The Trojans won 29 consecutive victories and went all the way to the round of 16, becoming the focus of the entire North American sports world!

The match between the Trojans and the House Badgers was the most watched 32-16 game, and there was no one.

Both teams are dark horses, and whoever advances represents the 'rise of the grassroots'.

The Trojans have clearly been more eye-catching than the House Badgers, who have been labelled as 'legendary' after beating the House Badgers.

The Bruins upset the Syracuse University Orange People 62-56 and advanced to the round of 16, but struggled to steal the limelight.

The Bruins have been underwhelming in recent years, and I can't say how bad they are, but it's a bit far from what people expect from this team.

The Oranges are very strong, in the past 20 years, they have entered the crazy three 18 times, and the average number of wins in these 20 years has reached 22, ranking first in the United States, but they are not a championship-level team, they play very well, but the star is not enough, and they are almost a key player who has a final decision, and this critical moment was hammered by Moiso and Capo.

The dignified 'No. 1 basketball team in the NCAA' defeated such an opponent, and it was regarded as an upset, which was completely incomparable to the Trojans.

However, the Bruins were not the worst to be ignored, and even the defending champion Connectum Husky was upset by the University of Tennessee volunteers, and the battle report was squeezed into the corner.

Li Ao's personal aspect, he took advantage of the team's 29 consecutive wins to reach the top 16, and gained another wave of popularity.

The phrase 'Sir, it's the 21st century, times have changed', and now it's on fire!

At the beginning, it was only a period of fire in Los Angeles, and it won a wave of favor from Lakers fans.

Now, Crazy March, without Li Ao himself knowing, he shouted to the college basketball world - "Times have changed!" ”

can catch this shareholder wind, also because Li Ao performed really well in the two games of Crazy Three.

Playing against the Tigers to score 30 points, if it weren't for Eddie House's individual performance in the college curtain call, it would have been sought after long ago.

Playing the College Badgers game, his performance actually only met the team's expectations, 13 points and 5 assists, but he couldn't stand up to the fact that there were too many rebounds tonight, he grabbed 9 rebounds, 13+9+5, and suddenly became the data of the top forward.

The media looked around the Trojans, and Li Ao was the most star-looking and performed well, so they chose to praise him.

By noon the next day, half of the 32-16 game had not been played, but the Trojans went to the next game first.

Not only them, but the Purdue University Steam Oven Workers, who had already advanced on another promotion route in the Western Division, also came from Tucson City in advance, and the two teams also met at Albuquerque City International Airport.

Players from both sides spray each other...... No, it was a cordial and friendly greeting to each other, some overly enthusiastic players, and also expressed their goodwill to each other with body movements, but both sides were more subtle, and their movements were very restrained, and finally expressed their best wishes to each other to enter the regional finals.

Coming out of Albuquerque City International Airport, Li Ao knew why he came here early.

The climate here is so different from Los Angeles that it takes time to get used to it.

Having played in Tucson, Arizona, he felt that the tropical desert climate was just that.

Now that he was visibly disgusted and uncomfortable, he realized that there was still a big difference between cities with desert climates.

Get out of the airport, good guys, the road is lined with real desert!

Trepagnier told him that the world's first nuclear bomb was tested in this state.

He began to worry about whether he would be able to take a shower...... However, this worry is too much, the desert is dry, but the precipitation is actually very sufficient, but the sand can't retain water.

Whenever you see a house on the side of the road, you can see water storage facilities and pumps.

When checking in at the hotel, the waiter also specially introduced that the hotel cooperates with the largest local water storage supply company to provide services such as filtered water source and 24-hour hot water supply, which is used as a hotel selling point in this area.

After arriving at the room, Li Ao took a shower as soon as possible, and the air conditioner and humidifier also adjusted the temperature and humidity in the room, and finally felt more comfortable.

After a while, a call from the assistant aunt came, and he went to the door of the hotel to receive someone.

After helping the aunt check in and helping to carry the luggage to the room, Li Ao said, "Aunt Vivian, where are we going?" ”

When Vivian heard this, she threw herself directly on the bed, swinging her limbs: "Don't go, I want to rest, I regret it, I should wait until the day of the game." ”

"You only came at that time, how can you watch the game when people are uncomfortable? Come early and get used to it. ”

Vivian thought for a moment and turned her head to look at Li Ao (^')

She said in a coaxing tone, "That makes sense, but I'm so uncomfortable right now, I want to get some sleep, okay?" ”

"Okay, then you have a good rest, I'll go back to my room and play games, you come over and lock the door, lock the windows, and close the curtains."

The tone revealed a little dissatisfaction, but Li Ao's footsteps moved quickly.

Vivian didn't react, and Li Ao disappeared in a flash after finishing speaking.

(o)？

Vivien felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it, and after locking the doors and windows, she came to the bed again and lay down, feeling a little uncomfortable, turned over, comfortable, and soon fell asleep.

Li Ao returned to the room and immediately collapsed on the bed to watch TV, he was ready to endure the discomfort and accompany him to the desert-style shopping street, it was not that he didn't go, it was the aunt who refused to do so.

…

If you are uncomfortable, you will be sleepy, Li Ao will be dazed, and it will be evening, and the discomfort will be almost relieved.

I called the assistant aunt with a hallokitty-shaped mobile phone, and the other party asked him to order food and send it back, but he didn't want to get up yet.

Li Ao came to the hotel restaurant, and the assistant aunt must have to eat delicious, so he ordered several signature dishes at the suggestion of the waiter and gave him a room, which was extravagant.

As he left the restaurant, he met the Steamer Workers again.

In the face of a group of people on the other side, he was full of kindness and gave the other party a friendly look.

There was a warm desire to have a more intimate and friendly interaction with him on the other side, but he was pulled by the person next to him.

Everyone is a college student, so be subtle.

Legend has it that the Trojans, a Chinese student, were a great benevolent man.

Back in the room, Li Ao thought of the steam workers he had just met, and felt very regretful.

Today, the sports news is praising him, and the opposite of him is Arenas, who has been ridiculed by the crowd for a day.

Last night, a dozen minutes before the Trojans defeated the College Badgers, the Wildcats were beaten 58-84 by the Steam Oven Workers.

Li Ao regretted this and lost the opportunity to play against Arenas in the 8-in-4 game.

In the game of the crazy three, the Wildcats may be able to rub equipment or skills from this No. 0.

But Arenas was ridiculed by the crowd, and he felt that it was as it should be.

5 of 20 shots, crazy throwing betting balloons, 7 three-point shots in a single game.

The camera even caught Wildcats head coach Rute Olsen yelling "Stop shooting threes."

As a result, Arenas smashed the ball to the rim directly outside the three-point line for the next two rounds.

The Wildcats lost so badly, ninety percent of the blame fell on Arenas.

Li Ao is not too surprised by this, this is Agent 0, who is the same wave in the NBA playoffs, and will be angry at the same time, no matter what the occasion.

And when Arenas reaches the knockout round, he suddenly becomes less tough than in the regular season, and he often makes the stupidest choice when he encounters opponents who can't be beaten.

It seems to be 'as long as the heart is enough', but in fact, it has nothing to do with toughness, just doing some unreasonable things, commonly known as brainlessness.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the waiter delivered the meal to Li Ao's room, and he made a phone call to call the assistant aunt over to have dinner together and watch the live TV broadcast paid by the NCAA official of the hotel provider.

The live game is tonight's match between the University of Texas Austin President's Horns and Louisiana State University Tigers at Memorial Stadium.

The winner of these two teams will be the opponent of the Trojans in their next game.

If it weren't for the fact that he needed to adapt to the game in advance to play in this city, Li Ao also planned to go to the scene to watch this game.

It's actually good to watch the live broadcast, although there is no atmosphere of watching the game live, but the perspective of the live broadcast is more intuitive to look at the tactical running position or something.

The game was not as ...... as expected. Intense? It's not right, the score is quite intense, but both teams play quite singlely, like a real-turn system where you come and I play.

Li Ao found that the strength of the 8 teams in their promotion branch was really uneven......

In the end, the Tigers defeated the Longhorns 76-69.

The Trojans' 16-8 opponent is out - Louisiana State University vs. Tigers.

The match between these two teams is the latest to start today, and they finish it to represent the final 16 of this year's crazy three sweets.

Li Ao didn't expect that in the top 16 of the sweet league, the same league team, except for them, the rest was actually the brown bear team in the same city!

The Cardinals lost 48-55 to the Spartans, and similar to the Orange People, the Cardinals have a high ceiling, but the ceiling is not much higher than the floor.

After watching the game, Vivian and Li Ao chatted for a while about the opponent the day after tomorrow, and then went back to her room to continue sleeping.

Li Ao is also ready to rest, and resting well and reducing the physical impact caused by climate problems is also a key part of preparing for the fight.

That's when the quest hint came!

"The sweet moment has come to an end, stronger opponents have arrived, and the road to the elite lies ahead...... Mission: Become an elite trigger. ”

"Become an Elite:

Goal: The host needs to lead the team to the elite quarterfinals.

Rewards: 3,000 achievement points, 1 silver equipment upgrade card, 1 level 3 skill upgrade card. ”

It's a mission again!

3000 achievement points, good, equipment upgrade card, the reward I saw for the first time, the only equipment that can be upgraded to the silver level is the experience bracelet, but upgrading this is a good choice, and the all-round training efficiency bonus is naturally higher and higher.

Level 3 Skill Upgrade Card...... He doesn't really want to be promoted to 'transit specialist'.

After reading more than 27,000 achievement points...... Pump him!

This time the purpose is very clear, he has two level 2 skill upgrade card fragments, and he will stop when he draws one.

After the first flash of white light, a firework was placed on the system screen, and Li Ao's expression-

(￣(∞)￣)

"Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: 1 level 3 skill upgrade card fragment."

At this time, he didn't know whether to be happy or scold.

It's all fireworks, this must be a rare reward for drawing a primary lottery, just as rare as drawing an attribute point before.

But this is so difficult to draw, which means how difficult it is to get together three shards!

With mixed feelings, he started the second draw......

"Congratulations to the host for the reward: a healthy humidor.

Healthy Cigar Box: Cigars placed in this box will avoid harm to the body without affecting the taste, and this effect is only valid for the host. ”

Why do you eat 15 yuan takeaway, do you still care about your health?

But it's not useless.

Li Ao knew that when he was still studying, he didn't have any big troubles.

But when you enter the society, the adult world, everything becomes different.

Then he drew a fishing rod, a complete set of barbecue dishes, and finally, when it came to the 5th draw, he drew a fragment of a level 2 skill upgrade card.

"Sure enough, you should bring a white lottery robe, and you should bathe for at least 30 minutes......"

Li Ao wailed, and the 5,000 achievement points were gone.

Grieving for 3 seconds, he looked at his 5 level 1 skills.

'The pride of the champion', this is useless for the time being, they are now winning 29 in a row, and they are like a rainbow, and they will not be afraid of anyone they meet.

As for the streak to break the confidence set...... If you break it, you're out, not to mention it.

'Perfect warm-up', this one he really wants to upgrade.

However, from the perspective of the effect of level 1, the first pitcher is actually secondary, and the main role is to have a complete and effective warm-up process against it.

At present, it is enough to look at level 1, although I want to upgrade, but it is not a priority upgrade object.

The remaining three, 'Suspended', 'Heavy Pressure', and 'Siege', are all useful.

'Aborted' is related to the pull-up jump shot and the stop-and-catch jumper, and the other two, 'heavy pressure' is a single defense, and 'siege' is a team defense.

After analyzing it, he finally chose to improve the attack!

When a better team defense is needed, with Shelby Jordan to help and defend him against the pitcher, he's already strong and has a reputation for being strong.

No longer hesitating, Li Ao issued an order, and the upgrade prompt came.

"The host uses the level 2 skill upgrade card, upgrade object: abort, congratulations on the host abortive upgrade from level 1 to level 2."

"Abort Level 2: When making a stop-and-go jump shot or a stop-and-catch shot in the mid-range range, +3 for the basic skills of the stop, +3 for the stop-and-shoot skills, to reduce the impact of the shot caused by the stop."

Looking at the upgraded bonus effect, Li Ao felt that he had chosen the right one!

His emergency stop basic skill is already 67, and he can come to 70 after the bonus!

After entering the crazy three, he really felt how the right choice was to stop the development.

It's a pity that it's not a hard bonus, on the defensive end, emergency stops are also very useful abilities, which can make him better in defensive details, such as reducing the probability of fouls in the pounce.

Seeing that there were only more than 22,000 achievement points left, he brushed his teeth, washed his face, lay down and covered the quilt, and slept, not being a gambling dog.

…

22nd, off-season.

Li Ao came to the Energy Solutions Arena with the team to prepare for the game.

Coming a day earlier, everyone has somewhat adapted to the local environment.

Li Ao looked at the signboard of the stadium and felt very interesting.

The NBA's energy solution arena is in a city that is too cold to work, but this energy solution arena is in the desert.

During training, Li Ao could still feel a little more irritable than usual.

If the air is too dry or too wet, you will feel irritable when you work, but you have no choice but to adapt.

Today I only practiced in the morning, and in the afternoon the coaching staff let the players continue to rest.

The most urgent issue to be solved in this preparation is the issue of environmental adaptation.

However, they have an advantage, and the Tigers only came from Los Angeles at noon today.

There is still some benefit to having a good record and beating a team with a better record, and they are the Trojans in the former, first in the division; The Steamer Workers were the latter, beating second in the division.

The opponent of the Steam Oven Workers also came from Tucson City today.

Returning to the hotel at noon, Li Ao had just returned to the room, and after a while, there was a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw the assistant aunt who was about to cry hungry.

|TωT｀)

The assistant aunt pitifully leaned on the door frame.

Li Ao called to order food to be delivered to his room, and an hour later, the well-fed aunt sighed: "Finally alive!" ”

Li Ao complained: "I'm hungry and don't know how to eat by myself? ”

"I don't want to move, I don't know what to order when I call, looking at your face, I just have a little appetite."

Li Ao looked at the empty plate......

()

He came back after a nutritious meal, and he didn't eat much just now, several dishes and a plate of pasta...... Is this called a slight appetite?

I can't afford to raise it.

After digesting it for a while, Vivien suddenly thought of one thing, and Knock Knock ran back to her room, and Knock Knock ran back again, holding a box.

"It's ...... PS-2？ Oh, Aunt Vivian, you went to rob Sony's headquarters? Isn't it only on sale in the second half of the year? ”

"You're just going to rob ...... Hee-hee, when I went back to San Francisco before, my family received an invitation from a game company, I went to participate, applied for a test spot, just sent it to me yesterday, I was going to give it to you last night, but I was too tired to forget. ”

"Aunt Vivien, I love you so much!"

Li Ao grabbed the box and quickly opened it.

It's the same as the legend, it's much smaller than the PS generation, and it doesn't take up space for the suitcase.

Liam has a PS game console, and originally wanted to give one to Li Ao, but he didn't ask for it.

It cost almost 500 US dollars in his hand, and he exchanged it for more than 4,000 soft sister coins, and he was reluctant to buy it at that time, and he couldn't accept such an expensive gift.

Liam could only buy one and put it in the car speechlessly, and occasionally take it upstairs from the car when he wanted to play a PS game with him.

Previously, he had planned to play away from Liam's game console, but it was too dominant and he eventually gave up.

PS2 is coming out soon, Li Ao has an extra basketball scholarship, but he plans to buy one, but it hasn't been released yet, and now he can't be happy to get the test machine.

The PS2 box also comes with an accompanying game, Ridge Racing 5, which he played in the previous generation, a racing game with a simple gameplay.

After plugging the game console into the TV, Li Ao suddenly thought of something and wanted to pay for it...... But this testing machine, the assistant aunt doesn't seem to spend money.

Yes, then take it, if there is any good thing in the future, just bring it to the hospital to help the aunt.

Play the game!

Vivian was also happy to see Li Ao so happy, but at the same time she was a little speechless, and complained: "You are more interested in game consoles than in love." ”

"This kind of thing is in love, it is natural to meet the right person, chasing girls, the game is not fun or what, and I am not short of people to chase."

There are 600 monthly passes in the evening, and it is estimated that the update will be written around 10 o'clock
