Every year "March Madness" is a grand event for fans across the United States.

March Madness is even more popular than the NBA.

Every basketball fan can more or less find his or her own version of the game in March Madness.

Every year in Bald Eagle Country, a gaming company launches a "March Madness" section!

Since "March Madness" is a single-elimination tournament, each game is full of uncertainty, which reduces the possibility of human intervention.

It is this relatively fair and just, yet suspenseful competition system that causes a large number of fans to choose to buy their favorite teams every year.

Of course, it is precisely because of this uncertainty that many people are trying to get water out of the bamboo basket, but in vain!

…

On Friday, March 19th, the NCAA tournament went from 64 to 32, as promised!

The Midwestern and Eastern Divisions will start their 64-32 games on the 20th, while the Southern and Western Divisions will start their 64-32 games today.

The University of Southern California also came to Minneapolis, Minnesota yesterday.

That's right, USC's game against the Robert Morris Colonials was played in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the arena of choice was the Hubert Humphrey Dome instead of the home of the Timberwolves: Target Center

Museum.

This is the arena chosen by the NCAA committee to ensure the fairness of the teams. They are not in their respective home stadiums, which can ensure relative fairness to a certain extent.

Lian Dao and DeMar, who arrived in Minnesota yesterday, did not go out to hang out, nor did they find a training facility to train.

There is no way, the winter in Minnesota is too long, it is already late March, but it is still winter for Minnesota, and the temperature outside can reach minus 5-6 degrees.

Lian Dao and Demar were really not in the mood to go out in this horrible weather. As for training.

In fact, there is no need to cram in temporary measures. Their first priority now is to adjust their bodies to their best condition and ensure adequate rest!

Today they got up from bed and turned on the TV,

DeMar suggested that he want to watch the University of Connecticut Huskies game, and Lian Dao had no objection. In fact, whether it was watching the University of Connecticut Huskies, the No. 1 seed in the West, or the North Carolina Tar Heels, the No. 1 seed in the South, it was fine for Lian Dao.

.

Because these two teams have reached the top four in the country in history.

No matter which of these two teams it is, as long as USC wants to reach the finals, it is possible that they will eventually meet.

The University of Connecticut is very strong this year. Three of their five starting players have entered the NBA through the draft, and two of them have briefly joined the NBA through free agency.

The players who joined the NBA through the draft are: A.J. Price; Hasheem Thabeet; and Kemba Walker!

Among them, Hasheem Thabeet will be selected second overall by the Grizzlies, who hold the second pick in the first round this year!

In the future, Kemba Walker will be selected by the Bobcats with the ninth pick in the first round and become the head point guard of the Bobcats' future reconstruction.

The University of Connecticut is also a top basketball school and one of the few public Ivy League schools.

It is a double first-class university in academic and sports!

The team has produced many NBA stars: Rudy Gayin, Marcus Williams, Ben Gordon, and Emeka Okafor, etc.

They are all from the University of Connecticut.

In this game, whether it was the coach's tactical level or the players' quality and talent, the University of Connecticut Huskies completely defeated the Chattanooga Mocs.

Therefore, the possibility of an upset in this game is almost zero, and the two of them are not here to see whether the Chattanooga Mocs can upset.

They're looking at Hasheem Thabeet and Kemba Walker.

Before the game started, that is, yesterday afternoon, the two of them prepared all kinds of food just to watch today's game.

Through the game, it was found that Hasheem Thabit's interior defense was quite good, but his offense was poor.

But with a height of 2.21 meters, his advantage in the interior is very prominent, especially in rebounding. In the NCAA, he is simply unavailable.

I saw that it was basically difficult for the Chattanooga Mocs to succeed in the paint under the defense of Hashem Thabeet.

But Lian Dao can still see that Hashem Thabeet is too thin. Most of his confrontations in the interior rely on flexibility and height advantage. Once he encounters a powerful center, he will have a hard time.

.

Kemba Walker showed offensive aggressiveness in his freshman season. It can be seen from his breakthrough that he is very explosive.

But he can't compare with Kemba Walker in his junior year. He is still relatively immature now, and many offensive methods are not yet mature for him.

And if it is a mature Kemba Walker, he will be almost unstoppable when he rushes up, and his speed, footsteps and aggressiveness can be perfectly combined.

You can score anywhere on the court. You can use step-backs, changes of direction, and various fake moves to get rid of defenders and create various shooting spaces for yourself. You are full of creativity when breaking through with the ball. You can complete the score after physical confrontation.

The ability can also adjust the shooting angle in the air to avoid defenders coming to block shots.

Pull-up layups and floaters are his main ways of scoring, but his outside shots are accurate.

The most important thing is that he has good passing and organizational skills.

Compared to Hashem Thabeet, although Lian Dao is worried about Kemba Walker, he is not particularly worried.

Although Lian Dao is at a height disadvantage against Hashem Thabit, Lian Dao can definitely crush him in terms of strength.

Kemba Walker, thinking of this, Lian Dao turned his attention to Demar, which made Demar also seriously watch Kemba Walker's breakthrough on TV.

It would be exciting if Kemba Walker faced off against DeMar in his junior year!

Defensively, DeMar is definitely not inferior to Kemba Walker, and may even be better than him; but in terms of offensive diversity, Demar does not have three-pointers, and Kemba Walker has an advantage in this regard.

But DeMar is also better than Kemba Walker in breakthrough and mid-range shooting.

But Kemba Walker is still too young now!

However, their starting point guard A.J. Price deserves attention.

Thinking like this, the game is about to end. At 103:47, the University of Connecticut directly brought a massacre!

Lian Dao turned the remote control to the Southern Division. At this time, the Southern Division's No. 12 seed Western Kentucky Hilltop team ended up playing against the No. 5 seed Yin Lino Yinzhou and Yin Lini Fighting Team.

The 12th-seeded Western Kentucky Hilltoppers unexpectedly came up short, defeating the 5th-seeded Yinliu and Yinlini Fighting Team 84:71.

There was an upset on the first day of the NCAA tournament, and the No. 12 seed counterattacked the No. 5 seed team.

Sure enough, for March Madness, only you can’t imagine it, but they can’t do it!

Lian Dao and Demar looked at the score, and then looked at each other in confusion.

They have a new understanding of "March Madness" and pay more attention to it mentally.

The next day, when the team got up in the morning, they just did some basic training to adjust their physical condition.

In the afternoon, the bus came to the door of the hotel, and they were going to take the bus to the Hubert Humphrey Arena.

The game started around 4 pm, and they arrived early to adapt to the venue.

Although I arrived more than 2 hours early, there was already a sea of ​​people outside the Hubert Humphrey Dome. They were all fans waiting to line up to check in for tickets.

The Hubert Humphrey Dome can accommodate 50,000 to 60,000 people, but judging from the number of spectators outside, it will definitely exceed the maximum capacity of the arena.

Some of their fans who have not bought tickets will choose to watch the broadcast on the big screen outside the arena.

Because in their view, this is also a kind of support for their favorite team.

Most of the people at the scene were USC fans. Sitting on the bus, Lian Dao looked around and saw that it was all red.

Some of these fans fly or drive here from Southern California just to support their favorite teams.

The bus drove past the crowd, and people kept shouting the name of the University of Southern California basketball team.

Some fans also shouted the names of players such as Lian Dao, DeMar, and Gibson.

The atmosphere of the fans outside the Hubert Humphrey Dome also infected the USC players.

When he came to the locker room, Tim said nothing but stretched out his hand.
Chapter completed!
