"The jersey is great, it's as good as your performance in this game, I'm glad that you were the one who ended my basketball dream, I will treasure this game and your jersey, I hope this will be the proudest achievement of my basketball career, I will cheer for you with the basketball in my hand, Marquette's golden eagle, spread your wings and fly high."

In front of the mailbox outside Chen Xiao's dormitory.

After finishing the victory celebration with his teammates, Chen Xiao, who returned to the dormitory, looked at the note paper in his hand and was a little stunned.

This was sent by David Bailly?

David Bailly in the dressing room at the time?

David Bailly knows about me exchanging jerseys with him?

And is David Bailly really willing to swap jerseys with him?

"So, David Bailly really recognized me!"

Looking at these serious words on the sticky note, Chen Xiao's face was a little excited.

As the first jersey exchanged for his basketball career, he couldn't exchange the jersey from David Bailly before, which made Chen Xiao a little regretful.

Now, seeing this sticky note, all the regrets in Chen Xiao's heart have disappeared.

"In the future, I can hang up David Bailly's jersey openly!"

"With this sticky note of his!"

Chen Xiao doesn't even have a home of her own in the United States now, so she has already begun to think about the treasured jerseys in the future.

I have to say that Chen Xiao's idea span is a bit large.

No way, this victory with Loyola University brought Chen Xiao a lot of confidence.

"Don't worry, I will definitely let you and the basketball in your hand see the day when I spread my wings and soar into the sky!"

David Bailly's recognition made him even more confident.

This match with Loyola University is really important to Chen Xiao.

This match gave him the opportunity to compete for the main team of the team.

At the same time, it also gave Chen Xiao a clearer understanding of his current strength.

He was sure that he was no longer the kind of player who was rubbed by others and had no power to resist at all.

In the NCAA, facing many players and many teams, Chen Xiao already has the space and stage to perform.

"Moreover, I believe that this space, this stage, will be even bigger in the future."

After Chen Xiao put away David Bailly's jersey and sticky notes, he sat down at the desk.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for participating in a D-level official match and winning, rewarding 50 points of basketball experience and 20 points of career value."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for scoring more than 20 points in the first official match of his career, completing the blockbuster achievement, and rewarding the host with 1 career point."

This is the notification of the system update after Chen Xiao finished playing the match against Loyola University.

"I didn't expect to gain basketball experience, career value and career points when I played official games."

Chen Xiao was quite surprised.

Basketball experience is okay, the key is career value and career points.

Career points are experience that can be given to him to level up, and when he levels up, he can get career points.

Career points, on the other hand, can be used directly to add points.

Even if your stats don't have potential, you can still use career points to increase them.

A precious batch!

Without any hesitation, Chen Xiao added all the career points rewarded by today's game and the remaining 2 career points from the previous upgrade to the attribute of explosiveness.

The explosiveness attribute has been directly increased by 3 points, becoming 85.

Explosiveness is very important to Chen Xiao now.

The level of explosiveness affects his ability to get rid of on the court.

Get rid of defense and shoot from mid-distance, this is Chen Xiao's biggest weapon on the offensive end now.

The sharper this weapon is, of course, the better.

"85's explosive power, if I do it again, I will definitely not be entangled by David Bailly so easily!"

"If I can have 85 explosiveness in the last game, my shooting percentage can definitely be a little bit higher!"

Chen Xiao looked at the only golden number on his attribute panel, quite satisfied.

Although there is only one now, there will be more and more in the future!

"I'll do my best!"

The next day.

Although Chen Xiao slept a little late yesterday because of the competition, the next day, Chen Xiao still got up very early.

The same goes for Brother Luo next door.

It's exciting.

Young people are so easily motivated, and they are also prone to falling into low mood.

Now Chen Xiao feels that he and Ron Howard are in a very excited state.

"Brother Luo, am I dazzled, I always feel that along the way, everyone looks at me differently."

"Really?"

When Ron Howard heard Chen Xiao say this, he didn't answer positively, but just smiled slightly.

"Maybe."

Last night's 85-75 win over Loyola University at home did change a lot of things for the team.

Chen's feelings were not wrong.

After this game, Chen's performance can indeed bring more reverie.

This somewhat difficult game has given Chan some small changes in the hearts and minds of Marquette University fans.

From a simple 'lucky object' to a 'strong' player who can solve problems for the team.

In the past, I relied on my face and selling cuteness to eat.

Now it has been discovered, it turns out that such a cute creature can also eat iron and gold, and tear hungry wolves with their hands.

Because of a competition, inside Marquette University, on the campus of Marquette University, in Milwaukee, Chen Xiao was fully recognized.

In this regard, Chen Xiao, who understood it, was still very happy.

Although he can eat at Marquette University by 'selling cuteness'.

But 'selling cute' can't let him enter the NBA.

If you want to enter the NBA, you rely on the hard power of eating iron and swallowing gold and tearing hungry wolves!

"It's pretty cool."

"What's cool?"

"Hehe, nothing."

Chen Xiao, who was already sitting in the team's video hall, thought of the scene when she came to the school team today, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden at all.

"Inexplicable."

Wade looked at the smirk on Chen Xiao's face and felt a little inexplicable.

The match between Marquette University and Loyola University is important for Chen Xiao's personal growth.

Again, this game is important for the future growth of Marquette University.

Loyola University's slap in the face of Marquette University has taught Marquette University a lot of things.

This game showed everyone that Codle Henry could not coexist with Wade and Ron Howard.

This game also showed everyone the fragility of Marquard's inside line.

Loyola University is not a top-notch team in the All-NCAA.

Such teams have 150 if not 200 in the entire NCAA.

No kidding, Loyola may be a powerhouse in their league, but in the league as a whole, the strength is not even up to average.

Marquette University, which owns Wade and Ron Howard, was thought to be able to sweep Loyola University before the game.

But the final result was disgraced by Loyola University, and it almost became an upset.

It's a shame and it's dissatisfying for the team's head coach, Tom Creon.

Tom Creon's coaching philosophy is to be on the outside and offensive, and in the three years he has been on the team, he has mainly recruited outside talents, which is very unique.

But he wasn't so maverick that he felt that the interior could be completely unimportant in a basketball game.

For any team, the building of the interior line is quite important.

Even if it's a team on the outside.

Marquette University may be close to the NCAA level right now.

There is no way to continue to build and strengthen the outer line.

The construction of the inner line will become especially important.

Tom Crane has always put building outside the center of his team's work.

After this game, after there were no more problems on the outside of the team, it was clear that he was going to change his focus.

This time, the team collectively watched the video of the last game and learned collectively, and Tom Crean and Tim Barkley also focused on the team's internal problems in this game.

The two of them were talking seriously with cold faces.

And Chen Xiao and the other players were sitting and listening.

Sometimes the two will praise Chen Xiao from time to time, which makes Chen Xiao feel a little happy in her heart.

But more of the two are still emphasizing the team's interior performance.

The performance of the team's two starting interior linemen, Merritt and Ennamarca, was disastrous in this match between Marquette University and Loyola University.

Under David Bailly and UCLA's air cut tactics, the two played like fools in the game.

Neither of them had a good night's sleep after last night's game, and their minds were full of David Bailly's lingering shadow.

Well, I got up early this morning, and the head coach slowed down and explained the tragic situation of the two last night, frame by frame.

This is simply a public execution of the two of them.

"Is there such a cruel side to the NCAA's tactical lectures?"

Chen Xiao really didn't know before, originally because collective learning is really learning.

"This picture is really bloody!"

Looking at Merritt and Ennamarca, who were specially called by the head coach to sit at the front, Chen Xiao felt a little sympathetic at the same time, and felt that his back began to feel a little cold.

"If I had been broken by David Bailly last night, I would have been asked to sit at the front, right?"

It's dangerous!

The picture of the team's collective learning this time is too 'bloody'.

It has caused a huge critical blow to Chen Xiao's somewhat 'young' mind.

So much so that Chen Xiao did not slow down after the team's collective learning.

"If we don't play well in the future, will this happen?"

"No, I'm not going to give Mr. Crane this chance!"

“……”

So confident?

"I never slack off in a game!"

Wade is really confident.

However, on a little thought, Wade is indeed not the kind of person who slacks off in the game and suddenly short-circuits.

"This time Mr. Crane brought up Merritt and Enamarca mainly because their mentality and state are not up to standard, the new NCAA season has begun, but their mentality and state are still in the offseason, they are out of touch with the current situation of the team, Mr. Crane is seriously warning them this time, generally speaking, as long as our state is not too outrageous, don't worry about this kind of thing, you can rest assured, Chen."

Is that so?

That's great!

Chen Xiao's current strength is that he can't see whether the disastrous match between Merritt and Ennamarca in the last game was because of his poor strength or bad state.

However, he still trusts Brother Luo's judgment.

This made Chen Xiao's little heart, which was 'frightened' just now, a little less fluttering.

If he really wants to behave poorly, he will be picked up and executed publicly, this is to kill him, a beginner!

Since the head coach didn't mean this, just beating those players with a 'lazy attitude', Chen Xiao was relieved.

His attitude is definitely not lazy!

At this point, he can be as confident as Wade.

Tom Crean and Tim Barkley's early morning rectification effect was indeed immediate.

Even a beginner like Chen Xiao can see that his teammates seem to have been beaten.

And Chen Xiao, who just added 3 points to his explosiveness last night, was even more excited.

With his current explosiveness and mid-range shooting, as long as he doesn't match Wade and Ron Howard in the team, he can really go sideways casually.

I used to be able to walk sideways, but now I can walk sideways and spin!

It's a big piece in one sweep!

"It's only been one night, and it's become so much stronger?!"

The Caudle Henry and Marquette players were really stunned.

Even Tom Crane and Tim Barkley, who are going to play the role of a serious Bao Gong today, have a 'serious and Bao Gong' like expressions on their faces.

The explosive power increase of 3 points is indeed immediate.

made Chen Xiao, the team's training ground tyrant, even more dominant.

"Abuse vegetables, it's really a cool batch, hahahaha!"

Looking at Chen Xiao, who was arrogantly floating up at this time, Wade found that he couldn't help but pull out the knife in his hand again.

I really want this kid to spiral into the sky!

"This kid just doesn't clean up!"

"But there are fewer and fewer people who can clean him up."

Ron Howard said with a smile.

On the evening of November 18, 2001, Marquette University hosted their second opponent of the season, Chicago State University.
