From sparring to superstar

Chapter 62 60. Fighting Wildcats Again

The Golden State Bears, currently fourth from last in the division with 6 wins and 8 losses, is not such a strong team. They played against the Trojans and were timid before fighting.

Coupled with the bear heads held by more than [-] fans at the scene... Even if they know that in the eyes of these people, they are not the bears that were beheaded, after being overwhelmed by the Trojans in terms of momentum, this is still an overwhelming feeling. The last straw for their fighting spirit.

Every Golden State player is wondering: What can we do to stop the opponent's winning streak?
Golden State Bears star Chantaile Gans, who had been at odds with Granville and had already figured out how to scold Li Ao after the last match, didn't have the courage to walk in front of the opposing group this time.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Trojans played against the Golden State Bears at home.

The Trojans started off by overwhelming the Golden State Bears.

The top scorer of the Golden State Bears, Sean Lampley, averaged 17 points per game. He is a proper NCAA first-line scorer, but he played very badly tonight. Shelby Jordan's defense against him was better than the last match Do better!

Shelby Jordan's personal defensive ability has not improved much during this period, and his physical fitness is limited. Unless he grows a few years older, at the age of 25 or [-], it is difficult to make significant progress, but at that time he had already You should go to work in a certain factory, or if you are lucky, start a business.

But he has done a better job of cooperating with his teammates on the defensive end. He is more willing to communicate and cooperate with his teammates. The defense of his teammates has also improved a lot in the past few months.

Faced with such a defense, Sean Lampley has the heart to play badly.

Finally, when it came to the rotation stage, Sean Lampley's confidence recovered after watching Li Ao play. Although he was tossed by Shelby Jordan in the last match, he still played Li Ao with ease.

In his opinion, Li Ao defended against outside shooters very well. Last time Li Ao restricted Brian Withers' outside shots at a critical moment and helped the Trojans win the final victory.

But to guard against him, he must let Li Ao know why the flowers are so popular!

Then, he encountered a rougher and more intense defense than Shelby Jordan's defense!

Teamwork and the use of teammates' defense, Li Ao still has a gap compared to Shelby Jordan. When he has no advantage in height, he is not as good as Shelby Jordan in defense against singles and shooting strikers, but Sean, who mainly defends breakthroughs. -Lamply, Li Ao is tougher and fiercer than Shelby Jordan!
From about to collapse to seeing the hope of blowing up the opponent, Sean Lampley also underestimated the enemy, which made him play worse than the previous few minutes.

The Golden State Bears collapsed across the board, and the Trojans played against their opponents throughout.

最终，靠着白曼巴的15分、格兰维尔的10分8助攻、李敖的11分3板3助攻2抢断1盖帽、布鲁森塔尔的14分、特雷帕格尼尔的9分3助攻……特洛伊人队以82比65轻取金州熊队，豪取15连胜！

After the final whistle, the Trojans gathered around and chanted "Winning!"

The fans at the scene heard the players chanting such slogans, and they also chanted "total victory"!
Gans smiled wryly when he heard the voices of the players on the opposite side.

He and his team have never had such ambition and self-confidence.

...

The Trojans won 15 consecutive victories, breaking the longest winning streak in the pac26 league in 10 years.

What was left...was a pile of bear heads in the streets and alleys of Los Angeles.

The sanitation workers immediately went on strike, and there were scenes of store owners and drivers cursing and picking up bear heads and throwing them away.

The wave of 'bear-killing fever' quickly faded after the Trojans defeated the Golden State Bears.

Nationally, the Trojans' attention has plummeted.

The popularity across the United States, the Trojans actually took the light of the Bruins. Although the pac20 league has lost its glory in the past 10 years, as the only dynasty team in the NCAA, major events related to the Bruins always attract the attention of the Bruins. to a lot of attention.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, who doesn't love a center.

However, the popularity of the Trojans in the competition area has not cooled down. In California and the cities where the teams of the Pac10 League are located, their popularity continues to rise!
In the pac10 league, since the 71-72 season, no team has achieved a complete victory in the divisional civil war.

In the past 25 seasons, the pac10 league has only won two championships, which is the bottom of the six top leagues.

There are 3 top teams, but no team has the ability to dominate the division. With a record of 18 wins and 0 losses, no team dares to win.

Now, there is finally a team that hopes to win the divisional civil war!
And they yelled out without fear!
The fans of the 6 teams that have been double-killed by the Trojans hope that the Trojans can achieve such an achievement at this time, so that it will appear that the team they support is not so good.

But in turn, fans of the Trojans' three remaining opponents didn't want to see that happen.

The fans of the Sun Devils are okay. They were hostile to the Trojans at the beginning of the season because the two sides were competitors for the top four in the division, but now that the gap is so big, they don't care.

Fans of the Wildcats and Cardinals, the three top teams in the division, really want to end this civilian dark horse.

But now a new situation has emerged.

Minutes after the Trojans 'killed the bears' to improve their record to 15 wins and 0 losses, the Wildcats played against the Cardinals on the road, relying on the combination of Gardner and Arenas to score 7 With a three-pointer, relying on his excellent outside shooting performance, he tore the Cardinals' defense and won the victory 74 to 68, avenging the opening stage of the season.

The Wildcats got their revenge, it was cool, and the Trojans were even better!
After losing to the Wildcats, the Cardinals' record came to 11 wins and 4 losses, tied by the Wildcats.

赛区内战阶段还剩3场比赛，已经15胜0负的特洛伊人队提前3场锁定pac10联盟1999-2000赛季联盟冠军！

...

"The host helped the team win the pac10 league championship, and this is the first time the host participated in the regular league and won the championship. Congratulations to the host for winning the only reward: the pride of the champion (level 1).

Congratulations to the host for winning the reward: 3 achievement points. "

"Champion's Pride (Level 1): When the host's team player wins the championship or No.1 in the division stage, regular stage, and group stage, and enters the finals, playoffs, and knockout stage, he will receive a small Negative confidence bonus, small negative reduces oppression and fear caused by the opponent's strong strength.

Upgrade method: skill upgrade card or win the season (large event) final championship. "

Status skills +1, this time it is still a collective buff, although the current bonus is very small, like a chicken rib, but there is still room for improvement.

It is better to have the skills than to have none.

In addition to rewards, there are new tasks!
"Total victory:
Goal: The host needs to help the team end the division stage with a record of 18 wins and 0 losses.

Reward: 3 level 1 skill upgrade card. "

This task, Li Ao thinks it's a good time!

Locking the division championship ahead of schedule could not satisfy his growing ambitions.

This is not only him, but the entire Trojans team!
A group of stunned college students would never think about such things as "the third place has been locked, use competition as a substitute for training".

win!
Always win!

This is what Li Ao and his teammates want to do most at present.

On February 2th, the aunt who was still excited drove Li Ao to the airport in person. Li Ao met his teammates and flew to Tucson.

Unlike Phoenix, the most prosperous city in Arizona, Tucson, the second largest city in the state, is like a large town, with sporadic tall buildings that stand out.

After entering the urban area, Li Ao felt that the city's nickname 'Tusang' was indeed correct.

Because it was once colonized by many European countries in turn because of its rich silver and copper mines, the architectural styles are various, and he saw several cathedrals of various styles along the way.

Taken out alone, they are actually quite distinctive, but together, they are really earthy.

In addition, this city is built on the Gobi Desert, giving people a strong sense of sight of the upstarts in the Middle East.

The Trojans came to a hotel near the National Observatory to rest for one night. On the second day, February 2, they came to the Cardinals Stadium to challenge the Wildcats.

Different from the big and beautiful style in Phoenix, the Cardinals Stadium in Tucson looks rather petty, with only 14600 seats packed around the arena.

But there are also small benefits.

As a strong team in a small city, the fans here are extremely loyal!Very enthusiastic!

The atmosphere of the scene, even the Pauley Arena of the Bruins, cannot be compared with this place.

More than 4000 people at the scene, all wearing red and blue Wildcat T-shirts, shouted "Beat LA" in unison.

'Helping' the Trojans to secure the championship ahead of schedule, the Wildcats didn't really care.

In their view, the Sun Devils next door met the Trojans for nothing. Whether they win the Cardinals will not prevent the Trojans from winning the division championship.

And isn't it just a division champion? In the past 20 years, their Wildcats have won the most division championships.

Their goal is to prevent the Trojans from winning the division!

However, this call, instead of scaring the Trojans, made Li Ao and others even more excited.

Thinking back to a few months ago, when the season started, how could they have imagined that they would have the honor of 'representing' Angeles City?

Now, the Bruins are in decline. The Lakers have lost in the playoffs for three consecutive years. They were swept twice and 3-1 once. There are two high schools in Geerwood High School, the Los Angeles basketball team, and the one with the best momentum so far is really the Trojans.

The last time they played against each other, the harmonious relationship between Bibby and his son was shattered. The relationship between the two teams leaped forward and became sworn enemies.

After entering the arena, Li Ao felt two sharp eyes like knives.

One, another No. 0 player who wanted to fuck him.

The other one kept staring at his lower body, trying to figure out how to 'normally' pull off his pants.

Michael Wright hated, but was principled.

The last time the pants were ripped, in the final analysis, it was just a small move on the defensive end, and the penalty for the physical foul after the game was cancelled.

If you want to retaliate, you have to "basketball action" to retaliate.

Just take off the pants, how the referee will whistle and say, he will definitely be regarded as a pervert, and his teammates will avoid him in the future.

But the sharp eyes hit Li Ao's face, not even a single hair could be removed, and the iron cloth shirt was full level.

He is not affected by the two at all, he is a hot shooter from the sidelines, and he feels quite good in the middle of the shot!
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the game began.

Wildcats starting: Gardner, Arenas, Richard - Jefferson, Michael - Wright, Lauren - Woods.

Trojans starters: Granville, Trepagnier, Shelby Jordan, White Mamba, Charles.

Woods beat Charles on the jump ball, the scene erupted into thunderous cheers, and the Wildcats went first.

The Wildcats players all pressed on with a murderous look, vowing to avenge their last defeat.

The players of the Trojans who retreated to the backcourt did not lose to their opponents at all. With the desire to win and the high fighting spirit in their eyes, they were even better than their opponents.

Facing Granville's defense against breakthrough positions, Gardner's iconic step-back three-pointer hit.

Looking back, Trepagnier forced Arenas, rushed to close range, and hit the board with a high toss against Woods who pounced on him!

After the goal, Trey Pagnier jumped up and punched, roaring loudly, which attracted boos from the fans.

He has been waiting for this day for a long time!

The cowardice after being blown up by Arenas last time, he regards it as a shame, and he must wash it away today!

Li Ao stood up and cheered and applauded on the sidelines. Trepagnier's "Even if I can't guard you, you can't guard me" is really exciting.

Seeing that the little scumbag he had beaten up last time was so arrogant, Arenas immediately made a decision against the coach's arrangement, and he wanted to return it!

After Gardner advanced to the frontcourt, he reluctantly passed the ball to Arenas. He singled out three-pointers, which was part of his tactics, threatening outside shots.

The well-known Arenas doesn't need to do this. He only needs to stand in the right position to catch the ball, and he can create 4-on-4 opportunities for his teammates, and take over the game when he needs to score in singles.

Now Arenas directly asks for the ball to play singles, and the opponents haven't done anything yet, and their Wildcats' team offense has stagnated.

But even though he went straight to the top, Arenas singled Trey Pagnier's emergency stop and scored two points!
This is why teammates love and hate Arenas. It's unreasonable, but just being able to throw the damn ball in!
Arenas' wonderful emergency stop jumper dispelled the dissatisfaction of his teammates, and the Wildcats players struggled to retreat and fall into a good position.

But for the Trojans, Henry Bibby was not dissatisfied with not defending the ball, but nodded secretly.

It was right to let Tre Pagnell attack in the starting stage!That kid's judgment was very accurate. The number 0 on the opposite side is a powder keg, and it will explode at one point.

As Henry Bibby expected, the next few rounds entered the one-on-one stage between Tre Pagnier and Arenas.

Unfortunately, Tre Pagnier was no match for Arenas. When teammates on both sides began to help defend, Arenas was still able to score steadily, and Trey Pagnier's efficiency dropped significantly.

But even so, Trepagnier still did not hesitate, showing a tenacious fighting spirit.

After playing for a few minutes, the score came to 11 to 16. The Trojans were 5 points behind, and the Wildcats still had the ball. Dead ball, replace Shelby Jordan with Li Ao.

Seeing Li Ao playing, Arenas looked up at him with his nostrils, and then tapped the number 0 on his chest.

The big-screen camera has already shown Arenas, who had a great start, and the fans on the scene screamed loudly when they saw this scene!
