Chapter Twenty-Eight—The Chinese Boys

The other three were stunned when they heard Li Yao's remarks, and after understanding the meaning, the three of them were excited to put Li Yao's hand together and shouted: "No brothers, no basketball." ”

In the training just now, Li Yao also learned from everyone's mouth that their next round opponent is to have Qiao. West Virginia University in Alexandria.

The West Virginia University Mountain Terrs are a team affiliated with the Great East Conference. In 2010, they won the Great East Conference under head coach Bob Huggins, entered the NCAA Tournament as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, and eventually reached the Final Four. The West Virginia University Mountain Men have only missed out on the NCAA championship once in their history, but they have won the NIT Championship twice. There are only two people in this team who have the impression of Li Yao, one is Qiao, who is known as a Chinese boy. Alexander, the other is the logo male Jerry. West.

And this sweet round of 16 match will also attract national attention, because not only Stanford's three Li Yao, who are currently announced to participate in the draft, are all in the lottery area in the latest ESPN mock draft, but even Joe of West Virginia University. Alexander also pulled down the traditional powerhouse Duke University with 22 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks in the round of 32, which also added a lot of praise to him, so the matchup between the two will attract countless eyes.

After negotiations with Coach Trent Johnson, Jackson finally announced that he would participate in this year's NBA draft before this matchup. Although the media's evaluation of Jackson is not high, as a small forward with outstanding physical conditions, Jackson's market will not be too bad, and now Stanford University's record has soared, which will also have an impact on Jackson's rank.

Although he is going to leave the four-dimensional general all of a sudden this year, coach Trent Johnson said that he can't delay his disciple's future for his own reasons. Fields is also a good bench, with a height of 2.01 as a small forward, and because of Jackson's outstanding performance, he can only sit on the bench empty. Fields will finally have his own day.

Li Yao said that he also has some understanding of his sophomore teammates, who averaged only about 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist per game in the first two years of college, but in the 08-09 season, Landry. Fields averaged 12.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.9 steals per game, and in the 09-10 season, Landry Fields averaged 22 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game while shooting 49 percent from the field, 69.6 percent from the free-throw line and 33.7 percent from three-point range.

This made Li Yao very puzzled, and remembered again that he had never heard Jackson's name in his previous life, but Landry. Fields' stats clearly show that there was a man who had been suppressing himself at the small forward position in the first two years of his college, and looking at the current Stanford team, except for Jackson, Li Yao really can't think of any other candidates.

For this butterfly effect, Li Yao racked his brains and couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother to waste brain cells.

Finally, on this day, Li Yao and they met their rival, West Virginia University.

"Hey, Li Yao, hello, I'm Joe. Alexander. "As a Chinese-American mixed-race Joe. Alexander speaks fluent Mandarin, but he is so kind, after all, even his teammates who have been with him for so long have always called him Lee, because it is too difficult for them to write words. But Li Yao said: Da Yao, Da Yao's yao can be pronounced, but Li Yao's yao can't be pronounced? It's just lazy and making excuses.

"Hey, Joe, it's been a long time since I've heard anyone call out my full name." Li Yao stepped forward and gave it to Joe. Alexander gave a hug, and he was still very satisfied with the mixed-race Li Yao, who called himself a "Chinese boy", and the mentality of today's game was not as full of desire as the previous two games, of course, this was mainly because he had enough confidence in the strength of his own team.

"Li Yao, you don't know that your yao character is really difficult, you must know that I have lived in China for 6 years, but this character is only known before I turned to the Xinhua dictionary, and I can't understand the explanation of the yao character, can you explain it to me?" Joe. Alexander sensed Li's enthusiasm, and like the friends he met in China, Chinese always had a great deal of goodwill towards foreigners who could speak Chinese.

"Hehe, the names are all obtained by my parents, and I can't be the master myself. As for the explanation of the character, you just need to know that it comes from the symbol of the Fuxi Bagua Hexagram, and there is no special meaning. "Listen to Joe. Alexander's complaint, Li Yi couldn't help but smile, what an interesting "Chinese boy", actually so diligent and inquisitive, really inherited the fine traditions of the Chinese nation, but Li Yi couldn't explain the meaning of Yi to him, after all, this thing is too troublesome to explain, and he didn't understand it when the Chinese first knew it, although Qiao. Alexander is known as an expert in China, but he can not understand the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture.

"By the way, Joe, I remember your favorite is Kung Pao Chicken." Li Yao suddenly remembered something and hugged Qiao. Alexander asked.

"That's right, Li Yao, you don't know how much I miss the days when I lived in China, and that kind of food enjoyment still makes me nostalgic. Although there are Chinese restaurants in the United States, you can't eat authentic Chinese food. "Joe. Alexander said with a nostalgic face, it seems that he is a foodie who has been poisoned by Chinese food! It's no wonder that the NBA China Game actually threatened to take his teammates out to eat authentic Chinese food in front of all reporters.

"Hehe, there is an authentic Sichuan restaurant near our university in Palo Alto, buddy will take you to try it when the time comes." Li Yao really likes this "Chinese boy" more and more.

"Okay, good, good, when I win today's game, I'll have a treat." Hearing that you can actually eat authentic Sichuan food, Joe. Alexander felt like his salivary glands couldn't be controlled, and his saliva was dripping.

"Hey, you kid isn't authentic, you want to win before you fight? But familiar with it, we have won today's game at Stamford, as for the treat, you should leave it to me. "Li Yao couldn't think of Joe. Alexander not only speaks Chinese well, but even the art of the Chinese language has been learned one by one.

"Then let's see the real chapter under our hands." Although Joe. Alexander also likes Li Yao, a Chinese friend, but after all, both sides have their own positions.

"Yes, you'll see the real chapter under your hands." Li Yao and Qiao. Alexander went to warm up before his own half as soon as he flicked his fist.

"Lee, are you familiar with that guy?" See Li Yao and Joe. Jackson, who Alexander was chatting happily to, asked, "To know that for Joe. Alexander, a player who single-handedly overturned Duke University in the round of 32 and participated in the NBA draft this year, Jackson is still very concerned, after all, he has also decided to participate in this year's draft, of course, he must have some understanding of his potential opponents.

"Well, it's the first time we've met today, but it's really an interesting 'Chinese boy'."

“Excuse me? Chinese boys? Jackson looked at Joe again in confusion. Alexander, he didn't think that the white kid opposite would be Chinese, just the skin was not enough.

"This guy has lived in China for 6 years and calls himself a Chinese boy." Li Yao also understood Jackson's doubts, so he explained.

"Okay, so should I put water on him?"

"Hey, Jackson, you better get serious for me, you must know that this guy overturned Duke in the top 32 alone, you just don't want to be blown up by then, and you still want to release water?" Li Yao felt that he really couldn't stand this guy anymore, but before the game, Coach Trent Johnson told him to guard against Joe. Alexander this guy actually now told himself whether to release the water or not, although Joe. Alexander didn't play at the level expected in the NBA, but this is also a common problem for many NCAA players, who are not adapted to the NBA game, but it does not prevent them from competing in the NCAA, and Beasley is a good example.

"Okay, I originally wanted to release water to him for the sake of your face, but since you don't agree, then forget it, I will tell him today, Uncle Ben is amazing."

Li Yao is completely helpless with this guy Jackson, this guy's brain circuit is not on the same line as a normal person at all.

When the opening whistle was remembered, all the friendship outside the stadium disappeared. Alexander has his own purpose to win the game.

As the old saying goes, Stanford hasn't lost to any team on the jump ball.

The opponent's point guard is completely a passerby in Li Yao's eyes, he doesn't need to block and dismantle at all, he directly throws it away in one step, rushes to the basket at a gallop, and faces the opponent's center who is making up the defense, turns around 360° on the spot to pick up the basket, everything seems so extraordinarily relaxed and casual, for now, Only the original OJ Mayo could give Li Yao a trace of pressure on the defensive end, but after three days and three nights of battle with Wade, Li Yao was full of confidence at this time, if he met OJ Mayo again, even if he was in a normal state, he would still be blown into slag by Li Yao.

If there is only one person who can catch the attention of Lee Ya on point guards, Derek. Rose, the youngest regular season MVP winner, and Russell. Westbrook is the two, and Li Yao is also looking forward to playing against them, after all, Li Yao also wants to understand his own value in these opponents who have a place in the NBA even if they enter the NBA.

Without further ado, the game continues.
