"Wow...... Leo, you're so handsome in a formal suit! Next time there is a party at school, I can consider you being my male companion. ”

Vivian looked at Li Ao in a charcoal gray slim suit, and stars appeared in her eyes.

Li Ao looked at the aunt of the hospital assistant, too much like the granddaughter of the professor next door, the young lady whose computer was often broken was like this every time she saw him.

He also liked this dress, but he still asked, "Aunt Vivian, can I return this dress?" ”

Vivian understood what Li Ao meant, and responded: "Gifts, can't be returned, my mother has taken a fancy to a shawl, but the thing is flawed, but it can't be seen when wearing, that store can't be discounted, the store manager asked us to pick something as a giveaway, I thought you were going to go out to play a game soon, and you couldn't lose my face, so I asked your team for the size of your custom jersey, and helped you choose a set, if you don't like it, I'll just throw it away." ”

Aunt Hospital's tone, Li Ao could hear it was true.

Although he didn't know how rich the aunt's family was, Dean Toten's blessing, in this small circle where he lived in the United States, everyone had mines, including Dean Teng, who had a lot of stock assets...... He's the only one who is poor.

He usually eats and drinks, he will not refuse, there are back and forth, at most he treats steak hamburgers, vegetables and fruits from the other party.

Ask the physiotherapist for this, he does have a need, and he wrote down the favor.

But suits are not a necessity, and if you can not owe this favor, it is better not to owe it.

But when it came to this, Li Ao decisively took off his suit, straightened it out, put it in a storage bag, and stuffed it into a suitcase.

Vivian helped check the luggage, Arizona is warmer than California, the clothes are not very thick, and she actually brought a red and white machine, she is also drunk, and the little boy just can't understand it.

Tomorrow the Trojans will play away against the Sun Demons, and today Li Ao will go to Phoenix with the team.

Vivian knew that this was Li Ao's first time going to other cities in the United States other than Los Angeles, and she heard that other athletes would want to go around when they went to other cities, especially interested in some special service places...... Very good.

Seeing that nothing was missing, Vivien went to the pantry and opened a cabinet, which contained a bunch of different styles of mobile phones, and even the big brother who used to be a sharp weapon...... In the piles of mobile phones, she flipped and flipped and flipped and flipped.

Finally found an old phone that he was satisfied with, opened the back cover, and without the battery, he looked at the code and called the communication company with the phone he was using.

After making the phone call and returning to the living room, Vivian handed the old mobile phone to Li Ao: "Phoenix is not very safe, I opened the Arizona communication service for you for 3 days, if you encounter something, call the police, or call me, no fighting!" There's no one there to support you. ”

Borrowing an old mobile phone, this Li Ao does not refuse, he often sees the aunt of the hospital for a new mobile phone, shopping and seeing the new model he likes, this little rich woman will buy it, and the price of the mobile phone in the past two years is not particularly expensive, this kind of feature phone has also begun to popularize in China, his parents want him to buy one, but he has no phone call, there is something in the apartment There is also a landline, the landline is charged according to the talk time, the mobile communication business in the United States is currently a package time, the price is much more expensive than the landline, and it is charged with or without it, so I don't want it.

It's just that, looking at the appearance of this pink Harbour, the antenna is still two cat ears......

"Aunt Vivian, can you get a different phone, I remember you had a cool black phone."

"Ah, you like that, but I've already paid the telecom company, what should I do?"

Vivien's tone was self-reproachful, but her expression was ...... The eyes are bent into crescents.

Knock! Don't give a chance to struggle!

Li Ao silently put the charger in the suitcase, put the battery on the mobile phone, pressed the hang-up button for a while, and it can still be turned on directly.

After chatting for a while, the landline in the living room rang, Xavier Johnson called, his family is also here, and by the way, Li Ao will take Li Ao to the airport, Li Ao doesn't have to run to school first and then take a bus to the airport.

Bidding farewell to the assistant aunt, Li Ao took the shooting coach's free ride to the airport with the mentality of going out of the province to team building, and went to Phoenix.

…

Get in...... Go to bed on the plane, get off the plane to take pictures, get on the bus and sleep again, and then take pictures when you arrive at the hotel.

The first time you play away, you have to leave some memorials, wash a few more copies, and give them away.

Then, Li Ao did not leave the room except for lunch and dinner with the team.

Relying on popularity, no one wants to live in the same room with Shelby Jordan, the Trojans team has opened a separate room for Shelby Jordan since last season, and there must be someone who is lucky to live in a single room, and this year's lucky person is him Li Ao.

When I came to the away city, I just took a plane, and the team did not arrange training today, so that the players could rest, and when I came to other cities, I had to give time for sightseeing.

Some teammates were curious about what he was doing, whether he was dating a girl.

As a result, this product actually played a game in the room!

Isn't it said that this product has so much energy that after practicing for a few hours, he has to drive a sports car and ask a mature chick to go to the hotel at night?

Recently, Li Ao's black material has begun to increase again.

In the opening game, he showed his edge, and for a few days, no one hacked him.

But as soon as Thanksgiving Day passed, there were more posts on the campus forum that broke his black material.

Before, he attacked him honestly, but now, Liam's usual behavior has been directly deducted from him.

He had also seen these remarks, and he was speechless.

Looking at the number of posts, he could guess who did it.

As the saying goes, the peers who write novels are looking forward to death, and the dead fat people in the class are sour when they see him mixing well in the school team.

He was very sad and indignant about this, he really did it, but it was not him!

But he really wasn't interested in those flesh and bones.

Some of the teammates also saw those black materials, and they discussed it behind Li Ao's back, and they didn't dare to discuss it in front of this evil star...... Originally, they were a little skeptical.

But after coming to the hotel in Phoenix, they saw Li Ao using his mobile phone to call to report his safety, and took a set of expensive suits for the hotel waiter to help iron them...... That suit was a giveaway, and Vivien was telling the truth, but the things in that store were very expensive, and the original price of the giveaway was not cheap, just that it was not as expensive as the custom model in that store...... Thinking that this product has never been dealt with in frequent fights, and that many Chinese students they know are spending money like water, they believe it!

But this goods are here, and Phoenix City is actually nesting in the room to play games!

Teammates speculate that the new teammate, who is overly energetic, may be because he hasn't met a mature chick.

After a night's rest, Sunday, December 5th, the Trojans' third matchday arrived.

After lunch at noon, Li Ao changed into a handsome suit and came to the Phoenix University gymnasium with the team.

Seeing this large comprehensive gymnasium, Li Ao felt very strange.

Before coming here, he had researched the information here.

The University of Phoenix is a well-known private university in Phoenix and the largest private university in the United States, with more than 200 campuses in more than 20 states and more than 300,000 students.

The University of Phoenix gymnasium, right inside the University of Phoenix.

This University of Phoenix gymnasium is not the super-large stadium that can accommodate more than 100,000 people in the future and is often used to host football games and multiple NCAA finals, but a stadium on the campus of the University of Phoenix.

However, the University of Phoenix is not a member of the NCAA Athletic Association, and the University of Phoenix Gymnasium usually does not have much business, and there are concerts, product launches, and large-scale events, which are more willing to be held at the West Arena, the home of the Suns.

And it's a bit famous, not because of the University of Phoenix, but because the Arizona State University Sun Demons chose this place as their home stadium.

As a result, tens of thousands of students on the main campus of the University of Phoenix, not many of them know the name of the school team that they participate in the unknown league, and these rich students have all become the ticket base of the Sun Demon team.

Earlier, I heard Liam say that Phoenix's brain circuits are very strange, and several mayors like to engage in infrastructure construction one after another, hollowing out the finances, and making Phoenix the most prosperous city in the west.

These universities are also different.

Coming to the away team's locker room and changing into training clothes, Li Ao put aside distractions and followed the team to carry out the final preparations before the game.

Once raw and twice cooked, and in the third time, he was still responsible for listening......

Although it was determined that there was not much playing time, when it came to the warm-up session, Li Ao was still patient and meticulous, the opportunity was reserved for those who were prepared, and there was also the skill of 'perfect warm-up' that needed to be activated.

At half past six, Li Ao entered the court with the team.

The first time he played away from home, it was also the first time he felt what it means to be away.

Most of the people here are students, and not surprisingly, they are basically top students from Arizona State University and the University of Phoenix.

Cultural people are different, and the words and sentences used to scold people are much more advanced than the aunts and uncles who grab vegetables in the supermarket.

Seeing Li Ao looking around with interest, Henry Bibby snorted lightly, this kid's ability to resist pressure was unexpectedly good.

Within two minutes of the Trojans entering the court, the Sun Demons entered.

Li Ao's eyes were drawn to one of the opposing team's players - Eddie House!

185 cm, standard height for point guard, 80 kg weight, acceptable speed, average strength, super shooting!

Eddie House, who has played two games at present, averaged 32 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4 assists per game, ranking first in the scoring division in the game, losing the first game against the Wildcats and scoring 20 points, and scoring 44 points against the Bruins in the second game.

The comprehensive evaluation of 94 is the strongest person Li Ao has seen so far! In college basketball, Eddie House, a senior supershooter, is a superstar.

With such a strong opponent, leave it to your teammates in the back line to give it a headache.

At 7 p.m., the game began.

The Trojans are still the starting combination of Granville, Trey Pagnier, Shelby Jordan, White Mamba and Charles.

The Suns Devils fielded a starting lineup of Eddie House, Turner Hill, Avi Slater, Sean Redhag, Chad Pruitt.

Just looking at the lineup, the Sun Demons lineup is not as good as the Trojans and Dukes, but they play too well together.

Their five starters have been fixed since Christmas in the 98-99 season, and the youngest is also a junior, and the game experience and tacit understanding have long been full, and all five have the ability to pass the ball.

Eddie House, as the core scorer and the No. 1 playmaker on the guard line, averaged 4 assists per game in the first two games, and small forward Avi Slater is the No. 1 playmaker in the Pacific 10 School League, averaging 9.7 points, 6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in his sophomore season last season.

The other trio averaged the fewest assists per game last season with 1.6.

The Suns Devils' tactics revolve around creating shooting opportunities for Eddie House, who can score more than 40 points in a single game, to create shooting opportunities for others, and Avi Slater serves as a key transition point to help the team play a ferocious offense in the opening game.

The Trojans played well on offense under the leadership of Granville, but they were still pressed by the Sundevils in the opening game.

However, the situation is not good, and the Trojans coaching staff is not too anxious.

The Sun Demons team's five starters have cooperated for the third year, to be precise, after a season and a half of cooperation, in the new season, there are still no substitutions, it can be said that they cooperate too well, no one can replace any of them, but this also means that the Sun Demons have not been strong enough to replace any of them in the past two years.

With the University of Arizona Wildcats here, the Sun Demons are just like the Trojans next to the Bruins, the geniuses have gone to the Wildcats, and the Sun Demons can only eat leftovers, or occasionally there are genius high school students who would rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix to join, and they may not be able to play.

The head coach of the Suns Demons, Rob Evans, led the University of Mississippi Rebels to win the Southeast Division for two consecutive years in the past few years, and was hired back by the Sundemons with a lot of money, which led to the rise of the Sundemons.

In addition to the five starters of the Suns Demons, the bench lineup is actually not bad, Rob Evans has been the same as Henry Bibby over the years, and he has worked hard, but he has survived until Eddie House's senior year, and he still hasn't been able to find a core that can take over.

And when it comes to the bench, the Trojans coaching staff is confident that they are better, so despite the bad start, Kevin Henderson, the head assistant coach, is calmly guiding Li Ao.

"Leo, I told you before, Avi Slater is worth learning from, have you seen the video prepared for you?"

"I watched it twice on Thursday."

'It's good, you see, he's not very fast, but he's always in the right place, he's sticky with his team-mates, he's very clean on the ball...... It's a pity for him, he was ranked 51st in the United States in '97, and he played after Christmas in his freshman season, and he started firmly, but his athleticism is not good, he is not long, his technique is so good, but he has no athletic support, and he does not have a height and reach, which is a pity......"

Li Ao deeply thinks so, as a frontcourt player, he either has to have height and arm span, or he has to have athleticism, and neither of them ...... It is said that Big Bird's physical fitness is not good, and it depends on who he compares with, but no one said that he has a problem with his physical fitness during the NCAA period, but most of the people who can enter the NBA are at the livestock level.

But he's different, although his physical fitness is 'mediocre' at the moment, he can add points!

The Trojans were as steady as a mountain, playing midway through the first half, and the two teams rotated, with Li Ao coming on for Shelby Jordan for a few minutes to defend Avi Slater.

Shelby Jordan can't even guard against Avi Slater, the technique is too good, and Henry Bibby doesn't expect Li Ao to do much better.

He was counting on a trio of Nate Hale, Trey Pagnier, and Brosenval.

But after entering the rotation stage, the situation did not go as expected by the Trojans coaching staff, they played well offensively, but the defense collapsed!

Li Ao's failure to defend against Avi Slater, and the opponent's goal is not to score, which did not surprise the Trojans coaching staff, after all, Shelby Jordan could not prevent it.

But when Shelby Jordan defends Avi Slater, he can interfere with the opponent's passing and movement, which is not as good as Shelby Jordan.

The Suns Devils replaced Alton Mason, another strong pass-through defender, who is 185 cm tall like Eddie House, forming a two-guard combination that can pass and shoot.

Under the containment of Eddie House, Alton Mason and Avi Slater freely connected the whole team's offense, and the Sun Demons scored in 4 consecutive rounds, played a wave of 9-3, and made three consecutive passes to cooperate, and also created a three-point opportunity for Eddie House and made it, stretching the difference to double digits in one fell swoop, leading the Trojans by 11 points 28-17!

In the first half of the NCAA game, there were only two timeouts for each team, and the Trojans had already used one, and this time there was no timeout, and Henry Bibby directly yelled at the sidelines how to adjust.

Charles, who received the instructions, instructed his teammates to adjust the joint defense position, and the main defense cut in to protect the basket.

The effect was excellent, and the backup center Tommy Smith and power forward Shaun Redhaag, who had just eaten a pie and scored 6 points, immediately lost their temper.

But Eddie House went on a rampage right after!

He just scored a three-pointer, and in the face of Nate Hale's defense, he hit three consecutive single-step three-point shots to score 12 points in a row!

Add in the 5 points before the timeout, and Eddie House has 17 points!

Brunsenval played a 2+1, but after 3 rounds, the difference was stretched by another 6 points.

20-37, the difference came to 17 points, and the Trojans called a timeout again!

Henry Bibby wanted to squirt out 10,000 swear words, but he forced his composure.

This Nima, what happened to the Bruins a few days ago, seems to be going to be repeated with their Trojans!

Eddie House, this guy has an uncertain future as a professional player in Henry Bibby's opinion.

But in college, with a system that suits him, a super genius like Barlang Davis has to be deflated when he meets this guy.

It's just, did the Los Angeles team eat this guy's rice?

Why did they catch their Los Angeles team to break out?

Watching Eddie House with his hands on his hips, enjoying the frantic cheers of the fans in a posture that he didn't know where his opponent was, Henry Biby was angry, but he couldn't think of a good way.

Their team's group of guards, Granville, who moves faster than this guy, is not tall enough; Nate Hale, who is tall enough and fast enough, lacks defensive ability; Trey Pagnier, who has good defensive ability and enough experience, can't keep up with his movements......

Wait, enough speed, enough height, good at shooting...... Henry Bibby set his sights on the kid.

Li Ao, on his side, was feeling his scalp tingling at Eddie House's performance, and suddenly a cold air came out of his vest, and his whole body was numb.

There are bad people who want to harm me!

"Leo, you go up, go to the house."

"!"
