Five days have passed since the tournament, and nearly three-quarters of the teams have been eliminated in just a few days.
The fierce competition and cruel events pushed the NCAA to a climax, and the whole United States is discussing which team this year's NCAA championship will be.
The remaining teams in the Southern Division are: University of California, Los Angeles, University of Texas, University of Virginia and Eastern Washington University.
The Southern Division did not appear to be on the downs, and the qualifying teams were almost all the top teams predicted by most people.
This also proves from the side that several teams in the southern division are indeed strong, and they are not comparable to other teams at all.
"From the second stage, the NCAA has officially entered the top 16. The 16 strongest teams from the United States will compete for the NCAA championship together."
"The game at this stage will become more bloody."
On the Big Mouth Barkley Show, Fliggy said expectantly.
Today he invited two guests to participate in the show, one is the historical legend of the Lakers, Magic Johnson, and the other is the legendary star of the Trail Blazers Glider Drexler.
Magic Johnson said: "Among the four conferences, I am more concerned about No. 1 seed Florida in the North and No. 1 seed Ohio State in the East."
"Greg Oden is one of my favorite players."
Drexler had a different opinion on this. He said: "These two teams are considered to be the biggest favorites to win the NCAA championship this year. They are indeed attracting attention."
"But Erwin, I think you should pay attention to a team in Los Angeles. A kid named Zhang Jun has been invincible on the court recently."
Fliggy Barkley agreed and said, "Dude, you don't know that there is a player named Zhang Jun in Los Angeles."
Johnson was embarrassed for a while. Although he was from Lansing, Michigan, he became famous in Los Angeles and all his businesses were in California.
It's impossible to say that you don't know Zhang Jun. Apart from Kobe, the most famous person in Los Angeles this year is probably Zhang Jun. Even Zhang Jun, who is more popular among young fans, has a faint meaning that he is bigger than Kobe.
There are many young people in the field in Los Angeles imitating Zhang Jun's breakthrough footsteps, and the name of Lingbo Weibu has been widely spread.
When chatting with Jimmy Buss before, Johnson also learned from the other party that the Lakers have the idea of selecting Zhang Jun, a local player. Although this does not meet Kobe’s requirements for strengthening the team, it is at least a good one. supplement.
Just judging from the current situation, it may be difficult for the Lakers to select Zhang Jun, because Zhang Jun's mock draft pick has risen too scary.
It's just that a freshman rushed to the fifth place in the mock draft, and he even has the intention of moving on.
Especially with the start of the NCAA tournament, Zhang Jun continued to show his invincible breakthrough ability when facing these powerful national teams.
This has to make people re-examine Zhang Jun's personal ability.
In the Parker Twelve League, Zhang Jun played very well. This can also be explained by the lack of strength of the opponent. Now, when facing the strong opponents in the United States who are almost all the champions of their respective leagues, Zhang Jun and Zhang still perform so well. I can explain a little bit.
Zhang Jun's personal ability is really strong.
Johnson even heard the wind from some friends, and many team scouts have begun to follow Zhang Jun, analyzing his ability and upper and lower limits in detail.
So Johnson wants to mention Zhang Jun as little as possible, especially on TV shows. It is best to belittle the other party and reduce the popularity of this guy in the United States, so as to pave the way for the Lakers.
"Although it's a bit shameful, I can't control so much."

March 24.
After resting for several days, they finally ushered in the top 16 opponent, Eastern Washington University with extremely strong combat effectiveness.
The opponents he encountered in the championship for three consecutive games were all forwards and guards with very strong defensive capabilities at their core. Like Florida State, it is still a team with a very fierce defense overall. challenge.
For a while, West Germany wondered if the NCAA organizing committees were deliberately targeting their weaknesses.
Alford said: "This is not a good thing for us. It will allow Zhang Jun to face the pressure on the defensive end in advance, and it will also allow him to adapt to the next game in advance."
"Eastern Washington University's Rodney Starkey, Julian Wright, and Al Thornton's defensive capabilities are almost the same. Zhang Jun can challenge the defense of the latter two, and naturally he can also challenge Rodney Stark. base."
"I have full confidence in him now."
Sid couldn't help but rolled his eyes from the sidelines, and he didn't know who was worried about whether Zhang Jun could support the entire team before the start of the championship.
Judging from the current results, although Zhang Jun is only a freshman, both Sid and Alford are full of confidence in him.
Game start.
Eastern Washington University hit a 5:0 spurt as soon as it came up.
They are a team with a balanced offense and defense. In addition to defending against Zhang Jun, Eastern Washington University also pays special attention to its own offense.
Such a team also put a lot of pressure on Zhang Jun.
Because they are not like those teams that mainly defend, Zhang Jun can turn his head and devote all his energy to defending the opponent even if he cannot complete his personal offense. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com
But now Eastern Washington University is also a very good offensive team, and it is difficult to limit them with their overall defensive strength.
So once the offense is blocked, Eastern Washington University will fire with full firepower.
Mbah a Moute shot out a three-pointer, and Love grabbed an offensive rebound fiercely inside.
Don't look at Love, who doesn't seem to have much physical talent, and doesn't look like those famous inside springs, but his rebounding ability is not weak, and it can even be described as extremely strong.
The reason lies in his excellent positioning and rebounding awareness.
This is due to the fact that Le Fu has a good father, who has cultivated Le Fu's correct playing details since he was a child.
Love, who grabbed the rebound, immediately passed it back to Zhang Jun at the top of the arc. The latter hit the basket all the way to the penalty area, and violently blasted into the basket.
"Nice offensive rebound! Stay aggressive!"
Coach Alford glanced at the score, which was still unable to be opened, and applauded to encourage the players.
The game was tense from the start.
Love, who grabbed the rebound, raised his right hand to indicate that he was there, no problem.
Darren Collison misplaced Rodney Stuckey and was pushed directly to the basket by the latter for a layup.
The two teams completed their offenses one after another, each in its own offensive rhythm.
Zhang Jun is still facing strict defense. The best thing Eastern Washington University has done is to never let Zhang Jun catch the ball, especially in positional battles.
"We have to find a way to open the score!"
"It's too dangerous right now."
"But what to do, Brother Jun can't catch the ball."
"Bring up the screen, starburst tactics, we'll go for a three-man pick-and-roll!"
