Chapter 13: North Carolina (1)

The door of the teaching assistant opened, and the red face of the teaching assistant was revealed at the door, and he said coquettishly: "Don't move my things in yet!" ”

If he received the holy decree, Li Changgeng hurriedly dragged the big and small luggage into the room, of course, he did not forget to put his small luggage bag in it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The team members in the other rooms poked their heads out to watch the show. After a while, a package was thrown, and then a man ran out of the room with his head in his hands.

"Hahaha......" This is naturally the gloating laughter of those unrighteous guys! Li Changgeng is really the most undignified coach in history!

At this time, the Raptors' room.

"Captain, the Los Angeles team has arrived!" Pinore said to Pierce, who was lying on the bed.

Putting down the book in his hand, Pierce's face was calm, and he said calmly: "Got it!" ”

New York Sword Le Training Base.

"The Los Angeles team is in Beijing!" Looking at Lucas, who was sweating over there, Ke Po said lightly, "Don't you want to see your old friend?" ”

Stopping the training in his hand, Lucas wiped his sweat: "The Raptors have also entered Beijing, have you gone to see it?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you look at it or not. This year's champion is the Los Angeles Raptors! ”

"That could change this year, and this year the guy is back. Is his strength something that your juniors and disciples can compete with? ”

"After that game, you still don't know the strength of the Raptors! You should be worried. ”

"Fold the quilt for a month, I bet this year's champion is the Los Angeles team!"

"Two months!"

"Deal!"

"I forgot to tell you that the coach of the Los Angeles team did not come with the team this time, it seems that he had a heart attack and was hospitalized! Although it is not a big deal, but in this tournament, the Los Angeles team will have no coach! ”

"Damn, despicable villain!" Lucas was furious, "You're going to let me drill it!" ”

"You volunteered!" Ke Bo said lightly. Turn around and pull the barbell to do quality training.

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door. The room opened a crack, "Does the Los Angeles team live here?" ”

Mozart looked at the young man in front of him suspiciously: "Yes, is there something wrong?" ”

"I'm Tom, a reporter for Los Angeles Sports, and I'd like to interview your Los Angeles team, is it convenient?"

"Convenient!" Mozart's attitude changed dramatically in an instant, and he hurriedly opened the door enthusiastically, "Just ask if there is anything!" As he spoke, he enthusiastically ushered the two reporters into the door. As if they were all clairvoyants, the doors of the other rooms opened at the same time, and they poked their heads out one by one: "Reporter? ”

Tom looked around at the players around him and looked for it: "Why didn't you see Li Changgeng?" ”

Everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter. Just when Tom was inexplicable, the people on the other side opened, and a tall boy came out with his head in his arms - Li Changgeng!

Damn, driven out again. Covering his head that was smashed by the bag just now, Li Changgeng's face was hot, especially this time in full view.

"Hello Li Changgeng, do you remember me?" Tom came out in the crowd, "Lee Chang Gung is Tom of "Los Angeles Sports" reporter! ”

"Tom? The assistant brother? ”

"I know each other, I know each other too well!" Li Changgeng muttered dissatisfiedly, "Look at the good things your baby sister has done, Li Changgeng's head has been smashed out of the tumor, you hurry up and teach her a good lesson!" ”

"My sister?" Tom Fox was suspicious!

"Assistant, manager of the Los Angeles team, don't you know? It's on the inside! Taking Tom's hand to the door, Li Changgeng knocked on the door lightly and hurriedly dodged away. The door opened, and a pillow flew out! Tom, who couldn't dodge, was smashed and his glasses were knocked to the ground!

"Brother!" The TA looked at Tom who was covering his eyes and asked in surprise, "Why are you here!" ”

The reunion of the brother and sister in a foreign land naturally did not require Li Changgeng to broadcast live next to him, but when Li Changgeng took Tom's persuasion of the teaching assistant as a condition for the interview, Li Changgeng finally did not have to sleep in the aisle.

Sitting on the soft bed, Li Changgeng coped with Tom's interview without saying a word. More often than not, it was interrupted by gossiping players. In short, Li Changgeng's reputation as an NCAA champion has been completely tarnished by these bastards.

"Last question, what is the goal of the Los Angeles team to participate in the tournament this year?" Tom stopped writing and raised his head to look directly at Li Changgeng.

The gossiping teammates fell silent at this time, and everyone's eyes fell on Li Changgeng.

Sitting up straight, calming his emotions, and slowly glancing at his teammates around him, Li Changgeng replied in a deep voice: "National champion!" ”

"National champion?" Tom asked rhetorically with a smile.

"Yes, national winner!" replied categorically, and his fists couldn't help but clench tightly. Looking around, all members of the Los Angeles team, except for the assistant coach, seemed to be clenching their fists at the same time.

Tom smiled and shook hands with Li Changgeng goodbye. The room was filled with the scrappy Los Angeles players of the Los Angeles team.

The day after arriving in New York, a lottery ceremony was held. I don't know if it is providential, Los Angeles are in Group D and the Raptors are in Group A as the first seed, according to the rules of the tournament, if the two teams keep winning, they will only meet after the semifinals!

The seeded team in Group D is last year's fourth-place team from the University of North Carolina, an old friend. After getting acquainted with the venue, the opening ceremony of the tournament began on the third day of arrival in New York, and after the long and tedious opening speech as four years ago, according to the results of the draw, the first group stage of Group A was played, and the Raptors were naturally indispensable.

"Do you choose to watch the game here, or go back to sleep!" Bored, Li Changgeng asked listlessly. There's a Los Angeles game in the afternoon, so it's a good idea to go back and get a good night's sleep while it's still early.

"Go back? Li Changgeng, don't you watch the game? This is last year's champion Raptors game! Beethoven asked curiously, "What a good opportunity to observe your opponent!" ”

"You don't have to look to know that the Raptors can't lose the first game. The Raptors won't really show much strength in this game, so let's go back and prepare for the afternoon game! Aren't you nervous at all when you met the seeded team in the first game? Standing up, Li Changgeng was ready to go back.

"It's a little nervous." Paul spread his hands, "The palms of my hands are sweaty. This is the first time I've ever seen such a big stadium with so many spectators! ”

"What about you?"

"I'll watch for a while!" Leonard said lightly, "Li Changgeng wants to see what the level of the national-level competition is!" Harris, Mozart and the others all nodded.

Back in the room, Li Changgeng fell asleep on his clothes, and when he was woken up by the teaching assistant again, it was already lunch time. The Raptors' game has long since ended, and the players who came back have heavy faces.

The assistant coach quietly told Li Changgeng the result of the game in Li Changgeng's ear: 110:46, the Raptors established a 30-point lead in the opening fifteen minutes.

"What's going on?" For no reason, a wave of anger rose in Li Changgeng's heart, and his voice became louder, "Paul, tell me what's going on!" ”

"Raptor, really strong!" Paul whispered, "Los Angeles ......"

"So what." Li Changgeng interrupted Paul's words in annoyance, "The priority of Los Angeles now is to win today's game. No matter how strong the Raptors are, they can't qualify for the group stage, Los Angeles doesn't even have the qualifications to teach the Raptors how strong they are, and what does it matter to Los Angeles no matter how strong they are? Looking at the gloomy expressions of the team members, the anger in the inexplicable Li Changgeng's heart further expanded, and the volume increased further.

Paul's face flushed, and he kept his head down.

There was silence in the room.

"No matter how strong the opponent is, the game is played in Los Angeles, and if you lose your fighting spirit before you play, then you are not eligible for the NCAA at all!" The anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed, kicked away the chair, and Li Changgeng turned around and left the table.

The atmosphere in the room was further depressing, Mozart and Paul lowered their heads, and Beethoven's face was darkened. The other team members also bowed their heads and remained silent. Only Harris and Leonard are the exceptions. Harris's face was as cold as ever, and Leonard was flat and couldn't see the slightest mood swing.

After a while, someone finally broke the silence. Harris picked up the meal and ate it to himself, followed by Leonard, Beethoven, Mozart......

Lying on the bed, it took Li Changgeng a while to calm down the anger in his heart. When I calmed down, I wondered why I was so angry.

Why are you so angry? Li Chang Gung is looking forward to the arrival of the NCAA all the time, and Li Chang Geng imagines the scene of challenging the Raptors again every day. But from the beginning, Li Changgeng never expected that before the game started, the players in Los Angeles had already lost their fighting spirit, and the Raptors just tried a small trick, which scared the players in Los Angeles.

Are these Li Changgeng's teammates who fought all over the country? Are these the teammates that Lee Chang Gung relies on to challenge the Raptors? Are the Raptors really that strong? Is it so strong that it makes people lose their fighting spirit just by looking at it?

Maybe they shouldn't be blamed for this, they have never seen the strength of the national super team, and this is their normal reaction!

It's Li Changgeng who is too impulsive.

The door opened, and the teaching assistant came in with a smile. "Today you are so majestic, a reprimand scared everyone to come out! You seem to be looking like a coach anymore! ”

glanced at her, Li Changgeng was too lazy to answer, his stomach growled, and then he remembered that today's lunch was in ruin, and remembered that the table was full of exquisite delicacies, and he regretted it in his heart - what a mistake, should he get angry after eating!

With a smile, he stretched out his hidden hand behind him - a plate full of food!

Outside the number, Li Changgeng quickly grabbed the plate, grabbed a chicken leg and chewed it, God knows how much Li Changgeng regrets it,

The door opened quietly, and heads stuck out of the cracks in the door.

Li Changgeng, whose mouth was full of food, was alarmed by the noise at the door, raised his head to face the face that was holding back a smile, his face was hot, and he quickly turned around. There was a burst of laughter at the door.

A storm passed.

"Well, let's stay, it's still early for the afternoon game anyway! I went back to sleep. Saying that, I breathed again, I was really sleepy.

"Didn't you sleep well after that?" Beethoven asked strangely when he saw Li Changgeng sighing and sighing.

While yawning, Li Changgeng shook his hand. It's strange to sleep well, the little teaching assistant almost tied up Li Changgeng, and she kept making noise in Li Changgeng's ears all night. In the end, Li Changgeng could only sleep on the floor of the living room with a pillow, although the room was air-conditioned, where could he sleep.

Two 10 p.m., New York Workers Coliseum.

Paul quietly looked through the crack in the door, turned around, his face full of nervousness, and said, "There are so many people! Li Changgeng, is there so much audience in every game! ”

"Not exactly." Straightening his shoelaces over and over again, Li Changgeng replied, "It depends on who the two sides of the game are." North Carolina is a very strong team, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the favorite to win the championship, and Los Angeles, under the vigorous touting of the assistant coach, can be regarded as a strong championship contender, and the number of people who pay attention to it is naturally relatively more. ”

The assistant teacher over there glared at Li Changgeng fiercely.

Standing up, he jumped twice, and the feeling under his feet made Li Changgeng quite satisfied, and closed the cabinet: "Let's go, Los Angeles will go first!" ”

The door opened, and the loud applause in the hall made Li Changgeng almost suffocate at once, looking up and looking around, there were really many people! There was a sea of people, and the cheers shook the heavens and the earth. Driven by the sudden acceleration of the heartbeat, the gentle blood seemed to rush all of a sudden, and a slight feeling of heat quietly spread on the face. Excitement after a long time!

This is the stage that Li Changgeng expects

At this moment, Li Changgeng deeply believed that NCAA, Li Changgeng was here.

"Let's go!" Looking back at his teammate Li Changgeng next to him, he walked towards the court with extremely firm steps.

in the audience.

The uncle, who had already quietly sat down, couldn't help but be attracted by the young man in the lead the moment the door was pushed open. That's right, it's this teenager. His high-spirited posture, firm pace, smile on his face, and that majestic and unforged momentum add up to him who is unparalleled in the world. Among thousands of people, it is recognizable at a glance.

Another door opened, and the North Carolina team entered.

Li Changgeng, who was warming up on the field, seemed to feel a burning gaze on Li Changgeng's back, and when he turned around, a tall boy who was not inferior to Mozart was staring at Li Changgeng coldly.

Ibrahimovic? Li Changgeng's heart suddenly jumped out of this name. Captain of North Carolina! Li Changgeng remembered the name when he looked through the opponent's information in the morning.

Seeing the murderous aura on his face, Li Changgeng couldn't help but be stunned: he seemed to be very dissatisfied with Li Changgeng! Just stunned, the giant slowly walked over: "You are Li Changgeng?" The cold voice seemed to be that Li Changgeng owed him money and did not pay it back.

Although he was very uncomfortable with the other party's tone, Li Changgeng still replied lightly: "Yes!" ”

"NCAA champion?"

"Of course!"

"It's ridiculous, I don't see why you're called the NCAA champion." The corners of Ibrahimovic's mouth rose and he said coldly, "If you dare to go to the basket, I will make you understand that the so-called NCAA champion is just a joke." ”

Li Changgeng couldn't help but look at the arrogant giant in front of him with amusement, and it took a long time to remember that he couldn't seem to show weakness, and learned his tone, and jumped out coldly from between his teeth: "I don't know how thick the sky is!" Then he turned and departed.

The person behind him seemed to grit his teeth for a long time, and then turned to leave.

"Look, Vujasic, that's your opponent. Captain of the North Carolina basketball team and one of last year's top 10 players: Ibrahimovic! Patting Mozart on the shoulder, "He's a center forward on a heroin par with him!" After that, he grabbed the ball and ran towards the basket!

Mozart snorted coldly, didn't say a word, and followed behind Li Changgeng.

The warm-up time is over.

"Announcing the players: Mozart, Paul, Harris, Leonard, Beethoven! There is no special tactical arrangement, and the usual way of playing is one-on-one. Li Changgeng was very irresponsible, cocked Erlang's legs and said to them easily, "Let's play!" ”

The players on the field glanced at Li Changgeng very tacitly, and appeared after shouting in unison.

Li Changgeng, who seemed to be leaning on the chair easily, was actually a little uncomfortable in his heart. Not to mention the first time to command the team in a national-level competition, the opponent North Carolina is also the reason why Li Changgeng cares very much. Li Changgeng still remembers the experience of encountering North Carolina that year, with a fierce style of play and a tough style, a very difficult opponent. Although Li Chang Geng doesn't know why Ibrahimovic shows such a strong sense of confrontation against Li Chang Gung, it is a tough game that Li Chang Geng doubts.

It is impossible for any team to hide the main players when they meet North Carolina, but without Coach Megello, Li Changgeng, who served as the coach, had to sit on the bench and control the game.

That's the biggest hole for the Los Angeles team right now.

Jump ball, two equally huge figures, who can get the ball? The results came out soon - Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic hit the ball first, and the North Carolina player got the ball - this was Mozart's first jump ball loss, and it was not a small blow!

The North Carolina team that got the ball quickly set up an attack formation, and it was their No. 5 who controlled the ball, and according to the information in his hand, Li Changgeng knew that his name was Ibu. With a height of about 180 cm, he was as agile as a monkey, rushed left and right with the ball, and came to the position of the Los Angeles team. The other no-player runs are perfect. The ball was passed out, and it was their forward No. 8 Bell who got the ball, Bell took the ball, broke through on the right wing, and then passed to his companion No. 6, who was the scoring guard Nobel, who was tightly watched by Beethoven, turned around and opened the space, and the ball flew straight towards the rebound!

Shooting hoops? No, it's a pass, and their ace Ibrahimovic has already squeezed into the box and is engaged in a fierce confrontation with Mozart. With a feint turn, Ibrahimovic grabbed the position, grabbed the ball with one hand after jumping, and dunked the ball into the basket! Aerial relay dunks?

After scoring, Ibrahimovic looked at Li Changgeng on the bench with a high thumb - towards himself, of course. What an arrogant guy.

North Carolina back defense, No. 4 Ibrahimovic, No. 8 Bale, No. 9 Messi, No. 6 Nobel, No. 5 Ibrahimovic on the three-point line - zone defense?

It's a regional joint defense. Leonard was very calm and composed, dribbling the ball slowly and controlling, and the other players cut into their own offensive area one after another. Observing the defense of North Carolina, the North Carolina team with Zhao Tong as the defensive center put on an iron bucket formation. Mozart and Zhao Tong on the inside line were entangled in the inside line and could not grab a good position, and every move was blocked by Zhao Tong just right outside the penalty area.

Paul and Messi were also suppressed outside the box in the duel. Harris and Bell are evenly matched, Harris keeps moving quickly to cut in, trying to get rid of Bell, who is following him like a shadow, and Bell holds his position and does not fall behind. Beethoven, the captain of the outside line, also moved quickly on the three-point line, but he was always entangled by the shadowy Nobel and could not effectively get rid of it.

Leonard, what to do?

The speed of the dribble is starting to pick up, and it's time to break through! The left foot moves slightly, and the ball speed instantly increases. No, the crotch changed hands, the ball was exchanged to the right hand, "pop" two consecutive basketball hit the ground, the body quickly tilted to the left, when Ibrahimovic just adjusted the pace, moved to the right, the ball has been changed to the right under the control of the left hand, the moment the right hand received the ball, the body has been adjusted, still facing the basket, the feet have not moved! However, Eevee had already lost control of his body's center of gravity involuntarily because of the series of movements just now.

All the changes just now were in the moment of lightning, and Li Changgeng on the sidelines saw it clearly, that's right, that was Li Changgeng's move when he faced Leonard for the first time. What a great guy! Learn so fast!

The ball was in the right hand, and the moment it had not yet hit the ground, the right foot took another big step, the whole body shook to the right, quickly dribbled to the left hand, and when Ibrahim adjusted his center of gravity again, he suddenly turned around and broke through when Ibrahimovic had no time to block.

Hehe, what a great guy!

After the breakthrough, Leonard ran towards Beethoven, and Ibrahimovic fought to catch up.

The two are staggered, Beethoven blocked Ibrahimovic, and Nobel on the other side stuck Leonard's way to continue to break through, but what about the ball? Leonard spread his hands and shrugged very innocently at Nobel.

What about balls? At that moment, seeing the gap for a moment, the ball passed to Harris. Harris also did not live up to Leonard's trust, and at the moment when Bale was about to move to fill the position, he shot and the ball went in! Good guy, the moment you catch the ball, you are ready to shoot. Harris, sure enough, is the king of offense, and the position of small forward is really suitable for him!

watched the wonderful performances of the two people, and Li Changgeng on the sidelines was not only stunned! When did Leonard and Harris become so powerful? Leonard's sharp breakthrough, Harris's bold and steady shooting, they seem to have taken a big step forward! What is it that has spurred them to make such tremendous progress in such a short period of time?

The cheers in the stadium shook the earth, and in just a few seconds, the wonderful offensive and defensive battles between the two teams firmly attracted the hearts of the audience. It's going to be a battle of the dragons!

The momentum of the Los Angeles team, which was sluggish by the North Carolina team's slam dunk just now, rose again, although Harris still had an iceberg expression, the heat in his eyes could not be hidden, and the fighting spirit burning in his heart, this fighter on the court finally couldn't help but burn on the stage of the NCAA.
