I’m Really Playing Basketball

On December 22nd, Milwaukee, Marquette University's training hall, Chen Xiao and Bobcats players are currently training here.

Because of Chen Xiao's arrival, the training hall of Marquette University is now very lively.

After all, Chen Xiao is a legendary player here. Even though Chen Xiao has been away for almost six years now, there are still many traces of Chen Xiao in the training hall of Marquette University.

For example, Chen Xiao's No. 11 jersey hanging high above the training hall, such as Chen Xiao's huge posters and statues outside the training hall.

For Marquette University, when the team won its third NCAA championship last year, Marquette University officials launched a ranking of the greatest players in team history.

In the end, Chen Xiao defeated teammates Wade and Ron Howard, as well as the legendary Butch Lee when the team won the championship for the first time, and Durant, who led the team to win the championship for the third time, to top the list.

In fact, Chen Xiao really didn't care that much about this ranking, because this ranking actually couldn't reflect the actual situation of Marquette University back then.

Although Chen Xiao was the player with the most points per game at Marquette University at that time, all fools knew that Wade was the leader of the team.

It's really better than when she was in college, how can Chen Xiao be as great as Wade.

But there is no way, Chen Xiao's achievements in the NBA are too successful, and it is too much to deny his achievements in college.

Just like in history, after Ke Boss led the team to two consecutive championships, many people overturned the previous three consecutive championships of Ke Boss, saying that even if Ke Boss was not the boss champion for the first three times, he could not be the second champion.

However, compared with Kobe, who failed to overturn the case in history, Chen Xiao has succeeded in overturning the case, and successfully used his achievements in the NBA to suppress Wade as the second in command.

No way, although Wade was the boss at the beginning, his advantage was not as great as that of O'Neal. In addition, Chen Xiao was the team's scoring leader, so it was easier to reverse the case.

Therefore, Chen Xiao was a little embarrassed about this.

What the greatest star in Marquette history.

It's better than being great, no matter who is number one, Chen Xiao definitely shouldn't be number one.

At the same time, it is certainly impossible for Adu to be fourth, and Butch Lee should not be fifth.

The only reason why Rogo ranks ahead of Durant and Lee is that Rogo is now a superstar in the NBA, otherwise his contribution to the team would definitely be inferior to Durant and Lee.

Of course, Chen Xiao is still contributing to Marquette University after graduation compared with these historical stars of Marquette University.

Let's just say that Marquette University was able to recruit Mike Beasley, the fourth high school student in the United States this year, all thanks to Chen Xiao.

Although Beasley and Durant are good brothers, Beasley did not follow Durant to the University of Texas in history.

Because Durant left after only one year in college, it doesn't make any sense to follow in Durant's footsteps.

Therefore, it was entirely because of Chen Xiao that Beasley joined Marquette University without Durant.

Beasley is a crazy kid. If you can't convince him in a one-on-one fight, he will still laugh at you when he should, not to mention that you are the number one player in the league.

This kid doesn't accept anyone else at all, but he only accepts Chen Xiao, because in the usual one-on-one duels, Beasley has never defeated Chen Xiao even once.

And basically every time they were beaten.

There was no way, Chen Xiao was not afraid of five Jordans, not to mention Beasley, on the training field.

And what's very interesting is that the harder Chen Ling kicked Beasley, the closer this kid was to Chen Ling. It was as if Chen Ling thought Beasley had Stockholm syndrome.

The class of 2007 is a class full of talented high school students in the United States.

Even though Beasley is only the fourth high school student, he is not as good as Mayo who is first, Love who is second, and Eric Gordon who is third.

But after arriving in college, Beasley's performance was definitely better than these three.

So far, he is averaging 27 points, 12 rebounds, 1.9 steals, and 1.6 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 54%. This is even worse than Durant last season.

I have to say that people who have been Durant's eldest brother do have a lot of skills.

And Beasley's current combat power is indeed no worse than that of Durant last season, and after two years with Chen Xiao, Beasley has made great progress, especially in single defense.

After all, if you are beaten by Chen Xiao in a duel, how can you win back if you don't improve your defense?

In history, Beasley played heads-up with others, even with a super giant like Xiao Zhan, Beasley didn't need to think about his own defense, because the offense can beat a superstar of Xiao Zhan's level.

And with Durant, who is recognized as a super strong one-on-one player, Bisce can use his own offense to go 50-50 with Durant.

Therefore, there is no need for defense or anything like that.

However, after encountering the anomaly Chen Xiao, Beasley did change his attitude towards basketball.

The boy became humble.

At the very least, his current data is much better than his historical average of 26+12 per game, especially on the defensive end.

As a freshman, Beasley showed a historic level at Marquette University this season, making him the hottest player in the NCAA this year.

And this kid always says after the game that he came to Marquette University because of his boss, Chen Xiao.

This keeps Chen Xiao's influence at Marquette University at its peak.

In other words, Beasley's words are actually good for himself.

After all, although he is very good in the NCAA this season, it seems difficult to say that he really stands out, not to mention the three ahead of him.

Just say that Rose, the fifth high school student behind him, also performed very well this season.

There is also seventh high school student Jerry Bayless, who can now average 20 points per game.

By the way, this year's 2007 high school students, the top 21, all averaged more than 10 points per game when they entered college, and most even averaged more than 15 points per game.

Even the 17th high school student, James Harden, can average close to 20 points per game, even hit nearly 60% of his two-pointers and over 40% of his three-pointers. You know, he is a Defender, this efficiency is simply against the sky.

Therefore, with so many competitors, although Beasley did it sincerely and never thought of binding Chen Xiao himself, he did bind himself to Chen Xiao now.

Now everyone knows about his close relationship with Chen Xiao.

As for the relationship between Beasley and himself?

It's hard for Chen Xiao to say, let's talk about his apprentice. It seems that Beasley has accepted his apprenticeship, but Chen Xiao didn't accept it. It's not that Chen Xiao doesn't like Beasley's talent. Some of that, so Chen Xiao doesn't want such a troublesome apprentice for the time being.

His mentality is the same as that of Patriarch Bodhi. Isn't Wukong's talent bad?

When I started teaching, Patriarch Bodhi said, don’t say you are my disciple.

Well, as a master, if something happens to his apprentice, he will also be responsible.

Chen Xiao felt that he could not bear the responsibility of a typical black genius like Beasley.

In the future, if Beasley reassures him, he will accept it.

Now, the relationship between him and Beasley is simply like the relationship between the boss and the younger brother. It is very special, but Beasley seems to like it too.

Chen Xiao is probably the only one in the entire basketball world who can make the proud Beasley accept such a setting.

In fact, Chen Xiao still admires Beasley. After all, if a genius like Beasley can grow up, it is basketball's blessing. If he dies, it is basketball's loss.

After all, the basketball system he carries is a super-just system.

As for Chen Xiao, he observed from the side and felt that Beasley's current growth was very good.

Not only the growth of personal strength, although Marquette University has lost its three core players of Durant, Curry and DeAndre Jordan this season, it still has three core players: Wesley Matthews, Jerell McNeil, and Dominic James. The veterans are still there.

Among them, Matthews averaged 12 points per game last season next to Durant and Curry and Jordan. He is the sharpest claw of the new Three Eagles.

It is also one of the two claws of the new Mitaka.

By the way, the other claw is Marquette University's sixth man last season, junior guard Dominic James.

With the support of these three veterans, plus the two talented rookie insiders in Beasley and Trevor Barkaway, Marquette University is playing very beautifully this season and is quite attractive.

Therefore, it is also one of the biggest favorite teams in the NCAA so far.

If Beasley can successfully lead Marquette University to win the championship for the fourth time, then in the 2008 draft, Beasley must be the No. 1 pick.

If he could really bring out a champion boy, Chen Ling felt that he would have quite a sense of accomplishment.

In other words, Durant, the disciple who made Jordan very proud, is powerful, but isn't he also ranked second?

So far, Chen Xiao can't see anyone in the 2007 class who can threaten Beasley's No. 1 pick.

The first Mayo, the second Love, and the third Eric Gordon are all relatively stretched in college.

As for the fifth Ross...

This is even more impossible.

Well, it's too difficult, too difficult for a point guard to win the No. 1 pick.

So his younger brother is much luckier than his good brother Durant, and he himself is looking forward to next year's draft pick.

Although they are good brothers, there has always been a rivalry between Beasley and Durant.

That's for sure.

After all, Durant was not only his childhood sweetheart, but also his younger brother.

Now that the younger brother is as Dior in the NBA, he still has some pressure.

Even more pressure than Oden.

Many people say that Oden is under the greatest pressure for Durant's super performance in the NBA this season. In fact, Beasley's pressure is no less than Oden's.

"Boss, this heads-up, I scored one and defended one."

"Well, there is progress, keep going."

After Chen Xiao patted Beasley on the shoulder, he said with a smile.

Beasley was singled out with Chen Xiao before, and he had never scored one while defending the next in a 10-point game.

This time it worked, of course not because Beasley beat the system.

Instead, Chen Ling deliberately released the water for two rounds.

After all, for young people, you can't keep suppressing him. Even if Beasley is suspected of having Stockholm syndrome, you can't keep abusing him. If you abuse him for a long time, give him a sweet date, and he will think the date is sweeter.

When Chen Xiao trained Beasley, his younger brother, he was very particular about methods.

Therefore, Beasley, who received the sweet date reward from Chen Xiao, was going to celebrate by killing the Bobcats in a one-on-one from the inside.

By the way, when the Bobcats, the NBA's one-on-one team, met Durant and Beasley, the miserable situation... was really unbearable to look at.

Let's put it this way, except for Granger and Roy, who will not participate in the one-on-one competition, the rest of the Bobcats will be killed against Durant and Beasley.

Imagine that in history, Xiao Zhan will be defeated when he encounters Xiao Bi in a duel. This shows how amazing these two wizards are.

But this time, Beasley, who originally wanted to kill the Bobcats indiscriminately, encountered an iron plate.

"Bartier..."

Seeing Beasley doubting his life while being defended by Battier on the court, Chen Xiao had a smile on his face.

Beasley underestimated the enemy.

At the same time, Battier's defensive effect is very good.

Strong, focused, and has excellent defensive skills.

The past few days since Battier came to the Bobcats, it really gave Chen Xiao and Jordan a huge surprise.

Let's put it this way, although Battier has a high status in the NCAA and a high status in the American basketball community, after the NBA moved to the Grizzlies, in this low-traffic team, Battier's exposure Very low, his strength is not widely seen.

This is a very good player who can defend the opponent's ace alone.

When Randolph was traded to the Grizzlies, Chen Xiao never thought about making money or making money with blood.

But now, Chen Xiao really feels like he has made a profit.

Battier is of great tactical significance to the Bobcats.

Let's put it this way, with Battier, the Bobcats have a player other than Chen Xiao who can defend the opponent's sharp knives very well and has stable offensive ability, such as the Spurs' Bowen.

Barnes' defense and offense are a little bit worse, and he has always been lacking as a starter in high-end innings.

Therefore, before Granger develops into a top-notch offensive and defensive player, Battier will be one of the most important tactical puzzle pieces for the Bobcats, and his tactical status is not even worse than that of Randolph.

Chen Xiao is very happy every time he comes to Marquette University for training.

After all, this is his first home after coming to the United States.

As a Chinese, Chen Xiao has always been nostalgic, so he has a sense of belonging to Marquette University.

Of course, the people and fans here did not regard him as an outsider.

December 22nd night, Bradley Arena.

When Chen Xiao came out with the Bobcats players, he received a huge cheer from the Milwaukee fans.

After all, Chen Xiao's jersey is also hanging above this arena.

Marquette University and the Bucks share a home court.

The fans are also very similar.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao returned to Milwaukee this time, there was no doubt that he once again surpassed everything.

Ray Allen, Durant, Curry, and Chen Xiao have all surpassed him.

This is something that this kid Curry would envy.

Of course, the desire to cause trouble also arises.

"Kevin, tonight let our idol feel what it means to be lost and what it means to be empty inside!"

In the first game of the season, Curry and Durant, who became famous against the Bobcats, wanted to show off again.

At this time, the starting lineups of both teams were also played.

Bucks, Braxon, Iguodala, Durant, Ray Allen, Curry.

Bobcats, Bynum, Aldridge, Battier, Chen Xiao, Paul.

Shane Battier really replaced Granger in the starting lineup!
