Chapter 22 Good Morning(1/2)
On Sunday, April 22, 2001, American time, early in the morning, Chen Xiao got up in a refreshing mood.
“I had a good dream last night.”
Chen Xiao smiled and looked at himself in the mirror, and smiled.
Brushing his teeth, washing his face, changing his clothes, and going out with his backpack. At this time, Ron Howard was waiting for him at the door with his backpack on his backpack as usual.
"Good morning, good morning."
"Good morning."
After a night of dreams, Chen Xiao’s face was filled with a refreshing smile.
Ron Howard's face also had the warm and warm smile he had always faced Chen Xiao.
The two seemed to have forgotten the anxious and irritable thing last night.
But, have you really forgotten?
The two walked side by side to the team's training hall as usual.
The pedestrians on the road were pointing or greeting Chen Xiao as usual.
There is no doubt that for now, Chen Xiao’s popularity at Marquette University is higher than Ron Howard.
Chen Xiao is now a star student, while Ron Howard is basically out of no one knows it.
All of this looks nothing different from the previous mornings.
Perhaps the only difference is that Chen Xiao was more cheerful and more active this morning.
Chen Xiao, who usually doesn't say hello to the passers-by around him, smiled at almost everyone who greeted him on the road today.
Looking at Chen Xiao's face with an extremely cheerful and sunny smile...
Ron Howard was in a heavy mood.
Chen gave up his dream without hesitation to fulfill my dream.
Ron Howard, who had been silent next to him, clenched his fists tightly and quickly let go.
"Chan, why?"
"Brother Luo gave up everything that shines brightly and the future and chose basketball. You carry so many people's dreams on your back, and I, my dreams, basketball is not the only one, it's gone."
"Brother Luo, you can't live without basketball. I can live without basketball. It's that simple. Don't think too much and have a good rest. No matter what the result is, Brother Luo must let me see the strongest you tomorrow."
"Good night, Brother Luo, don't let me down."
Chen Xiao greeted the people who greeted him on the road to the training ground one by one, as if there was no chance in the future.
Ron Howard next to him was constantly thinking about the scenes and backs of Chen Xiao when he left last night.
Looking at the training hall that was getting closer and closer, Ron Howard felt that the pace on his feet was particularly heavy.
In the past, he always wanted to arrive earlier, but today, he hoped that this road would never end.
This feeling hasn't appeared for a long time...
"Ron, don't blame us for parting without saying goodbye. I think that person is right. People like us should not have those unrealistic dreams, listen carefully to their parents' words, follow the path arranged by their parents, study hard, and inherit the family business in the future. Isn't that good?"
"Basketball? Haha, we can't play basketball, just like the poor, we will never become people like us."
"Give up, Ron."
"We have our lives, and basketball is not ours."
Four years ago, a newly formed basketball team full of hope and dreams disappeared and the dream broke out in a man's crazy laughter.
Everyone left...
And he moved forward alone in the confusion and disappointment of his family, school, and friends.
"I want to prove that I, we can play basketball!"
Walking alone for four years...
He didn't want to give up his dream, but he didn't want to lose his companion who was running with him again.
"Brother Luo, we're here."
Ron Howard came to his senses and looked at the door in front of him. Before he could stop him, Chen Xiao stepped in directly.
Looking at the relaxed and determined back, Ron Howard stretched out his right hand and grabbed the air, then took it back, followed it in with heavy steps.
"I'm a little bit young, I've come here quite early this year."
"I also want to see the official players from Marquette University earlier."
"That's right, although Marquette did not reach the final National Championship last season, in the USA, we ranked third in the regular season in the USA, second only to the University of Cincinnati, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and the University of Southern Mississippi in the National League, and the University of Memphis' fifth-largest team."
Today, as soon as Chen Xiao walked into the training hall, he usually did not dare to harass his other teammates under the intimidation of Ron Howard, so he all surrounded him.
Obviously, today is the day when the official players of Marquette University came back last season. These freshmen who were suppressed by Ron Howard feel that they have a backer and are not afraid of Ron Howard.
Therefore, facing Ron Howard's tyrannical look behind Chen Xiao, Kevin Maynard, who had embraced Chen Xiao's shoulders, would have been let go if it were usual, but today, he was quite calm.
"Ron, don't just think you can beat us easily. If you want to be the boss of the team, do you think you deserve it?"
"A person who has never even played in the high school league actually wants to be the boss of the USA League's fifth most senior and NCAA's former championship team. Are you ridiculous? Hahahahaha..."
The Marquette University Training Hall, which was suppressed by Ron Howard in a strong and cruel way for more than half a month, was now filled with laughter.
The more depressed the past half month, they are now laughing so arrogantly.
A snap!
The laughter that was increasingly arrogant was interrupted by a crisp thug.
Looking at the red marks on his hands, Kevin Maynard, who had just embraced Chen Xiao's shoulder, looked incredible.
"Little one, we have given you a chance!"
Kevin Maynard looked at Chen Xiao with a gloomy face.
He originally thought that this little pet would definitely choose to leave Ron Howard in this situation.
By then, Ron Howard will be alone in the team.
At that time, Ron Howard will fail to challenge the boss and will definitely have no face to stay.
At that time, the last official player of the team will definitely be yours.
Poaching the little pet, angering Ron Howard, must challenge the boss.
Something that was almost certain was a sure thing, but an accident occurred.
It's not jealous of the little one.
And what about Ron Howard?
This irritable guy actually resisted his provocation.
"Brother Luo, ignore them and don't be affected by your mentality."
Chen Xiao ignored Kevin Maynard's incredible eyes and wanted to take Ron Howard away from the place where these people were.
And at this moment, several tall young people suddenly rushed in from the door.
"Is the team so lively now?"
“This year’s freshman seems to be very energetic.”
Looking at the row of big men appearing at the door, Chen Xiao showed a look of surprise.
They are all very imposing!
"We're back, our official player is back!"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Kevin Maynard, Todd Townsend and others were all excited.
"Cauder Henry, the main point guard of Marquette University last season, was able to contribute 13 points and 4.5 assists per game in the NCAA last season, and the star point guard of the USA League!"
"Orama Nnamaca, the main striker of Marquette University last season, was able to average 10 points and 5 rebounds in the NCAA last season, and is a star forward in the USA League!"
"Scott Merritt, the team's main center last season, ranked 85th in the 2000 high school students in the United States, and has the super genius who has the opportunity to enter the NBA in the future!"
Kevin Maynard, Todd Townsend and others were very excited and loud, as if they were deliberately saying it to Chen Xiao and the others.
Listening to their introduction to these people, Chen Xiao felt that these people seemed to be glowing in the morning light outside the door.
That kind of brilliance unique to celebrities and big names.
"There is also the strong man standing among Henry, Ennamarca, Merritt... He is the number genius in Wisconsin who is ranked 40th in the 2001 high school student in the United States, and he is even more talented than Wisconsin basketball player Devin Harris, Travis Dine!"
He is Travis Dinner?
He is the one who wants to compete with Luo Ge for the boss of the team?
Looking at the white defender who looked at everyone's eyes, who looked almost the same height as him, Chen Xiao was a little surprised.
Compared with the image of the great devil he imagined to be defeated, it was a little ordinary.
However, whether it is ordinary or not, this person is the target of Luo Ge’s defeat!
To be continued...
