Chapter 2 My name is Chen Xiao, I really love basketball!
My name is Chen Xiao, male, 18 years old, from the countryside of Feng City, a county-level city in Yan City, Jiangsu Province, China.
As a child from rural China, it is very, very difficult to be able to study in the United States.
Most of my peers in the same village went directly to the factory after graduating from high school, and even many girls in the same village went directly to the factory as factory girls after graduating from junior high school.
A student like me who was admitted to an American university without taking the college entrance examination is a miracle in the village.
It is precisely because of this that both my family and the village have high hopes for me.
Although the Marquette University I attended is not a top school like Harvard and Yale, it is also in the top 100 in the United States, especially the bioengineering major I studied is the ace major of Marquette University, and it can be ranked in the top 50 in the United States.
It is said that the 21st century is the century of biology, and in the eyes of everyone, I have a bright future as a student studying bioengineering in a world-renowned bioengineering university.
Even my sister Chaoyue, who was less than three years old in the village, looked at me with tears in her eyes when she saw me off, as if to say to me: "Brother Xiao, you must come back in the future!" ”
Gou Fugui, don't forget, if you stay in the United States and don't come back to support us, I will definitely enter the factory as a factory sister when I grow up.
I don't want to be like other brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts in the village, who can only enter the factory in the future!
Although my sister is not yet three years old, I have always felt that this little girl is particularly precocious.
Of course, maybe these are my brain supplements.
In short, as the first college student to come out of the famous stupid village in Feng City, I have a very heavy burden on my shoulders.
So from the moment I boarded the plane and stepped out of the country, I secretly vowed that after completing my studies in the United States, I would definitely return to my motherland, return to the village, and use my ability to change the face and destiny of the village.
I was an orphan, my parents went out to work when I was very young and never came back, and I heard from the people in the village that I secretly went to sea and sank.
It was the sorrow of the coastal dreamers of that era.
Fortunately, when my parents didn't have it, I didn't know how to grieve.
When I understood grief, the people in the village made me grieve.
It can be said that I grew up eating 100 family meals in the village.
So, whether it's my uncle or brother or someone from the village like my younger sister, they are all relatives that I cherish very much.
"Xiao, your father said that when he came back, our village would be completely different, but he never came back......"
"When you go out this time, you must come back well."
"Uncle, don't worry, I went out in a dignified manner, and I will definitely be able to come back in a dignified manner!"
As the only hope of the stupid village, I had a lot of expectations and fantasies about my future when I stepped out of the country.
However, no matter how fantasizing I was, I never imagined that I would be on the basketball court.
In order to study, to change my own destiny and thus the fate of the village, I have been studying hard since I was a child, and I have almost never participated in other sports except running.
After all, I need to run home from school every day, and I need to run back to school every day to go to school, and I'm still very good at running.
Of course, although I haven't played much basketball, football, or sports, my physical fitness is still good, and I came from a rural area, which is normal.
But even so, I really would never have thought that when I stepped into the United States, I would be directly hit by a so-called basketball player growth system.
I really don't know what this system is, and I really don't know why it hit me, who doesn't know how to basketball!
Could it be that this so-called basketball player growth system must choose people who can't basketball?
If so, am I too lucky or too unlucky?
Anyway, by the time I got the system, all the futures I had imagined were different.
I can really ignore the system and continue to be a bioengineer of the future.
Bioengineers in the 21st century can definitely make a lot of money!
Biology, Chemistry, Materials, Environment!
Biochemical ring material, biology first!
This is the most promising, the most profitable, and the brightest profession in the 21st century in the mouths of the brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts and teachers who go out to work in the village!
This major can make me develop and make our village prosperous!
A basketball mere wants me to change careers?
No way!
At most, I'll be able to play basketball as an amateur!
It wasn't until I came to Milwaukee the next day that I looked for an NBA player payroll newspaper and saw the bunch of numbers that seemed to glow with gold and green.
In that moment, I, an 18-year-old boy who had never been abroad, felt that my dreams and future were all distorted......
Wrong!
I, Chen Xiao, I don't like the green and gold, I just like basketball!
I'm an eighteen-year-old Jordan fan!
I, Chen Xiao, really love basketball!
In this way, Chen Xiao appeared in the training hall of Marquette University, picked up the basketball in his hand, and slapped the basketball in his hand awkwardly under Ron Howard's black eyes.
……
……
"So Tim, this kid doesn't know any basketball, and then he got into our team?!"
As the person in charge of this recruitment, listening to the words of the head coach of the team next to him, Tom Cryan, Tim Barkley felt his face hot.
Careless!
He really didn't expect someone to be so unkind about 'ball morality' this time and sneak attack him, an honest man.
Who would have thought that someone who doesn't know anything would participate in the NCAA team's recruitment?
He was carried away by this big victory!
Thinking of this, the expression on Tim Barkley's face was a little ashamed.
"Tom, are we going to send him out?"
"No, maybe Tim has found us a genius like Olajuwon or Tim Duncan?"
The look on Tim Barkley's face grew even more ashamed.
Everyone knows that Olajuwon and Duncan both officially came into contact with systematic basketball training at the age of 15, and then relied on their ball intelligence and talent to become a generation of superstars, will this Chinese kid be the next Duncan or Olajuwon?
How can it be!
Tom was only comforting him for his mistake.
Tom Crane ignored Tim Barkley's current shame, and after being surprised, he actually had an interesting expression on his face.
"Funny boy."
Of course, Tom Creon's attention to Chen Xiao is only for a while, and as the head coach of the team, he certainly has to look at all the players.
Chen Xiao's stay will not determine the team's results, nor will it determine his stay next season.
If someone who doesn't know anything wants to come here, it means that he really loves basketball.
The doors of basketball were meant to be open to all those who love it.
He doesn't have the right to shut down the dreams of a basketball lover, whether he could be the next Duncan or Olajuwon.
Talent and ability are not important, what matters is love!
What defense, what iron-willedness?
When you have love, you have everything!
This is the Golden Eagle spirit of Marquette University!
He may have the Golden Eagle spirit that belongs to this team.
Tom Creon looked away from Chen Xiao and began to investigate the others.
In addition to the fact that there is no need to inspect, Ron Howard, who is teaching Chen Xiao to dribble, and other newly recruited Marquette University players are all undergoing various tests and training under the guidance of the team's trainers.
Marquette University is still in the registration stage, and has not officially opened yet, and the opening of the school will not be until May.
So now there are no official players in the team.
In the absence of regular players, this is a chance for new players to come out!
Who doesn't want to make a good impression in the minds of the manager?
Others wanted to get ahead, and Ron Howard wanted to get ahead even more.
His individual ability is now unbeatable in this team without a main force.
But the game of basketball is not only about individual ability, but also teamwork, and the coach asks that he has so much to show in front of Tom Creon.
But!
This guy!
Seeing Chen Xiao's awkward dribbling posture, Ron Howard's face became more and more difficult to look at.
Ron Howard's face was ugly, and of course Chen Xiao could see it.
At first he was quite embarrassed.
He really got in the way of Ron Howard, a super genius, and dragged him back.
The team's trainers are either training for fitness, strength or other aspects, and there is no basic training at all.
It's not just that the NCAA doesn't have a basic training coach who teaches others to play basketball from scratch, even the NBA doesn't have such a coach.
Can't dribble?
Then you shouldn't be on the NCAA or NBA training ground!
However, there is such a thing as embarrassment, it is really embarrassing and embarrassing.
Maybe he was ashamed and didn't want to see Ron Howard's Sima's expression, Chen Xiao, who had barely touched a basketball, actually escaped a little and seemed to be immersed in it.
Of course, maybe Ron Howard taught well, maybe he really loved basketball?
Although Ron Howard's face was shy, he was still very serious about teaching.
Moreover, Ron Howard saw that Chen Xiao's original awkward dribbling posture became smoother and smoother, and the whole person seemed to be immersed in it, and then looked at Chen Xiao's face, when the original embarrassed expression had now all become serious, Ron Howard's original Sima expression actually showed a look of surprise.
This idiot, is he serious?
He's not here to be funny and tarnish basketball, he's serious?
18 years old, I didn't have the conditions to play basketball before, but now, I still have to play NCAA, and I still have to chase my dream of the NBA?
If it's just a hobby, who will come to the NCAA, come to the NCAA, whether there is hope or not, it is to chase the NBA!
Thinking of this, and thinking of his original intention of racking his brains to give up so many good schools and come to Marquette University, Ron Howard's originally anxious expression relaxed slightly.
In this way, Ron Howard stared, shouting in a cold voice, Chen Xiao sank into it, and the scenery between the two of them was very different from the scenery of all the other places in the training hall.
I don't know how long it took, Chen Xiao's eyes flickered, and the basketball in his hand snapped to his feet.
"Ding, Ron Howard's dribbling teaching task is complete, congratulations to the host for gaining 10 points of basketball experience and a breakthrough experience card (informal game)."
That's it?
Thinking of the task just brushed out, Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment.
He had always felt that this task would definitely not be completed.
"Ding, Ron Howard released the dribbling teaching task: dribbling that satisfies me, the task reward: 10 points of basketball experience, a breakthrough experience card (informal game)."
That's the task just now.
Satisfy Ron Howard, how could Ron Howard possibly satisfy him!
The face is so stinky.
Hey?
Chen Xiao looked at Ron Howard suspiciously, and at this time, the look on Ron Howard's face actually didn't stink.
It's just a moment, and the look that didn't smell anymore has become even more stinky than just now!
"Concentrate, do it again!"
This roar sounded as if the entire training hall was about to explode.
Not to mention Chen Xiao, even the assistant coach of the team on one side, Tim Barkley, was stunned.
Isn't Ron unhappy?
This voice, although angry, is not unhappy.
When Tom Creon on the side put his eyes back on Chen Xiao and Ron Howard, a smile appeared on his face after a moment of surprise.
"Funny two boys."
In the roar and anger of Ron Howard, Chen Xiao's first intimate contact with basketball was very fortunate, but not painful at all......
