Chapter 95： Defending champion

At the same time that Kangda won the Western District Championship, several other regional championships have also been released. Butler University continued its dark horse last year and became the Southeastern Championship. Kentucky and Duke also lived up to expectations and defeated their opponents to become the Eastern Conference and Champion of the Southwest.

In this way, the final four finals of the championship have been determined, namely UConn, Duke, Kentucky and Butler.

随着 With the semi-final match against the champion, Butler University will compete with Kentucky, while UConn will play against defending champion Duke University.

战 Fight Arizona first, then North Carolina, and now Duke again. If it wasn't for the University of Texas who accidentally killed Kansas, this year's experience at UConn is really a hell-no-hell mode.

But from another perspective, this is also a lucky for Kangda.

The NCAA championships are held every year, but there are not many impressive ones. If UConn can finally win the championship in this **** mode, it will definitely be remembered by history and become a topic that fans talk about after dinner.

As the defending champion of Duke University, this year is not only the No. 1 seed in the Southwest, but also the No. 1 seed in the entire NCAA Championships. It sits with Irving, the last tournament MOP (the final four most outstanding players) Kyle Singler, Nolan Smith, Miles Prumley, Mason Prumley, Ryan Kelly, Seth Curry and many other NBA talents.

It is no exaggeration to say that even the Curry of the bench seat can become the absolute core when it reaches the general school.

This is a roaring lineup, but who is called Duke!

And Duke, there is a man named Mike Shashevsky!

The famous K coach!

最大 The biggest difference between the NCAA and the NBA is the rights of the head coach. Because there is no management, the head coach is basically one-handed.

Your future, your basketball life is basically determined by the head coach.

A good coach can take players to a bigger stage, provide them more exposure opportunities, and then get a better future and life.

This is a complementary relationship.

The reason why Duke can sit with so many top players is because they have Coach K, a legendary coach who can be as famous as Dean Smith!

So the first few high school students in the United States squeezed their heads into the door of Duke.

Come to the final four stages, the attention of the championship is rising rapidly, and the playing field is further upgraded.

The Final Four include two semifinals and one final, with a total of three games.

地点 The venue of these three games has already been decided, at the Rayland Stadium in Houston.

As the nation's first professional football stadium with an openable roof, this old stadium is well-known. Its roof is made of highly transparent fiberglass material, which makes it feel like a full open even when closed.

Of course, this stadium has a considerable number of seats, which can accommodate 72,000 people at the same time watching the game, which fully meets the requirements of the NCAA Final Four.

There are more than 70,000 people watching a basketball game at the same time. Such a scene is really unique in the world, which is the charm of NCAA.

Even in the finals, even the NBA will choose to suspend the game to make way for it.

The day before the game, the top four teams arrived in Houston one after another.

Tang Tian is very familiar with the city of Houston. The Chinese giant Yao Ming has spent his entire career here. He has also lived in this city as a coach in his previous life.

The game between Hong Kong University and Duke will take the lead. Kahong did not arrange daily training on this day in order to relax the players.

"Are you nervous? Oppose Singler." Walker asked while playing 2K with Tang Tian in the hotel.

Kyle Singler is a legend in the NCAA. He scored 13.3 points and 5.9 rebounds in his freshman season. He became the best rookie of the Atlantic Coast League. He was elected as MOP last season as a junior. China's only 19 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks helped Duke win the championship.

"Not nervous, have you ever seen me nervous?" Tang Tian said with a smile, a single Single, aside from his past life experience, in the past few games of the championship, he even connected with Derrick Williams You can get it with Barnes, and you're afraid of a single Single?

"You don't need to be nervous. Irving has just recovered from the injury. It doesn't take long for him to come back. He can't beat you." Tang Tian knows Walker well, knowing that he is worried about his game, and then he said.

"Um." Walker didn't explain anything this time, just nodded.

It's a good thing to be ridiculous, but over-confidence is conceit, and Walker is obviously not the kind of conceit.

I want to say that the only defender in this session that can make Walker worry, or at least make him agree, is only Irving.

多 How good is Irving's talent?

As a rookie, Irving basically didn't play much because of a toe injury. In 11 games, he averaged 17.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists. He shot 59% from two points and 45% from three.

伤 An injured rookie can cut down this kind of data, or is the FireWire comeback team to kill the final four ~ www.novelhall.com ~ and become the champion of the champion, these are already very clear.

Kang Kang University did not arrange training, Duke University arranged it.

Coach K conducted a basic training in the training hall. The training mainly focused on warming up and shooting. The purpose was to help the players find the state before the game.

Duke is the hottest winner of this year's championship. Their training has also attracted a media visit, which even includes ESPN, TNT and other media giants.

It is worth mentioning that the Final Four will be broadcast live across the United States, when TNT's ace commentary Charles Buckley, Kenny Smith, ESPN's top brands Mike Brin and Reggie Miller will come to the scene to explain.

Irving has been talking with Coach K. The reporters did not have the opportunity to interview him, but they still caught Kyle Singler.

Single's fame in the NCAA is much greater than that of Irving, and their wave is completely uncompromising.

凯 "Kyle, the University of Connecticut defeated North Carolina this year and is strong. What do you think of this opponent?"

"This is a sad thing." Singler's answer was somewhat unexpected.

"Playing against North Carolina is something that every Duke player wants to do. When the division came out, I was a bit excited. You know this is the last year of my college. I hope to complete the last thing I want to do as a Duke. Thing, but it didn't come in the end. "Singler said with regret.

What he said is completely fine. He won the NCAA championship and MOP, and defeated North Carolina. It was indeed the only thing he did not complete.

The reporter was obviously stunned for a moment. This is true, but it seems that the answer is not what you asked!

"What do you think of the University of Connecticut, your opponent in the semifinals." He can only ask again.
