Eddie House knew that the opposition wanted to provoke him, and he resisted his anger to run for catch-and-shoot opportunities, as well as to open up space for his teammates to contain the opposing team.

The opportunity came to center Chad Pruitt, who shot two points from the baseline...... Didn't go in.

When the Trojans attacked, Granville missed a breakaway throw, and Sam Clancy grabbed the offensive rebound, but was immediately covered and the pinch came quickly.

He didn't force it, and passed it to Li Ao, who took over.

The Suns Devils immediately re-encircled the joint defense after Sam Clancy grabbed the offensive rebound, but Li Ao quickly came out after receiving the ball, tearing apart the opponent's joint defense and sending the ball to the white mamba who went around the top arc.

There are many benefits of joint defense, and there must be bad points, the biggest flaw is that the three-point defense is average, especially the inside-out strategy pass, which is passed to the players who run out of the gap, and the other side is basically not in place.

But it's a pity that Li Ao made a wonderful pass this time, and Bai Mamba couldn't grasp it, and the empty position was three points.

Avi Slater stuck in position, and Eddie House defended the rebound.

Li Ao immediately posted to Eddie House, he changed his strategy, and the whole audience was pressing!

Eddie House was afraid of going up, so he immediately passed the ball to Turner Hill and ran to the front with Li Ao.

"You're a useless newcomer, will you only use this kind of small action?"

"I'm going to have more poses, and then you can feel it."

"Despicable and shameless!"

"You can scold a little more ugly, and you don't have to be so polite."

“……”

Eddie House stopped talking and continued to run.

It's so calm! Li Ao secretly praised him as a senior in his senior year, his psychological quality is good, and he is a model for his generation.

Eddie House was confident that he could easily beat Li Ao as long as he played normally, but as Li Ao began to adjust to Eddie House's way of playing, Eddie House found that things were not as simple as he thought.

Taller than him, faster than him, more flexible than him, and all his physical strength is devoted to chasing and defending, regardless of anything else, even team defense, this kind of opponent, this is the first time he has encountered this kind of opponent.

Eddie House's running style was tilted towards pinning, and the rest of the Sundevils got more chances, but that wasn't good for them!

Eddie House's scoring is more important to the Suns Devils than any other team's top scorer is to his own team!

To put it simply, Eddie House can strike iron, but he has to shoot.

Because of the entire Sun Demon team, except for him, no one else has the ability to average double-doubles per game, and the starting lineup is better, scoring 7-9 points, but he is also driven, which is unique among all crazy third-level teams.

On the Trojans' side, Shelby Jordan on the offensive end is equal to giving nothing except rushing and eating cakes.

Li Ao occasionally has opportunities to receive or share the ball, and there are not many.

But relying on Granville's breakthrough, Sam Clancy's cut and rush, and White Mamba's catch-and-shoot shots, the Trojans are eating away at the point difference little by little when the team is not as good as the opponent!

With 2 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first half, the Trojans chased the score to 42-46, narrowing the gap to 4 points, and the Sun Demons called a timeout!

Rob Evans used the second timeout as well!

Henry Bibby hurriedly made personnel changes, replacing Shelby Jordan with Brushenthal, and the other four remained unchanged.

Shelby Jordan plays center and can also defend, this thing is a talent, although he is only two meters above two meters and weighs only the weight of a small forward, but he is still very heroic when defending the center.

The disadvantage is that he does not do a good job of carrying the impact, and he is not as good as Brushenthal, who was in the center forward position before.

Brushenthal just doesn't like to fight, but his weight and fight is actually excellent, the level that a white man should have on the inside.

Looking at Li Ao, who was sweating and drinking energy drinks, Henry Bibby didn't expect this kid to really keep up with the speed of the point guard!

A few days ago, at the beginning of the new month, the team conducted a routine physical test, and Li Ao's strength has improved significantly compared to the trial, this Henry Bibby has long known, and Li Ao has shown in the first team training match that he can carry Sam Clancy.

But Li Ao's speed has also increased, making him extremely messy.

After analysis, the coaching staff believes that although Li Ao can see the traces of perennial sports, he has not been trained at the level of a professional athlete, and his physical talent has not been fully developed.

It makes sense.

In college, Li Ao's height and strength are enough to defend four, and now he has shown the talent to prevent one, only 18 years old, if he grows a little longer, he may be able to prevent 5 in college!

Henry Bibby kept his emotions in check, he didn't want to let others see it, he didn't want to give this kid a good look.

Coming back from the timeout, the Suns Demons made no personnel changes as Henry Bibby had expected, and the opponent's starting lineup ranked second in minutes played per game in the entire PAC10 division, behind only the Bruins.

The Sun Demons attack, serve from the midline.

The lead was narrowed to 4 points, and the Sun Demons began to fight!

Go for Eddie House's tactics of infinite cover!

Although Li Ao was as nimble as a loach, and Eddie House's flexibility in his shoes in his early two meters and the touch of his big hands gave Eddie House a lot of headaches, the latter still used the help of his teammates to run his chances.

Eddie House received the ball on the right side of the three-second zone, and in the face of Sam Clancy's defense, he didn't hesitate, took the ball and jumped, and leaned back to shoot a two-point shot...... Entered!

This ball is purely a matter of personal ability!

After such a wide range of runs, he can still shoot under the pounce, which few people in the entire NCAA can do.

When the Trojans attacked, the ball came to Li Ao, who ran to the right baseline to answer.

No one from the Sun Demons stepped forward to make up for the defense, and after playing for a few minutes, Rob Evans found that this handsome guy from the East didn't seem to have any offensive ability, at least he didn't show it, and he immediately adjusted his defensive strategy during this pause.

After receiving the ball and not passing, Li Ao did not hesitate, he pulled it up and threw it!

Seeing this scene, Rob Evans's heart tugged, this confident attitude, this smooth and beautiful movement...... Well, the heart is white.

The shooting posture is picturesque, and of course you have to hit the iron.

The Suns Devils defended the rebound, and after more than 20 seconds, they slowly executed their tactics and created a shot for Eddie House again.

This level of patience made Li Ao, who was chasing defense, outrageous.

One tactic ran three times, and he chased them all!

Eddie House hit another long two points to make it 50-42 and bring the Sundevils lead to eight points!

The Trojans not only failed to defend it, but the offense was also constipated, and Brushenthal's long two points still missed.

The Suns Demons protect their defensive rebounds, and although they don't have the ability to break fast, the oppression of the Trojans is back!

The main attack is still Eddie House, who has scored 21 points, he still wants to continue to soar points, he has to rely on his ability to reopen the difference to double digits, he wants to refresh his personal single-game scoring record, in order to vent the hatred in those rounds that were blocked by Li Ao!

The starting five of the Sun Devils have a tacit understanding, all of them can pass the ball, and they are all blocking and distributing the ball for Eddie House, plus Eddie House's interspersed running position is really powerful, which makes Li Ao, who is chasing defense, miserable.

It's time for Eddie House to get rid of the defense again, and seeing that he can't catch up, Li Ao jumped forward before Eddie House went around the pile again, reached out and slapped Eddie House's right arm hard!

This slap was very hard and knocked Eddie House straight over.

Just as Eddie House was about to fall to the floor in a ball of terror, the momentum of his fall suddenly stopped, and he was lifted up by the waist and dragged forward a few steps.

He tilted his head to express his gratitude...... Dit!

The one who protected him was Li Ao, who pounced on him and slapped him!

Li Ao stood firm and pulled Eddie House up and held him steady.

Eddie House's teammates were about to rush forward when they saw Li Ao's rough foul move, and when they saw this picture, they all stopped their feet.

Eddie House, who felt like a little kun boy being picked up, had 10,000 alpacas running by in his heart at this moment.

He gritted his teeth and patted Li Ao's arm to express his gratitude.

If you are beaten, you have to thank the other party for protection! He's so angry!

[○･｀Д´･○]

But the other party's operation is really sportsmanlike, avoiding the possibility of him falling and getting injured.

No, the fans at the scene spontaneously applauded when they saw Li Ao's actions!

Are they all a bunch of blind people?

Didn't you see this foul action of killing a thousand knives? o (▼ dish ▼ メ; )o

What made Eddie House even more angry was that the Trojans had only committed four fouls so far, and they had to relaunch the attack before it was time to blow a 1+1 penalty.

Both teams have a common characteristic - the defensive coordination is good, but the hardness is not enough, resulting in a fairly average defensive efficiency.

The hardness is reflected in the fact that both teams have very few fouls.

The more he thought about it, the more angry Eddie House broke out in the next run, didn't even give Li Ao a chance to foul, ran faster than Li Ao, and went around the pile to catch the ball......

With an adrenaline outburst, he didn't notice it when he was running, and when he shot, he was slapped on the arm.

I didn't grasp the angle of this ball well, and I hit the basket!

Granville grabbed the ball, advanced to the frontcourt, and attacked unfavorably for several rounds in a row, the Trojans now have a big drop in offensive confidence across the team, and the Suns Demons defended the joint defense, and Granville didn't know for a while whether to break through or give the ball to White Mamba or Brushenthal.

There was less than one round left in the first half, and seeing that the team's running position had not started, Li Ao was anxious.

This group of teammates is too soft!

Can't bear this blow? But there was nothing he could do...... Way?

He saw Turner Hill following him.

(눈‸눈)

(✪ω✪)

Li Aoqiang squeezed Turner Hill, who is 1.9 meters tall, to the right side of the three-second zone, stuck with the opponent's position!

There wasn't much time left, and Granville didn't have time to think about it and hoisted the ball over.

Back hit, Li Ao won't, but with a height difference of nearly 10 centimeters and an arm span gap of more than ten centimeters, he pouted his ass to separate Turner Hill, who wanted to steal, aimed at the basket, tiptoed, and quickly hooked the ball to the basket before Avi Slater pounced on the block......

Hook hands, he hasn't learned it yet, but the movements have been learned well, and when he watched the old man show off his skills, he practiced so many hands, and the movements were corrected by the old man.

If you can not jump, you will definitely not jump, so as to ensure the stability of the shot.

Good luck, in!

The Trojans players are in good spirits!

Defend against each other! Keep the score and don't let the opponent's half continue to widen the difference!

In the final seconds, Turner Hill advanced to the front court and broke through directly, the Trojans made up the defense in time, and Turner Hill's whistle shot was fanned by Sam Clancy.

The whistle blew at halftime, 44-50, and the Trojans trailed the Sun Demons by 6 points going into halftime!

…

"Bryan (White Mamba) you're too soft, if Jeff (Trepagnier) has your shooting ability, he's definitely going to take off.

Brandon (Granville) You're good at everything, but you're not good at height, if only you scored as well as you organized an offense.

David (Brushenthal) You're so strong, drill inside! Look at Sam (Clancy), although the technique is poor, but at least dare to rush......

The defense is too, as fierce as Shelby! Jeff and Sam could ......"

After returning to the locker room, Li Ao began to output frantically, expressing dissatisfaction.

With the change of mentality, Li Ao is more concerned about these things and is more willing to put effort into analysis.

These problems were all too obvious in this game.

The main thing is that they are not incapable, but the style of the ball is really soft.

When he began to care, the foul smell of his unforgiving mouth began to be committed again.

As the saying goes, when a handsome guy is scolded for being ugly, he will only smile and know that the other party is jealous.

But the really ugly ones are scolded for being ugly, and they definitely jump to their feet.

Li Ao's sentence after sentence of complaints stuck in the young hearts of his teammates, if it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't beat it, they would give Li Ao two blows.

Even Trepagnier, Granville, Brookval, and others, who were well-connected, had evil thoughts, but they managed to suppress them.

As for the group attacking it...... Who hasn't been left alone?

Those who achieve great things have to be able to endure!

Considering that even Henry Bibby, the manager, is often so angry that they suddenly feel a lot better when they have the comparison.

And there's Shelby Jordan, who loves to toss his teammates, and they have a certain amount of resistance.

But there are warriors among the masses.

Sam Clancy retorted, "Didn't you just hit a few good shots? Do you still think of yourself as the boss of the team? ”

"Hey, I'm playing well, I just want to say, you have the ability to play a few good balls!"

Sam Clancy is angry, he wants to practice! He swore he was going to trample this bastard under his feet!

The others were glad to see this, and it was right not to refute it, otherwise they would be angry to death.

There is nothing wrong with what Li Ao said, this is their problem.

In the past, everyone had the same dish in these aspects, and everyone chose not to think about these problems.

Soft and don't like confrontation, from a psychological level, it means that they are actually quite good-looking.

Now that it's been spread out, even Sam Clancy shut up, the scene becomes awkward.

Li Ao misses his good brother, and sure enough, he is most comfortable making friends with people who practice kung fu well.

It's a pity that although the good brother loves to play basketball, he is better than him.

After half a minute of cold play, the coaching staff arrived in time, and Henry Bibby didn't say much and started to analyze the half, breaking the embarrassment.

Seeing that the expressions of the team members were not very good-looking, he was very satisfied, it was right to hide outside the door and not come in immediately, that kid would stand up at this time.

What he has to do now is to transfer the irritability that kid brought to his teammates and transfer it to his opponent!
