I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 457: The Rise of a New Star
Since the day Yan Shixian narrowly escaped death, he felt that he was different. He believed that with a ball in hand, the world was his.

There are many Chinese players who play basketball because of their physical talent, as if they should play basketball because of their height. They play basketball not because they love it, but because it suits them.

In the national team of Jiaobenji, there is even a main basketball player who is less than 1.7 meters tall. If it weren't for his passion, it would be hard to imagine that he could have a place in a group of tall players. If such a person were put in China, he wouldn't even have a chance to play. People with poor static talent would not be accepted by youth training coaches at all.

Any fan who has followed the Chinese men's basketball team knows how poor the basic skills of the current players are.

Under the opponent's tight pressure, he couldn't dribble past half court, his pass error rate was high, and rebounds were often blown away. What's more worrying is that he couldn't even shoot free throws well. There is only one reason for his poor free throw shooting: he is unwilling to practice hard.

The current Chinese men's basketball team can be said to be full of rough guys, with no skills at all, relying on physical talent to play. When they meet a weak team, they rely on physical strength, but when they meet a strong team with equally strong physical talent, they are doomed.

But Yan Shixian is different from them. He plays basketball first because he loves it.

Before Xia Qingdai's power of faith pulled him back from the brink of death and transformed his genes, his basketball skills were already superb. These were all acquired through his hard work of pitching day after day since he was a child, not given by the power of faith.

The power of Xia Qingdai's faith in the past accidentally gave him the opportunity to change his fate, but that only maximized his static and dynamic talents.

What really made him rise was his inherent basketball IQ and skills.

I am not afraid of geniuses in the world, I am afraid of geniuses working hard.

In the following matches, the performance of the entire Chinese team was astonishing. They actually fought back and forth with the German team, which was ranked in the top four in the world, and the situation was stalemate for a while.

Most of the players on the Huaxia team played very easily. They only had to run to the positions according to the tactical settings, and the ball would be passed to them very comfortably to help them score.

The only person who played very hard was Yan Shixian, who started as a swingman today. In the first half alone, he made double-digit passes and assists.

In the second half, the German team exploited their teammates' offense thoroughly. Coupled with their own physical fitness declining, their error rate continued to rise, and their offense seemed to be at a standstill.

Yan Shixian, who was substituted off the court for a rest, looked at the situation on the court and couldn't help but tighten the bottle of mineral water in his hand. Yao Ming, who was sitting behind him, showed an anxious and speechless expression, which was made into an emoticon package by netizens who were quick-witted.

"Coach, let me play. I've had enough rest." Seeing the score gap getting bigger and bigger, Yan Shixian couldn't sit still anymore and volunteered to play.

The coach had long wanted to use him. When Yan Shixian joined the team to participate in an internal competition, he already knew how useful this trump card in his hand was.

If it weren't for the fact that he had to be given some rest time, the coach wouldn't even want to replace him for a minute.

The Chinese team with Yan Shixian in the team and the Chinese team without him are basically two different teams.

The coach called a timeout and nodded to Yan Shixian, "Okay. Then you go ahead. It's up to you. Be careful."

"Well, leave it to me." Yan Shixian took the towel off his neck and threw it on the chair.

Yao Ming, who couldn't sit still, stretched out his big hand and pressed Yan Shixian's shoulder, as if giving him energy. This scene happened to be captured by the live camera on the side.

The knowledgeable commentator of CCTV-5 immediately began to explain with emotion: "At this moment, Yao Ming pressed on Yan Shixian's shoulder. I seemed to see the scene of the alternation of the old and the new in front of my eyes. This is the mutual appreciation of geniuses. The future star of Chinese basketball is back on the court. Let us wait and see." "Yan Shixian played too hard. The coaching staff is using him to death." Xia Shanglu sighed, "But the current Chinese team really can't do without him."

Xia Qingdai was surprised and asked, "Isn't he still a young general? How come those experienced people who are older than him are not as good as him?"

Xia Shanglu sneered: "Those people are so old that they are almost dead."

Xia Shanglu, who is very disappointed with his teammates, can be regarded as a black fan of the Chinese men's basketball team. He is merciless when criticizing them.

The only one he liked was Yan Shixian. If Yan Shixian hadn't been on the basketball team this time, Xia Shanglu wouldn't have wasted the money to go to Paris to watch the Chinese team lose.

It's okay to be embarrassed, but he can't spend money to watch his national team be embarrassed.

Yan Shixian did not disappoint him. After returning to the court, he started the singles rampage mode and showed off his skills to the fullest.

For Yan Shixian, the stronger the opponent, the more excited he is, and the more he can unleash his physical potential.

With his physical fitness transformed by the power of faith, he would have been a top player in the NBA. He had been staying in the domestic college league for the past year, which was a complete waste of talent.

Now that he has entered the international arena, it is time for him to show his ambitions.

Although he was sweating profusely and panting heavily, his spirit was very excited and he didn't feel tired at all.

Every time he jumped high and blocked the ball from the opposing players, he felt genuinely happy when he saw their stunned faces.

Who says yellow people are not good?
I just want to show you!
The group of German basketball stars who wanted to treat the Chinese team as weaklings before the game were stunned by Yan Shixian's god-like performance.

They haven't met such a strong newcomer for a long time. Even in the NBA, there are few young people like this.

In today's game, Yan Shixian was the absolute core. His performance not only earned him frequent close-up shots on China Central Television (CCTV), but his heroic presence was also frequently replayed on the major screens in the stadium.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in the stands of the stadium started singing while shaking his arms. Then his singing resonated with all the Chinese fans present, and finally formed a magnificent chorus that resounded throughout the stadium.

"Young people are naturally wild, their bodies are as straight as mountains and rivers.

I dare to measure the sun and the moon again, today I am only a young man.

I dare to ask the heaven and earth to test my sharpness, who can stop me from cutting through thorns and brambles?
The world laughs at me, but I strive to be strong and live up to my youth—"

Xia Qingdai looked up in amazement at her brother who also stood up and became crazy. Hearing him yelling "Young people have their own strengths" over and over again, she felt like her glasses were going to shatter to the ground.

This is the madness of basketball fans. It's really unbearable.

Of course Yan Shixian was also really awesome, because after he came on the court, the score was quickly catching up and victory was in sight.
