Li Ao didn't take the words of the two at ease.

Maybe the two are interested in the so-called 'purest' college basketball, and they usually watch games, but he doesn't believe that in the minds of these two, a group of players who can't play professionally will be as good as they praise, and they are just polite.

However, seeing the excited appearance of his teammates, he did not pour cold water.

People need encouragement.

It is always said that it is good to have a friend who can splash cold water.

Li Ao hopes that the person who said this sentence will be surrounded by friends who pour cold water, and hope that all the good things will be taken up by this person and not left to others.

The Trojans were so excited that they couldn't do it, and the Sun Demon players on the opposite side were not so happy and sour......

This is the home court of the Trojans, and the Lakers players naturally don't run to the opposite side to encourage a wave, and the mood of the local fans is much more important than the love and hate of a dozen people on the opposite side.

But what Li Ao didn't expect was that what the two of them said to him was really not pure politeness.

Although they habitually lose each other, the goal of the two is the same - the championship.

The general direction is the same, and there is no problem on the court.

After O'Neal returned to the sideline and sat down, he asked Kobe: "That Chinese boy, is it really that good?" I praised him, and if he wasn't that good, I would have been laughed at. ”

"You can see it after watching the game, his style of play is very mature and he is improving very quickly, maybe he will be better than Rick in the NBA after a year or two in college."

"I think Rick can play for a few more years, so there's no need to rush it."

Rick Fox: ('_)

Why am I next to you, can I talk about these things behind my back?

However, when the logo man asked Kobe Bryant to study Li Ao's video together, he also found him together.

The civilian team Trojans, in the eyes of fans, are the relatively dazzling players are Granwell, who averages 9.7 assists per game, and ranks first in the NCAA Division I league assists list, Bai Mamba, a top pitcher who averages 19 points per game, or Shelby Jordan, who has a perverse personality.

But in the eyes of professionals like Rick Fox, Li Ao, who has practiced for less than half a year, is the one with the most amazing performance.

In the entire Trojan team, only Li Ao has a bright future as a professional player in his eyes.

He is 30 years old, and most of the professional players have reached the stage of retirement at this age, and some people are still in the pit at the age of thirty-four or five, and there are only a handful of NBA players, and forty or fifty newcomers join the NBA every year.

As one of the Lakers' tactical cores, he can understand the team's idea of starting to find a replacement, and he even readily accepts to help the team find his successor.

It's just that high school students are just difficult to get along with, don't step on him in front of him, okay?

It's still good to be fat, and it's good to speak.

…

At 7 p.m., the Trojans' home game against the Sun Demons kicked off.

The brightest star on the pitch tonight is still Eddie House.

In 16 games, he averaged 27.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal per game, and scored 40+ 3 times in 16 games.

When the Sun Demons played against the Cardinals at home, they relied on Eddie House's crazy scoring and played a double overtime, Eddie House scored 61 points in a single game, setting a new single-game scoring record in the PAC10 League, leading the team to an upset, and defeating the Cardinals by two points.

10 three-point hits in a single game, also set a single-game three-point shooting record in the PAC10 League, and his personal performance is unique in the PAC10 League.

But the strength of the Suns Devils 8-8 is not enough in front of the Trojans.

Not a good teammate limits Eddie House's ability to raise the ceiling as a college basketball superscorer.

In tonight's game, we can see some gaps in talent, the last time Li Ao played against Eddie House, he had to rely on various small actions to give Eddie House, who has consumed a lot of physical strength, some restrictions, and still can't prevent it.

After Li Ao came off the bench tonight, Eddie House's hot start to the game dropped significantly.

Although Li Ao didn't guard against Eddie House, at least it allowed Eddie House to return to normal performance.

By the end of the regional battle stage, the Suns Devils' winning strategy was basically to rely on Eddie House to lead the whole team, and his average points per game also soared from 23 points per game in the first round of 9 games to 27.5 points.

When encountering opponents such as Li Ao and Richard Jefferson, who have enough speed, good pursuit and defensive awareness, and have a huge body advantage, Eddie House will not be able to soar.

Although Eddie House was able to open up the space completely, more than the No. 0 at another school in Arizona, his teammates' 4-on-4 ability was several notches worse than the Wildcats' side.

On the contrary, Li Ao scored quite well tonight, shooting 6 of 11, there was a counterattack throw and was fouled and hit both free throws, and a rebound caused the opponent to foul and hit both free throws, but unfortunately there was a 1+1 opportunity after the opponent's fouls reached 7 times, and the first free throw was iron.

After playing 27 minutes, Li Ao scored 16 points, 3 boards, 4 assists and 1 steal, scoring exactly twice as much as he did in the last time he played against the Sun Demons.

Granville had 13 points and seven assists tonight, White Mamba 22, Brushenthal 11 points and 11 boards, Trepagnier 13 points, and Evanisco 11 points and seven boards......

In the end, despite Eddie House's game-high 24 points, the Trojans still defeated the Sun Demons 92-78, winning 17 in a row!

"All wins!" "Victory!" "Victory! ”

The same cry sounded again at the Memorial Stadium after a week!

And roar more confidently and louder!

Kobe Bryant, the onlooker, was so excited that he wanted to go up and replace Eddie House to see if he could chisel through the other side on his own.

But when he thought about it, it was not bad to go to the opposite Trojans, and it was his favorite style of play to chisel through the opponent by himself, but team basketball was what he longed for.

He sometimes regrets not going to Duke back then, and now he thinks about it again.

The teamwork there is not worse than the Trojans, right?

If he had chosen to go to college, he would have been a senior now, and he might have been able to meet this 'civilian dark horse' in the crazy three.

It's a shame to think about.

…

17 wins in a row!

Once again, the Trojans have captured the attention of basketball fans across the United States.

This time is different from the last time when they relied on the Bruins' 'Bear Fever', they relied on their own efforts and achievements to win attention.

Whether there will be a complete regional win record this season depends on the final game of the Trojans and Cardinals.

Promoted by the NCAA official, this game has become the most watched game in the regional stage of the season, and the fans are even hotter than the previous North Carolina Wolves and Duke Blue Devils battle.

Who doesn't love a 'dark horse', just like the other eight teams in the PAC10 league, even the Bruins, have a lot of fans who want to see the Cardinals get taken out by the Trojans.

In the eyes of Bruins fans, if everyone loses to the Trojans, it's not their cup of tea, it's that this team is too good this year.

As for the whole win in the region, it's not like they haven't done it before, and they have done it all.

For other people, when they see a dark horse appear, they will think of themselves - since there are 'dark horses' in the world, will I also become a dark horse one day?

For a while, it seemed that the entire North American sports world hoped that the Trojans could win and continue to be black.

Some media ridiculed that the Cardinals' home game against the Trojans was a preferential treatment given to the Cardinals by the NCAA, allowing them to have an easy finale of the division.

Unexpectedly, now the role played by the Cardinals has become that of the Trojans, the dark horse rushing to the great obstacles.

Such a heat, such a scene, beyond Li Ao's imagination, his mood is quite complicated.

When will we have such a grand sports scene in the sports world?

Instead of getting back the right to host a large-scale event to show national strength, and creating an illusory 'national sports tide', the towns and villages repaired some face projects, and finally the event ended, the newly repaired venues were abandoned, and the newly repaired basketball courts and football fields became places for aunts to dance square dances.

He once saw a saying - everyone went to sports, what should I do when I study? What about scientific research?

He used to think so, but now he's starting to doubt it.

Renying sauce sports are doing so well, and it has not affected learning and scientific research.

For most people, sports are a hobby, a dream, and even a spiritual sustenance.

I don't say that I like sports and sports, so I don't eat, study, or work.

After a little melancholy, he didn't put his mind on it again.

He is a flat-headed ordinary person, and he has to talk about those things in his turn.

He focused his attention on the most important thing at the moment – the final match of the division.

He greatly underestimated the importance of sports in the school, yesterday at home against the Sun Demons, according to the rules, today Monday, after the morning break, the afternoon should be class, tomorrow after the morning class, and then set off for the away game in the afternoon.

But the principal ordered them to prepare for the game on Monday and Tuesday.

Such an arrangement, the Trojans players are naturally happy.

The preparations went smoothly, and the cardinals' tactics had not changed much after so many years.

From coaching the Montana Grizzlies in the '78-79 season to now coaching the Cardinals, Mike Montgomery has pursued the concept of mature older players and teamwork first, throughout which he has won more than 500 games in more than 20 years, winning 256 games every season.

With such an opponent, the Trojans are preparing for a very clear direction.

A No. 0 player asked the middle-aged man: "What if the opponent breaks out and plays an unexpected performance?" ”

The middle-aged replied: "Instead of worrying about them breaking out, it's better to worry that we are not in a good state." ”

A certain 0: "Makes sense!" ”

On Tuesday afternoon, the Trojans, who had spent a day and a half preparing for the game, left Los Angeles for San Jose, the capital of Santa Clara County in the Southern Bay Area.

Although Stanford University is in the city of Palo Alto, they use a gymnasium on the outskirts of the city of San Jose next door.

However, although it is said to be in two cities, Stanford University is only 20 miles or 32 kilometers from the venue, and if you take into account the traffic jams, the Bruins may take more time to travel from UCLA to Poly Arena than the Cardinals to travel from the school to the arena in the next city.

After staying at a hotel near the competition venue, Li Ao was pulled out by Vivian and Liam, who came to San Jose together, to 'step on the spot'.

In the final battle with all the goals won, the two naturally want to join in the fun.

A few minutes away, the trio arrived at tomorrow's venue.

The San Jose Arena, the gymnasium used by Stanford University, is very special, and the appearance gives Li Ao the feeling of being an antique.

The three of them went to visit the competition venue and the museum.

From the literature in the Bogu Pavilion, Li Ao has some understanding of this arena.

Dating back to the Eagle-banded colonial period, the arena takes its name from the San José, the largest merchant ship of King Philip V of Spain in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, and is more of a dirty ship than a merchant ship.

At that time, Spain was still called the Spanish Empire, and the ship was loaded with gold and jade plundered from the Americas, and in 1708, the eagle sank the dirty ship laden with stolen goods in the Caribbean Sea, which was seen as a symbol of the eagle's replacement of the Spanish colonial ruler at sea.

In the mid-18th century, a group of eagle merchants established a trade area here, the San Jose Trade Chamber of Commerce, the city's predecessor, and during the same period, the eagle established the modern football standard, setting off the world's first wave of football, and the merchants who did business here funded the construction of a football field, named San Jose Arena.

But it didn't take long for Eagle Sauce to become independent, driving the Eagle away, and this football stadium was also banned and converted into a boxing ring...... After more than 100 years, the Führer set off a basketball fever, and the San Jose Arena became the first batch of large basketball courts, and after many years, the owner of this gymnasium became the Eagles again, and when it was rebuilt, it originally wanted to build a football field, but when it was rebuilt, it did not find a team willing to settle in, and finally could only build a basketball court and an ice hockey rink, which became the current comprehensive gymnasium.

After reading the introduction, Li Ao sympathized with the eagle man and sighed: "After all, there is a fly in the ointment." ”

Liam asked, "Leo, what are you talking about that we don't understand?" ”

"It's okay, I just sighed, this gymnasium was established earlier than the eagle sauce."

Vivien said, "If you're interested, I'll take you to the old San Jose Arena site when the season is over, which is the main building of this museum, and everything here is a replica." ”

"Good ......"

Li Ao is very interested in visiting various museums and exhibition halls, but in Yingjiang's house, it is worth seeing, only the cultural relics that Yingjiang snatched back from everywhere have the value of seeing.

A museum of Eagle Sauce indigenous culture...... You can take a look at it when you have time.

Back at the hotel in the evening, physiotherapist Jack and his girlfriend prepared a nutritious meal for Li Ao.

Li Ao asked curiously, "You actually make nutritious meals?" ”

"It's just the work of a physiotherapist, it's not enough to support the family, so I spent money to learn this last year."

Li Ao understood: "Life is not easy, versatile. ”

The next day, February 17th, the last day of the PAC10 League's regional battle stage, arrived!
