61. Let's have a good brain! (400 monthly pass plus change)

In the last meeting, Li Ao used this action to taunt Arenas, and the Wildcats fans who watched the live broadcast were impressed.

Now seeing Arenas provoking Li Ao with the same action, the fans at the scene did their best to cheer for Arenas!

Li Ao's chin raised slightly, glanced at Arenas with his peripheral vision, and said loudly to his teammates: "Pay attention to the defense of Wright, he is the strongest player on the Wildcats, be careful of his strong inside attack!" Actively flank! ”

Arenas's smug expression turned to a look of indifference, and Gardner directly scolded a word that began with F.

The Trojans player who impressed the Wildcats the most was Li Ao.

It's not that he scored 33 points in a single game and 14 points in overtime in the last game, but that he defensively.

The defense said it was dirty, it didn't count, there was no hurtful action, on the contrary, once Woods almost fell because of a slippery floor, and this guy also helped him.

But it's so obscene! There are endless small actions to provoke the defenders, only the unexpected, and there is nothing that cannot be done.

Root Olsen repeatedly reminded the two victims, Arenas and Michael Wright, in the preparation phase, to keep them off the hook.

Michael Wright, teammate Gardner, is not worried, only Arenas.

Seeing Shelby Jordan being replaced, Gardner was ready to feed Michael Wright, and Arenas had already blown Trey Pagnier and was out of rage, and it was time to start playing.

Arenas scored 10 points in 4 of the 6 in front, and at this time, if Li Ao came up and sprayed trash talk directly at Arenas, Gardner would not be worried, he had been a partner for so long, he knew what kind of character Arenas was.

I didn't expect the bastard on the other side to say such a sentence as soon as he came up!

As Gardner expected, after the ball was released, Arenas continued to ask for the ball in the top arc.

He could only pass the ball over, and he was sure that if he didn't, this guy would definitely be angry, and it was fancy and unpredictable!

Arenas burned with anger in his heart, but acted calmly, waiting for his teammates to move their positions.

After the last defeat, he spent many days studying the video and studying how Li Ao defended him, just for today.

He has already understood Li Ao's strategy to defend him, the opponent's defense is to affect the rhythm of his shots, he doesn't care about the rhythm, how to shoot well!

Seeing Michael Wright go to flank Jefferson to cover off the ball, Arenas began to break through Li Ao!

Li Ao's first step was in place and gave Arenas a confrontation in time.

Arenas retreated half a step and cast a horizontal pull in front of his body.

Li Ao moved quickly, his height and weight were dominant, and the 'Heavy Pressure Level 1' was triggered, and his speed was temporarily increased to 91, and the burst acceleration was increased to 84, although he failed to give Arenas another confrontation, but he kept up.

Arenas burst into the inside, and Li Ao quickly retreated.

Arenas took a step sideways to the free throw line, and Li Ao moved sideways in time to move into place when Arenas grabbed the ball and jumped!

Li Ao didn't take off and press up, his strength was old, and it was difficult to maintain the interference efficiency when he jumped, so he raised his hands as close to Arenas as possible.

Arenas, who was in a hurry to get rid of the defense, did not jump enough this time, Li Ao's defensive choice was correct, and the interference was in place!

However, Arenas is Arenas, he forcibly leaned back in the air, and when he threw the ball, he had already leaned back more than 45 degrees, successfully threw the ball, and the whole person fell backwards and fell to the floor.

Li Ao jumped hard as Arenas threw the ball, but he didn't jump high enough and the ball flew past his fingertips...... Entered!

Hearing the cheers of the fans at the scene for Arenas and the ridicule of him, Li Ao was not discouraged.

He knew that he had defended himself to his limit, and he couldn't help it if the other party felt good.

And he doesn't believe that Arenas can score every goal.

Li Ao was cheering himself up, but Arenas, who scored such a goal, did not continue to provoke, and ran directly to the backcourt after getting up.

Li Ao's shock on the defensive end was greater than the excitement of him shooting such a difficult shot.

Switching offense and defense, Granville advanced to the front court and broke through to launch an attack.

Li Ao went around to the right side of the free throw line to receive the ball, and passed straight to the middle without stopping the ball, and Trepagnier entered the basket with Arenas to catch the ball and throw it to hit!

Ruuter Olsen on the sidelines was once again amazed.

In the last meeting, he admired Li Ao's 6 assists in a single game.

After more than a month, the Trojans have played better together, and this newcomer, who is as young as Arenas, has done a better job.

What is Reiki? That's what it is...... Wait a minute!

Wrong! It's the opponent's player, and he admires a hammer.

He felt that he was going to suffer, as soon as the Chinese newcomer came on the field, the whole Trojan team's attack was immediately activated!

When the Wildcats attacked, Arenas continued to play singles.

He didn't believe that how could a player improve so quickly, or during the season, in just a month and a half, how could that guy's defense improve so much.

Even for a genius like him Arenas, he has not improved much in terms of personal ability in the past month or so, and his performance has been better than in the opening stage, mainly because he is more comfortable with the NCAA game and has increased his awareness of finding a position when playing without the ball.

He is only like this, how can others make so much progress.

Coincidental!

It must be a coincidence!

After building himself psychologically, Arenas regained his self-confidence and asked him to blow up Li Ao and repay Trepaganier's cake eating score just now.

And then...... He was followed by Li Ao again!

He could only continue to force his hands back...... This time it didn't feel so good, and it hit the neck of the basket with a "bang"!

The White Mamba held on to Michael Wright's rush to close the rebound.

Li Ao grabbed the number on the jersey and ran to the front court while shaking, and the fans at the scene saw this picture and booed and cursed together.

Thanks Trepagnier!

Trepaganier provoked Arenas at the beginning and consumed Arenas' best physical strength in a short period of time, so he could defend so effectively.

He thinks this is also a 'teamwork', right?

Arenas also began to use his brain, shouting at Li Ao: "Can you only pass the ball?" Do you dare to single one? ”

Li Ao replied easily: "I'm not like you, I know that I can't do it, but I have to be tough." ”

It's better not to move your brain! Find the gas! Arenas sulked his head and followed Trepagnier.

Granville continued to break through and attack, and Trepagnier continued to cut into the air.

Seeing Arenas' white level of defense, Woods had to focus on cutting Trepagnier.

Li Ao seized the opportunity to come to the right side of the three-second zone, received the ball, turned left, and shot with a hook hand that did not leave the ground......

Richard Jefferson followed very closely, but Li Ao shot the ball too quickly and didn't interfere!

It feels good, the ball hits the inside of the basket, and it falls into the frame after a wipe!

15-18, the difference narrowed to 3 points.

When it came to the Wildcats' offense, Gardner ignored Arenas' ball gestures, and if you want to be a demon, you can be a demon, what is your love.

Contrary to Gardner's expectations, Arenas did not scold and scold when he didn't get the ball as usual, and stand on his waist at random, looking like he was watching a good show.

This time, Arenas honestly went to the bottom of the 45-degree angle three-point line and stood a little lower, pulling Li Ao away.

Arenas is a 'privilege' who wants to be sprinkled and who wants to show off in the team.

But the opponent is Li Ao, the first opponent he cares about and is so hostile after entering the university, he forcibly makes himself sensible, and he can't let the other party look down on him.

Although I don't know why, Gardner is excited, and the 4v4 team is attacking!

With Arenas as a teammate, the Wildcats are also unique in terms of 4v4 team coordination.

However, the coordination did not play as smoothly as Gardner thought, and when the forward line had a clear advantage, the coordination was not very good.

Arenas played singles for a few minutes in a row, and his teammates ran well at first, but then they simply found a connection point to watch the show, at most they rushed to grab it, and the running position felt like it was exhausted.

Richard Jefferson receives the ball in front of the basket and Charles is in front of him.

He turned and took a step away, and his shot from one step inside the free throw line ...... "bang...... It smashed on the right side of the basket, and the iron was crisp.

Granville grabbed the rebound and advanced to the frontcourt, where he seized the offensive opportunity and threw a shot from close range...... Missed, Woods protected the rebound.

Although the opponent did not score, Ruter Olsen, who was sitting on the sidelines, leaned back in his chair in frustration.

This ball, that is, no further.

It looks like a brainless breakthrough shot, but it's actually a part of teamwork!

The White Mamba ran effectively to contain the position, Trepe Pagnier grasped the timing of Arenas's cut well, Li Ao looked for opportunities to shoot and respond well, Charles flanked and ate the cake position well, and Granville launched an attack with a good grasp of whether to throw or pass.

The team's offensive performance was too good!

And the top scorer in the front court, Brosenthal, is not yet on the board!

On the other hand, on the side of their Wildcats, that genius broke down the team's offense once.

This is not the first time this season that I can't count the number of times on one hand.

To fight those weak brigades, you can also rely on your personal ability.

But play the league's No. 1 Trojans......

Root Olsen wanted to ask if the manager across the street had a son, he missed Mike Bibby.

Talent, Mike Bibby is indeed not as good as Arenas, but people have good brains!

The situation on the field, as Rutte Olsen had predicted, quickly tilted in the Trojans' favor.

Trey Pagnier and Li Ao took turns provoking Arenas, successfully turning the Wildcats' offense into the strongest star singles on the inside and outside.

Gardner was keen to string the offense together, but after a few rounds, he found that their current team was not as good as having Michael Wright and Arenas take turns playing singles.

But the longer the two play alone, the less their teammates move on the offensive end, and the more spectators become.

If it's against the Golden State Bears, the Suns Devils, or even the Bruins, Arenas and Michael Wright may be able to overwhelm each other by relying on their individual abilities.

If you rely on two singles to take the lead, you can also rely on team defense to win.

But to play the Trojans......

After Arenas rested for a few rounds, his physical strength recovered in a short period of time, and he had to admit that Li Ao had made great progress, played more cautiously, and his offensive efficiency rebounded.

Michael Wright also played the white mamba with ease.

But the two of them took turns chiseling, and they could only compete with the Trojans' team offense.

When the Trojans replaced Charles with Brushenthal, the situation was completely tilted in the Trojans' favor!

At the last moment of the first half, Li Ao hit a long two-point shot, Brushenthal hit a turning hook hand, and Bai Mamba threw a three-pointer to hit a wave of 7-2 to tie the score to 51-40, successfully stretching the difference to double digits at halftime!

In those rounds, Arenas and Michael Wright both ate zero eggs, and the Wildcats only had two points from the bench Luke Wharton.

There was no break at halftime, and the two of them didn't move for the last few minutes!

In order to take advantage of the victory, the Trojans also let Granville and the White Mamba play the first half, so that the opposite side did not dare to replace the two big stars.

However, the Trojans were mainly attacking as a team, and their two stars were much less physically exerted than the two opposite stars, and they were much better in the final moments of the first half.

Looking at the score, Li Ao put his hands in his ...... If you don't have a pocket, then cross your waist.

They are stronger in terms of overall strength, they play better with the team, although they are not dominant in terms of form, they are not at a disadvantage, and their strategy execution is still in place.

Tonight, it's a win!

Looking at Arenas, who angrily threw the towel on the floor and walked into the players' tunnel, Li Ao somewhat understood why Arenas played a 48%+41% shooting percentage in his sophomore season, leading the team to the crazy three finals and winning the runner-up, only 19 years old, but he couldn't even enter the first round.

The problem is not talent, it's not ability, otherwise the Warriors wouldn't have given him that much playing time in his rookie season at Arenas, and the Warriors had Larry Hughes, a ball-handling powerhouse.

It's because the Warriors gave too much ball possession and playing time to Arenas that Larry Hughes tore his face with the Warriors who dug him out after his rookie contract ended, and followed Jordan Sr. without looking back.

If you don't agree with each other, you will go up, be conceited, and get angry for some reason...... There are so many flaws that most teams avoid them.

If Arenas, like Duncan, entered the NBA as a complete body, then no one cares no matter how bad his personality and court habits are.

But his situation, at the age of 19, has dragged him back in the draft stage.

In the second half, Rutte Olsen did not sit still, encouraging his players to launch a counterattack.

Arenas is naturally in the vanguard.

But the counterattack effect is average!

The Trojans played very steadily and insisted on playing team offense, even if the Wildcats once relied on the impact of their lives to close the point difference, the Trojans, who were already very confident and calm, also persevered, and when the momentum of the Wildcats passed, they reopened the difference.

As he fought, Arenas began to behave again.

Cause...... Li Ao is very simple on the offensive end today, scoring 6 points in the first half and only 4 points in the second half after playing two-thirds of the time, and he doesn't have the sense of déjà vu that he had to fight in the last game.
