Chapter Forty-Four—The Battle of the Substitutes
Originally, I was still puzzled that according to the usual routine, when someone chased the defense, Li Yao would definitely pass the ball to his Jackson, and after seeing Li Yao's actions after dunking, he had a hint of understanding, and when he saw the familiar figure of Margot Robbie on the big screen, Jackson also understood why Li Yao chose to do it alone.
Although he understands, but Jackson is still very unhappy, Li Yao, the vinegar monk, actually blatantly fed dog food in public, he said that he doesn't eat this dog food, who made himself still single now, thinking of Jackson felt that he had been hurt by 10,000 real points in his heart.
"Looks like I made the right decision." Wei Shao also saw this scene, and blinked and laughed as he walked up to Li Yao.
"Thank you for your success." At this time, Li Yao's heart was refreshing, and he smiled and expressed his acceptance of Wei Shao's affection.
"But you kid is not kind, you actually snatched me to show affection, you want to treat you to dinner tonight."
"No problem, Wei Shao, we won tonight, you can order as you like, I'll treat you." Li Yao said that it was not just a meal, which was trivial.
", we won tonight's game, but you still have to invite a treat, as for our celebration banquet, we will invite you together after winning the championship." Wei Shao glared at the flowery Li Yao, he actually wanted to take advantage of his words, don't even think about it.
"Well, whoever wins or loses tonight, I'll have a treat in the evening." Looking at Wei Shao's rather unhappy expression, Li Yao said that he was even happier.
The game continued, and the next thing was a personal show between Li Yao and Wei Shao, two point guards, whether it was Li Yao or Wei Shao, they both relied on their own way to connect the team, Li Yao relied on skilled blocking and dismantling to constantly refresh his scores and assists, and Wei Shao also did not show weakness, relying on his physical fitness to break through and attract defenders to either play alone or pass, so that the score of the two sides remained in a scorching state.
The clock finally came to the 14th minute of the first half, and both sides routinely changed their substitutes.
After leaving the game, Li Yao wanted to talk to Margot Robbie as soon as possible, but he was a little afraid of Coach Trent Johnson, so he had to give up.
"Lee, the first half was good, the second half continued, okay, stop looking at me, go talk to your little girlfriend." Coach Trent Johnson also saw Li Yao constantly peeking at himself, and he also knew what he thought as a disciple, and he was not unkind, and off the court, would I stop you two chatting?
"Order." Li Yao, who was allowed to do so, was immediately excited.
"Honey, husband, was my performance perfect?" Li Yao turned to Margot Robbie and said with a grin.
"None of them are on the right track." Margot Robbie sat behind them, and of course she heard Coach Trent Johnson's words, and her face was blushing at the time, and now she was facing Li Yao's teasing, and the blush on her face was even heavier.
Jackson, who was sitting next to Li Yao, was about to call the police, not only was he forcibly fed a wave of dog food on the field, but he also had to be fed dog food when he sat off the court, and his single dog was really injured, it seems that after the NCAA game is over, he will also hurry up to find a girlfriend, so as not to be fed dog food like this.
Li Yao and Margot Robbie chatted hotly off the court, but the situation on the field was not optimistic. Under the leadership of Collisson, he actually overtook Stanford University, which was already leading by a small margin.
And Landry. Fields is the core of the Stanford side on the field, he feels very anxious, he is very annoyed, every time it is like this, no matter what team he plays, every time it is the situation opened up by the starters, it is always his turn to be buried back by these substitutes.
Such a situation makes Landry. Fields is very unhappy, they have been criticized as the shortcomings of the strongest team in history, Stanford University, even Stanford students have complained to themselves many times.
Now that they have reached the semi-finals, the situation is still like this, which makes Landry . Fields' proud pride took a hit.
Again it was Stanford's turn to attack, and Landry. Fields opened his hand directly to ask for the ball, ignoring the defense of the opposing substitute small forward. Fields rushed into the interior like a bag of explosives, ignoring the opponent's defense and directly putting himself in the air, all he had to do was the easiest and most direct way to make a foul.
Landry. Fields did this with only one purpose, that is, to rely on his relatively good body to kill the other party.
Although he didn't score this time, he did finish Landry. Fields' anticipation caused a foul on the opposing small forward.
After scoring the ball securely, Landry. Fields immediately called on his teammates to defend with all their might.
Landry. Fields used his actual actions to tell his teammates that although they are substitutes, although they may not be as strong as their opponents, they are also members of the Stanford University basketball team, and they have to work hard for the victory or defeat of their own team, and they can't just give away the advantages of the main players to others.
The other four looked at Landry, who was doing his best both offensively and defensively. Fields also understood what he meant, so the other four also made up their minds that we would hand over the offensive end to Landry. Fields, defensive you want to score as easily as before? Don't even think about it.
Finally the halftime whistle blew, and Stanford leaned against Landry. Under the desperate efforts of Fields and a group of substitutes, the success did not allow the score that had been overtaken to expand again.
The price to pay for this is Landry. Fields grinned as he covered his arms as soon as he got off the court, and was put to the ground several times while he kept hitting the basket to make fouls, but he gritted his teeth and continued to complete his task until the end of the first half.
Li Yao had long since lost the idea of communicating with Margot Robbie, and looked at Landry. Fields continued to do suicidal offense in order to maintain the point difference, and the rest of the substitutes did their best when defending, Li Yao's heart was extremely moved, this is his teammates, they are not what the outside world calls Stanford's burden, they are part of Stanford.
And everything they have paid is not without rewards, listen to the applause of nearly 70,000 people, all of them are dedicated to them, their efforts are seen by the audience, applause is the best recognition of them.
"Landry, you're doing a great job, and I'm so proud of you." Coach Trent Johnson is also satisfied with the bench everyone, he has been annoyed with his own substitute more than once, and wants to be a little stronger on his own bench, then plus the starting 4 stars, he is very confident to impact this year's championship, but now that these two games are played, he found that his substitute has not become a burden, and when facing North Carolina, they have led the point difference, and now they are facing UCLA Although they have been overtaken after playing, But after that, they relied on their own efforts and did not let the score difference continue to expand, and their hard work was all in their eyes.
Coach Trent Johnson is proud to be able to coach these disciples.
At halftime, the media in the audience had only one focus, and that was the sudden appearance of Li Yao's girlfriend - Margot Robbie.
In the face of the swarming reporters, Margot Robbie, who had never seen such a scene, was suddenly startled, and immediately cast a look at Li Yao for help.
Li Yao, who had already followed the team to the locker room passage, also noticed this scene, hurriedly stepped forward, squeezed away a group of reporters, and pulled Margot Robbie to his locker room.
"Lee, you can't do this, we're going to interview her, we have the right to interview." Only the helpless shouts of a group of reporters remained.
"Hee-hee, we also have the right to refuse, let's wait until the end of the game." Li Yao replied to the reporters with a hippie smile, and then pulled Margot Robbie and ran away without looking back.
"This Lee." It is said that they don't stretch out their hands and don't hit smiling people, and Li Yao also said that the interview will be said after the game, and they didn't directly refuse them, plus their usual relationship with Li Yao is also good, so everyone had to leave.
"Wow, it's terrible, those people surrounded me all of a sudden, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do, my heart is beating fast until now." A terrified Margot Robbie patted her chest in the tunnel of the players.
"Oh? Is it? Come and let my husband silently see if it's so scary? Li Yao watched Margot Robbie's movements and stretched out his right hand with a smile.
"Hooligans." Margot Robbie was startled at first, and then found that Li Yao did not continue to move, knowing that he was just teasing himself, he couldn't help but give him a blank look.
"Robbie, you're not an actor, shouldn't this situation be common?"
"People are just a cameo role now, and no one usually pays attention to the crew, where has I seen such a big battle like you, a big star." Margot Robbie said with a slightly depressed mood, this is the status quo of the two, he is still a little-known little actor, but Li Yao has become a big star, can he really get together with him?
"My dear, you will become a Hollywood star in the future, don't dump your husband and me when the time comes." Li Yao also heard the loss in Margot Robbie's words, and after thinking about it, he understood the meaning of her words, and Li Yao, who was not good at comforting people, had to tell her about Margot Robbie's future achievements.
"Poof, I don't know many people in Australia, and I've become a Hollywood star, you're really not comforting." Although Margot Robbie knows her current situation, she is still very happy about Li Yao's "comfort".
"Who said that, after tonight, you'll be famous, wife." Li Yao said greasyly.
"Yes, I will be famous after tonight, thanks to your care, husband." Margot Robbie certainly did not refuse the opportunity to become famous, and it was also from the help of Li Yao, the man with whom he had the closest relationship.
