There is nothing better than defeating the "rivals from the same state" and advancing to the national championship!

If so, just pretend I didn't say it.

This is what Zhou Shuren said.

If he didn't say it, just assume I didn't say it.

Anyway, Arizona State University students are feeling pretty good right now.

Like them, UCLA fans are also feeling very happy now. UCLA, which has successfully met the Sun Devils in the finals, is now officially confirmed to be the second seed in the Pac-12 Conference for March Madness!

All teams have played from the start of the regular season in November to the current stage for a ticket to "March Madness", and now they have successfully obtained it!

However, this made them lose their fighting spirit in the finals.

After all, they have already secured the Pac-12 playoff championship, which doesn't interest them at all.

Well...they definitely didn't say that because they couldn't beat the Sun Devils. They really...well, really have no interest in this playoff championship.

Didn't you see that we all lay down and let the Sun Devils ravage us?

87 to 60, this was the final score between the Sun Devils and UCLA after the finals. They had lost their fighting spirit. UCLA, which had lost to the Sun Devils twice in a row in the regular season by big scores, was once again brutally beaten.

The score difference was 27 points, which was basically the biggest difference in strength between the two teams in all the NCAA Division I leagues this year.

Probably this season, they have been tortured to the point of numbness. Anyway, the UCLA guys didn't feel too abnormal after the game. Instead, they showed a bit of relief. Next, they will play "March Madness", and there is a high probability that they will not be able to meet them.

Go to the Sun Devils. After being abused in the Pac-12 for a season, they can finally abuse others!

They don't think that other leagues have such a perverted team as the Sun Devils!

"We are not worse than other teams, it's just that the Sun Devils are too strong..." Jrue Holiday faced the media's camera after the game and stubbornly emphasized that they are not weak, they just happen to be as good as the Sun Devils.

The teams are in the same division.

He had to emphasize such a thing!

Because in three games with the Sun Devils, he didn't even average 11 points per game, his shooting percentage was only about 35%, and he averaged 4 turnovers per game!

His draft prospects have become increasingly bleak after each game. If he doesn't make a few excuses, he will fall out of the 20th pick in the first round.

He is now waiting for "March Madness" to begin, and then prove himself again through games with other teams!

It’s really difficult!

Who would have thought that this year's Pac-12 would have such a monster as the sun!

Jordan Hill: Who says not?

After the Sun Devils brutally tortured UCLA, there was no change in their expressions. It was as if they were not playing UCLA, the top team in the NCAA, but just a little-known small school team, and they were playing poorly.

It wasn't the Pac-12 playoff finals, it was just a normal warm-up match. They didn't even look like the winning side, but like the losing side.

There's nothing we can do about it. They are too strong this year. They have been wreaking havoc in the Pac-12 Conference for a whole season. UCLA and the Wildcats are like paper in front of them. They will break at the touch. It really doesn't matter if they win.

No amount of winning is enough to get the Sun Devils excited anymore.

I’m really used to it!

Lin Ri's first thought after playing in the finals was to contact shooting coach Walker. He was dissatisfied with the fact that he was successfully limited to the low post by the Arizona Wildcats in the semifinals.

At the same time, this is also a hidden danger. There is no guarantee that other teams will not follow suit after entering "March Madness".

You must know that this is not five or six years ago. At that time, the teams entering "March Madness" had too few information channels to understand their opponents. This made many duels often in which both sides did not understand each other.

carried out under circumstances.

Now with the rapid development of the Internet, there are too many ways for the head coaches of each team to know their opponents. Lin Ri does not feel that his weakness in holding the ball will not be targeted in March Madness.

I'm afraid it would be weird not to target it!

So Lin Ri had to find a way to solve this problem.

Of course, with his current D+ level ball control ability, D level singles ability with the ball, and D level inside footwork, he wants to develop his singles ability with the ball in less than two weeks before March.

It's almost no different from dreaming.

However... he may be able to "pretend" that he has very strong singles ability with the ball.

Especially his ability to play singles with the ball in the low post is what he really needs.

After all, when Lin Ri stands in the high post, he can cover up his lack of ball-handling ability by using a series of means such as pick-and-roll with James Harden, passing, cutting, shooting and passing.

But when he was in the low post, due to his lack of personal offensive ability with the ball, Lin Ri was unable to form an effective double-team attraction. This left him with nothing to do after getting the ball. He had to wait for someone to respond to him.

Pass the ball, this is too passive!

When "March Madness" begins, all they have to face are the powerful players from other major leagues. If he falls into a passive position and others do not perform well, they are likely to lose!

The only team that can survive to the end of "March Madness" is the team that keeps winning. Otherwise, there is no other way. Even if it only loses one game, the only result is "going home."

Lin Ri can accept defeat, but he cannot accept defeat caused by his own defeat!

Doesn't that mean that he is not suitable to be a core player?

This is something he absolutely cannot accept!

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, as Lin Ri's first love said: Ah Ri has always been a very crisis-conscious person.

Lin Ri had some ideas. If his idea could be successful, maybe he could "pretend" to have the ability to hold the ball in the low post and play singles as he thought.

This is also the reason why he came to Walker. The latter has been his shooting coach and is very familiar with his style of play. With his help, Lin Ri believes that his ideas will be more certain to be realized.

…

While Lin Ri was trying to disguise his lack of singles ability with the ball in the low post, the playoffs of the major NCAA leagues were gradually coming to an end. With the birth of the playoff champions of each major league, they would go straight to the top 32 seeded teams in the national competition.

It was also officially born.

NCAA officials have clearly divided the top 32 based on factors such as the overall strength of the major leagues and the lineups of these playoff champion teams.

Since the regular season has not yet begun, North Carolina, which has already had high hopes of winning the championship, has become the No. 1 seed, followed closely by the University of Michigan, and the No. 3 seed behind it is Connecticut with Thabeet... No one has

What comes to mind is that the Sun Devils are officially ranked as the fourth seed by the NCAA.

"No one would think that UCLA is a weak team, but in front of the Sun Devils, they have indeed become a weak team. There is no other reason than that the Sun Devils' duo of James Harden and the sun is too strong! This

This is also the reason why they are ranked as the fourth seed. Even if this team only has these two guys, these two guys are enough to put them in this position!"

This is the official explanation!

Among the top ten seeded teams this year, there is no other team except them that is ranked in the top ten because of only two players!

The Sun Devils duo is officially recognized!

Then there is the ranking of the top 32 after entering the national championship through the regular season record ranking.

In fact, there is still overtime to be played in the ranking of the top 32. The playoff champions of some weaker leagues need to play overtime with the "second best" regular season players from other leagues to fight for a spot. The winner is officially

The quota is locked, and the loser will be directly eliminated and will not be eligible for "March Madness".

But these things have nothing to do with UCLA. As the second seed in the Pac-12 Conference, their final ranking in the top 64 in the country is not low. They are ranked as the 39th seed team in the country.

In other words, among so many "second seeds" in the league, UCLA is ranked 7th. To be honest, it is really not low. After all, they were the most abused in the playoff finals of this year's major leagues.

A miserable losing team.

It's not at the same level as the Sun Devils.

In this way, the NCAA officially ranks it as the No. 39 seed team. It can only be said that the golden sign of "NCAA's No. 1 powerhouse" is really useful.

…

"Dayao was substituted. He only played less than 27 minutes in this game. The game will end in about 3 minutes. The Rockets are leading by 9 points. He should not be able to play again.

After playing, it can be seen that Adelman has used Dayao very clearly this season, allowing Dayao to perform enough in the shortest possible time. This is why the Rockets can rank fourth in the Western Conference this season.

reason."

At the same time, Station C was broadcasting a home game between the Rockets and the Kings. The Rockets played very easily throughout the game, always suppressing the Kings. In the last 3 minutes, they established a 9-point advantage.

, if nothing else, the Rockets should win.

Anyway, Zhang Weiping has already begun to summarize this game.

He focused on Adelman's use of Yao Ming, which in his opinion was very reasonable.

Yao Ming's physical fitness is his biggest problem. If this problem can be solved, then Yao Ming will be the most terrifying weapon at the fifth position!

Judging from this game and even the entire regular season, Adelman handled Yao Ming's physical problems very well. He controlled Yao Ming's playing time to about 33.6 minutes, which is Yao Ming's average appearance per game in the past six seasons.

A new low in time, but his shooting percentage is a new high in the past four years!

Yao Ming's high efficiency has also made it easier for the Rockets to win. They are currently ranked fourth in the Western Conference, suppressing the Mavericks and Jazz in the past few seasons.

This is the most promising year for the Rockets!

Although we keep saying this every year, it seems like it will be true this time!

In the end, the Rockets won the game without any surprises. After Zhang Weiping once again praised the Rockets for their "reasonableness" in the game, the broadcast of the Rockets officially ended.

As soon as Zhang Weiping took off the headset, he shouted to the staff: "Um, have the groups for this year's NCAA national championship been announced? What is the seed number of the team that the little guy named Lin Ri is on?"

The staff responded, but did not come out to answer immediately. They should have asked other staff.
