Chapter 45: Tournament Opponents

"This year's NCAA Tournament groupings are shit!"

"Come on, Joe, get ready for the game"

"Rajon, don't you think we've been ignored this year?! Our University of Kentucky was in the quarterfinals of the NCAA last year! We also lost the tournament championship. Why can Villanova University become the overall seed team? But our University of Kentucky To be sacrificed?! Go to the 8th seed in the Atlanta area of ​​TM! How dare we play UW in the second round! F-uck!"

Jacksonville, Florida.

Rajon Rondo and some of his University of Kentucky teammates acclimate to the field at Jacksonville University's Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.

Jacksonville University's Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena is one of two venues in the Atlanta area for this year's NCAA Tournament.

There are two venues in the Atlanta area, one in Jacksonville, Florida, and the other in Dallas, Texas.

The Jacksonville sub-area will host the first and second rounds of this year's NCAA Tournament Atlanta's No. 1, No. 4, No. 5, No. 8, No. 9, No. 12, No. 13 and No. 16 seeded teams.

After eight teams play the first and second rounds here, the two teams with consecutive victories will move to Atlanta.

Together with the other two teams that advanced from the Dallas sub-field, they will compete for a place in the final four.

"Shit Redick, shit Duke!"

After coming to Jacksonville from Kentucky, Rajon Rondo, who had been trying to calm himself down, couldn't help but spit.

If Duke University hadn't lost the status of the overall seed team, even if Kentucky performed poorly this year, they would not be assigned to the University of Washington!

Now, in order to create momentum for Duke and the University of Washington's expected quarterfinals, the league regards Kentucky as a victim of momentum!

Last year, the University of Kentucky reached the final eight under the leadership of Chuck Hayes and Kelana Azubuike.

Hayes and Azubuike also took advantage of the trend to participate in the NBA draft.

After Hayes and Azubuike left, the team could only be handed over to him, Joe Crawford and Randolph Morris, three sophomores.

Under the leadership of the three of them, Kentucky, who was in the top eight last year, had a poor record of 21 wins and 12 losses in 33 games in the non-league and league stages.

Not to mention the 34-game winning streak like the University of Washington, but losing 12 games in the league and non-league games in one season is still beyond everyone's imagination.

They are the University of Kentucky!

All sixty-five teams are in the tournament, except for Monmouth and Hampton, who play playoffs as the 64th and 65th seeds.

They lost the most games among the other sixty-three teams that normally entered the NCAA Tournament!

It's true that the whole of the United States is watching the jokes of Duke University, and they have a lot of jokes at Kentucky this year!

With such a poor record, how could he be treated as the eighth seed in the division?

From George Washington University, 26 wins and 2 losses are only the eighth seed!

The current group of waste in Kentucky, do they rely on their ancestors, or rely on themselves? This goes without saying.

Duke University and the University of Kentucky are now being ridiculed by the public opinion in the United States as a double waste of rich and powerful families.

The shit depends on the ancestors!

Shit rich and powerful double waste!

Do you think we are willing to come here as the eighth seed? !

We would rather go to the other three districts as the 15th and 16th seeds than stay in the University of Washington district as the 8th seed!

In other districts, there is still hope of entering the final four and entering the land of dreams!

In this area of ​​the University of Washington, dreams are shattered before they even begin!

Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena,

Rajon Rondo was doing three-pointer training with an ugly face.

Rajon Rondo's three-pointers, which constantly caused the sound of banging irons, made other people around him who were also adapting to the field here very uncomfortable.

"This bitch number four in Kentucky!"

Paul Millsap cursed secretly.

Knowing that other people around him are upset because of the University of Washington, this guy is deliberately making noise there!

His shooting as an inside is not as bad as this guy!

Look at his teammate, Kentucky's No. 33, who seems to be called Randolph Morris, and he shoots very accurately!

Rajon Rondo?

What a shame!

If it wasn't for his lack of background and teammates not in the mood to come here to adapt to the venue, he would have long wanted to beat up this bitch like JJ-Redick beat up Chris Paul!

Isn't it the eighth seed, and the second round will meet the University of Washington?

Are they miserable at Louisiana Tech? !

They are about to touch the University of Washington in the first round!

As the rebounding leader of the NCAA in the past three years, as the junior of the great Karl Malone, this is the first time he has played in a national championship in three years of college!

From the ecstasy of being invited to the crying of knowing the matchup map, the time difference is less than 30 seconds!

His first trip to the tournament was about to be swept by the University of Washington in the first round.

It is foreseeable that he will never receive an invitation from the NCAA again in his senior year next year.

The last time Louisiana Tech participated in the NCAA National Championships was in 1991.

It has been 15 years since this year!

The banging of irons was making Paul Millsap more and more irritated now.

Could his future be like this?

As the NCAA's rebounding leader for the past three years, his draft prospects have never been better.

Expert scouts look down on his physicality, or his talent.

Even if he made himself more like the great Karl Malone.

He's not Karl Malone either...

Maybe, after the tournament is over, it's time for me to meet the great senior and ask him to help me figure out a way.

The atmosphere at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial is sombre.

The seven teams here except for the University of Washington are the seven teams that were killed by the NCAA league.

The strength of the University of Washington this year, the strength of Ye Si, and the strength of Roy have made everyone here unable to laugh.

The NCAA National Championships was originally a dream-chasing place, but before they started running, they already knew that there was an impossible obstacle ahead.

"This atmosphere is terrible!"

Paul Millsap slammed the basketball out of his hands.

Jacksonville is in the southeastern part of the United States, while Seattle is in the northwestern part of the United States.

It took Yayce and UW far more time to travel from Seattle to Jacksonville than the other seven teams.

"Jacksonville is so beautiful, compared to what we have in Seattle!"

"It's beautiful, but I still like the architectural style of Seattle, which is the most beautiful place in my heart!"

Coming to Jacksonville, the University of Washington is in a good mood.

"Yes and the University of Washington are here, keep up!"

Chased by the national media, Ye Si, with his usual indifference on his face, led his teammates to board the bus that had been prepared long ago.

Jacksonville Veterans Memorial.

Paul Millsap, who was getting more and more irritable listening to the sound of banging irons, heard waves of messy footsteps and clicks in his ears.

Hearing these messy footsteps and clicks, all the players who were adapting to the field stopped their movements.

They are so familiar with these voices!

Immediately afterwards, they saw the group of reporters carrying long guns and short cannons, constantly clicking and taking pictures!

Then, surrounded by dozens or even hundreds of reporters, came out a group of people wearing handsome white sweatshirts.

The familiar team uniform, and the familiar indifferent No. 9 walking in the front.

Washington University!

Yes!

Rajon Rondo and Paul Millsap both shook their fists hard.

Yes is coming to them with the University of Washington!

Ignored by Yes...

Being passed between the two by Yes...

They were also squeezed away by the reporters surrounded by Ye Si like scarecrows and minions.

"Rajen, are you okay?"

"Let's go over there"

Everyone in this field gave up the field with a tacit understanding.

This is a superstar!

This is Yes!

Rajon Rondo, very unwilling...

"I am also the rebounding leader for three consecutive years!"

Paul Millsap is not unwilling.

He is bitter.

His rebounding leader for three consecutive years is really worthless compared to Ye Si's scoring leader!
