"Ding! You have obtained the Assist Version Hexagonal Fragment 5!"

"Ding! Acquired Support Version Hexagonal Fragment 6!"

"Ding! Obtained 4 Hexagonal Shards (Rebound Version)!"

"Ding! You have obtained the second sealed hexagonal fragment!"

……

Chen Dong couldn't bear to look at the slowly increasing hexagonal value of 20 points on the settlement screen, but he couldn't help checking it—it was just so annoying!!!

"The system may have tormented me a thousand times, but I will still love it like my first love." At this moment, Chen Dong expressed his feelings.

Fortunately, no matter what, with the system at his disposal, he will one day gradually climb to the top. "This is just the path I came from!!!"

"It's okay to go slower, as long as the direction is right..."

Your current ability rating is: [University Level, Average]

20000 more are needed to unlock the next stage, [College Draft Level].

"Hexagonal value: 8930".

"..."

Exiting the system page, Chen Dong and his bench teammates walked onto the court, high-fiving Chris Paul, Rick Williams, Justin Gray, and other players on the court to celebrate this comeback victory, which, while not spectacular, was still quite memorable.

Then, the teammates lined up to wave and applaud the entire stadium, thanking them for their support and encouragement, and accepting their cheers and applause in return.

NCAA basketball is pure and simple. These post-game interactive ceremonies give the players a huge sense of satisfaction, and well, that way, money doesn't have to be mentioned!

In the home team's locker room, Prossel walked in and high-fived each of his teammates. After circling around, he came to the center of the group and laughed loudly, "Guys, tonight is another night of glory for all of us."

"Well done, everyone! You took down the Georgia Tech Hornets!"

Do you remember the Hornets' results last season?

"Remember!!!

They're second in Third Grade!!!

"What does that mean?"

Chris Ellis quickly interjected, "Does that mean...when will we be number one in North America???"

Prosser smiled broadly, "Soon, very soon, this year!!!"

"Please remember how we feel right now. We defeated an opponent who was on the verge of reaching the finals of the 3rd Madness tournament."

That means our Wake Forest University Devil's Deacon team has the strength to win the championship.

"We are the champions this year!!!"

The players were laughing and cheering, giving each other high-fives and encouragement. Chen Dong also really liked this atmosphere; no matter what, NCAA basketball is just that pure!!!

Whether others believe it or not, at this moment, he is trying to believe!

……

Three days later, on November 21, the fourth preseason game.

Wake Forest University defeated the University of Tennessee Volunteers 81-76. Chen Dong, who started the game, did not have a particularly impressive performance, scoring only 11 points, 3 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks. His stats were all-around good, but the decisive factor in the game was none other than Chris Paul.

He went head-to-head with the volunteer team's star player, with Paul delivering a terrifying performance of 21 points, 12 assists, and 5 rebounds. Although CJ Watson's scoring stats were even more impressive, racking up 29 points, he ultimately lost the team game despite winning in individual scoring. His 3 assists and 5 rebounds were simply not enough against Chris Paul's top-tier double-double performance.

Time flies, and on November 24th, the ACC league regular season continued.

Wake Forest University faced their second opponent – ​​the Florida State University Seminoles.

Beep—!

With the sound of a whistle, the competition officially began.

Alexander Janssen, who later went on to play in the NBA, won the jump ball against Rick Williams to gain possession of the first possession.

Without much experimentation, Vaughn Weaver, who would later be known as "Weaver the Bat," would accelerate and charge forward as soon as he got the ball. Pure shooters like Justin Gray simply couldn't stop this guy's reckless, basket-obsessed style of play.

Clang!

Once inside the paint, it's a high-flying, one-handed dunk.

The entire Wake Forest University defense line seemed to freeze for a second under Weaver's lightning-fast sprint, utterly powerless to resist.

Florida doesn't tolerate idlers; Weaver made a strong drive and scored, giving the team the first point.

On the bench, Chen Dong suddenly felt that starting as a substitute player might not be a bad thing.

At least, you can gather information about the opposing players on the field, so you won't be completely overwhelmed.

In the third minute, Weaver made a three-point line jab step to the basket, followed by a crossover dribble before stepping back and releasing a shot...

Swish-!

Breakthroughs are possible, and three points are possible.

At this moment, Weaver's unstoppable superstar style of play helped Florida maintain a clear offensive advantage over Wake Forest University.

Cheers and applause erupted in the arena; no one could help it, Weaver's playing style was simply exhilarating to watch.

Meanwhile, at Wake Forest University, Chris Paul was controlling the tempo, grinding out sets and increasing his scoring percentage. In comparison, Florida's "track-and-field style" basketball looked much more exciting!

In the sixth minute, Paul broke into the penalty area, intending to finish the game with a short floater.

Snapped--!

Al Thornton, fanning himself like a volleyball fan, asked Paul to order a hot pot.

Weaver got the ball out of control and immediately launched a counterattack. Justin Gray closely guarded him, but Weaver dribbled between his legs, forcing Gray to retreat. Weaver then changed direction again, took a step past Gray, and as Gray fell heavily, his long body shot straight into the paint, leaped high, and delivered a powerful one-handed dunk.

Clang!

GOAT!!!

"This gliding, one-handed dunk that took on zero opponents, if I had to give it a score, I'd give it a 9." The commentator roared. "But if you add the crossover and the prelude that made Gray fall, the whole offensive move could easily be a 10."

"The rhythm of the game was completely taken over by Weaver's unstoppable offense."

Huh, what's going on?

Justin Gray is injured, it's probably a muscle strain?

Whether for the sake of caution or to limit Weaver, Wake Forest University will ultimately choose to replace Gray. Who will they send to replace him?

"Chen Dong!"

"Chen Dong!!"

Prosser called Chen Dong, who was on the bench, over to him, "That player named Weaver is on fire, you go on the court and take him down!!!"

"Understood, Coach."

"Should I play shooting guard?" Chen Dong asked.

"Yes, can you do it?"

"have no idea!

"I'll answer with my performance on the field." Chen Dong said, then jogged onto the field.

"I heard you're Wake Forest University's secret weapon? Now the number one scorer is out."

I've scored 20 points in three consecutive games, and you're no match for me. Let Chris Paul take on me instead.

In response to Vaughn Weaver's provocation, Chen Dong immediately retorted, "So, you're going to learn from McGrady and consider your next opponent?"

Should we go back to the locker room and pop in champagne to celebrate the victory early?

After saying that, before Weaver could react, he immediately reached out to receive Paul's pass, raised the ball beyond the three-point line to shoot, but saw Weaver desperately rushing over to block the shot.

He gathered the ball, turned halfway to protect it, faked two times in front of his body, and then drove forward to probe, successfully forcing Weaver's close defense away. At a distance of one step beyond the regular three-point line, Chen Dong raised his hand and took a shot...

"Instead of passing and cutting to Paul on the perimeter, he chose to go up himself, a very unreasonable pull-up three-pointer!" The commentator roared and shook his head, but the next second, his eyes widened and he shouted, "It's in!!!"

The incredible three-pointer came from Chen Dong, who had just come off the bench.

"This bench player always delivers an outstanding performance whenever he plays."

Vaughn Weaver now has a challenger!!!

"Is it possible to make a three-pointer just by having hands?"

Three consecutive games with 20 points? That's because they didn't encounter me there.

"I'd better pray your team doesn't lose too quickly." Chen Dongchong said calmly after scoring.

Weaver was furious. He wanted Chen Dong to know that the consequences would be severe. He chose to take the ball directly from the backcourt and dribble it to the frontcourt, but was immediately blocked by Chen Dong's full-court press defense.

Bang-!

In a physical contest, Chen Dong completely overwhelmed Weaver, who took a more agile approach. Weaver chose to dribble between his legs and step back to create distance, then accelerated forward with all his might, so fast that Chen Dong couldn't see his taillights.

Snapped--!

Beep—!

The whistle blew, and Weaver, who was preparing to finish the attack with a 360-degree dunk, was frustrated. He didn't expect Chen Dong to interrupt his offensive rhythm with a foul.

"I'm just a substitute player!"

You still have four fouls left. You better pray you can get the ball again and continue your 20-point scoring streak.

"..." Weaver was speechless, but also a little anxious.

Next, although he received the basketball, his response with a three-point shot was too obvious. Under Chen Dong's interference, the shot missed with a clang.

According to pre-game data, Weaver's three-point shooting has been on fire this season, averaging a 65% three-point percentage per game. However, under Chen Dong's combined mental and physical attacks, it was ineffective.

As Weaver was suppressed by Chen Dong, Florida's point guard Jason Harden was also completely overwhelmed by Chris Paul.

Snapped--!

After a steal following a direct confrontation, Shi immediately launched a counterattack, easily scoring a layup for two points.

"The University of Florida's outside shooting duo has been completely outmaneuvered by Wake Forest University's outside shooting duo..."

The basketball was handed to Al Thornton, who also chose to be reckless, accelerating and dribbling past his opponent. Kyrie Vither's white body simply couldn't withstand this "black and hard" impact. He broke through Wake Forest University's defense with a godlike one-handed dunk.

Clang!

"nice shot!

Wake Forest University's two wingers lacked defensive talent and simply couldn't withstand the attacks from Florida's two wing forwards.

There is only one Chen Dong…

On the court, Chen Dong finally managed to stop Vaughn Weaver's offense. Al Thornton, a lottery pick in 07, was only a sophomore, but he still showed terrifying talent, and his attack on Wake Forest University's wing defense was on the verge of collapse.

At halftime, the Florida State Seminoles, thanks to the unparalleled physical prowess of their two wing swingmen, managed to put up a close fight against Chris Paul's Wake Forest team, with the score ending at 48-47.

You call this the team with the best potential in North America?

But there's no way around it; on the NCAA stage, a player's talent can really do whatever it wants.

It's important to understand that Florida University not only has two players with NBA-level potential, but also Alexander-Jansen, whose talent is undeniable. Meanwhile, at Wake Forest University, Chris Paul has elevated their level to a level beyond their capabilities. Even with Chen Dong joining, they're at best a top-16 team, a far cry from the final four or championship level!
