Due to the competition format, the second stage of March Madness will have to change to a neutral arena again.

Therefore, the Wildcats had to return to the small town of Davidson first before making further plans.

When Sun Yi and others returned to the small town of Davidson, the entire airport was surrounded by fans.

Such a spectacular scene shocked all members of the Wildcats and stunned them.

Even when he came back from winning the Southern Conference championship, there were not so many fans gathered at the airport. This time it was really too exaggerated.

Sun Yi was wondering if everyone in the town of Davidson came to the airport to greet them.

All members of the Wildcats came to their senses and waved to the fans, thanking them for their support and love.

Fans chanted the names of Wildcat players and held up cards of support.

Among them, Sun Yi and Curry are the most popular players.

Due to the excessive enthusiasm of the fans, the Wildcats were delayed in returning to school, and they did not return to Davidson College until noon.

When they returned to Davidson College, all members of the Wildcats naturally received a warm welcome from all the teachers and students.

After finishing everything, head coach McClop looked down at his watch and found that it was already meal time. He immediately asked the players to go to the restaurant for lunch and wait until their stomachs were filled before making further arrangements.

In the afternoon, he summoned everyone from the Wildcats to the conference room for a pre-game tactics meeting as planned.

Because the second round of March Madness is all over, it means that the Wildcats' opponents in the second round have also been announced.

There are no surprises. The Wildcats' next opponent will be the Oklahoma Rapids, their old rival who played in the warm-up match before.

Before March Madness begins, the brackets are drawn up.

As long as the Wildcats and Rapids advance one after another, they will encounter each other sooner or later.

Wildcats fans admire head coach McClop's foresight.

Moreover, I am increasingly confident that the Wildcats will advance to the quarterfinals.

They feel that if the Wildcats can beat the Speedy in the warm-up match, they can win the second time.

As a person involved, McClop is not as optimistic as the fans.

He was extremely ashamed of the praise from the outside world.

The warm-up game with the Oklahoma City Rapids was purely coincidental, and he was not as amazing as the outside world said.

Moreover, the Speedy Team is not as vulnerable as outsiders say.

Following the lead of the news media, the Wildcats seemed to have firmly entered the top 8, and almost everyone was optimistic that the Wildcats would win.

This gave McClop a considerable headache. Before the game even started, media reporters started making trouble.

These are all Wildcats haters! Don’t you know that being popular means death?!

McClop has no energy to deal with the trivial matters of the outside world. He is fully preparing for the next game.

"Everyone must not believe the rumors from the outside world. Victory is not just talk, it has to be achieved through strength. I hope everyone will not be affected by the outside world and concentrate on preparing for the next game."

Before the meeting began, McClop solemnly reminded his disciples.

The Wildcats players nodded in agreement.

Seeing that his disciples had listened, McClop smiled and began to arrange offensive and defensive tactics.

"Although we defeated the Speedy Team in the warm-up match, after these few months of adjustments, they are no longer the team we met last time.

Since Tyler Griffin returned in the middle of the season, their interior defense has been improved, freeing up Blake Griffin and allowing him to fully exert himself on the offensive end, making their offense and defense more balanced, which they still have to this day.

Never lost a game."

McClop first introduced the changes in the Speed ​​Team during this period in detail.

"In the next game, the Speedy will definitely attack their strong point and attack the inside. This will put a lot of pressure on us."

"Therefore, in the next game, Stephen will focus on the offense, and Sun and Hassan will focus on the defense to limit Griffin."

Sun Yi and others nodded to express their understanding.

Immediately, McClop began to lay out detailed offensive and defensive tactics, assigning corresponding tasks to each of Sun Yi and the others.

"Okay, today's meeting is over. Go back and rest. Remember not to be late tomorrow."

After McClop finished speaking, he dismissed the team and left with the coaching staff.

After the disbandment, Sun Yi did not remain involved. After bidding farewell to his teammates, he went outside the school to have a haircut to make him look brighter and energetic.

After dealing with personal matters, Sun Yi returned to the dormitory to rest, thus ending an ordinary day.

…

…

The next day, Sun Yi resumed his usual high-intensity training.

Originally, head coach McClop was worried that Sun Yi would have problems if he conducted high-intensity training at such a critical period, and wanted to give him some advice.

However, when he saw that Sun Yi was exhausted after completing training the day before and still active the next day without any problems, he didn't worry anymore.

Regarding this phenomenon, McClop believes that this is Sun Yi's talent, otherwise it cannot be explained.

In the training hall, Sun Yi was sweating tirelessly on the court, constantly receiving basketballs from the trainer and practicing jump shots.

Curry and others are not idle either. They conduct special training to maintain good competitive condition.

Assistant coach Smith, who was watching from the sidelines, was amazed.

He witnessed the whole process as Sun Yi corrected his awkward shooting posture into a very standard shooting posture, and also practiced the mid-range shot.

"This little guy Sun's learning talent is really terrifying. If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe it."

The head coach Mike Lopp on the side said with disdain: "Robert, when will you change your bad habit of making a fuss? You really have never seen the world."

Although he said this, McClop was still very shocked in his heart.

"Sun has developed his mid-range shooting ability, which can enrich our tactics and give us another trump card."

McClop expressed his opinion, and then asked Assistant Smith to convene the coaching team to formulate mid-range shooting tactics for Sun Yi overnight, and seize the rest time in the past few days to practice and run in.

Although it won't be used in the next game, as long as the Wildcats can advance, they will definitely be able to use it.

At the same time, in the training hall of the Oklahoma City Rapids, Blake Griffin was training against his brother.

"Blake, don't be so desperate. There are only a few days until the game. If you get injured, you will lose more than you gain." Tyler Griffin advised.

Griffin stopped after hearing this and came to the sidelines alone to adjust his emotions.

When he learned that the Wildcats made it to the Sweet Sixteen, he couldn't calm down.

This Sweet Sixteen game is very important to Griffin.

Not only do I want to lead the team to victory, but I also want to get back to where we were in the warm-up match.

Griffin always thought in his heart that Sun Yi was just lucky enough to catch him.

If he had not been so careless at the time, such a shameful thing would not have happened.

Moreover, I think that the lucky guy stepped on him to get to the top and achieved what he is today.

As a candidate for the No. 1 pick, Griffin naturally cannot tolerate sand in his eyes and must avenge his shame.

"Two stinky rats with hands, wait until I beat them up!"
