The NBA system urges me to pay back the money

Chapter 16 16. Everything is a routine
.
After defeating Brigham Young University and entering the second round, Creighton University's opponent is also freshly baked-Texas A&M University.

Texas A&M's talent is mediocre, and none of them are selected for the draft prediction list.But this does not mean that Texas A&M University is weak. On the contrary, Texas A&M players are relatively average in each position. They are very resilient and will not collapse easily.

Due to the relatively short interval (only one day away from the first round), Qin Xiong did not immediately use his points to purchase skills and equipment.Because he didn't know if the Blue Jays could beat Texas A&M. If they couldn't, a lot of points would be wasted.

If he hadn't drawn an unexpected god-level skill [Capture] for the 800 points last time, he would definitely be at a loss. 800 points are enough to buy an A-level skill!
This time he was more cautious.

If he can pass Texas A&M and enter the Sweet 16, then he can adjust according to his needs; if he can't pass, he plans to think about it during the vacation and prepare for next season.

But he is not unprepared to face Texas Agricultural Machinery.He used the B-level skill [Defense] he captured in the previous game.Spending 80 points to purchase 8 hours of [Advanced Training], relying on [Advanced Training], he was fully compatible with [Defense] overnight, and was fully prepared for the battle against Texas Agricultural Machinery.

On the 23rd, the two sides fought fiercely at the United Center Arena.The average strength of Texas Agricultural Machinery is stronger than that of Creighton University, but Korver of Creighton University has a unique skill, and there is a bug of Qin Xiong. The two sides fought fiercely until the last minute, and Korver only used a three-pointer from the wing. The ball kills the game.

Creighton stumbles into the Sweet 16.

Qin Xiong scored 13 points in this game: 16 points for completing special tasks (helping the team advance to the Sweet 10), and 3 points for hitting three three-pointers.

Before the start of the game, he also used [Capture] to target the players of Texas A&M University. However, he didn't feel good in this field. He only scored 14 points in 18 shots, and he didn't even meet the minimum requirements. [Capture] requires 30 points higher than the locked player, and he doesn't even have 30 points.

Qin Xiong was not depressed either, this situation was completely within his expectations, if he could score more than 30+ points in every game, then his name would have already been on the draft list predicted by the major media!

……

After passing the second round, Creighton University's good luck ended, and they will face Xavier University, which has star power forward David West.

Xavier University is the second-seeded team in the Southern Division, and David West is a powerful presence in the NCAA.

在泽维尔大学效力期间，韦斯特总共出战了126场比赛，场均交出16.9分、10.4个篮板、2.1次助攻的成绩单。这个赛季泽维尔火枪手在韦斯特的带领下，泽维尔火枪手队打出了平队史最佳战绩的表现（26胜6负）。韦斯特本人则凭借场均20.1分、11.8个篮板、3.2次助攻的全面表现入选美联社评选的全美第一阵容，并当选了2003年度全美最佳球员。

Facing such an opponent, the generals of Creighton University can imagine their feelings.But everyone is satisfied with reaching the Sweet 16. This is the best result in the history of Creighton University. They are all creators of history, and they personally participated in and witnessed the birth of new history.

If it ends like this, it's really not a big deal.

Qin Xiong thought so!

As far as the strength of Creighton University is concerned, it is really lucky to be able to get to this point.Duke, a famous super basketball school, was eliminated in the second round. Compared with Duke, is Creighton University unlucky?
All into the round of 16!

Qin Xiong plans to continue his development at Creighton University. Anyway, he is only a freshman, so he has enough time to spend his time in college.Korver can't do it. Korver is eager to prove himself. He is already a senior. As long as Creighton University is eliminated, he will go to the NBA.

He is more anxious than Qin Xiong.

If he can beat West's Xavier University, his draft ranking will undoubtedly improve significantly.And starting from the sweet 16, the exposure of players has increased geometrically, which is what Korver desperately needs.

But the reality is that Creighton University's strength is not enough to support Korver's ambitions.If Qin Xiong is willing to support Korver desperately, maybe Korver can get closer to his ideal.

But Qin Xiong would not do this. He and Korver are ordinary teammates, and the relationship is ordinary. If it is a good friend Michael, it will be another story.

Qin Xiong can only use 654 points at present, originally it was 734 points, but he used 80 points before, and now there are only so many points left.Moreover, he has a huge debt of 1500 points, so it is impossible to fully support Korver.

When Korver approached him for support, he said yes.Without using reserve points, he will do his best to support Korver.If he can beat West's Xavier University, he is also happy.

But the whole team is very satisfied except for Korver, including head coach McDermott.Instead of dreaming unrealistic dreams, it is better to face reality calmly.And he led the team to the Sweet 16, and at least he can share a bonus of 10 US dollars.

Unlike players who belong to free labor, college head coaches are paid, although McDermott's salary is a bit lower.However, after leading the team to the Sweet 16, McDermott can get a large bonus and a salary increase after the season. Can he not be satisfied?
But after receiving another call, McDermott immediately swept away his previous satisfaction and became extremely serious.

He convened a meeting with the members of the uniform team overnight to unify the thinking of the uniform team; the next day he convened a tactical meeting with all the players to inform his disciples that capitulationism was not acceptable.

"Although Xavier University is more famous than us and stronger than us on paper, it is not just luck that we have come to where we are today!" McDermott waved his arms vigorously, making himself look quite imposing: "We have Kyle , with Jack, Hopps, Henry and Michael and a large number of outstanding players, we don’t need to be inferior to others, and we must not admit defeat easily... If the winner is determined by paper strength, we will not be where we are today!"

The bluebirds in the conference room were excited by McDermott's speech, and Qin Xiong was no exception.Everyone didn't notice the abnormality of the head coach, but thought that the head coach didn't want to be sent home by Xavier University in such a dismal manner.

Many years later, Qin Xiong knew the truth of the matter—the school board assured McDermott that as long as he could lead the team to the Elite Eight, he would be given a bonus of 50 yuan. The previous team leadership bonus was not included in the 50 yuan. .

Routine!

Everything is a routine!
But Qin Xiong didn't know it at this time, he was overwhelmed by the head coach's impassioned words.Although Xavier University is powerful, Creighton University is not without strength to fight back, and he also has advantages that West does not have.

If you really want to do your best, it's not certain who will win the game!

He is planning to do his best and put all his eggs in one basket!

Poor child, so innocent!
　Seeking recommendations!
