NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 53 The Dust Settles (4K)

"Hey, brother." After warmly celebrating with his teammates, Chen Xiao walked up to Nongmei who was standing there blankly, and said with one hand on Nongmei's shoulder.

"Don't make a sad face, okay? This is just a part of our life. Remember what Duncan said to James, the future belongs to you. The future belongs to our young people." Seeing the thick eyebrows, the eyes recovered.

Chen Xiao added: "This is just a loss. When you enter the alliance, you still have a chance to be repaired by me. Boy."

Before Nongmei could swing his old fist, Chen Xiao turned his head and ran away.

Standing quietly with thick eyebrows, his eyes followed the man who had brought him the greatest frustration, and his heart was secretly ruthless.I'm going to train hard this summer, I'm going to gain weight, next time we meet, I'll fuck Chen Xiao to death.

……

After comforting the thick eyebrows, Chen Xiao, who was about to go back to find his teammates, saw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the broadcast stand.

I saw the template real person, as an old senior, it's not appropriate not to say hello, right?

Maybe the system also has some kind of inheritance function. Once the old man appreciates it, he will directly bring Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 71. Doesn’t that just take off?The imaginative Chen Xiao let go of his wild thoughts.

Walking towards the broadcast booth, the civilized and polite Chen Xiao was a little hesitant.

What do you call it?Why is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar now 6 or 70 years old, what do you call him?Master Jia?Or just call Karim?

It happened that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Nanci had finished chatting and saw Chen Xiao approaching.

"Mr. Kareem, I'm Chen Xiao. I'm your big fan." Mr. Ming was always right, and Chen Xiao walked quickly to the imitation person and said hello.

After all, he is his first template, and his ability has a lot to do with him, and he is a senior in the basketball world, so it is always right to be polite.

And after watching too many Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's videos and highlights, Chen Xiao has indeed been overwhelmed by Tiangou's demeanor.

"Chen. Just call me Kareem. You did a great job today." Jabbar responded with a slight smile.

Nanci, who was at the side of the commentary stand, was also a little surprised to see Chen Xiao coming. The live broadcast was not over yet, so he just made a joke and brought up some topics.

"Hey, Chen, congratulations, you dominated the final." Nanci called Chen to come and sit down, which is equivalent to doing an interview on the spot.

"Thank you." Chen Xiao thanked politely.

"Before this match, Kareem and I were still discussing whether you learned your hook from him, just like Kareem learned kung fu from Bruce Lee.

You can skyhook, I'm actually not that surprised.I'm not as surprised as a lot of people are that you hooked up with Karim. "

Nantz pointed out the topics discussed, and I believe the audience before the signal is also very interested.

"Of course, when I started playing, I was taller than my peers, you know, if you're a big guy and you get to the basket, it takes away from the fun of the game.

Maybe other kids won't play with you, and you will lose your buddy on the court.

But I don't want to shoot too far from the perimeter where I can't control the rebound.

By chance, I saw the highlights of Kareem and Wilt Chamberlain, and I started practicing hooks. "

Chen Xiao organized his language and told a half-truth and half-false story.After all, someone will always ask these questions. An experience that can be justified and enriched is very important.

After some chatting, the team staff greeted Chen Xiao to cut the Nets.

Back in the team, the first person to meet him is naturally No. 1 or 2 - Quinn Cook.

"Hey, that's not right. The coach cuts first, and the other brothers cut first." Chen Xiao sincerely evaded after taking the scissors that Cook graciously handed over.

However, the people of the country have no history and don't understand the traditional culture of "three pushes and three yields". After Chen Xiao evaded it once, the other teammates seemed to be unable to understand the words and were a little ready to move.

A team can only have one core. For the harmony of the team, Chen Xiao had no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient. He pulled the rebellious Rivers behind him and walked towards the Nets without hesitation.

Removing the brand ladder arranged by the competition, Chen Xiao lightly tiptoed, reached out normally, grabbed the net with his left hand, and waved the scissors with his right.

"Click", "click", easily cut off the Nets in the flashing lights of the media reporters all over the basket, leaving another moment of relish after the game.

After winning the symbolic trophy of the Nets, the next step is naturally the awarding session, to accept the real honor on the podium.

After receiving the championship hat from the staff, Chen Xiao, who had seen Duke's championship hat for the past two years, took a closer look at the new hat.

Different from the blue and black color scheme of the past two years, this year is a brand new black and gold color scheme, with the words of the national champion first printed on it, and a shield-shaped Duke logo on one side of the ball cap.

On the head, well, the size is just right.

"Chen, come here quickly!"

Hearing the old K's call, Chen Xiao stepped up to the podium, stood beside the coach, waved his arms to the tens of thousands of Blue Devils fans who stayed in the arena to witness the moment of honor, and enjoyed the roar of "MOP".

After the whole team stood up, the NCAA officials carried the gold championship trophy to the whole team and handed it to the old coach K.

The old coach K took the trophy and raised the championship trophy aloft for the fifth time in the face of tens of thousands of enthusiastic eyes.

Then he passed the trophy to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao took the trophy and looked at the championship trophy that he won after five levels and six generals. Regardless of the previous games, today's match really made Chen Xiao feel the charm of the crazy three of "lose one game and be eliminated".

After lightly kissing the rim of the cup, he held it up high, full of vigor.

When everyone was passing the trophy, the host of the awards ceremony handed the microphone to Old K and asked enthusiastically: "Coach, congratulations on creating a fantastic season.

From the No. [-] seed to successive victories over Ohio State and Michigan State to reach the finals, and finally overwhelmed the No. [-] seed Kentucky to reach the top in an anxious situation. What do you want to say about the experience along the way? "

"It's special, it's special. We faced lows and bounced back strong. We showed that Duke is always going to be a champion.

With our sweat, dedication off the field, supreme courage, and unremitting struggle, we finally won this trophy. "

In this championship journey, we have many witnesses of the 2010 championship, and they laid the foundation for our team.

At the same time, the newly joined players this year, they quickly became a real blue devil, dedicating everything to the team's victory.

Here I have to mention Chen Xiao, he is our biggest surprise this year, and he is also the biggest surprise of world basketball this year.

I still remember one afternoon, out of the blue he walked into our practice facility and said he wanted to play for the Blue Devils.

OK, I let this big man try out with the mentality of giving it a try. As a result, his performance soon shocked all of us present.

You have also seen the results afterwards. As the leader of the Blue Devils, he led Duke to win this championship. "

Old K generously attributed the victory to Chen Xiao, but everyone present understood that this was not exaggeration or bragging, it was a real and objective evaluation.

The NCAA officials saw that the audience had already turned their attention to Chen Xiao, so they took advantage of the opportunity to announce the MOP for the semi-finals of this tournament.

Is there suspense?Not at all.

陈逍锦标赛6场比赛场均轰下30.8分14.6篮板2.3助攻7.1记封盖1.2次抢断的变态数据，4强赛表现再度升级，共拿下62分33篮板16记封盖。

The statistics are astonishing, and the performance on the court is even more astonishing.The last 90 seconds of today's final directly buried Kentucky's efforts for a season.

Is there room for discussion at the MOP?Just award it.

The host also strikes while the iron is hot: "Congratulations, Chen. Receiving this award, which symbolizes the most outstanding player in the final stage of the NCAA, also means that your freshman season is coming to an end.

What are your plans for next season?Back to school, or professional stage? "

Hearing the host's question, the audience fell silent for a rare moment. Everyone knew that Chen Xiao was an indispensable core of Duke University. As a diehard Blue Devils loyalist, they certainly knew that Chen Xiao's stay would help Duke sprint towards consecutive championships.

However, the development of professional basketball in recent years has made "leaving in one year" the norm. Players with high draft prospects basically do not stay for more than a year.

Even the old K, who once required the Blue Devils players to play for four years in college, has changed with the times and made changes early
Last year's Kyrie Irving was a prime example.

After taking the microphone, Chen Xiao hesitated a little.

Of course, the hesitation is not whether to participate in the election, but to participate in the election, there is no reason to continue to stay in the pond of college basketball.

But whether to declare candidacy at this moment, there are many points to consider.

From the perspective of maximizing personal interests, holding a press conference to announce his candidacy or something else is a good choice.

And at this moment of glory for the Duke Blue Devils, it is better to leave the headlines and attention to the team. This is the last thing Chen Xiao did for the team before leaving college.

"It's a great honor to receive the MOP award. This shows that the sports association has watched the game, and they are not bureaucrats who don't watch the game. After all, I haven't seen a player who is more outstanding than me."

The audience roared with laughter, and the official sharp commentary is the favorite of old molders.Besides, there's nothing wrong with it, except for the blind, no one would think that MOP will leave others alone.No, blind people can know who the MOP is even after listening to the commentary.

He is about to leave campus basketball. After a year of training, Chen Xiao is no longer the ignorant boy who just came here.

The childishness and excessive humility brought about by strangeness have long since faded away with the integration into this arrogant and arrogant social environment.

What's mine is what's mine.It's not mine, so I have to try my best to fight and grab it.There is no soil for survival in this place where there is no history and where the flowers of evil bloom.

Seeing everyone's joyful expressions, Chen Xiao shrugged, paused and continued, "As for the next step, I still need to think further with my coach and those who care and support me.

No matter what I choose, Duke is my alma mater and I love her.This will not change. "

The last sentence has actually been hinted at, but it is not clear on this occasion.

……

It's a crazy night, Monday night.

Champagne, whiskey, brandy and even vodka, under the celebration and revelry of the crowd, Chen Xiao's body, which has not been invaded by alcohol, soon fell into a deep sleep.

Big bright the next day.

Chen Xiao opened his eyes and found that he was occupying the huge bed alone, and the other bed in the room turned out to be Seth Curry and Quinn Cook, two Ku-style brothers hugging each other and sleeping soundly.

Woc, isn't it the carnival night that was promised, why are I in the same room with these two guys.

Chen Xiao shook his head, stood up, and kicked the two of them awake.

"FxxK, who?" The moment Cook opened his eyes, he was face to face with Curry.

He jumped up in fright, touched the crumpled clothes on his body, and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, only a familiar voice came from beside him.

"Take it easy, Quinn. No one is interested in you." Chen Xiao said with interest as he looked at the two who had just released from the entanglement.

At this time, Curry also woke up from a daze, and complained after seeing Chen Xiao: "Chen, you were too drunk yesterday, and Cook and I lost the chance to have a carnival night because of you."

"Yeah, Seth and I had a hard time carrying you back." Cook also reacted and complained together.

"OK, OK, I understand. I'll arrange it." Chen Xiao raised his hand to salute the French military. These two are good brothers, so they didn't say anything.

……

A few days after the match, Chen Xiao only felt that one person was really useless.

An announcement here, congratulations on winning this year's John Wooden Player of the Year Award.

An announcement over there, congratulations on winning this year's Oscar Robertson Award.

AP Player of the Year, Adolph Rupp Award, Pete Newell Insider Award, Lefty Driesel Award (Defensive Player of the Year), USA Basketball Writers Association Player of the Year (USBWA Player of the Year), National Association of Basketball Coaches Player of the Year (NABC Player of the Year) and more...

As long as it was the best player, Chen Xiao's name was filled in all of them. As for the defensive awards, best team awards, and rookie awards for some subordinates, Chen Xiao didn't take them all. After all, he had to leave food for other players.

The latest issue of Sports Illustrated put Chen Xiao on the cover alone. On the cover, Chen Xiao was wearing a Duke championship hat and holding a championship trophy in his hand, while a bunch of individual awards were posted beside him.

The whole portrait seemed to be submerged in the sea of ​​awards.

But when Chen Xiao saw this issue of Sports Illustrated, his first reaction was not to be proud of taking the honor, but, my money? !
It’s fine if you don’t have the money to publish in such a big journal, so you can do publicity anyway.

But when Chen Xiao met fans asking for autographs on the road, he found that many of these fans were holding posters with this year's "shining moment" printed on them.

Every year, the NCAA Association will launch this year's "shining moment" after the end of the crazy three. Naturally, this year's Chen Xiao's dominance moment at the final moment of the final is indispensable.

This kind of poster is pure fan money, and has nothing to do with the owner.

They used my portrait to make money, but they gave me 0 cents, and all the money went to the NCAA Association.

Chen Xiao, who worked for a year for nothing, can finally get rid of the purest basketball of the NCAA.

The most urgent task now is to determine your own agent.

　Two in one, starting tomorrow will be normal 2 updates.
