Chapter 44: What Happened?

Chapter 44

On the last day of 1995, Qin Fei was as usual.

Get up early, run in the morning, eat, rest, train

Helena told Qin Fei the phone number of her dormitory, and Qin Fei went to the phone booth to make a call at night.

"What's your wish for the new year?"

Helena's voice sounded a little sweet.

"New year? Hope to be a starter!"

This is not a wish at all, but more like a goal of Qin Fei.

But Qin Fei knows how difficult this goal is. With his current technical style, the coach will not put Page, who is more accurate in long-range shots, on the bench, because Page is not suitable to be a sixth man at all, and he can open up more space for Iverson.

So if he wants to be in the top position, the only possibility is that Paige is injured ahem. It's a bit dark to think like this, and it's even more inappropriate to use it to make a wish.

"What about you?" Qin Fei asked.

"Don't tell you!"

Helena snorted arrogantly.

"It's better if you don't say it, it's better if you don't say it." Qin Fei found a step for himself.

Helena was in a hurry: "No, it's very clever to say it!"

What she was worried about was that Qin Fei had said his "wish" just now, and if he said it, it would not work well, wouldn't it be impossible for him to make his wish come true?

At the beginning of January, the students who finished the winter vacation began to return to school one after another.

The school gradually opened restaurants, libraries and other places, and its popularity continued to rise.

Occasionally there will be snow, but it does not affect the training of Qin Fei and others.

Qin Fei never expected that the opportunity to fulfill his wish would come so soon. During the training on January 1, Victor Page sprained his ankle and needed a truce for half a month.

Page's injury was not serious. He himself was a little depressed. He is also a senior this year. Every game is very important, which is related to whether he can find a job.

Qin Fei has a weird face. If he knew it was so effective, he would make a wish to be the boss of the team.

As soon as Page was injured, the guard's starting position was vacant. Who is the right replacement?

In the end, head coach John Thompson decided to appoint Qin Fei, a freshman.

Qin Fei was already the sixth man of the team, and it was reasonable to be promoted to the starting lineup, but many players in the second team were extremely embarrassed.

This big brother's promotion speed is too fast. A few months ago, everyone was a partner of the second team, but now they can only look up to him.

Not long after Qin Fei was promoted to the starting lineup, the team went to Florida to challenge the University of Miami Hurricanes.

This team joined the Big East League in 1991, and later left the league in 2004. From the perspective of terrain, it is too far away from Washington and other Big East cities, so it is quite inconvenient to play a game.

Since Page was injured, Thompson did not take Page with him and let him recuperate in school.

And reduced the number of people traveling, only took twelve people on the roster plus assistant coaches and team leaders, a total of fifteen people went to Florida.

Miami is the warmest city in the United States, with an average temperature of nearly 20 degrees in January.

As can be seen from the name of the University of Miami team, the hurricanes in this place are relatively active. The hurricane season starts in June and even lasts until November.

So Qin Fei and the others wore heavy cotton-padded clothes before they left Washington, but they changed into light coats when they arrived in Miami.

The strength of the Hurricanes is average. In the top NCAA leagues like the Big East, they can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches. Even if you are a little more confident, you can go to the "medium".

And Georgetown University is currently undefeated, and the winning streak has attracted widespread attention in the basketball world.

One strong and one weak, life and death can be predicted almost directly.

But it is home after all, and the most indispensable thing in the NCAA is a dark horse. Who said that the weak will definitely lose?There was a boat overturned in the gutter!

On this day, the home court of the Hurricanes was flooded with many fans in orange clothes.

These fans have inherited the fanatical basketball atmosphere in Miami. Before the game started, they made a lot of noise and heated up the arena rapidly.

Before the match between the two teams started, a few black men suddenly poured in outside the arena, attracting the attention of the audience. The fans gave applause and cheers when they saw these people.

Qin Fei and the others turned their heads to look, good guy, each with a big gold chain and a small gold watch, dressed like a club.

"It's the star of the Miami Heat!"

"My God, it's Alonzo!"

In the Hoya team, the sophomore Jahidi White is Alonzo Mourning's loyal fanboy. When he saw his idol, he was surprised and surprised.

Qin Fei remembered that Alonzo Mourning was also a high-quality center produced by the Georgetown Hoyas. Today, the Hoyas went to Miami for a game, and it was reasonable for him to come and see the juniors.

Sure enough, Alonzo Mourning said something to Kevin Wesley and Bimbo Coles beside him, and then he walked up to the Hoya team and hugged his mentor John Thompson.

At this time, Alonzo Mourning was only 26 years old and was at the peak of his career. This season, he averaged 23.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game with the Heat. He is one of the hottest big men in the league.

And 2.7 blocks is still Mourning's career low in the fourth year of entering the league. This guy is a master who averaged 3.5 blocks per game in his rookie season.

Don’t be surprised, this era is the era of insiders. There are too many insiders. The four major centers, Dikembe Mutombo, Mourning, and Bradley, including Garnett and Duncan at the power forward position, are all masters in blocking shots, averaging more than 2 shots per game.

Mourning came here to have a few words with his mentor, and then left without chatting with the juniors, because there was not enough time, and the game was about to start.

This made Jia Xidi, who is a little fan, very melancholy, only regretting that he didn't bring a marker pen, otherwise he would have asked for an autograph.

Mourning and others sat in the stands, and some enthusiastic University of Miami fans around asked them to sign.

The game started immediately, and Qin Fei took off his jacket, revealing his No. 41 jersey.

"Whoo~"

He let out a sigh of relief, and after completing the pre-match "pump up" with Iverson and others, he walked onto the basketball court.

Some scouts followed the scene in Miami, and they were shocked. The Chinese guard of the Hoya team became the starter?

In the NCAA, starters and substitutes are two concepts, and few substitute players can be selected for the NBA.

And as long as he becomes a starter in the first division of the NCAA league, even if he can't enter the NBA in the future, it is not a big problem to be a professional player in a lower league.

It's a completely different feeling than starting in a friendly.

In the midst of everyone's attention, when he stepped onto the court, it seemed that countless eyes were staring at him. On this stage, he had an illusion that I was the protagonist.

It's no wonder that so many players get hotheaded when they hit the game, and they are really easy to get lost.

Qin Fei thought to himself that fortunately, he also started as a substitute, playing steadily and without rushing, so he had experience.

The referee was a black man with a moustache, who looked serious. After communicating with the head coaches of the two teams, he walked onto the basketball court and prepared to kick off.

Di-

With a whistle, the basketball went straight into the air.

The two inside players on the center line jumped up at the same time, and Ossela jumped to the ball.

Qin Fei and Iverson played together in the backcourt. Iverson played the point guard position, and Qin Fei played the shooting guard. After reaching the frontcourt, he walked down the line and stood in the corner.

Iverson faced the opposing defender one-on-one.

The opponent also knew Iverson's name, so he didn't dare to be careless.

Iverson made two strides and then broke through with his left hand. He swung his shoulders and changed his direction sharply to his right hand. This change of direction alone threw off a position, and he took off easily to shoot and hit two points steadily.

Concise, wide range, fast, one-to-one basically no solution.

Some of the new University of Miami fans watching the game couldn't help applauding, but they were stopped by the old fans, "Don't applaud indiscriminately, it will boost the morale of the enemy."

The Hurricanes were also advancing very fast. They played a tactic of cutting forwards and guards. The small forwards were feints, and the shooting guards caught the ball and really attacked the frame.

The quality of the cover was mediocre, and Qin Fei kept sticking to the opposite defender and did not let him get away.

He drove Qin Fei to the basket.

Qin Fei waited for him to make a shot, without looking at the rebound, and just rushed forward.

This is the fast-break habit that I developed after working with Iverson a lot. Anyway, Georgetown's inside line is strong, and it's not a big problem for him to protect alone without rebounds in the backcourt.

The Hurricanes didn't know this routine, and the shooting guard who landed staggered because of the confrontation, and failed to catch up with Qin Fei.

Jerome caught the rebound under the basket. At this time, Qin Fei had rushed to the front. Jerome took two steps forward and handed it to Iverson who was supporting him.

Iverson didn't stop taking the ball, and flicked it forward, throwing out the taste of a quarter.

The fans at the scene only saw the basketball crossing the half court in the air, and a figure running crazily.

Received the basketball within the three-point line and took a dribble.

"Fuck, where are our defenders?"

"Bang!"

Qin Fei grabbed the basketball with one hand, and pressed it into the basket like a fire.

Actually completed a flying dunk during the fast break!

"Clap"

A wonderful dunk, many people applauded again.

The new University of Miami fans turned to look at the applauding old fans with doubts in their eyes.

The old fan coughed dryly, raised the flag solemnly, and shouted: "Hurricane!"

Like a conditioned reflex, the new fans immediately shouted: "We must win!"

"hurricane!"

"Definitely!"

Qin Fei saw that the atmosphere at home is really good. Miami is indeed a place full of enthusiasm.
