Many people did not expect that Harvard would beat Kansas State University, which is much higher than them in the national rankings, so easily, and what did not expect was that there was such a big gap between the two teams' trump cards.

Beasley scored 18 points and 12 rebounds under the strict defense of Plaine. Although he still scored a double-double of 18 points and 12 rebounds, he made 7 of 24 shots, less than 30% of his field goals and 5 turnovers proved that Plaine really gave The super-scorer, who averaged 26 points per game in the league, caused a lot of trouble.

In contrast, Jeremy Lin, who calmly faced the double-team tactics, scored 27 points, 11 assists, and 4 steals. Judging from his performance, he overwhelmed Beasley, the favorite of the No. 1 pick.

Such a game made many people think, is Harvard University, which came out of the Ivy League, really as weak as they imagined?

The media began to report on the game, and deeply analyzed the performance of Jeremy Lin and Plaine.

But at this time, Wang Xiao and Jack's attention was already on their opponents in the next match.

Winning the first round is just an appetizer. After entering the top 32, Harvard's opponent in the next round is much stronger than Kansas State University.

Davidson College, NCAA No. 10 seed.

The star of the team is a sophomore.

But Wang Xiao didn't dare to neglect in the slightest.

Because the player's name is Stephen Curry.

Curry's name will be well-known in the future. He almost changed the style of the entire NBA by himself, making three-pointers a regular weapon in the game, and led the Warriors to a record of 73 wins and 9 losses in the regular season. Break the league's best record maintained by the Bulls!

At that time, Curry was synonymous with three-pointers. When any team faced Curry, they would strictly defend him and dare not give any open three-pointers a chance.

It's just that the super three-point shooter in the future is not taken seriously in the NCAA.

Scouts generally believe that Curry's thin body is difficult to adapt to the fierce confrontation in the NBA, and in 2008, three-pointers were still not the mainstream scoring method in the league.

So even though Curry averaged 25.9 points per game in the league and had a 43.9% three-point shooting percentage, he was still not valued by scouts.

Only Wang Xiao, the traveler, understood how terrifying this thin kid was.

In the first round of the tournament, Curry scored 40 points, made 14 of 23 shots and 8 of 11 three-pointers, leading Davidson College to victory over Gonzaga University, which is ranked seventh in the United States.

This team is definitely much stronger than Kansas State University!

Holding Curry's detailed information in his hand, Wang Xiao pointed to Curry's photo and said to Jeremy Lin.

"Shu Hao, you have to remember that this guy will be one of your biggest opponents in the NBA."

Jeremy Lin was stunned.

He heard that from the coach.

The first time was when studying Derrick Rose's game tape, and the second time was when watching Russell Westbrook's game tape.

This was the third time, but it was the most serious time Jeremy Lin had seen Wang Xiao.

Obviously, Curry is far more important in the coach's heart than Rose and Westbrook.

How can this be?

Looking at the childish boy in the photo with some surprise, Rose and Westbrook are both popular candidates for the No. Well-known point guards such as Chalmers and North Carolina's Ty Lawson are famous.

But Jeremy Lin is very clear that the coach's vision is unique. He can take a fancy to himself who is not favored by everyone, and he can also train Plain to become a current defensive champion. Let's look at the rookie Kevin in the NBA who he has taken a fancy to. From Durant's performance, you can tell that Wang Xiao's vision is correct.

So since Wang Xiao believes that Curry will become one of his biggest opponents, Jeremy Lin will not neglect.

To be honest, it wasn't just Curry who was surprised, but Jack as well.

From a coach's point of view, Jack couldn't see Curry's amazing potential.

This kid's scoring ability is indeed good, especially the amazing three-point accuracy.

But just this alone is not enough to make Wang Xiao pay so much attention to it.

He almost broke down Curry's shooting action into multiple sections, and explained to Jeremy Lin one by one, telling Jeremy Lin how to defend Curry so that he could miss his shot.

Even if it is the top pick, Kansas State University's ace Beasley, Jack has never seen Wang Xiao like this.

When Wang Xiao and others studied the technical characteristics of the opponents in the next round, Harvard University and even the entire Ivy League were already boiling.

Top 32! The top 32 of the NCAA!

Not to mention Harvard University, even if you look at the 8 teams in the entire Ivy League, they have never reached the top 32 feats!

Pat is going crazy!

He never dreamed that a naive bet with Wang Xiao half a year ago would actually come true!

NCAA32 strong! Unknowingly, he got it under Wang Xiao's leadership!

At this moment, Pat felt that his original decision was really too wise, this is definitely a bargain that exploded!

What made Pat's heart beat violently was that, looking at Wang Xiao's appearance, it seemed that he was not satisfied with being in the top 32! I even want to continue to reach the top 16, top 8, top 4 and even the championship!

Although it seems too unbelievable, have there been few unbelievable things in the past six months?

just in case! Just in case!

If Wang Xiao can really lead Harvard to the NCAA championship...

Pat just thought about it for a moment, and he was so excited that he couldn't even sit down in his seat.

This will definitely write a brilliant stroke on your resume!

Whenever people talk about the champion of Harvard, they will mention the miraculous head coach Wang Xiao, and at the same time, President Pat, who has a good eye for talent!

All kinds of sensations from outside could not affect Wang Xiao and his team members at all.

Because they are on the plane heading to the next stop at this time.

The reason why the NCAA tournament is called March Madness is because of its compact and crazy format.

In just one week, the top 64 in the country will decide the top 4 through a single knockout system, and then decide the championship in April!

The tight schedule made the time very tight. Wang Xiao and the others had no time to go back to Harvard to recuperate, so they could only rush to the next stop to adapt to the venue as soon as possible.

The tactical explanation for the opponent can only be carried out on the plane.

It was also fortunate that Jack had prepared all the information on the opponents he might encounter in advance, otherwise he would not be able to make it in time.

"guys."

Wang Xiao looked at his team members and said in a deep voice.

"Win the next game, and we can reach the top 16. I believe you can do it, and I believe we can go on, the top 16, the top 8... until the championship!"

"Remember, we have only one goal here, the champion!"
