Chapter 42

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

Therefore, the Wildcats had to go back to Davidson Township first, and then make further plans.

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

Such a spectacular scene directly stunned all members of the Wildcats.

Even when they came back from winning the Southern League championship, there were not so many fans gathered at the airport. This time it is too exaggerated.

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

All the staff of the Wildcats came to their senses and waved to the fans one after another, thanking them for their support and love.

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

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

Due to the enthusiasm of the fans, the Wildcats delayed their return to school and 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, the head coach McCropp looked down at his watch and found that it was time for lunch, so he asked the players to go to the restaurant for lunch, and then proceed to the next step after filling their stomachs.

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

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

Without any surprise, the next opponent of the Wildcats will be the old rival Oklahoma Speed ​​​​team who played in the warm-up game before.

Before March Madness started, the matchup charts were lined up.

As long as the Wildcats and Sooners advance, they will face each other sooner or later.

Fans of the Wildcats have admired the foresight of coach McClupp.

And, there is growing confidence that the Wildcats will advance to the quarterfinals.

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

As the person involved, McClupp is not as optimistic as the fans.

For the appreciation of the outside world, he was extremely ashamed.

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

Moreover, the Speed ​​​​Team is not as vulnerable as outsiders say.

Under the rhythm of the news media, the Wildcats seem to have entered the top 8, and almost everyone is optimistic about the Wildcats winning.

This gave McClop quite a headache. Before the game was played, the media reporters started making troubles.

These are all Wildcats haters!Don’t you know that you will die from the heat? !
For the trivial matters of the outside world, McClopp has no energy to deal with, and he is preparing for the next game with all his strength.

"Everyone, don't believe the rumors from the outside world. Victory is not just based on words, it has to be won by strength. I hope everyone will not be influenced by the outside world and concentrate on preparing for the next game."

Before the meeting started, McCropp solemnly reminded his disciples.

The players of the Wildcats nodded their heads in agreement.

Seeing that the disciples had listened, McCropp smiled and began to arrange offensive and defensive tactics.

"Although we defeated the Speed ​​​​team in the warm-up match, after these 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, and they are still there today. Never lost a game. "

McCropp first gave a detailed introduction to the changes of the Speed ​​​​team during this period.

"In the next game, the Speed ​​​​team will definitely play their strengths 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 the others nodded, expressing their understanding.

Immediately, McCropp began to arrange 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 team.

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

After finishing his personal affairs, Sun Yi went back to the dormitory to rest, thus ending his ordinary day.

……

……

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

Originally, the head coach McCropp was worried that Sun Yi would go wrong during such a critical period of high-intensity training, and wanted to dissuade him.

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

For such a phenomenon, McCropp believes that this is Sun Yi's talent, otherwise there is no way to explain it.

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 that Sun Yi corrected his awkward shooting posture into a very standard shooting posture, and he also practiced mid-range shooting from it.

"The learning talent of this little guy, Sun, 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 McCropp on the side said contemptuously: "Robert, when will you change your bad habit of making a fuss, I really have never seen the world."

Although he said so, McClop was still very shocked.

"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 Coach 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, the Wildcats will definitely be able to use it as long as they advance.

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

"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 the Wildcats were in the Sweet Sixteen, he couldn't calm down.

This Sweet Sixteen is very important to Griffin.

Not only do I want to lead the team to victory, but I also want to find the place for the warm-up match.

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

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

Moreover, he thought that the lucky guy had stepped on him to achieve his success today.

As a candidate for the No. [-] pick, Griffin naturally can't tolerate sand in his eyes and must avenge his shame.

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

After Griffin had a good rest, he continued to conduct confrontation training. He must maintain his best condition for the upcoming Sweet Sixteen.
