Chapter 82 Next opponent, George Mason University
Defeating the St. Bonaventure Wolves, the Davidson College Wildcats ushered in a three-game winning streak in the regular season.

When they returned to Davidson College, they were immediately surrounded by a group of fans, as if they were soldiers welcoming their triumphant return. Evan, Andy and others were not bad, but Meng Yun and Patrick had never experienced this kind of battle and were surrounded by people , like a star, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, excited and nervous.

"Relax." Evan said with a smile: "We have only won three consecutive victories. When we win more later, reach the league championship game, and even reach the league finals, you will know that it is crazy. If we can Winning the conference championship, reaching the round of 64 tournament, the whole school will be cheering for us. At that time, we will be the heroes of Davidson College."

Meng Yun's whole body was shocked, his blood was boiling hot, and he couldn't help yearning for it.

After some excitement, the Wildcats got rid of the enthusiastic fans.

After a day's rest, the Wildcats resumed regular training the next day. However, when Meng Yun came to the arena, he found that there were some more people in the arena.

Patrick gave Meng Yun a hug, and said in a low voice, "That's someone from the school management, who came to express our condolences." He pointed at one of them, "That's the vice principal, Mr. James White."

Meng Yun looked at it and couldn't help being taken aback.

I saw that Mr. James White was talking to Mason Carr at this time, with a smile on his face and no airs at all. The two seemed very familiar, as if they were old friends.

Patrick smiled and said, "See? Coach Carl has a very strong background. Speaking of which, I didn't expect the vice principal to have such a good relationship with Coach Carl. I haven't heard of it before."

"Yes." Meng Yun nodded.

After the game against the University of Rhode Island, Phil Frederick and Spike Garcia were expelled and never appeared at Davidson again.

As for the background of Mason Carr, people are speculating. Some people say that he is a good friend with a powerful figure in the management; It is said that in order to invite Mason Carr, Davidson College made a promise that Mason Carr would have great power to decide the team's personnel appointments and dismissals.
However, none of these have been confirmed. Some people in the team dared to ask Mason Carr, but every time Mason Carr just laughed and said nothing, but seemed more and more mysterious.

Now it seems that the truth seems to be the first.

However, just because he has a good relationship with the vice principal and is a good friend, can he fire the two assistant coaches of the team with one sentence?Don't you need the consent of the principal?

Meng Yun felt that Coach Mason Carr's background must not be so simple. It may be true that he and the vice principal are friends, but I'm afraid it's just one side of it, and there are still some things that haven't been revealed yet.

"Less gossip and more focus on training." Meng Yun slapped Patrick on the back of the head and reprimanded him, "That's Coach Carl's private business. Why are you so curious?"

Meng Yun is a freshman, and he is relatively young in the team. He dare not bully others, but Patrick is an exception. This guy is also a freshman, and he is younger than Meng Yun.

Patrick rubbed the back of his head, and muttered unhappily: "Hmph, I don't believe you are not curious."

After a while, Mason Carr called everyone together, and the vice-principal James White gave a speech, encouraging everyone to work hard and strive for better results.

James White also made a promise that as long as everyone works hard to play well, he will give everyone the best benefits within the scope allowed by the rules.

The players applauded, but there was not much excitement.

NCAA players cannot get a salary, so the benefits they can enjoy are limited after all. Compared with the benefits they bring to the team and the school, they are seriously out of proportion.

However, this is a feature of ncaa. The value of the ncaa league exceeds tens of billions, but the players have no salary, because the money will be used as an education fund and distributed to ncaa institutions.

NCAA institutions are different from some institutions in China. The main educational funds of many NCAA institutions come from the society rather than the government, including extramural aid (including alumni donations), dividends from various sports events, etc.
Among them, the dividends of the ncaa men's basketball league are the most important.

Therefore, for ncaa schools, the stronger the ncaa team, the more favored and valued it is by the school, because it is related to the interests of the school itself.

The school trains players, the players bring benefits to the school, the school gets benefits, and can train players better, so as to get more benefits. This is a cycle, and it is also the root cause of ncaa players not getting new water. The so-called not getting paid is In keeping with the purity of college basketball, it's just a facade.

Of course, the reason why this system is recognized is that the benefits brought by the players are not only for the players, but other students in the school will also benefit. Since everyone benefits, only a few people oppose it.

When James White and others left, Mason Carr's expression became serious, and said: "We have won three consecutive victories, but the opponents in the three games are not particularly strong. But in the next game, we will usher in a strong opponent —George Mason University Patriots."

"George Mason University?" Meng Yun was stunned when he heard the words: "Our next opponent is George Mason University, Leo Cairns' team?"

George Mason University is also one of the Atlantic Ten League teams, and it is inevitable to meet the Wildcats, but Meng Yun did not expect to meet so soon.

Leo Cairns had invited him to go to George Mason University.

If Evan, Andy and others hadn't come at the Ice Storms stadium, if David Tester hadn't revealed the truth, if Mason Carr hadn't come, maybe Meng Yun would have been a member of George Mason University at this time.

"Meng Yun, Meng Yun." Patrick gave Meng Yun a hug, and whispered, "The coach is looking at you. What are you thinking?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Meng Yun came back to his senses, and listened carefully to Mason Carr's talk about the George Mason University Patriots. Thinking of Leo Keynes, he couldn't help but sigh. Encountered, "Jerry Babbitt is good, and Leo Keynes should be even stronger."

Suddenly, Meng Yun looked forward to it.

At the beginning, he felt that Leo Keynes was very strong, stronger than Jerry Babbitt, but Leo Keynes didn't make a move, so he had no way of knowing why.

"In a few days, we will have a match against George Mason, so we can know the strength of Leo Cairns. I just don't know, how is he compared to me?" Meng Yun thought to himself, his heart was excited, and a sense of fighting spirit rose up.

He suddenly felt that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing not to go to George Mason University, and it might be much more interesting to play against Leo Cairns as an opponent than as a teammate.
