Chapter 412 Harden's depression

At the end of February, the NCAA competition has already been in full swing, and the teams that can enter March Madness have also been determined one after another.

After the game against the Bobcats, Qian Duoduo went to the scene the next day to watch a crucial game between the Sun Devils and the University of Southern California Troy.

In this game, as long as the Sun Devils can win, they can enter March Madness, and if they lose, they can only go home.

This year Harden is bound to leave the school team and enter the NBA. He left Qian Duoduo before, and Harden left again. The Sun Devils failed to recruit the next talented player. Basically, don’t expect it next year. There may not be any hope for the next year.

Last year, Harden was persuaded by Coach Pella to stay with the team. He did not participate in the NBA draft with Qian Duoduo. He wanted to bring the Sun Devils into March Madness again. This is what Harden personally promised to Coach Pella. things.

So Harden is doing his best and going all out in this crucial game.

But the Troy team with DeRozan did not show any weakness. The whole army used their lives to stop the Sun Devils. Last year they lost to the Sun Devils led by Qian Duoduo and Harden. This year they have to get revenge.

Harden doesn't have much money to help this year. The Trojans are extremely resolute in encircling Harden. If Harden gets the ball, double-team it. If Harden has the ability, pass the ball. Let's see if the teammates around you can kill him. We, do you really think that you still have Qian Duoduo, a perverted and accurate player, in the team?
Qian Duoduo watched anxiously from the sidelines. Many times Harden was double-teamed by two or even three people on the court and passed the ball, but his teammates just couldn't throw the ball into the basket, causing damage to the opponent. hit.

This kind of single-core leads the team forward, and I am exhausted from playing. The teammates are not strong enough, and I am trapped to death. This loss is suffocating.

Without Qian Duoduo's containment and pressure sharing on the court, Harden played very hard. After the first half, Harden relied on his strong scoring ability to carry the team to prevent the Troy team from being stretched too far. The point difference is only 4 points behind, but in the second half, he still plays like this. Even if Harden has a body like a bull, he can't hold back. There are several people around him watching and defending against him anytime and anywhere. He will also be tired. There was a problem with his physical fitness, his shooting percentage continued to decline, and his offensive efficiency dropped significantly compared to the first half.

As a result, the Troy team finally won the game by defending against Harden alone.In the end, basketball is still a game of five players. It is difficult to rely on only one player.Harden wanted to kill the enemy, but he was powerless. The team lost 13 points and watched the team's hope of entering March Madness slip away.

After the game, Qian Duoduo appeared in the Sun Devils locker room. He first greeted his former teammates, and then walked up to Harden, who looked lonely and sad.

"Duoduo, we lost. I didn't do what I promised Coach Pella. I'm very sad!" Harden looked up at Qian Duoduo who was approaching, and said softly with a sad tone.

"Your way is in the NBA, and there is a bigger stage waiting for you. You can be sad tonight, and I can drink with you to let you vent. Tomorrow I have to fly to Los Angeles to play an away game against the Lakers. It's gone." Qian Duoduo reached out and patted Harden on the back.

"Aren't you going to play tomorrow? Shouldn't you have already flown to Los Angeles by this time? Why are you still free?" Harden heard Qian Duoduo's words, and looked up at Qian Duoduo with his weakly drooping head , he is very aware of the Suns' schedule, and he always pays attention to it.

"I told the coach that I will go there early tomorrow morning to join the team, and it won't delay tomorrow's game, so tonight, let's go and have a drink," Qian Duoduo said.

Only then did Harden realize that Qian Duoduo didn't fly away with the team, but came to watch his game specially. What else is there to say, brother, there is no need to talk too much.

He stretched out his hand and shook Qian Duoduo's hand vigorously. The two of them kept everything in silence. They didn't speak softly and pretentiously, and they knew each other's intentions.

"Go, go drink, have a good drink tonight, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" Harden stood up and put his hands on Qian Duoduo's shoulders, but he seemed a little struggling.

This height difference! NND!Harden complained in his heart.

"Duoduo, I'm going to the NBA too, hehe, I'm finally going to the NBA!" Harden said beside Qian Duoduo.

"Are you afraid that I will rob you of your light?" He continued, not shy at all when he said this.

"You can grab it if you have the ability, but I see you, you need to go through a year or two of training before you can become famous." Qian Duoduo inadvertently revealed a little about Harden's future development.

"Tch, why can you be a blockbuster, but I need a period of time to hone it?" Harden stared, a bit like Zhang Fei.

"Because I'm a genius! A genius can be a blockbuster anywhere!" Qian Duoduo said with a smile.

Qian Duoduo's words are a bit poignant. He Harden was also said to be a basketball genius since he was a child, but he compared himself with Qian Duoduo and found that what this guy said was true. There is no way to argue.

Qian Duoduo has grown from an ignorant boy who couldn't play on the school team who had to practice with Harden at the beginning, to being recommended by him to join the school team, and then to play the main team of the school team, to the Olympic Games and now the NBA All-Star, this development The speed of evolution, what else can it be if it is not a genius?
Harden can only admit in his heart that Qian Duoduo is indeed a bit more genius than himself, um, just a little bit, not more.

"Duo Duo, you said that if I enter the NBA, at what pick can I be selected?" Harden is still full of expectations for the NBA draft.

"The top ten is for sure!" Qian Duoduo would not say the top three and top five. He knew that Harden would be the No. Say Harden has a higher draft pick than himself?And this life is still full of unknowns. Whether Harden will be selected with the third overall pick is still uncertain, even he doesn't know.

"If this is the case, it would be great!" Harden said a little excitedly, "You said that if I can go to the Suns, it would be great to fight side by side with you. You guys have the first-round pick in your hands. , Do you think your team will pick me?"

"If you are not selected by the previous team and fall into our pick, then we will definitely not miss it." Qian Duoduo said with certainty, and he also believed that Cole would definitely do the same. Who would miss it? A future superstar, MVP-caliber player?Cole's vision is still there.Harden also mingled with the Suns through him, trained together, and played together. Cole must know a lot about Harden.

Harden suddenly became excited, and the depression that the team failed to make it to March Madness subsided a little bit. The vision for the future development prospects of the NBA is really exciting, especially the possibility of being on the same team with his good brothers Conquest, that feeling, to be honest, is really great. He Harden is really fed up with the days of leading the team alone without support and help for a year. He is exhausted and cannot lead the team to make progress. , Depressed enough.

But this kind of excitement is short-lived. As soon as he started to drink and drank a little more, Harden couldn't help talking about the story between him and Pera, his feelings for the Sun Devils, and how he hoped to be able to play. Leading the team into March Madness again... At the end, he couldn't cry, he was really sad and disappointed. For this result, he stayed in the university and worked hard for another year, and his grades were even worse than last year.

Qian Duoduo stayed with and listened all the time. When Harden was drunk, he took Harden back to the residence, settled him down, and then hurriedly washed and slept for some time.
