NCAA March Madness has begun.
The whole of the United States is discussing the upcoming collegiate tournament. Coincidentally, this time period is after the NBA All-Star Game and before the NBA playoffs. Fans can pay attention to both games at the same time.
Even in the third stage of the NCAA tournament, even the NBA will give way and vacate the game period for these few days.
The game time for the first stage has been announced.
The wild card competition is March 15-16, the first round is March 17-18, and the second round is March 20-21.
Bruins training facility.
"Run! Run!"
"Immediately after completing the full-court warm-up run, I followed up with 100 three-point training, followed by an hour of tactical training."
"Cheer up, everyone!"
The West German coach supervised the training of the players very seriously, and maintained a meticulous attitude in the details of the training. All the players have already felt a sense of tension and oppression.
"Guys, where's the first stage?" Love whispered as he ran back.
Captain Aaron Afflalo, counting this time, is already a veteran of the NCAA tournament for four years, he said to the young player Cope.
"All the games of Crazy Three are not related to home and away games, but are played on neutral grounds. Starting from the divisional round, the competition venues are distributed all over the United States. The NCAA organizing committee selects several competition venues. The head coaches of the two teams Let’s decide together which arena the game will be held in.”
"Considering the fatigue of traveling and the intensity of the competition, most of the competition venues will be compromised as arenas that are equally close to the two teams. As for the locations of the semifinals and finals."
"It's in Las Vegas." Mbah a Moute couldn't help but said first.
Le Fu was surprised and said, "In the casino?"
Aaron Afflalo nodded, it is indeed a casino.
This is what makes NCAA March Madness so insane.
Every March, there are many places across the United States to bet on the NCAA, most of which are friends of three or five get together to choose a team from the matchup chart published in the newspaper, or directly select the hometown team and bet on it. $10, $20 bets.
Then everyone meets together to watch the game at home or in a bar, waiting for good luck to come.
This should be considered a very crazy thing in the eyes of most people, but in the eyes of Las Vegas, the casino city, it is just the life of ordinary people.
There is a completely different scene here, and it can even be called a ceremony.
People from all over the world will fly to Las Vegas from all over the world, betting, reminiscing, drinking, smoking, and watching games one after another, without even caring about eating, sleeping, let alone taking a bath.
A lot of people say they're here for the friends, the food and the sports, but most are pretty clear they're for the youth they once were, the kind of youth that can really get them excited.
And the moment the result of the game appeared, the excitement, shouts and sighs of countless people around would bring them such a feeling.
This is really crazy!
"I've also seen countless games in Las Vegas. I can swear there is no place on earth that is more enjoyable than watching in Las Vegas."
"The crowd, the atmosphere, you just don't get that kind of sports on your doorstep."
"Crazy really is the only way to describe this."
Ba Moute recalled that he once went to Las Vegas with the identity of a prince, and immediately entered an inexplicable state after getting off the plane.
You will see students in various school uniforms all around the street, they are chanting their own slogans, and there are fruit dancers on the famous Las Vegas Boulevard, and they will warmly invite you to enter the venue.
Le Fu was drooling when he heard it, and suddenly felt that the life of the upper class was a bit extravagant, which made him unimaginable.
Aaron Afflalo patted the shoulders of several people with a smile and said: "When I go to Las Vegas, I will take you to experience it, but the premise is that you have to score FirstFour."
All the players became energetic after hearing this, their hearts were full of pride, and they raised their fighting spirit for the next game.
"Brother Jun, I'll take you out to have a good time when the time comes, those bunny girls in Las Vegas, hehe..."
Seeing Bamot stretching out his hands to compare with his chest, Zhang Jun replied directly, "I have never seen the world."
"By the way, is the bunny girl a waitress with bunny ears?"
A group of people looked at Zhang Jun with contempt, who the **** hadn't seen the world.
Sid saw a few people having a lively chat, and interrupted: "Train seriously! Don't take it lightly and lose the game like before."
Mbah a Moute patted his chest and promised that the only scene of losing a game this season would not happen again.
At this time, Coach Alford walked in. He motioned for the players to stop first, and said, "The results of the wild card game between Gardner Webb University and the University of Kansas have come out."
"Kansas beat Gardner-Webb 68-65."
"Our match with them is scheduled for March 17, which is the day after tomorrow, and the match venue is at the Collinsy Arena in Sacramento."
Hearing this, all the players cheered up.
Coach Alford looked at each player seriously, and finally set his sights on Zhang Jun.
"To win, we have to give our best from the start."
"Guys, don't let yourself have any regrets."
"Everyone's life has a long time, but the college life is only four years, and the NCAA career may be even shorter~www.mtlnovel.com~ For this moment, for yourself, please release all your strength."
"Bruins!"
Everyone shouted tacitly: "Rush forward!"

ESPN talk show.
Reggie Miller and Charles Barkley participated in the interview as invited guests.
Sexy host Michelle Biddle said with a smile: "Reggie, Charles, you used to be professional basketball players, I believe your vision is professional, so can you give some advice to the fans in front of the TV. "
"For example, which team has the greater hope of winning the NCAA championship trophy."
Barkley opened his standard big mouth and laughed, "You naughty boy, it's not so easy to get an answer from me."
"Those guys in Las Vegas will kill me."
"So what I said next is just my personal opinion, and does not mean what will happen in the end. Fans, please refer carefully."
Michelle Biddle laughed, $100 for being the first to say that I would definitely vote for the team that Barkley predicted after tonight.
Barkley restrained his smile and began to say sternly: "In my opinion, the University of Florida is still the strongest team in the NCAA."
"It's indisputable. They also have five five-star college students ranked in the top 30 in the United States. At the same time, they also have two players ranked in the top 100 in the United States on the bench."
"It's more important that they are the defending champions."
"And Al Horford and Joakim Noah obviously had very good draft opportunities last year, but they chose to stay on the team beyond everyone's expectations. Florida has almost maintained the same complete team lineup this year as last year."
