51. Sir, times have changed
Check whether each piece of clothing is good or bad?
Of course it can't be, after Vivian forced Li Ao to surrender in anger, she made a phone call and asked the factory to send the light sign directly to the computer school, and didn't care about that bunch of things.
Find someone to send to school tomorrow morning, and hand it over to someone from the student council.
Li Ao made dinner, and after he was full, he continued to study the video, mainly the last three games, to analyze the performance of the players who may be in the opposite position after returning from vacation.
On the second day, after a day of classes, Li Ao came to the Memorial Stadium at 3:30 p.m.
Two weeks ago, he already felt that the fan atmosphere was more hot than ever towards matchday.
Now, the popularity is unprecedented!
Tomorrow's game is away from home, but today the fans gathered outside the Memorial Stadium, Li Ao saw a group of people wearing their special 'uniforms', looking at the movement, it seemed that they were practicing shouting slogans, and they should be holding a meeting to discuss the matter of facing the Bruins fans outside the Poly Arena, which is the gymnasium dedicated to the UCLA basketball club, tomorrow.
There is a slogan - 12 wins in a row.
The call for 12 consecutive victories was heard by Li Ao since he defeated the Cardinals.
With a nine-game winning streak over the Cardinals, the next two opponents are the Fish Belly, and fans have no doubts about their 11-game winning streak.
Now, the 11-game winning streak is on the cards, and fans are eager to see them win 12 in a row, tying the longest winning streak in nearly 12 years!
A longer streak than 12 straight wins, the PAC10 division, has to be traced back to the 1988-1989 season, when the Wildcats won a wave of 14 consecutive wins.
In the past 11 seasons, UCLA has won 12 in a row and the Wildcats twice.
Catching them up, surpassing them, is what Trojans fans expect right now.
Before entering the Memorial Stadium, Li Ao turned his head to look at the fans in the small square in front of the gate, carrying their expectations, and the pressure was really not small.
But what makes the fans have stronger and stronger expectations, he and his teammates have worked hard to win it back, and they feel full of accomplishment.
…
"The King of Los Angeles!"
"The King of Los Angeles!"
"The King of Los Angeles!"
On January 20, 2000, at half past six in the evening, after the warm-up, Li Ao and his teammates came to the entrance of the away team's players' tunnel and heard the uniform shouts of the fans.
There is a big difference between people and people, and there is even more difference between teams and teams.
They were still shouting '12 wins in a row' and 'make the Trojans great', and the Bruins home fans were shouting 'King of Los Angeles'.
This atmosphere, Li Ao couldn't stop making a "tsk" sound in his mouth, this stadium is much smaller than the Memorial Stadium, not even as large as a partition of the Memorial Stadium, even the commercial area has only a few small shops, there are only a few training grounds, and there are only more than 13,000 seats on the scene, or a tight arrangement, it is said that the original design was 8,000 seats.
But the momentum of the fans at the scene is no worse than the more than 20,000 people in the Memorial Stadium!
Entering the stadium, Li Ao was found by reporters to visit the pre-game scene before Li Ao had time to inspect the cheerleading team of the Bruins.
It is said that there are differences in the team, and this is reflected here.
Unlike the Trojans, the Bruins' games, all of which are played every season, are broadcast live throughout California, and back in the '70s, they signed a full broadcast deal with local Visualizers.
This is unique in the entire NCAA, and the live broadcast rights of other schools are held by the NCAA Association.
The 12-year-10 championships in the '60s and '70s made the Bruins more influential in the California region than the Lakers at the time, and basketball fans wanted to watch every game, so the Bruins got such a privilege.
It is rumored that the NCAA has always wanted to take back the broadcast rights, but the Bruins will not give it no matter how much they offer.
The reason, just like today's game is broadcast live in the United States, but there is also a local broadcast in California, in this case, the local live broadcast is often higher than the national live broadcast ratings, after all, the competition area, at least eighty percent of the people who follow are local fans.
This time, the pre-match interview was conducted by a local TV station.
As soon as the reporter spoke, he could hear that his ass was crooked, and the first question was: "Leo, what do you think of the atmosphere at the scene?" ”
Li Ao responded: "The king of Los Angeles? Did they ask the Trojans football team for their opinion? ”
The reporter immediately denied: "No, they are talking about the king of basketball." ”
Li Ao asked with a surprised expression: "The Lakers have moved?" ”
The reporter had a look of surprise, this guy is really so underwhelmed!
After adjusting his mood, the reporter asked a more tricky question: "Do you see the 11 championship flags over the stadium?" Do you think you can still win in this place? ”
Li Ao glanced at the 11 championship flags and responded: "It's a great achievement, but now that the Cold War is over, it's all the 21st century, sir, times have changed...... It's not like we haven't won against them, I won with my own hands. ”
When the reporter came, he was as arrogant as a Bruins player, and he left in a huff.
He regretted it so much that he had asked Granville for an interview if he had known about it, and that guy couldn't even get a few of his farts slapped.
The Trojans players watched from the sidelines and cheered when they saw the reporter being.
Most of them were not thick-skinned before, and the team's record was far from that of the Bruins, and every time they came here, they were ridiculed by reporters, and they couldn't talk back.
There's a thick-skinned, 'little Ranbill', but he's too grumpy, and he was banned for two games last season for slapping a reporter, and they originally wanted the reporter to provoke Shelby Jordan again, but the reporter coaxed him.
Who would have thought that this reporter would turn a corner but couldn't think of it, and actually provoked their super genius, should!
The Bruins fans in front of the TV were also angry, but the Trojans fans were excited.
How could they ever have such a rigid player?
Loved, loved!
Henry Bibby is also very satisfied with Li Ao's anger at the reporter's departure, at the home of the Bruins, he always has a feeling of betrayal, in terms of ability, the media has recognized him as stronger than Steve LaVine in recent years, but UCLA not only rejected him directly when recruiting the head coach, but also never gave him a good word later, his love for this school and this team at the beginning turned into hostility.
The cheerleading show was over, and Henry Beebe called the team together to make the final arrangements before the game.
Li Ao glanced at the players opposite, unlike two months ago, the Bruins players sitting at home, in such a frenzied atmosphere on the scene, everyone's expressions were very serious, and there was no arrogance at all in the last meeting.
Tonight's game is a tough one!
The Bruins have ruled Los Angeles for decades, and the new century has arrived, opening a new era of basketball in Los Angeles...... Mission: Times have changed and triggered. ”
"Times have changed:
Goal: Defeat the Bruins.
Reward: Heavy Stress Level 1. ”
The mission came as no surprise to Li Ao, but the reward was not related to Capono, but to Barnes.
Not bad either!
…
At 7 p.m., the game began.
The Trojans starting lineup remains the same, the Bruins starting lineup remains the same, with the five-man duo of Earl Watson, Ray Young, Matt Barnes, Jason Capono and Dan Gazuric.
After coming on the court, Shelby Jordan and Matt Barnes, who had a holiday, both cursed and defended with extra roughness, setting the tone for the game.
It's Cappano who suffers, and it's Shelby Jordan who guards him.
The White Mamba, on the other hand, was at ease in the face of Matt Barnes' tough and rough defense.
Matt Barnes is also very good at defending without the ball, but what he is best at is the single defense of the opponent's forward line arrows, as well as the supplementary defense in the joint defense, and the defense of the ball, compared to the opening game, he did not do a better job.
On the contrary, the White Mamba has made great progress, and Matt Barnes's deterrent actions have been far less effective for him than they were in the opening game.
In addition to the White Mamba, Trepaganier played Ray Young, and he also performed well.
However, apart from the two of them, the rest of the Trojans have not played well on the offensive end, and the Bruins have done a good job of defending the others.
Granville's passing was limited and Shelby Jordan and Charles didn't have many chances.
Although the white mamba shot accurately, it was mainly Trepagnier who fed him the ball, and he could not fully exploit the white mamba's excellent shooting performance tonight.
On the offensive side of the Bruins, Capono always pinned down Shelby Jordan, and Earl Watson took the opportunity to beat Granville and scored well from close range.
Gazuric's inside connection is also very good.
The Trojans took the initiative in the opening game, but the margin did not widen.
After a few minutes of play, the Bruins took the lead in making a change, replacing Ray Young, putting Matt Barnes on guard Trey Pagnier, and replacing him with Jerome Moiso, the favorite for the sixth man of the year, who averaged 13 points and seven boards per game.
Moiso took advantage of the containment of Capono and Gazuric to score from close range in a row, setting off a wave of Bruins to fight back 8-3 and overtake the Trojans 17-15.
Fortunately, Granville and Trepe Pagnier responded in time, and Trepe Pagnier pulled outside when Granville broke through, bringing Matt Barnes to the top arc and creating better space for Granville to break through.
Moiso, who defended the White Mamba on the flank, was far less able to time his contractions and cut off passes than Matt Barnes.
Granville finally broke through the opposition defence and connected with the White Mamba to stabilize the situation.
However, Henry Bibi on the sidelines was full of worries, generally speaking, the white mamba was the strongest defense of the opponent's forward, and the opponent directly sent the three forwards tonight!
The shooting guard, who was supposed to be what he thought was the dominant position, was locked up.
Although Granville and Trey Pagnier adjusted in time to break through the opponent's point guard blockade, the Bruins' passing and receiving defense inside and outside the pass and receiver was still very good.
Obviously, the Bruins, who had already lost once, were more prepared this time.
The home atmosphere also helped the Bruins, who played very hard.
Fortunately, the white mamba shot was accurate tonight and had enough containment, otherwise there would be no room for Granville to break through.
As Henry Bibby had expected, after a few more rounds, it turned into a battle between Granville's breakaway throw, Moiso's under-the-basket and Earl Watson's perimeter shot.
The Trojans were suddenly in a disadvantageous situation.
Henry Bibby called a timeout in time to replace Shelby Jordan with Li Ao.
As soon as Li Ao came on the field, he made a contribution.
He used the White Mamba on the flank to cover the left side of the free-throw line, and Moiso switched to him.
Granville divided the ball in time, Li Ao received the ball and passed the ball to close range, Capono failed to keep up with the white mamba as soon as possible after the block, Gazuric made up to the left baseline to cut off the contact between the white mamba and his teammates, and it was Charles who received the ball at close range!
Charles received the ball and took a step to smash the ball into the basket with one hand to complete the score.
After landing on the ground, Charles yelled at the fans who were insulting outside the baseline, attracting more violent scolding and boos.
But this time, he listened to it very well!
Finally scored, Gazuric said nothing else, the frame is really good.
In the first few minutes, his teammates played okay, but he was locked up, and the fans outside the baseline kept insulting and taunting him in order to provoke him.
One of them is a sentence "If you move, this is soft?" He was so angry that he didn't want it.
Now that Leo is on, he finally has a chance to score!
With that pie eaten, Charles played more on the defensive end and caused more problems for Moiso's close-range attack.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Henry Bibby waved his hand in an uppercut style, yelled "Goode", and then quickly put away his movements as if he had done nothing.
In fact, there are still some regrets, if Li Ao and Shelby Jordan go together, they can block the opponent's entire forward line.
But without the White Mamba, the offensive end is not contained enough, there is no space, so you can only fight for defense, and the White Mamba defense is good inside, and the flank cover and baseline cut before Barnes are also passable.
But now Barnes is playing the tactical role of Ray Young before, running in a wide range and running in the air, which is difficult for the white mamba, Barnes's speed, strength, and running awareness are better than Ray Young's scoring guard, and he can only consume Trey Pagnier's physical strength...... It's all to blame on that kid!
He said to Xavier Johnson on the side: "If Leo had been as accurate as Bryan's three-pointer, he would not only control the situation now, but also play the advantage." ”
Xavier Johnson: (¬_¬)
What does it mean to be cheap and sell well?
That's it!
He replied: "I can't continue to increase my training time, and his spare time is already full." ”
Henry Bibby muttered, "Then we can only start by increasing playing time and practicing in actual combat." ”
Speaking of this, he laughed out loud, he is really a ruthless and vicious coach!
Henry Bibby is getting more and more dissatisfied, and Steve LaVine on the other side is about to crack.
Is anyone really making progress so fast?
It's only been two months!
Even if it's Duncan and Olajuwon, the freshman year is purely based on physical fitness and has no skills at all, right?
It's only been two months since the last fight, and that Chinese kid is like being reborn!
