In the locker room of the home team at Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, you can see a row of brown wooden cabinets arranged in an arc around an oval shape, with a Trojan symbol in the middle - the pattern of the Trojan horse. Li Mojie sat on a stool in front of the middle cabinet, with a towel on his head, holding a special drink for athletes issued by USC in his hand, with his head bowed and contemplative.

Seeing Li Mojie like this, the others didn't speak so loudly, and Anderson, who had been chatting with Li Mojie the most, was also silently wiping his sweat with a towel.

The rules that differ from those in the NCAA and on the NBA and on the international stage are:

1. The game is divided into two halves, each with a 15-minute break (NCAA men's Division 1 games, the halftime break can be extended to 20 minutes). If extra time is required, each extra time is 5 minutes with a 1-minute break.

2. The time for each offense in the game is 35 seconds (24 seconds for NBA and FIBA), and the attacker must advance the ball to the front court within 10 seconds after serving the baseline (8 seconds for NBA and FIBA).

3. When a team's half-court ordinary fouls accumulate to 7 times, each foul (including the 7th), the opponent will get a "1+1" free throw opportunity, that is, if the first penalty is scored, another free throw opportunity will be obtained. (An ordinary foul is an individual foul other than a malicious foul, an intentional foul, or a foul that blocks an opponent's shot.) When the free throw is made, four defenders grab the rebound.

4. When a team's half-court common fouls accumulate to 10, the opponent will get 2 free throws for each foul (including the 10th foul).

So Coach Neil directly requested a 20-minute halftime break and walked in unhurriedly. The team's recent form is very clear, young people have a little success is naturally easy to float, as a coach, his responsibility is to treat the team and players when they are tailing.

Especially Li Mojie, who has been proud of the court recently, and Li Yayi, a star of the school team, media interviews, and on the love field, also promised that the two could get along. And 2013 is a recognized draft year, in which later generations rearrange the best players recognized as the best in the 2013 draft one in France and one in Greece, where are the remaining rotten tomatoes rotten bird eggs? If it weren't for the fact that there was a game in the preseason where my side felt cold and the opponent was in surprisingly good condition, I wouldn't have lost a game!

However, as mentioned earlier, NBA teams mainly focus on the potential of players in the lottery draft, rather than their immediate strength, and there are many players who actually performed well in college and were not selected with a high pick, such as Napier and Kaminski. There are also some people who can participate in the lottery in their freshman year, but they have to play for another two years, and as a result, they can only be selected in the second round when they participate in their junior year, but can you say that he is worse than he was two years ago? So if you're going to measure the strength of your college opponents by the standard of draft picks, you're destined to suffer a big loss like Li Mojie.

"Marc Mojay, you look up." Coach Neil walked into the locker room and shouted in front of Li Mojie.

"Yes, Coach." Li Mojie raised his head, stared at Neil and said coldly.

"Do you understand your question? California Star? Neil sneered.

Li Mojie hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Understood, coach." ”

"It seems that you still don't understand, are you going to stay on the bench in the second half? Or might you just stay here? Coach Neil suddenly yelled.

"No, coach, I want to play." Li Mojieteng stood up and said firmly.

"So what the hell did you play in the first half? What about pick-and-roll? What about positioning? What about air cuts? Are our coaches going to teach you how to play a player who is 4 years older than you and 15 pounds heavier than you in the past 3 months? You think you're Kobe or Anthony, let me tell you, if you want to learn from them, look at them, these two will get worse and worse in a few years. The more Coach Neil spoke, the more angry he became, and he grabbed the tactical board in his hand, "Smack!" Fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry Coach, I see." Li Mojie stared at Neil with burning eyes and said. "Please give me another chance."

"Oh? Well, in the second half, you guys go to the first five, go on, and I'm going to see how you can play. Neil sat down with his hands around his chest, looking like he was watching from the wall, not arranging tactics.

"Okay guys, the first half was my mistake, I say I'm sorry to everyone, and then we're going to focus on breaking and covering." Li Mojie clapped his hands and bowed to everyone.

"Oh, it's nothing Mojab, you and we can pull it back in the second half, everybody says right." Best praise Anderson immediately stood up and said.

"Yes, that's it." Not to be outdone, Richardson was not to be outdone.

"Well, then, Richard, you're ...... the bottom line"

The 20-minute intermission is coming to an end, and the audience is taking advantage of this time to go to the toilet and buy snacks.

However, there were still a few people who were anxious about the game off the field, "Marc Jakar should be in the second half, right?" This is the first regular season game of the year, and if Neil doesn't let Major, I'll ......" Mary sat in the audience, still looking very unconvinced.

"Oh, dear, we can't go into the locker room, let's be patient, after all, our son still has strength." Li Jianguo patted Mary's clenched hand and said.

'Yes, Auntie, Mo Jie is so good, the team definitely needs him. Li Yayi also comforted on the side, but her clenched hands still betrayed her current psychology.

"I'm back." The sharp-eyed Zhou Meiqi pointed to Li Mojie, who appeared on the field again, and shouted.

"Beep." The game started again, with the two sides jumping the ball again in the center circle, this time Charles dialed the ball first, and Hood held the ball firmly and dribbled across half court.

It was still passed to Li Mojie on the flank, "Hey, Chinese boy, go on, aren't you a lottery show?" Why can't you even beat me? Ennis immediately posted up and said defiantly.

"Next, you'll know how to write dead words." Li Mojie put on a strong appearance, rushed into the basket, and without any surprise, the opponent's big forward Mgaben, who had been paying attention to the side, was immediately ready to come up and wrap up, Li Mojie passed to Richardson who came to answer, and Richardson passed to Anderson who ran out of the vacant position in a circle, Anderson shot outside the three-point line, 40:41.

"Ness!" The DJ cheered and cheered from the audience.

The scouts off the court were also very disappointed with Li Mojie in the first half, and even some reporters even finished more than half of the article: California's new magician? A Chinese player with no name.

Lotto show? He was just a flash in the pan!

Yellows? There is only one Yao Ming!

But now, it seems to be a little different again. The scout thought to himself that it was not just a ball, but that he felt that the spirit of this player was different again.
