Media frenzy to attract attention of domestic fans

  "Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the NCAA tournament round of 32, rewarded with 2 honor points."

  "Ding! Congratulations to the host for tying the NCAA Tournament single-game scoring record for a freshman rookie, awarding 1 honor point."

  There are honor point rewards for tying records?

  Wouldn't that be more record breaking?

  After returning to the school dormitory, Chen Yan laid down on his bed and studied his system.

  Next, he converted two honor points into one attribute point and added it to the center throw.

  The center shot attribute has also changed from the original [77] to [78].

  The reason why it was added to the mid-range shot is because Chen Yan scored most of his points in the game from breakaways and mid-range shots.

  It's the mid-range shot that one relies more on as a regular offensive weapon at this stage than the three.

  The NCAA is not the NBA, where relying on breakaways and mid-range shooting has been enough to settle games.

  Moreover, he is now on the low side of the three-point attribute, and it is very difficult to add it in the short term, so let's wait until his hands are rich.

  "Chen, you're on fire!"

  A sudden yell from Du Xiaoshuai came from the living room!

  Chen Yan had just turned off the system when Xiao Shuai killed Chen Yan's bedside with his laptop in his arms.

  "Supernova Rising Out of the Blue! 33 Points Ties Anthony's Record!

  "A player made for the five best balls? He gently shakes his head and says it's all basic!

  "Passing Like Water! He Waltzes Around the Stadium in March Madness!

  The X Factor? No, He's Become the New Hero of the Texas Longhorns!

  Chen Yan glanced at the screen full of news, so many outrageous headlines, this is what a person can come up with?

  Chen Yan took a deep breath, but I like it...

  It's outrageous but still weirdly fun to watch.

  Now he could finally understand why Durant liked to surf the web and peruse his news daily.

  Watching the media and fans hounding is really fulfilling, but only if the fight is good enough, otherwise it's not a hounding but a chasing.

  These news not only bring positive impact on Chen Yan's psychological level, but also increase his exposure in real terms!

  Two rounds in, his national reputation has been opening up.

  He's now not only the subject of discussion on the lips of fans, but has even attracted the attention of a large number of scouts.

  In the latest update of the draft projection rankings by ESPN Draft and DRAFT Draft, Chen Yan has quietly appeared in the list!

  ESPN Draft ranked Chen Yan as the 10th pick in the second round, while DRAFT Draft ranked him a bit higher, and Chen Yan saw his name in the early second round!

  Although the ranking was not high, seeing his name on the list was already enough to make Chen Yan excited!

  That means he's enough to reach the NBA threshold!

  Entering the NBA is Chen Yan's dream in his previous life, and it is also something that countless fans dream of!

  Now Chen Yan had the feeling that he was about to have his dream come true!

  Chen Yan was a little excited and had to once again marvel at March Madness' terrifying influence!

  'March Madness' continues, and as long as Chen Yan continues to perform at a high level, I believe the rankings will grow significantly!

  It all came a little fast, but I have to say that these NBA scouts really know their stuff and saw their talent and potential in two games.

  Of course, he was able to quickly make the list without the huge Chinese market behind him.

  Yao's success has made every NBA team eager to have a Chinese player, after all, no one is going to mess with money.

  In addition to emerging as an All-American, the name Chen Yan has also appeared on the radar of domestic fans.

  Sports Weekly dedicated a column to Chen Yan, introducing Chen Yan's performance in the two games of March Madness and listing a series of statistics.

  Dunk SLA, Slam Dunk, NBA Time and other well-known domestic basketball magazines have also made special reports around Chen Yan.

  Sports Express also inserted a short video of Chen Yan's game in between the midday NBA battle reports to give a brief introduction to Chen Yan.

  Soon, there are gods over the wall to get Chen Yan's game highlights, placed in a certain poker basketball forum.

  "This nigga is Chen Yan? I'll believe you if you say it's Iverson!"

  "Chen Yan finally got the hang of it after a year of fighting!"

  "You call that enlightenment? It's like being enlightened!"

  "Bullish! Can we have such an awesome defender in China?"

  "If he keeps playing like this he'll definitely make it to the NBA, and there's something to be said for the Olympics at home next year!"

  The comments below the episode are blowing up!

  New fans were directly enamored, and fans who had previously hacked Chen Yan apologized.

  Fans are very real, you play well praise to the sky, play bad directly spray, not even go through the procedure.

  Although I have read some relevant reports, most fans still do not know much about the NCAA, only know that the cradle of training NBA players here, the basketball atmosphere is very strong, and the level of competition is very high.

  Basketball Herald editor-in-chief Su wrote a special blog about it.

  In this blog, he details the history of the Texas Longhorns, the rules of the NCAA, the impact of 'March Madness' across the nation, and Chen Yan's insane performance in these two games.

  This blog exploded with hits straight away!

  Incidentally, it also sucked up a bunch of fans to Su Qun's blog.

  Su Qun said that he will track and update Chen Yan's performance afterward, and will even go to the United States for an exclusive interview with him when he has the chance.

  He's kind of got the blog figured out, and the word Chen Yan now represents the traffic code.

  Although his popularity was rising both at home and abroad, Chen Yan didn't have time to enjoy the thrill of one goal to fame.

  Because the Sweet 16 is about to kick off in four days!

  Next up for Texas is traditional NCAA powerhouse Kansas.

  Kansas had upset Texas in overtime during the regular season stage, and the two teams arguably had some previous feuds.

  That's why this battle is also known to outsiders as the revenge battle of Texas!

  ...

  ...

  The matchup will be played on March 27 at the Toyota Center in Houston!

  It's still packed, and it's still crowded!

  Unlike the previous two matches, a good portion of the fans were here for Chen Yan tonight!

  The Little People Against the Odds biography, everyone's favorite story.

  Before the game, an ESPN reporter was in the stands specifically to interview some of the fans.

  "I drove all the way from San Antonio just to see a Chan game!"

  "I've seen his highlights and he's an incredible player!"

  "I know it's not easy for Asians in this sport, expect him to do well tonight as well and I'll be rooting for him all the way!" One Asian fan said.

  In addition to serious fans, Chen Yan has a small poke of face fans.

  "He's the talk of our whole school right now, and he's so stylish isn't he?"

  "I think he could be a model or something if he doesn't play basketball..."

  Soon the decibels in the bleachers went up.

  The Texas players came onto the field to warm up!

  Chen Yan and Durant had a bag of dry noodles each and walked out of the players' tunnel.

  It's the same opening again, another classic image!

  Unlike last time though both have switched it up.

  "Martin, why do you look so handsome? You've got half a bottle of hairspray in there, don't you?"

  Chen Yan glanced at Martin Hill beside him and felt that this kid was a bit off.

  Martin Hill has played a combined 1:07 in two March Madness games and belongs in the mascot class on the Texas roster.

  "HAT? Chen, what kind of question is that? Tonight is a live broadcast! If the camera sweeps me I'll be on TV!"

  Chen Yan: "..."

  Not to mention that Chen Yan had almost forgotten that tonight's match was broadcast live across the United States!

  Chen Yan shooting warm-up incidentally looked around, hordes of reporters, cameras in all directions, and a large number of broadcasting machines, the feeling is indeed very different from the previous game.

  With his first debut being an all-American broadcast, Chen Yan felt he had to put on a good show tonight!
