The West and East are the dead groups in the four divisions. Unfortunately, ucLa entered one of them. Another representative team of the P-1O League, the Stanford Cardinal, entered the East, and USC and the Arizona Wildcats entered.

I was lucky enough to get into two other groups with peaceful competition.

Not talking about the Eastern Conference, just look at ucLa's opponents in this group, and you will understand which of the Iowa Hawkeyes, Cincinnati Tigers, Maryland Terrapins, Georgia Tech, and Georgetown teams is easy to mess with.

It can be said that ucLa has encountered the strongest division, because the teams mentioned above are all at the level of the elite eight or even the semi-finals.

The only consolation is that the UNETC Spartans are the lowest-ranked team in the conference. But anything can happen in the NCAA tournament, and there shouldn't be too many examples of No. 1 seeds overturning.

This is not the first time Steve LaVine has entered the NCAA tournament. He is not so nervous, but Li Lei is the head coach's biggest concern.

"Bruce, this is your first time participating in this national competition. Don't feel pressured. Just play as usual." Steve Lavin knew very well that it was not him who decided how far ucLa would go, but Li Lei's contact.

A guy who hasn't had professional basketball training for long, his starting point is higher than Tim Duncan and Olajuwon. Those two people didn't have such a glorious first year in college. It's precisely because of this that Steve LaVine understands

, if it fails, the blow to Li Lei will be huge, and it is very likely that the other party will give up professional basketball.

On March 15, in the Vienna Arena at the University of San Diego, c the Spartans, a team from the Southern Conference.

Li Lei took Steve LaVine's warning to heart. Although he had a cheat, it was not absolutely invincible. Every opponent must go all out.

The recruits in the UNCAA championship have only participated in the championship a handful of times. Head coach McCaffrey has coached UNC for several years and finally brought the opponent into the national competition. bsp; "Guys, now that we are here

Here, you have to go all out. Courtney believes in himself. You are no worse than that guy from UCLa. As long as we can prevent his shooting, we will definitely win."

The core of unc is Courtney Eldridge. This guy is over 1.9 meters tall like Li Lei. The only difference is that his wingspan is not that long, but his tonnage and strength are greater than Li Lei.

Much stronger.

The latter nodded, without much excitement on his face. He is a senior. After this season, if he is not selected by an NBA team, he will have no choice but to give up basketball, so this game is likely to be his last.

A basketball game.

McCaffrey and Courtney Eldridge both attach great importance to this game, and UCLa is also not careless. Steve LaVine sent a double point guard lineup. This combination is not uncommon in the NCAA championship.

, for example, the Duke Blue Devils are like this, and the same is true for Cincinnati, so ucLa is really nothing.

A lot of fans came to ucLa, which played at home. Apart from the ordinary fans, there were two women who stood out. Both of them were over 1.9 meters tall. This really stood out from the crowd.

"Lauren, why did you come to watch this game? If we have this time, we might as well go to Los Angeles for a nice stroll. Compared to this place, Cleveland is like the countryside."

The person speaking is Jane Waters, the second No. 1 pick from overseas in NBA history, and with her is another overseas player preparing to participate in the draft this year. She is taller than Jane Waters.

higher.

The woman named Lauren did not answer Jane Waters. Her eyes were on the court. At this time, Li Lei and Courtney Eldridge faced each other. Both sides played two rounds each. ucLa temporarily

Leading, but Li Lei did not take action, but sent 2 assists.

Lauren Jackson frowned. The CAA arena was obviously different from the regular season.

Lauren Jackson is more famous in the world of women's basketball than Jane Waters from Belgium. After confirming to participate in the draft this year, she came to the United States to train early. In addition to training, she watched many games.

video, and Li Lei was an interesting guy she discovered by chance.

Courtney Eldridge and Lauren Jackson have the same opinion. Why did this guy pass the ball instead of shooting a three-pointer? This is completely unscientific.

Courtney Eldridge controlled the ball, and then raised his huge buttocks to hit Li Lei. Barkley was the leader of this technique, and Mark Jackson made him famous. After Mark Jackson

, many big-ass defenders like to use this move to eat guys smaller than themselves. This is what Courtney Eldridge did in the previous two attacks. Li Lei seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"Boy, I have to remind you that the NCAA tournament is too dangerous. You'd better go home and eat milk." Courtney Eldridge stuck out his butt and started talking trash. Behind him, Li Lei

Without fighting back, Courtney Eldridge continued to poke. With less than ten seconds left in the thirty-five seconds of the attack, Li Lei's body suddenly left him and ran to another place.

, Courtney Eldridge leaned forward and almost fell to the ground, but he still passed the ball before he completely lost his balance.

"Oh, ucLa's No. 34, what is he doing? Why did he suddenly give up on defense? Oh my god, steal. This guy actually stole the ball directly on the passing route."

The commentator on the scene seemed very embarrassed because many ucLa fans began to boo him wildly.

"What do you know? This is a bluesy performance."

"Don't you know Bruce's nickname? This is his specialty."

…………

The audience at the scene was already used to Li Lei's behavior. After all, Li Lei performed it many times during the regular season this season.

Li Lei stole the ball and assisted Barnes to score another 2 points. Barnes was the Bruins' most enthusiastic player in the opening game. He had already scored 4 points, and unc coach McCaffrey on the sidelines called a timeout.
