From sparring to superstar

30. Chapter 29

Underestimating the enemy, or facing the Wildcats underestimating the enemy, the White Mamba suddenly felt disillusioned.

This is an idea he never had after entering the school team.

But now it seems that it has really appeared!

Breaking away from that overconfident mentality, the white mamba broke out in a cold sweat.

It is true that self-confidence, positivity, and enthusiasm are good things.

But they are now in this inflated mentality, playing against the Wildcats...

Something is going to happen!

If you can beat it, you can't beat it!
The self-confidence accumulated by the 7-game winning streak will not be ruined by this matter.

Win is win!

And Bai Mamba feels that the team has made great progress in the new season.

Glancing at the cheering preparations of his teammates, his sense of responsibility emerged, and he said, "Thanks to your calm analysis, I have to remind them."

After speaking, Bai Mamba turned on the parent mode.

Henry Bibby, who was hiding aside, let out a muffled sigh.

Well, he admitted, he seemed to be a little drifting, even the Wildcats dared to ignore him.

The team atmosphere is from top to bottom. In the preparation meeting just now, he impassionedly stated that he would win 8 consecutive victories in the first half of the final stage. Although the purpose was to boost the morale of the players, the actual effect brought It's quite different from what was expected.

Now the team needs someone to pour cold water on.

Yes, that's right, it's the White Mamba.

The 'big dad' white mamba walks around, admonishing his teammates.

Everyone was in high spirits, and when they heard the cold water he said, everyone felt annoyed, the kind written directly on their faces.

But he didn't care about this. Under his preaching like mother-in-law's scriptures, his teammates who felt uncomfortable looked at the opposing lineup carefully. 3+ players, 15 former top 8 high school students in the United States...

The pressure is rolling in!

The time for self-understanding and discussing tactics is over, and at 3:[-] in the afternoon, team training begins.

The requirements of every assistant coach in guiding training are higher than usual!Every teaching assistant's attitude is more serious than usual!
After a certain onlooker eavesdropped, he went back to call his colleagues for a small meeting, and woke up the teaching assistants who were also a little drifting.

After summing up, everyone decided not to reopen the team meeting.

How annoying Bai Mamba's bad mouth is, they also know that he is enough to annoy the players, if there is more, there will be a rebellious mentality.

Starting from actual actions, they reminded the team members from the side by increasing the intensity of training and strict requirements.

The effect is quite good!
Although the players of the Trojans have been a little drifting recently, most of them are a group of people who are very close to the numbers.

After all, among the top 18 high school students in the United States, there are only two in the [-]-man roster, and only Sam Clancy talks about "genius high school students" every day. Can listen to people's words and see the situation clearly.

Under the leadership of Bai Mamba, the teammates sank their impetuous hearts and devoted themselves to preparing for the battle.

However, the improved confidence has not been hit. The 7-game winning streak they won through hard work is real, and they are confident to beat their opponents.

Henry Bibby was relieved to see such a change.

If you are too confident but suffer a failure, it may not only bring you more than ten days of depression, but also a blow to your confidence.

Fortunately, with proper adjustments, this risk has been greatly avoided.

Even if he loses the game the day after tomorrow, the blow to his confidence will be much smaller.

Henry Bibby looking at the kid who put his heart and soul into training... again, that very special leadership style...

No!Not that kid's fault.

Thanks to the White Mamba, the leadership of the good captain under this head coach!
...

At around 7 o'clock in the evening, Li Ao took Xavier Johnson's car and went back to the apartment.

Lying on the back of the co-pilot, Li Ao felt that he had to do a full set of physiotherapy tonight.

Too much training today!
From 3:5 p.m. to 1 p.m., he has been training with the team almost all the time. He has participated in almost every lineup configuration. The offensive end needs to run and shoot or support opportunities, and the defensive end is between the 4-[-] positions. swing.

This is not over yet, at 5:15, a one-hour special training test was conducted, and then additional training on passing and mid-range shooting...

Fortunately, he came to the Memorial Stadium after lunch and shook the old man over for the mid-range shooting and catching training task. During the 10-minute break after the test, he ran to the locker room to use the physiotherapy function of the body, and put his preparations in place at any time. After eating a few breads in the backpack, I was able to relax, and the next passing and shooting training could maintain the training efficiency.

It's just that muscle fatigue and physical exertion return.

At this time, the role of physical therapists is particularly important.

This favor is worth it!

After coming downstairs to the apartment and saying goodbye to Xavier Johnson, Li Ao looked forward to what to have for dinner tonight.

In the afternoon, the auntie of the hospital assistant called the middle-aged Sao Nan and said that he would leave dinner for him tonight and let him go home for dinner.

Take the elevator to the 12th floor and see a lot of big boxes in the corridor.

He walked around the box to the door of the house assistant's aunt, and the door was open.

When changing his shoes, he asked, "Aunt Vivian, what are those things outside?"

There was a voice in the house: "Leo, are you back? Those are Christmas decorations. The landlord asked me to help with the delivery. Don't worry about it. A worker will arrange it tomorrow. The dishes are kept warm in the steam oven. You can take them out by yourself." Eat, I'll call Jack to come over."

Li Ao looked back at the tallest big box that almost reached the ceiling, guessing it was the Christmas tree that was going to be placed at the door of the apartment.

Judging from the size of these boxes, they should have been sent up by a crane, so they will have to be taken down tomorrow with a crane?

Emmm...

Does this fall into the category of creating jobs without jobs?
As expected of Eagle Sauce, this operation belongs to the atmosphere.

After entering the house, Li Ao changed his shoes, washed his hands and face, then took out the vegetables in the steam oven, baked a few slices of bread, and started eating dinner.

After Vivienne finished the call, she ran to sit next to Li Ao and asked Li Ao about the team while eating.

When she called before, she said that she would eat first, and Li Ao believed it.

But he saw that the spicy oven was full of vegetables, and he put a few extra slices of bread when toasting.

Sure enough, the auntie assistant was going to have another meal.

"Are we good against the Wildcats?"

Vivienne is looking forward to Li Ao's answer. As a diehard fan of the school team, I can't be too happy recently. I have won 7 consecutive victories at the beginning!A new record in team history!

For the game the day after tomorrow, she has already got the tickets and is going to watch in the front row.

"I think we can definitely win."

Li Ao attaches great importance to analyzing the opponent's strength, and pays more attention to it during training.

But in terms of challenge mentality, the goal is to win.

Taizu's famous sayings, every word is pearls.

"It's good to have confidence, but you can't be careless. You just started playing. You don't know how good the Wildcats are. Although you're improving fast, you're still a rookie after all..."

Vivienne turned on the warning mode.

If Li Ao said she didn't have much confidence, then she started the encouragement mode.

Chatting did not delay Vivienne's eating, and she ate significantly more of the dishes agreed to be reserved for Li Ao.

After the meal was full, Vivienne loosened her belt and muttered, "Am I really getting old? The appetite has dropped so much."

Li Ao: o(￣-￣)o
This rich woman is afraid that ordinary people can't afford it, so she eats well and eats more.

No wonder I don't have a boyfriend at this age.

Li Ao cleaned up the mess, and chatted with Vivian in the living room while watching the end of the battle between the Duke Blue Devils and the North Carolina Wolves.

The Duke Blue Devils were even better, beating the North Carolina Wolfpack 72-67 to win the game.

These two opponents, Li Ao felt uncomfortable watching the live broadcast, especially the Duke Blue Devils, whose strength is likely to be higher than that of the Wildcats and Cardinals.

If it was a life-and-death match, it is estimated that the Trojans do not have the strength to defeat the opponent now, and the psychological pressure to face such an opponent is too great.

That's not the same concept as the regional civil war. The pressure to end the season immediately after losing, he reckoned that the confidence the Trojans had built up now would be difficult to hold against the Duke Blue Devils.

After analyzing a wave, he suddenly reacted, smiled and shook his head.

Crazy Three is also divided into competition areas. According to the location of the school, it is divided into four major divisions: East, South, West, and Midwest, with 16 teams in each division.

If their teams in the Pac10 League make it into the Crazy Three, they will either be assigned to the Midwest Division, or they will be assigned to the Western Division.

Schools in North Carolina will only be assigned to the Eastern Division.

Unless you make it to the semi-finals, you won't be able to touch it at all.

He is purely unfounded.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Jack came to the door on time for service. Vivienne put on her trousers and fastened her waistband at this moment, restoring her goddess image to monitor the process of physical therapy.

Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, her family Leo looks like a pretty boy, and his body is still so good, those stinky gym-goers have complicated thoughts, what if they have evil thoughts?

She has told Liam that when Li Ao goes away, he will send Jack to accompany him, and he must let Jack's girlfriend go with him.

But listening to Li Ao's misleading screams, she called the decoration company to add soundproofing during the Christmas holiday.

At the beginning, she thought the wall panels were rustic, but now she thinks the design is too good, and the sound insulation can be removed and added, and the wall panels can be nailed back immediately.

What?Even the air is sweet, America does not work overtime?So Jack is doing voluntary labor...

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Jack finished his work and left happily.

It’s fun to work overtime. People who receive physical therapy can bear the pain and don’t need to spend so much time. They are still talkative, and they are not lonely during physical therapy.

Li Ao, who had enjoyed the ultimate sourness, bid farewell to the aunt who was helping the hospital, and returned to the small apartment next door, sweating from the pain. He resisted not lying down immediately, wiped the sweat, and after he stopped sweating, took a shower, blowing After drying her hair, she lay down on the bed.

After closing his eyes and meditating for a while, he turned on the system and looked at the 5350 achievement points, which he had accumulated for a long time...

Winning all 7 games, adding statistics, adding partner training, and adding special training tests... After a month, I finally saved 3000 achievement points.

It's time for the lottery draw, try to improve a little strength and bring more help to the team.

He knows that he is not the one who plays a decisive role in the outcome. Without the three high-level combat powers of Granville, Shelby Jordan and White Mamba, they would not have the strength to beat the Bruins and Sun Devils .

But it doesn't mean that other people are not important. On the contrary, their deep 70+ level comprehensive strength players are the cornerstone of supporting the three high-level combat power.

He never underestimates himself, he thinks he should be a member of the cornerstone of the team now.

After playing 7 games, the difference between his comprehensive evaluation and other people's comprehensive evaluation has also been seen.

Others are calculated according to their performance on the court.

As for him, it is simply the basic skills at both ends of offense and defense, plus technology and shooting, calculated according to hard indicators.

After all, whether you play well or not has a lot to do with your self-awareness on the court.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that Sam Clancy's comprehensive evaluation is 69, and he is only 61.

Even if he only has mid-range shooting and support, he can do more offensively than Sam Clancy on the court, and he can beat Sam Clancy even more defensively.

If you use the slang words to describe him, he is now a unique brother.

But if you can get more playing time and perform better, Brother Unique will be Brother Unique.

Sweepstakes Sweepstakes!

Open the lottery drawing interface, issue an instruction, and three faint white lights flashed...

He was looking forward to the three new reminders.

First.

"Congratulations to the host for getting the recipe: Fruit Pies.

The host prepares raw materials and cooks strictly according to this recipe, and will make top-notch delicious fruit pies. "

After reading the prompts, various cooking methods of fruit pies appeared in Li Ao's mind. He thought about the names of the fruit pies he knew, and immediately 'remembered' the raw materials and cooking methods needed.

"It's... convenient. It's time to enrich the dishes. Anyway, it's more useful than chasing dreams and boasting about autobiography."

To comfort himself, Li Ao looked at the remaining lottery tips.

"Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: 2 level 1 skill upgrade card fragment."

"Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: experience bracelet (white)."

"Experience bracelet (white): The host wears this bracelet, and when performing various basic basketball skills or technical training, he will get a 5% training result bonus.

Note: The host has obtained the white-level experience bracelet, and there will be a probability of winning the silver-level experience in the future. The higher the level of the lottery, the higher the probability of winning.

Equipment level: white, silver, gold, orange, purple. "

I, Mr. Li, is indeed the Emperor of Europe!
Li Ao instantly broke away from the emotion of comforting himself as a chef, and stood up!
Training results bonus, the more the better!
CIC's training efficiency is now 160%, plus 5%... less is less, but it adds up.

And this bracelet is an all-round bonus!

Then the pass is 105%, and the single defense is 145%!

And he also drew the skill upgrade card fragments, he already had 2 fragments.

This wave of blood earned!
The system prompts that three level 3 skill upgrade card fragments have been synthesized into a level 2 skill upgrade card.

After looking at the two level 1 skills of 'Perfect Warm Up' and 'Catch and Shoot Expert', he made a decision and issued instructions after thinking about it.

"The host uses a level 2 skill upgrade card. The target of the upgrade is: catch and shoot expert. The catch and shoot expert has been upgraded from level 1 to level 2."

"Catch and shoot expert level 2: 1. When the host catches and shoots, the mid-range shot +3, three-pointer +3; 2. When the host catches and shoots, it connects basic skills such as withdrawal, stepping, and lateral movement, which will slightly reduce the shooting The stronger the ability to connect the basic functions, the stronger the effect."

As he expected, the new effect was added after upgrading to level 2. Fortunately, the new effect was exactly what he needed.

Adding a catch-and-shoot bonus of 1 also makes this skill more useful at his current stage.

He was so lucky tonight, he saw that there were more than 2000 achievement points left... Let's do it again!
Just shoot!
"Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: Meditation Teapot.

The teapot makes tea and drinks, which can make people feel calm, and the effect is the best when learning to read. "

Li Ao sprayed "Pretty" and turned off the lights to go to bed, but he didn't fall asleep for a while.

Why can't he calm down!

So here comes the question, late at night, using the meditation teapot to make tea, can he calm down his irritability of not being able to fall asleep after drawing this crap?
