I’m Really Playing Basketball
Chapter 47: The picturesque beauty of longing reflected in reality!
On January 2, at the Bradley Center Arena, Dina, Chen Xiao, Wade, Ron Howard, Bradson, five new starters from Marquette University, amidst the cheers of the fans, walked on the pitch.
The game was the opener of the C-USA league, and the Milwaukee fans at the scene were very excited.
In fact, not only the fans, but the CBS commentary on the sidelines was also very excited.
In this game, Marquette University suddenly took the team's two starting insiders and replaced them with a guard and an all-around forward. To be honest, it really shocked everyone.
With the current popularity of Marquette University, many people know the foundation of Tom Klein.
This head coach, who has been scolded by Marquette University fans for not having enough "Golden Eagle Spirit", has always been an outside offensive player, not the traditional inside defensive player of Marquette University.
"Stop pretending, after achieving good results at Marquette University this season, Tom Kline finally has a showdown!"
To be reasonable, apart from the commentary and the media on the sidelines of Marquette University's starting game, they are really excited and excited.
The Bucks fans at the scene were more or less uneasy.
The University of Cincinnati is not an ordinary NCAA team, not a team that can be dealt with casually.
This team has undoubtedly been the strongest team in the C-USA League for the past ten years.
Under the leadership of Bob Huggins, the current University of Cincinnati does not have the strength and courage to sweep the NCAA under the leadership of Ed Zucker.
But the University of Cincinnati has always been the "constant winner" in the three-acre land of the C-USA league.
Last year's C-USA champion was Cincinnati.
And Cincinnati's lineup this year hasn't changed much from last year.
Among the Cincinnati troika that swept the C-USA league last year, the boss Steve Logan and the youngest Leonard Stokes are still there, and the most talented second brother Kenny Satterfield will participate The NBA draft came, and the 25th pick in the second round was picked up by the Nuggets.
The troika of guards has become a duo of guards this season, and their strength on the outside has indeed declined.
But at the same time, this season, the University of Cincinnati also added inside super talent Jason Maxhill.
So the overall strength may be stronger and more balanced.
A team of three guards is indeed pleasing to the eye, but the three guards are not so good in defense. In a team, there is a little bit of imbalance.
Therefore, this season, the University of Cincinnati will have a record of 12 wins and 1 loss in the first stage.
This record is already quite domineering.
Especially the boss of this team, Steve Logan, although he is only a 1.83 meter guard, his speed is not that fast, and his jumping is not that good, but his skills are almost perfect.
This 1.83-meter guard weighs 90 kilograms. Not only can he shoot three-pointers outside, but he can also sit behind the opponent's guard and play back shots. On the court, as long as it is an offensive technique, there is nothing he can't do.
Known as the "Pierce" of the NCAA point guard position.
No, Logan's dominance in the NCAA is much stronger than Pierce's dominance in the NBA.
Marquette University's starting lineup today has a big change.
As for the University of Cincinnati, the starting lineup for this game also changed.
Jason Maxhill, who had been playing the sixth man before, was put on the starting lineup.
Center, 6'11 senior center Donald Little, PF, freshman Jason Maxhill, SF, 6'94 swingman Emmanuel Michael Roy from Europe , Defender, Cincinnati's two bosses, Steve Logan at 1.83 meters and Leonard Stokes at 1.98 meters.
According to Tom Crean's previous arrangement, Blakeson will be the center forward in this game, Wade and Ron Howard will become the strikers, and Chen Xiao and Diana will play guards.
Therefore, Chen Xiao's opponent in this game is likely to be Steve Logan, the current number one player in the C-USA league.
Chen Xiao had already heard about this number one member of the C-USA alliance.
According to Wade.
"Although he is not tall, he doesn't run fast, and he doesn't jump high, but there are no offensive skills on the court that he doesn't know. He is the strongest offensive kaleidoscope in the NCAA."
It was the first time Chen Xiao saw Wade admire someone so sincerely.
It was also the first time Chen Xiao heard the word 'offensive kaleidoscope'.
"Steve Rogan, the apex of the average man without any physical gifts."
Not only Wade, the old people in the Marquette University team have a high opinion of Logan.
In the NCAA Division I teams, not to mention Marquette University, any university, any player has more or less physical talent.
Fast, tall, strong, you've got to be a little bit.
Otherwise, you won't be able to enter the NCAA Division I team. Chen Xiao and Chicago State University are just special cases.
Moreover, even if you have all these physical talents, you may not be able to become the number one player recognized by the league.
But Logan, he doesn't have these physical talents at all, and he can't run fast at a height of 1.83 meters, which is very worrying.
But under such conditions, he finally became the first person in the C-USA alliance.
From a rotation that averaged 8.9 points per game in his freshman year, he has grown into a superstar who can average at least 22 points per game.
As far as Steve Logan's growth experience is concerned, anyone who has played basketball will give a thumbs up.
Chen Xiao didn't know how to play basketball before, so maybe he wouldn't be moved after hearing such a story.
Now, he is already a basketball player, after realizing the importance of physical talent to a player.
He also has to admire players like Steve Logan.
How much effort is required to achieve such an achievement!
Looking at the old-looking, stocky, bald black man next to him, Chen Xiao really admired him.
"He has achieved the ultimate that an ordinary person can do."
"Now, he is challenging another miracle of ordinary people, entering the NBA!"
This black man with drooping eyelids, who feels like he hasn't woken up, is an idol who inspires the entire C-USA league.
Chen Xiao has been secretly observing the idol of the All C-USA League. Steve Logan is actually also watching Chen Xiao. Seeing that Chen Xiao has been observing him, Logan also smiled at Chen Xiao.
"This senior looks very gentle."
Chen Xiao secretly made an evaluation of Steve Logan in his heart.
At this time, the duel between Braxon and Maxhill, who were jumping the ball in the middle circle, was over.
After holding back a lot of energy, Braxon, who finally started, was finally defeated by Max Hill, who also started for the first time.
Braxon is a jumper, but this time, he seems to have met someone who can jump better than him.
And that's why the University of Cincinnati used Max Hill to jump the ball instead of the team's center Donald.
Marquette failed to jump the ball and the team quickly fell into position.
Fortunately, Marquette University's lineup is small, and the advantage of returning to defense quickly became apparent.
Because Wade and Ron Howard have gone to play forwards, Chen Xiao and Dina have become the first-line players to defend Cincinnati's offense.
Leonard, who dribbled the ball across the half, ignored Dina who was defending him in front of him. Seeing that Logan was in a good position, Leonard directly lobbed the ball into Logan's hands.
"I can't stand him!"
Chen Xiao originally wanted to use his height advantage to cover Logan, but Logan, who was behind the three-point line and asked for the ball, slammed Chen Xiao behind him.
After receiving Leonard's pass, Logan didn't take advantage of the trend to wipe Chen Xiao.
Instead, after pulling it out, he used two very beautiful crotch dribbles, followed by a breakthrough to the right and then a step back. After making Chen Xiao dizzy, he threw the basketball out of his hand.
Swipe!
Three points hit!
3 to 0!
Chen Xiao, who was almost knocked down, looked back at the hollow basketball that fell on the ground, and Chen Xiao almost subconsciously stretched out his thumb.
Logan's suit just now is too damn beautiful, right? !
No kidding, Chen Xiao was shaken like a log by him the whole time!
Chen Xiao felt that he saw the shadow of his idol Kobe in Logan!
"sharp!"
Chen Ling turned around and looked at Logan excitedly. After a moment of stunned, Logan smiled at Chen Ling before turning back to defend.
"This kid is very cheerful."
"The God's eye of 'I'm curious!' is indeed very bright."
I hope there will be a smile on this kid's face after a while, so he won't be too stimulated.
In Cincinnati's first attack, Chen Xiao was overwhelmed by Logan.
Logan's technique is really amazing!
"As expected of the idol of the entire C-USA league, someone who even guys like Xiaotai have to admire."
Well-deserved reputation!
It's just that what Chen Xiao didn't know at this time was that the group of NBA scouts on the sidelines didn't comment on Steve Logan that way.
"If he just took advantage of the situation and directly wiped Wonder Boy, then he would be the real Pierce."
"Logan doesn't have the turning speed to directly wipe out the magical boy and the explosive power to continue going deep after wiping it off, so in the end he chose a more complicated method to win himself a chance to make a shot."
"Logan's offensive skills are excellent and comprehensive, especially in the face of young defensive players in the NCAA whose defensive skills are still rough and who don't know how to use their bodies. He can use his skills to find a lot of offensive opportunities."
"But in the NBA, he won't have such an opportunity. Facing the mature defensive players in the NBA, he won't even have the opportunity to shoot."
"Even Jordan, he lost his speed and explosiveness, so he can only force shots, not to mention, Logan is only 1.83 meters."
Naturally, Chen Xiao didn't know the evaluation of Logan by the various NBA scouts on the sidelines and in front of the TV.
It was Marquette's turn to attack, and after Dina dribbled the ball across half court, he handed the ball to Wade and went to the corner by himself.
Dina's series of movements are very skilled. This kid has been watching the Lakers' games with Chen Xiao and the others.
But Wade didn't make strong shots like Kobe did when the three threats didn't sway the defense.
Instead, he jumped up and passed the ball. The lion turned around and passed the basketball to Chen Xiao.
In Cincinnati's zone defense, when Wade has the ball, all members are facing Wade.
Wade either rushes or passes.
The game has just started, so there is no need for a strong charge.
Although Chen Xiao also had special defense and assistance defense, the situation of facing five people like Wade's was much better.
After Chen Xiao used his explosive power to get rid of Leonard's defense, he received a pass from Wade, against Michael Roy's help defense, and made a mid-range shot!
2 to 3!
Michael Roy's defense was pretty good, but he was only 1.93 meters, and basically couldn't block Chen Xiao's shots.
78 mid-range shooting ability, resist this level of help defense, drizzle!
"It seems that there are still a few NCAA beasts who are as fast and as pestering as Devin Harris!"
It was very easy for him to get rid of Leonard's post defense just now.
The explosive power of 85 can't get rid of Devin Harris, but it can get rid of Leonard!
This time, Chen Xiao scored very simply, as if he had stepped out of the shadow of his poor performance in the last game.
Logically speaking, Chen Ling should now celebrate like his second idol, Garnett, beating his chest and screaming.
But thinking of Luo Ge's beautiful and ugly score just now, Chen Xiao was a little embarrassed to celebrate.
In terms of being picturesque, Chen Xiao was far behind.
Logan just smiled at such a beautiful score. Does he have the nerve to beat his chest and howl like ghosts and wolves?
Chen Xiao felt that she should still be a shameless person.
"Wonderboy's running position this time is very beautiful. Against the backdrop of Fantastic Boy, Leonard's explosive power and chasing ability are average, Braxon's cover is very solid, Michael Roy's help defense is timely, but Fantastic Boy still Hit, and his anti-contest shooting has improved, should be close to elite level."
"More importantly, although his other physical talents are horrible, he has elite-level explosive power and ability to get rid of it."
"The combination of elite-level explosive power and near-elite-level anti-interference mid-range shooting, the scoring of Wonder Boy is very valuable for reference. This scoring gives him the quality to continue in the NBA."
Chen Xiao, who was a little embarrassed by the comparison with Logan, also didn't know that those NBA scouts who dismissed Logan's score just now, actually praised his score so much.
On the court, the game is still going on.
Marquette University used a very small lineup in this game. Logically speaking, Marquette University's defensive pressure will be very high.
But in fact, Marquette University's inside defensive pressure is not great.
Cincinnati's two insiders basically have no offensive ability, especially Max Hill, who can jump better than Braxon.
The University of Cincinnati can't use the inside offense to punish Marquette's small lineup, so it needs to bear the advantage of Marquette's small lineup.
The defensive rotation is extremely fast!
Marquette University's defensive line shrinks and expands very quickly in this game, and the speed of double-teaming is also very fast.
The speed of counterattack is also very fast!
In the offense of the University of Cincinnati in this game, the offensive players dare not go to the free throw line, and going in is double-teaming.
Wade, Ron Howard and Braxon's help defense is too fast!
As a result, the University of Cincinnati fell into a situation where it needed to rely on Steve Logan's fairy ball to save its life just after the game started.
After the start of the game, Steve Logan has been scoring with Chen Xiao's amazing fairy ball. The beautiful goals made Chen Xiao's scalp go numb.
In fact, after the game started, Chen Xiao could also score well, and was even the player with the most points on the court.
But……
"The state of the little guy in this game is very strange. As for the little guy's character, he has already scored 10 points not long after the start. Logically speaking, it's time for him to say his lines from the 'God's Eye' series , 'Under my eyes, any defense can kill!', even if you don't say it, you should at least beat your chest, right?"
"This game, the little one is unusually 'shy'..."
The off-court Marquette bench was weird.
On the court, Chen Xiao was not only 'shy' but also very excited!
"I'm beeping! Master Logan's ball is even more magical!"
I was so excited that I uttered foul language for the first time in a game.
This is the beauty of basketball that he has always admired and longed for!
The beauty of basketball that he could only see on TV from his idol Kobe Bryant and those NBA stars, actually came into reality tonight!
Right by his side!
Looking at Chen Xiao who was getting more and more excited by his shots, Steve Logan didn't know whether to continue smiling or to cry and laugh.
"This kid..."
Why are you so excited? If you don't collapse, how can I create public opinion...
Without public opinion, can I enter the NBA with my head?
Logan shook his head bitterly.
Alas, I still can't laugh or cry.
This kid is obviously very good, but he is too optimistic...
