Bishop of the Devil

Biquge www.xbiquge.tw, the fastest update of Devil Bishop!

In the blink of an eye, it’s January 10th!

This day is the start of the regular seasons within the major leagues!

Like NBA events, the divisional competition is divided into regular season and knockout rounds (playoffs). The knockout matchups are determined based on the rankings in the regular season.

It is said that the NCAA attracts more attention in the United States than the NBA. In fact, this is not true at all!

The first reason is the background. The history of the NCAA is much longer than that of the NBA. For example, the history of the Purdue University team is older than any NBA team!

The second is coverage. The NCAA has nearly a thousand teams. Even in the first-level league, there are about 300 teams, basically covering all large and small cities in the United States. What about the NBA? There are only twenty or thirty teams in more than fifty states in the United States. On average, there is less than one team in each state. Fans are naturally more inclined to watch the games of teams in their own cities.

The third is the cruelty of the schedule. Although the NBA is a professional league, the cruelty of their schedule is far inferior to that of the NCAA's Black March. One game determines victory or defeat, and one game determines life or death!

Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to understand that the NCAA pays more attention than the NBA.

…

The Boilermakers are currently in the limelight, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at this team that is currently undefeated. In order to increase the attention of the regular season opener, the Big Ten Conference Management Committee directly came to a fierce rivalry!

Although it is a famous basketball school, in Indiana, in terms of pure team honors, the Boilermakers are actually not as good as its rival team, the Indiana University Mountaineers. The main reason is that the Mountaineers have won five national championships. , comparable to Jordan's alma mater North Carolina, but Boilermaker only once!

But what makes the Boilermakers proud is that the historical results of these two teams are better than the Boilermakers. They currently have 104 wins and 86 losses, leading the Mountaineers by many wins.

These two teams are very well-known rivals throughout the NCAA!

The old rivals were at war, and everyone was paying attention, but Richard didn't take the mountain people seriously at all.

In December, he sent three letters of invitation to the mountain people in a row, but they refused to fight behind closed doors. I'm afraid they also knew very well that with their strength, they would not be the current opponents of the Boilermakers, so they fought so early. If so, losing would really affect morale!

In fact, there are currently fourteen teams in the Big Ten Conference, and four of them can be called famous basketball schools. In addition to the Mountaineers and Boilermakers, the Michigan State University Spartans and the University of Michigan Wolverines Also very famous!

The former walked out of the superstar Magic Johnson!

The latter is even more terrifying. The Michigan Five who ravaged the NCAA in the past two years are talking about them...

From this we can also see how terrifying the strength of the Big Ten Alliance is...

Of course, the three strongest competitors, the Boilermakers, are either the main players of the team participating in the draft, or they did not recruit any decent players, which led to their lack of strength. declined to varying degrees.

What really deserves Richard's attention is not these three teams, but the University of Wisconsin, which is not top-notch in the league...

The main reason is that they currently have a player on the team that Richard is very familiar with, Michael Finley, nicknamed the "poor man's version of Jordan"!

As long as someone's nickname can be tinged with the word "Jordan", his strength must not be underestimated. Richard Finley, an All-Star player in the future, still needs to pay attention to it.

…

In the opening game of the old rivalry, the Boilermakers won a clean victory, which was not beyond the expectations of Indiana fans!

The main reason is that the Boilermakers are in such a hot state. The two core players in the team, Ben and Iverson, are ridiculously strong. Although the Mountaineers have a good background, they can't find any comparable players in the team.

After defeating the old rivals, the Mountain Men, Richard's name has become known to everyone in Indiana.

If Ben and Iverson are both old players, then some people may think that Richard is taking advantage of the former head coach and just got lucky...

But right now, Ben and Iverson are both pure rookies. Under such circumstances, Richard's vicious eye for selection is particularly eye-catching!

…

It was a smooth journey again. After beheading the Mountaineers in the opening game, the Boilermakers continued their explosive form in the warm-up games in the following regular season, winning consecutive games, including the Spartans and Wolverines. Beheaded under the horse.

And just as Richard expected, the University of Wisconsin, under the leadership of Finley, has a very impressive record. So far, it has only lost one game to the Wolverines...

On February 10th, the Boilermakers' final regular season game was against dark horse Wisconsin!

The night before the game, Richard received a piece of news that made him somewhat baffled. Tianjing sent a basketball research team, which would arrive at Purdue University in two days...

Richard could guess why Purdue University was chosen as the destination of this research team.

The first reason is that Purdue University has a lot of good relations with China. Many well-known scientific figures in China are from this university. As far as Richard knows, in addition to Deng Jiaxian and Sun Liren, there are at least Two or three academician-level figures.

With this kind of good karma, it will definitely be convenient to go to Purdue University for research...

As for the second reason, it must be Richard, the Chinese head coach. Whether he is Chinese or overseas Chinese, he is a compatriot, and he is naturally close...

For these two reasons, there is no doubt that the destination of the research team is Purdue University.

But what Richard is confused about is, does China already pay so much attention to basketball in this era? Anyway, according to Richard's memory, it seems that in his previous life in the 1990s, the acceptance of basketball in China was not high, or even very low...

"Forget it, let's talk about it when we get here, it's really weird!" Richard shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

…

McGee Center Arena, the game has entered halftime!

After the first half of the game, what surprised the 14,000 fans present was that although the Wisconsin team was lagging behind, it did not collapse. They still had the strength to fight!

At half-time, they were only seven points behind!

Finley was on full fire throughout the first half of the game. Whether he was facing off against Brent Barry or Jerome Green, he had a considerable advantage. He made 9 of 14 shots and four takeaway hits. Free throws, he scored 24 points in the first half alone!

"Ben, I will give you a difficult task in the second half, which is to lock down Finley. I don't care what methods you use, but I don't want to see him score more than ten points in the second half!" Richard said angrily. .

Although Jerome Green is an old player, his talent is there. Whether it is offense or defense, he is completely inadequate...

Brent Barry has plenty of offensive firepower and is currently the main outside output point of the Boilermakers. However, his defense is not very strong, at least in front of Finley, who is known as the poor man's version of Jordan, he cannot play a big role.

Under such circumstances, Richard had no choice but to send out a powerful weapon!

Finley is the only threat in the Wisconsin team. Richard is confident that after strangling Finley, he can easily win his opponent!

"Don't worry, coach, leave this job to me, I will make him regret being born in this world!" Daben agreed without saying a word!

The game restarted in the second half. The biggest impression that Ben has left on the fans has always been his strong inside defense, but in fact, Ben's physical talent is equally effective in defending outside players!

At least now, Finley is extremely uncomfortable being defended by Ben, and is simply unable to perform as efficiently as he did in the first half.
