Chapter 887 The Greatness and Legend of Basketball!

Chen Xiao came to watch Xiao Chen play today. It was the first time this year that Chen Xiao came to watch Xiao Chen play in the NCAA National Championship.

Compared with James who always likes to watch Xiao Zhan's games, Chen Xiao rarely goes to watch Xiao Chen's games.

This is mainly to avoid putting pressure on Xiao Chen and his teammates.

Originally, as Chen Xiao's son, Xiao Chen attracted a lot of attention. Even if Xiao Chen had a personality like Duncan, he still couldn't stop his eye-catching qualities.

Therefore, the pressure on Xiao Chen is very high.

Jordan's son, Jordan, collapsed due to such pressure. It was Chen Xiao who saved him. Jordan then entered the professional league, entered the NBA, was selected as an All-Star, and became a member of the U.S. national team.

Xiao Chen can grow up and become a player comparable to Durant and Anthony in the NCAA. It can only be said that Chen Xiao is really lucky, and Xiao Chen's character plays a decisive role.

If it weren't for Xiao Chen's own character, let's just say that Chen Xiao's system was useless.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao looked at the expressionless Xiao Chen on the court, feeling satisfied in his heart.

Because of the arrival of Chen Xiao in this game, the father-son relationship between Chen Xiao and Xiao Chen, and the story of Xiao Chen's transformation from Chen Xiao's son to the father of an NBA star this season, became what Pierce said made TV The audience in front of the camera was extremely happy.

As an on-site commentator, I have to say that Pierce's mouth is still good.

As a famous star of the University of Kansas, Pierce was of course supporting his home team in this game, so he made crazy jokes about Xiao Chen and Chen Xiao before the game. Isn't this the right thing to do?

The former Marquette University star Travis Dina, who was also the commentator for this game, and one of the two claws of the Three Eagles back then, didn't have that many jokes.

This is not to say that Dina is not so eloquent. The main thing is that the Kansas team is not so interesting and does not have so many stories.

This team can even be compared to the Spurs without Duncan in history. They are ordinary to the extreme and team to the extreme.

However, although Pierce was crazy about Chen Xiao and his son before the game, after the game started, Pierce quickly focused his attention on the court.

The five starting players for Kansas in this game are guards, Dajuan Harris, Christian Brown, small forward, Abaji, power forward Jaylen Wilson, center, and David McCormack.

Kansas' starting lineup is the regular starting lineup, and there is no change from the past. The point guard is 1.85 meters, the shooting guard is 1.98 meters, the small forward is 1.96 meters, and the tallest center is 2.08 meters.

This is actually the regular lineup of the NCAA. The height level of the NCAA is basically one level lower than the NBA.

And this is one of the important reasons why Xiao Chen is able to dominate the NCAA.

Xiao Chen has now grown to 2.03 meters, and his wingspan has exceeded 2.20 meters. With such a height and wingspan, coupled with very undisciplined muscles and confrontation, plus the textbook perfection like Duncan Basic skills.

Let's put it this way, Xiao Chen's attributes really have no rival in the NCAA.

Even if his athletic ability is on the same level as Doncic, isn't Doncic also playing well in the NBA?

Xiao Chen's style is similar to Doncic's, but Doncic's breakthrough and passing are stronger, while Xiao Chen's shooting and defense are stronger.

Generally speaking, the two seniors Xiao Chen, Doncic and Gao Bo had the same strength before entering the NBA. Before entering the NBA, the three of them were all A-level.

Xiao Chen's current strength is A-, and it is impossible for Xiao Chen to break through in a short time.

If he wants to be promoted from A- to A-level, Xiao Chen needs to polish his own strength in the NBA like Gao Bo and Doncic, and polish his advantages to be stronger.

Let's put it this way, Xiao Chen, who is now in the NCAA, seems to be very good in all attributes.

But this is all false. In fact, it is not that powerful. If Xiao Chen cannot improve his multiple attributes to above 90 in the NBA, then he will not be able to become an A-level player. No matter how strong he is, he will still be an A-level player. An A-level player with 85 attributes.

Now Xiao Chen has attributes of about 80-85.

Knows everything, but is not so proficient in anything.

Of course, in the NCAA, even if you have an attribute of 80 or 85, it is still super powerful.

Chen Xiao himself has played in the NCAA. Back then, he had a mid-range shot of 80 and combined with his height and wingspan, he could kill in the NCAA.

At that time, Chen Xiao didn't have the strength of Xiao Chen. He mainly had a lot of novice cheats on him, and all kinds of cheats were crazy.

Because Xiao Chen is famous this season, from the beginning of the game, the players from the University of Kansas specifically asked the team's star Abaji to closely defend Xiao Chen.

Find a player who can specifically talk to Xiao Chen.

In the NBA, only super giants like Chen Xiao, Curry, Durant, and Antetokounmpo have such treatment.

There is no doubt that in the NCAA, Xiao Chen is a player of this level.

Ordinary college players, even those with outstanding talent, will find it difficult to face such a defensive method. A person is sticking to you like candy, and you can't make any moves at all.

If your skills are not good enough, you have no offensive space, and you cannot dribble the ball, you will naturally become more and more anxious as you play.

But Xiao Chen on the court...

"I have never seen a perimeter player as calm and skilled as Moon in the NCAA. He can pick and roll, screen, run, post up, and face up to three threats. It seems that there is nothing he can't do."

"I can now understand why Marquette fans nicknamed him Son from the beginning and now call him 'Luna.'"

"Moon has a moon-like temperament about him, cold. In his body, you can see the ultimate coldness. He is like the moon god descending from the mortal world, shining brightly in the coldness!"

Like the moon, like the moon god, shining brightly in the coldness!

I have to say that Xiao Chen's nickname in the NCAA is really good.

When Chen Xiao first heard that Xiao Chen had a nickname like Moon God, he was really satisfied.

Because Xiao Chen was born on the Mid-Autumn Festival, his nickname is Little Moon, and his given name is the name given by his mother, Chen Muen. Muen means bathing in grace. Her mother fell in love with Chen Xiao back then. , isn’t this the blessing of God, otherwise it wouldn’t be such a coincidence.

At the same time, Mu'en also means Moon in transliteration, commemorating the fact that Xiao Chen was born on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

All I can say is that everything is such a coincidence.

"Watching Xiao Chen play ball is really a joy to watch!"

Looking at Xiao Chen who was killing everyone on the court, Da Yao next to Chen Xiao looked appreciative.

To be honest, as the chairman of the Basketball Association, as Chen Xiao is getting older, it is really a blessing for Chinese basketball to have such an outstanding rising star emerge.

Especially the player Xiao Chen is different from other players.

For example, American players first serve to enter the NBA, and first to establish themselves in the NBA and become famous.

Let's put it this way, American players play basketball with American rules.

Therefore, when very American players like Lillard come to the FIBA ​​arena, they are basically discounted in half, and if not half in strength, they are at least 20% off.

As for Xiao Chen, his characteristics are almost entirely for FIBA.

This is really important to Chinese basketball.

The combination of Xiao Chen and Gao Bo will make Chinese basketball worry-free for at least 10 years in the future.

Therefore, every time he saw Xiao Chen, Gao Bo and Zhou Qi, he thought of him, Chen Xiao and Ah Lian back then.

Of course, for now, the strength of the three of them is definitely not as good as the three of them back then, but all three of them have good potential.

It is difficult for Xiao Chen to surpass Xiao Chen, but it is very possible for Gao Bo to catch up with him and Zhou Qi to catch up with Ah Lian.

The important thing is that although Xiao Chen cannot surpass Xiao Chen, his playing style is the same as Xiao Chen, a perfect FIBA ​​player.

Under FIBA's rules, Xiao Chen was even able to play from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position.

By the way, saying that Xiao Chen is a FIBA-type player does not mean that Xiao Chen cannot play in the NBA. Whether it is NBA basketball or FIBA ​​basketball, they are both basketballs. In fact, they are all in common.

As long as you can do your best, you can take care of each other.

For example, Durant, if he can play the NBA to the extreme, then he can also play FIBA ​​to the extreme.

FIBA and NBA are just two different roads leading to the ultimate. When you reach the end, everyone is actually standing in the same place.

Of course, it does make a difference if you don't reach the finish line.

Let's talk about Xiao Chen. In this March Madness, Xiao Chen scored 30+ points per game and performed as well as his father. However, his draft pick was always predicted to be in the top three, not first.

It is because many experts are worried about Xiao Chen's athletic ability that he is not that good in the NBA.

Let's put it this way, Doncic's athletic ability is above average, but his breakthrough can make up for his lack of athletic ability.

As for Xiao Chen, his breakthrough is not that good, which means that when he reaches the NBA, he will not have such good escape ability.

When you can't get rid of the defensive player and the defensive player can stick to you, can your shot still be so accurate?

This is actually a big question mark.

This is why the draft selects talent.

If you have athletic talent, you have a lot of future.

If you're not that athletic, you're going to lose a lot of your future.

It can only be said that like father, like son. In the 2002 draft, Chen Xiao was not favored because of his lack of athletic ability. Even before the draft, his prospects were only in the late first round or early second round.

However, because of Jordan's intervention, Chen Xiao's draft pick soared, and he was eventually snatched away by the Nets with the seventh overall pick.

Of course, Xiao Chen is much happier now than Chen Xiao back then.

Because he has a father who is the biggest counterattacker in basketball history, many people are betting on whether Xiao Chen will develop a second time like his father when he comes to the NBA, and develop his originally not very good athletic ability into a top-notch one.

Therefore, Xiao Chen's draft pick prediction has always been in the top five.

Of course, the highest is also in the top three.

The top three means that the top three may include the top pick.

Let's put it this way, if a black player with excellent athletic ability performs like Xiao Chen in March Madness this year, he will definitely be the top pick.

Before the game between Marquette University and the University of Kansas, public opinion was almost overwhelmingly in favor of Marquette University. There was no way, Chen Xiao's son led the team, and he was treated like this.

Under such great pressure, Xiao Chen was not overwhelmed by the pressure.

This is something that makes Kansas head coach Bill Self very uncomfortable.

In the public opinion environment before the game, he really felt that the University of Kansas had a chance.

Let's put it this way, the two teams are Xiao Chen and the other is an NCAA superstar. Both teams play team defense.

In the semifinals against North Carolina, Kansas did not score 70 points.

Kansas has averaged 78 points per game and allowed 67 points per game all season.

This is an offense that does not have a super giant and relies on team defense and the tacit understanding of its senior players to make it all the way.

As for Marquette University, it relies on the cohesion of the team and other players' crazy defense, just like Mutombo Iverson's 76ers in history. Everyone defended like crazy, while Xiao Chen It's a crazy attack.

In Self's prediction, the defenses of the two teams in this game were half-matched and the scoring would not be very high. The final victory depended on Kansas' team offense and Xiao Chen's individual singles.

If Xiao Chen is affected by this crazy public opinion pressure and feels abnormal, then the final winner will be Kansas.

If Xiao Chen does not perform abnormally, Kansas will not be able to beat Marquette University, which has a super giant and a very team-oriented team.

The 76ers back then needed two superstars, O'Neal and Kobe, to hold them down.

There was only one super giant Spurs back then. In that year's regular season, they met Iverson, and Iverson scored 40 points on 17-of-29 games, leading the 76ers to a 100-83 victory by 17 points.

This is a team with a super offensive super team.

This season, the Spurs won another game. In the game the Spurs won, 7 Spurs scored in double figures, while only two of the 76ers scored in double figures. Iverson scored 21 points. In the end, the 76ers were defeated.

And this is also a team with a super offensive super giant.

Of course Self hopes that Marquette will play like Iverson who scored 21 points.

However, in the end, in this game between Marquette University and the University of Kansas, Xiao Chen made 12 of 27 shots, 5 of 13 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored a game-high 35 points. At the same time, In six consecutive games, Xiao Chen has scored more than 30 points. This is a historic performance.

In the end, in this much-anticipated game, Xiao Chen led Marquette University to defeat the University of Kansas 74-64.

In the end, Xiao Chen also won the final MOP.

By the way, the person who presented the MOP trophy to Xiao Chen and the championship trophy to Marquette University this time was none other than Chen Xiao.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao sent the championship trophy and MOP trophy to Xiao Chen, Pierce, who was the commentator of this game, couldn't help but be moved.

"This is one of the most legendary moments in NCAA history!"

"Both father and son dominate the NCAA!"

"And now, they will all appear in the NBA and will rule the NBA!"

"This is the greatness of this father and son, this is also the greatness and legend of basketball!"
