By the end of the pre-game preparation time, Li Ao had already understood the process of preparing for the NCAA basketball team in a few days.

Since there are usually only two games a week, one on weekdays and one on weekends, there is plenty of time to prepare.

Such a perfect player training system makes Li Ao feel that it is worthy of being the strongest country in basketball.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Ao and his teammates ate high-calorie and easy-to-digest food prepared by the nutritionist, and the taste was so good that Sam Clancy, who was used to eating inferior high-protein canned food from the church, didn't see any discomfort at all, and people who had eaten it before were used to it.

Li Ao was very curious, how did the dietitian make high-calorie food so unpalatable.

This refreshed his cognition, and he always thought that low-calorie and low-sugar diet meals were the most unpalatable.

Rob Eres, who was also a freshman and made the main list, complained directly: "God, this is a waste of ingredients." ”

Li Ao responded: "Maybe he didn't mean it, he probably came from the side of the eagle." ”

When the teammates heard this, they laughed and talked about where the food was the most unpalatable, and when they said that they brought eagles, they killed everything in seconds.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, it was time to warm up before the game, although he felt that he might not have a chance to play, Li Ao was still looking forward to learning how to warm up before the game.

I've heard Kevin Henderson say before that there is a big difference between a pre-training warm-up and a pre-game warm-up, and a pre-game warm-up is not only sufficient, but also comprehensive.

Habits should be cultivated well, not to mention anything else, a sufficient warm-up can reduce the probability of injury, if you are injured because of the warm-up is not done well, it will be too much of a loss.

Li Ao came to the training ground with his teammates and waited for the trainer to come.

He found a place to sit down, turned on the system screen, he has been waiting for an 'auspicious day of the zodiac', but he didn't bring Huang Li to the United States, I don't know which day is the auspicious day of the zodiac, today is the first match day of the new season, so it will be used as an 'auspicious day of the zodiac'.

He opens the lottery screen, and the screen shows that he still has 5350 achievement points.

Since the start of the training tasks of receiving the ball and shooting and single defense, he will do these two training tasks whenever it is his personal training day.

Single defense training tasks, after completing the first time, almost all of them can be completed at one time after opening the task, and 50 achievement points can be returned.

But he has not been able to complete the catch-and-shoot task so far, and each time he has invested 100 achievement points.

He doesn't feel sorry for this, but the achievement points have begun to grow negatively, and the one-on-one sparring training is now less, so he plans to draw only 3 times, leaving more than 2,000 achievement points for backup.

He issued a command in his heart, the lottery began, 3,000 achievement points were deducted, and 3 white lights flashed one after another......

The system screen has changed to three lottery reward prompts.

Li Ao looked at it expectantly......

"Macho Compression Suit: It is recommended to wear it when the host gains muscle, which can help the host have a perfect muscle line."

What a thing, the uselessness is comparable to the 'inspirational psychology of chasing dreams'! This thing can be customized for money!

Li Ao almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.

Forget it, if there is a need for weight gain in the future, it can also be used, and the system should be a little better than the customized one, and he has no money now.

The second second, the second!

"Congratulations to the host for acquiring the skill: Perfect Warm-up (Level 1)."

"Perfect warm-up (level 1): The host needs to warm up in strict accordance with the requirements in the pre-game warm-up, and after the system determines that the warm-up is qualified, the host will feel hot for the first time at the beginning."

He regretted it, why should he improve his passing skills, this seems to be better!

He silently prayed in his heart for the 'upgrade card'......

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 level 2 skill upgrade card fragment."

It's coming, it's a pity, it's a fragment.

However, he felt that today was an auspicious day for the zodiac, and the 3 draws were related to skills, and his luck was bursting.

Soon, head assistant coach Kevin Henderson brought trainers to help warm up.

In the others, there is a trainer in charge of several people, but the newcomers Li Ao, Rob Eres, and Nate Hale are here with one trainer alone.

The trainer began to guide the three to warm up, and the performance of the three was particularly different.

Rob Eres was overly positive, and the trainer hurriedly shouted: "Don't rush, move slowly, this is a warm-up, not a gym!" Don't waste your energy in this link! ”

Nate Hale is a headache for trainers because his movements are not standardized enough.

On Li Ao's side, after the trainer arranged + demonstrated a project, he was very patient in doing each movement, fully mobilizing the muscle groups that need to be activated for the action.

And his warm-up training moves can be seen improving!

This pleased Kevin Henderson, who was overseeing on the sidelines.

Generally speaking, the reaction of newcomers will be like Rob Eires, who wants to show their positivity, and Sam Clancy, who has been in his second season, is still like this, and the trainers don't want to care, and it's useless to remind them.

There are also situations like Nate Hale who feel that he is right, and often a conceited player like him is not easy to say whether the warm-up can effectively avoid injuries, but it is easy to get injured due to training.

But Li Ao is extraordinarily attentive and patient in this kind of thing.

However, to be able to do so well, it still depends on the system's 'action specification'!

After the trainer demonstrates a movement, the system screen pops up, and at the end of each movement, he can see that there is guidance on it where the work is not up to standard, and tell him how to adjust.

The trainer also has instructions, but it is very general, and it is not possible to see which part of the force should be exerted like the system.

Dozens of minutes of warm-up time passed, and Li Ao was the last to complete the warm-up training, but he successfully moved his body completely!

"The perfect warm-up (level 1) has been successfully triggered, and the host's first shot after coming on the court tonight must be hot."

After trying it once, Li Ao understood that the trigger conditions for this skill were not difficult, and the warm-up links had actually been learned during the warm-up of the previous training, but this time there were just more items, so much that they needed to be led by a trainer, otherwise there would be some omissions.

There is also the usual warm-up is not so strict, almost enough, because there is less confrontation, and when it comes to the game, the trainer will grasp the details of the action.

After the warm-up session, Li Ao and his teammates came to the locker room to change their jerseys.

Another door to the locker room, which had been locked, finally opened today.

This door is connected to the player's tunnel!

The reason why the layout of the Trojans' training ground is so strange is because the main training ground is a little far away from the main arena, Li Ao once looked at the floor plan of the Memorial Stadium when he was idle, and saw that the Trojans' gym was in a straight line in the direction of the main stadium, and the small training ground and locker room connected to it had reached the periphery of the main arena.

Putting on the No. 0 jersey and putting on the training uniform, Li Ao couldn't wait to enter the players' tunnel, looking for the light to come to the corner, and he could already hear the noisy sound on the other side of the court.

In the past, he thought that playing in the NCAA game was just a game, that is, a higher level of competition.

But at this moment, he had a feeling that he had never felt before.

After the turn, you can already see the bright lights outside the long tunnel and this feeling is intensified as he gets closer to the entrance of the tunnel.

It wasn't until he came to the player's tunnel that he saw more than 20,000 fans around the stadium wearing yellow and white team T-shirts, cheering and shouting enthusiastically, and he felt that his whole blood was boiling!

At the end of last year, Dean Teng, who received a free ticket, gave him a ticket, and he watched a full rugby game with more than 70,000 seats arranged with Liam, who bought the ticket himself.

The skylight was opened that day, and the atmosphere of the open-air game should have been more agitated and hotter than the atmosphere of tonight's indoor game with the skylights closed and 'only' more than 20,000 fans.

But his current feeling is far from being comparable to sitting in the audience that day.

Being one of the tens of thousands of people and watching dozens of people play is completely different from being one of the 24 people who are in the game, surrounded by more than 20,000 fans!

Suddenly, someone patted Li Ao on the shoulder, startling him.

He turned his head to look, only to see Shelby Jordan laughing: "Haha, Leo, don't stand stupidly, let's enter, enjoy the cheers of the fans!" ”

After saying that, Shelby Jordan ran into the field, and the already manic fans at the scene saw him enter and immediately erupted in violent cheers.

Among them, a group of fans is particularly conspicuous, this group of fans has a lot of earrings and lip studs, and the hairstyle is also very different, everyone has tattoos, and the most important thing is that each of them has a tattoo around their neck!

Shelby Jordan also sent a flying kiss to that group of fans, and this riotous picture, Li Ao, as a teammate, felt that it was too dazzling.

Not to mention the opponents.

He maliciously speculated that this 'little Lambir' would be more sassy when he arrived away, although he had not seen it.

Seeing his teammates rushing into the field one by one excitedly, Li Ao also hurried to keep up.

But he regretted it after entering, knowing that he would be with the big army.

This fell to the back, and when he came out, there were boos on both sides of the tunnel.

He expected this and was mentally prepared, but when he heard the boos and scolding, his heart still fluctuated greatly.

Inexplicably, he sensed his deep desire to get stronger, and he wanted the home fans to cheer for him.

…

Li Ao was booed, it was just a small episode, and it had no impact on the game.

The Bruins players entered the court, the fans at the scene booed, no one cared about him anymore, he came to the sidelines, and Vivian, Liam, and Dean Teng who came to the scene to watch the game chatted a few words, and the three cheered for him, and the negative emotions brought by his boos were alleviated a lot.

The Bruins are a team in Los Angeles, and they are also known as the Lakers in college basketball.

But the Bruins are not like the Lakers, they are more like the Celtics in terms of achievement, and 10 of their 11 national championships were won in the sixties and seventies, including a seven-game winning streak that no one has ever won before.

But when it comes to upsetting opponents and rival fans, the Bruins are just as good as the Lakers.

The Bruins players didn't seem to take the so-called opening game to heart at all, and when they came out, they were unhurried, talking and laughing, and they dragged as if they were twenty-five or eighty-thousand.

There is no need for grievances from teams in the same city, and the Trojans players only need to see the arrogant posture of the Bruins players, and they are already full of anger and fighting spirit.

Shelby Jordan sprayed directly: "That group of XXX, do you really think it's still the 70s?" The Cold War is over, XXX......"

At 7 p.m., the season opener between the Trojans and the Bruins begins.

The Bruins fielded a starting lineup of Earl Watson, Ray Young, Matt Barnes, Jason Capono and Dan Gazuric.

The Trojans fielded a starting lineup of Brandon Granville, Jeff Trepagnier, Shelby Jordan, Brian Scala Bryan, Costas Charles.

Li Ao, who was sitting on the sidelines, could feel the pressure from the opponent's starting lineup, and even his feelings were deeper than those of his teammates on the field.

5 starters and 4 players who can impress fans in the NBA in the future, the only one who is not impressed, Ray Young, is the 16th high school student in the United States in 98.

Talent rides face up this belongs!

Not surprisingly, led by Watson and Capono, the Bruins played a smooth and flashy offense, pressing the Trojans.

Li Ao on the sidelines was in a hurry, he didn't find out, I don't know when, he already had a sense of belonging to the team that had been in the team for three months, and he already had a sense of identity with his teammates.

But he can only be in a hurry, he has no chance to play, and he has no ability to do anything when he plays, he can only trust his teammates on the field.

However, although the Trojans were pressed and beaten, they were not chaotic!

As the game progressed, the Trojans began to gain momentum!

Shelby Jordan didn't get frustrated by Capono's opening four points and one assist, and after a few more rounds, he became familiar with Capono's offensive style as a college rookie, and his defensive performance gradually improved.

And the white mamba, who was very uncomfortable at the beginning by Barnes's tough confrontation, got better and better.

The importance of on-court experience is reflected in Shelby Jordan and the White Mamba!

The Bruins' defense began to lean towards the White Mamba, and Granville seized the opportunity and began to slam inside!

Granville relied on sharp breakthroughs to compress the interior defense, and the outside line was contained by the White Mamba, and Trepe Pagnier took advantage of the cover of Charles, who was excellent at blocking and dismantling, to get opportunities in a row, and hit one ball after another, scoring 4 goals in 5 rounds, one of which was a three-pointer, and scored 9 points in a row.

The Bruins were in trouble, with Ray Young missing two open three-pointers and their offense suffered a heavy setback.

In addition to the weakness of the 70+ comprehensive rating level of player fault in the Bruins, there is also no one in the position of shooting guard!

Ray Yang Gui was the 16th high school student in the United States in '98 and the 5th scoring guard, but when it came to the NCAA, he played as a starter purely short and tall.

After this wave of 9-4, the Trojans chased the score to 19-20, and the difference was narrowed to 1 point!

It's time for the Bruins to attack again, and the ball came to Ray Young again, but he didn't dare to shoot, forced a pass inside, Granville swooped to complete the interception, and the steal counterattacked!

Granville trotted all the way to the basket, a passerby hit a layup, and the Bruins called a timeout.

21-20, the Trojans overtook the score!

Players on the Trojans bench excitedly rushed up to high-five and hug their teammates, and Li Ao was one of them.

Once, he watched the athletes who were too excited on live TV, and he couldn't understand it, and felt that Tai Zhong Er was too stupid.

At this moment, he understood that in such an environment and atmosphere, he couldn't control it at all, and he wanted to cheer loudly to express his emotions.

Even he doesn't think about whether he can play or not, and he is looking forward to the team winning, and his thoughts become simple and pure.

After the timeout, entering the rotation lineup, the excited Trojans players steadily suppressed the Bruins, maintained the initiative, and at halftime, the Trojans led the Bruins by 6 points at 49-43!

After halftime, the Bruins launched a comeback.

The period back from halftime, similar to the third quarter of a four-time game, relied more on individual ability, which was extremely detrimental to the Trojans.

Coupled with Shelby Jordan and White Mamba playing the whole first half, and both of them needed to rest at the beginning of the second half, the Bruins relied on two super substitutes Jerome Moiso and Jalen Rush to launch a ferocious counterattack, and played a wave of 9-3 in more than 4 minutes, tied the score at 52-52, and stopped the Trojans.

Jerome Moiso, a 75th high school player in the United States in '98, Jalen Rush, a 7th high school student in the United States in '98, the two formed a bench forward and pressed the Trojans to play, Brushenthal could barely support it, and Sam Clancy played badly against Moiso, who was both offensive and defensive.

In desperation, Henry Bibby could only replace Shelby Jordan and White Mamba in advance.

After the substitution of two, the Trojans finally stabilized the situation, and the two teams played back and forth in the next few minutes, and Henry Bibby had no other way but to wait for the crucial moment and rely on the individual ability of Granville and White Mamba to play key balls.

In the opening game, the opponent was UCLA, the sworn enemy of USC, and the white mamba performed very well, and he was stunned to bite the situation at this unfavorable stage.

Seeing the game go in the direction Henry Bibby expected, the unexpected happened.

Barnes and Shelby Jordan suddenly broke out into a violent physical altercation!

Unlike other players, Barnes was not at all intimidated when he met the notorious 'Little Lambir', when Shelby Jordan switched to Barnes, trash talk and small actions went hand in hand, provoking Barnes to give an elbow first, Shelby Jordan was not afraid, and immediately slapped Barnes on the arm, and the two became entangled together.

The referee blew the whistle decisively and sent the two out!

It's nice to see players clash with the NBA, because they can't fight in general, but if they do, they lose a lot of money in a ban, and those who really dare to fight are all stars.

But the NCAA is particularly strict in this regard, and 'basketball in its purest form' is the selling point of the NCAA, and they have been promoting this and blowing penalties are extremely severe.

The managers on both sides were caught off guard by this sudden situation, but the Bruins clearly took advantage!

Bruins head coach Steve LaVine immediately replaced Jerome Moiso, and Henry Bibby was so angry that he pounded his chair frantically, but there was no choice but to replace Brushenthal.

Moiso's defense is not as good as Barnes's, but it is also quite good, but Barnes is the same top defensive player in college as Shelby Jordan, and Barnes is only a sophomore, so he has attracted the attention of NBA teams with pure defense, and Moiso has been relegated to the bench.

And he has good physical fitness, strong impact, and a forward combination with Capono that scores both inside and outside.

On the Trojans' side, Brushenthal and White Mamba, the style of play is on the soft side.

The main thing is that no one in the Trojans can limit this point of Capono! The Bruins quickly took the initiative, and at 12:04 of the second half, the Bruins took a five-point lead, leading 72-67, and the Trojans called a timeout again!

Henry Bibby's eyes swept back and forth over the bench, and it hurt.

Unlike the Bruins, he casts a wide net every summer, and talented high school students are not invited, and hundreds of people outside the club are also actively striving for it, so they have a lot of mainstay players at the 70+ comprehensive evaluation level, but the disadvantage is that there are few top talents.

There's neither an offensive genius like Capono, who goes into college and is a top player, nor a pure defensive talent like Barnes who starts with the Bruins in his sophomore year.

Now when you need top-notch combat power, you really can't find anyone!

Halfway through the timeout, Henry Bibby hadn't decided who to replace.

Suddenly, he set his eyes on the kid...... Dead horses should be live horse doctors!

"Leo, go and defend against Capo!"

Li Ao was suddenly called by his name and immediately stood up, he was frustrated because the game was about to lose, he didn't react for a while, and his eyes revealed dazedness.

Henri Bibby held back his impatience and said again: "You go up, guard against Capono, can't you go up?" ”

Li Ao finally reacted, and hurriedly responded: "I'll go!" ”

Henry Bibby didn't say anything to Li Ao, and seized the time to make substitutions, replacing both Charles and Trepagnier, plus Granville and the White Mamba who were already present, to form a new five-man group.

Li Ao was still stunned when he walked on the field, and suddenly came on the field.

At this time, the fans made a noisy discussion, which made him wake up instantly.

Looking at the assistant aunt who jumped up and cheered excitedly on the sidelines, Li Ao was sure that he was on the field!

On the Bruins' side, the five-man duo of Watson, Ray Young, Moiso, Capono and Gazuric was replaced.

Of these five people, Li Ao felt the pressure rushing to his face, but he entered the state, and he knew very well that he didn't need to carry these pressures, what he had to do was to restrict Capono!

Although it was suddenly replaced, this opportunity must be seized!

The game continues, and the Trojans attack.

Granville held the ball and attacked from the right side, and when he burst to the free throw line, he met the joint defense of Moiso and Gazuric, and the inside line could not be passed, and Granville passed the ball to Li Ao who came out from the left side.

Li Ao received the ball at the free throw line, and the 193-centimeter-tall Lei Yang pounced in front of him, and Moiso received a step inside the free throw line to block Li Ao's pass.

Granville stepped back, ready to re-receive the ball and re-launch the attack, Li Ao watched the opposing defense expand with Granville, and then looked at Ray Young, who was not as tall and arm as him in front of him...... There was an impulse in my heart......

Dry!

Li Ao faced Lei Yang's defense, jumped, and shot a mid-range shot one step outside the free throw line...... triggering the 'perfect warm-up'!

The first shot in this game, Li Ao must feel hot!

Henry Bibby watched Li Ao shoot directly against the defense and scolded the street on the spot.

Then I heard the cheers of the fans at the scene!

Li Aochang hit a two-point shot!

69-72, the Trojans chased the difference to 3 points!
