From sparring to superstar

Chapter 31 30. The undercover agent is myself

The next morning, Li Ao looked through the refrigerator at Auntie's house, and happened to have ingredients for apple pie, so he tried to make one.

After Vivienne got up, she saw the new dish and couldn't wait to try it out. It was so delicious that she exclaimed again and again: "Leo, this is the best apple pie I've ever eaten since I was a child. When did you learn it? Why hasn't it been done before?"

"I just learned the recipes I found online." Li Ao said foolishly.

"Just learned? You are indeed a culinary genius. If you don't become a professional in the future, stop facing the computer all day long and come to me as a personal chef. The salary will definitely be higher than that of your job."

Vivian's eyes were shining, Li Ao rolled his eyes, he cut a small piece and tasted it, it was really delicious!

Li Ao suddenly had an idea and said, "When I get old, I will open a street food stall and sell these things that are easy to make."

"Opening a food stall when you're old? Why?"

"Find something to do when you get old and retire, otherwise you will develop dementia if you are idle all day long."

"It makes sense...I'll invest! I'll be the boss! When there's business, I cook it for customers, and when there's no business, you cook it for me!"

"All right, all right, you're the boss..."

Li Ao was perfunctory, but was speechless in his heart.

This hospital assistant aunt wants to ride on his head for the rest of her life?
impossible!
To be a partner, he must be on top.

He wants to be the stall owner himself!
...

After a while, when it was hot, Li Ao opened the hospital to help his aunt's car to go to school.

Before he left, Vivian asked him to make another apple pie and put it in the oven for a fixed time, and lent him the car to drive.

Dean Teng went to San Francisco to attend a software conference. Vivienne, who is a hospital assistant, has nothing to do these two days. She needs to sort out the materials and information. She plans to go in the afternoon and eat snacks and watch soap operas at home in the morning. , Waiting for the workers to come and direct those Christmas decorations.

This leisurely life makes someone very envious.

However, after training in the Memorial Gymnasium in the afternoon and starting teamwork training, he feels that this is what he wants to do now.

The training volume of the team is not large today, mainly tactical movement. Tomorrow is the "little Christmas battle", so we have to save our energy.

But for Li Ao, he felt that the middle-aged Sao Nan was no longer a human being, and he simply didn't treat him as a human being!
He still has extra training, but today he only added one item-special shooting training.

In this regard, he wants to say—to keep it in the future.

In fact, the coaching staff didn't plan to arrange special training for him today, but seeing that he can survive the intense training yesterday and is still alive and well today, Henry Bibby decided to add it.

As the head coach, he naturally knows that Li Ao's shooting and defense are currently in a stage of rapid improvement. Since he has the conditions to practice, he should practice.

Putting on the experience bracelet, Li Ao started the special training of catching and shooting.

Today's training added the two basic skills of running position, emergency stop, catch and shoot and turning around to catch and shoot. The basic skills of theory, emergency stop and turning were taught. Or a shot after a step or a step back.

With hard training and actual combat, he is in the stage of rapid improvement in CIC. As he practiced, the system reminded him that his CIC rating has increased to 74!
Not only that, but after the first group of training ended, two more system prompts came!
"The host has fully learned the basic skills related to catching and shooting, and many basic skills have reached a qualified level. The training method of catching and shooting has been further improved and upgraded to level 2. The host will gain an additional 40% of the training results for the training of mid-range shooting."

At the same time, the level 2 training task of catching and shooting has also started.

But he saw that there was a quest objective related to catching the ball and jumping up... Let's continue to do the level 1 quest first, to ensure that the physiotherapy function of the body can be used every training day and game day.

Li Ao is very excited that the training method of catching and shooting has been upgraded to level 2.

At first, he was worried that the progress of CIC might slow down after reaching a good mid-range level. Now that the training efficiency has increased to 185%, there should be no need to worry.

Additional training results, this mainly depends on the talent itself.

If the talent is a full score of 100, the 40% bonus should explode as much as possible.

But if the talent is at the passing level of 60 points, even if there is a 40% bonus, it is still far behind the person with full-level talent.

However, he learned from Xavier Johnson that his CIC talent is top-notch. With the personality of this hardcore member of the boastful group, he may be a little watery, but no matter how bad he is, he should be very good.

Originally due to fatigue, the enthusiasm for training has cooled down, but now it boils immediately.

Seeing Li Ao's enthusiasm and enthusiasm, Xavier Johnson couldn't help feeling sorry.

Talented and hardworking, if he had started practicing a few years ago, he would definitely be a top player in the NCAA.

But he changed his mind, if that was the case, it would be impossible for this kid to come to their school, UCLA, University of Kentucky, University of Arizona, Duke University, University of North Carolina...

Most importantly, he didn't enjoy the opportunity to mentor such a genius.

Moreover, Li Ao is not particularly old now, he is only 18 years old, and he still has enough time to grow up.

This depends on the ability of his coach!
...

"It's so lively..." Li Ao looked at the two groups of people outside the gate of the arena downstairs and exclaimed.

Vivienne replied: "Of course, this is a mini Christmas game. Although it doesn't get as much attention as the NBA Christmas game, the fans of our own team attach great importance to this game."

"That's not enough to scold in the street..."

Liam took over the conversation: "Haha, this is a small scene. You didn't go to the championship finals last year. The fans who couldn't enter the game took up the streets. Half of the fans from the two teams came out to maintain law and order. coming."

"Huh? Why did I see people in Bruins jerseys gathering with our fans? We've been infiltrated by an evil enemy?"

Vivian gave Li Ao a blank look: "What are you thinking in your head all day long? The Bruins have gone to San Francisco. We are in Los Angeles. The Wildcats are here to challenge us. In this kind of game, we represent the University of Los Angeles basketball. The Bruins Fans will come to help us when they are free, if we go away and they are at home, we will also help."

Li Ao understood. He has been at Yingjiang's house for so long, and he knows a lot about the national conditions here.

Yingjiang's family, even if it is a dog, has to stand up, otherwise it is heresy.

On December 12, the eighth game day of the season for the Trojans arrived.

In the morning, Li Ao went to class as usual. After lunch with Vivienne and Liam at noon, he came to the Memorial Stadium and went to the second floor of the outer business district to watch the lively scene outside the stadium.

After Vivian and Liam took Li Ao to feel the lively atmosphere, the three separated.

Vivienne made an appointment to go shopping with the famous ladies who are going to watch the ball together tonight; Liam also has a few second-generation friends who are going to watch the ball together. The relationship is actually average, and some of them have holidays, but they are already in their twenties. Except for some who were abandoned by their families after training, most of them started to socialize with each other either on their own initiative or at the request of their families.

Only Li Ao, who shook the old man, trained for the task of catching and shooting.

The level 1 catching and mid-range shooting training task has become easier to complete, and he feels that he should work hard towards completing the level 2 task.

When it came to the pre-match preparation stage, Li Ao felt the excitement, tension, and excitement of his teammates...the complex emotions combined.

But have no fear!
Unlike when he played the Bruins in the opening game, he regarded himself as a subordinate in terms of attitude towards the enemy.

At 6:[-] in the evening, after completing the "perfect warm-up", Li Ao changed his jersey, put on his training clothes, and couldn't wait to enter the player tunnel.

The warm-up of the fans at the scene seemed to be even higher than that of the opening game. As soon as the door opened, the roaring shouts from the stadium had already spread to the locker room of the men's basketball home team, which was about to turn two corners.

Li Ao's impatient look made his teammates active as well. A group of people swarmed out like a rush, and ran to the entrance of the player tunnel.

The jersey of the Trojans tonight is the '1999 Christmas limited edition', with white trim and red as the main color. It is said to celebrate Christmas, but Li Ao thinks it is just to sell a wave of jerseys.

No, at least 2% of the more than 90 people on the scene wore the 'Christmas limited edition' jerseys.

Most of the thousands of fans outside the stadium also put on limited edition jerseys.

But he likes this color scheme, it's a big festival and festive.

The frenzied atmosphere at the scene made everyone in the Trojans team excited. Shelby Jordan ran into the court with open arms, detonating the cheers of the fans.

The first to enter was robbed!

The teammates scolded Shelby Jordan for being shameless, and immediately followed into the court.

Fans at the scene shouted the names of the Trojans players, and the ones who shouted the most were naturally the three leading stars Granville, Shelby Jordan, and Scalabrine.

However, other less famous players have also attracted a lot of fans recently.

There is also a handsome guy whose popularity is rapidly catching up to those of the three headed football stars. The number of people calling his name has increased significantly tonight.

Black and red are also red, and because of the 7-game winning streak at the beginning, the school team fans have added a layer of filters to all the players on the team. Although there are still many people who hate him, there are also more Lu Zhuan fans and black fans.

Feeling the atmosphere of the scene, the grand occasion of tens of thousands of people calling his name emerged in Li Ao's mind... Work hard!

Suddenly, the atmosphere of the scene changed suddenly.

Li Ao looked at the entrance of the opposite player channel, and sure enough, it was the Wildcats who came.

His eyes immediately focused on the rebellious man on the opposite side - Gilbert Arenas.

“吉尔伯特-阿里纳斯，17岁（1982年1月6号），188公分，83公斤，综合评价88……出战7场，场均16分2.7板4.1助攻……”

Li Ao met an opponent younger than him for the first time, and his hostility was full in an instant.

He heard that Arenas’s high school’s basketball strength is not strong, and the league he participated in is not the first league of high school, so even if he was a senior in high school, he averaged 33 points per game, ranking 17th among high school students in the United States at the age of 99. After graduating from high school, none of the six top league universities invited him to join. The only one interested in Arenas was the Bruins. He was not invited to join.

And Arenas is a very conceited person, he will not go to universities that are not in the top six leagues.

In the end, the University of Arizona came back after harvesting a wave of talents, and found that there was a lack of a substitute for the guard position. After scanning the list of the top [-] high school students, they found that there was another fish that slipped through the net, so they were admitted.

Then, Arenas was out of control. After playing 3 games in the new season, through court performance, team training performance, and verbal humiliation, Ruben Douglas, the starting shooting guard in the sophomore season, transferred to another school in embarrassment. It is logical to become the youngest starter in the history of the Wildcats.

In Li Ao's opinion, there is no such thing as authenticity in the matter of forcibly grabbing the first game. The world of sports competition is also very cruel.

But at the age of 17, Granville is stronger than the 20-year-old Granville. Such a thing as a genius is outrageous.

In addition to Arenas, the opposing power forward Michael Wright, who is 201 cm tall, also has a comprehensive evaluation of 87, averaging 15 points and 8 rebounds per game.

Lauren Woods, who is 216 cm tall, has a comprehensive evaluation of 85 and averages 15 points and 7 rebounds per game.

175公分的控卫贾森-加德纳，83的综合评价，场均12分5.7助攻2抢断。

201公分的小前锋理查德-杰弗森，79的综合评价，场均11分4板2助攻2抢断1.3盖帽。

Luke Walton, a forward and guard swingman on the bench, is two meters tall, has a comprehensive evaluation of 79, and averages 5.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game.

The high-level combat power is full!

Starting + sixth man, the core lineup of the Wildcats is not as lame as the Bruins. It is not without reason that the third record of 6 wins and 1 loss beats the fourth Bruins.

In addition to these people, there are Justin Wiesel, Rick Anderson, and Russell Harris, three former top 76 high school students in the United States, with comprehensive evaluations of 73, 70, and [-] respectively.

Although the comprehensive evaluation of the remaining three players is below 70, the core lineup of these nine players has already put tremendous pressure on Li Ao.

Fortunately for him, Gardner and Arenas, two great talents on the opposite back line, are freshmen, and they don't have a complete top scorer like Eddie House, otherwise they wouldn't be able to play.

At present, the highest combat power of the two teams is the White Mamba of their Trojans, with a comprehensive evaluation of 91 and an average of 18.4 points per game.

Li Ao leaned over to Henry Bibby and said, "Coach, it's fortunate that your son went to the NBA two years ago, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to beat him. He is so strong, and we have an undercover agent on our side."

"Although Mike is great, the game is played as a team, not by a single person..."

Henry Bibby's pride is that his son is strong. Even if the relationship is not good, he is still proud. He likes to hear Li Ao's words, but he is still humble.

But what does undercover mean?
It took a few seconds for Henry Bibby to react, kicking towards Li Ao. Li Ao's speed of 89 and flexibility of 92 were brought to the extreme, moving flexibly and dodging easily...
