Chapter 385
The home court of the Bruins belongs to the top venues in the NCAA, hosting large-scale events without any effort.
After Xu Tian accepted an interview with "People" magazine in the afternoon, he took the special car driven by Alice and came to UCLA.
Recently, Xu Tian's influence has gradually increased, and Alice has become more low-key, and has rarely appeared in public, leaving all the stage to Xu Tian.
The locals in Los Angeles basically knew who Xu Tian was, and many UCLA college students were his fans, so the rumor that he came to the game quickly spread throughout the school.It's just that the admission tickets have been delivered a few days in advance, and there is no way to get them again.Many impoverished students have greatly improved their economic conditions by virtue of the tickets they have.
The opponent of the Bruins tonight is still the Duke Blue Devils who have played two friendly games before.
Magic Johnson has not been busy with trading matters recently, and he also took time to come to the scene to watch the game between the Blue Devils and the Bruins tonight.
The magician and Xu Tian were sitting next to each other, and the two exchanged their experience of away games before the game. The magician shared with Xu Tian some old stories about the team playing away games during the Showtime period.This kind of story has always been rarely seen in the media, and it is difficult for outsiders to get in touch.
Brandon Ingram has been considered to enter the top three in the draft, and his reputation is getting bigger and bigger. His appearance has attracted cheers no less than that of NBA stars.
The magician always smiled and said: "I like watching college students' games recently. This kind of game that determines the outcome has greater unpredictability and looks more exciting. The NBA regular season, maybe It’s not as exciting as the playoffs of the NCAA Tournament.”
Xu Tian said: "Fans will be more familiar with NBA players and have viewing habits that are difficult to change. Unless fans who watch the NBA for a long time have developed aesthetic fatigue, few people will pay attention to the NCAA."
"No." Magic Johnson was baffled, "NCAA is very popular in the United States, sometimes even more popular than the NBA."
It was only then that Xu Tian remembered that he was thinking according to domestic thinking, and said: "People in our area are not familiar with NCAA games."
The host's voice sounded at the scene, interrupting what the magician wanted to say.
Both Xu Tian and the magician looked at the field, and saw that the referee had already started introducing the game, which meant that the game would start soon.
The old coach K is a legendary coach who has led the American men's basketball team. He is among the top coaches in the NCAA. With this golden signboard, Duke University can recruit good players almost every year.
Brandon Ingram is considered by scouts to be the next Grant Hill. He is close to 206 cm tall and has a very good wingspan, but his appearance is not high. Compared with the top pick Ben Simmons , popularity varies wildly.
As Xu Tian shines in the NBA, the outside world has paid more attention to tall point guards. Therefore, Ben Simmons' popularity has almost doubled compared to last year, and some people have even discussed that he will be the next Xu Tian.
The referee walks to the middle circle with the ball and begins to execute the jump ball for this game.
The NCAA game is divided into two halves, each half is 20 minutes, and the attack time of a single round is 35 seconds, which is different from the 24 seconds of NBA and FIBA offense.The time limit for advancing halftime is not 8 seconds, but 10 seconds.
The NCAA also has a different accumulative foul rule than the NBA.When the team has accumulated 7 fouls, each foul will allow the opponent to get 1+1 free throws, which means that if you hit the first free throw, you will get another free throw opportunity.When the team has accumulated 10 fouls, it is the same as the NBA and gets 2 free throw opportunities.
Watching the football live is more atmospheric than watching a TV broadcast with commentary, but it also brings a disadvantage, that is, Xu Tian does not know many players, so he can only distinguish Li Feng, Xu Wenye and Brandon Ingram. , he is not familiar with the name and style.But this does not affect watching the game, as long as you can understand the score.
The referee threw a basketball in the middle circle, and the centers of both sides took off, officially starting this single-game knockout match.
Old Coach K stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed over his chest, watching the first round with a calm expression.
The NCAA whistleblowing scale is a little looser than that of the NBA, and the degree of physical confrontation is stronger, which can arouse the enthusiasm of the audience.But limited by physical fitness, defensive quality is not enough.
Brandon Ingram received a pass from the Blue Devils defender, held the ball with his back and hands, tested the defense of the Bruins small forward, turned around and passed the latter easily, faced the center's supplementary defense, and hit a layup with high hands.
The talent gap is obvious, and Ingram scored two points first.
Both Li Feng and Xu Wenye belonged to rotation players. They sat on the bench and quietly watched their teammates attack.
The head coach of the Bruins, Ben Holland, also stood on the sidelines, but he was far less relaxed than the old coach K, and he paid great attention to the team's offense.
The Bruins defender didn't find a chance to pass the ball and forced a breakthrough with the ball, which was blocked by Ingram, who was helping to defend.
The Blue Devils defender grabbed a defensive rebound and quickly pushed the counterattack, but due to insufficient basic skills and vision, the effect was not ideal.
The defense of the Bruins is in place quickly, the most basic one-on-one defense, and the players who are responsible for each follow up.
The old coach K's tactics are very clear, and he will focus on Ingram. When the Bruins double-team the defense, he will change his offensive tactics.
Ingram got the pass again and played the No. 45 small forward of the Bruins with his back.
NCAA球衣规则与NBA有所不同，只有37个号码可供选择，分别是0-5、00、10-15、20-25、30-35、40-45和50-55，0号和00号不能同时存在，6、7、8、9不作为球衣号码使用。
The No. 45 small forward of the Bruins is obviously not Ingram's opponent. Not only is he at a disadvantage in height, but he can't even keep up with his speed.In the process of chasing and defending, he paid a thug foul and stopped Ingram.
Ingram got to the free throw line and missed both free throws.
The magician valued Xu Tian's vision and asked, "Xu, what do you think of Brandon Ingram's prospects?"
"I don't know very well." Xu Tian really didn't have time to pay attention to NCAA games. He just read Ingram's scouting report. Other than that, it seems like there is no better player in this class."
The magician asked: "What do you think of Ben Simmons? Now some media say he is the next you."
"Is his shooting ability strong?" Xu Tian is most concerned about shooting ability, which is the most important foundation for standing in the league today.
The magician thought for a while and said, "He is more like me, and his shooting ability is far inferior to yours."
"That should be able to become an All-Star, and it is impossible to become a top star." Xu Tian rarely expressed his opinion, "There are many people who have practiced shooting in the league, but almost all of them can maintain a stable shot and become a killer move. A player who has a strong shot when he enters the league. Players who develop later will basically not use shooting as a conventional weapon."
Xu Tian's words made the magician fall into deep thought.
