On April 22, 2001, Sunday, U.S. time, Chen Xiao got up refreshed early in the morning.

"I had a good dream last night."

Chen Xiao smiled and looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.

Brushing his teeth, washing his face, changing clothes, and backpacking out, Ron Howard was waiting for him at the door with his backpack on his back as usual.

"Brother Luo, good morning."

"Good morning."

After a good night's sleep, Chen Xiao had a refreshing smile on her face.

And Ron Howard's face also has the warm and warm smile he has always had when facing Chen Xiao in the past.

The two of them seemed to have forgotten the anxious and irritating events of the previous night.

Just, did you really forget?

The two walked side by side to the team's training hall as usual.

The pedestrians on the road, as usual, were pointing or greeting Chen Xiao.

There is no doubt that for now, Chen Xiao's popularity at Marquette University is unknown how many levels higher than Ron Howard's.

Chen Xiao is now a star-level student, while Ron Howard is basically out of a state of no one knowing.

All of this looks no different from the previous morning.

Perhaps the only slight difference is that Chen Xiao is more hearty and active this morning.

Chen Xiao, who usually doesn't greet passers-by too much, smiled at almost everyone who greeted him on the road today.

looked at Chen Xiao's hearty and sunny smile on his face......

Ron Howard's mood was heavy.

Chen did not hesitate to give up his dream to fulfill my dream.

Ron Howard, who had been silent next to him, clenched his fists tightly and quickly released them again.

"Chen, why?"

"Brother Luo gave up everything glittering and chose basketball in the future, you have so many people's dreams on your back, and me, my dream, basketball is not the only one, if it's gone, it's gone."

"Brother Luo, you can't live without basketball, I can live without basketball, it's as simple as that, don't think about it, rest well, no matter what the result is, Brother Luo must let me see you as the strongest tomorrow."

"Good night, Brother Luo, don't let me down."

Chen Xiao greeted him one by one with the people who greeted him on the road leading to the training ground, as if there was no chance in the future.

And Ron Howard next to him was constantly thinking about the picture and back of Chen Xiao when he left last night.

Looking at the training hall in front of him, Ron Howard felt that his steps were extremely heavy.

In the past, he always wanted to arrive earlier, but today, he has some hope that this road will never end.

This feeling has not appeared in a long, long time......

"Ron, don't blame us for not saying goodbye, I think that person is right, people like us shouldn't have those unrealistic dreams, listen to our parents, follow the path arranged by our parents, study hard, and inherit the family business in the future, isn't it good?"

"Basketball? Hehe, we can't play basketball, just like poor people can never become like us. ”

"Give up, Ron."

"We have our lives, basketball is not our lives."

Four years ago, a newly formed basketball team full of hopes and dreams vanished and dreams shattered in the laughter of one person.

Everybody's gone......

And he, in the confusion and disappointment of his family, school, and friends, walked alone.

"I'm going to prove that I can play basketball!"

Four years of solitude......

He didn't want to give up on his dreams, but he didn't want to lose his partner again.

"Brother Luo, we're here."

Ron Howard came back to his senses and looked at the door in front of him, and before he could stop it, Chen Xiao had already stepped directly into it.

Looking at the relaxed and resolute back, Ron Howard's outstretched right hand grabbed the air and retracted it, stepping on heavy steps, and followed in.

"It's a little bit, it's early this year."

"I want to see the official players of our Marquette University earlier."

"Rather, while Marquette didn't make it to the final national tournament last season, we finished third in the regular season in the USA League, and the University of Cincinnati and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in the USA League, as well as the University of Southern Mississippi and the University of Memphis in the National League."

As soon as Chen Xiao walked into the training hall today, the other teammates who usually didn't dare to harass him under Ron Howard's deterrence all surrounded him.

Obviously, today is the day when the official players from Marquette University last season will come back, and these die-hard freshmen who were suppressed by Ron Howard feel that they have a backer and are not afraid of Ron Howard.

Therefore, in the face of Ron Howard's tyrannical murderous eyes behind Chen Xiao, Kevin Maynard, who was holding Chen Xiao's shoulder, would have let it go if he had changed to usual, but today, he was quite calm.

"Ron, don't think you can easily beat us, want to be the boss of the team, do you think you deserve it?"

"A guy who hasn't even played in a high school league wants to be the boss of a fifth-place team in the USA league and a former NCAA championship team, you think it's ridiculous? Hahaha......"

The Marquette University training hall, which was suppressed by Ron Howard in a strong and brutal way for more than half a month, has been filled with laughter at the moment.

How depressed they have been in the past half a month, how arrogant they are laughing now.

Bang!

The laughter, which had been growing wilder, was interrupted by a crisp thug.

Looking at the red mark on his hand, Kevin Maynard, who was holding Chen Xiao's shoulder just now, looked incredible.

"Little one, we've already given you a chance!"

Kevin Maynard looked at Chen Xiao with a somewhat gloomy face.

He originally thought that this little pet would definitely choose to leave Ron Howard in this situation.

At that time, Ron Howard was alone on the team.

When the time comes, Ron Howard will fail to challenge the boss and will definitely have no face to stay.

When the time comes, the position of the last official player of the team will definitely be his own.

poaching the little pets and angering Ron Howard to challenge the boss.

Nine times out of ten, there was an accident.

I don't know what to do.

And what about Ron Howard?

This irascible guy, in the face of such a provocation from him, actually held back.

"Brother Luo, ignore them, don't be affected by your mentality."

Chen Xiao ignored Kevin Maynard's incredible eyes and wanted to take Ron Howard out of the place where these people were.

At this moment, several tall young men rushed in at the door.

"Is the team so lively now?"

"This year's freshmen seem to be very energetic."

Looking at the row of big men who appeared at the door, Chen Xiao showed a look of surprise.

They are all so imposing!

"It's back, our official players are back!"

After a brief moment of stunnedness, Kevin Maynard, Todd Townsend and others all became agitated.

"Kaudle Henry, Marquard's main point guard last season, averaged 13 points and 4.5 assists per game in the NCAA last season, and was the star point guard of the USA league!"

"Olama Enamarca, the main forward of Marquette University last season, averaged 10 points and 5 rebounds per game in the NCAA last season, and was the star forward of the USA League!"

"Scott Merritt, the team's main center last season, ranked 85th in the class of 2000 high school seniors, has a chance to enter the NBA in the future!"

The voices of Kevin Maynard and Todd Townsend were excited and loud, as if they were deliberately speaking to Chen Xiao and them.

Listening to their introduction to these people, Chen Xiao felt that these people seemed to be glowing in the morning light outside the door.

The kind of brilliance that is unique to stars and big shots.

"And that, the strong man standing between Henry, Ennamarca, and Merritt is...... He is the 40th highest ranking of high school students in the United States in the class of 2001, and the first day talent in Wisconsin is even more talented than Wisconsin Basketball Mr. Devin Harris, Travis Diner! ”

Is he Travis Diner?

He's the one who just wants to compete with Brother Luo for the boss of the team?

Looking at the white guard who looked about the same height as himself in the center of everyone's eyes, Chen Xiao was a little surprised.

Compared with the image of the big demon king he imagined to be defeated, it was a little ordinary.

However, whether ordinary or not, this person is the target of Brother Luo's defeat!

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao walked over to Dina in front.

"Chen!"

Seeing Chen Xiao walking directly towards Diner, Ron Howard's face changed.

He hasn't made a decision yet, Chen wants to help him make a decision!

As if knowing that Ron Howard behind him would reach out to grab him, Chen Xiao shook his right hand and evaded Ron Howard's stop.

Just when Ron Howard lost his mind......

"What are you all doing blocking the door?"

Well?

Hearing this familiar voice, Chen Xiao, who was walking towards Dina, was stunned.

Hearing this voice, Chen Xiao was stunned, and Ron Howard behind Chen Xiao was also stunned.

And the others......

The official players of Marquette University, who were still standing in a row at the door just now, except for Dina, all stood in two rows like guards to greet their king.

Even Todd Townsend and Kevin Maynard, who were arrogant just now trying to provoke Ron Howard, honestly followed and stood in two rows.

The voice......

When the man who made the voice walked into the training hall in the morning light......

There are no black-rimmed glasses.

But his unusual cheeks told Chen Xiao and Ron Howard who this person was.

All were in line.

This made Chen Xiao and Ron Howard, the two people standing in the middle of the road, particularly abrupt.

Looking at Chen Xiao and Ron Howard, who were in the middle of the road at this time, Kevin Maynard was excited.

Hahahaha, get ready for the most merciless blow!

Chen Xiao and Ron Howard naturally didn't know about Kevin Maynard's mental activity next to him.

At this time, the two were really shocked.

"Small, ......"

"Good morning."

What is small, it is called big brother!

Wade interrupted Chen Xiao with a smile before he could call out his name.

"Good morning, good morning......"

Chen Xiao and Ron Howard were almost surprised, and subconsciously followed and responded at the same time.

Surprise, right?

Accidental, right?

Brothers!

"Boss, he, he smiled and said hello to the little ones?!"

This, how is this possible?!

Under Todd's introduction, Wade, the cold male god who hadn't looked at him squarely, actually greeted them with a smile?

They don't give face so much, and they say that they are sanctioned with an iron fist?!

Kevin Maynard was stupid.

"The sun is rising in the west today?"

In fact, it wasn't just Kevin Maynard, seeing the smile on Wade's face, many people around him were dumbfounded.
