37. Make the Trojans great!

The teammates rushed towards Li Ao again.

Their emotions of excitement, surprise, and fear at this moment surged together.

If it weren't for Li Ao noticing that Arenas was about to get down, he would have really been shot by Arenas...... It's not impossible to throw!

Arenas scored 29 points and 7 assists in a single game tonight, setting a new high in both scoring and assists for his college career.

This is an amazing performance!

In terms of consistency, they've had the better scorer this season, Eddie House.

But when it comes to oppression, Arenas is even worse!

And Li Ao put an end to that potential danger!

Granville was so excited that he jumped directly on Li Ao's back, Li Ao reopened a round of hugs, and his teammates on the bench also rushed into the field, all surrounding Li Ao.

But when it came time for Sam Clancy, he turned around and left...... As a result, I heard Li Ao mutter: "It's really unsociable." ”

Sam Clancy: [○・'Д ́・○]

This friend, I really didn't have to make it!

Amid Henry Bibby's shouts, Li Ao and his teammates returned to the bench.

Henry Bibby made a personnel change, replacing Sam Clancy with Shelby Jordan, giving the latter the opportunity to find a corner and draw circles.

Granville, Li Ao, White Mamba, Brushenthal continued to play.

The break passed quickly and the players from both teams returned to the field.

The Wildcats fielded a starting lineup of Gardner, Arenas, Richard Jefferson, Michael Wright, and Woods.

The referee blew the whistle for the start of overtime and threw the ball into the air, and Woods relied on his outstanding bounce speed and the longest arm span of any 24 players tonight to easily win the jump ball, and the Wildcats attacked first!

Gardner received the ball and passed it to Arenas, who advanced to the front court and continued to play singles in the face of Li Ao's defense!

Li Ao's defense is still like that, covering the regular shooting space, increasing the difficulty of Arenas' shooting, and allowing Arenas to shoot with more technical changes.

Arenas, who scored 29 points on 10-of-19 shooting in regular time, including 3-of-7 three-pointers and 6-of-8 free throws, was highly confident and pulled a step away from Li Ao's interference to shoot two points...... The ball is crooked!

The White Mamba guards the defensive rebound.

Offensive and defensive switch, Granville broke through to Brushenthal, Brushenthal caught the ball in one step inside the free throw line to attract Richard Jefferson to make up the defense, Li Ao went around behind Brushenthal, Brushenthal played a high, played a back-of-head pass, Li Ao was almost stealed by Arenas who rushed up, but fortunately protected.

Arenas rushed over his head and turned his head to grab it again, Li Ao raised the ball, jumped, and shot......

The effect of 'Killer' is still there!

Extra time, count as 'the rest of the game'!

'Catch-and-shoot expert', mid-range +3, 'killer', mid-range +10, overall mid-range shooting soared to 87!

Tonight, he hit again with a good hand!

9-of-11 shooting, plus 3-of-4 free throws, he continued to set a new personal scoring high, scoring 21 points in a single game, and 20+ in a single game for the first time in his college career!

Switching offense and defense, Arenas continued to play singles, even more determined than in the previous round.

But in the face of Li Ao's defense, Arenas made a quick stop and jumped to shoot iron!

Brushenthal carries Woods to protect the defensive rebound!

Li Ao's eyes lit up, it's finally time!

Just now, Arenas attacked this time, and it took more effort to perform technical moves, and the shooting force was already uncontrollable!

The reason - a serious decline in physical strength.

Compared to Li Ao, who does not do superfluous things as much as possible on the court, Arenas is completely opposite, and he definitely does a lot of superfluous things that he can do.

Speaking of defense, Arenas is obviously a black hole, but it really consumes no less physical energy than a player like Rick Anderson who defends the line.

On the offensive end, too, Arenas loves to show off his skills, and the better he is, the more he loves to show.

It's okay to change to an ordinary opponent, when he encounters Li Ao, whose height and arm span are much stronger than him, and the stability of the defensive end is good, Arenas played overtime, and his physical strength was only enough to support him to use technology to get rid of Li Ao's shooting interference, and when it came time to shoot, he was already physically exhausted.

Switching offense and defense, Brushenthal attacked from close range, turned and dribbled a step, grabbed the ball and jumped to avoid Woods' interference, and hit a layup!

At 101-97, the Trojans lead the Wildcats by 4 points!

When it came to the Wildcats' offense, Gardner didn't pass the ball to Arenas this time, and he advanced to the frontcourt to single Granville and feint a step-back three-point jumper...... Entered!

The Trojans players have serious expressions, and the game is not over yet! The situation is still grim!

Arenas is not the only opponent.

Shelby Jordan first laughed at Granville when he served the ball, and then instructed him twice on how to adjust on the defensive end.

Granville was used to it, automatically blocking the previous sentence, nodding, and then advancing to the frontcourt, breaking through and attacking.

Faced with Granville's breakaway and Brushenthal's close-range scoring threat, the Wildcats' defense began to shrink inside.

Li Ao keenly noticed the changes in the opponent's defense, and after slipping the baseline, he made a big circle to the 45-degree angle on the right side.

Brushenthal received the ball on the left side of the three-second zone and played a long pass to Li Ao.

Li Ao received the ball at a 45-degree angle and shot two points long...... Again!

Granville and Brushenthal pressed the opponent's defense inside, and Bai Mamba was contained outside the three-point line, and Bai Mamba saw that Li Ao felt good and took the initiative to walk to the bottom corners on both sides, Li Ao's performance time was up!

In the next few rounds, Li Ao made two shots one step outside the free throw line, one shot on the left side of the free throw line, one shot on the right side of the three-second zone, and one layup on the counterattack follow-up...... 5 shots, except for the catch on the left side of the free throw line, the other 4 goals were scored!

During this period, Gardner played well, scoring 4 points and giving Michael Wright an assist, and the Wildcats scored 6 points as a team, which was already good in terms of overtime performance.

But I couldn't stand Li Ao's sudden outburst and cut 8 points in a row!

At 111-106, the Trojans' lead extended to 5 points!

The opposite No. 0 also scored 29 points, and the No. 0 of the Wildcats couldn't stand it!

He's been opening up space on the flanks for the past few rounds and watching the opposition No.0 score catch up.

He's going to fight back!

Richard Jefferson, who was serving, saw that Arenas was also about to serve, so he could only serve him.

Arenas advanced quickly, as aggressive as a short gun with a safety bolt, murderous.

Li Ao was guarding the top arc, and now he was extremely excited, as if he didn't feel tired.

Arenas wanted to sneak attack and feint to break through, but instead of moving forward, he directly pulled a step and jumped out.

Li Ao, who was highly concentrated, judged the opponent's movements, and quickly moved sideways and jumped out of his hand.

Arenas's jump height is not as good as before, although Li Ao's jump height has also been affected, but his bounce is average, and his height and arm span are his advantages.

This ball Li Ao successfully interfered in place!

Arenas is a three-pointer!

Michael Wright rushed aggressively and hit the ball, but unfortunately he only clicked the ball from the left side of the basket to the right side of the basket, and Granville, who was withdrawn, grabbed the rebound and counterattacked!

The angry Arenas continued to be angry and struggled to run back, not to mention, the blocking was really good this time, and Arenas was directly in front of him when Granville rushed into the three-second zone.

Granville didn't stop and plunged headlong into Arenas' arms while pushing the ball to the right.

Li Ao followed up to catch the ball, took a step forward, and held the ball to the rebound...... Hit the board into the frame!

14 of 17 shots, plus 3 of 4 free throws, Li Ao continued to set a new personal single-game scoring record and scored 31 points!

At 113-106, the Trojans' lead stretched to 7 points!

The Wildcats called a timeout, and Root-Olsen was not good, and the remaining hope was lost by the impulsive Arenas.

But the more this time comes, the more he has to use Arenas, otherwise he won't even have a chance to struggle.

He sent Gardner, Arenas, Luke Wharton, Michael Wright, and Woods to the fullest.

On the other side, Henry Bibby made the opposite choice, with one minute left and a seven-point lead, he switched to a combination of Nate Hale, Li Ao, Shelby Jordan, Jarvis Turner, and Charles, focusing on defense.

Coming back from the timeout, Gardner withdrew directly from the periphery and split the fire in three steps...... missed, Michael Wright grabbed the ball and threw it to Luke Wharton, who missed the three-point ...... Woods made a basket and didn't score.

This time, Charles protected the defensive rebound and hit three irons in a row in a few seconds, and the hopes of the Wildcats players were completely dashed.

Nate Hale received the ball and protected it, and after advancing to the frontcourt, it took time, and the Wildcats players did not press again, and their mentality was lost.

Towards the end of the 35-second offensive time, Nate Hale passed the ball to Li Ao, who took the ball and threw a shot...... Knocked down by Michael Wright, shot ruined, but got two free throws.

In the cheers of the fans at the scene, Li Ao hit both free throws, 115-106, and the Trojans sealed the win!

Although Gardner received the ball in the end, rushed to the front court and threw a three-pointer more than a meter away from the three-point line, he could not save the defeat.

Li Ao chased back and picked up the ball and sent it to Nate Hale, Nate Hale took the ball and threw it on the ground, there were only 4 seconds left, the players and coaches of the Trojans had already poured into the stadium to celebrate, the referee did not stop this behavior, Nate Hale threw the ball on the ground, and Gardner, who was two meters away nearby, had no intention of picking up the ball.

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, the long whistle sounded for the end of the game.

Relying on Li Ao's 33 points, 4 boards, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, Granville's 12 points and 11 assists, White Mamba's 21 points, Trey Pagnier's 19 points, Brushenthal's 15 points and 11 boards, Shelby Jordan's 6 points, 6 boards, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block...... The Trojans narrowly defeated the Wildcats 115-109 to start the game with an eight-game winning streak!

Some people were happy and some people were annoyed, and the Wildcats suffered their second defeat of the season, and their record became 6-2.

They felt like they could have won tonight, and Arenas exploded like that.

But the guy on the other side, who was surrounded by reporters after the celebration, snatched the victory!

It's just that a certain No. 0 player is too dazzling tonight, and there are some outrageous operations on the defensive end, which makes the Wildcats player hold a grudge tonight.

Especially Arenas and Michael Wright, and Li Ao's Liangzi knotted.

Michael Wright's idea was simple – look for an opportunity to rip off each other's pants as well.

In addition to this, it is simply the unhappiness of losing.

Arenas regarded Li Ao as an enemy, and he vowed to blow up the opponent once he fought Li Ao in the future.

On the other side, Li Ao, who scored the highest score in the game, became the subject of the post-game interview for this national live game.

"Leo, congratulations on leading your team to victory."

"Thank you, it's not just me, we couldn't have won this game without my team-mates...... It just so happened that I became the key one. ”

Is this modesty? Or is it not modest? The reporter felt that the latter was a little more, and he continued: "The fans may not know you very well, so you can introduce yourself first, such as what you like to do, of course I think your favorite is basketball, other than basketball." ”

"What I like, in addition to basketball, it's probably singing, dancing, playing rap, and I also know a little martial arts, called Tie Shan, let me show it......"

Li Ao wanted to play a set as he spoke, and the enduring melody had already come to his throat, just enough to show everything he liked.

"Ahem, cough, next time, next time." The reporter wiped his sweat and interrupted Li Ao, who wanted to perform.

Looking at the other party's impatient look, God knows how long this martial arts performance will take, he didn't expect this sven and reserved international student to be so expressive.

He changed the subject: "I heard that you have a good academic performance and have just started to learn to play basketball, what kind of opportunity made you choose to become a basketball player?" ”

Li Ao recalled this matter, and felt that it had been a long time, many months, and he subconsciously responded: "I hit 'Little Lambir' that day...... Ahem, I had a big fight with Shelby, and the coach probably took a fancy to my talent in the confrontation and thought I had a lot of defensive potential, and he asked me if I wanted to join the great Trojans, and I wanted to refuse because I didn't think the Trojans were great enough. ”

"You don't think the Trojans are great enough?"

"Yes, the Trojans are not great enough, but I, along with my teammates and coaches, will make the Trojans great and the pride of the Trojans!"
