From sparring to superstar

87. Chapter 85. Make the state full

Once, Li Ao dismissed those lace rumors.

He felt that as time passed and people discovered his character, the rumors would be dispelled.

Now he found out in despair that what was supposed to be a rumor has now become an ironclad fact in people's eyes.

Lying next to him was Paris Hilton who had spent half the night together last night.

The chick had been stalking him since yesterday afternoon's win over the Gators, and she'd been there when he and his teammates went back to the apartment to celebrate after the game.

Because of the hospital assistant's aunt, he couldn't refuse the other party's request to celebrate together.

Of course, there is also the factor that he thinks he has face with a beautiful lady.

After that, he was abducted by this girl and went out for dinner, and after that, they came to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel together, and Paris Hilton began to be dishonest in the elevator.

Li Ao resisted repeatedly, but finally failed to keep his innocence.

Gunara's Holy Shield of Darkness provides full protection!
Produced by the system, absolutely safe.

Looking at Paris Hilton who was sleeping with a contented face, Li Ao was a little bit complacent, thanks to Jessica's training.

Unlike the night assassin Jessica who belongs to the skill stream, this rich daughter is a wild faction who is open and close.

...

After getting up and taking a shower, Li Ao came to the living room of the suite to watch TV, and called the front desk to deliver two breakfasts.

The sports channels of major TV stations are currently reporting on yesterday's game and analyzing the Crazy Three finals a few days later.

Last night, when he and Paris Hilton were in the test before the duel, Michigan State and North Carolina decided the winner.

The Spartans defeated their opponents 89 to 76 and reached the final.

Li Ao was quite surprised by this score.

The pre-match analysis of major media and experts did indeed say that the Spartans had a strength advantage, but he did not expect such a big gap.

North Carolina and Florida State University played an invitational match in the competition for places, and they played on par. North Carolina narrowly won by 3 points, and it seems that their strength should be similar.

The Spartans can actually win by more than ten points...

However, their Trojans once led the Gators by more than ten points, but in the end Mike Miller fought hard to narrow the gap.

With no chance of a comeback, Mike Miller still played so hard. At first, Li Ao thought that this guy was unwilling to lose, but after the game, he heard that Mike Miller announced to reporters that he was leaving the NCAA. Enter the NBA draft early.

Co-authoring was when the last game was played.

Donnell Harvey, the No. [-] high school student in the United States, also announced that he would end his college career early and participate in the NBA draft.

However, after playing a crazy three, Donnell Harvey's draft expectations not only did not rise as much as Mike Miller did, but also seemed to fall a little.

Li Ao now feels the disadvantage of the team's poor performance in the past-it is impossible to understand the opponent's strength more intuitively.

Invitational tournaments like North Carolina and the University of Florida are decided before the start of the season and submitted to NCAA officials.

Generally speaking, strong teams will have such invitational matches. Like the Spartans, there are as many as 6 invitational matches, and the opponents are all top teams. The Bruins are one of the opponents of the Spartans Invitational.

Therefore, in the competition for places, the Spartans will lose 3 games.

As for their Trojans, no team invited them before the season, and they didn't know what kind of opponent to invite. They were too weak to pass the official NCAA review, and too strong to beat, which would affect their record in the spot competition stage. At that time, they were only regarded as the fringe team of the crazy three. They might not be able to grab the spot in the first place, and they made it more difficult for themselves.

Besides, other strong teams may not necessarily accept their invitation.

Fortunately, they have already reached the finals, and it doesn't matter if they didn't know enough about their previous opponents before the match, they were all defeated.

The next opponent doesn't need to be known by fighting in advance.

The Spartans have been the top team since they won the championship in the 78-79 season. The current head coach Tom Izzo is the top coach in 95. He is in his early 40s and has the same coaching style as he once led the team to win the championship. Judd Heathcote is in the same line. Tom Izzo was Judd Heathcote's assistant at the beginning. Judd Heathcote retired at the age of 70 and Tom Izzo took over.

Strong strength, perfect system, mature style of play... These are the labels of the Spartans.

In addition to the comments on yesterday's game and the analysis of the No. 4 game, the personal performances of Li Ao, Mike Miller, Morris Pete, Bai Mamba and others yesterday also attracted much attention.

Other people's news is normal, but when it comes to Li Ao... Paris Hilton's yelling "I want to give birth to Leo" became popular all over the United States.

A passer-by took pictures of the two of them appearing in the restaurant last night. Although there was no video in the photos, it was unnecessary.

The fact that he was dating the rich daughter received more attention than his own performance.

Even the auntie of the hospital assistant sent a message, telling him to pay attention to safety, this guy is more flamboyant than those people in Hollywood.

By 8:[-], breakfast was delivered.

Li Aozheng wondered why it took more than an hour to order breakfast, and then saw a group of waiters come in to set up the table and put a table of dishes...

The waiter said "please have breakfast" and left.

(O_o)??
Li Ao asked with a question mark, do you call this breakfast?

By the way, this hotel seems to be owned by the girl in the room!
With such a big commotion, Paris Hilton in the room had already woken up, she rinsed her mouth and walked out of the room, naked, Li Ao was not afraid of being seen after thinking about it... It seemed that this girl was really not afraid.

After rinsing her mouth, Paris Hilton spit the water directly on the floor stand and threw the cup away, which made Li Ao's tooth hurt.

"Breakfast is here. I happen to be hungry too, so I'll eat some too."

Saying that, Paris Hilton walked over while facing Li Ao's gaze.

Seeing the other party's playful smile, Li Ao coughed dryly and looked away, saying, "The breakfast is so rich, it's the first time I've seen it... Hey, hey, what are you doing..."

...

At noon, Paris Hilton arranged for a car to take Li Ao back to the apartment.

There was no phone call, no extra understanding, and it was a war that started without the slightest emotion.

Arriving at the 18th floor, as soon as he got out of the elevator, Li Ao was scolded bloody by the middle-aged sassy man squatting at the elevator entrance.

Then there is no more then.

In this regard, the teammates watching had no opinion.

And they don't want to try to see if they get suspended for going out for a night out.

It's the finals, if you can't play, it will be a lifetime of regret.

After the head coach left, the teammates surrounded Li Ao.

Sam Clancy said sourly: "It seems that I was taken care of by Hilton..."

Before Li Ao could react, Shelby Jordan exclaimed, "What? So good? I'm so envious."

Granville said, "No, Leo's family is also very rich."

Trepagnier said: "But can the Hilton family have money? I think Sam makes a lot of sense..."

Got it!
Li Ao wanted to hammer these two again.

Originally, the teammates probably didn't think about it, and were directly led astray by these two people.

After finally getting rid of the gossiping teammates and returning to the room, Li Ao turned on the system.

48265 achievement points, it's a pity that the task of "The Eve of Greatness" will break through 5.

I also have a little regret for not getting Mike Miller's three-point action package.

The equipment upgrade card has been used.

"Experience Bracelet (Orange): When the host performs various basketball basic skills or technical training, it will receive a 50% training result bonus."

Directly increased from 25% to 50%!

Originally, when silver was upgraded to gold, he wanted to upgrade to 'card master' for a little while, but now he doesn't regret it at all.

After upgrading to 3 levels in a row, the effect of the experience bracelet has made a qualitative leap, soaring from 5% bonus to 50%.

Look at the 3 attribute points in the props section.

He has also used a lot of attribute points, and he has roughly figured out the rules.

This attribute point will not affect his untapped physical potential, but it can also be said to have an impact.

For example, he has the potential to improve his strength from 86 to 90, but after he uses attribute points to increase it to 90, his remaining potential may at most increase his strength from 90 to 91, and probably not even 92.

90到92两点力量提升所需的潜力，比86提升到90这4点力量提升所需的潜力要更多。

There will also be a difference in time-consuming. The strength improvement from 86 to 87 may be very fast with training, but from 89 to 90, it will inevitably take longer, and the training to be done must be more professional and targeted.

Thinking about it is a bit of a loss, but he thinks it should be used!
Only when the strength becomes stronger, can you get more attribute points to improve your physical fitness.

After thinking about it, he added two attributes to the explosive acceleration, raising it from 83 to 85, reaching the first-class level.

For the remaining 1 point, bounce is added, the bounce is increased to 81, and the bullet speed is increased from 84 to 85, which is also at the first-class level.

With 3 attribute points added to the outbreak, the system prompts!

“恭喜宿主撤步由84提升至85、横移由85提升至86、跨步由69提升至71。”

"Congratulations to the overall evaluation of the host from 78 to 79."

What a surprise!

A little bit of improvement is also an improvement, maybe in the finals, the difference is just that little bit.

In the sage time after being eaten as breakfast in the morning, he thought about it and decided to make a move!
Although I am still a little worried about not having enough achievement points in the summer, but the NCAA champion!This might be just one chance!We must strive for it with all our strength.

And it's not impossible to "recover blood", the next finals must have 2-3 tasks, the semi-finals can already get up to 1.8 achievement points, and the finals may be even more.

After convincing himself, he opened the lottery draw module and started drawing...

The target is 5 level 2 skill upgrade card fragments, if you can't draw them, you won't stop.

With this pumping, there were 21 flashes of white light and two fireworks.

After 23 primary lottery draws, 5 skill upgrade card fragments were finally drawn.

But the most painful thing is that a level 3 skill upgrade card fragment was also drawn!

This is clearly trying to tempt him to be a gambling dog!

Seeing that there were only more than 5000 achievement points left, he forcibly stopped the idea of ​​continuing the lottery draw.

2.3 may not be able to recover blood, and then, Xia Tian's progress is really worrying.

Fortunately, he also got 1 basic attribute point, which calmed his bleeding heart.

It’s not too tangled, and it’s added to the bounce, which increases the bounce to 82, and the bullet speed also increases to 86.

After starting to the first-class level, the most profitable attribute point is the bounce.

The six fragments automatically synthesized two skill upgrade cards, and he issued an order to upgrade the two level 6 defensive skills 'Pressure' and 'Siege' to level 1.

"Heavy pressure level 2: When the host is defending alone, if the height and weight are dominant, the speed +3, strength +3, and the sense of oppression will increase. Note: The effect of improving the defensive oppression depends on the opponent's psychological quality and the reputation of the host's defensive end. "

"Siege level 2: When the host moves in positions such as replenishing defense, assisting defense, shrinking, pinching, etc., speed +3, strength +3."

Another small improvement!
He has done everything he can do by upgrading all his regular skills to at least level 2. Next, he will train hard and prepare for the battle, waiting for the game the day after tomorrow!

After finishing these, he looked at the other dozen or so rewards he had drawn.

Half of them are recipes, most of which are Sichuan and Hunan dishes. He couldn't help laughing when he thought of the picture of the hospital assistant's aunt jumping her feet in spicy food but couldn't help but keep eating.

Others are just bits and pieces, red wine storage, wine tasting, flower arrangement... There is also a quick introduction to acting...

Life is not easy, so many talents...

...

After resting for a day, on April 4nd, Li Ao joined the team to prepare for the final on the 2th.

The preparation of the coaching staff is more adequate this time, everyone is in the game state, and they are very involved, and the preparation for the game is very smooth.

The morning preparations were over, and when Li Ao was doing extra training, Henry Bibby and manager Brown brought people here again.

Li Ao looked at the person who came between the two of them.

This time, this one is so tall!
Li Ao felt almost as tall as him!
And he has a square head. I don't know which one is more square between the future boss Yao and this one.

After getting started, the big tall man who came quickly walked up to Li Ao, no matter what the sweat was, he reached out to shake hands, and said, "Hello Li Ao, I am Xu Jicheng, a reporter from the Imperial Sports Channel, and I have wanted to know you for a long time. It’s finally a pleasure to meet you.”

Obviously, the other party already knew him to a certain extent, probably from Su Qun, and Li Ao also said enthusiastically: "Teacher Xu, I have admired him for a long time."

Knowing that the other party was being polite, Xu Jicheng took out his business card, handed it to Li Ao and said, "I'm here today to tell you some good news. Our sports channel has reached a cooperation with the NCAA. The game between you and Michigan State University the day after tomorrow will be held on 5 A sports channel live broadcast!"

Li Ao's eyes lit up: "Really? Great, I'll call my parents later and let them watch the live broadcast!"

Xu Jicheng smiled knowingly when he heard this.

Just like what that boy Su Qun said, although the basketball genius in front of him has a messy private life, he is really not difficult to get along with, unlike some people who forget their surnames once they have the status of an American student.

The chaos of private life has already been confirmed. After the quarterfinals, she dated a Hollywood actress, and after the semifinals, she dated the daughter of the Hilton Group... But this is not something illegal.

As a sports reporter who has been working for 20 years, he is very aware of those things in the foreign sports world.

Xu Jicheng thought of the grandchildren of the Blue Association. After learning that they were going to broadcast the NCAA basketball championship finals live, he ran to find their director, hoping not to broadcast the Trojans game. Otherwise, why don’t the players who are fascinated by foreign countries not return to China to play, and the promotion of players with bad morals and bad personalities is contrary to the core values...

What a grandson!
Are they concerned about whether the players worship foreigners?Is it morally corrupt or has a bad character?

Is it because I am worried that a player who has not grown up under the domestic basketball system will not be able to control it!

Not to mention not contributing to domestic basketball, just out of consideration for the interests of the TV station, they ignored the group of grandchildren this time.

Domestic sports fans have only a handful of people who understand how the NCAA is a behemoth, but as professionals, they naturally understand it.

The quarter-finals are okay, and the semi-finals are not important, but they have reached the finals, and Li Ao is the number one contributor to the Trojans' semi-final victory.

This topic is hot, is there any point!
China reported at noon yesterday that Li Ao led the Trojans to the NCAA basketball championship, introduced the NCAA basketball level and the influence of Yingjiang's family, and quickly caused a sensation among domestic sports fans.

I did not promote the NCAA before because there were no Chinese players in it. Although Ma Jian received a full basketball scholarship at the time, his overall performance was average. In his best year at the University of Utah, he was the main substitute.

Now there is a Chinese player who leads the team to the final, so don't give it a good publicity.

On Li Ao's side, he looked at the business card in his hand, and almost spit out a sentence, but fortunately he held back.

The director of the Journalism Department of the Sports News Department of Xinhua News Agency, the specially-appointed basketball broadcast consultant, special reporter and special commentator of the court TV Sports Center, the deputy director of the Flower Planter Olympic Committee's Olympic Bidding Office... the one in front of me looks only 40 years old Years old, I didn't expect to be a real power faction.

Seeing this group of heads up, and then looking at the uncomfortably flat crew cut + two-meter-big man + square head, he remembered the big man in front of him who seemed to be the future successor of Boss Yao as the chairman of the CBA.

When he was a reporter and a commentator, his professional ability was not good, but he had two talents in politics, and he would be the right-hand man of Boss Yao in the future.

As for the operation after becoming the second-in-command who can theoretically manage a country's basketball affairs... This boss and Yao can be said to be as miserable as possible, regardless of whether the proposed change plan is right or not, as long as it affects the interests of one party, Even if it is passed, it cannot be implemented.

After getting to know each other for a while, there was no direct interview. This time it was not a written interview. Xu Jicheng made an appointment. All ready.

For this, Li Ao has no objection, the questions asked are very routine, so it doesn't hurt to cooperate.
