The next morning, Li Ao rummaged through the refrigerator at his aunt's house in the lower courtyard, and there happened to be ingredients for making apple pie, so he tried to make one.

When Vivien got up, she couldn't wait to try the new dish, and it was so delicious that she exclaimed, "Leo, this is the best apple pie I've ever eaten since I was a child, when did you learn it?" Why hasn't it been done before? ”

"I just learned it, and I found a recipe on the Internet." Li Ao said foolishly.

"Just learned? You are worthy of a culinary genius, if you don't make a career in the future, don't be in front of the computer all day long, come to me as a personal chef, the salary is definitely higher than you work. ”

Vivian's eyes were glowing, Li Ao rolled his eyes, he cut a small piece and tasted it, it was really delicious!

Li Ao suddenly had an idea and said, "When I get old, I'll open a street food stall and sell these things that are convenient to make." ”

"Old enough to open a food stall? Why? ”

"When you are old and retired, find something to do, otherwise you will have Alzheimer's disease if you are idle all day long."

"Makes sense...... I invest! I'm the boss! When there is business, you will make it for customers, and when there is no business, you will make it for me! ”

"Okay, okay, you ...... be the boss"

Li Ao was perfunctory and speechless in his heart.

This aunt wants to ride on his head for the rest of her life?

No way!

To be a partner, he has to be on top.

The stall owner wants to be himself!

…

After a while, Li Ao opened the hospital to help his aunt's car go to school.

Before he left, Vivien asked him to get another apple pie and put it in the oven to set a time, and lent him the car to drive.

Dean Teng went to San Francisco to attend a software conference, as a hospital assistant, Vivian had no work to do in the past two days, and she needed to summarize the information and information, so she planned to go in the afternoon, eat snacks and watch soap operas at home in the morning, and wait for the workers to come and direct the decoration of those Christmas decorations.

This leisurely life makes someone envious.

However, after going to the Memorial Gymnasium in the afternoon to train and start teamwork training, he felt that this was what he wanted to do now.

Today the team training is not much, mainly tactical running, tomorrow is the 'little Christmas battle', you have to save your strength.

But on Li Ao's side, he feels that the middle-aged is no longer a man, and he simply doesn't treat him as a human being!

He still has additional training, but only one item has been added today - shooting training.

In this regard, he wants to say - keep it in the future.

In fact, the coaching staff didn't plan to arrange special training for him today, but seeing that he could survive the intense training like yesterday, and he was still full of energy today, Henry Bibby decided to add.

As the head coach, he naturally knows that Li Ao's shooting and defense are currently in a stage of rapid improvement, and since he has the conditions to practice, he will practice.

Wearing the experience bracelet, Li Ao began the special training of catching the ball and throwing it.

Today's training, with the addition of running position emergency stop catch and shoot, turn to catch the ball and shoot, and carry out the action teaching of the two basic skills of theory, emergency stop and turn, the main practice is the basic skills of receiving and shooting itself, and the shooting after receiving the ball and moving horizontally or stepping or retreating.

Hard practice and actual combat, he is in the stage of rapid progress, and the system prompts him that the evaluation of CIC has increased to 74!

Not only that, but after the first group of training, two more system prompts came!

"The host has comprehensively learned the basic skills related to receiving and shooting, and a number of basic skills have reached the qualified level, and the training method of receiving and shooting has been further improved to level 2, and the host will get an additional 40% of the training results for mid-pitch training."

At the same time, the level 2 training task of catching and shooting has also begun.

But he looked at one of the mission goals related to catch-and-shoot jumpers...... Let's continue with Level 1 missions to ensure that you can use the physiotherapy function every training day and competition day.

The training method of catching the ball and shooting was upgraded to level 2, which made Li Ao very excited.

Originally, he was worried that the progress rate might slow down after the midstream level of mid-range shooting, but now that the training efficiency has increased to 185%, he should not worry.

The results of additional training mainly depend on the talent itself.

If the talent is 100 out of 100, the 40% bonus will be more explosive and more explosive.

But if the talent is at the 60-point passing level, then even if there is a 40% bonus, it is still far from the person with the full level of talent.

However, he learned from Xavier Johnson that his mid-range shooting talent is top-notch, and with the character of this hardcore member of the Kwakwa group, he may be a little watery, but no matter how bad it is, it should be very good.

Originally, because of fatigue, the enthusiasm for training has cooled down, but now it is immediately boiling.

Seeing Li Ao so enthusiastic and positive, Xavier-Johnson couldn't help but regret.

He is talented and hardworking, and if he had started practicing a few years earlier, he would definitely be a top player in the NCAA.

But then he thought that if that was the case, this kid would not be able to come to their school, UCLA, the University of Kentucky, the University of Arizona, Duke University, the University of North Carolina......

On top of that, he didn't enjoy the opportunity to mentor such a genius.

Moreover, Li Ao is not very old now, only 18 years old, and he still has enough time to grow.

This, it depends on his ability as a coach!

…

"It's so lively...... Li Ao exclaimed as he looked at the two groups of people outside the gate of the arena downstairs.

Vivien responded: "Of course, this is a mini-Christmas game, and although it doesn't get as much attention as the NBA Christmas game, our own team fans value this game. ”

"Then you won't be scolded in the street......"

Liam took over the conversation: "Haha, this is a small scene, you didn't go to the tournament final last year, and the fans who couldn't enter the game occupied the streets, and the fans of both teams were half on one side, and the National Guard came out to maintain law and order." ”

"Huh? How do I see people wearing Bruins jerseys getting together with our fans? We have been infiltrated by all evil enemies? ”

Vivian glanced at Li Ao: "What are you thinking about all day long, the Bruins are going to San Francisco, we are sitting in Los Angeles, the Wildcats are coming to challenge us, such a game, we represent the University of Los Angeles basketball, the Bruins fans will come to cheer us on when they are free at this time, and we will also help if we go away, they are at home." ”

Li Ao learned that after coming to Yingjiang's house for so long, he knew a lot about the national conditions here.

The Eagle Sauce family, even if it's a dog, has to stand, otherwise it's a heresy.

On December 22, the Trojans arrived on their eighth matchday of the season.

In the morning, Li Ao went to class as usual, and after having lunch with Vivian and Liam at noon, he came to the Memorial Stadium and ran to the second floor of the outer business district to watch the lively scene outside the venue.

After Vivian and Liam pulled Li Ao to feel the lively atmosphere, the three of them separated.

Vivien asked the socialite who was going to watch the game with tonight to go shopping; Liam also has a few second-generation friends who want to watch the game, the relationship is actually average, and some have a holiday, but people in their twenties, except for some of the exercises that were abandoned by the family, most of them began to take the initiative or ask the family to open social mode with each other, and formed a game before watching the game, and went to the place where adults can go.

Only Li Ao shook an old man and trained in the task of catching and shooting.

The Level 1 catch-and-shoot training task was getting easier and easier, and he felt that he should work towards completing the Level 2 mission.

When it came to the pre-game preparation stage, Li Ao felt the excitement, nervousness, and excitement of his teammates...... Complex emotions combined.

But not afraid!

It's not like when they played the Bruins in the opening game, and they treated themselves as subordinates from the attitude of the enemy.

At half past six in the evening, after completing the 'perfect warm-up', Li Ao changed into his jersey, put on his training clothes, and couldn't wait to enter the players' tunnel.

This time, the fans at the scene seemed to warm up even higher than during the opening game, and as soon as the door was opened, the roaring shouts on the other side of the court had already reached the side of the men's basketball home team's locker room, which was about to turn two corners.

Li Ao's impatient look made his teammates also active, and a group of people rushed out as if they were rushing out, and ran quickly to the entrance of the players' tunnel.

Tonight's Trojans' jersey is a '1999 Christmas limited edition', with white trim and red as the main color, saying that it is to celebrate Christmas, but Li Ao thinks it is to sell a wave of jerseys.

No, at least 90% of the more than 20,000 people at the scene wore 'Christmas limited edition' jerseys.

Most of the thousands of fans outside the stadium also changed into limited-edition jerseys.

But he likes this color, it's a big holiday, it's festive.

The frenzied atmosphere of the scene made everyone in the Trojans team enthusiastic, and the most sassy Shelby Jordan ran into the field with open arms, detonating the cheers of the fans at the scene.

The first admission was robbed!

The teammates scolded Shelby Jordan twice and immediately followed into the court.

The fans shouted the names of the Trojans players, and the three leading stars were Granville, Shelby Jordan and Scala Brian.

However, other players who are not so famous have also gained a lot of fans recently.

There is also a handsome little guy whose popularity is quickly catching up with the three leading stars, and the number of people calling his name tonight has obviously increased.

Black and red are also red, and because of the 7 consecutive wins in the opening game, the school team fans have added a layer of filters to all the players on the team.

Feeling the atmosphere of the scene, Li Ao remembered the grand occasion of tens of thousands of people calling his name in his mind...... Go for it!

Suddenly, the atmosphere of the scene changed suddenly.

Li Ao looked at the entrance of the opposite player's passage, and sure enough, it was someone from the Wildcats who came.

His eyes immediately focused on the unruly man opposite—Gilbert Arenas.

"Gilbert Arenas, 17 years old (January 6, 1982), 188 cm, 83 kg, overall rating 88...... Played in 7 games, averaging 16 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game ......"

The first time Li Ao met an opponent younger than him, the hostility was instantly full.

He heard that Arenas was not strong in basketball at the school where he was in high school, and the league he participated in was not the first league in high school, so even if he averaged 33 points per game in his senior year, he ranked 99th among high school students in the United States at the age of 17, and after graduating from high school, there were no universities in the top six leagues to invite him to join, and the only one who was interested in Arenas was the Bruins, whose head coach felt that he was underrated, but in the end he was not invited to join because of his bad deeds off the court.

Arenas, on the other hand, is a very egotistical man, and he doesn't go to universities other than the top six leagues.

In the end, the University of Arizona went to harvest a wave of talent and came back, found that there was a lack of a substitute for the guard position, scanned the list of the top 100 high school students, and found that there was another fish that slipped through the net, and was easily admitted.

Then, Arenas was out of control, playing three games in the new season, and through on-court performances, team training performances, and verbal humiliation, Ruben Douglas, the starting point guard in his sophomore season, was transferred to the school in shame, and he naturally became the youngest starter in the history of the Wildcats.

In Li Ao's opinion, there is no such thing as being authentic or inauthentic, and the world of sports competition is also very cruel.

But at the age of 17, there is more strength than the 20-year-old Granville, and the genius is outrageous.

In addition to Arenas, opposite the 201-centimeter-tall power forward Michael Wright also has a comprehensive rating of 87, averaging 15 points and 8 boards per game.

Lauren Woods, who is 216 centimeters, has an overall rating of 85 and averages 15 points and 7 rebounds per game.

175 cm point guard Jason Gardner, 83 overall rating, averaged 12 points, 5.7 assists and 2 steals per game.

201 cm small forward Richard Jefferson, 79 overall rating, averaged 11 points, 4 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.

Bench guard swingman Luke Wharton, two meters tall, 79 overall rating, averaged 5.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game.

High-level combat power is full!

Starting + sixth man, the core lineup of the Wildcats is not as lame as the Bruins, and the third record of 6-1 in the division beats the fourth Bruins, not for nothing.

In addition to these people, there are also Justin Wiesel, Rick Anderson, and Russell Harris, three former top 100 high school students in the United States, with comprehensive evaluations of 76, 73, and 70 respectively.

Although the overall evaluation of the remaining three is below 70, the core lineup of these 9 people has caused Li Ao to have tremendous pressure.

He is glad that Gardner and Arenas, the two talents on the opposite lineback, are only freshmen, and there is no top-level scorer like Eddie House, otherwise he would not have to play.

At present, the highest combat power of the two teams is their Trojans' White Mamba, with a comprehensive rating of 91, an average of 18.4 points per game, and the first scoring point among interior players in the PAC10 league.

Li Ao leaned next to Henry Bibby and said: "Coach, fortunately your son went to the NBA two years ago, otherwise we really can't beat him, he is so strong, and we still have the other party's undercover agent on our side." ”

"Although Mike is great, the game is a team, not a single person......"

The strength of his son is the pride of Henry Bibi, even if the relationship is very bad, he is still proud, Li Ao likes to listen to this, but he is still humble.

But what does it mean to be undercover?

It took a few seconds for Henry Bibby to react to kick towards Li Ao, and Li Ao's speed of 89 and agility of 92 were used to the extreme, and he moved flexibly and easily dodged ......
