Chapter 40 The True Golden Eagle Spirit

Marquette University's schedule at the beginning of the new season is a little rushed.

At the beginning of the season, there was a back-to-back at home.

And this is not the only back-to-back at the beginning of the new season for Marquette University.

Against Indiana University on November 23, against Gonzaga University on November 24, and against the University of Tennessee on November 21, Marquette University will play five games in the week from the 17th to the 24th at the beginning of the season.

Moreover, the last three of these five games are all away games, and all three opponents are also strong teams.

Among them, Indiana University is the No. 20 seed of the NCAA this season.

Marquette has had a rough start to the season.

Those three tough opponents are for later, though.

In what is now the Bradley Center, before the game, it was a sea of ​​joy.

Quite festive, nostalgic and harmonious.

The opponent in this game, Chicago State University, is very special, mainly because the head coach of Chicago State University is very special.

In addition, the team played a bit difficult last game, but won, which is considered a good start.

Especially the team's three newly promoted upstarts, Wade, Chen Xiao and Ron Howard all performed very well in the last game.

This has greatly increased the exposure of Marquette University in the United States, and they are also proud of it.

How many years have not been the eyes of the United States.

In the current environment in 2001, although the spread of public opinion is still not exaggerated, there is already a network.

Television media and print media are also very developed. Although Marquette University’s current exposure is constantly at the top, there are still many.

At the very least, the name of Marquette Mitaka, after the last game, has spread more powerfully and is more worthy of the name.

After Chen Xiao scored 20 points in the last game, everyone who saw Chen Xiao's data in newspapers or other media would be stunned.

"Oh, it turns out that the Chinese in the Marquette Mitaka is not just a mascot. He also has good strength. The Marquette Mitaka is really Mitaka, not Erying!"

Regarding the fact that there are actually only two of the Marquette three eagles, different groups have different opinions. Some people say that Ron Howard is the little golden eagle that disappeared because his exposure is relatively low.

And some people think that Chen Xiao is the little golden eagle that disappeared, and his strength is too good.

The two groups of people in the dispute were almost 50-50 before, but now, the Ron Howard faction is on the rise!

If one of the Marquette Mitakas must disappear, this one must be, Ron Howard!

In this regard, Ron Howard said, Brother Ro, I actually don't care at all.

"Marquette University's perimeter offense is very strong, especially their two offensive guards, Wade and Chen. In this game, we are not here to chase stars. The photo with Wade and Chen can be done after the game. , now, we want to earn everyone's respect, we want to take back what belongs to us!"

"Teach, coach!"

"What's the matter, tell me!"

"I, I also want to take a picture with Ron Howard after the game."

"..."

Chicago State head coach Beau Ellis is speechless about his team's scumbag disciples.

Is there any pursuit left? !

Because he was born in the most glorious Golden Eagle period of Marquette University, and he was the second head of the team when Marquette University won the championship in 1977.

After leaving Marquette University to become the head coach of Chicago State University in 1998, he has been transmitting the "Golden Eagle Spirit" that performed miracles in the NCAA to the team.

Iron blood, enthusiasm, defense, never admit defeat!

Since I came to Chicago State University in 1998, it's just right, this is the fourth season.

All the players on the team were found and trained by him himself, and there is no remnant of the previous dynasty.

Logically speaking, as a direct inheritor of the "Golden Eagle Spirit" of Marquette University, he has been at Chicago State University for so long, not to mention creating the "Golden Eagle Miracle" of Marquette University in 1977, at least it is amazing To the shadow of some golden eagle?

But look at these boys...

Bo Ellis was speechless.

Since Marquette University decided to abandon the Golden Eagle spirit and try to invite Tom Kline, who runs counter to the Golden Eagle spirit, to be the head coach of the team instead of letting him, the guardian of the Golden Eagle spirit, lead the team, he chose to leave directly. .

He left before Tom Klein arrived.

He didn't allow his Golden Eagle spirit to be ruined by Tom Kline.

"The legacy of the Golden Eagle spirit that Marquette University was once proud of is now at Chicago State University!"

"Sooner or later, I will come back with a counterattack!"

That's the oath he took as head coach at Chicago State University.

Four years have passed.

10 wins and 18 losses...

5 wins and 23 losses...

3 wins and 24 losses...

That was his first three seasons at Chicago State.

This record makes him very depressed. The more he instills the 'Golden Eagle Spirit' in the team, the worse the team's record will be.

He left Marquette University to prove that the sinking of Marquette University in the past two decades has nothing to do with the Golden Eagle spirit.

The school leaders dumped the blame on the Golden Eagle spirit. This was a premeditated and prepared surprise attack.

But now, these things he did at Chicago State University not only failed to justify the sacred Golden Eagle spirit in his heart, but even indirectly proved that the Golden Eagle spirit was not good enough.

He promoted the Golden Eagle spirit at Chicago State University like a pyramid scheme, and in the end he didn't let his players have the admiration for the Golden Eagle spirit and the excitement of counterattacking Marquette University.

Instead, it made the players admire Marquette University and Marquette University players...

"I want you to worship the spirit of the Golden Eagle, not Marquette University!"

"Marquette University without the spirit of the Golden Eagle is not worthy of admiration at all!"

"You yourself are the orthodox Golden Eagle!"

Looking at his disciples who were not in the game at all, Bo Ellis felt his heart hurt, very, very painful.

Obviously, everything he did was learned from the godfather of the "Golden Eagle Spirit", his mentor, and the legendary head coach of Marquette University, Al McGuire. Why is the result so different?

"Could it be that the eagle born in the west of the lake is an eagle, and the eagle born in Hunan is a chicken?" (ps: The lake is the Great Lakes)

Beau Ellis felt like he was about to doubt life.

The players from Chicago State University have been paying attention to Marquette University, and Chen Xiao and the players from Marquette University are actually also paying attention to Chicago State University.

Chicago State is a very special opponent for Marquette.

Because the head coach of Chicago State University Bo Ellis has been saying outside: "The current Marquette University is a pseudo-Golden Eagle, and the Golden Eagle is orthodox at Chicago State".

If other people say this, don't take it seriously.

Anyway, the spirit of the Golden Eagle is the symbol of Marquette University, who can take it away?

But there are three people in this world who can be deprived.

One is the legendary head coach of Marquette University, McGuire, the creator of the Golden Eagle spirit.

The other two were the two leaders of the team at the time, Butch Lee and Bo Ellis, who actually played the "Golden Eagle Spirit".

Therefore, when others say this, the current player coaches of Marquette University can be regarded as "puff puffs".

But that would be different, this person said.

Even many Marquette fans themselves have thought so over the past two years.

Tom Klein has been under so much pressure in the past two years, and a very important part of the reason is that because of Bo Ellis's statement, a large number of Marquette University's own people have betrayed them.

If it hadn't been for the Alaska Challenger championship, it is guaranteed that the Bradley Center will be full of cheers for Bo Ellis now.

Even now, it's half and half.

This shows how popular Bo Ellis' words are.

"I've been with Mr. Klein for two years, and this is the first time I've heard him say something like this before a game."

What words? of course……

"I can play as hard as I want in this match!"

Chen Ling looked at Wade and then at Tom Klein who was beside him with a vicious look.

Chen Xiao always thought that Tom Klein was a very gentle, very nice person.

He also felt that this statement did not fit Tom Klein's personality.

But he did say that before the game.

"So, how much Coach Crane hates this Marquette University legend..."

Chen Xiao now has a feeling that the team's two big centers were caught out this morning as a model of rectification, probably because they are going to play Chicago State University tonight!

How ruthless, how ruthless the beating!

Recalling the expression on the head coach Tom Klein's expression when he said this in the locker room, Chen Xiao subconsciously shuddered.

"This morning, Coach Klein is trying to make an example to others!"

If anyone is holding him back tonight, hehe, hehehe...

Here comes the problem.

So how ruthless is the ruthlessness in the coach's mind?

This task is not easy to do.

No wonder after tonight's first game came out, Dina was not disappointed, but felt relieved.

"This little clever ghost!"

After Tom Crean warmed up, and after a brief arrangement, Chen Xiao and other starting players stepped onto the court again under the leadership of Wade.

Marquette University's starting lineup for this game is Chen Xiao, Wade, Ron Howard, Ennamaka and Scott Merritt.

"Chen, although Chicago State University's results last season were not good, and the team's strength is also very average, but this game is different. This is a game related to the 'Golden Eagles' orthodoxy, so be careful."

After walking onto the court, Ron Howard reminded Chen Xiao cautiously.

Golden Eagle is orthodox...

Although Chen Xiao didn't know what the Golden Eagle Spirit was, she knew that the struggle for orthodoxy was always cruel.

In the history of orthodox disputes, rivers of blood have been shed, and bones are like mountains.

In sports, that is the cruelest derby.

Marquette University and Chicago State University should be a "Golden Eagle Spirit" derby.

"So, don't underestimate the enemy because you think you have improved a lot. This game is not easy to play."

Although Wade's voice was still so stinky, Chen Xiao still nodded this time.

Well, this game should be very difficult to play.

In this kind of orthodox game, if the opponent does not show 200% combat power, they will be sorry for the words "Golden Eagle Spirit"!

For such a difficult opponent, but also to play the 'ruthless' that meets the head coach's heart, this task is indeed hell-level.

but……

Only in such a difficult situation can I once again test my current true strength!

After a little meditation, Chen Ling became excited again.

ps: Guess the score of the 'Golden Eagle Spirit' battle in history, and whether it has reached the level of 'ruthlessness' required by coach Tom Crean.
