I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 38 Complete the peak duel for the first time
Back in the hotel room, Li Xuan greeted Wade, then went back to his bed to lie down, opened the system page, and quickly checked the progress of the goal.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing all the goals in the temporary mission. The rewards have been issued. Please collect the host in time."

After listening to the notification tone of the system, Li Xuan was overjoyed.

All he knew was three goals, and it was icing on the cake that Sheldon Williams didn't get as many rebounds as he did.

Click to receive all rewards without any hesitation.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the block attribute improvement card +1, the rebound attribute improvement card +1, the A-level attribute breakthrough card +1, and the skill death coil."

After Li Xuan checked the first skill introduction he got, he called out something good, and then quickly used all the rewards he got to improve his own strength, and then opened the personal attribute panel.

Li Xuan used the skill experience cards he brushed before to upgrade his skills. He used 10 experience cards to raise the [Death Coil] level to LV2. He needs 100 cards to continue upgrading. He doesn't have so much in stock, so he can only save more .

He glanced at the upgraded skills, and the functional effects have been slightly improved.

After finishing everything, Li Xuan turned off the system panel, took his pajamas and went to the bathroom to wash up. After coming out, he greeted Wade who was still fiddling with the computer.

"Dwyane, I'm going to bed, and you should go to bed early, and don't do any weird moves in the middle of the night."

"Brother, you think too much. I'm a serious person. I took a rest after browsing the draft website."

After Li Xuan finished joking, he returned to his bed, lay down and fell asleep quickly, ending a tiring day.

One day later, the NCAA Tournament decides all the 'Final Four' seats!
The four teams are Texas at Austin, Kansas University, Syracuse University and Marquette University.

The Marquette Golden Eagles' opponent is the University of Kansas.

The Ravenhawks of the University of Kansas is also one of the traditional basketball giants with a long history and brilliant record. It has trained a large number of NBA players, including Wilt Chamberlain and Paul Pierce.

Now the Kansas Ravenhawks have what is known as the best inside and outside combination in the NCAA today, Collison and Hinrich.

That's a combination of two draft lottery picks.

It is also the biggest obstacle for the Marquette Golden Eagles to advance to the final.

After the tactical analysis meeting at Marquette University, Li Xuan and Wade walked to the court to complete today's daily tasks.

This time Li Xuan is very confident, because he received the task reward last night, which greatly improved his strength.

"Dwyane, you have to be careful, today's me is not the one I was yesterday."

"Brother, there doesn't seem to be any difference in this, since they are all rookies anyway."

"Let's see how this rookie pecks your dog's eyes out today."

"Then let the horse come over, I will accompany you at any time."

Two hours later.

On the basketball court of the training hall, two young men with different skin colors were lying on the floor panting for breath.

"Hey, I told you that you can't defeat me easily, believe it now!"

"Li, did you secretly practice more while I was sleeping? Why did your defense improve so quickly? If your ball-handling ability also improved so quickly, I'm afraid I won't be your opponent. What a monster!"

"I didn't practice extra behind your back. I usually train with you. I don't have so much time to practice. It may be a talent to improve so quickly."

In the previous heads-up match, Wade was defended so desperately that he couldn't break through Li Xuan's defense.

In the past, he could quickly rush to the basket to score with his speed advantage, but now Li Xuan's lateral movement speed has suddenly increased a lot, and he has blocked his breakthrough route many times. He has no choice but to force a layup, but Li Xuan's height and arm After Zhan covered him, he couldn't see the basket at all, and it was almost impossible to score.

It's not easy for Li Xuan to score. He can only rely on the outside line to shoot a cold shot, or start to hit back from outside the three-point line, and rely on a jumper to score.

This time he was lucky, he made several difficult shots, and with his fiery touch, he defeated Wade in a single challenge for the first time.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the peak duel and obtaining Dwyane Wade's exclusive skill - Lightning Step."

When Li Xuan listened to the system notification tone, he was overjoyed, and thought that he was the son of luck, and his luck exploded.

But after reading the skill introduction, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Skill: [Lightning Step]

Effect: When the host breaks through the opponent with the dribble, the speed and explosive power are instantly increased by 5%,

Conditions of use: The ball control attribute reaches B level.

Although the effect of the skill is very good, Li Xuan can't use it and can only stay in the inventory to eat ashes.

"Have you rested yet? Let's continue!"

Although he can't get rewards again for challenging the same star, Li Xuan intends to vent out the anger in his heart. The target of venting must be Wade. Anyway, he is all to blame for everything, and he gave himself an unusable skill.

Poor Wade didn't know what was going to happen next, and responded with a smile: "I didn't have a hard time before, and I must crush it this time."

Immediately, they began a protracted blacksmithing battle.

After the March Madness Championship entered the final four, it can be regarded as ushering in the final big event.

Fans across the United States discuss these two sets of matchups almost every day, and some bookmakers even offer odds, predicting which team will eventually reach the top.

From the elite eight to the final four, there are five full days of rest.

During the five days of rest, Li Xuan didn't go there either, and spent time with Wade in the training hall. He cherished this time in college very much, and maybe he won't be able to train here next year.

The dormitory and basketball are two-point one-line, complete daily training and team tactical drills during the day, and dream of winning the championship in the NCAA when sleeping at night.

Without any commercial factors and off-court interference, it is a pure basketball life.

The whole team is united as one, there is no intrigue, no discord within the team, everyone's goal is the same, that is to work hard to advance to the next round!
Time flies, April Fool's Day, April 4st, Marquette University and the University of Kansas, this nationally focused NCAA Final Four battle officially started.
