Chapter 12 The media reported frantically, attracting the attention of domestic fans
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the top 32 of the NCAA tournament, and will be rewarded with 2 honor points."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for tying the single-game scoring record for a freshman in the NCAA tournament, and will be rewarded with 1 honor point."
Are there honor points rewards for tying the record?
Wouldn’t it be more to break the record?
After returning to the school dormitory, Chen Yan lay on the bed and studied his system.
Then, he converted two honor points into one attribute point and added it to the mid-range shot.
The mid-range investment attribute has also changed from the original [77] to [78].
The reason why it is added to the mid-range shot is because most of Chen Yan's points in the game come from breakthroughs and mid-range shots.
Compared with three-pointers, at this stage, the mid-range shot is where I rely more on conventional offensive weapons.
The NCAA is not the NBA, relying on breakthroughs and mid-range shots is enough to resolve the game.
Moreover, my three-point attribute is currently low, so it will be difficult to increase it in the short term. Let’s wait until we are richer.
"Chen, you are so popular!"
Suddenly Du Xiaoshuai shouted in the living room!
As soon as Chen Yan turned off the system, Xiao Shuai rushed to Chen Yan's bedside with his laptop in his arms.
"A supernova is born! 33 points tie Anthony's record!"
"A player born for the top five? He shook his head slightly and said it was all basic operations!"
"Exceeding people is like drinking water! He waltzed in the March Madness stadium!"
"The x-factor? No, he's become the new Texas Longhorns hero!"
Chen Yan glanced at the news that was all over the screen. How could anyone come up with so many outrageous headlines?
Chen Yan took a deep breath, but I like...
Although it's outrageous, it's still interesting to watch.
Now he can finally understand why Durant likes to surf the Internet and browse his own news every day.
It is indeed a sense of accomplishment to watch the media and fans pursue you, but the prerequisite is that you play well enough, otherwise you will be either praised or scolded.
These news not only have a positive impact on Chen Yan's psychological level, but also actually increase his exposure!
After two rounds of competition, his reputation in the United States has gradually increased.
He is now not only the subject of discussion among fans, but has even attracted the attention of a large number of scouts.
In the latest draft prediction rankings updated by espn.com and draft.com, Chen Yan has quietly appeared on the list!
The espn draft website ranked Chen Yan with the 10th pick in the second round, while the draft draft website ranked it higher. Chen Yan saw his name at the beginning of the second round!
Although the ranking is not high, seeing his name on the list is enough to make Chen Yan excited!
This means that he has reached the threshold of the NBA!
Entering the NBA was Chen Yan's dream in his previous life, and it is also what countless fans dream of!
Now Chen Yan feels like his dream is about to come true!
Chen Yan was a little excited and had to lament the terrifying influence of March Madness again!
"March Madness" is still going on. As long as Chen Yan continues to maintain his high-profile performance, I believe the ranking will increase significantly!
Although this all happened a bit quickly, I have to say that these NBA scouts really know the game and can see their talent and potential in just two games.
Of course, the huge Chinese market behind him is indispensable for his rapid ranking on the list.
Dayao's success has made every NBA team eager to have a Chinese player. After all, no one can live with money.
In addition to rising to prominence in the United States, the name Chen Yan has also appeared in the eyes of domestic fans.
"Sports Weekly" specially added a column report for Chen Yan, introducing Chen Yan's performance in the two games of "March Madness" and listing a series of data.
Well-known domestic basketball magazines such as "Slam Dunk", "Slam Dunk", and "NBA Time and Space" also made special reports on Chen Yan.
Sports News also inserted a short video of Chen Yan's game during the midday NBA game report to give a brief introduction to Chen Yan.
Soon, a master got over the wall and obtained Chen Yan's game highlights and posted them on a certain basketball forum.
"Is this Chen Yan? I believe it even if you say it's Iverson!"
"Chen Yan finally got the idea after a year of treatment!"
"You call this enlightenment? It's simply cheating!"
"Awesome! Can we in China have such an awesome defender?"
"If he keeps playing like this, he will definitely be able to enter the NBA, and the Olympics will be held at home next year!"
The comments below the highlights are exploding!
New fans were directly attracted by Chen Yan, and fans who had previously criticized Chen Yan also apologized one after another.
Fans are very real. If you play well, you will be praised to the heavens. If you play poorly, you will just criticize them without even going through the process.
Although they have read some relevant reports, most fans still don't know much about the NCAA. They only know that it is the cradle of cultivating NBA players. It has a strong basketball atmosphere and a high level of competition.
Su Qun, editor-in-chief of Basketball Pioneer Newspaper, wrote a blog specifically for this purpose.
In this blog, he introduces in detail the history of the Texas Longhorns, NCAA rules, the influence of March Madness in the United States, and Chen Yan's crazy performance in these two games.
The number of clicks on this blog exploded as soon as it came out!
By the way, I also gained a lot of fans for Su Qun’s blog.
Su Qun was happy and said that he would follow up and update Chen Yan's performance in the future, and even go to the United States to conduct an exclusive interview with him if he has the opportunity.
He finally understood the blog, and the word "Chen Yan" now represents the traffic password.
Although his popularity continues to rise at home and abroad, Chen Yan has no time to enjoy the thrill of becoming famous with one goal.
Because the Sweet 16 is about to start in 4 days!
Texas' next opponent is the University of Kansas, a traditional NCAA powerhouse.
The University of Kansas once reversed Texas in overtime during the regular season. It can be said that the two teams had some grudges before.
Therefore, this battle is also called the Battle of Texas’ Revenge by the outside world!
...
...
On March 27, the duel between the two sides will begin at the Toyota Center in Houston!
The seats are still packed and the crowds are still buzzing!
Different from the previous two games, a considerable number of fans came here tonight for Chen Yan!
The story of the little guy's counterattack, everyone likes this kind of story.
Before the game, ESPN reporters specifically interviewed some fans in the stands.
"I drove here from San Antonio just to watch a Chen game!"
"I've seen his highlights and he's an incredible player!"
"I know it's not easy for Asians in this sport. I hope he can perform well tonight. I will always support him!" said an Asian fan.
In addition to serious fans, Chen Yan also has a small number of fans.
"He is now the subject of much discussion in our school, and he is very stylish, isn't he?"
"I think if he didn't play basketball, he could be a model or something..."
Soon, the decibels in the stands became louder.
The Texas players enter the field to warm up!
Chen Yan and Durant walked out of the tunnel with a bag of crispy noodles each.
It’s the same opening again, another classic scene!
But the difference from the last scene is that both of them have a different taste.
"Martin, why are you so handsome? You must have half a bottle of hairspray on, right?"
Chen Yan glanced at Martin Hill next to him and felt that something was wrong with this kid.
Martin Hill played a total of 1 minute and 07 seconds in the two March Madness games, making him a mascot-level player on the Texas team.
"What? Chen, what's your problem? It's a live broadcast tonight! If the camera catches me, I'll be on TV!"
Chen Yan: "..."
Not to mention Chen Yan, I almost forgot that tonight’s game will be broadcast live across the United States!
While Chen Yan was shooting to warm up, he looked around. There were groups of reporters, cameras in all directions, and a large number of broadcast cameras. It felt very different from the previous games.
His first start was broadcast live across the United States, and Chen Yan felt that he had to perform well tonight!
