Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

In the United States, the most popular basketball game is not the NBA, but the National College Basketball Association, or the NCAA for short. Although in the world, the NBA has greater influence and a wider audience, here, the NCAA is

Many old beauties feel good about it.

A survey was conducted in the United States this year. Assuming that the NCAA decisive battle and the NBA Finals Game 7 were held at the same time, 87% of the respondents chose to watch the former.

And if you are studying in the United States, if you want to quickly get closer to your classmates, you must learn about the topic of ncaa.

Zuo Li is no stranger to the NCAA. On the contrary, Zuo Li was already very familiar with it in his previous life. After all, he once served as an assistant coach in high school, and the main task of a high school coach is to teach players who can adapt to the NCAA.

Zuo Li was once very surprised as to why the NBA, which was extremely popular in China and had a significantly higher level, was not as popular as the NCAA in the United States. Only when he came here did Zuo Li understand the reason.

It’s nothing more than two points. The first is the unique competition system of the NCAA, and the second is of course pure love.

Pure love is easy to understand. After all, compared with the NBA, which is full of commercial elements, NCAA players have no salary income. In the NCAA, every player will fight for their dreams, for their teammates who fight side by side, and for their school.

war.

The most critical thing is naturally the unique competition system of the NCAA. Bob found Zuo Li specifically a few days ago and talked with Zuo Li a lot about their schedule for this season. After all, whether it is rules or schedules, the NCAA is different from others.

All alliances are different.

The NCAA schedule starts in November every year, usually ending the regular season before March, and then there is a March Madness. The regular season is similar to high school, with home and away double games, the top eight are determined and then single games are eliminated until the championship is determined.

.

The champions of each first-level league directly enter the top 64, and the remaining leagues are invited by the NCAA committee to form and expand invitations.

Then, the NCAA tournament officially begins.

The cruel competition system, where one battle determines life or death, means that in the confrontation between the two armies, neither side has any way out. Either win or go home. It is so exciting. This is also the true meaning of "March Madness".

After several months of fighting to enter the top 64, and then go home after one game, it is exciting to think about it. Moreover, this is also in line with American aesthetics. They like this kind of drama of underdog defeating the rich, and this kind of thing is in

It happens very often in the NCAA.

This is the biggest reason why the NCAA is popular. It should be said or not, it is really exciting!

Oh, speaking of leagues, in the NCAA, more than a thousand four-year universities in the United States and Canada are divided into three levels and dozens of leagues.

Among them, the Big East Conference, the Pac-12 Conference, the Big Ten Conference, the Big 12 Conference, the Atlantic Coast Conference and the Southeastern Conference are the top six divisional leagues in the first level. Their league champions have priority to participate in the cup season.

The right to compete.

Davidson College is in the Southern Conference of the Midwest Division. There are few good teams in the league. Compared with the University of Wisconsin, the University of Oregon, and the University of Maryland, which are also in the Midwest Division, the teams in the Southern Conference are basically the same.

The third-rate players in the NCAA have no other way to enter the top 64 except winning the league championship.

Therefore, if Davidson College wants to advance to the NCAA championship, their goal for this season has been determined, which is to first win the Southern Conference championship, which they have not won for decades.

This is also the reason why the outside world is not optimistic about Zuo Li joining Davidson. If you want to break out from here, it will be more difficult than going to a famous school.

And the attention is different. Playing at a good school will naturally get more attention. After all, during March Madness, 99% of the schools in the Southern Conference have already gone home to prepare for the next season.

This is why Curry played well last season, but still didn't get much attention.

However, the deal was already done, Zuo Li still chose this place.

Because he believes that records are all broken by others. If he remembers correctly, Curry led Davidson like this to the quarterfinals historically. Although he regrettably stopped in the end, this achievement is enough to illustrate his success.

If he is strong, otherwise Curry, who has always been undervalued, would not be selected with a high pick.

And now, the addition of Zuo Li has made this team stronger. Zuo Li naturally has reason to believe that he will give everyone a big surprise.

Of course, now is not the time for spoilers.

Time came to November 7th, and Davidson University finally ushered in their first game of the season. Their opponent was the famous Stanford University, but in the NCAA, this name corresponds to fish belly, and there is no future prospect on the team.

nba player.

But this did not affect the fact that dozens of reporters poured into Davidson's small arena. It was obviously evening, but the lights on the sidelines were brighter than during the day, and they directly suppressed Davidson and his gang with long shots and short guns.

"By the way, the NCAA is so popular, and the Southern League has such a large attendance." Zuo Li was a little confused when he just entered the stadium. The number of reporters was a bit exaggerated, and not only were the seats on the sidelines full, but even the seats on the sidelines were full.

There is no place to stand. Is this the NCAA?

As soon as he said this, Curry was speechless. Think about it, when he first came here last season, the stadium was only just full for every game, and the number of reporters on the sidelines could not exceed two people. Basically, a small notebook was enough for each person.

Okay, what else is needed? There were no interviews after the game. It was all routine. Look at it now...

"Zuo Li, they are all here to see you." Curry patted Zuo Li's shoulder painfully. Fortunately, he and Zuo Li have been teammates for three years, and they have long been accustomed to such blows, otherwise.

Curry turned around and looked at his teammates who were still looking at Zuo Li in confusion. Like them, he was completely dumbfounded.

"After reading it, if necessary, just go to Stanford." Zuo Li scratched his head, not understanding the reporters' brain circuits.

No matter what, let’s go on the field and fight first!

Zuo Li was gearing up a bit. He also wanted to know how much better these people in the university were than in the high school!

But after the game, Zuo Li was disappointed. Stanford was really too weak. The only 2-meter-long person in the team moved extremely slowly. Zuo Li didn't need to use the new shot he had just practiced for three months in the whole game.

, it is enough to make a strong breakthrough, attack hard, catch the ball, turn around and dunk the ball into the basket.

The Stanford players ran away immediately after the game. When they first saw this formation, they still had the heart to perform well, but when they started fighting, they realized that they were being completely abused.

The score was 90 to 45, which was double the score. This is not a glorious thing to say.

Zuo Li played 30 minutes in the first game of NCAA, with the first and second halves being 15 minutes each. Due to the special rules of the NCAA, the game was only divided into two halves, 20 minutes each. The offensive round lasted 35 seconds, which also greatly reduced the scoring efficiency.

But it still didn't stop Zuo Li from scoring 30 points, 15 rebounds and 7 blocks. He also became the first player in Davidson history to score 3015 points in the first game.

Curry maintained his strength from last season, scoring 26 points and 10 assists. The tacit cooperation between the two made the game lose suspense early on.

After the game, facing the crowd on the sidelines, Zuo Li also said a famous saying that will be widely circulated in the future: "This game is very easy, thank you everyone for supporting me, but what are you expecting? You don't think I will

Lose?"
