Chapter 43 Fame!(1/2)
"Chan, your ability to run, mid-range shot and get rid of this game is impressive. As a beginner, your progress is incredible. I hope that in the future you can still maintain a curious original intention for basketball. That is the highest quality of basketball players. This quality makes you unique. We old men like the curiosity and love in your eyes the most. This will make us feel the past, become young, and also make you stand out on the court."
"Dwyane, you are great, very, very good. Maybe you are the most powerful player in the Golden Eagles' history. You have an incredible desire for basketball games, game statistics, and victory. Your talent and your comprehensiveness are enough to support you to go far on the road of basketball. Now, you need to use your strength to create greatness, continue to maintain your hunger for everything, and you can become a great player beyond Butch."
"Ron, I can't describe your excellence in words. You are a perfect player. You can do everything on the court, but you are willing to sacrifice for the team and for your teammates. You are the kind of player that all head coaches love the most. Whether in the NCAA or in the NBA, you will succeed."
The old man who watched the school leaders and team celebrities leave, Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard, still looked quite excited.
The other Marquette University players around Chen Xiao were envious.
This old man is the greatest person in the history of the Golden Eagles at Marquette University, equivalent to Zhang Sanfeng of the Wudang Sect.
"Mr. McGuire has been in a state of seclusion after he retired 25 years ago. He didn't expect that he would appear on the team this year. Dwyane, Chen, Ron, you three have caused a lot of noise this year!"
After McGuire won the championship miraculously in 1977 with Marquette University, he retired and resigned as the team's head coach.
Not only did he resign as the team's head coach, he never coached in the NCAA again.
In this way, he truly retired.
At that time, he was only 49 years old, the most brilliant peak age of a coach!
When he created miracles in 1977, he could teach on any team in the United States as long as he wanted.
But he still refused all of them.
This Godfather of Marquette University is so willful and special.
At the same time, it is precisely because of this specialness that he also seems more legendary.
Of course, Chen Xiao has heard of the godfather of this team. Unexpectedly, this legendary godfather who had not appeared for a long time was alarmed by them.
So, after a group of people from the team surrounded the old man and left, Chen Xiao and Wade subconsciously raised their heads and raised their chests and leaned back.
What is a card face? This is a card face!
The other Marquette University players next to him looked at these two guys so sexy, and they were so resentful for a moment.
"You are a little boy, you have changed, you have learned bad things from Dwyane."
"Yeah?"
"It's yours, when did I become a bad guy?!"
The originally resentful atmosphere was filled with laughter again because of Wade and Chen Xiao’s fight.
"Mr. McGuire, thank you very much for recommending me as the head coach of Marquette University to the school."
"Tom, you don't have to thank me. I should be thankful for you. You did a great job with the Golden Eagles."
"Thank you for your praise."
"This is not a compliment, it is a fact. You are a very meticulous head coach. You did a great job in this game. In the NCAA, you may encounter unexpected teams at any time. Some teams are unexpectedly weak, and some teams are unexpectedly strong. A team does not have the ability to handle accidents. No matter how strong they are, they will not win the NCAA championship. Tom, I like your ambition very much. I hope that you and the Golden Eagles will give me a huge surprise in this season's NCAA."
Watching Al McGuire leave, Tom Crien and Tim Barkley looked at each other.
This 73-year-old man is still so wise.
He could actually see so many things in such a massacre of Chicago State University by Marquette University.
The careful planning of the two of them in this game was revealed in one sentence...
This strength...
Neither Tom Krien nor Tim Barkley had stated what the team's goals this season.
Now is not the time to talk about this.
But there is no doubt that the championship is Tom Crien's pursuit this season.
He didn't say it, but kept doing it.
It is more meaningful to slowly build the team with a championship temperament than always emphasizing the championship in the team.
But his thoughts were exposed in McGuire in such a game.
"I am surely the best head coach in NCAA history to create accidents!"
Tim Buckley exclaimed sincerely.
Tom Crean nodded, agreeing!
Day 2 of Marquette University and Chicago State University competition.
Marquette University's 58-point victory over Chicago State University at home quickly became a hot topic in the basketball world across the United States.
In the United States, the media's preference for the NCAA is greater than that of the NBA. A big victory with an NCAA close to 60 points can definitely become a hot topic in news across the United States.
What's more, the team that created this news hot topic is Marquette University, which is already very hot topic.
Seeing the headlines of sports news in major media across the United States the next day, Chen Xiao and Marquette University players were both surprised.
Especially Chen Xiao.
Because he was a little bit slandered in an interview yesterday, he thought there was nothing wrong, but he didn't expect that O'Neal, who was being scorned by him, actually responded!
"The magical boy said that Dwyane Wade could teach me to shoot in the middle? This is great. If this is true, I would certainly be a teammate with him. Dwyane Wade could teach me to shoot in the middle and I could teach him how to win the NBA championship."
"Shake, do you think you and Dwyane Wade can win the NBA championship together?"
"Why not? I can win the NBA with a dog!"
"Hahahaha, the previous words are all jokes. Dwyane is a human or not a dog, and the NBA does not allow pets to play, hahahaha..."
"However, I'm not a joke about teaching Dwyane how to win the NBA championship. I like them. They are very interesting groups of kids."
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, there was a huge black and white photo in the middle of the newspaper. O'Neal was being interviewed, and next to him was his teammate, Chen Xiao's current idol Kobe.
For some reason, Chen Xiao always felt that next to O'Neal who was laughing, his idol, Kobe Bryant's face looked very, very ugly.
Did I deliberately help my idol with revenge and cause trouble?
"I didn't expect O'Neal to respond to you..."
It's not just Chen Xiao.
Wade, Ron Howard, and other players at Marquette were all surprised.
"Little one, I feel that you may really become household names now!"
Any interview after the game can alarm the NBA's No. 1 bowl like O'Neal. This influence is definitely beyond the range of Milwaukee and Wisconsin!
Compared with other players at Marquette University, Tom Crien is not surprised as a former Michigan State assistant coach.
Because what happened to Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard now is not the same as he has seen each other.
Eight years ago, when the Michigan Five Tigers craze spread across the United States, he happened to be a young assistant coach at Michigan State University.
Michigan was just the center of that storm, and he witnessed the entire process from the rise, glory to the end of regret.
"The rise of the Marquette Three Eagles is so similar to the rise of the Five Michigan Tigers back then."
In the NCAA, because of the needs of the audience, the media always likes to create young 'heroes' with interesting stories.
This is the luck and misfortune of these young heroes.
As a close witness to the Five Tigers era in Michigan, it is hard to say whether the Five Tigers would have ended better without the hype of public opinion across the United States.
But one thing is that he can confirm that the group of young "heroes" of the Five Tigers of Michigan were unable to stop the huge pressure from public opinion across the United States. They collapsed first... and finally they were unable to stand up when they tried to get up again.
Now 8 years later, he will witness the rise of a new hero group.
This time, he will no longer be a close-up viewer.
This time, he became a participant and even the creator of this storm!
"Tim, our ending this time must be different!"
"Hope so."
Since the continued heat of public opinion across the United States, Chen Xiao has discovered that some different things have begun to appear around him, Wade and Ron Howard.
On November 21, 2001, Chen Xiao followed Marquette University to Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska.
Marquette will play three games at the Sallivan Arena in Anchorage in the next four days, with the University of Tennessee, Indiana University and Gonzaga.
This is one of the official promotion activities of the NCAA this year.
Including the Alaska Challenge before the season, it is part of this promotion.
The NBA and NCAA have actually been developing their own markets in the United States.
In the development of the market, NCAA has even been more radical.
He directly moved his official game outside the local area, and sent all the strong teams, without playing virtual games, directly talking to the strong, letting people here see what the NCAA's highest level game looks like.
Because of the Alaska Challenge, Chen Xiao is still very well-known in Fairbanks, but in Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska, it should not be much famous.
But this time I returned to Anchorage, which made Chen Xiao feel like this was completely different.
On the evening of November 21, 2001, Sallivan Arena.
Before the match between Marquette University and the University of Tennessee, the Sallivan Arena, which should be considered neutral court, was shouting the names of Marquette University, Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard.
If you ask which one is more famous in the NCAA, Marquette University or the University of Tennessee, there is no doubt that it will be 550.
To be continued...
