Chapter 229 Watch the March Madness! The winter of the sun is over!
After the fierce battle, Chen Yan quickly fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already 12 noon the next day.
However, Chen Yan did not panic at all, because head coach D'Antoni did not give the team a day off today and did not arrange any training.
The Suns' schedule is very tight during this period, and D'Antoni wants to give the players a day's rest to allow them to adjust themselves.
After lunch, Chen Yan and Taylor Swift watched a romantic movie together and enjoyed a moment of tranquility in the afternoon.
In the evening, Chen Yan and Swift went out to watch an NCAA game.
‘March Madness’ has now entered its most intense stage, and the game Chen Yan chose to watch was UCLa versus the University of Memphis.
Looking at the heated atmosphere in the arena, Chen Yan couldn't help but lament that time passed too fast.
A year ago, he was just a rookie in the NCAA. A year later, he has grown into an NBA All-Star player.
Like most NBA stars watching the game, Chen Yan also said hello to the star players from both sides before the game started.
Chen Yan first found Derrick Rose, the top player at the University of Memphis.
Rose has a great playing style, but in private he is very shy and even a bit inarticulate.
When he saw Chen Yan, he looked a little shy. After a brief chat, Chen Yan walked to the UCLa warm-up half.
As the popular candidate for this year's No. 1 pick, Rose is the protagonist tonight, but he is not the only protagonist.
There are also many familiar faces here at UCL.
Love, Westbrook, and Darren Collison were all very excited when they saw Chen Yan coming over. Chen Yan is now the hottest rising star in the league and is very popular.
Love came up first to shake hands with Chen Yan and showed great enthusiasm.
Chen Yan also smiled and shook hands with him. At this time, Love was still a little fat guy, naive and a bit like Jokic in the future.
"omg! Chen! Is it really you? I didn't expect you to come to our game!" As soon as Love said hello to Chen Yan, Westbrook couldn't wait to surround him.
Although Westbrook and Rose are both guards with explosive playing styles, their personalities are completely different.
Looking at Westbrook, who was still young at this period, Chen Yan smiled and said: "Russell, I have heard of you and watched your game videos. I like your playing style."
After hearing Chen Yan's praise, Westbrook grinned and said: "I also like your way of playing, it's so cool! I will try to get a triple-double tonight!"
Chen Yan's recent triple-double performance has influenced many young players, and Westbrook is one of them.
"Looking forward to your performance tonight." Chen Yan replied with a smile.
After the two chatted for a few more words, Westbrook suddenly glanced towards the sidelines and silently took out a black pen.
"Chen, can you help me..."
"No problem, it's all trivial!" Before Westbrook finished speaking, Chen Yan took the pen in his hand: "Where are you signing?"
Westbrook scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "I want to ask if you can ask Taylor for an autograph for me. It would be better if it is a signed CD. I have liked her for a long time."
Chen Yan was embarrassed on the spot after hearing this.
Damn it, do you love your sister-in-law?
"Russell is a big fan of Taylor and plays her songs in the dormitory and arena every day."
"Everyone on the team can sing Taylor's songs now, especially the song 'see-u-again'."
Love and Collison said with a smile.
Looking at Westbrook's expectant look, Chen Yan spread his hands jokingly: "Want a signed CD? It depends on your performance tonight. If you perform well tonight, in addition to the signed CD, I can also give you a pair of signed sneakers.
."
"Really?" Westbrook was very excited after hearing this. He had always wanted the double All-Star special edition [Yan Yi], but the color combination was so popular that it was sold out as soon as it was sold.
The reason why Westbrook likes this pair of [Yan Yi] in the All-Star color scheme is for no other reason than that he simply thinks this pair of mandarin duck shoes are so sexy!
Although Westbrook looks like a macho man, he has liked this kind of saucy things since he was a child.
Chen Yan's words obviously inspired Westbrook. At the beginning of the game, he rushed into the penalty area with explosive bags and scored 4 points in a row!
However, Westbrook is a double-edged sword. Although it is powerful, it is easy to get out of control and get hit.
In the next three offensive rounds, Westbrook made three consecutive mistakes that directly stopped his team.
After the timeout, Westbrook forced another one, and the basketball hit the ball and missed.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yan laughed directly. It seems that Westbrook's problem with his head started in college.
UCLA was forced to temporarily replace Westbrook to avoid disrupting the team's offensive rhythm.
Fortunately, Westbrook regained his form after returning from the next timeout, repeatedly using his speed and explosive power to attack the frame on fast breaks.
In the few minutes he sat on the bench, Westbrook also figured out that he is not comprehensive enough now and cannot get a triple-double at will like Chen Yan. If the team wants to win, he must give full play to his own strengths and abilities.
Advantages.
At the University of Memphis, Ross also frequently responded to Westbrook. His impact is no worse than Westbrook, and his skills and shooting are superior.
The offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides is very fast, which makes the fans excited to watch!
This is college basketball. Although it seems a little disorganized, it is full of passion!
In the warm atmosphere of the fans, even Chen Yan couldn't help but cheer!
He is not supporting a certain player or team, but simply immersed in this crazy basketball atmosphere. This makes Chen Yan regain the feeling of fighting in March Madness a year ago!
In the end, the University of Memphis defeated UCL from Los Angeles 85-76!
The University of Memphis players, led by Rose, celebrated wildly in the center of the field.
The UCL players left the game sadly, but for other players in the team, they still have a chance to make a comeback next year.
But for Westbrook and Love, their college basketball days are over because the two had already declared their intention to participate in this year's NBA draft before March Madness started.
Westbrook is an emotional player, and his unwillingness and frustration were written on his face after losing.
Before leaving the game, Chen Yan also briefly comforted Westbrook, asked for his address, and said that he would send a signed CD and signed sneakers to him soon, which was a little comfort to him.
After the game, the media also reported the news about Chen Yan sending shoes. Chen Yan's huge traffic also made Westbrook, who was still unknown at this time, a little popular.
After a day of rest, the Suns continue their regular season journey.
In the next 5 games, the Suns won 3 and lost 2.
On April 3, Nash officially announced his return, and fans expressed that the Suns' winter was finally over!
In the 14 games without Nash, the Suns won 10 of them, maintaining their second place in the league.
During this period, Chen Yan's performance greatly exceeded everyone's expectations!
Suns coach D'Antoni has also publicly praised his beloved disciple many times.
"Chen doesn't act like a rookie!"
"He is already a player in his own right!"
"Chen has shouldered the heavy responsibility of the team and I am proud of him!"
Netizens also made fun of this.
"Being the head coach of the Suns is too easy, just know how to play Chen Yan!"
"You guys don't know a thing upstairs, do you think it's really simple to brag in a different way every day?"
"Chen Yan is simply D'Antoni's biological son!"
"My biological son? This is my biological father!"
"If it weren't for Chen Yan, the sun would have fallen to the lower half of the west by now."
"The sun cannot live without Chen Yan, just like the west cannot live without Jerusalem!"
In short, thousands of words can be condensed into one sentence: Chen Yan, the sun has really big legs!
