I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 63 - Me, super fierce!

　　 March 15, 2002, after the Marquette University and Boston University game kicked off the March Madness.

　　 From the president to the common people, to the NBA, and Hollywood stars from all walks of life, all of them focused their attention on the March Madness game.

　　 I have to say that the United States is really crazy about March Madness.

　　 This attention is simply against the sky.

　　 Especially Marquette University, one of the two focus teams in this March Madness.

The heat on 　　 is incredible.

　　 The match between Marquette University and Boston University, because of its special ‘taste’, quickly became a target pursued by the United States.

　　 This game not only caused the twelve packs of wolves at Boston University, but even the head of the NBA Timberwolves, Kevin Garnett, was brought into flames.

　　 Of course, Garnett was already very hot, so this time it was Garnett’s “Wolf King Spirit”.

　　 For a time, the true meaning of the wolf king and the spirit of the wolf became the hottest vocabulary in the United States.

　　 “It turns out that Garnett’s thumping of his chest and his feet, crazy wolf howl have such a meaning, we didn’t know before, the reading comprehension ability is still too bad.”

“Yes, I used to think that Garnett was a purely disgusting person who thumped his chest and breathed out fragrance. It turned out to be understandable this way. It turns out that Wonder Boy defeated each setback under the guidance of the spirit of the Wolf King, and insisted on moving forward. Nate is too great, the spiritual mentor of the NBA!”

　　 Seeing that the public opinion in the United States is crazy about the true meaning of the wolf king and the spirit of the wolf.

　　 Seriously, Chen Xiao’s heart is still very happy.

　　 “Small, Garnett said that he doesn’t know what the true meaning of the wolf king is, and what the spirit of the wolf is, are you fooling people?”

　　 “Flicker? Nonsense! Can you know Wolf King better than me?”

　　 “I don’t understand better than you, and Garnett doesn’t understand better than you? Garnett said, he doesn’t know the messy things you said!”

　　 “……”

　　 What makes Chen Xiao a little bit regretful is that after Chen Xiao brought the spirit of the Wolf King into flames, the real Wolf King seemed to have a little bit of shame on him.

　　 However, Chen Xiao didn’t care much about this.

　　 “Garnett doesn’t know if he doesn’t know? It’s just that he is humble. No one in this world knows Garnett better than me!”

　　 “Garnet doesn’t understand Garnett without you?”

　　 “……”

　　 I can’t talk anymore!

　　 I have been co-authoring for a long time, and you all thought that the true meaning of the wolf king I promoted was a lie!

　　 However, looking at the reporter’s interview with Garnett in the newspaper, Chen Xiao still felt that his idol was too modest, too shy, and a little bit too introverted.

　　 In the game last night, I didn’t even scream and beat the iron while it was hot.

　　 This real wolf king is going to kill him as a promoter of the spirit of the wolf king!

　　 It’s just that, on the other side, a certain wolf king felt that he was going to be driven to death by Chen Xiao!

　　 After March Madness started, public opinion and focus in the United States have been on this.

　　 Chen Xiao and the spirit of the wolf king are just the biggest hot spots.

　　 Besides, there are many hot spots in March Madness.

For example, in the first round of the game, as the other of the two NCAA hotspots, Duke University defeated Winthrop 84 to 37 in the first round under the leadership of J. Williams. University.

　　 Winthrop University is not a strong team, and the strength is about the same as Boston University.

　　 However, no matter how weak it is, it is a team that can participate in the NCAA Championship National Tournament.

　　 Winthrop University is in his BigSouth League, which is also the league’s championship team.

　　 And this team’s defensive ranking is also in the top 50, and the offensive ranking is higher than Boston University.

　　 is such a team, it was beaten by Duke University by 10 points.

　　 This is too cruel.

　　 Chen Xiao and Marquette University watched this game. The process of the game was actually more brutal than the score.

　　 In this game, Jay Williams and Duke’s main players only played in the first half.

　　 At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams was 52-15.

　　Duke University’s lead is not doubled, it is tripled and 7 points more!

　　 For 20 minutes, Winthrop University only scored 15 points under the crazy defense of Duke University.

　　 In just 20 points, Jie Williams shot 64%, 60% of the three-pointers, and scored 20 points, 5 assists, and 5 steals.

　　 is so cruel!

　　 And more importantly, this game is not just that Jie Williams is fierce, but the other two Duke leaders, Boozer and Dunleavy Jr. are also fierce.

　　 The two also played only 20 minutes, Boozer’s data was 73% shooting and got 20 points and 6 rebounds.

　　 Dunleavy was 6 of 6 from the middle distance, plus 2 three-pointers. Like Chen Xiao, he scored 18 points with 100% shooting in the half.

　　 Marquette University and Duke University are looking forward to the first show of this March Madness in the United States.

　　 If Marquette University’s debut is the spirit of Chen Xiao, Garnett and the Wolf King, not only did Wade and Ron Howard not soar into the sky, they also had some decline in their ratings.

　　 So Duke University, the evaluation of all three players in this team has risen.

　　 Everyone is shocked by the offensive and defensive capabilities of the Duke Big Three and the top five.

　　Duke University played really well in this game, which is not a compliment.

　　 Even Marquette’s head coach Tom Crean thinks so.

　　 “It really is one of the strongest teams in history.”

　　 Even Wade, who has always been quite confident, frowned after watching this Duke game.

　　 “Je Williams is more suitable for NCAA games than me.”

　　 This is what Wade said himself.

　　 Moreover, Chen Xiao can also clearly feel that after watching this game at Duke University, the atmosphere of the team has become a bit dignified.

　　 “Small, don’t see it, Dwyane and Ron’s faces are blue. They have completely given up studying this season and focus on basketball. If they can’t enter the NBA this year, they will have no retreat.”

　　 After the team leader Cuddle Henry finished speaking, Chen Xiao nodded slightly.

　　 Xiaotai and Luo Ge gave up studying completely early.

　　 are all ready to take advantage of this draft craze to enter the NBA.

　　 If the performance in March Madness this year is not good, the draft will drop drastically.

　　 The more people expect you, the more disappointed you will be if you fail to meet your expectations.

　　 “Small, it seems you have to be ready to play for another year.”

　　 “……”

　　 Facing Henry’s serious and heartfelt words, Chen Xiao was silent.

　　 He does have plans to follow Wade and Ron Howard into the NBA recently.

　　If the draft situation is good, of course, the sooner you enter the NBA, the better.

　　 If this year’s draft situation is not good, Wade and Howard will have no retreat because they give up studying, and he has a retreat.

　　 Just, will Chen Xiao want this retreat?

　　 Without Wade and Ron Howard’s Marquette University, can it still support Chen Xiao’s pursuit?

　　 Will he be the same as Prince?

　　 In short, Duke University put a lot of pressure on Marquette University after its first appearance in March Madness.

　　 After the appearance of Marquette University and Duke University, the optimistic odds for Marquette University to win the championship plummeted. Converted into probability, there is less than 5%.

　　 Duke University’s probability of winning the championship is already over 90%, and the other 30 NCAA teams that have not been eliminated share the remaining 5%.

“In the face of such a strong Duke University, anyone will feel tremendous pressure, especially you, Chen. I have heard many people say that the reason Duke University is so cruel to Winthrop University is because Winslow University’s team name.”

　　 “The name of the Winthrop University team?”

　　 Chen Xiao was taken aback when he heard Steve Logan on the other side of the phone.

　　 If Chen Xiao remembers correctly, the full name of Winthrop University is ‘Winthrop Hawks’.

　　 Winthrop is the Eagles and Marquette is the Golden Eagles.

　　 This is very, very obvious, and the meaning of killing an eagle is very strong.

　　 It’s no wonder that the pressure on the teammates in the team is suddenly so great.

　　Duke University’s game is basically like saying: This dead eagle is your future!

　　 Chen Xiao’s position at Marquette University has always been very special.

　　 He enjoys the status of the team’s boss, everyone is letting him, whether it is teammates, fans or coaches, he is regarded as one of the three bosses of the team.

　　 But on the other side, whether it is coaches, fans or teammates, they are not willing to put pressure on Chen Xiao’s boss.

　　Because he is a beginner, he enjoys too many team rights without having to take on the responsibilities of the team.

　　 “I am too foul!”

　　 only enjoy the rights, but don’t have to bear the responsibility, this kind of thing, wherever it is placed, is very foul.

“but!”

　　 Chen Xiao is very grateful to everyone for protecting him.

but!

　　 “I don’t want to be the favorite of the protected team, Zhen Beast!”

　　 “Now, I also want to bear all the pressure for the team!”

　　 Although I am still a beginner who has not been fully enlightened.

　　 “Chen? Chen? Are you okay?”

　　 Did not hear Chen Xiao’s echo for a while, which made Steve Rogan a little worried.

　　 “Steve, congratulations on your promotion to the second round. You did a great job.”

　　 27 points and 8 assists led the team to win, of course it’s great.

　　 (ps: Steve Rogan’s historical data.)

　　 After congratulating Steve Rogan, Chen Xiao hung up.

　　 “Maybe, I need to share some knowledge about ‘Giant Panda’ from my teammates and National Science Popularization!”

　　 After Steve Rogan reminded him, Chen Xiao disliked his current position very much.

　　 The team protected him too well.

　　 And viewers across the United States increasingly think he is a ‘cute beast’.

　　 Is this all right?

　　 This is not good!

　　He needs a game to show his fangs!

　　 “Maybe such a game also determines my draft prospects.”

　　 NCAA viewers like funny and cute monsters.

　　 NBA teams will never like such a player.

　　 “I need to show my claws and fangs!”

　　 is not only for the team, but also for myself!

　　Whether it is for the team or for yourself, to defeat Duke University, you need strong strength.

　　 As for whether his strength is strong enough, Chen Xiao is actually not sure.

“Ding, congratulations to the host for participating in a D-level official game and winning. The reward is 50 points of basketball experience and 20 career points. Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 32 consecutive D-level games and rewarding 320 career points. “

“Ding, the host completed five consecutive mid-range shots for the first time in a D-level official game, and achieved the achievement’no bullets’, rewarded the host with a’Central Investment Experience Card (official competition)’, with a career value of 100 points. Wingspan is 1 cm.”

　　 This is after Chen Xiao’s last game with Boston University, the system notification interface was refreshed.

　　 Chen Xiao didn’t even think that he was protected by the coach for half of the game, and he actually made so many achievements.

　　 One game provided Chen Xiao with a career value of 940, three middle distance experience cards for official competitions, and one scoring experience card for official competitions. In addition, he had a height of 1 cm and a wingspan of 4 cm.

　　 After the end of the game against Boston University, Chen Xiao’s height and wingspan increased, especially the wingspan. The 2m05 wingspan has begun to approach Wade’s 2m10.

　　 In addition, after Chen Xiao’s professional level increased by 1, he gained a little precious professional points.

　　 It can be said that after the game against Boston University, Chen Xiao’s strength has increased slightly.

　　 “Can these advancements help the team beat Duke and prove themselves?”

　　 Chen Xiao hopes to help the team.

　　 also wants to tell the world that I, Chen Xiao, are also super fierce!

　　 After thinking a little bit, Chen Xiao is not sure whether such progress can change the fate of Marquette University.

　　 But the game against Boston University opened the door to a new century for Chen Xiao!

　　 “My current strength may not get those great achievements, but why not find another way?”

　　 “Not only scores, rebounds, steals, assists, and blocks are accomplished. Special records like 100% shooting and consecutive hits are also accomplished!”

　　 No matter what good achievement or bad achievement, as long as it is an achievement, it can make me stronger!

　　Because Marquette University and Duke University performed very well in the first round.

　　 Therefore, the audience in the United States has put their expectation on the second round of the two teams.

　　 Mellon Arena, Pittsburgh, March 17, 2002.

　　 Marquette University and the NCAA No. 1 giants game.

　　 Marquette University finally defeated the underperforming university this season with a score of 66 to 56.

　　 The result of this game was not so unexpected.

　　 Basically no one would think that the university would win before the game.

　　 What is surprising is the process of this game.

　　 Because of the game between Marquette University and Boston University, many people have seen some problems with Marquette University.

　　 The offensive flaws of Wade and Ron Howard have given many NCAA teams an opportunity to take advantage of.

　　 “Previous matches between other teams and Marquette University were prioritized by pinching Wade and Ron Howard and putting Wonderboy. In this game, the best defensive player went to pinch Wonderboy.”

　　 “I didn’t expect the effect of pinching Wonder Boy to be so good!”

　　 “Is Matt Barnes defensive or strategic?”

　　 “No matter what, the result is that Marquette University almost lost this game!”

　　 If it weren’t for the last big boss, Jason Capono, to soften his hands and keep hitting three-pointers, plus Wade’s shrinking defensive strength, Marquette University would really be a big upset in this game.

　　 “Am I right? Whether it’s Marquette University or Wonder Boy, it’s not worth mentioning!”

　　 In front of the TV, after Jie Williams finished speaking, the Duke players next to him kept nodding their heads.

　　 Because of this game Marquette University and that Wonder Boy are really miserable.

　　 Marquette University almost stumbled.

　　 And the magic boy is 4 of 24 in this game, hitting 20 times, which is a new level of iron!

　　 Mellon Arena.

　　 In this game, Matt Barnes, who defended against Chen Xiao, walked off the court in congratulations from his teammates and coach.

　　 “Matt, good job.”

　　 This game played so well defensively.

　　 Plus the coach is praising~www.wuxiax.com~ but Matt Barnes doesn’t have any smile on his face.

　　 Instead, he kept looking at Marquette 11 who was being comforted on the court with doubts and doubts.

　　 “Kedrick, do you think my defense is good too?”

　　 “Very good! Wonder Boy has fought 20 times in this game!”

　　 Yes, I made him strike the iron 20 times.

　　 But, did I really make him strike the iron?

　　 I am at least five centimeters taller than him. I can defend him from hitting 20 times, but I didn’t have any blocks in the whole game!

　　 Is this normal?

　　 Thinking of the end of the game, that Wonder Boy didn’t have a trace of frustration on his face, but he was surprised, and Matt Barnes clenched his fists tightly.

“enough!”

　　 He said enough at the end of the game.

　　 What is enough?

　　 That is not the frustrated tone of the loser, it is the excited tone of the winner!

　　 “Maybe, the truth we see is not the real truth.”

　　 “……”

　　Boss, are you preparing a full-time philosopher?

　　 The players next to Matt Barnes have question marks all over their heads.

　　 “Chen, it’s just a game that doesn’t feel good, don’t worry about it.”

　　 “I know that I am not only proficient in the spirit of the Wolf King, I am also proficient in the spirit of Mamba.”

　　 Chen Xiao smiled and finished speaking, a certain mamba’s body shuddered subconsciously in front of the TV.

“List……”
