This situation made his eggs hurt, and he decided to practice the basics of defense for an extra hour every day for the next few days.

In addition to this, there was another thing that surprised him.

"Training mode: The team schedules training.

Training content: basic skills of single defense.

Completion: Exceeding the training schedule of the coaching staff.

Training Score: Pass.

Congratulations to the host for receiving the training reward: 100 achievement points. ”

How long has it been, and Xavier Johnson and Kevin Henderson have been qualified for shooting and passing, and I don't know how many times they have been qualified.

For the first time, defensive training has been done to Sam Hayes.

But Li Ao does not complain about this strict assistant coach, the defense has improved faster than those two, and having this high-level and demanding defensive assistant coach is definitely an important reason.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Li Ao finished his training, returned to the apartment at 8 o'clock, and met the assistant aunt who was still panting in sweat at the door of the apartment.

"Aunt Vivian, what have you done, so much sweat?"

"Fitness! I went to the gym next door to the flower shop and got a card, and I ran back and forth so as not to get the car dirty. ”

Only then did Li Ao notice that Vivian was wearing a sportswear, still panting lightly when she spoke, and the slightly tight sportswear was also sticking to her body because of sweat......

He looked away and asked, "Why did you suddenly remember to work out?" ”

"Winter is coming, I want to exercise, let's go upstairs first, I want to take a shower quickly, my body is smelly, I have asked the physiotherapy center to prepare dinner, and I will be almost washed when it is delivered, it is definitely better than your team's nutritious meal."

"Eating too much to lose weight after exercising has no effect."

"I don't lose weight, I exercise moderately and maintain my metabolism."

"Yes, you really don't need to lose weight." Li Ao subconsciously looked down...... After reacting, he immediately looked away.

How do you press the elevator door?

Vivian smiled when she saw this, and after getting on the elevator, she said: "The room next to you has been rented out, I will rent it tomorrow and change it to a gym, so I don't have to go so far to go to the gym." ”

"Why?"

"The men in the gym are all staring at me, just like you just did."

"How can I stare at you...... Ahem, wear looser clothes next time you work out! ”

"I don't! I'm going to wear less and tighter. Vivien said and twisted twice.

"......" Li Ao rolled his eyes, he had no choice but to give up resistance: "You just got the card, and you didn't go after only one day, it's a loss, can you return the card?" ”

"Returning the card?" Vivien didn't think about it, "It seems that the store was opened by Liam's family, yes, ask him to return the money!" ”

…

After receiving physiotherapy and rubbing a nutritious meal from a top physiotherapy center, the taste is completely different from that of the Trojans, and the charging items are different.

At 11 p.m., Li Ao returned to his small suite, took a shower, and prepared for bed.

Before going to bed, he turned on the system, looked at the 6815 achievement points, and then looked at the 7000 achievement points accumulated by the 'Dark Horse Run', he endured it for several days.

He believes that if you have the idea of going to a career, you have to have a long-term plan.

It's the middle of the season, and it's time to start accumulating enough achievement points for offseason training.

But he didn't have a score for how much.

The training task needs to consume achievement points, which can be returned to half by completing it at one time, and the body physiotherapy function, 1 secondary 100 achievement points.

I don't know if the team will arrange special training in the offseason, and the coach should also have a vacation, but it's hard to say, try out, arrange training for high school students who are about to enter college...... It shouldn't be a long vacation, and it is estimated that there may be team training tasks to do.

There are both known and unknown conditions, and it is impossible to calculate them in detail.

"Dark Horse Attack, since you have shouted a complete victory, then you should still have 9,000 achievement points to extract......

Thinking of this, the impulse to consume prevails.

The achievement points of the dark horse rush cannot be moved, and they have to be tuned, and the existing achievement points must be left with more than 3,000 for backup.

He decided, draw 3 times!

He gave a command in his heart, and the system screen switched to the lottery interface, and 3 white lights flashed......

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 level 2 skill upgrade card fragment."

"Congratulations to the host for the item: Rotten Pen.

Rotten pen: When the host uses this pen to take study notes and practice exercises, his memory is enhanced and his comprehension ability is enhanced. Note: The magnitude of comprehension enhancement depends on the host's talent in terms of what is being learned. ”

"Congratulations to the host for the recipe: Macaroni (whole)."

The first reward made him happy.

But the latter two ......

Is this a basketball dream system, or a top student system?

No, the Xueba system is not so pulled.

Li Ao thought about it, he would not give up his studies, if he had the conditions, living to learn was his attitude towards knowledge.

At this stage, his basketball career has just started, and he is in the critical stage of polishing the foundation, and he needs to devote all his spare time to training, which will inevitably affect his learning.

Improving his learning efficiency will allow him to focus more on basketball training?

Li Ao was quite happy to draw such a prop.

That's it, take out the meditation teapot to make tea in class, take notes with a rotten pen...... The style of painting is weird.

Fortunately, although this one is called a 'bad pen', the shape is actually quite good-looking.

Taking the rotten pen back into the system, Li Ao 'recalled' the various practices of macaroni, as long as he thought about it, he knew what to do.

Macaroni, which he remembers to be a favorite food for his aunt, is generally popular in the United States.

Li Ao: ()

Is this to leave him a way out?

If you go bankrupt, can you still work as a private chef for the assistant aunt?

True - human.

…

"Leo, what does that mean?"

"The Wind of Meng Ou...... The meaning of hospitality. ”

"That one, that's so cool!"

"It's called lion dance, if you like it, I'll find a few movies about lion dance for you, it's much more interesting than this, the content is probably two lion dancers fighting."

"That one, they also speak Chinese? How is it different from yours? ”

"In the regional dialect, I speak Mandarin, the lingua franca of China, and that should be Teochew...... Yes, Aunt Vivian, look at that, Teochew Hall ......"

"Oh...... I don't understand. ”

“……”

On January 30, the morning of the second day of the holiday, the team did not arrange training in the morning, and Li Ao did not go to the Memorial Stadium to practice, but came to Chinatown, north of Sunset Avenue and near the city center.

I mentioned it the day before yesterday, that is, at noon on Friday, and the aunt got up early this morning, and I wanted to come with him with great interest.

When he arrived at the parking lot and was about to leave, Liam also came, and Li Ao had to take it with him.

He's a pain in the ass, and if he's familiar with the place, he's happy to be a tour guide, and there's a lot to talk about.

But he didn't know it at all, when he first arrived in the United States the year before last, his curiosity came again, and he came once before the Chinese New Year last year, but he didn't have any curiosity for the second time, so he directly inquired about the location and bought what he wanted to buy.

There's really nothing to introduce.

Fortunately, the assistant aunt didn't ask every question in depth, and he was able to cope with it.

Also, Liam looked particularly depressed today, not as chattering as usual, otherwise he would have to buy a travel brochure, make a cup of tea, take out a pen and copy it to see if he can remember it.

After a walk, Li Ao took the two of them to buy things to buy.

He asked curiously, "Why do you have to come with me today?" ”

Vivian responded: "Sister Mary will not come to accompany you for Chinese New Year's Eve this year, so Aunt I will accompany you this year!" ”

Liam finally spoke: "You are pitiful enough that no one has been with you for Christmas, the importance of Chinese New Year's Eve in your country and Christmas seems to be similar in our country, and you are too miserable if no one has accompanied you on Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

Li Ao: "......"

Don't say it's really miserable!

The sister Mary in Vivian's mouth is his mother, Zhou Limei, who took the English name Mary when she came to Eagle Sauce's house.

Last year, his mother came to accompany him for the New Year, but he didn't come this year, so he can't just take care of him alone, his father is still in China.

Originally, his parents were going to accompany him together, but when they applied for a visa, they were told that they could only come alone, for fear that their family would stay here and not go back.

Vivien retorted to Liam: "Leo Christmas is not alone, he brought a beautiful woman home, and I borrowed my big bed for him. ”

Liam, who was half-dead, suddenly felt a lot more energetic: "Didn't he say that he had nothing to do with Jessica Alba?" ”

Li Ao interrupted the gossip between the two: "Liam, why do you look like you've been sucked dry today?" ”

Liam's attention shifted instantly, and he held his waist and said: "Leo, you said that well, it is really a thirty-year-old woman like a wolf, a forty-year-old woman like a tiger, and I was surrounded by tigers and wolves last night......"

Li Ao hurriedly stopped: "Okay, you said it very well, don't say it next time." ”

Aunt Courtyard Assistant didn't hide Liam's disgust in her eyes.

It's really sucked dry, and it's said that thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger, usually one-on-one, Liam is at ease, and he can play all night and this product can be alive and well the next day.

Actually playing multi-person sports, this waist is really not wanted!

Li Ao saw a Chinese medicine hall in front of him and said, "Liam, do you want to go there and see the doctor to buy some food tonic medicine?" ”

"Chinese medicine? Did he give me a stitch and I would be able to recover immediately? Liam's eyes lit up.

"No, using medicinal herbs and food to treat diseases, maintain health, and regulate the overdrawn body is what Chinese medicine is good at.

"I don't believe it! A stitch in Jackie Chan's movie is good! I'm going to check it out! ”

"Then you go, I'll go buy things for Chinese New Year's Eve first."

…

Li Ao took the assistant aunt to buy blessing characters, candles, incense, and New Year's paintings...... Dried duck, dried fish, dried rabbit, salted fish, bacon, sausages used to be steamed and eaten...... The store used a trailer to drop off the things and take them to the parking lot, and he felt that he had bought too much.

But when he returned to the Chinese medicine hall and saw Liam coming out with a huge suitcase, he felt that he had bought less again.

After putting their things in the car, the three of them arrived at the most famous Chinese restaurant in the area.

Li Ao looked at the sign of 'Pearl River Deli' and was ready to order chicken.

As the saying goes, no chicken can leave Guangdong alive.

Led by the waiter, the three of them came to a window compartment and sat down.

Li Ao felt that there was no atmosphere for eating Chinese food at all, but after all, it was not in China, and it was about to be.

In the ordering session, it was time for Li Ao's performance.

Although he has no idea of 'promoting' Chinese food, people in other countries love to eat it.

But when you come to the Chinese restaurant, you must choose a few delicious dishes and let your friends know about them.

Open the menu......

Li Ao: (_)

What's the matter, what is Zuo Zongtang's chicken? Does Zuo Zongtang also make chicken? He had only heard of Dongpo meat.

Tofu sauce rice?

Chicken stew with cheese and garlic?

Take a look at the rest, turn the page.

Soup, yes, order a soup first.

(ó﹏ò)

Wonton noodle soup?

Shrimp noodle soup?

Why is it all noodle soup? Is it the kind of soup he thinks of when he eats burning noodles?

Flip and flip, pasta! Yes, pasta first!

()

Cheese fried chaos, and the choice of with or without ketchup, who can tell him, what is this thing?

The three people next to him were all looking forward to it, waiting for Li Ao to order something delicious, but they saw that his expression became more and more strange.

Then, I saw Li Ao close the menu and hand it to the waiter: "Miss, just order your signature dish, the amount of 3 people." ”

That's it?

Liam waited for the waiter to leave and asked, "Leo, why is your expression so strange?" This is a Chinese restaurant, right? How do you act like you've never eaten Chinese food. ”

Li Ao responded: "Those dishes...... Well, your Eagle Sauce family is worthy of being a country that brings together immigrants from all over the world, and it's really free. ”

Liam puffed out his chest: "That's, haven't you heard of Free America?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the Chinese food you have here, if you put it in our place, it is definitely to soak the pig cage."

"Dip in the pig cage? What do you mean? ”

"Uh...... An immersive water program. ”

"Oh? Then I have the opportunity to go to the flower planter's house, and I must give it a try. ”

“……”

Business at this restaurant is very good at noon, and the amount of raw materials for the signature dish is large, and the dishes will come up soon.

Li Ao also ate at a Chinese restaurant in the United States for the first time, and although the name and style of the dish made him feel weird, he was still looking forward to the taste.

I tasted it all once, and the taste was not as weird as he imagined, and some of them were actually quite delicious, and the taste was quite rich, such as garlic wrapped in cheese fried, which looked like a dark dish, but the taste could only be said to be special, not unpleasant, and it was quite fresh to eat occasionally.

But it is also limited to eating occasionally, eating these every day, it is estimated that the stomach and intestines can't stand it, and the price is expensive.

…

After lunch, the three of them separated, Li Ao opened the hospital to help his aunt's car go to the Memorial Stadium, Vivian took a taxi back to the apartment with her suitcase, and Liam took the doctor who was waiting outside the restaurant for acupuncture.

The team training in the afternoon was still easy, only 40 minutes, not much.

After the team training, Li Ao continued to conduct special training, and today it is still defensive training.

After yesterday's team meeting, Kevin Henderson told him that his special training this week will focus on strengthening the defense.

With enough mid-range shots and enough 'transfer experts' for passing, at present, for the team, the most important thing for the team to improve and help the team the most is defense.

He has no opinion on this, it is true that even if he improves his mid-range shooting by one or two points, it will not produce a qualitative change, and if the defense can go further, it will be more helpful for the next game in the final stage of the regional battle.

There is also the fact that the team's special training only arranges defense, and he can also practice shooting himself, this morning is a special situation, and he has to buy something for the New Year, and he can practice tomorrow morning.

Today's training session was different from yesterday afternoon, and the first training session Sam Hayes had scheduled was strength training.

The amount is not large, half an hour.

Then Sam Hayes and Kevin Henderson selected five players, Nate Hale and Rashad Jones two defenders, forward Sam Clancy, Elmark Barry and Rob Ezes two insiders, plus Li Ao, began to work on 3-on-3 zone tactical coordination.

The two coaches played the training as if it were a tactical duel, with Kevin Henderson picking Nate Hale, Sam Clancy, and Elmark Barry to play a small area to play the attack, and Sam Hayes using Rashad Jones, Li Ao, and Rob Eres to deal with the opposing offense.

Li Ao understood why he was doing strength training, that is, to consume the best stage of his physical strength and lower his defensive ability.

It's also a good training program, and if you face a close opponent, it's important to have a defensive consistency after the physical exertion in the decisive phase of the match.

Opposite Li Ao again, Sam Clancy showed a hideous smile, perseverance, repeated defeats, this time, must defeat this bastard!

After a few sets of trainings......

Sam Clancy crouches in the corner and draws circles.

It was hit.

That bastard has an inside line behind him, and he can easily block his inside attack.

And once he went straight to the inside, he was also interfered with by that bastard, and it was not the kind of foul action that he stopped half a year ago, or it was a regular defense.

But this little blow can't break him!

At the end of the break, he continued to train with high morale after drawing circles.

Kevin Henderson is praising him for getting better and better at turning and jumping, and he firmly believes that one day he will definitely grab the main bench position!

On the other hand, Li Ao also felt the progress of Sam Clancy's technique, but this teammate's offense mainly depends on physical fitness, and the skills he practices are only better physical fitness, as long as he can withstand and predict the opponent's offensive options, Sam Clancy's skills are useless.

After an hour of 3-on-3 training, Li Ao continued to train in basic skills......

Time passed day by day, shooting in the morning, team training and defense in the afternoon, and the time came to February 2nd.

In the morning, Li Ao continued to practice shooting.

After a large set of hook hand training, Li Ao received a hint of attribute improvement!

"Congratulations on increasing the host's explosive power from 86 to 87."

"Congratulations to the host for increasing the bounce from 77 to 78 and the bounce speed from 80 to 81."

"Congratulations to the host for improving their strength from 89 to 90 and reaching the top level (NCAA)."

"Name: Li Ao, English name: Leo.

Age: 18 years old (August 1, 1981).

Height: 200 cm, Reach: 215 cm.

Weight: 93 kg.

Overall rating: 69.

Physical fitness: speed 89 (burst acceleration 82), strength 89 (explosive power 87), bounce 78 (speed 81), flexibility 92, physical strength 90......

Basic skills: three-point - (not up to the basic level), 78 mid-range shots, 87 layups, hook hands—......, 69 ball control, 76 passes, 79 step back, 79 lateral moves, 80 around the front, 69 strides, 64 turns......

Technique: 65 hook hands, 66 ...... catches and turns"

The second top-level level of physical fitness!

Li Ao is very happy, before he joined the school team, his physical fitness has been well developed, he has been exercising for a long time since he was 14 years old, and his physical strength is the best, but after receiving professional basketball training, he knows that there is still room for further excavation in terms of physical strength, and he can feel the improvement of physical strength in a few months, and finally break through to the top level!

He believes that physical strength is crucial for a defensive striker swingman.

Tony Allen is so good at defense that he is evaluated not to lose to Payton, but he is unstable in defense, and he has only 3 times in his entire career, the reason is his poor physical strength, he can only play more than 20 minutes in a game, and the defensive highlight time is less than 20 minutes, and when he plays more than 30 minutes, the defense is almost invisible.

And after Tony Allen turned 33, his defense dropped significantly, and he basically couldn't find a job after the age of 35.

Another more intuitive example, Bruce Bowen, at the age of 37, can still play an average of 30+ minutes per game and take a defense, just because of his good physical strength and enough defensive continuity.

Physical strength is a talent, just like the grass tolerance, if you can't practice it, you can't practice it.

Li Ao is very glad that his talent in this area is not bad!

However, the NCAA top level, it is difficult to say in the NBA, the difference in foundation is too big, the weakest players in the NBA are the top players in the NCAA, and the technical part is another piece, only the physical condition, the average gap is too large, of course, the top gap may be very small.

Keep up the good work and don't slack off!
