From sparring to superstar

Chapter 57 56.Beat LA?

The party drove late into the night, and after the end, Jessica booked a car to pick up the guests and live in a nearby hotel.

Li Ao went to the hotel to take a shower and fell asleep. He suddenly turned into a chef. He didn't find it troublesome. He likes to cook, but he will definitely be tired.

Early the next morning, Li Ao and his party went to Jessica's house to say goodbye, then went to Oakland Airport and flew back to Los Angeles.

Li Ao and Vivian went back to the apartment to rest until noon. Vivian didn't let Li Ao cook this time, and ordered takeaway on the phone. Li Ao had to go to the arena for training in the afternoon.

On Liam's side, after the party last night, he stayed up late to summarize what Li Ao said. In addition, he understands investment better than Li Ao, understands current affairs better, and knows how to figure out the thoughts of political and business leaders. He wrote a The super long analysis report, I went home immediately after leaving the airport, and cheated the old man of money.

At 1:[-] in the afternoon, Li Ao came to the Memorial Stadium to prepare for tomorrow's match with the Huskies with the team.

The meeting took 10 minutes, the training took 20 minutes, and the warm-up took half an hour...

They really looked down on the Huskies, chatted a few words in the preparation meeting, and then went to the next opponent, the Duke team.

The 20-minute training is just a routine tactical movement training.

Next is free training time. At this point in the season, the difference in perseverance, perseverance, and emphasis is already obvious.

The 12-man main roster has stabilized, and the enthusiasm of the other 6 members of the roster has dropped. No, today's free training time, only two people are still persisting.

The members of the 12-man main roster have high and low enthusiasm, like Nate Hale, as a former high school genius, one of the best high school students in the state, and an existence looked up to by his classmates. He has played 12 games in the new season. As a substitute, the mentality has been affected.

Fortunately, the team atmosphere is good, and their attitude is not slack, but they often complain about themselves, restless with the status quo but have no ability to break the pattern.

This is very common in college basketball. Depending on your ability to adjust, you can either accept it, become stronger, or give up.

Strangely, the hardest working person at this stage is Sam Clancy!
Brusenthal and Trepagnier worked hard and often practiced until eight or nine in the evening. Li Ao was not surprised. Unexpectedly, Sam Clancy was even more aggressive, showing his extreme grass-tolerant characteristics.

If things go on like this, even if this teammate can't play in the NBA, it will be no problem to be a submachine gun in Europe, a kangaroo or a flower planter as a striker.

The most surprising thing is Shelby Jordan. Recently, I often see this teammate who doesn’t care about anything, lives day by day, and only thinks about where to make money. He stays to practice defense and cut into the frame.

After they really had the possibility of creating some brilliance, they also became active.

Really a teammate with a full golf quotient, who knows exactly what he should do on the court.

It's a pity that this teammate, like those players of the Cardinals, is very good in college and in the team, but his physical fitness is difficult to support them to go professional.

If you add ten centimeters to your height, you will be a center forward, and you will have a fight...

But Li Ao didn't worry too much about this, everyone has his own life!
At least for now, they're a Tim and they're fighting together!Let's talk about the future.

Li Ao approached Xavier Johnson for special training, but Xavier Johnson refused.

"Today you practice the emergency stop to catch the ball and turn around to make mid-range shots. The head coach of the women's team has been complaining about not giving them special training. I am the chief shooting coach, so I can't just focus on you, right?"

"Oh, I heard that the Women Warriors team has transferred a power forward with very long legs and a very good figure."

Xavier Johnson said angrily: "I'm a coach! I'm a teacher at a higher level! How could I play the players' ideas!"

"It's only a pervert who plays with players' ideas. You're just an LSP, and you've had an eye addiction. That's normal."

"..."

Xavier Johnson walked away cursing, Li Ao nodded, he guessed right, it was an LSP.

It doesn't matter if there is no special training from the shooting coach. It is true that his current development progress in CIC is stuck on the basic skills of emergency stop and catch. He called and shook the old man over, chatting and training, which is enough.

After resting for a day, Li Ao was in a great mood for training today, and when practicing catch-and-stop jump shots, his thoughts were more fluid.

On Wednesday, the Trojans took on the Huskies at home.

The preparation stage was too easy, but when it came time for the game, the Trojans played brutally!

Granville started with 4 counterattacks in a row, scored 8 points in a row, and then scored 3 points and 2 assists, making the puppy want to go home.

The start is 16 to 4!

Momentum, strength, confidence... The Trojans are no longer the same as when they played against the Huskies last time.

Facing the last-last Huskies in the division, if they really want to play, it is not without the possibility of hitting the largest point difference in the history of the division.

But Henry Bibby didn't have such bad tastes. Seeing that the point difference widened, he immediately replaced him, specially adjusted his tactics for that kid, and started to support the striker.

Li Ao was very excited to practice with a puppy, and went on stage to experience what it was like to be the core.

After the game restarted, Li Ao encountered Dion Luton's mad dog defense.

However, although the momentum is sufficient, the effect is not very good. It is okay to let Dion Luton soar offensively, but the defense is too difficult.

Li Ao made good use of Luton's over-excited emotions and over-active defensive actions, and got a lot of opportunities to catch and shoot.

But it is a pity that the opponent's supplementary defense is really poor. After the point difference was widened and the hope of an upset was lost, the enthusiasm of the Huskies players was almost zero. Li Ao played 27 minutes tonight and had no assists.

好在有15投8中、外加6中4的罚球，拿到单场20分！
At the end of the game, the Trojans played casually on offense and defense, and all the players guarding the water cooler got a chance to play, but they still maintained a huge lead.

靠着李敖的20分5板1抢断2盖帽、格兰维尔的14分14助攻、查理斯的12分19板……特洛伊人队以86比65大胜哈士奇队，拿下13连胜！

A new week has arrived. On Tuesday afternoon, Li Ao came to Portland with the team. After a night's rest, he came to the Matthew Knight Stadium to challenge the University of Oregon Duke.

Sports venues named after individuals are still quite rare. Li Ao checked it out and found out that it was built with full donations. It cost [-] million U.S. dollars and was the highest single donation ever received by the University of Oregon.

This Matthew Knight is the guy who founded Nike, a graduate of the University of Oregon.

After entering the arena, Li Ao took a look. This new stadium, which has just been repaired for less than two years, is definitely not as big as the Memorial Stadium. If the Memorial Stadium holds the Crazy Three Finals or the NBA All-Stars, the seats for 10,000+ people can be arranged.

But the seat distribution looks much more comfortable than the Memorial Stadium, and it should be that the space structure is well designed. The cheers and boos of 1 people are no worse than the 2 people in the Memorial Stadium.

"After making money and returning to China, I have to build an arena for the village BA, and I will support the development of domestic basketball."

At 7:[-] p.m., the Trojans and the Dukes meet for the second time this season.

At present, the Duke team ranks fourth in the division with 8 wins and 5 losses, overwhelming the Bruins. Their strength should not be underestimated. The preparation and game status of the Trojans is completely different from that of the Huskies a few days ago.

The Duke team also showed a strong comprehensive strength at the beginning of the game. Point guard Darius Wright has an excellent breakthrough ability; Fred Jones has a strong shooting ability, excellent athletic ability, and sharp counterattack; Alex Skiles, a mature senior player, is excellent in all aspects. The three perimeters have strong offensive firepower and good defense.

The inside combination of Ed Smith and Bryan Brees has shortcoming. The former is 206 centimeters and the latter is 201 centimeters. In fact, not only the two of them, Fred Jones and Alex Skiles are only 193 centimeters .

This makes their one-on-one frame protection performance extremely weak, but with the advantages and disadvantages, their rotation defense is even better than the Cardinals!
In the starting stage, the Trojans didn't get any bargains. Thanks to their carelessness, they played very hard, so they bit the score in the opening stage. When Henry Bibby called a timeout at 6 minutes and 39 seconds, the score was . 9 to 13, the Trojans fell behind by 4 points.

In the rotation stage, Li Ao and Brusenthal were replaced, and Granville, Shelby Jordan and White Mamba continued to play.

After Li Ao came on the court, in terms of scoring, he played the worst performance since 7 games. He has scored in double figures in 6 consecutive games, and he made 2 of 0 shots in the first half tonight.

The tallest player in the Duke team is only 206 centimeters, not only the starter, but also the substitute.

This gives the Duke team a strangle-level mid-range defensive ability. If Li Ao develops a catch-and-stop jumper and has a poor rhythm, he may be able to fight, but since he doesn't, then just don't score. contribute.

He has scored in double figures in 6 consecutive games and averaged 11.07 points per game. He has a mid-range shot, and with the white mamba outside the three-point line, Brusenthal has a lot of opportunities for one-on-one singles inside!
After Brusenthal came on the court, the lack of one-on-one defensive ability of the Duke team was fully revealed. Li Ao's mid-range running position not only restrained the opponent's defense, but also gave Brusenthal the best choice for scoring.

With Li Ao's support, Brusenthal takes off tonight!
轮换阶段布鲁森塔尔一度连进4球，其中有一个2+1，连砍9分，上半场14分钟不到的时间拿到了15分。

This was completely beyond the expectations of the Dukes. On the second match day of this season, when the two teams met for the first time, Brusenthal was not so powerful.

At that time, Brusenthal faced defenders who were not as heavy as him, and always avoided confrontation. Ed Davis and Flo Hartenstein were both good at defending against skilled strikers. Brusenthal It was a bad night.

Obviously, when the Duke team researched the new version of the Trojans, they focused on Li Ao and Bai Mamba. They have attracted much attention since they defeated the Wildcats.

With the help of Brusenthal's inside attack, Li Ao got 3 assists during this period. In addition, after Granville and Shelby Jordan were replaced, Tre Pagnier, who came off the bench, performed well in attacking the inside ...

The offense stabilized and Fred Jones' counterattack was contained.

In positional battles and running positions, Fred Jones also played crazily against Li Ao, and his catch and shoot performance declined severely, which affected the overall offense of the Duke team.

After halftime, the Trojans overtook the Dukes by 39 points 33-6!
In the second half, Henry Bibby first used a defensive lineup to fight the opponent, and sent a combination of Nate Hale, Trepagnier, Li Ao, Shelby Jordan, and Charles.

After more than 7 minutes of anxiety, Brusenthal, White Mamba, and Granville were replaced, plus Trepagnier, Li Ao, and the victory was established in the middle of the second half.

At the critical moment, Granville used Trey Pagnier's pick-and-roll to break through and pass the ball to Li Ao. Li Ao then passed to Bai Mamba. The last hope of counterattack!

The score remained unchanged until the final whistle sounded at 8:45 pm.

靠着布鲁森塔尔赛季新高的26分、白曼巴的12分、特雷帕格尼尔的9分、查理斯的11分……特洛伊人队7分优势击败公爵队，拿下14连胜！

Li Ao made 4 of 1 shots tonight, plus 2 of 1 free throws to get 3 points. That goal was followed by Granville and Sam Clancy's counterattack, and he deducted one in response. It was thrilling that he did not refresh his personal lowest score in a single game. .

He scored the lowest score of his college career with 2 points in a single game, and his opponent was also the Dukes.

除了这3分，他还有2板5助攻1抢断1盖帽，合计拿到115成就点。

He won the double kill again and got another 500 achievement points. Currently he has 7065 achievement points.

The accumulated achievement points of 'Dark Horse Attack' also reached 7000!

After glancing at the system prompt, Li Ao was about to celebrate the victory with his teammates, when suddenly there were sparse shouts, and they became more and more orderly.

After being swept away, you still want to provoke a wave?What is this operation?
Eh!No, this voice...

"Beat LA"

"Beat LA"

"Beat LA"

"..."

Inside Matthew Knight Stadium, the crowd chanted 'Beat LA'.

Li Ao was stunned for a moment, the fat man still had an afro to watch the ball?
Look around, no!
And at this time, the Lakers haven't won a championship for many years. In the past three years, they have either been swept or lost 1 to 4 in the playoffs.

No, this should not be talking about the Lakers, but... the Bruins!

Their Trojans won tonight, tying the longest winning streak set by the Bruins in 73 years since the 74-26 season.

During the game, the Dukes fans hoped to end their Trojans winning streak, but they had already won the Trojans, and the Dukes fans hoped that they would surpass the Bruins!

It is understandable that although the Bruins have only won one championship in the past 26 years, in these years, in the Pac1 league, except for the Bruins who won the National Championship in 10, only the Wildcats won the National Championship in 95. Although the record of the Cardinals can be compared with these two teams, their style of play is doomed that they will not go far in the Crazy Three. The last time the Cardinals won the championship was at the beginning of the establishment of the NCAA Basketball Championship in 1997.

自1928年pac10联盟建立、1938年NCAA篮球全美级别锦标赛建立以来，整个pac10联盟拿到的13个全美冠军，有11个是棕熊队拿下的。

That is to say, this league has been ruled by the Bruins for more than 60 years!

The Bruins are also known as the Lakers of the NCAA. It is conceivable how much they are hated by people. The most hostile and hated team is naturally other teams in the same league.

With 7 consecutive championships, the possibility of that thing being broken in theory is almost zero.

But after the 7 consecutive championships, the Bruins set the longest winning streak in the division. If there is a team that hopes to break, as long as it is not the Bruins, fans of the other 8 teams will support it!

But this slogan...

屮!
Li Ao heard his teammates shouting "Beat LA" after the away fans!
Nima!

We are also a team in Los Angeles, okay?

I hit myself?
