I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 73: Chen, are you the devil? !

   April 1, 2002, Atlanta, Georgia Dome.

   As a Duke player who has now begun to be hailed as the strongest team in NCAA history, when he stepped into this arena, he felt the overwhelming blue atmosphere.

   The Georgia Dome, which can accommodate more than 70,000 spectators, was one of the main stadiums of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. At this moment, it has been occupied by Duke University fans.

   "What is a card face, this is a card face!"

   As the candidate team for the strongest Boss in NCAA history, the Duke University players who are warming up on the court are very satisfied and proud.

   They like the feeling of being surrounded by the whole world.

   Before this game started, they felt that the center of the world was far away from them.

   Now they feel the center of the world again, still on them!

   Although Marquette University is known as the Golden Eagle, the team's representative color is actually blue.

   and it’s bluer than the blue of the Duke Blue Devils.

However, in this game, Duke University is the home team. They wore blue. Marquette University could only give up their first home jersey of'Blue Phnom Penh' and instead put on the first home team of'Golden Blue Edge'. Two home jerseys.

   This jersey is actually rarely worn by Marquette University.

   Seriously, for Chen Xiao, he would rather wear the white away team jersey of the team than the golden blue jersey on him.

   "Xiaotai, do you think this jersey is too showy, too bright and dazzling?"

   Wade, who was shooting a three-pointer, glanced at Chen Xiao, a little speechless.

   It’s a bit brighter, and Sao is really a bit sullen. The problem is, we black people have no opinion. Are you a yellow person still having such big opinions?

   Can you imagine how dark a black man would appear when he wears such bright clothes?

   When the reporters on the sidelines took photos, the golden clothes were shining, and his handsome black face and confident cheeks were all covered by the golden light!

   Do you think we want to wear it?

   "Small thing, not only can we not lose in this game, we can't even lose in the battle. If we don't take out the clothes under the bottom of the box, we can't hold people down."

   Caudal Henry, the team leader, slammed to the sidelines after speaking.

   Chen Xiao looked at the audience on the sidelines, the audience was blue!

   is not the blue to black and purple blue of Marquette University, but the ocean blue, this is the blue belonging to Duke University.

   There are other colors in the stands. The gold is too bright, even if there are not so many people, it is also very conspicuous.

  If it is white...

   Chen Xiao shook his head.

   "We are so hot this season, I thought we had a lot of fans."

   Chen Xiao is a little regretful, he thinks he actually has some crazy temperament from Wade.

"There are definitely more people who follow us than Duke University. However, the tickets for the NCAA finals are so hard to buy and so expensive. Duke University has been the top NCAA giant for more than two decades, and the fan base is too big. In addition, Duke University is the defending champion. Duke University fans still want to witness the team’s success in defending."

   "There is one more thing you didn't say. Georgia, where Atlanta is located, is close to North Carolina and too far from Milwaukee."

   "Small, you're not afraid anymore, are you?"

"How can it be!"

   Dad, am I the kind of person who is afraid?

  I Chen Xiao, but the most fierce ‘fierce beast’ in history who is proficient in the spirit of the wolf king and the spirit of Mamba!

   is really not afraid of Chen Xiao.

  Envy, Chen Xiao is really envious.

   Look at the audience on the sidelines, especially the celebrity audience in the front row.

   Most of them support Duke University with the Duke University logo.

   It would be great if they supported us, surely it would be great, right?

   "Duke University is the NCAA No. 1 giant, right?"

   Chen Xiao asked curiously.

   When he played against the first giants, he didn't feel that way.

"The first giant is still too deep. In comparison, Duke University was actually a'traditional underdog' who was worse than Boston University before. It has not entered the national competition for 50 consecutive years. At the beginning, we When Marquette University won the championship, Duke University was just normal. Now, we at Marquette University can't even see the taillights of Duke University."

   "Coach K changed everything!"

   Coach K?

   Chen Xiao was quite curious about the white coach who was standing next to him, who looked very ‘refined’.

   As a beginner, Chen Xiao has a celebrity plot.

   He was very curious about this coach who even respects Marquette University players.

   Suddenly by Chen Xiao, ‘I’m very curious! Staring with his big sparkling eyes, Coach K, after a moment of surprise, smiled at Chen Xiao politely and gracefully.

   "Is this the funny eyes that Mr. John said?"

   is really interesting!

   He had never seen such bright and dark eyes.

  Eyes are the windows of the soul, this sentence is very suitable in front of these eyes.

   After Coach K arrived, Duke was one of the most successful NCAA teams in the last 20 years. The momentum they accumulated was really scary. Before the game started, they had already overwhelmingly attacked Marquette University.

   This hasn't started yet. The Duke University fans on the sidelines are celebrating as if they were celebrating the championship.

   "The pressure on the Marquette players in this game will be great. When I was 19, I would be stage fright in such a situation."

   Kobe is wearing a handsome suit with a shaggy beard and a small explosive head. This outfit is quite cyberpunk. It feels like he just won a duel with someone with a revolver in his suit.

   On the contrary, it was Kevin Garnett next to him. His face was neat and elegant, and his smile was elegant. In addition, the silver suit he was wearing was very good-fitting, which gave people a very personable feeling.

   is indeed one of the most popular insiders in the NBA.

   This image is really not blowing.

   Don’t play, with Garnett’s looks and temperament, as long as he doesn’t speak up, he is definitely the best coach in the history of NBA insiders.

   As the second boss of the Lakers, it’s weird that I was not with my teammates when I was watching the game this time, but I was actually with Garnett.

   But it’s not surprising.

   Kobe and Garnett have a very good relationship.

   Otherwise, Kobe’s personality would never say “I’ll be stage fright at the age of 19”.

   Because he was really stage fright when he was 19, and Garnett knew it.

In the NBA All-Star Game 4 years ago, Kobe, who made his first All-Star debut at that time, was still a little brother in the NBA. However, during the period before the All-Star, Kobe's performance was very explosive, and the media frantically touted Kobe and Jordan. Duel.

  You, a little brother who played the All-Star for the first time, are also qualified to represent the West against Jordan?

   Where do you put the faces of O'Neill, Malone, and David Robinson?

   Kobe’s character, everyone knows how it is possible to say that "our team has a lot of bosses, and Jordan’s opponent is not me, it’s them".

   The final result, of course, was that Kobe was isolated by all the bigwigs in the West.

   is not only isolated, but also completely ignoring Kobe, no one talks to Kobe.

   Kobe is a self-confident teenager. The cold and violent Western tycoons against him even made him lose confidence. He feels that he is really unworthy of the All-Stars and almost doubts his life.

   It can be seen how severe the cold violence of those big guys was, and how much harm it did to Kobe at the time.

   At this time, I have to say that fat man.

   This is a great opportunity. If this opportunity is handled well, the Lakers still have a fart infighting, and they can't be true brothers and sisters to rule the world.

   When Kobe needs to be rescued, Garnett is the last one to stand up...

   Garnett stood up when Kobe was most helpless and confused.

   Garnett put his arm around Kobe's shoulder and said: "Young man, stay with me, run with me, rest assured, I will pass the ball to you."

   Kobe's first All-Star Game, when his teammates gradually lost his belief, he encountered media hype and a duel with Jordan. It is hard to say that it is not stage fright in such an environment.

   Fortunately, Garnett finally helped him out. In the first half of the first quarter, Kobe received a second pass from Garnett to complete a dunk. At that time, he even felt that it was one of the happiest moments in his life.

   "At that moment, it was like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon!"

   (Ps: Not what the fisherman said, but Kobe said it himself. If you are interested, you can take a look at this dunk. Kobe's waist is bent into a bow, and he can't wait to smash the basket with both hands.)

   So, Kobe and Garnett may not have that many friends in the NBA, but each other's friends list has each other.

   It is a wonderful thing that two people who are not very good at making friends can become friends in the end.

  Getting back to the subject, Kobe is a little worried that the scene environment of this game is unfavorable for Chen Xiao and Marquette University.

   Garnett also has this concern.

Just say that when the two teams played just now, Duke University was greeted with full cheers, and Marquette University was greeted with a lot of mocking'laughing' voices, accompanied by shouts. It's a kind of "jean beast" or "idiot".

   To be reasonable, Chen Xiao's current game environment is much worse than Kobe's original.

   At the very least, Kobe is not a beginner.

   "Judging from his CIC training, his mood is fairly stable."

   Chen Xiao on the court did not seem to be affected by the audience, which made Garnett a little relieved.

   On the court, Chen Xiao was indeed not influenced by the audience.

   Duke University is very strong, Duke University fans Blue Devils are very manic, but Chen Xiao is very curious now, very curious!

   "I'm curious!" His eyes looked extraordinarily bright tonight.

  Because Chen Xiao is also not sure how powerful his 90th CIC, the outstanding CIC, is in the NCAA!

   In the open shot of the training field, there is no way to verify how much better the 90's mid-range shot is than the 89's.

   "After all, it's a big improvement, it should be a lot stronger!"

   Chen Xiao is looking forward to it and thinking very curiously.

   The warm-up of the two teams ended. The head coaches of the two teams finished the final tactics. The starting players of the two teams stood on the court under the leadership of the bosses of the two teams.

   The battle between Marquette University and Duke University is about to start.

   Neither Marquette University nor Duke University changed their starters in this game.

   The starting combination of Braxon, Wade, Ron Howard, Chen Xiao, Dina, and Marquette University’s "Three Eagles and Two Claws" is very stable.

   Boozer, Dengleavy Jr., Deng Tai Jones, Jie Williams, Chris Duhon’s combination of "Five Great" is also very stable.

   Watching the starting lineups of the two teams stand on the court, the scouts and NBA bigwigs on the sidelines are all attentively.

   No way, the 10 players on the court are all players on the scout's notebook.

   Up to now in the NCAA, Marquette's five starters have all been on the scout book.

   At the same time, the five, like the Duke Five, have also been in the eyes of the NBA bigwigs.

   Not to mention the Duke Five, just say the five starters of Marquette University, everyone is very unique.

   Chen Xiao and Wade and Ron Howard are not to mention, Dina and Braxon are also very interesting players.

As a white man, Dina’s explosive power and speed may not be so outstanding, with average breakthrough ability and average lethality, but Chen Xiao’s improved ball handling is extremely secure, coupled with white man’s ball quotient and passing advantages, matched with him. The defense improved by Chen Xiao is no longer considered a weakness, coupled with an excellent three-pointer and an above-average mid-range shot...

   Dina feels like a perfect ‘dribble guard’ template with no autonomous offensive ability. In fact, his template is indeed ‘Fisher’.

   Not to mention the first round, at the very least, Dina's draft prospects are very optimistic. There must be an NBA team willing to ask for such a player.

   Compared to Diner, Braxon's draft prospects are much worse.

   Anything is good, four is too short and three is too slow, which is really not popular in the current NBA.

   But in terms of characteristics, Braxon is more distinctive than Dina, and there are few players like Braxon in the NBA.

   "This game is likely to have a huge impact on the pattern of this year's NBA Draft!"

   "These ten people on the court are all likely to enter the first round of this year's draft!"

   Although Chen Xiao did not announce their participation in the draft, it is no secret that Wade and Ron Howard have given up on studying this matter a long time ago.

   In the eyes of many people, after Wade and Ron Howard left, Chen Xiao and the others had no reason to stay.

   The five people from Marquette University are likely to all participate in the draft this year, and Duke's situation is similar.

  In the middle circle, the players who jumped the ball in this game were Boozer and Braxon.

   Boozer is 5 cm taller than Braxon, but compared to his weak bounce and speed, the 5 cm height advantage is really negligible.

   Snap!

   In the booing of the fans, Braxon defeated Boozer to win the first offensive opportunity for Marquette University.

   "If Boozer misses the ball a few times, I think his draft pick may be able to go forward."

  Many scouts are talking about Boozer’s problem on the sidelines. Boozer has no problem with either the technique or the player, but this physical talent...

   "It's just an inside version of the magic kid!"

  The scouts on the sidelines are discussing the players on the court, and the players on the court are attentively playing the game.

   The two teams faced each other for the first time this season. It seemed unfamiliar. In fact, both teams are very familiar with each other's offense and defense.

  Duke University players are not that tall, so the defense of this team is also very aggressive.

   The three players on the team averaged more than 2.5 steals per game. Just look at this data.

   Chris Duhon posted it while Dina was dribbling in the backcourt.

   And the other four Duke players were all scattered when Chris Duhon posted on Marquette University!

   "The audience is pressing!"

   "This is Duke University's full-court press against the league's invincible players!"

   "Get off, Duke University is giving Marquette University off!"

   Duke University’s full court press, Chen Xiao certainly knew.

   Researched in the tactics class of Marquette University.

   However, during the previous research, they were all seen on the video. It was the first time that Chen Xiao saw the live full-court press tactics.

   How can any team dared to press Marquette in the court before, did the old birthday star hang himself?

   "The pressure is really great."

   Although Chen Xiao was surprised by this tactic, he was more curious.

   On the contrary, the CCTV reporter and the Chinese basketball team in the stands were trembling a little at this time.

   All-court press, this term has some flavor that has made the Chinese basketball community frightened recently.

   Duke University’s full-court press is very famous, but at the beginning of the game, it directly pressed Marquette University to the full-court press. Seriously.

   This kind of looks down upon people.

   How can two teams of similar strength compete in the game from the start?

   "Duke University is very arrogant, some despise Marquette University."

"Arrogance is arrogance, but Chris Duhon's actions are very quick and cautious. He is one of the few NCAA defenders who have reached the NBA level in defense. Although Dina's possession is very good, he needs to find With the opportunity to pass the ball, other Marquette players will have to respond even if they are interrupted by the team’s offensive rhythm..."

   A scout on the sidelines just finished speaking, and the sudden scene on the court caused the audience to exclaim!

   "Travis Dina didn't call a screen and broke Chris Duhon's full press one-on-one!"

   not only broke Chris Duhon's full press one-on-one, but also very quickly!

   Not to mention the spectators and scouts on the sidelines, even the Duke players on the court and Coach K on the sidelines were surprised.

   "Dina's ability to handle the ball has reached the level of an NBA ordinary dribble guard?!"

   Dina unexpectedly broke through Chris Duhon's pressing, and a hole appeared in his perfect pocket.

   The audience was forced to be breached, then the air leaked everywhere.

   Dina didn't look for Wade as usual after halftime, but went straight to the basket with the ball.

   "Very smart choice!"

  On the court, the Duke player who accidentally broke the hole can only make up, and then the empty space leaked directly.

   Yu Guang, who had been on Chen Xiao's body for a long time, faced Dina's defense, and pushed the ball very lightly to Chen Xiao's head.

   Dina disrupted Duke’s defense. Although Chen Xiao and his teammates did not pass the ball, the defenders in front of Chen Xiao never moved.

  Jie Williams!

   Jie Williams does not seem to be 1.9 meters tall, but he puts a lot of defensive pressure on Chen Xiao.

   It should be said that on the court, Chen Xiao is the first time he has encountered a player who puts him so much defensive pressure.

   "Boy, do you know why I didn't turn around to stop you from catching the ball?"

   "Because, I want you to see what an NBA-level defense is!"

   "I will use my NBA-level defense to smash your so-called NBA elite-level CIC!"

   NBA-level defense?

   Is this NBA-level defense?

   A defense with no offensive space!

  Sure enough, in the training ground, Luo Ge and Xiaotai just didn't go all out!

   I wonder if my 90 CIC can break the NBA-level defense?

   Facing the intimidation of Jie Williams, Chen Xiao's eyes became brighter.

   "Is this kid sick?!"

   Tucao returns to Tucao, and the movements of Jie Williams's hands have not stopped.

  Jie Williams' NBA-level defense is not bragging.

   Not only is the pressure strong and tight, but both hands are always ready for this gun.

   The instinct of Chen Xiao's body tells him that as long as he puts the ball down a little and adjusts it a little, the basketball in his hand will leave him.

   "If Wonder Boy shoots, I am afraid there is no room for adjustment!"

   "In the face of NBA-level defense and there is no room for adjustment, this ball is too difficult!"

   The ball is really difficult. Chen Xiao also made a lot of mid-range shots in the game.

   It's the first time to shoot this kind of action and I can't make a full shot.

   Lean back, jump, shoot!

  Jie Williams' defense is too tight, and Chen Xiao doesn't even have room to kick!

   "This shot of Wonder Boy was very awkward when I defended it. This shot will definitely hit the iron!"

   So ~www.NovelMTL.com~ After finishing the defense, Jie Williams was shouting ‘protect the rebound’!

   Hearing the yelling of Jie Williams, the Duke players quickly surrounded the basket, protected the penalty area, and blocked the Marquette University players.

   Boozer, Deng Tai Jones, Jr. Dunleavy are all ready to rebound.

   Even the audience at the scene is ready to shout for the victory of the defense.

   after a moment.

   There was a brush.

   The audience is silent!

   "Is this NBA-level defense?"

   "Sure enough!"

   "But..."

   Hearing the sound, Jie Williams, who turned his head mechanically, looked at Chen Xiao who was sitting on the ground with his eyes still shining...

but?

   "However, you may be too short, you just hit my wrist."

   For a while, Jie Williams felt a little tight in his chest.

   There is a feeling of being pierced by a thousand arrows.

   He was actually rejected for his height? !

   Even Ron Howard, who rushed over to help Chen Xiao, was shocked.

   Chen, are you the devil? !

   Such an innocent expression and tone can actually say such ‘vicious’ words for basketball players? !

   beep beep!

   The late whistle.

The referee next to    raised his right hand a little later.

   Two points are valid.

   hit, penalty!

   At this time, staring at Chen Xiao, Jie Williams, who has always been proud and arrogant, is already exuding the black air of "No one enters"...

   "Boy, you, it's over!"

   This game, I will ruin you!

  Ps: Seeking recommendation, seeking collection! ! !
