From sparring to superstar

Chapter 11 10. It's Definitely Retaliation
Played 3 rounds, ended hastily, and even beat someone, the impact was extremely bad.

There was no chance for the next big list selection, and he was directly kicked out.

He also received cruel punishments that the entire community frightened.

But being driven back to the small training ground to continue the special training, Li Ao was in a better mood.

"For newcomers see:
Goal: Surprise the coach and teammates in this intra-team training match. (completed)
Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: 1 primary lottery draw. "

In retrospect, Sam Clancy provoked him, and his instinct to fight back was a blessing in disguise.

Looking back on those few rounds, he felt that he did a good job, directly killing the momentum of the opponent's attack a few minutes before the end of the first half.

Xavier Johnson, who came to the small training ground together, also praised him: "You performed very well today, you defended very well, I didn't expect you to be so strong, you can even withstand that guy Sam, no wonder you just practiced shooting The strength has always been too large.”

Li Ao responded disdainfully: "He just looks tough, but he is actually a soft-footed shrimp. It is easy to deal with him... But I should be able to do it after a few more rounds. I have to practice hard."

The mouth is not forgiving but very compelling. Xavier Johnson admired Li Ao very much, and said with a smile: "We can all see your progress. Don't think that Henry doesn't give you a good face. In fact, he treats you right here. I am very satisfied with the turning point in this game."

The middle-aged man is satisfied?
can not tell.

Li Ao said: "That's not important, I'd better train hard, without this more than a month of hard work, I wouldn't be able to play those few rounds, the opportunity is not very good now, I just wait for the opportunity to come, I only had defensive performance just now , There is no shooting performance at all, Xavier, you are behind Sam in this wave."

Xavier Johnson feigned anger and said: "It seems that the amount of training I have arranged for you is not enough!"

Seeing that Li Ao is more enthusiastic about training, Xavier Johnson is also more motivated.

If Li Ao can really be cultivated, regardless of personal relationships, just talking about his career experience, it will be another highlight!
...

I practiced shooting in the morning and continued to practice defense in the afternoon. The mid-range shooting training has reached a qualified level, but the defensive training is still unqualified.

Li Ao didn't know whether it was calculated based on the judgment of the coach in charge of the guidance, or the judgment of the system. Anyway, every time he saw 'unqualified', he would want to work harder in the next training.

Although the coaching staff did not arrange training for him on Sunday, after the training in the afternoon, he still spent 100 achievement points to use the physical therapy function of the body, then ate two hamburgers and put on a pad first, and then went home for physical therapy + cooking.

After 'enjoying' the joy of having no negative feedback from the body on the second day of training, I can never go back. There is shooting training, and I use it when I get the opportunity to use it.

The disadvantage is that the cumulative speed of achievement points has plummeted by half compared to before.

After a busy day, Li Ao was a little excited when he returned to his room.

First draw!
Wash and wash for nothing, change into the white pajamas specially used for the lottery, sit on the bed with five hearts turned to the sky, and calm down the mind.

Whether this operation has any effect on the lottery draw, he probably has no effect, but Lu Xun said it well, life must have a sense of ritual.

Once he sat down to meditate, he didn't have any other feelings, but his legs were numb.

Smoke it!

Li Ao issued an instruction in his heart, the system screen appeared, and he came to the lottery drawing interface.

A white light flashed, and just when he was wondering why it wasn't the purple light before, the system prompt came.

"The host's first lottery draw, today's lottery draw will be blessed with good luck... Congratulations to the host for receiving a reward: 2 level 1 skill upgrade card fragment.

2级技能升级卡碎片：3个碎片可合成1张完整的技能升级卡，可指定1个1级技能升级至2级。”

That's a good reward, right?Li Ao is not sure whether this is easy to obtain or not, and there is no special mark like attribute points.

But what he cares more about now is the 'good luck blessing on the first day of the lottery draw'.

Regret can't stop coming out!

This effect would be great if it was drawn at intermediate or advanced levels!The probability of winning good things is definitely higher!
"Forget it, it's impossible to wait for a lottery chance. The entry-level lottery draw requires 1000 achievement points, and the intermediate and high-level ones don't get three to five thousand? Now I don't have the capital to take it easy. If there is hope, I will be able to win this year." The ball must be the first goal... I still have 2100 achievement points, take advantage of good luck and make another shot?"

Once this idea popped up, I couldn't stop it, and made a wave of impulsive consumption!
I issued an instruction in my heart, 1000 achievement points were deducted, and a white light flashed on the system screen...

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a book related to psychological endurance: "The Most Inspirational Genius, Drummond Green's Dream."

"..."

Li Ao looked at the prompt on the screen, and then looked at the extra book in his hand. He was speechless at first, and then his five senses gathered...

"Fucking! I can buy an inspirational chicken soup literature for two yuan and five on the stalls. Do I need a lottery?"

Distressed to the point of bleeding!

Turn off the system decisively, wash and sleep!At the end of 1100 achievement points, if you go in again, you will be poor and clean.

...

The next day, Sunday, early in the morning, Liam came to Li Ao's apartment with a bunch of breakfast.

Li Ao had no other plans today, and Liam's father didn't ask him to do extra studies, and they made an appointment to play games together.

I wanted to go to the arcade, but it was almost full on Sunday, and there was a long queue for everything, so I chose to play console games at Li Ao's house.

Since Li Ao joined the school team, the two spent less time playing together in their spare time. Originally, Liam often had to go home to receive education.

But Liam didn't complain that Li Ao put his mind on basketball, just like Li Ao didn't complain that Liam often had to go home to receive education.

Li Ao saw that he ate too much, so he went to wake Vivian up.

Hearing that Liam was coming, Vivienne was not in a very happy mood. She went out of the room in full clothes, feasting her eyes on good children, but not others.

But seeing so many delicious foods, she immediately felt that Liam was much more pleasing to the eye.

But this kind of pleasing didn't last long. After eating and drinking enough, she found that the dude was not pleasing to her eyes again. She asked her sisters to go shopping and left the big TV in the living room for Li Ao to play games.

Liam has long been used to this. There are many people who admire him, and there are also many people who dislike him. Among those who dislike him, Vivienne is considered the best.

After playing games all morning, Li Ao called to order some food. It was Liam's treat in the morning, and now it was Li Ao's turn.

Li Ao's treat is just fast food, but Liam doesn't dislike it either.

While waiting for lunch, Liam took out his mobile phone to send a text message, Li Ao was amazed at the speed of blind typing without turning his head and talking.

Li Ao took out the 'Inspirational Chicken Soup Literature' that he drew last night from his schoolbag.

After reading a few pages, he felt that if there was such a book in the future, he probably asked someone to write it himself.

The whole article is bragging, which is better than bragging about Lance Stephenson.

But the description is indeed very inspirational. If it is seen by Yilin and readers, it can be used to deceive people.

Liam saw Li Ao reading again, thinking that this guy was secretly working hard behind his back, so he came up to take a look, but the result was different from what he thought, it seemed to be a book on the street.

Liam asked, "How did you start watching this... is he inspirational?"

Li Ao struggled for a moment, and replied, "That's right, but after I got to know him, I had the impression that he was smart."

"How smart? Smarter than the two of us?"

"Well... To put it simply, in order to get more money, he first hurled insults at the colleague who helped him become famous and forced him to leave. The company had to give him more money to renew his contract in order to keep him; As he got older, his professional ability began to decline, but his professional ability was still considered excellent. At this time, his contract was about to expire again, so he found fault and beat up the younger brother who had always regarded him as the big brother. This younger brother was also very talented. After being beaten up, he didn't want to stay anymore, and his company had to spend more money to keep the two of them together..."

"..." Liam's expression was very embarrassing, and he held back for a while and said, "It's really smart. I need to pay attention in the future. My company can't have such a person... It's not right. Resources must be used rationally. Listen to your description. This guy is a talent... I think..."

Li Ao didn't expect Liam to think of so much by talking nonsense.

It's starting to look like a capitalist gradually!
Not long after, lunch arrived. After the two finished their lunch, they discussed it and decided to go to a nearby park to play.

Parks + basketball courts are standard equipment for cities with a good basketball atmosphere in the United States. The basketball atmosphere in Los Angeles has always been very good, because there are UCLA and the Lakers here.

The two came earlier, and there happened to be 4 people who were playing 2V2 and waited for someone to come, and they went straight to the field to start the fight.

But this time they played, the two almost fought with others.

Li Ao, who has received professional basketball training, likes strength when defending.

There is usually no defense when playing dam dam ball, and it looks like the defense is lively, but basically it is just pretending, blocking a block and directly shooting or attacking.

Li Ao's current defensive strength quickly aroused dissatisfaction from the opponent.

Moreover, his strength is different from that of ordinary quasi-professional players. According to his characteristics and the questions he asked, Sam Hayes made some adjustments in the confrontation training...

I was going to play for two hours, but it ended after less than 10 shots.

Seeing Li Ao's professionalism in playing, Liam felt a little regretful, but also happy.

He is a dude, but he is well-informed and his family education is very good. He knows that as he grows older, some things will 'not go back', so it is easy to accept this kind of thing.

For fun, there are many things that can be played. If you can’t play baba ball, then play CS online, what a big deal.

On Li Ao's side, this ba ba ball made him realize that his mentality had begun to change——

He is eager to play at a higher level!
...

A new week has arrived, and after another day of hard study, Li Ao rushed to the Memorial Gymnasium before four in the afternoon.

As he expected, he didn't have a part in the team training match this afternoon.

But Henry Bibby had other plans for him.

"From today on, you have to come to train every day except Sunday."

Hearing this arrangement, Li Ao's first reaction was to say something-you are targeting me again.

Instinctive reaction, instinctive reaction, but then he thought that maybe he was taken more seriously.

Just like the "resources" that Liam always mentions, the time of the team's assistant coach is a precious resource for the team. If it is used on him, other people's resources will be much less.

Seeing that Li Ao didn't complain, Henry Bibby was upset, he had already thought of the line to reply!

This kid always doesn't play his cards according to the routine!

He snorted and continued: "Although the number of training days has increased, the daily special training is shortened to one hour. After the special training on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, you still want to practice on your own. On Monday and Wednesday you After the special training, come and practice defense with the main players."

Practice defense?Li Ao asked: "Is it a sparring partner? You are really shrewd. Let me work for nothing. Coach, when did you become a capitalist?"

"I don't want you to go home directly after training!" Henry Bibby yelled directly.

But Li Ao had already turned around and ran to the gym, and Henry Bibby couldn't find a place to vent his anger.

This kind of good thing, those players who have no chance to be on the roster, do not know how eager it is, to this kid's mouth... He remembered a Chinese proverb he heard from Dean Teng - a dog can't spit out ivory!
At this moment, Henry Bibby heard someone arguing, and it turned out to be Sam Clancy again.

In a fit of anger, he stepped forward quickly and started cursing.

Sam Clancy was stunned, wasn't it just a quarrel?When will he not have some friction with his teammates?Why was she scolded so badly this time?
Eh?
Why again?
Another sad day for 'innocent' Sam Clancy.

On Li Ao's side, after practicing mid-range shooting for an hour, today's special training is over.

Today he failed to overfulfill the training task, because the training time is so much, so he did not get the 50 achievement points for overfulfilling.

Fortunately, his shooting training is now able to achieve a qualified performance, 50 achievement points are still available, and the 'body physiotherapy function' can also be used.

But the next defensive training is probably not enough...

Fortunately, the brain pumping was not so severe the day before yesterday, and there were more than 1000 achievement points left.

He didn't think about it for now, and walked towards the main training ground excitedly, he could be a training partner today!
Xavier Johnson followed a few steps, gave up, and muttered: "The physical strength of young people is good, but we should also take care of the bitterness of middle-aged men."

Li Ao came to the main training ground and went straight to Henry Bibby.

He glanced at it, and there were 23 players, most of whom were from Team A and Team B last Saturday, but not all of them were from Team A and B, and some of them should have been performed well by other teams in the last team training match.

By the way, I also played a 20-minute regular training match today, which must have summed up today's performance.

He found that other teammates who were training in basic skills were not very emotional.

Humanity always shines through, and he feels he is not alone anymore.

As soon as Li Ao arrived, Sam Clancy looked at him with eyes that wanted to eat people, but he chose to ignore it.

Bai Mamba paid attention to the relationship between the two, and was relieved to see that Li Ao had no special expression, but seeing Sam Clancy...

This guy, the scar is really healed, forget the pain!

No lesson learned at all!

Bai Mamba can only sigh that the team is really difficult to lead.

Henry Bibby saw that everyone was here and said: "We started training in groups, with 4 people in groups, and the two in the group will conduct offensive and defensive one-on-one training to strengthen individual one-on-one capabilities."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the 23 teammates focused on Li Ao, their eyes were full of resistance, and they almost wrote "I don't want to be with Leo" directly on their faces.

Seeing this, Henry Bibby said angrily, "I'm afraid of training in the team. What will I do when I meet the villains from other teams?"

Li Ao glared at Henry Bibby, does this classify him as a 'villain'?
Let's not talk about it rashly, is this still his pro-head coach?
Well, it seems like relationships have always been nasty.

Forget it, he is the head coach, he is just a training partner.

Sensing Li Ao's anger, Henry Bibby was in a good mood and said, "You don't have to worry, you will train 6 days a week, and each of you can play against him."

The teammates couldn't help cursing when they heard the words, they felt the bad taste of the head coach!

A primary school math problem flashed through Li Ao's mind, and he interjected: "Coach, you made a mistake, 6 training sessions are not enough for me to match up with each of them, and there will be at least 5 more people."

Everyone didn't react at once, even Henry Bibby, he resisted the urge to snap his fingers, and the complacency he had finally produced turned into anger once, and shouted: "I know you Chinese are good at math!
Hurry up and group!Brian, David, Sam, the three of you are with him! "

The others breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. Although Bai Mamba and Brusenthal, who were called by name, had a good relationship with Li Ao, they still didn't want to confront Li Ao. This guy was decisive, but since they were called, they also not afraid.

Sam Clancy was so excited that he could finally avenge the last time!

Li Ao felt that someone was in a hurry to retaliate against him because of his mathematical ability.

The three players who can shoot the most, have the best skills, and are the strongest in the frontcourt are all arranged for him, and they are all taller than him!

At this time, the mission prompt came!
"Excellent sparring:
Goal: The host needs to go all out in defensive training and give the coaching staff the help they need most.

Rewards: 50 achievement points for qualified performance, 100 achievement points for excellent performance, and 200 achievement points for successful defense, each opponent is calculated separately. "
