I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 1 is about to play as cannon fodder at the beginning

"Deron~~Williams——"

"And-One!"

A roar that resounded through the arena woke up the drowsy Li Xuan.

"Deron Williams?"

Isn't this De Xiaopang who beat Paul while eating and sleeping?
Li Xuan raised his head in a daze, and instinctively looked around in a daze.

Dazzling lights, basketball players galloping on the court, a camera that catches the eye, and crowds of fans applauding
When he looked up and saw the date on the large electronic screen hanging in the arena, his face was full of shock and bewilderment.

"Am I transmigrating?"

Li Xuan murmured in a daze, and began to recall the memories in his mind.

"Um...how come I only have the memory of my time before time travel, but not the memory of the original owner!"

Li Xuan fell into shock again.

Just as he was meditating, a chattering voice sounded next to his ear.

Fortunately, Li Xuan was an out-and-out god of learning before crossing, proficient in seven or eight foreign languages, and could still understand the bird language of the United States.

He came back to his senses and listened intently for a while before he heard clearly what he was saying.

"Li, come up with the awareness of being the patron saint of the team's drinking fountains."

"Now that the team is temporarily behind and morale is low, it's our turn to make a difference."

"Although we can't play, we can wave towels and cheer for the team!"

Li Xuan turned his head and looked at the big white man sitting next to him chattering non-stop, and felt that the face in front of him was very familiar.

Isn't this marksman Novak!

He glanced at Novak, did not respond, but quickly looked around and looked at the players who were playing on the field.

Marquette University Golden Eagles head coach Tom Crean?

The slightly green 'Flash' Wade and the "fat" De Xiaopang?
Based on what he saw and heard before him, Li Xuan used his clever brain to roughly guess his identity and situation at this time.

"I accidentally traveled to 03, and I became teammates with Wade on the Marquette University basketball team. Everything became so amazing."

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth turned upwards, feeling that he was favored by the goddess of luck. The dream of his previous life will gradually come true with this unexpected time travel.

In addition to being a god of learning, Li Xuan before time travel was also a "basketball expert" with rich basketball knowledge and theory.

However, due to physical defects, he was unable to exercise vigorously, so he was unable to play basketball, and was ridiculed as a "king of strong mouth" who had no theory and could not be practiced.

Li Xuan usually laughs off such teasing, and then ignores it. No one can understand his pain of not being able to play basketball, and his heart that loves basketball so much.

This trip happened to bring him a "blank number" with good physical fitness but lacking in basketball skills, and he was quite satisfied.

Although the origin of the original owner has not yet been clarified, Li Xuan is not too entangled.

As the old saying goes, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and everything will go with the flow.

In any case, this accidental crossing finally fulfilled his dream of playing basketball.

Immediately, he turned his eyes to the court and watched the game with all his attention.

It was the opener of the 2003 NCAA National Championships.

The two sides are Marquette University VS University of Illinois.

In order to be fair, the NCAA National Championship rarely has a home game, and usually a neutral site is selected.

This time is no exception. The NCAA organizers took the home of the Dallas Mavericks - the American Airlines Center Arena as the venue for the competition between the two sides.

At this time, the game on the field was extremely anxious, approaching a white-hot stage.

While Li Xuan was stunned, Deron first used his strong body to push away Marquette University's starting point guard Dinard, and at the same time caused a foul, winning 2+1!

In the next two rounds, Wade broke through the inside and missed consecutively, which failed to help Marquette University approach the score.

Instead, the University of Illinois seized the opportunity.

Deron continued to go-between, broke through the ball, assisted his outside teammates to score 2 three-pointers in a row, hit a 9:0 spurt, and opened the point difference to 11 points in one fell swoop!
Seeing De Xiaopang, who was fully firing on the field and killing all directions, Li Xuan couldn't help shaking his head helplessly.

He knew very well that in the Marquette University camp, the only one who could defend Deron was Wade, but Wade had to take on the heavy responsibility of the team's offense, so he really had no extra energy to focus on defense.

It's not that Li Xuan didn't imagine himself playing to defend De Xiaopang.

Although he feels that his current body is very good, he still has self-knowledge, and knows that with his current strength, sending him up to defend De Xiaopang is just as cannon fodder.

At this moment, Novak patted Li Xuan on the shoulder, handed him a clean towel, and said, "Li, don't be dazed anymore, wave the towel with me to cheer for the team!"

Li Xuan looked at the hot light in Novak's eyes, took the towel without any hesitation, and couldn't help sighing: "College basketball is better! It doesn't involve any interests, it's all about passion."

At this time, Novak has stood up, waving a towel, shouting loudly to cheer for the team.

Seeing Novak's rather shameful actions, Li Xuan felt a little embarrassed, and he was a little uncomfortable with this atmosphere just after transmigrating.

Just when Li Xuan was struggling, a whistle rescued him.

"pause!"

Klein, who originally wanted to make adjustments during the halftime break, finally couldn't sit still, and immediately asked the referee for a timeout.

"Oh! Before the end of the first half, the Golden Eagles experienced a black-like 1 minute! The University of Illinois widened the point difference to 11 points in one fell swoop. If the Marquette Golden Eagles lose this game, it will be this year's 'crazy three' Yue's first upset!"

"If the University of Illinois upset tonight, then Marquette University has been out of the first round for the second consecutive year. This will be a sad story that Marquette fans can't sleep."

Just entering the timeout, the on-site commentator raised the idea that there may be an upset tonight.

It is not difficult to hear that the words of the two commentators on the commentary booth revealed a sense of expectation.

There are many upsets and dark horses everywhere, which is why the March of the NCAA is so crazy!

After calling a timeout, the first thing Marquette coach Kline did was to put Dinard on the bench.

Klein has given him too many chances tonight, but on the offensive end, Dinard failed to connect the team, and on the defensive end, he was overwhelmed by Deron.

Klein didn't waste the time of the timeout, his eyes swept over the players on the bench one by one, shaking their heads, and finally fixed their eyes on Li Xuan.

"Hey, I remember that Li's static talent is very good. It seems that he is 201 cm tall, weighs 92 kg, and has a wingspan of 219 cm. It's a pity that such a good talent is a rough guy!"

"Hey! I don't have time to think about it. In this situation, I can only let Li play to defend Williams and see if there will be a miracle!"

Klein's expression kept changing, as if he was thinking and weighing.

In the end, he still nodded his head slightly, as if he had made a decision that was difficult but pleasing to him.

What the hell! ! !

No way?
Coach Klein's resentful and hot eyes, wouldn't it be that he asked me to appear on the stage to defend against Fatty Germany?

I want to play, but not at this time!

You just traveled here and haven't figured out the situation yet, so you have to play as cannon fodder in the first game?

Don't stare at me, don't stare at me, don't stare at me.
Li Xuan kept praying in his heart, and even shrank back.

Try to let Novak next to him block him, so that he will not be stared by the head coach Klein.

If he plays now, he will be crushed and blown by De Xiaopang 100%, and his lack of any basketball skills may also be exposed. The worst result waiting for him is to be abandoned by the head coach and sit on the bench.

But seeing the head coach Klein's confidence, Li Xuan knew that he was doomed, so he could only bite the bullet and prepare mentally for playing.
