From sparring to superstar

Chapter 73 71. Make them smile happily
"Sweet season:

Goal: The host needs to help the team reach the top 16.

Reward: 3000 achievement points, 1 random equipment. "

The task of reaching the sweet 16 is to directly ignore the Tigers!
Just as he had this idea, another task reminder came.

"Crazy Three Appears:
Objective 1: The host needs to score the highest score in the game.

Objective 2: The host needs to help the team win.

Reward: 1000 achievement points. "

After Bai Mamba scored 10 points and gave such a task, Li Ao wanted to vomit blood.

Fight!

Try to widen the point difference first, and then stay on the court, but you can shoot hard.

Plan pass!
Timeout comes back and the Tigers attack.

A timeout was called and personnel adjustments were made. Facing the much weaker defense of the Trojans, the Tigers' offense not only did not improve, but became more messy.

Originally, the Tigers players were just nervous, and they worked hard on the court, but they were actually very focused.

Entering the timeout, after they withdraw from the state of concentration, they have negative emotions-fear of losing.

The gap in strength was there, and they tried their best, but the point difference was still opened up by the opposing striker.

Now the Tigers players are not nervous anymore, they are playing very impatiently, and the coordination is messed up on the first offense.

When Vincent Jones received the ball from the low post and scored on Roy Dixon on the wing, his intentions were too obvious, and Li Ao completed a steal!
Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Li Ao threw the ball to Granville who responded, and then quickly played it off.

Granville made a counterattack and came first from behind. The Tigers had a good sense of retreat and blocked the defense in place. Granville scored the ball...

Li Ao received the ball on the right side of the three-second zone and took a step into the three-second zone. Lawrence Myers jumped up and tried to steal it, but when Li Ao stepped up, he had already started shooting, and he carried Lawrence Myers sideways. , Facing the bottom line, stand on tiptoe with your left foot and hook your right foot, and swing your right hand in a semicircle...

Grandpa hook...

Hollow hit!

'Perfect Warm Up' First shot feels hot!
The moment the ball fell into the frame, the referee whistled.

Lawrence Miles fouled, Li Ao got an extra penalty!

The scene boiled instantly!

The fans are actually a bit dissatisfied, why not use jump shots at close range?How handsome!

The result is that this ugly old man shoots the ball, which is supported by his appearance.

Fortunately, there was a 2+1, which they reluctantly accepted.

The cheerleaders on both sides of the basket were even more excited and rushed to Li Ao's side. The most unrestrained one directly pulled Li Ao's head off, and Li Ao struggled to get rid of the shell attack.

Amidst the envious ridicule of his teammates, Li Ao walked to the free throw line and focused on the free throw, in case the two ends were too big, it would be embarrassing.

The free throw was stable, 2+1 was scored, 24 to 14, and the Trojans led by 10 points!
Calling a timeout made the game worse, and Andy Stöglin yelled loudly from the sidelines, telling the players to calm down.

Other than that, there is no other way, the most is to wait for the players to explode.

Their strength is at the level of a better-equipped Duke team. There are players with excellent physical fitness like Vincent Jones, but this player has been predicted from the second round to no one. The reason is that he has been a starter for a little over two years. The progress in technology is invisible, and when it comes to tough battles, they can't count on it, so they dominate the competition area. Tonight's defense against the Trojans is like stealth.

The situation began to favor the Trojans overwhelmingly.

As the game progressed, the Trojans discovered a problem—their handsome guy played so proactively!

If you have a chance to shoot, if you don't have a chance, run quickly to catch the ball, and from time to time, you will serve against the defense.

In order to get rid of the defense, the shooting point is obviously more outside than usual!

However, well cast!
The coach and teammates haven't paid attention to Li Ao's performance on the field for a while.

Because in those few games in Dallas, although Li Ao averaged 14 points per game and ranked second in the team, his style of play has returned to the way it used to be. He handled the ball calmly, shot when opportunities were good, and gave priority to support. The overall shooting percentage of 45+ was stable. , such him, the teammates are used to it, so they didn't pay special attention.

Tonight, Li Ao's style of play became the same as when he played against several teams in the Pacific Sports League, but his shots were much more accurate than then!

If it wasn't for the fact that he was obviously more handsome, they would have thought it was the white mamba in the mid-range shot!
It was the Trojans attack again, Tre Pagnell scored the ball, and Li Ao made a jumper on the right side of the free throw line after being covered by Nate Hale, who came off the bench.

Trepagnier spouted a slang term, and their little handsome guy has made transformational progress in his CIC.

But he's used to it...

Immediately after the Tigers scored a three-pointer, Henry Bibby called a timeout.

It's not because the opponent scored a three-pointer, but it's time for a substitution.

打到上半场17分55秒，比分48比32，特洛伊人队领先老虎队16分。

With 9 of 5 shots and 4 of 3 free throws, Li Ao scored 13 points and successfully surpassed the White Mamba!
Two of their own players scored 10+ points in the half, and the fans were so excited that they shouted "Brian" and "Leo" frantically.

The players of the Trojans are also very excited. The little handsome guy has improved, and the possibility of them becoming great this year is even higher!

As for Li Ao's sudden aggressive play, no one in the team thought anything was wrong.

The improvement is so great, and the point difference has widened, so the little handsome guy is not allowed to show off?
...

First-class shooting, although only relying on the 'catch and shoot expert' to increase from 82 to 85, and is limited to catch and mid-range shots, but Li Ao's main scoring method is the catch and mid-range shots that need to be fed by his teammates... He hits the ball , just say hello.

Later, I didn't pay attention to whether his score was higher than that of the white mamba, and really entered the state of enjoying the game.

Helping each other is the best habit in the team this year. Even Li Ao and Sam Clancy, who are not used to each other, never hesitate to pass the ball to each other on the court.

When the White Mamba and Li Ao were on the court at the same time, in order to allow Li Ao to adapt to the improved shooting more quickly, he changed from running and catching the ball to mainly running and pinning the ball. Brusenthal and Trepagnier also actively Gouging the inside line to attract pincers to score the ball to Li Ao, Granville also gave priority to Li Ao when distributing the ball.

Li Ao, who took 9 shots in the first half, took 12 shots in the second half, the second time in his college career that he took 20+ shots in a single game!
With the conscious help of his teammates, Li Ao took more shots in the second half, but his shooting percentage did not drop but rose!

On the Tigers side, the defensive discipline collapsed, the offensive end became more and more urgent, and a large number of three-point shots that did not get rid of the defense appeared.

With 4 minutes and 33 seconds left, Henry Bibby called a timeout and replaced the main players, allowing Rob Erez and Sandy Fletcher, two players who hadn't played tonight, to play a crazy three game.

The goal is to be the champion, and everyone has shouted it out, but you have to prepare for the worst.

If they are eliminated on the 20th, these two players may not be able to play. Even if they lose, they will definitely fight to the end. By then, these two marginal players may not be able to play.

When Li Ao left the stage, there was another round of cheers, and countless people shouted his English name.

His performance tonight made the fans crazy!

He was also taken aback when he saw his stats, 30 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals in a single game!

He just kept shooting, but he didn't expect to get so many points.

Co-authored, the middle-aged Sao Nan waited for him to reach 30+ in a single game before replacing him?

下半场他出手12次，7次中投，7中4，内线出手2中1，反击和攻防转换的跟进接应3中3，加上4中3的罚球……半场17分！
It was the first time he scored in double figures in both halves.

After blowing a few kisses to the fans, which elicited screams from the female supporters, he returned to the bench to sit down.

Turning on the system, he looked at his stats this season. After only scoring 3 points against the Dukes, he has scored in double figures in 14 consecutive games.

Since he scored 33 points in a single game against the Wildcats, he has scored in double figures in 21 of the last 20 games!
He suddenly found that before he knew it, he had become accustomed to scoring in double figures.

He remembers scoring in double figures in four or five straight games after returning from Christmas break, and his teammates often encouraged him.

Afterwards, the teammates also got used to it.

Habits are a terrible thing.

Now that he scored in double figures and no one praised him, he felt very sad.

After a while, amidst the wild cheers of the fans at the scene, the final whistle sounded.

The score was fixed at 102 to 78. The Trojans beat the Tigers by 24 points and advanced to the top 32!
Win the game and get 255 achievement points.

The task of "Crazy Three Debuts" was completed, Bai Mamba only scored 7 points in the remaining time, and Li Ao got 1000 achievement points.

Crazy Three's first show, Li Ao has gained a lot!
...

Tonight is the 28th exciting and happy night for Trojans fans this season.

At the end of the game, some female fans even tore off the remaining jerseys and threw circles on their heads, and the big screen returned the camera, which triggered another carnival of the fans on site.

Li Ao noticed that this female fan is different from the cheap operation before, it looks very real!

The key is to look good, with a healthy wheat complexion, a standard sexy, hot and open beach girl.

However, shortly after the final whistle sounded, the auntie assistant rushed to him and begged for a hug. His attention was drawn away by the auntie assistant, and he thought it was a pity afterwards.

This is a live performance.

24 points slaughter, 30 points in a single game, he thinks their performance tonight is simply eye-catching!Absolutely amazingly strong.

However, when he returned to the apartment after the game, Li Ao watched the news at the house of his aunt's assistant, and saw that the evaluation of their Trojans team was only "meet expectations" or "not the number one parallel importer".

because……

In the Midwest Division, the Sun Devils were eliminated, and Eddie House, who the fans of the Pac10 League had been thinking about, was gone for another game against the Cardinals.

The Michigan State Spartans beat the Sun Devils 98-60 by 38 points!
His 30 points in a single game were praised, and his talent was praised again, but it didn't make people feel amazing.

It's not that he performed badly, but that one individual's performance was really amazing-Eddie House!

太阳恶魔队全队只拿到60分，埃迪-豪斯29投14中，其中三分球12中7，外加7中7的罚球，单场拿到42分！
Not only did he get 40+ in a single game in Crazy Three, this is Eddie House's sixth 6+ in a single game this season!

Tonight, after losing the game, Eddie House's NCAA career ended.

In the last battle, he set a record of 10 5+ games in a single game held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Li Ao was sour: "What's so proud of getting more than 40 points in a loss?"

Vivienne on the side burst into laughter, this child is simply too cute.

After the first game, the Trojans got two days off, and on the 20th, they will compete with the Academy Badgers for the Sweet 16 spot.

The next morning, the coaching staff arranged for a rest, and a preparation meeting in the afternoon, with the main training concentrated on the 19th.

But Li Ao still got up early, served as a driver at 8 o'clock, and drove to the Memorial Stadium.

The assistant aunt said she would send him to the arena for training and help him serve, but he became the one who drove.

"Leo, you've worked too hard. Didn't you say last night that you should take a good rest this morning?"

"I thought that way last night, but I woke up this morning and wanted to train. I can't sit still. After the season is over, I will have time to rest. I can go to class and read books."

"Take reading in class as a rest, and you Chinese..."

When he arrived at the Memorial Stadium and entered the underground parking lot, Li Ao saw many people gathered outside the stadium.

He said, "It's early in the morning, I'm really full and have nothing to do", but his sense of responsibility is a little heavier.

Let the fans who support them show a happy smile, which is what an athlete should do.

At the same time, he was somewhat proud of himself.

Recently, he saw a saying in the Trojans fan group-he came to this team, brought victory to this team, and brought the joy of winning to the fans.

For him, playing basketball is the highest praise for him, and he has to work hard to be worthy of such praise.

...

Li Ao practiced the catch-and-shoot and the hook all morning. At this time, he practiced the latter because he discovered that he actually had a lot of opportunities to cut into the frame.

He analyzed it with his auntie last night. He played against the Cardinals in the final game of the division. He has gained a certain reputation in the United States. Support, CIC and handsome genius have become his labels.

Later, when he played against weaker opponents in the "place competition" stage, his scoring soared. He has played 28 games and averaged 13.69 points per game, ranking second in the team.

In his opinion, some opponents will count his scoring average after he scored 33 points against the Wildcats, because he will also count other people's scoring in this way. Since that game, in 21 games, he averaged 16.1 points per game , already comparable to the White Mamba.

In the spot competition stage, Bai Mamba is a striker who does not have much singles ability. The sharp drop has now averaged 9 points per game.

Li Ao's inside scoring is mainly based on counterattacks and positional warfare.

After analyzing with the courtyard assistant, he concluded that the opponent will most likely choose to let go, and only use the center to defend against interference, and they will not stare at him.

If you can seize this opportunity, it will definitely help the team win.
