I’m Really Playing Basketball

On March 1, 2002, after Marquette University defeated DePaul University 82 to 53, it completed the regular season record of the C-USA League.

C-USA league wins are not so unusual, the most recent, two years ago, the University of Cincinnati completed.

However, don't compare yourself with others, compare yourself with yourself.

For Marquette, this is a first.

After all, the C-USA alliance is a new alliance that has not been formed for a long time.

Therefore, after the game against DePaul University, the head coach of the team, Tom Klein, who has always managed the team very strictly, invited everyone to celebrate together.

"We have won the regular season now, and we will also win the next finals. We will be in C-USA, and we will win the championship in Cincinnati!"

According to the C-USA competition system, after the end of the regular season, the playoffs, which is the final stage, will begin on March 7.

The eight teams with the best results in the two leagues will be gathered in Cincinnati's Riverside Stadium for three consecutive days of single-elimination matches, starting from the 7th to the 9th to determine the champion.

This is the same as the situation where the final four of the NCAA finals are concentrated in one place.

Therefore, the playoff stage of this competition system is also called the final stage.

Marquette University won the regular season and is the top seed this time.

The University of Cincinnati is the No. 2 seed with 14 wins and 2 losses, the University of Memphis is the No. 3 seed with 10 wins and 4 losses, and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is the No. 4 seed with 11 wins and 5 losses.

Marquette's first-rounder in the finals will be eighth-seeded Texas Christian University this time.

There are still 6 days before the game against Texas Christian University. According to Tom Crean's character, it is absolutely not allowed to let Marquette University players come out to show off.

But this time, he let the players who had been held back for a long time come out at his own expense.

"Tom, is this really good? The NCAA National Championship game is on March 14, and it has been less than half a month..."

"It's because March Madness is coming soon, and now is the last chance to decompress. In March Madness, unless we are eliminated, there will be no such opportunities again."

"Yeah, these three months of unbeaten victories, the players have suffered too much..."

Tim Buckley looked at the boy who was eating, drinking, and laughing not far away. His eyes were still so bright, and his face was still so cheerful. Who could tell that he had spent the past three months trying to improve himself? His own defense, living a life like hell?

In fact, it's not just him. Although the other main players of the team are not as tired as him, everyone is holding their breath.

"We can't lose a game in the next game of this season. I want to give all the victories and championships to Zaire!"

Wade, who ate meat and drank drinks, was very excited.

Zaire was the name of his unborn son.

His wife was about to give birth, and the due date was in March Madness, around the time of the NCAA Finals.

At that time, Wade and Marquette University were playing games in other places in the United States, so they definitely couldn't wait for delivery.

Not being able to wait for labor and watching the birth of his son made Wade very uncomfortable.

If you can't win the championship, it will be even more uncomfortable.

"I want to reach the NCAA finals, and I want to stand in front of him again!"

Ron Howard, who has always been very self-controlled, can't control his emotions now.

Before coming to Marquette University, he never thought that he and Marquette University would have the chance to enter the NCAA finals.

If the biggest favorite in the NCAA is still Duke University, which is sweeping the ACC league, then the second favorite is Marquette University.

"Xiaotai, Brother Luo, don't worry, I've done the math, this year is our lucky year, all of our dreams will come true, little ones, don't you think so!"

The moment Chen Xiao hugged Ron Howard next to him and raised his drink cup high, his two faithful legs, Braxon and Dina, echoed loudly.

For a time, the atmosphere of the whole scene reached its climax.

And Kevin Maynard, who was sitting in the dark corner seat, looked at the young man who seemed to be the focus of the audience, with a very complicated expression.

Although he is not an official player of the team, but the team has achieved such a good result in the C-USA league, the team still invited these reserve players to celebrate together.

Even Duffy's official players who left the team were invited.

Marquette University's performance this season is so good, it is indeed worthy of everyone's celebration.

"Back then he was on the sidelines just like me, but now, in less than a year, he has become the brightest protagonist..."

"And I, I'm still..."

After drinking a glass of red wine, all the melancholy came to my heart.

"I wish you a bright future, good fortune, good luck!"

All melancholy also disappeared.

At the team's celebration party, everyone was looking forward to March Madness.

No one seems to care about the upcoming C-USA playoffs.

The head coach used the period as a final chance to relax.

Players also treat these games as a friendly match in search of their best form.

It's not that Marquette University's players are gone, but with the strength of Marquette University, in this season's three-acre C-USA league, they may not be able to lose no matter how they play.

A C-USA league without a super insider has nothing to do with Marquette University.

What's more, Marquette University is indeed super strong now!

Wade, Ron Howard, Dina, and Braxon, the four starters, each of whom was trained by Chen Xiao with the training experience card is a talent.

And the bench led by Caudell-Henry, Ennamaka and Merritt is also not bad in strength.

They do have their own problems in the starting lineup, but playing as a substitute, not to mention the C-USA league, even the entire NCAA, is one of the most luxurious substitutes.

As far as the current strength of Marquette University is concerned, if Duke University led by Jay Williams is not so against the sky this season, Marquette University will be the biggest favorite to win the championship.

Now, Marquette University can only come in second.

Even if it is ranked second, it is not as good as Duke, but there is still a gap in grades with other teams.

As long as you don't meet a team with a super insider, as long as you don't meet Duke, no one can beat Marquette University.

After talking about so many people, what about Chen Xiao?

Of course, Chen Xiao's progress has also been very, very great.

"Ding, the host completed three steals for the first time in a D-level official game, achieved the achievement 'First Show', and rewarded the host with a 'Steal Experience Card (Official Game)', a career value of 100 points, and a wingspan of 2 cm. "

Chen Xiao, who returned to the dormitory after the celebration, looked at this piece of information on the system interface in a daze.

Against DePaul tonight, he had three steals for the first time in an official game.

Because he finally completed the enlightenment of single defense before the start of the game against DePaul University.

A full three months!

From this, we can see how hard the careers of those professional basketball players are, and how hard it is to play basketball seriously.

Chen Xiao had been complaining about the system before, why couldn't he just soar into the sky.

They've all cheated, and if you don't come to make a big deal, what's the matter?

Now, he understands.

How can you respect the sport of basketball and those who play basketball seriously if you don’t first experience the joy and suffering of playing basketball seriously?

A person who can't even play basketball seriously, what qualifications does he have to use basketball cheats to change his life against the sky?

If you want to use cheats, just honestly give me the enlightenment of basketball with my own strength.

From the beginning, it was crazy to hang up, let you use basketball to pretend, to see those who have really paid for basketball for who knows how many years and really love basketball?

If you abuse these people who really love basketball, will you love basketball?

This basketball education and growth system will not produce a so-called strong player who tarnishes basketball like this.

"Obviously I am a system that cheats people, but I have such a sense of justice."

Chen Xiao didn't know how many times she complained in her heart.

Although the complaints belong to the complaints, his body is still very honest.

More tired, more bitter, he, Chen Xiao, is no worse than anyone!

Compared with his love, curiosity and interest in basketball, he, Chen Xiao, is not inferior to anyone now!

so……

"Mr. or Ms. System, congratulations, you have not cultivated a fanatic, but cultivated a person who truly loves basketball."

Hehe, Chen Ling is still a bad fart.

Mr. or Miss who bullies this system cannot speak or refute.

Talking about it.

Before he scored more than 20 points and 30 points, he could complete the achievements of the system. This time, he also achieved achievements in stealing three times, which is normal.

"A real stealing experience card that can be used in competitions, this is a really good thing!"

Chen Xiao used it on Wade, Ron Howard, and Dina during training, and it was true that one used one.

In the past few months, the ability of these four guys to protect the ball and dribble has gradually increased under his steal experience card.

"One is still too little, and I have to swipe another one and put it away, just to be safe."

Chen Xiao secretly set a goal for himself in his heart, and then swiped a steal experience card.

I just don't know how many times the next achievement is required, five times?

What's more, if you get the steal achievement, you will also add 2 cm of wingspan, not 1 cm of height and 1 cm of wingspan for scoring achievements, but 2 cm plus wingspan.

I have been playing basketball for almost a year, and wingspan is too important, maybe even more important than height.

The usefulness of wingspan is reflected in all aspects of the game of basketball.

After three months of single-defense enlightenment, Chen Xiao's personal panel and attribute panel have changed again.

The wingspan has increased by 2 cm, the weight has increased by 2 kg, the career level has also been raised by two levels, and the remaining career points have been saved by 3 points. There is also an extra stealing experience card that can be used in official competitions.

The things on these personal panels can only be said to be subtle changes.

The real biggest change was the single-defense enlightenment in the past three months, which made Chen Xiao awaken two more attributes.

One is the physical attribute of lateral movement, and the other is the stealing attribute.

Both of these attributes were increased to full value by Chen Xiao.

70 lateral moves, 65 steals, plus the defensive experience he and Wade have gained in singles, Chen Xiao has already tried it, DePaul University's 2000 All-American No. 18 talented guard Emery Sawyer's offense It's 50-50 with his defense at most, and he can't move him anymore.

Of course, Emery Sawyer's current growth has not met the expectations of others. It is considered that he has not improved and his potential has been exhausted. His current strength is about the same as when he graduated from high school.

But even so, Chen Xiao is already very happy. At least it means that his current defense can defend the top 20 high school students in the United States!

This defensive ability is no longer a team weakness in the NCAA.

With such a great improvement in defense, Chen Xiao's system evaluation has of course also changed. Chen Xiao's personal strength has been upgraded from D+ to C-.

As Chen Xiao's strength improved again, the five players of Marquette University also reached the C level or above.

Two Bs and three Cs.

It seems that there is still a lot of cards in the NCAA.

I don't know what level is the starting lineup composed of Jay Williams, Boozer, Dengtai Jones, Mike Dunleavy and Chris Duhon in Duke University?

Looking at the current personal panel, he thought about the bright future and challenges of himself and the team satisfactorily, then Chen Xiao washed up and went to sleep.

When Chen Xiao woke up the next day, it was another day full of energy.

But soon, when the playoffs of C-USA started, Chen Xiao's vitality turned into full of resentment.

Chen Xiao, who wanted to swipe another stealing experience card before the national competition, failed to get the number of steals that could be classified as a second stealing achievement in two consecutive games.

"Aren't you crazy on the defensive end in these two games?"

"When did this kid work so hard on the defensive end? He doesn't even want to score?"

Chen Xiao's act of giving up offense and frantically defending during the game stunned everyone in Marquette University.

But the opponent's players just didn't want to fight Chen Xiao, they would hide when they saw Chen Xiao, and they didn't play one-on-one with Chen Xiao at all.

Stealing can also be done by assisting in defense, but now Chen Xiao's ability to assist in defense...

Obviously just want to swipe another steal experience card, but the opponent is not cooperative at all, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

It was as if the whole world was against him.

It's just obvious that's not the case.

"Marquette University players are too capable of one-on-one, and now C-USA players have given up one-on-one with Marquette University players!"

Forcing the young and energetic talents of the NCAA to give up one-on-one, the strength of Marquette University, to be honest, somewhat shocked the expert reporters who have been paying attention to Marquette University's games.

"After Duke University, Marquette University also achieved this achievement!"

"Duke University and Marquette University are really chasing each other this season!"

"This season's national championship is wonderful!"

The C-USA semifinal between Marquette University and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is still going on, and the media experts in front of the TV and on the scene are already excited.

In another place in front of the TV, Dajuan Wagner, the head guard of the University of Memphis, looked a little disdainful.

"A bunch of cowards!"

77 to 48, Marquette University took the lead in advancing to the finals after easily defeating the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in the C-USA semifinals.

After Chen Xiao and Marquette University advanced to the finals, they did not leave the Riverside Gymnasium.

Instead, stay and continue to watch another semi-final.

University of Cincinnati vs. University of Memphis.

Chen Xiao still cared about Steve Logan very much.

"Master Logan is so strong, our final opponent must be the University of Cincinnati."

The predictions before the game were full of confidence, but the results after the game were...

80 to 64!

The University of Memphis easily defeated the University of Cincinnati.

"Master Logan, I lost..."

Such a powerful Master Logan actually lost...

Chen Xiao, who was very unbelievable about this result, stood out among the other calm Marquette University players...

ps: Please recommend, please collect! ! !

Tips, Marquette University's big brother Caudell Henry, 1.78 meters, in history, this season can average 15.2 points and 3 assists per game, shooting 49%, a small guard with comprehensive offense.
