56.Beat LA?
The party went late into the night, and when it was over, Jessica booked a car to pick up the guests and take them to a nearby hotel.
Li Ao went to the hotel and took a shower and fell asleep, suddenly becoming a chef, he didn't feel troublesome, he liked to cook, but fatigue would definitely be there.
Early the next morning, Li Ao and his entourage went to Jessica's house to say goodbye, then went to Oakland Airport and flew back to Los Angeles.
Li Ao and Vivian went back to the apartment together to rest until noon, Vivian didn't let Li Ao cook this time, called for takeout, and Li Ao had to go to the stadium to train in the afternoon.
Liam's side, after the party last night, stayed up late to summarize what Li Ao said, plus he knows more about investment, current affairs, and how to figure out the thoughts of political and business bigwigs than Li Ao, he wrote a long analysis report, and went home immediately after coming out of the airport, and cheated the old man out of money.
At half past one in the afternoon, Li Ao came to the Memorial Stadium to prepare for tomorrow's game with the Huskies.
It took 10 minutes to meet, 20 minutes to train, and half an hour to warm up......
They really don't look down on the Huskies, so after a few chats in the preparation meeting, they talked about the next opponent, the Duke team.
The 20-minute training session was just a regular tactical running drill.
Then came the free training time, and by this point in the season, the difference in perseverance, perseverance and importance was already clear.
The main list of 12 people has been stabilized, and the enthusiasm of the other 6 squad members has come down, no, today's free training time, only the remaining two are still insisting.
The members of the 12-man main list are also high and low, like Nate Hale, as a former high school genius and one of the best high school students in the state, who is looked up to by his classmates, has played 12 games in the new season, and is still a substitute, and his mentality has been affected.
Fortunately, the team atmosphere is good, and its attitude is not slack, but it often feels sorry for itself, dissatisfied with the status quo but has no ability to break the pattern.
This is very common in college basketball, depending on your ability to adjust, either accept it, or become stronger, or give up.
It's weird, the hardest working at this stage, it's Sam Clancy!
Brushenthal and Trepaganier worked hard and often practiced until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and Li Ao was not surprised, but Sam Clancy was even more tiger, showing his extremely grass-tolerant characteristics.
If this development continues, even if this teammate can't play in the NBA, it will definitely be no problem to be a submachine gun in Europe, go to a kangaroo or plant flowers to be a forward boss, as long as he is not so brainless, he will definitely have a prosperous life.
The most surprising is Shelby Jordan, who has often been seen lately as if he doesn't care about anything, lives one day at a time, and only thinks about where to go to get money to stay and practice defending and cutting into the frame.
After there was really the possibility of creating a brilliant future, people also became active.
It's really a team-mate who is full of players and knows exactly what he has to do on the pitch.
Unfortunately, this teammate, like those on the Cardinals, is very good in college and on a team, but the physical fitness is not enough to support them to go professionally.
If you add ten centimeters to your height, you are a center forward, and you have to give it a fight......
But Li Ao didn't worry too much about this, everyone has their own lives!
At least for now, they're a Tim and they're fighting together! Let's talk about the future.
Li Ao approached Xavier Johnson for special training, but Xavier Johnson refused.
"Today, you practice stopping and catching the ball and turning and shooting, the head coach of the women's team has been complaining that he didn't give them special training, I'm the head shooting coach, I can't just take care of you, right?"
"Oh, I've heard that the women's warriors transferred to a big forward with long legs and a very good figure."
Xavier Johnson angrily said: "I'm the coach! If you look high, it's a teacher! How can you hit the idea of the team! ”
"Perverts will only hit the team members, you are just an LSP, you are addicted, this is normal."
“……”
Xavier-Johnson scolded and left, Li Ao nodded, he guessed correctly, it was an LSP.
There is no shooting coach special training and it doesn't matter, it is true that his current development progress in the middle of the shot is stuck on the basic skills of emergency stop catching, he called the old man and shook him over, training while chatting, it was enough.
After a day of rest, Li Ao was in a very good mood for training today, and when he practiced catching the ball and stopping jump shots, his thinking was smoother.
On Wednesday, the Trojans were challenged by the Huskies at home.
The preparation stage was too easy, but when it came time for the game, the Trojans played brutally!
Granville started the game with 4 counterattacks in a row, scored 8 points in a row, and then got 3 points and 2 assists, which made the puppy want to go home.
16-4 in the opening game!
Momentum, strength, confidence...... The Trojans are no longer the same as the last time they played the Huskies.
Facing the Huskies team at the bottom of the division, they really want to play, and it is not without the possibility of playing the largest point difference in the history of the division.
However, Henry Bibby didn't have such a bad taste, and when he saw that the score difference was widening, he immediately made substitutions, specially adjusted the tactics for that kid, and the forward line responded to the flow of play.
Practicing with puppies, Li Ao was very excited, and went on the field to experience what it was like to be the core.
After the restart, Li Ao was confronted by Dieng Luton's mad dog defence.
However, although the momentum is sufficient, the effect is not good, so that Dieng Luton's attack is still feasible, and the defense is too difficult.
Li Ao made good use of Luton's overly excited emotions and overly active defensive movements, and got a lot of catch-and-shoot opportunities.
But it's a pity that the opponent's defense is really poor, after the point difference opened and lost the hope of an upset, the enthusiasm of the Huskies players was about equal to zero, and Li Ao played 27 minutes tonight and ate a zero assist.
Fortunately, he made 8 of 15 shots, plus 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 20 points in a single game!
In the back, the Trojans played casually both offensively and defensively, and all the players who guarded the water cooler got the opportunity to play, but they still maintained a huge lead.
relied on Li Ao's 20 points, 5 boards, 1 steal and 2 blocks, Granville's 7 points and 14 assists, and Charles's 15 points and 19 boards...... The Trojans defeated the Huskies 86-65 to win 13 in a row!
It's a new week, and on Tuesday afternoon, Li Ao traveled to Portland with the team, and after a night's rest, he came to Matthew Knight Coliseum to take on the University of Oregon Dukes.
It is quite rare to see a stadium named after a person, Li Ao specially checked it, and found out that it was built with a full donation, costing 200 million US dollars, which is the highest single donation ever received by the University of Oregon.
This Matthew Knight is the guy who created Nike, a graduate of the University of Oregon.
After entering, Li Ao took a look, this new stadium that has just been repaired for less than two years is definitely not as big as the Memorial Stadium, and if the Memorial Stadium holds the Crazy Three Finals or the NBA All-Star, more than 100,000 seats can be arranged.
But the seating distribution looks much more comfortable than the memorial stadium, and it should be a well-designed space structure, and the cheers and boos of 10,000 people are no worse than the more than 20,000 people in the memorial stadium.
"In the future, when I make money and return to China, I have to give the village BA a whole stadium, so I should support the development of domestic basketball."
At 7 p.m., the second meeting of the season between the Trojans and the Dukes began.
The Dukes are currently fourth in the division with 8 wins and 5 losses, beating the Bruins, and their strength should not be underestimated, and the Trojans' preparation and game state are completely different from the Huskies a few days ago.
The Dukes also showed a strong all-around strength at the beginning of the game, with point guard Darius Wright excelling in scoring points; Fred Jones has a strong shooting ability, excellent athleticism, and sharp counter-attacks; Alex Skells, a mature senior player, is excellent in all aspects, with three outside offensive firepower and good defense.
The disadvantage of Ed Smith and Brian Bliss's inside combination is that he is short, the former is 206 cm, the latter is 201 cm, in fact, not only the two of them, Fred Jones and Alex Skels are only 193 cm.
This makes them extremely weak in one-on-one rim protection, but with their strengths and weaknesses, their rotation defense is even better than that of the Cardinals!
In the starting stage, the Trojans did not bargain, but they were not careless and played very hard, only to bite the score in the opening stage, and when Henry Biby called a timeout at 6:39, the score was 9-13, and the Trojans were 4 points behind.
When it came to the rotation stage, Li Ao and Brushenthal were replaced, and Granville, Shelby Jordan, and White Mamba continued to play.
After Li Ao came on the court, in terms of scoring, he played the most sluggish performance in 7 games, and he has scored double-doubles in 6 consecutive games, and he ate a zero egg in 2 shots and 0 in the first half tonight.
The Dukes' tallest player is only 206 centimeters, not just starters, but also substitutes.
This makes the Dukes have the ability to strangle the mid-range shot, if Li Ao develops the catch-and-shoot and plays with a poor rhythm, he may have the strength to fight, but since he doesn't, then he can't score and contribute in other aspects.
He scored double-doubles in 6 consecutive games, with an average score of 11.07 points per game, and he has a mid-range shot containment, plus the white mamba outside the three-point line, Brushenthal has a lot of opportunities for one-on-one singles on the inside!
After Brushenthal came on the court, the Dukes' lack of one-on-one defense ability was fully revealed, and Li Ao's mid-range running not only contained the opponent's defense, but also gave Brushenthal the best choice to divide the ball.
With Li Ao answering, Brushenthal takes off tonight!
In the rotation stage, Brushenthal scored four goals in a row, including a 2+1, scored nine points in a row, and scored 15 points in less than 14 minutes in the first half.
This was completely unexpected by the Dukes, who were not so good when the two teams met for the first time on the second matchday of the season.
At that time, Brushenthal was always hiding from defenders who were not as heavy as him, and Ed Davis and Flo Hartenstein were both good at defending the flow of skills, and Brushenthal had a poor performance that night.
Obviously, when the Dukes were researching the new version of the Trojans, their attention was on Li Ao and Bai Mamba, who had been in the spotlight since they defeated the Wildcats.
With Brushenthal's strong inside attack, Li Ao got 3 assists during this time, plus after Granville and Shelby Jordan were replaced, Trey Pagnier, who came off the bench, performed well on the inside......
The offense stabilized and Fred Jones' counter-attack was contained.
In the positional battle, Fred Jones also played crazy in the face of Li Ao, and his catch-and-shoot performance dropped seriously, which affected the overall offense of the Dukes.
At halftime, the Trojans outscored the Dukes by 6 points, 39-33!
In the second half, Henry Bibby first used a defensive lineup to fight the opponent, sending a combination of Nate Hale, Trepagnier, Li Ao, Shelby Jordan, and Charles.
After more than 7 minutes of anxiety, Brushenthal, White Mamba and Granville were replaced, plus Trepagnier and Li Ao, to establish the victory in the middle of the second half.
At the critical moment, Granville borrowed Trepagnier to block and break through to Li Ao, and Li Ao passed to Bai Mamba, who hit a three-point shot to make the score 79-72, extinguishing the Duke's hope of a final comeback in one fell swoop!
The score remained unchanged and at 8:45 p.m., the final whistle blew.
With Brushenthal's season-high 26 points, White Mamba's 12 points, Trepagnier's 9 points, and Charles' 11 points...... The Trojans beat the Dukes by 7 points and won 14 in a row!
Li Ao scored 3 points on 1-of-4 shooting tonight, plus 1-of-2 free throws, and that goal followed Granville and Sam Clancy to counterattack, and then dunked one, thrilling did not refresh his personal single-game low.
He had a career-low 2-point run against the Dukes.
In addition to these 3 points, he also had 2 boards, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, totaling 115 achievement points.
After winning the double kill again, he got another 500 achievement points, and now he has 7065 achievement points.
The cumulative achievement points of 'Dark Horse Run' have also reached 7,000!
After glancing at the system prompt, Li Ao was about to celebrate the victory with his teammates, when a sparse shout suddenly sounded at the scene, and it became more and more neat.
Was swept and still had to provoke a wave? What is this operation?
Huh! No, this cry......
“Beat LA”
“Beat LA”
“Beat LA”
“……”
Inside Matthew Knight Stadium, the fans chanted 'Beat LA'.
Li Ao was stunned for a moment, the fat man still exploded to watch the ball?
Look around, no!
And at this time, the Lakers have not won the championship for many years, and in the past three years, they have either been swept or lost 1-4 in the playoffs.
No, it's not about the Lakers, it's about ...... Bruins!
Their Trojans won tonight, tying the Bruins' longest winning streak in 26 years since the '73-74 season.
During the game, Dukes fans were hoping to end their Trojans' winning streak, but they Trojans have already won, and Dukes fans want them to overtake the Bruins!
It is understandable that although the Bruins have only won 1 championship in the past 26 years, in these years, in the PAC10 League, except for the 95 Bruins who won the national championship, only the Wildcats won the national championship in 1997, although the cardinals' record can be compared with these two teams, their style of play is destined to go far in the crazy three, the last time the cardinals won the championship was at the beginning of the establishment of the NCAA basketball tournament in 1942.
Since the establishment of the PAC10 League in 1928 and the NCAA Basketball National Championship in 1938, 11 of the 13 national championships won by the PAC10 League have been won by the Bruins.
That is, this league has been ruled by the Bruins for more than 60 years!
The Bruins, also known as the Lakers of the NCAA, can be imagined how hated they are, and the most hostile and hated this team are naturally the other teams in the same league.
7 consecutive championships, and the possibility of that thing being broken in theory is almost zero.
But after 7 consecutive championships, the Bruins have the longest winning streak in the division, and if there is any team that wants to break it, as long as it is not the Bruins, the fans of the other 8 teams will support it!
It's just this slogan......
Dit!
Li Ao heard his teammates shouting "Beat LA" with the away fans!
Nima!
We're a Los Angeles team too!
Do I hit myself?
