Li Ao is currently a sophomore and has two years left to play in the NCAA, so there is nothing wrong with it.

Justin Jones's expectations for Li Ao have been set very high, but Li Ao's opening two goals still made his eyes shine.

Mainly for the second attack, the ball did not pass through Li Ao's hands, but Li Ao still played a role in responding.

He has always felt that Duncan's ability to respond is not weaker than Garnett, Garnett's assists are higher and he can organize the offense alone at a certain moment, but Garnett's playmaking should organize the offense with the ball, and the strategy without the ball will not be better than Duncan.

After two more years of training, he believes that it is not a big problem not to mention another Duncan, enter the NBA, and have a full level of strategy ability and a first-class level of defense or above.

It's just that...... The Trojans are rumored to be the most well-coordinated team this year, and he watched two rounds, which is not overly boastful.

But he felt that the teammates around Li Ao were not very worthy of Li Ao's ability to respond.

In the second round, there was obviously more variation in the offense and better shooting opportunities, but due to the strength, the teammates couldn't do it.

This is an obstacle to the continued development of Li Ao's response ability, and it is an unsolvable problem.

The Trojans are already at the top of the university, with a team of the strongest teams.

It's not that his teammates aren't good enough, it's that the genius's talent for playmaking is higher than what college basketball demands.

He doesn't really care about Swift and the White Mamba, the Grizzlies are a strong contender for the No. 1 pick, and if he gets the No. 1 pick, he suggests selecting Kenyon Martin.

The physicality of Kenyon Martin is a drop off Swift, but the former beats the latter.

And the white mamba...... Such a player, if he can still have a stable three-point hand in the NBA, is useful for strong teams, and maybe he can become a fixed rotation, but it is useless for a bottom-of-the-line team like the Grizzlies.

On the pitch, the two teams began a round-by-round attack.

can play to the Sweet Round of 16, although the Tigers have a single style of play, but the strength is enough, and the strength is still good, which is a notch stronger than the Tigers encountered by the Trojans in the first round, but the strength of the top 32 is much weaker than the College Badgers encountered by the Trojans in the second round.

In the opening game, the Tigers relied on Swift's impact and Jabari Smith's strategy, and the offensive efficiency was good, scoring 9 points in less than 5 minutes.

But the Trojans firmly held the initiative!

Henry Bibie's strategy tonight – go head-to-head!

There is no need to use extra brains, and the offensive and defensive play of the Tigers is dealt with head-on.

At the beginning, they showed that their strength was obviously stronger than that of their opponents.

Coupled with Swift's excessive defense of Li Ao, the Trojans easily scored 14 points in less than 5 minutes.

Henry Bibby even saw Li Ao counter-attack against Swift on the defensive end, which was obviously not a good choice, but he didn't stop it.

Young people, it's normal to be impulsive.

But he wasn't extra tolerant of that kid, yes, absolutely not.

There will definitely be stronger opponents and stronger stars in the future, and it is necessary to practice targeted pinching.

The difference came to 5 points, and the Tigers called a timeout.

The commentator predicts that the Tigers will strengthen their teamwork, and they will obviously not be the opponent of the Trojans' team attack.

But after returning from the timeout, the Tigers didn't change anything other than replace Brian Beshara with Ronald Duprie, who was the 69th All-American high school student in '99, for the faster Ronald Duprie.

The style of play is still the same, blocking and attacking, Torres Bright bursts into the ball after disconnecting, and Jabari Smith responds or cuts into the receiving frame.

He was able to score, but the timeout did not bring a substantial improvement to the offense or defense, and the opposite Trojans held the lead steadily.

As a result, the head coach of the War Tigers was sprayed by the commentator.

John Brady is desperate too!

His strongest player has almost no sense of teamwork, and Swift's current counter-run, cutting in after flanking cover, and hitting counterattacks to find a suitable impact line have been patiently taught by him for a year last year, and Swift can only play these attacks this year, it's really not that he doesn't want to play coordination.

Playing like this now, you can guarantee the score and play the team...... However, he has already accepted his fate, he should call for a pause, and if he should be replaced, if the player breaks out, it is naturally very good, no, then there is no one.

Toward the end of the first half, the Trojans had a nine-point lead, 53-44.

Li Ao played 8 minutes in the opening game, and after a 5-minute break in the middle, he played more than 5 minutes on the court, scoring 5 points, 3 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and the steals and blocks were all won on Swift.

Swift's brain circuit is exceptionally clear, and after he was capped, he was not stupid enough to say that he couldn't notice Li Ao targeting him.

But in the face of such a target, not only was he not afraid, but his body was shocked, and he constantly ran back to cut into the impact.

When the opponent targets him, he crushes the opponent's flank attack with a more violent impact.

That's how he can show his dominance as a shark in the front!

However, he calls himself 'Frontline Shark' and others are willing to call him this because the real big shark came out of this school, and he can be the king in the southeast division, but he is crazy three......

So, on Swift, Li Ao got 1 steal and 2 blocks, Shelby Jordan who came off the bench got 1 steal, and Granville got 1 steal.

If Swift didn't have the 'awareness of being a shark' for some reason, the Tigers would have been able to narrow the gap to a smaller margin, instead of being beaten by the Trojans.

It's time for the Trojans to attack again, as they look to take a double-digit lead at the end of the first half.

Li Ao ran to answer.

He's being targeted by Swift again.

Li Ao pursed his lips, ready to find another chance in the second half, two of the three goals of the 'fishing master' have been completed, but the gap has not had a chance.

He tried it once before, and was given a big hat in return by Swift.

In the case of confrontation and facing the bottom line, the quasi-list eye turned around and directly strengthened in the confrontation, cutting his middle into the slam and flying.

He is too physical, and as an interior lineman, Swift moves short distances faster than he can on the outside.

Li Ao ran around the perimeter, pinning down the defense, and when he came to the free throw line, Swift on the left side of the three-second zone stepped into the three-second zone, ready to block Li Ao's cut at any time.

Shelby Jordan took the opportunity to help Sam Clancy block the defender, and Sam Clancy cut in to receive Nate Hale and threw a close-range shot......

The opportunity was good, but unfortunately it missed a point and hit the basket neck and bounced high.

Sam Clancy knew that the ball was deflected when he saw it, and immediately pressed it after landing, and jumped up next to Brad Bridgewater, the substitute center on the opposite side, and made a basket......

Brad Bridgewater, 208 cm, averaging 4.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.6 blocks per game, is a decent white center.

He didn't get in the way of Sam Clancy without getting in his position early.

Unfortunately, Sam Clancy's rebound was also too strong, and the ball hit the neck of the basket again and bounced again.

Instead of being discouraged, Sam Clancy was so excited that he jumped again...... Got stuck.

Swift took in and clamped Sam Clancy with Bridgewater, who struggled to jump and couldn't jump...... Wait, why is there an extra hand on it?

The two inside lines who were holding Sam Clancy also saw that hand, and without giving them a chance to think about what was going on, the three people huddled together were knocked together and threw themselves half a step forward.

The three of them scolded out of Vake at the same time, stood firm and turned around, and saw the picture of Li Ao falling from the sky.

The screams and cheers were deafening!

Li Ao's next person is buckled! And three people apart!

Watching Li Ao compare his sword fingers with his right hand and make a flying kiss motion, the three of them were very angry.

The difference is that Sam Clancy is sad and angry - this bastard even dunks his teammates! I really can't get along!

…

Li Ao's split dunk helped the Trojans enter the second half with an 11-point lead.

The effect of that slam dunk was not only to stretch the margin to two points, but also to sound the clarion call for the Trojans to charge.

In the second half, in the absence of Li Ao and Bai Mamba, Granville, Trepagnier, Shelby Jordan, Sam Clancy, and Charles opened the game with a wave of 11-6, stretching the difference to 16 points.

By the middle of the second half, the difference was once stretched to 21 points, but as Li Ao left the court with 5 fouls, the Trojans tightened their offensive and sent a combination of Nate Hale, Trepagnier, Malaji Thurston, Shelby Jordan, and Evanisco.

At this time, the War Tigers also began to fight back, playing with their lives.

However, the Trojans lineup, the defense line, the speed is very slow, in more than 8 minutes, although they only scored 9 points, but the opposite side only scored 13 points.

At 8:53 p.m., the final whistle blew.

92-75, the Trojans defeated the Tigers by 17 points and won the elite quarterfinals!

The cheers of the fans reached a climax again, and at half-time, they were already confident that their team could win the game, but when they did win, and when they reached the quarterfinals, the joy was indescribable, and could only be expressed by cheers.

After venting his emotions, the Energy Solutions Arena also sounded the cry of "We want to be champions"!

Li Ao tried to control his pace and not follow 'Little Lambir' around the field...... But I still couldn't hold back.

He happily walked around the court with open arms and shouted "We want to be champions"!

…

"Even buy ga, Leo, you're so handsome! Look at your buckle, three people, even buy Karma puppet buy Karma ......"

"That Swift said it was just a kid's game, he was waiting in the NBA, hum, Leo you go to the NBA to kill him!"

"That Swift is so annoying, our varsity reporter interviewed him, and he cursed! The main thing is to scold you! Leo, why didn't your coach let you go to the interview, your mouth will definitely make him angry! ”

“……”

“……”

When I returned to the hotel, I was pulled into her room by Aunt Yard Assistant, and then Aunt Yard Assistant's mouth was like a machine gun, and it never stopped.

At first, Li Ao responded to two sentences, but later found that the other party was so excited that he didn't care what he answered, before he came back, the assistant aunt who returned to the hotel after the game had already brushed the news on the Internet and TV, and now it was the stage to express her inner joy and complain about her dissatisfaction.

So Li Ao said 'uh-huh', "Auntie is right", "uh-huh...... while watching tonight's harvest.

11 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 4 blocks, 2 turnovers and 5 fouls, with 265 achievement points.

In the second half, he brushed 1 steal and 1 block on the quasi-list, and the price he paid was 3 fouls in the half.

However, at that time, they had basically locked up the victory, and he began to ignore the quasi-list.

And this was praised after the game, and he was hatted by the opponent in the first half, which was called a bloody one, and a slap flew the fan to the other side of the center circle.

It's definitely going to have to get back on the field.

No matter how he got it back, he capped Swift three times and dunked once in a single game, and it looked like he had won.

All 3 missions tonight have been completed.

"Become an Elite:

The host has led the team to win the elite top eight places, congratulations to the host for receiving rewards: 3000 achievement points, 1 level 3 skill upgrade card, and 1 silver equipment upgrade card. ”

"Thirty only:

The host has led the team to 30 consecutive victories, congratulations to the host for receiving rewards: 1000 achievement points, 1 level 2 skill upgrade card fragment. ”

"Fishing Master:

The host completed 3 blocks, 2 steals, and 1 dunk against Stromeyer-Swift, and congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 2000 achievement points.

The host completes all the objectives and congratulates the host on receiving the reward: 1 bounce attribute point.

Congratulations to the host for increasing their bounce from 79 to 80 and their speed from 83 to 84. ”

The rewards for the last two tasks are really small, and the attribute points are very good, but the difficulty is high, that is, when you encounter the quasi-list eye of the head iron, you can't complete it if you change your estimates.

'Become an elite' can have such a rich reward, Li Ao estimates that it is purely because it is about the task of the elite quarterfinals.

The Tigers are indeed not worthy of the position of the top 16 of the sweet, they are really lucky, and they will meet the weak team in the second round.

Regardless of this, it's good to get the reward!

Bounce to an excellent level! The bullet speed is also almost lost to the first-class!

This is the only physical quality he has that has more explosive ability than his basic ability.

Getting 4,000 achievement points can be regarded as making up for the 5,000 points used up by drawing shards before.

He regretted it a little, he knew that today would trigger a task to get a level 2 shard, so he wouldn't draw it that day.

Today's task was completed quite easily, and it was necessary to detain Swift, which cost him a lot of brain cells, but those brain cells were in vain, and it was Sam Clancy who helped him create a dunk opportunity.

What a teammate!

But this teammate ignored his thanks after the game and snorted at him, his expression was stinky.

The task of 'fishing master' reminded Li Ao of the big shark in the same city team.

Not to mention, Swift's self-proclaimed forward shark has not been ridiculed yet, at least in college, purely by physical fitness, it is a first-class performance.

Although Swift was broken several times by the cap, the final data was still good, with 14 points, 9 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 blocks, and his physical fitness was simply amazing.

Last year's No. 1 rookie Elton Brand rookie contract was 4 years 14.93 million US dollars, and the top star Steve Francis was 4 years 13.81 million US dollars, which means that this product does not need to use any brains at all, there is a salary of close to 15 million US dollars waiting for him to get, and maybe there are teams willing to gamble on a contract after the rookie contract ends.

Li Ao is very curious now, and he doesn't know if it was the unlucky Grizzlies who chose him.

Li Ao opened the props section, which contained two new props and two cards.

I used it!

"The host uses a silver-level equipment upgrade card, use the object: experience bracelet, congratulations to the host, equipment: experience bracelet has been upgraded from white to silver."

"Experience Bracelet (Silver): When the host conducts various basketball basic skills or technical training, he will get a 15% bonus to the training results."

"The host uses a level 3 skill upgrade card, use it: abort, congratulations to the host, skill: abort is upgraded from level 2 to level 3."

"Stop Level 3: +3 for the basic skills of the emergency stop and +3 for the emergency stop technique when making a jump shot or an emergency stop catch-and-shoot in the middle range range; After the successful completion of the emergency stop, when shooting, the core strength of the host's body is controlled and the shooting power is slightly improved. ”

From 5% to 15% in all directions, it is higher than Li Ao expected!

'Abort' is a powerful skill in the pull-up jump shot, which is in line with the offensive technique he will strengthen next, and it is a perfect match, thanks to the general!

However, the happiest harvest for Li Ao tonight was that the mid-pitch reached 83, and the lateral movement broke through to 85, reaching the first-class level.

Actual combat is really important!

…

30 wins in a row!

The Trojans have brought together the eyes of the entire North American sporting world.

When the TV hosts reported on them, they were all exclaiming - the Trojans are going all the way to the championship!

And if they really win the championship, it will be another team to win the championship after more than 20 years!

From being predicted to be on the edge of the crazy three before the season, to now winning 30 consecutive games to reach the elite quarterfinals, the term 'legendary' has been more and more recognized.

With the growing popularity of the Trojans, Li Ao has once again become the focus - the picture of him separating the three of them has gone viral on the Internet.

There is no way to choose him, the media really didn't deliberately kill him, but the Trojans players, and the style of play can be called exciting, just Sam Clancy, no one else.

Li Ao, who is handsome and has a highlight performance, is used as a cover every time, and it is difficult not to be popular or black.

From the time they were called to the point where no one knew which player there was, to now being the focus of attention across the United States...... The Trojans players are adapting.

Last night, in a rare way, no one went to Hi, even Shelby Jordan went back to the hotel to sleep with his girlfriend in his arms.

'Who would have thought we were where we are today'.

This sentence is always a wake-up call for the Trojans players.

The higher they climbed, the more they knew that it was not easy, and they couldn't drop the chain when they got here.

The next day, on the afternoon of the 25th, they came to the Energy Solutions Arena to prepare for the game.

The Tigers picked up a bargain to reach the round of 16, and their Trojans also picked up a bargain to easily advance to the quarterfinals.

The next opponent is different!

The Purdue University Steam Cookers are a championship-level team with top NCAA pitchers just like them!
