It's March again, and March has a lot of meaning for the NBA, like teams starting to sprint after the All-Star Game to get good results. For example, some stars want to find their status and prepare for the next playoffs. Of course, the most important thing for American basketball fans comes – Crazy March.
Once it's March, the NBA will have to obediently make way for the NCAA. Tomorrow is March 18, Beijing time, today the NBA has a total of as many as 12 games, tomorrow the NBA has only one game, is the 7 o'clock in the morning Beijing time Magic home game against the Pistons. Together, the two teams have won 36 games and have lost at least 50 games this season, long since missing the playoffs. It is estimated that no one is watching this mess war, and people's eyes are drawn away by the NCAA.
In fact, yesterday the NCAA has entered the initial final four battles and began to warm up for the next crazy March. Many fans are focusing on the crazy March, why is the NCAA knockout game so influential? We may wish to answer this question for you.
First, compared to the NBA, the NCAA is called the purest basketball. Since the NBA is a business league, there are a lot of commercial factors mixed in here, and the game is sometimes not pure. In fact, in the past two years, fans should feel that a lot of blowing penalties and whistles are not reasonable, some stars can get 10 free throw opportunities in a game, and some stars can not get more than the number of free throws no matter how they play. In the NCAA, this situation basically does not occur, the referee treats the players equally, as long as you play hard, there will be results, as long as you work hard, you can bring bonuses to the team.
Let's take an example of how, 43 years ago, in 1979, the NCAA gave birth to a game that will go down in history. At that time, the NCAA finals were played against Michigan State University and Indiana State University, and the core of the two teams was Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, whose historical status and influence are not repeated here. All we need to know is that social media wasn't as well developed, television was not as comprehensive as it is today, and the Finals was watched by 35.11 million viewers, with a horrific 24.1 percent rating. This record has not been broken to this day. At that time, the NBA had already produced a number of stars, and the influence of the finals was even less than that of the NCAA Finals. All we can say is that the NCAA is worthy of the purest game of basketball.
Second, the NCAA uses a single-game tiebreaker in the knockout rounds compared to the NBA, so the game uncertainty is higher. Every year in the crazy March we see some scenes where the small wins the big one. Many stars have also played with the help of the NCAA, and if they can win with a weak victory, their draft prospects will be better. Compared with the NBA's 7-4 win system, the uncertainty of the NCAA will attract more attention. In this venue, all kinds of legends can happen at any time, and even a humble role player can create miracles. For example, the 2008 draft winner Rose, although he did not win the final NCAA championship, he led the unpromissed parent team to defeat multiple strong opponents all the way, which was impressive. Curry's performance in Crazy March before entering the NBA was also perfect, beating many strong teams.
The third is the parent team plot. Many NBA stars have a soft spot for college games, and they love their alma mater and their alma team. At this time, many NBA stars are willing to support the parent team, and Jordan has come to the NCAA game to support his alma mater, North Carolina. The NBA also understands the ideas of the stars, and instead of letting them distract themselves from their home team on the court, it is better to reduce the number of games in March and let them go to the scene to cheer for the parent team. Every year in the NCAA Finals, the NBA suspends the day's games to make way for the NCAA.
The NCAA is so hot, but also for the NBA to provide a lot of talent, the Training System of American Basketball is perfect and excellent. Many college stars will get a lot of attention after the NCAA knockout game, which is still obvious room for improvement in mainland basketball. Take college basketball games, for example, college basketball games in the mainland have a certain influence, but they are not very big. In the future, more efforts can be made to let people watch in terms of broadcasting publicity, and it can also be used to send more talents to the CBA.
