows that Syracuse University hit the big luck and found two excellent players, players stronger than Holbert. With such two players joining, how strong will Syracuse University be today?

(By the way, the last chapter of the previous chapter was wrong, it was six games, five consecutive wins, 5 wins and 1 loss! By the way, in addition to Carmelo Anthony, Syracuse also has awesome alumni, Joe Bye Den, yes, the new Biden on stage!)
