I’m Really Playing Basketball

　　 November 17, 2001, Bradley Center, Milwaukee.

　　 After a month of truce, the NCAA 2001-2002 season kicked off.

　　 Marquette University will face the Horizon League powerhouse, Loyola University Chicago at home at Bradley Center today.

　　 This is an NCAA non-league game.

　　 The NCAA matches each year will be divided into three stages.

　　 The first stage is the non-league stage.

　　 The second stage, the league stage.

　　 The third stage, also known as March Madness, the NCAA National Championship.

　　The non-league stage is when two teams from different leagues make an appointment with each other to play a game, which is equivalent to a preseason official game.

　　 This game between Marquette University in the CUSA League and Loyola University in the Horizon League is just such a game.

　　 In the non-league stage of the NCAA, there is no championship. It does not seem to be important. It is just the nature of the friendly game, but it is not.

　　Because the NCAA is too big, a major league has 31 minor leagues. Which of the 31 leagues is stronger?

　　 The second phase of the NCAA league is a civil war in each league and does not involve cross- league games.

　　 So the question is, how to determine which alliance is stronger?

　　 This question is very important.

　　 Because this involves the final third stage, the National Championship is also the allocation of places for the participating teams in March Madness.

　　, not the league stage, is an important basis for the NCAA leagues to compete which league is stronger.

　　Like the most famous NCAA league, the league, why does the league have at least four teams invited to the NCAA National Championship every year?

　　 There are 31 first-level leagues in the United States, and the number of places to participate in the national championship is about 64. Logically speaking, there are 2 evenly scored in a league.

　　 But the league has four or even five all year round.

why is it like this?

　　 Of course, the Alliance team battle is great!

　　, not a league match, it's a team battle!

　　 Each NCAA league sends its own team out to fight against teams with similar strengths in other leagues.

　　 King vs. King, handsome vs. handsome, general vs. general, and soldier vs. soldier.

　　 In this case, the overall powerful alliance is simply invincible in team battles.

　　So that last season, six teams in the league were invited to participate in the NCAA National Championship.

　　 Loyola University is in the league, but a team from Butler University participated in the national championship last season.

　　 Marquette University’s league had two teams participating in the NCAA National Championship last season, which is still average.

　　 So, don't look at the NCAA non-league stage without a championship, but every team even pays more attention to it than playing a championship league.

　　 After the non-league stage of each year is played, the quota for each league to participate in the national championship is basically determined.

　　 Some leagues have four, five, or even six places.

　　 There is only one left in some leagues.

　　 If you don't play well in the non-league stage, you will have a place in your league. If you want to enter the national championship, you can only win the league championship.

　　 If you play well in the non-league stage and win a few more places for your league, it will be much less difficult for your team to enter the national competition.

　　 Therefore, there are three stages of the NCAA competition each year.

　　 The first stage is to determine the strength of the 31 leagues across the United States, and to allocate the places for each league to participate in the national championship.

　　 In the second stage, each team within the league competes for the allocated spots.

　　 The third stage is the real national competition.

　　The three stages of the competition are of course the most important in the third stage, but it is really hard to say which is more important in the first stage or the second stage.

(PS: This paragraph is not the number of words in the water. There are so many basketball essays from the starting point. No one should have described the purpose and nature of the NCAA three-stage competition. The fisherman does not know if he is the first one, but everyone should not read much elsewhere. The NCAA rules are very complicated. The fisherman's paragraph is only a simple description, it is already very simple, and these are not things that Baidu or search engines can know, and many students should know it for the first time.)

The match between 　　 and Loyola University was the first official match that Chen Xiao participated in.

　　Although he has participated in the NCAA game in Alaska before.

　　 But compared with the kind of challenge competition that Alaska participates in, the formal NCAA game feels completely different.

　　 At the very least, the number of fans on the sidelines and the enthusiasm of the fans are not at the same level.

　　 Chen Xiao, who is now standing in the Bradley Center, felt that his entire scalp was numb under the cheers of the Marquette University fans.

　　 These are tens of thousands of fans!

　　 "Dwyane, this game continues to blast David Bailey like Kevin Torbert!"

　　 "Come on, Wonder Boy, this game is going to be a lore!"

　　 As a beginner, Chen Xiao felt that, in the face of such a situation, his scalp was only numb, and his legs were not weak. It was already pretty good.

　　 Especially, in this game, he and Wade were still the center of cheers for tens of thousands of fans. .

　　 Chen Xiao felt that he could keep his legs without trembling, and he could keep the polite and awkward smile on his face.

　　 "Chen, you laugh so ugly, haha."

　　 Xiaotai, you shut up!

　　 Didn't you see your brother sweating fortunately in order to maintain this polite and awkward smile?

　　 If you let me walk now, I think I will turn around.

　　In other words, when I walked out just now, wouldn’t it be Shun Kuai?

　　 Really like this, it would be shameful.

　　 The more Chen Xiao thought about it, the more he felt liver tremor.

　　 Look at Wade next to him as if he is enjoying this kind of cheering and heat.

　　Look at the other side, Ron Howard, with a very luxurious headset on his head, with a breath of money.

　　 Compared with Wade and Ron Howard, Chen Xiao once again felt the reality of being an ordinary person.

　　He didn't have Wade's people to come crazy.

　　 There is no Ron Howard’s ‘dora’ either.

　　 "Chen, don't be nervous, take your time to feel the atmosphere of NCAA, adapt to the atmosphere here, you don't have to worry about the NBA."

　　 "I see, thank you coach."

　　 Chen Xiao gritted his teeth hard and moved his legs away.

　　 Well, it's not Shun Kuai!

　　 However, Chen Xiao, who learned how to say hello to other players and fans, still feels a little awkward all over her body now.

　　 This game against Arroyo University is the first game of the new season at Marquette University. The interaction between players and fans is very enthusiastic.

　　 Old players like Henry have long been accustomed to such interactions.

　　 And newcomers like Wade and Dina seem to be very skilled.

　　 Wade is crazy, and Dina is the first Wisconsin genius that has been highly anticipated.

　　 Perhaps the official players of Marquette University are Chen Xiao and Ron Howard the most restrained.

　　 Because both of them are first brothers.

　　 Chen Xiao is really early, too early.

　　 And Ron Howard...he never played in high school league in high school.

　　The team they formed in high school was sunk by Jay Williams just after the flight.

　　 However, compared with the embarrassment of smiling Chen Xiao, who felt that he didn't know how to put his hands, Ron Howard looked much cooler, just like a cold-faced prince.

　　Luo Ge is still very skilled in pretending this kind of facial paralysis and cold-faced strange.

　　 However, whether the Marquette University players are proficient or jerky, the Marquette University fans at the scene like it.

　　 "Wonder kid is a beginner, so jerky!"

　　 "And this is also very interesting, hahahaha!"

　　 Even Chen Xiao's jerkyness gave them an alternative enjoyment, which made the atmosphere of the scene even more cheerful.

　　 Just as the players of Marquette University interacted closely with the fans in their first game of the season, the players of Loyola University as the visiting team were pointing to the players of Marquette University not far away.

　　 Especially the one standing in the middle of Loyola University may not seem to be 1.75 meters tall and wearing a red dress, size 12.

　　 Since the No. 12 of Loyola University came out, his eyes have been fixed on Chen Xiao, who is now somewhat at a loss.

　　 "David, he is the wonder boy, this game you help you to hit the stepping stone of the NBA!"

　　NBA?

　　 Hearing this from his teammates, David Bailey's eyes when looking at Chen Xiao became a lot hotter.

　　 He wants to let more people know him, he wants to enter the field of vision of NBA scouts.

　　 No team is more suitable than Marquette.

　　 Marquette University has three high-volume players that NBA scouts follow.

　　It can be said that every game of Marquette University, on the sidelines and in front of the TV, is indispensable for NBA scouts and coaches.

　　 As long as this game, he can step on these three Marquette University to play a super beautiful game, he may be noticed!

　　 Wade and Ron Howard are very strong, he is not a fool, they must be difficult to fight.

　　 But Chen Xiao is different.

　　 Teammates said Chen Xiao was his stepping stone, and there was no problem at all.

　　 This beginner is his blood pack!

　　 However, although I think so, David Bailey will not underestimate the enemy.

　　 This game is too important!

　　 For Loyola University, who is destined not to enter the NCAA National Championship, this game is his most important game this season.

　　 Maybe after this game, Loyola's remaining games will not have the attention of NBA scouts.

　　He must be cautious, this is the only chance in his life!

　　 Therefore, in the warm-up before the game between the two teams, David Bailey's eyes were always on Chen Xiao.

　　 He wants to use his eyes to observe everything about Chen Xiao.

　　After observing, David Bailey was very satisfied.

　　 "Sure enough, I am a beginner!"

　　 "At 1.88 meters tall, he can't even dunk!"

　　 Every action Chen Xiao does on the court now is so jerky in his opinion.

　　Perhaps the only thing that seems proficient is his free throws. He still looks a bit like shooting from the free throw line.

　　 But, will he give Chen Xiao a free throw in this game?

of course not!

　　 The key now is to get the chance to confront Chen Xiao!

　　 Because this beginner is likely not to start.

　　 If the playing time of this foot-scraping beginner who is as rumored is not the same as his playing time, everything is meaningless.

　　 "David, I hope you can play the whole game in this game."

　　 The warm-up of the two teams ended.

　　 Looking at David Bailey, who was a little restless, Loyola University coach Larry Farmer patted the head of the team gently on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"coach?"

　　 "Get your own destiny."

　　 "I see, thank you."

　　 David Bailey nodded heavily.

　　 firmly took the teammates behind him onto the court.

　　 Looking at David Bailey's back, the gentle smile on Larry Farmer's face slowly became bitter.

　　 At the age of 30, he became the head coach of the No. 1 NCAA club. Now at the age of 50, he coaches here.

　　 There is really only one chance in life sometimes. If you miss it, you will never have it again.

　　 "Take out everything you can, and don't let me down."

　　 After warm-up training, Chen Xiao sat back on the bench with the team's other substitute players.

　　 "Small, just watch our performance below. Although your talent is high, this season, let me be a substitute."

　　 Facing the team's eldest brother Caudell Henry's joke, Chen Xiao didn't care at all.

　　 "I'm willing to be a substitute, but you must not give me the opportunity to be a substitute."

　　 cares, Chen Xiao doesn't care at all, but he still wants to reply, he Chen, when did he suffer a loss?

　　 This kid!

　　 Calder-Henry looked at the grimace on Chen Xiao's face and shook his head with a smile.

　　 "You kid, just let me sit on the bench for a season!"

　　 The starters for Marquette in this game were Scott Merritt, Ennamaka, Wade, Ron Howard and Henry.

　　 This is a regular starter for Marquette University.

　　 Chen Xiao really didn't care about the fact that he was not selected as a starter in this game.

　　His CIC is now good, and his burst is good, but the overall strength is indeed not as good as Henry, and this is the team's first game. Coach Klien values ​​him again and needs a victory to start.

　　 So, he is a normal substitute in this game.

　　 He has nothing to care about either.

　　 Look at Odatyi Brankson next to him. He is stronger than Ennamarca, but he still sits on the bench like him.

　　 This unlucky boy has a black face.

　　 is still too shy and bored.

　　 Chen Xiao felt that if he had also learnt Ennamaka's way of thumping his chest from time to time, his voice might be different.

　　 Chen Xiao always feels that American basketball coaches seem to like players doing such moves.

　　 He is also watching NBA games and studying recently.

　　 I hope that one day he can be as aggressive as Garnett.

　　 Hmm, Chen Xiao, who loves brain supplements, thinks too much.

　　 Back to the game.

　　 After the game started, Marquette's starting center Scott Merritt lost to Loyola University center Silvier Turkovic on a jump ball.

　　 The two are the same height and seem to have similar physical fitness, but Turkovic’s technique is much better than Merritt.

　　 This can be seen from Turkovic’s name, where is his origin.

　　 Proper technology flow.

　　 Merritt, who corresponds to Turkovic, Chen Xiao really doesn't know what genre his teammate is.

　　Body flow?

　　 is not like.

　　Technology flow?

　　 is not like it either.

　　 Talent flow?

　　 Chen Xiao also didn't see any brilliant talent in the top 100 geniuses of the United States.

　　 To put it simply, Merritt is a very ordinary center.

　　 has everything, but nothing stands out.

　　 But such a D-player can firmly occupy the team's starting center position.

　　 Compared with the team's talented guard and striker, the team's inside line is really miserable.

Back to the game again, Loyola made his first offense after a successful jump ball. Loyola University’s head guard David Bailey used his teammate’s pick-and-roll screen to throw off Ron Howard and suddenly shot from beyond the three-point line. succeed.

　　 3 to 0!

　　 Loyola University in the away game gave Marquette University a smashing win.

　　 "This pick and roll is really good!"

　　 "This pair of screens, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is really hard!"

　　 "These three-pointers are really decisive!"

　　 Chen Xiao on the bench was amazed and couldn't help but also praised Loyola University's offense in his heart.

　　 Loyola University is really a very interesting team.

　　 Except for their core point guard David Bailey who looks less than 1.75 meters, the other starting players are very high.

Center Turkovic, 2.08 meters, other players like power forwards, Corey Minnefield is 2.03 meters, small forwards, Jonathan Freeman is 2.01 meters, and another player Ron- Brankson is 1.98 meters.

　　 This height, in the NCAA, the proper one is the Giants.

　　 One short and four tall, one fast and four strong, looks very dissonant, but feels very fit.

　　 "This team really has something to do with it!"

　　 Chen Xiao felt that his judgment was correct.

　　Because after the start of the game, before the game was optimistic, Wade and Ron Howard led the Marquette University really fell into a hard fight!

　　 It should be said that Marquette University was beaten by Loyola University at the beginning!

　　Ps: Seeking recommendation, seeking collection, seeking quality triple!

ps: This book is a novel with the most information about the fisherman. 90% of the information on the characters in the book are things that Baidu Baike or other search engines do not have. Although this is likely to be thankless, there are few fishermen to compare. It’s cool to be good at brainless face slap chapters, but since this book wants to write something different, there must be something really different. Fisherman’s book hopes to really write the life of a player , Chen Xiao's life.
