Chapter 54: Back to square one
"Coach! We know it's wrong! Please let us play! β
In the visiting locker room of the Palen Arena after halftime, Bai Xiaonian walked in front of Ben Holland with his head down and obediently admitted his mistake.
Honeycutt and Gordon followed behind Bai Xiaonian's buttocks, although they didn't speak, they both lowered their heads to express remorse.
"Oh? Tell me what you're doing wrong. β
Raising his eyebrows, Ben Holland said, he has always punished this kind of guy who does not obey the rules of the team, and it would be a big mistake if he could do whatever he wanted by relying on himself as the main force of the team.
Honeycutt, who was on the side, heard the coach's words and cautiously came over and slipped out to play together, which was his bad idea, so this time he had to stand up and admit his mistake.
"We shouldn't sneak out of the hotel on the eve of the game to have fun..."
"Oh? That's it! Have fun before the game!! β
Ben Holland's eyebrows directly raised and roared, which made Bai Xiaonian and the three of them shudder.
Glancing at the trembling expressions of the three of them, Ben Holland nodded with satisfaction, obviously very satisfied, and just said to the disciples and education:
"You three give me a hard fight in the second half, if you can't solve the battle in five minutes, don't blame me for being merciless in the future!"
In fact, he didn't really want to do anything to these guys, but wanted to teach them a lesson and let them know the importance of self-discipline before the game.
After the start of the second half, the wolf-like trio of Bai Xiaonian was finally sent on the court by Ben Holland, and the three who had been aggrieved for half the game on the bench screamed and took turns to impact each other's baskets, everyone wanted to perform better in front of the coach, so as not to be turned over last night's old accounts after the game.
Of course, Georgia Tech won't give up this hard-won lead so easily, because if they can beat UCLA and break into the round of 32 in March Madness, it will make history for the school.
While Georgia Tech hasn't made the NCAA playoffs that hasn't been a small number of times, to be honest, they don't have many chances of making it to the next round.
Serving again, Bai Xiaonian held the ball and dangled at the top of the opponent's arc, originally he just wanted to play an aerial relay with Gordon, who had been stuck inside, but he changed his mind the moment he saw the opponent's defender sticking up.
Why not take this opportunity to try your new tricks?
Just do it! In the face of the tense defensive player, Bai Xiaonian's continuous dribbling was swaying, and the constant shift of the center of gravity shook the Georgia Tech defenders to the ground, and the little white children's shoes who were still burdened with the "five-minute task" had no extra time to grind with him here.
Again make a forward change of direction and wipe the defender's body and kill it, as easily as if you were passing over a stake that doesn't move.
Bai Xiaonian, who had just broken through to the elbow area, smiled slightly in the face of the opposing player who came over to make up the defense, and then dribbled the opponent behind his back, followed by a jump and rushed into the basket, not afraid of the Georgia Institute of Technology center's sky-covering hat Bai Xiaonian twisted his waist in the air, and the basketball in his hand was also changed from his left hand to his right hand, and he gently picked up the basketball and flew high, and then went straight into the net.
Shake and bake (behind-the-back jump layup) is a signature move for many fans. This move requires a lot of physical coordination, requiring not only skillful dribbling skills behind the back, but also realistic shoulder feints, explosive core strength, and consistent footwork.
The cohesion and coordination of various skills make it extremely difficult to show this sassy trick in actual combat, so Bai Xiaonian's move made the white towel on the bench of the Bruins wave.
On the court, this kind of highly ornamental street ball action can provoke the fans' hormones the most, and even the home fans of Georgia Tech cheered for Bai Xiaonian's goal.
This goal also completely destroyed the psychological defense of Georgia Tech, and in the following time, the opponent was torn to pieces by UCLA's three hungry wolves after only a few symbolic struggles, and even in the final garbage time of the game, Bai Xiaonian, Honeycutter and Gordon directly turned Atlanta into an empty city, and all kinds of dazzling and explosive dunks were staged one by one in today's Palen Arena.
In the end, UCLA successfully advanced to the top 32 of the 2011 NCAA playoffs under the trio of Bai Xiaonian, once again standing on the origin of last year's fall.
It's just that unlike last year, this year's Bai Xiaonian is not the NCAA rookie with immature on his face last year, and many young players in the team have gradually emerged in the past year, plus this year's new Simmons and Barton, the whole UCLA team is full of ambition to do a big job in this year's playoffs, and the top 32 is just their starting point!
After the match between UCLA and Georgia Tech, the results of this year's March Crazy Round of 64 are also coming out one by one.
Among them, the University of Arizona defeated the NCAA's traditional powerhouse 77-75, and the University of Memphis's difficulty in entering the round of 32 is particularly embarrassing, which casts an indelible haze on the head of the NCAA overall runner-up in '09.
That's the beauty of NCAA March Madness, where anything can happen. Of course, the exit of these giants is not a bad thing for UCLA, after all, as a direct competitor in the future arena, the weaker the better.
UCLA's next game is not the underdog Ben Holland is ideally up.
Needless to say, the University of Tennessee, as the king of the Southeastern Conference, has a number of strong players in the team, and they defeated Johns Hopkins University in the round of 64 to easily advance.
So after getting the information about their opponents in this game, the Bruins once again fell into intense preparations.
Before the arrival of the top 32, Bai Xiaonian's home ushered in a special guest.
"Hey! Stinky boy, don't hurry up and bring me ice cream to my sister! β
A female voice like a yellow warbler came from the sofa in the living room, and Bai Xiaonian, who was sitting on the side and fiddling with the iPhone4 that he bought with New Year's money during the Spring Festival this year, first stepped over, and then ran to the kitchen and obediently took out a box of HΓ€agen-Dazs and handed it to the owner of the voice.
Bai Yanyu took the ice cream handed over by Bai Xiaonian, and then continued to lie comfortably on the sofa to watch the Korean drama "Secret Garden", which was only released last year. Because the heating was turned on in the house, she only wore a black sundress with exposed shoulders, which made her whole person pure and charming.
Bai Yanyu, who was admitted to Stanford University for a graduate degree in bioengineering this year, naturally lived in the house of Bai Sizhe, an uncle in Los Angeles, after arriving in the United States.
This is a big trouble for Bai Xiaonian, who lives a peaceful life, but he clearly remembers that he suffered a lot at the hands of this cousin when he was a child...
"Little white brother, I'm hungry and want to eat Peking duck..."
Bai Xiaonian: "......"
Jingle jingle bells! At this time, a doorbell rang to save the little white children's shoes that were in the heat of the water.
When she opened the door, Emma's beautiful face met Bai Xiaonian's eyes, but at this time, Bai Xiaonian's heart was not surprised, but a little frightened, if Emma saw Bai Yanyu lying on the sofa in the room, what would she think?
"Ahh Are you Emma Watson? Oh my God, am I dreaming? β
Bai Yanyu in the room turned her head to look at Emma who walked into the house, and then jumped up and exclaimed.
Obviously, the development of things did not follow the brain circuit of the little white children's shoes. Bai Yanyu, who is a fan of "Harry Potter", directly became a little fan girl after seeing Emma, pestering Emma and asking strange questions.
She didn't expect her idol to become her cousin's girlfriend at all? Just kidding, is this writing a novel?
And Emma chatted happily with Bai Yanyu after knowing that the beautiful oriental beauty in front of her was her boyfriend's cousin...
Bai Xiaonian sat stupidly and looked at the weird and harmonious scene in his own home, and smiled awkwardly, he really couldn't figure it out at all in a woman's heart!
