Chapter 23, the frenetic atmosphere of the war

On April 3, 2007, at the Georgia Dome Sports Center in Atlanta, the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Annual Finals is about to take place. The two teams will face off against the defending champion University of Florida and the rising power University of Texas.

This game attracted the attention of the United States, and the NBA did not schedule a game today to make way for this ultimate decisive battle.

The game hasn't started yet, but the stadium is already filled with supporters of both sides. Fans on both sides shout their own slogans to cheer for their teams!

There are many famous NBA stars and team managers in the audience. This is a good opportunity to inspect the players, especially this year's No. 1 pick Kevin Durant, which makes it possible for several players to win the No. 1 pick this year.

The team managers all appeared on the sidelines for a close inspection.

Some famous alumni who graduated from both schools also came to the sidelines to cheer for their respective alma maters. The University of Florida alumni group includes:

White Chocolate Williams and Udonis Haslem, who currently play for the Miami Heat, this year's All-Star Game Rookie Challenge MVP winner David Lee, who plays for the New York Knicks, and shooter Mike Miller, who plays for the Memphis Grizzlies,

They all appeared on the sidelines to cheer for their alma mater.

As for Texas, LaMarcus Aldridge, who was drafted second overall by the Trail Blazers last year, Daniel Gibson, who was drafted by the Cavaliers in the second round, and P.J. Tucker, who was drafted by the Raptors in the second round, were drafted in 2003.

TJ Ford, the No. 8 pick selected by the Bucks, and Chris Mihm, the No. 7 pick selected by the Bulls in 2000, also came to the sidelines to cheer for their alma mater.

In addition, we also saw the top stars of three NBA teams from Texas: Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady of the Houston Rockets, Nowitzki and Terry of the Dallas Mavericks, and Duncan, Parker and Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs.

wait.

Nash, the head guard of the Suns who once favored Quan Xiao in interviews, actually came to the sidelines today. Of course, this time he was not accompanied by Stoudemire, so he sat down with Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks. After all,

The two have also played together for several years and are good friends off the court.

T, ESPN, Time Warner Sports and other large and small television media chose to broadcast the game live, and each sent their own ace commentary team. The popularity of the game reached its peak for a while, not inferior to the NBA Finals.

The game hasn't started yet

It started, but at this time the atmosphere in the field was very heated by the fans on both sides. The players on both sides were still doing pre-match preparations in the locker room. The coaching staff was intensively studying various tactics and possible situations.

some emergency response plans.

"Quan, what are you doing?" Kevin Durant couldn't help but asked curiously as he watched Quan Xiao spread out a piece of rice paper on the stool in the locker room, with brushes, inkstones, ink and other objects on the side.

.

"Oh, I'm going to write a calligraphy. Kevin, if you like our Chinese culture, if you finish it later, I can give it to you as a souvenir!" Quan Xiao answered Durant's question and picked up the brush and dipped it in it.

Ink, I thought about the layout for a while and then started writing.

"Wow, cool! Are you telling the truth? Write it down and send it to me later."

"Of course, if you like!" Quan Xiao replied while continuing to write, without being affected by it at all.

On the other side, other teammates were also attracted by Quan Xiao's behavior. When they saw Quan Xiao writing a beautiful Chinese character on the white rice paper, they all opened their mouths in surprise.

"Wow, it's really cool! I didn't expect you to be able to do this. Although I don't know what you wrote, it looks really cool. I really want a copy, can you give me one as well?

Give it to me."

"Yeah, I think it's cool too, and I want one. Can you write one for me too?"

"Is this the magical oriental culture? It's really beautiful, even though I can't understand it!"

...

The comments from his teammates did not interrupt Quan Xiao's movements, nor did they even cause interference. In his previous life, Quan Xiao started practicing calligraphy in elementary school and had been practicing it for more than ten years, thus possessing a very deep foundation.

Quan Xiao did not give up this hobby after his rebirth, and practiced calligraphy frequently after coming to the United States. Because he found that practicing calligraphy not only calmed his mind, but more importantly, made his wrists more flexible, which was helpful for his

Shooting stability helps a lot.

"No problem, if you really like it, I will definitely give you one piece each. But

I just promised Kevin this one, and I will supply you with the rest after we win this game." Quan Xiao said as he finished writing the last stroke, put down his pen after writing his name and date on the signature.

"Okay, Kevin, you can put it away after the ink dries."

"Haha, okay, brother, I'll put it away after a while! Thanks!" Kevin Durant was very happy and seemed to really like the calligraphy given to him by Quan Xiao.

"Kevin, do you want to know the meaning of my words?"

"Of course I do, can you tell me about it?"

The words Quan Xiao wrote today are from a very famous passage in "Mencius" that is very famous in China, that is, "When heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this people, it must first strain their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies, and deplete their bodies."

The body and actions mess up what they do, so they use their mind and forbearance to gain what they can't do."

He feels that this passage is very appropriate to describe every person with ideals, and it is even more of a warning for those of them who are determined to make a name for themselves in the NBA.

"The meaning of this passage is that if a person wants to succeed, he must first learn to endure hardship, strengthen his muscles and bones, hone his mind, make his character tough, and increase the talents he does not originally possess.

Only in this way can we accept the great responsibility God has given us."

After a pause, Quan Xiao continued, "The same is true on the basketball court. Only by going through training and becoming stronger can you truly achieve success. Michael has already proved this very well."

"I understand, I will, let's work hard together, brother!" After Durant said, he solemnly hugged Quan Xiao and patted the latter twice heavily on the shoulder.

Feeling Durant's determination, Quan Xiao smiled. At this moment, he felt very relaxed, without any nervousness before the game. This was also the reason why he wrote before the game. He calmed down his mood through writing and used

Be in the best condition to face a very important game in your life.

"Okay, let's go warm up. Today we must bring the championship trophy back to Texas and create our history!"

"Bring the championship trophy back to Texas and create new history!" The players responded enthusiastically to Coach Barnes' words and walked out of the locker room to go to the court to warm up and prepare for the upcoming battle.
